    wish i had not tried to change the battery in my x 35 coil

    That's really interesting, my 9" coil was an early one (If I remember correctly a 2014 purchase) and it didn't have any adhesive of any kind holding the battery. The battery in my coil was only sandwiched in foam (still is, I didn't add adhesive when I re-assembled it), easy peasy. The...

    wish i had not tried to change the battery in my x 35 coil

    I changed the battery in my D1 coil. There was no glue of any kind in the coil battery compartment. That glue would concern me about doing my MF coil on the D2 in the future. That said, there may be a solvent you could use that would soften the glue without damaging the plug/circuit board...

    Has another sent in mutilated coins to the mint recently ???

    Wasn't shipping more costly than the value of the coins?

    The art of plug cutting a thing of the past??

    I agree DigDog, I don't understand the stubborn insistence of using relic shovel use in a public park or sports field. When using a relic shovel, one still has to kneel down to retrieve the target and seat the plug. It's not that a person can't cut a nice plug with one, it's the optics. One...

    Good Service

    I had to send both Garrett pinpointers I've owned in for repairs. One of them failed twice, one failed while still under warranty. That's a pretty poor track record. I've used a whites TRX for the last 4-5 years without a single problem. When a tool doesn't need service, that's the kind of...

    Upgrade to the Deus 2?

    Yes, I'm on the second charge clip for my D1. The first broke in half. However, it did last for around 1000 charges. As far as the foot, I never had an issue with it since I don't use it. I lay the detector on its side when I kneel to retrieve a target.

    Upgrade to the Deus 2?

    Then stick with the Deus 1. Had I known it was going to be a lateral move, I wouldn't have gotten it. However prospecting, saltwater beach, and hot soil, is where the D2 will outperform the D1. I absolutely hate the D2 charge connector. As a skilled tradesman who works around industrial...

    Is Metal Detecting on the Decline?

    Metal detecting may not be on the decline, but participation on the forums sure is. I've been away from the forums for a couple years. I can't believe how dead it is. Days go by without a new post in brand specific forums. Even the main detecting forum only has one or two posts per day. Very...

    Have you ever had hostility from people while You Detect.

    I asked because some people do use relic shovels in parks, schools, and sports fields. Yes, I know that a nice plug can be dug with a relic shovel, but the Karens of the world don't care. They will run right up to city hall and complain. Next thing you know, there's an ordinance that bans...

    Have you ever had hostility from people while You Detect.

    Not in the last 20 years. Are you digging a soccer field or public park with a relic shovel?

    New Equipment Tests You Do

    I used to test that way until I made a test garden in my front yard and saw what happened to the targets over the years. If you test your old hunting grounds within weeks of the last time you hunted, it's a fair test. If it's been a year or more, then it's not an accurate way to test your new...

    Deus II 9" or 11" coil

    I have the 9 and 11 for my D1. I use the 11" coil 90% of the time. I like the 9" for working furrows and other areas where the 11" is more of a hinderance. In my experience, the 11" coil is "for all intents and purposes" as good as the 9" in trashy areas. Just like GazinUK said, slow down a...

    Deus 2 problem with backphones

    I would contact XP and put the question to them. Sounds like a defective unit. It has to be seen by the remote if it's automatically powering up. You could power up the puck and leave it run until the battery dies. Recharge and try it again before contacting XP.

    D2 in EMI

    Underground EMI is the worst. I'm pretty sure the multi-frequency of the D2 will only drive you crazy. D2 Mono (single frequency) program might help over the D1 because there's a higher frequency range to work with, but you will lose depth on high conductor targets. Hence, you might be in the...

    Analysis of a one way signal?

    My limited experience with the D2 is that it tends to sound off on iron with the full range of conductivity when I use my customized "deep HC". For instance, the D1 will indicate iron with either with a grunt (iron volume) or high conductor reading that is above 95. I don't remember ever having...

    How many remember the very first detector you started the hobby with and how long ago ??

    As a poor 15yr old who loved the hobby of electronics, I could only dream about buying a Relco, Jetco, Whites, and Garrett that I saw in magazines. My father, an electronics tech, helped me build a BFO detector from a schematic we found in a hobby electronics book. It was a BFO oscillator that...

    Dont be afraid of relic mode...

    Targis, was that 1 other program gold field? From the manual, "RELIC is processed in the same way as GOLD FIELD but uses lower subtracted frequencies search for large masses". Relic uses 4KHz-24KHz where Gold Field uses 4KHz-40KHz... Try a gold nugget instead of gold leaf. If you don't have...

    Getting scratches out of displays

    I'm sorry, I can't help you remove scratches, but I can help you avoid more.... For my D1, I use PVC shrink wrap bags. You can buy them by the 100 on Ebay. Make sure you get PVC bags; they are more durable. The bags require some modification after they are shrunk, but they work great. My D1...

    Deus-1 vs Deus-2

    Well Guys, I discovered that I customized the wrong program in my D2, that's why I'm having so much difficulty in iron. Things might work better now.
