I've been over small areas at two sites since getting it that I had hit hard with the 9" coil. Three 9+" deep silver US dimes already in two short hunts. It hasn't injured me yet!!!!! Thanks? Thanks for the vote of confidence, Jeff. ? I'm surprised at the separation I see with it even at lower reactivity, yeah it may not be great in a stubble field but it's pretty awesome everywhere else and hits insanely deep on dimes and quarters on the beach with little to no change in ID. I've been saying all along the D2 with SteveG's shaft and the 13" is lighter than a Nox 600 with a 10x5. ? Just curious, what IDs did you get on your dimes? I usually get 88-90 even on the really deep ones (clad) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually get 88-90 even on the really deep ones (clad) With the iron mineralization here the IDs on these three deep dimes were 88 to 96 with a bit of audio degradation running audio response at 4 and reactivity at 2. I had my Legend with me too and it had similar slightly spread out VDIs on two of the three with no response on the third one using its 11" coil probably because that third one was on edge. I did lots of testing with the Equinox 900 at these areas and by comparison it had target IDs of 68 to 99 on 4" deep dimes..........I can only imagine what its IDs would have been on these much deeper ones. Sorry to hijack this Deus 2 V2.0 update/WS6 Master pinpoint issue topic. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenson Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Well starting to sound like it's better to hold off on the V 2 update. Beach hunting is just around to corner for me and if the beach programs aren't working like they did in 1.11, then no sense in updating. Hope they get a fix soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand your concern but nothing posted previously really is an issue unless you're using the WS-6 Master rig or plan to use magnetic accept instead of reject like I was doing. ? I have not tested that on the D2 remote yet. Jeff's tests show that gold detection is improved, I think that prospect (pun intended) is a mitigating factor for upgrading. ? Most people use the WS6 Master for relic hunting, I'm surprised I'm the only kook that uses it at the beach ? No reports of any issues with the remote so far! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chase Goldman Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Bob - When you get a chance, confirm whether magnetic reject is affected on the remote so I can post a comprehensive bug/issues list for Update 2.0 in the pinned thread on consolidated D2 update issues. Thanks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Too hot to get out there today, but I'll hit my tiny test beach tomorrow and post results in your thread. It concerns me because it was literally the difference between silver/no silver on the big beach recently but that might be a coincidence. ? On the WS6 it was quiet in V1.1, but for small "pips" presumably from my cell phone searching for a signal. In V2 it's a very goblin like howl, perfect for Halloween ?, interspersed with "26" IDs. In Beach Sensitive particularly, pinpointer did not work on either version. We now have 3 corroborating instances of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I would have thought a bug fix update like this would have been tested for months, seeing it's been a very long time between updates how would such a glaringly obvious bug be there with the pinpoint. I would guess the group of people testing the update just not use basic functionally of the detector in the testing? This is all so weird. Once in the publics hands the bugs show their faces almost immediately. When testing software, the idea is you test every function, scroll through the menus and try out everything to ensure it's working before release, just basic testing and it was missed. Just when I started to be swayed into buying a Deus 2 this pops up and drops a lot of confidence. I also wonder how the increased gold sensitivity will work when the nuggets are in the ground, so far air test results have improved but increasing the sensitivity of the detector may yet cause in ground performance to decrease. I'll continue to sit on the sidelines and see how it all pans out before jumping onboard, doesn't give much confidence when the pinpoint bug has existed since early versions but now has got even worse with an update. I look forward to hearing how the gold mode improvements play out in the real world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I will hypothesize that the main reason for the V2.0 update was to provide the Remote with a program and compatibility with the Xtreme Hunter and they used that as a chance to bundle in the fix for the Goldfield program. I just tested mine and can confirm that all factory and custom programs on the Remote work normally with the pinpoint function. Also Magnetic Accept and Reject seem to function normally, although I'm not on a salt water beach to try that out properly. I will hook up my WS6 Master setup and test it shortly. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPT_GhostLight Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Just tested my WS6 Master setup with V2.0 and can confirm that the Pinpoint mode does not work in Subtractive Programs: 1-General, 9-Relic, 10-Diving, 11-Beach, & 12-Beach Sens. The button push shows the Pinpoint screen, but there is no visual indicator change or sound when a target is moved near the coil. Pairing of all headphones, coils, and MI-6 works in all programs and the MI-6 works in all programs. I'm not near any salt water beaches so I cannot properly test Magnetic Accept/Reject, although it did make a backround noise difference on the Remote in the Beach, Beach Sens, and Dive programs , but does not appear to make any difference in those programs on the WS6 in V2.0. I never used those programs with the WS6 in V1.1, so I don't know if the reported issues were pre-existing, except what F350 reported. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
