By popular demand I was asked by several of you to go over the X&Y Display. Your wish is my command. Here it is. IMO this feature is one of the best features that is included in the Deus II but it was also in the original Deus. Sorry ORX users this feature is not available to you. I'll walk you through how to find the X&Y display, enable it, and take advantage of the "Zoom" feature which I discovered myself in the video. We are learning this machine together so join us and get the most out of this new XP metal detector called the Deus II.

When hunting in heavy Iron, is the only way u can cut out the iron so mostly good targets come in , I used to like the horse shoe feature on the nox 800 , was very easy to silence the iron on the nox

@MentalMetal 3 ай бұрын

Silencer is the setting to cut out iron. The higher you increase the number the more it cancels out iron. But you have to find a good balance otherwise you will lose other targets and/or lose depth. I never go higher than 3.

Hope XP gives us an opportunity to get rid of all the over info on top. Maybe a VDI in one of the corners. The XY is a bit cropped and crowded.

I’ve had the D2 for a few weeks now and haven’t been able to get any deep targets other than big iron and aluminum. I took it to a favorite spot of mine where I dig 8 to 9 inch IHC’s, barbers and even a Morgan with the nox 800 and it just sounds like a machine gun when I open it up, not emi just an old 1800’s fairgrounds site that moved in about 1908. It bangs on shallow stuff, targets no deeper than about 5 inches The horseshoe for depth I’ve figured out but a quick switch button to go to xy without all the button pushing would be handy. I will say I have pulled a couple of silvers with it but they could have been found with any machine only about 3 inches deep Not giving up as I know it’s new and I’m new to deus technology but for now I use it for a while to try and learn a little and it goes back in the truck and nox comes out to seriously detect. I’ve dug more trash in February than I did in a year with the nox. I keep hearing its tonal and man a high tone sounds like a high tone 90% of the time to me so it’s kicking my butt so far. I’m looking forward to a few programs that help. Xy did help a little but I still found it looking good and being fooled more than pleased. I am going to use the zoom 4 next time out. Depth is biggest concern though it’s got to be able to hit deeper than I’m making it go or it will be third backup behind my simplex. 😵‍💫

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

Tony give it some more time, the secret is in the tones. I've been digging some pretty deep coins with in in Park as well as Deep HC. You may need to adjust your silencer and reactivity. Remember, the lower the reactivity the more depth you will get. The D2 is plenty fast even at Reactivity of 1. Also, if you are using full tones you may want to try and knock it down to 3. Just my 2 cents.

@christinebowes2528 Жыл бұрын

Great demonstration. I’m glad I found your channel. I have the Deus 1 and my hubby has bought me Deus 2. I’m back to the beginning learning all over again. In six weeks I’m off to a rally in the UK to search an area that was a Roman settlement. I’m wondering which program should I use as a beginner with this machine.

@MentalMetal Жыл бұрын

If you have the new update, General is a good one to start with but learn Sensitive Full Tones. Ultimately, that program is the one you will want for a lot of conditions. If you are after coins check out the custom coin program I've done.

Gold will be a solid line just like silver. But its not 100%. The XY screen is a tool to use but I wouldn't bet my life on it. I put 2 program back to back where one is using the XY display and other isn't so I can do a quick comparison if I need to check a target.

I was leaning towards the 900 but now because of these videos im SERIOUSLY considering jumping from minelab all together and buying the deus 2. With all that you know now, and if you only owned an equinox 800. Which of the three would you buy?

@MentalMetal Жыл бұрын

Thanks Luke, I like both companies and right now its a toss up between the Manticore and Deus 2 for me. But the 900 is right up there. Don't shut the WS6 Master out of the running. If your budget is tight that thing is just as good as the Deus 2 for a lot less.

@DIG_5050 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Scott, zoom level of 4 is muy bueno. The slope seems to be the key indicator here. So if you can view a lot of the slope, it's a better indicator. Like another commenter below stated, zooming in on the fringe coins might be ideal way to ID them. Another reviewer stated the XY screen lies too, just like VDI. Just like all machines do. So, is the 'Nox going to be your backup detector now?😎

@MentalMetal 2 жыл бұрын

The x&y is def not full proof. I like it cos it gives you additional info to determine if you should dig the target or not. Is the NOX my back up now? I don't just yet. I think the NOX with that 10x5 Coiltek coil is magical. I should know more by summer on what I'm going to do. Right now, its the D2 just because I'm trying to learn it.

Really good video on the XY screen. Found your channel through searches on the D2 and really glad I did. My D2 isn't here yet but you are lowering my learning curve by using and testing your machine as I would. I have a special rope 14k chain I bought years ago that most of all the machines I've owned couldn't hit (best was a gold bug pro)....can't wait to see if the D2 can hit on that chain. If it does, it will be a keeper.

Scott, trying out the XP option out on the beach today for the first time, and I was wondering if you could tell me what percentage do you think of your XP results that show garbage are truly garbage? I would say 98% of what I target on the beach is truly garbage, from my experience prior to using the XY option, so today I am actually passing by a lot of those targets that show up on the XY As garbage. Also, from the XY screen, how do I get back to the main screen? Lol

@MentalMetal Жыл бұрын

Lol Doug you have to go back to the Profile setting and switch it back from there. To answer your % question. I don't really have an answer to that one. I use it as a tool not as an absolute. I would recommend setting 2 programs back to back one using the XY and the other one without it. As you come across a target you think is trash, check both programs to get an idea of how accurate the XY display really is.
