Күн бұрын

Hey guys and gals I have the new XP DEUS II and I've been doing a lot testing with it but I wanted to create a few simple how-to videos to help folks who are new to the Deus II get up and running quickly without wasting a lot time 2nd guessing their settings etc. The Deus II works really well out of the box so why mess around too much with it? If you take the time and learn the things I'm going to show you in the next few videos, you will enjoy using the Deus II as much as I have. Its turning out to be an amazing machine and I think folks like yourself are really going to like it. In this video we are going over how to Ground Balance or what they call a Ground Grab, how-to Pinpoint, and how-to execute a frequency scan also known as a Noise Cancel.

Good video. I thinking of getting a XP Deus 2. I have a friend who just picked one up and he is impressed because it supposedly can see coin, relics and gold while eliminating the trash around those things. I’ve got a GPX 5000, a SDC 2300, equinox 800, Gold Monster 1000 and a Whites GMT. Might add one of these to my arsenal.

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

I have the GPX 4500, Equinox 800, Legend, CTX 3030, original Deus and the Deus II is my go to machine right now. I just love the way it swings and operates. They made so many great improvements from the original.

Great video showing the short cuts. Just curious, do you need to find clean ground before you do a ground grab like the minelab machines? Most of my sites have little to no clean ground

It will help peak the performance of the machine. If you can find clean ground do it there.

hi from Scotland .. NOISE CANCEL .. should I pointing the coil say at the powerlines or other detectors when doing a noise cancel .. thanks

@MentalMetal 4 ай бұрын

I would point it (waist level) towards the powerlines or whatever might be causing EMI, otherwise just lift it off the ground waist high and do the noise cancel.

@WiscoDetect 2 жыл бұрын

Do you need to hold the deus 2 in the air like the nox when doing the noise cancel or frequency shift?

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

There is no mention of it in manual, you can try it either way and see if it makes a difference. I doubt it will.

Hey Scott, the end of week number one with my Deus 2. Primarily a beach hunter here, and I have a question for you, which you may have mentioned in your video, so please excuse me if you did cover this. When I'm moving from wet sand to dry or from dry to wet sand, do you recommend repeating the Ground Balance and Frequency Scan? Can't thank you enough, as a new user, for your videos! 👍

Doug, I don't think you need to unless the machine is acting up. I never did and the machine ran quiet. Happy you are getting something out of the videos.

You have control of the volume inside the Remote under your volume settings and you can also lower your headphone volume directly on the headphones.

How do you find the weight? I'll be going from a nox 600 with the 11in coil to the xp with the 9in, the nox is cramping my hands up due to the weight

@MentalMetal Жыл бұрын

You can find the weight in the tech specs and in the owners manual. It weighs about 1.65 lbs starting out. Add the control box and a bigger coil then you are talking just over 2 lbs.

have been looking at the XP Deus I / II for ages, only thing that keeps puts me of them is the sealed in battery life span in them have read many a time the Deus is capable of only 3-4 operation hours instead of 11-12 as from new

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

3-4 hours! Friend where are you getting your information? For the D2 here are the facts, you can get up to 30h out of the remote, the WS6 headphones are good for 14H, the coil fully charged will get you 12hours but only 8 if you are using Prog 6 Deep HC. If you use the coil in mono frequency you can get anywhere from 10-20 hours. Hope that helps.

Is there a master reset to reset the controller to factory settings?

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

No, not as of .71 update. But your settings aren't saved unless you save them off to one of the empty 12 slots. So you can't really mess it up too much. Some of basic settings like audio level etc. will save but most of them go back to default when power on the Deus II. You can redo the update and that will probably do a reset for you if you really want to reset it.

I don't think I ever said that in the video my friend but to be 100% honest I would take the original Deus over the Nox for relics. I don't have enough hours on the D2 to make that determination just yet. However, after a coin hunt I did yesterday we could be heading that way.
