    Here I Am Lying In A Hospital Bed......

    John, I'm guessing that's the helipad outside the hospital. It's best not to go for rides in the medivac helicopter, usually means that things are not good. Must've been a terrible case of cabin fever for them to take out your gall bladder. Sounds like they're taking good care of you. Get...

    Folks, there was/is the DEUS and now the DEUS II.

    Mudwhale, I think you're onto something here, it should be the Deus to end all Deus'. :thumbup: Rich

    DEUS I CALLING MONTE...

    I'm pretty sure calabash's video wasn't intended to stay there forever. It was brief. Think it was intended for a limited audience. Rich -

    Digging with dinosaurs....

    Ya, me too. My phone just pinged with a National Weather Service advisory for a Snow Squall Warning - white out conditions. No detecting where i am. As for cabin fever, getting there. Winter is just starting to set in hard. Time to catch up on some other stuff while i wait for the shipping...

    Digging with dinosaurs....

    Actually, the original Racer is mostly called the Red Racer by those who have them due to the color of the battery/control box. FWIW. Don't recall it ever being called the racer 1 either. Jr's and Sr's, 1's and 2's. Need to have some way to make it clear about the subject of a conversation. If...

    Folks, there was/is the DEUS and now the DEUS II.

    Gregg, you must be bored for sure. Winter, frozen ground, the fall rush of work is past. If you're really bored, send Calabash one of your spare CoRe's with your settings and the OOR coil and let him mess with it in his hard hit relic patch around that old home. As for the headline of this...

    While I (patiently) wait for my Deus II

    i hope your decision to move completely over to the Deus 2 works out well for you. From what I'm seeing, Deus 2 has all performance of my 800, plus the separation ability of the Deus 1, plus a level of waterproofness inline with a full out diving detector (20M). For me, only time in field will...

    Is the Deus II fast?

    LOL, I know that Del, it was figuratively speaking. Monte has always talked about having his selection of detectors ready to go on the front and back seats of his trunk/van/car - along with totes full of accessory coils for any needed quick change. And I'm sure he's reading this murmuring my...

    Is the Deus II fast?

    Hey Calabash, i think Monte is going to have a difficult time parting with some of those old favorites of his; he has a lot of fond memories tied to them from the old ghost towns out this way. Super trashy - massive amounts of decomposing tin along with the thousands of square nails from the...

    Deus 2 Pre Order

    I believe XP sent Calabash the Deus 2 to test and evaluate. As for arriving on my porch, I'm not expecting anything before early January and there is always the unknown arrival time of shipping anything anywhere, whether completed product or parts. Who would have thought there would be such...

    Advice Please

    Hey Steve, in talking to my "local" dealer, there are only 2 versions currently available, others I suspect will follow. Both versions have the WS5 back phones, the Deus 2 controller and your choice is either the 9" FMF or 11" FMF coil. I have a Deus 1 with back phones, controller and both...

    Is the Deus II fast?

    Del, In some ways, we all get caught up and enthused about 'progress'. I do for sure. But I am reluctant to cast aside things that have been working well for me. Over the years of detecting, I've accumulated my own preferences for search rod styles, buttons, tones, toggle switches, display...

    Excited about XP Deus II

    Hey Dan, I've been a big FBS guy since they were first introduced way back when. That said, i've been sporting an 800 and Deus the last few years. My shoulder thanks me for retiring from my etrac. Lots of fond memories there. Lots of great finds. The new Deus 2 is showing nicely. I really...

    Is the Deus II fast?

    Monte, you're buying a Deus 2? And Adding that to the other new SMF coming out right now? You and I both know those are a poor (At best) fit for your personal preferences and hunting style. Knowing your feelings about SMF, I am stunned to see you standing in queue to buy them. Go figure. i...

    Another Mr Blackwell Deus 2 intro video

    Gary's videos have been great and very well done. Watched many related to the Deus 1.

    XP Deus II First Scuba Dive... Large Cent Found..

    Nice demo Calabash . . that's some chill water. Nice find with the large cent and button. A few questions for you when you get a little time. Did the Deus 2 search rod set up easily for the shortened reach used when diving? Any hassles with the underwater connection? How were the bone...

    Oldest Buff plus a Tax token.

    OCH, Buff's are always a nice find in my book, one of my favorites. And one with a pretty sharp date from the teens is even better. Did I mention I really dislike sales tax tokens! A small, difficult target that often makes me think I may have found some much better. At least they are a good...

    Some Old Relics and Silver

    Dave, Nice to see someone getting out this summer. Super dry in my area. Looks like you and the Etrac are totally in tune. Still sporting the NEL? Thanks for the post and awesome pics. Rich

    What makes your metal detector good? How to become a better detectorist? Do you care?

    Why do people buy $1000 detectors (or $6k or $9k) and don't really learn how to use them? Social media pressure / Social pressure. Videos, like those on YouTube, demonstrate how great certain detectors perform in the hands of a skilled detectorist and we've learned from an early age that if...
