Was able to do some nugget hunting with the Deus2 this weekend, your right about it being a little weak on the SMALL gold. Been nugget hunting for 25years, the GoldMaster was awesome on small gold, the Equinox 800 does very well (almost as good as the Monster) but the Nox is coming up a tad short.
@@RelicsRings I've just got a deus 2, not been out with it yet. I know , in a smallish area, where there's a lost pendant.. 18ct gold , holding a half carat diamond, so quite small... I've been to a jewellery shop with my equinox 600 and tested it with a similar pendant, but it didn't pick it up. That was one of the reasons for getting a deus. I'm going to go back to the shop and test the deus before go looking for the lost pendant.. After seeing your video I'm confident it will pick it up. Thanks again.
@@danielt879 Since the Equinox 600 doesn't have the gold mode, the Deus 2 should in theory be more sensitive if you run it in gold field. If you had the Equinox 800, I find it is more sensitive to small gold than the Deus 2 when running them both in gold modes.
Pretty dam good to find that flake. Impressive find for the Deus II 👍

Oh ya, give a 4 prong or potato rake a try for raking the piles. They work great for getting the rocks out & breaking up the pile
Boom 💥 Congrats!! Thanks for sharing your settings.
Thanks
Nice!
Well done.. the deus can definitely find small bits of gold.. Good to know
Thanks, yes it can find some small bits.

@@RelicsRings Thank you very much, that's what I'm hoping 🙏 😀
You finally got gold with the Deus 2 Congrats
Thanks just needed to get over some.
You should generally swing the Deus 2 faster than others
Sweet. Have you used the new version 2.0?
Just tried a few days ago. Fro.what I can tell it works pretty good.
@@RelicsRings thank you! I'm going to try rye patch this winter
Good job!
Not the best for tiny nuggets.
Which one you think is best for tiny nugets?
