My 1 franc 9g nickel displays a 70 VDI while the smaller coins displays around 50 . Then it is not a matter of conductivity . If you look for buttons you should do tests with buttons . Have you done such tests ? Anyway missing modern nickels coins is not a big deal for me , I prefer older stuff like the coin below ? ? that I just found 2 hours ago with the D2 / SENSITIVE mode ( I will give more details in my "Testing the Deus2 11" thread later ) .... A few pics : A very nice 5 CENTIMES 1862 copper coin found 2 hours ago in a wood : I'm definitely not interested in modern nickels. But modern nickels,older nickels, some gold rings and some buttons all produce the same ID, around 59 to 62. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copper bronze silver alu etc produces a good signal at depth from what I have seen during my D2 tests . Nickels seem to be an exception for some reason ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion, I tried it in my test garden and the audio report was a little soft on my coins, even with the audio response turned up. I tried Deus mono tonight in my garden. It is fairly stable and gave a good response on all my coins in a 5 tone program. Was switching between 17 to 25 khz. The only problem is that it gave a very high ID on the nickel. I hate to even post this but it was giving a good audio response 5 to 6 inches above an 11" quarter. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good response on a 16”quarter is great to hear. was the ID of the quarter accurate as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion prog 2 is the best on D2 for low conductors. I did an own program based on prog. 2 but with pitch tone because of high mineralization. And ground stabilizer 1 because of better depth. In my opinion prog 2, in 3 tones, is the best on little targets and low conductors. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While testing in mono sometime there was no ID, this is on deep coins. For accurate ID, The Deep HC program is the best I have ever seen on deeper coins on any detector. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are nickel's worth the same coming out of the ground 20 years ago as now........nothing. Just food for thought. Usually they are toast but the problem is if it's not hitting nickels well then what else is it missing? lots of good targets in these ranges...it's good to hear that the detector is liked by most of you who are using it and I am happy to hear that it's performing well in iron like the Deus 1 good enough reason to get one...plus it works well at the beach so it seems...good stuff... now if they can fix some of the stuff with the screen I may just squeeze off the shot. strick 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that the machine won't hit nickels, it's just that when using a 3, 4 or 5 tone program the deeper nickels at 11 inches or so sound terrible. Like it's trying to call it iron and a nonferrous low conductor at the same time. But the equinox IDs it and sounds good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
