fishersari Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 I wonder if later on XP will offer new Deus2 with HF2 coil.. if that happen and you can choose only one what would it be? a deus 2 with 9' coil or deus 2 with hf coil 🙂 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28401-which-one/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
F350Platinum Posted May 19 Share Posted May 19 It's only speculation at this point, but it seems to me that the HF2 combo would probably be the best bet, due to its wider range of capability. Under the new Beta software, the 9" round coil did not get much increased functionality. I have an Equinox 600, and when a 9.5x5" elliptical came out for it I put it on and never took it off. Personally I prefer an elliptical coil to a round one. I have little doubt that XP has thought this one out, and the HF2 will prove to be a winner. 🤔 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28401-which-one/#findComment-297052 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jeff McClendon Posted May 19 Popular Post Share Posted May 19 In the past, the only XP detector that could be purchased with just an HF elliptical or HF round coil was the XP ORX. For a Deus 1 purchase, you had to choose a black coil as the stock included coil and the HF coils were an additional accessory. XP have repeatedly said that they will not make a 9" round HF2 coil for Deus 2. XP feels like the original 9" FMF coil is already too much like the original HF 9" round coil. This was repeated again recently during Southern Relic Adventure's live stream with three XP employees. For me anyway, that 9" round HF coil was the only coil I really needed for my Deus 1 and ORX. With Deus 2, I would want more options. The HF2 elliptical is going to be very limited as far as overall depth no matter how powerful it is. It's just physics in the end and coil size matters. So, I would not expect XP to offer a Deus 2 package with just the HF2 coil as the only coil included. If I was buying a Deus 2 today, I would want a 9" or 11" coil along with the HF2 elliptical which I would have to buy as an accessory coil. 11 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28401-which-one/#findComment-297058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirtshark Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I don't think I am going to be using the standard 9 inch coil very much once I get the hf2. That being said will xp sell the d2 with the hf2 coil? Prolly not for a while. Just guessing.  1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28401-which-one/#findComment-297320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
