New Deus2 Packs Coming.....

[brys]

i    have the ws6 mounted in the wrist strap  sometimes  but no sound

[palzynski]

Received my D2 WS6 pack yesterday ( 9" coil + WS6 wireless headphones : total 750€ ).

The WS6 is easy to start and use . The coil + shaft is ultra light , 725g with the S-telescopic shaft coming from my D1.

The 9" FMF coil itself weighs 330g ( without coil cover ), much lighter than the 11" ( 420g ).

I did a few depth tests , it goes deep , quite impressive , almost as deep as the 11" and much deeper than my D1 9X6 HF .

Sounds very good ,first outings in the field planned for next week ...

 

1. The 9 FMF coil mounted on a S telescopic Lite shaft :

 

2. The W6 with my current settings : SENSITIVE MODE , 5 TONES , SQUARE AUDIO :

 

3.     9" FMF coil + shaft  , only 725g ! :

That's approaching Legend price-range?

Thanks for posting Alain.

I too have a Sensitive, 5 tone, Square Wave audio user profile setup for my Deus 2 Lite

My Deus 2 used remote control and the underwater accessories and charging cable for it sold on Ebay in less 3 hours!!!!  Now I am happy and can justify keeping both the Legend and Deus 2 Lite since they are very good detectors and very fun to use.

As Chuck noted, this Deus 2 Lite setup is in the Legend/Equinox 600 price range and with the neoprene stem mount and audio adapter it makes for a highly versatile land and shallow water simultaneous multi frequency detector that really works well even in high iron mineralization. Just don't gold prospect with it yet.......the Legend or Equinox 800 are far better for that task.

Alain, there is so little written about the WS6 at least in English. 

I have a few questions. 

How many user profiles are available and can I have multiple user profiles per program or only one....like can I have two or more profiles based on program 1 General for instance?

Also, it appears that one of the features missing on at least my WS6 besides the XY screen is the ability to turn the notch feature OFF. Mine has the option for 00-00 but not to turn it OFF which I would prefer. Maybe I am missing a settings step somewhere.

Otherwise, there are somethings that I really like better on the WS6 than the big remote besides just the weight. For me, it is much easier to navigate, set notches, tone breaks and tone pitch, the enter pinpoint mode button and the exit pinpoint mode are the same button, etc.

After using the remote for two months, I will definitely miss the really nice rubber buttons and easy to see screen. However, I just didn't need its waterproofing at all.

XP was very accommodating for users who won't be diving or fully submerging their Deus 2. The greatly expanded features included with the standalone WS6 and the screen improvements are really fantastic and make a Deus 2 Lite much more than just a second rate alternative with very limited features like one found comparing the original Deus remote to the WS4 module.

Yes 750€ ( or 850 if you add a shaft )  is a very good price for such a performing machine, knowing that almost all the RC settings are available on the WS6. 

The balance with the 9" is excellent . Having no CB on the shaft saves around a pound which makes a big ergonomy difference with the competitors.

Hi Jeff,

Concerning the number of user profiles the can be saved, I imagine it is the same as with the RC then 12 , but I have not tried this , and I dont know if several profiles based on the same program can be saved too ...

The same for the notch feature to OFF ... I dont know sorry , I am not a great settings specialist 🙂..  

Actually I always use the Deus ( D2 or D1 ) factory programs with very few changes , because the D2 ( or D1 ) modes are perfectly set for my local French detecting conditions ( low mineralization , high iron trash , coin/relic hunting ).  For example I have just changed the number of tones and the audio ( from PWM to SQUARE ) on the D2.  Doing only a few changes makes easy to recreate a program if it is lost or accidentally erased btw ...

You did a good choice keeping your D2 WS4 "Lite" .  I cant wait to use it in the field , next week I hope , I will try to post my reports ...

Nice !!! Just a reminder, don’t run that coil without the coil cover. Warranty states if any scratches on the bottom of coil are observed, warranty is void.

I never use coil covers to save weight/balance . I never had a a coil issue since I use XP ( 2007 ) then during 15 years ...

I too have never used a coil cover on any machine until now. I am only quoting the warranty section on the coil in the Deus ll manual. At the cost of this coil, I will not give them an opportunity to refuse replacement due to a coil cover. Read the manual.
