    3 of us went to hunt a old school site that has been pounded to death. They both hunted with equinoxes and I had my Deus 2. They each found a wheat penny. I found 3 IH,s, 2 wheats, eagle button and silver ring. Coming from being a equinox user to the Deus 2 I could not be happier I made the jump. Love it.

    Nice vid. Deus 2 on the way to me. I do often hunt colonial in iron. The Nox has been good company the last 5 years. I’ve used all kinds of detectors since 1986 and the cream of todays detectors are the great unmaskers. The Nox has located Spanish silvers, British, state & federal coppers and more at these sites. I will put the D2 through the nastiest carpets of iron at these sites, I know there is more.

    I traded in all my detectors and got the D2 because my previous ones (MX Sport was newest) were all heavy for me and my medical condition and I wanted a good multi frequency machine for salt water beaches and lightweight. I finally got out, twice, detecting again after a year and a half and my arm was great. my body gave out before my arm. Now I just need to research and line up more permissions for the fall/winter/spring. thank you for the great information and videos.

Still yanking good targets out of the dirt, no problems. Don't have hot dirt or use FT much anymore due to the square tones. Really like it in 5 tones, square, with tone breaks.

    Good Hunt! I have been hunting in a lot of modern trash, I really enjoy using sensitive full tones with Square. It hasn’t taken long for me to get a grip on how Square full tones communicates with some tones warbling, clipping or starting and finishing abruptly. I can just about tell when something is round, or at least I think I can.
    When I’m getting into the big lawn fields, I love fast, also with full square tones. Pitch is great too. Fast has had no problem finding minuscule little pieces of tinfoil and canslaw. But that just means I’m also finding the micro jewelry. It’s already happened plenty of times. Depending on the situation and the feedback, I may adjust silencer and reactivity but half of the time I really don’t need to make too many adjustments. I am loving this instrument and pulling up tons of coins in areas I have already scrutinized with my deus 1 and my equinox. This unit is spooky😆. Thanks for the fun and peaceful video

Geez it took a long time to figure that out though. It interesting how changing the silencer from 0 to 3 isn’t really affecting coins much, at least not in the soil I’m testing in.

      Yeah if it jumps 3 or 4 I probably wouldn't dig it and I'm also going to check it with the XY screen as well. That usually seals the deal on a dig or no dig situation unless its really deep. In that case, I will always dig because some of those deep silver coins don't come up with a solid number.

      Hey Mike so I have both but find myself picking up the Deus II more than the Legend. But I'm very familiar with the Deus. I have more time on the machine than I do with the legend. I think the Legend has a lot to offer for the price and there is a mountain of debate whether its just as good as an Equinox or Deus II. With the new update they came out with version 1.08 made the Legend more competitive for sure but now I think its more complicated to navigate than the Deus is but thats my opinion. I'm sure if I picked up the Legend more I would feel different.

    • @MentalMetal

      Hey Mike, I'm not going to be able to answer your question yet. I don't have enough time on the Legend to make a good judgement. I'm very familiar with both the original Deus and Deus II so I'm biased. I was never much of a fan of the Nox until I used one and its performance sold me but I never like the way it felt. The Legend is built better than the Nox and you get more for your money. If I told you to go with the D2 over the Legend I would only be giving you biased information. Once I get more time on the Legend with this new update I should be able to tell. Sorry I just don't feel good leading you one way or another. It all comes down to how you intend to hunt with the machine as well and if weight of the machine matters and so on.

      Have to keep plugging away at the channel it took a couple of years to get some decent viewers for me. I'm no superstar but occasionally it works out with a good video at time. To answer your question about the difference between the 2, I would say the biggest items that brought me back is a better, quieter, and more stable machine. Making it 100% waterproof was something else we have been asking for. They are still both complicated machines but once you unlock some of the magic they will compete if not outdo most of the machine on the market in the right conditions.

    • @MentalMetal
      @MentalMetal  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Don't get your nickers in a bunch my friend. It was something I was trying out/testing but you are wrong, base program was Park and it was 5 tones but if you know how to use it then you would know that by setting the 1st 2 tone breaks down to 100 hz then you really only have a 3 tone program if you don't count the iron sound. But you would also know that if you did that you would be missing a bunch of GOOD targets. But if you raise the 2nd tone break to something like 400 hz then you can hear those other signals. I disagree with your 3 reactivity opinion. The D2 is super fast and you will hardly ever need anything above 2.5. Thanks for the passive aggressive comment though. Just a simple question or two would have been a better approach but you did get my attention. Now I'll go back and read the manual and check out your how to videos on the D2 on
      your channel since I don't know what I'm doing. 🤣
