CPT_GhostLight Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 I look at it this way, XP has been working on the 2-box rig for a while. If that is finally off of their plate, surely a 10x5" D2 coil would be the next thing and also a very easy build for them. They already have the formfactor from the D1. It doesn't have to be waterproof (although that would be preferable) and we all know they will sell a ton of 10x5 coils. I think they know all this. ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Their home market is Europe, and selling the dream of finding a hoard a two box like above is the perfect addition to that, they'll probably sell quite well in Europe. Good on XP for doing something different too, providing something that wasn't readily available and different, better than a clone product of another competitor. It would be awesome if they did do something like a PI coil for the Deus 2, I can't imagine it would be able to be powered in the same way though so it may not be something we ever see. The small elliptical and a firmware update to enhance small gold capabilities and the Deus 2 would become very appealing for me, add to that a large 15x12 or 17x13" deep coil and I'd be in line to buy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
☠ Cipher Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 I see no reason existing Deus 1 coils couldn’t be made to work with the Deus 2 remote. If the Hoard Hunter, originally intended for the Deus 1 remote, will now work for only the Deus 2 remote, this suggests interchangeability that is inexplicably being held back. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to operate the old HF coils on the Deus 2? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that would be nice Cipher,However they would be shooting themselves in the foot in terms of a ton of new coil sales you do make some good points though.

Might make me buy one though, but for now still happy with the ORX for D-II type tasks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for those who wanted to go deeper, that would do it, but who wants to dig 4 foot deep holes? You cache and horde hunters may be getting your wish! ? 4 foot deep hole can get pretty damn exciting on an early colonial settlement, even better, in a Civil War camp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got that right! Or a gold rush rush era camp or fur trade site or western stage stop or ghost town and the list goes on and on.Big iron etc often lead to even bigger surprises.
