I only had data on silver coins for this test on the D2.. The "air test" was done by one of CB's friends and he did Not test any gold, I was using his test as a standard for the two machines I use (Excal & AQ) ,.... on silver coins. I do have two friends with D2's, a 9 and 11 inch coils. It will be interesting to see the results on gold which I should have by the end of the summer, with video. If I were in the market for a water machine I would highly recommend the D2, for the machines I have take to many modifications to match the D2's performance, over all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmnz Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Hi all - second hunt, this time fully underwater, again in the hunted out beach. Just a few coins, pretty deep, and then out in around 3m of water I found two very old bottles / moved them as there was a faint target in dive mode (modded to pitch tones) and a very old 18ct popped out of a crevice! Nice ring and pretty old. I ran the aerial cable through the shaft to tidy that up. Hate the shaft - it’s horrible; so just need a nice mount for an excal straight shaft with some strength. I have the 11 inch coil, starting to think the 9 would be best for diving, but overall, a good day. Would love to find the connector so can repurpose my equinox grey ghosts….. Machine was quiet, stable in water. Bone phones really ‘dig in’ under the dive hood, so ended up wearing two hoods with the bone phones in between. more updates to come Dale 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmnz Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Ps - am beginning to like the D2 - I am unsure about the depth, but sometimes just the ability to modify the sounds to make them easier to hear when diving is all you need. There is a lot of noise, confusion and bubbles (and with the nemo, rattle of the compressor) so a decent ‘pitch tone’ makes me focus on targets I may have otherwise missed? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I will have to look thru my notes but I had a site you could buy the fitting and cable needed for the head phones, may take me a few days but I will post the link. Carolina made his own phones for the D2, maybe he will chime in... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem plenty loud and you can drive them louder with the 'bone conductor setting' on the Deus 2 (probably also ok on the standard setting at v9). Will post photos 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
