I’ve already proven that reactivity of 0 in any program finds more items. And I’ve shown why in another video. And I’ve proven it by detecting a roll of quarters in general mode. No one should run reactivity other than 0. And that’s facts. 
 

 

Um. Ok then.  Good luck with that.

I’ve dug a roll of dimes before. All 50 of them. lol  Honestly I don’t even remember what machine I was using. Could have been the etrac or maybe an f-19…??? I do remember it hit good and I knew it was a larger target. It was quite a surprise. The newest was a 1992. No paper left and no silver. I kept them for a while until one day I just threw them in with the clad. Ya just never know what you’re gonna dig up? love this hobby!

What video is this? You hunting at a park or beach when you did video? Id like to see some in field results if you wouldn't mind sharing that video.

So, no matter how polluted the site is with iron or aluminum you’re saying to stay with reactivity set to zero?   If that’s what I’m understanding from your quote above, that’s just plain wrong.  Why would XP give you options to adjust the reactivity if like you say “reactivity of 0 in any program finds more items”?  Maybe I’m misunderstanding you and if so I apologize, but to say no one should run reactivity other than 0 is misinformation and could lead someone who’s new to a deus II to get quite frustrated by following what you posted.  

Why would XP give a sensitivity setting of 3? Who knows. But they really messed by making most, if not all programs,  2-3 reactivity when the machine should be set at 0. 
 

I have yet to see anyone show a reactivity of 3 is better than 0.

It's explained very well in the Reactivity section in the user manual.

Theres a guy on youtube who wears a white smock and lectures from his office...perhaps he can clear that up for you...if you can get a hold of him.

What’s the chances of there being a roll of quarters like that in the ground?  Seems like an unrealistic test to me.  

I would have thought the same thing until...Just after receiving the Equinox in March of 2018, I was thrown a going away party by the organization I had been working for. Someone knew I metal detected, so they told me they buried 5 rolls of quarters out in the grassy field on the property as a gift. Each roll was put into a plastic bag before being buried. They gave me the general location, but for the life of me I couldn't find any of them. I assumed it would hit it loud and clear. The person who buried the rolls had to show me the 5 locations within a few feet in order for me to be able to put the pieces together and find each one. They had only split the ground with a shovel and closed up the ground around the rolls, only putting the coins about 4 inches down. I felt very humbled that I was unable to find them. At least now I know why it wasn't working.
