I don't understand, are you saying that having the silencer on 3 
increases the possibility of digging good targets between the iron??
I've always known the opposite in the middle of the iron the silencer must be set to 0!

This is true. Silencer at 0 helps to hear and dig out iron-hidden targets. I am sure that after silencer on 3 you will find many more useful targets.

Unfortunately, XP has set silencer from 2 and above in almost all land programs. For novice users, this may be a good thing. Detector will be more friendly and leave quite a few targets for the more experienced and hardworking ?

At 0 and 1, the silencer is wide open and helps you find some good targets in the middle of iron but you have to dig a lot !

at 3 and more, the silencer transform some false signals from iron to pure iron signal so it's more comfortable if you have plenty of little iron.

on the V1.0, the silencer is a little more effective at high values if I remember well so to not change too much the program 3, XP decided to change from old silencer at 2 to new silencer at 3 (as I understand)

is it more clear this way ? tell me ?

I'm predominantly a beach hunter and hunt some beaches with a ton of iron, which i believe is from the old 1800s piers. Version 0.71 had iron falsing on this large iron all over the place but the falsing came in around 78-86 on the TID. Sometimes rotating around it would give me iron but sometimes not. Because of the volume of iron, luterally thousands of pieces, i used to have a custom program to notch out that 78-86 TID range. Notching this out, i was able to pull 40 or so silvercoins from the iron by looking for TIDs 88 and up. With 1.0 and 1.1 the iron falsing at two of my beaches now comes in from 90-99, effectively making it impossible to notch out. The updates also make it dang near impossible to detect these areas with any reasonable speed because youre constantly stopping on every piece of iron because it reads in the range that coins read. In the past when not notching out iron falsing i could discriminate in my brain based on the TID and kerp moving when anything in the 80s popped up.  This effectively killed two beaches for me with 1.0 and 1.1.

Ive left it installed so i can give it a fair shot for a few weeks. Just got my ws6 puck back from getting repairs so i can get pmw audio now instead of the boners limiting me to square audio, which i despise. Before the ws6s broke, i was really unhappy with the audio changes but also had a major head cold so it could have been that. Im giving it this last weekend before reverting back to 0.71. I had zero complaints about 0.71 and really found it to be perfect for all my needs. No use suffering through some of the new issues when im mainly a beach hunter. I wish i could load 1.1 on the ws6 and switch over to it here and there when away from the beach in order to give it a fair shot.  Or if we could select which version to run at startup ?

What about the gold in this range?

As a pure beach hunter, myself. If the Deus update would put all iron falsing 90-99 I would consider this the biggest gift EVER! 
This would mean I could confidently pass iron and retrieve almost all gold targets. Not trying to be critical here but 40 silver coins that come out of the ocean is not worth squat. There is no collector value of silver out of salt water. One gold ring removal would crush what 40 silver coins are worth.

I would seriously notch out this "new" iron range and concentrate on lower numbers. Am curious to see what other beach hunters are seeing for iron falsing.

The thing is, i enjoy finding old coins. Im not just a ring hunter, i really like old relics and coins. I dont sell any of my rings, i dont care about the money, i just love the history, the challenge and being outdoors.

I have been struggling to find detecting time so I haven’t felt the need to update from .71 - am I missing anything awesome?  I remember reading you can use chrome and I have a Chromebook laptop, am I correct that I can update using that?  And you have to email XP in order to log in?  Sorry guys, I’m a little behind.

Yes, Chrome and your Chromebook should work. XP set up their own server to do the V1.0 & V1.1 updates, so you'll have to go to the XP website. This link will show you everything you need to know about the new features and how to up date. Note: you will need to create a new log-in ID on their site and then do the update.

If you take the time to read the first post of this thread it includes detailed information on the new features and bug fixes provided by the update and includes the link CPT_GhostLight re-posted above that provides the instructions on how to install the update.  Please start there, and then if you have further questions, post them.

Thanks Chase, thanks ghostlight. 
I’ll check it out. I’m not a big watcher of MD videos but I’ve been watching The Scottish Detectorist (who By the way uses a Deus 2) and I’m ready to pack up my belongings and move to the land of my grandparents, great aunts and uncles. Well, maybe ? I’ll just go for a week or two. I will hit full retirement age this October- and even though I’m not retiring for another 10 years ( assuming my good health continues) I intend to actually use my bloody vacation time for actual vacations, lol
