Chatter gone

[Low-Boy/LCPM]

I got the deus to quite down. I don't know what I did to the new program I created but something was wrong so I started all over again and it is working. But on my deus you don't hold any button down while doing a ground bal and pumping the coil??? Do you want the top ground bal and the number under it to match or be higher or lower??? I just don't understand the Disc, with a low setting below 10 you are going to hear a lot of noise in the ground. So as you know on most detectors like the At Gold and my G2 I set the disc at around 30-35 no targets are good that low that I have dug. I remember on the F75 you would set it at like six or so. So you are almost hunting in all metal with tones on the deus and looking for good tones. I guess you are disc out most nails but larger iron will give off a high hit on two tones? And I guess flat iron sheets or broken sheets or tin? So we are really trash digging through the masked iron to find relics and the only way to find that is do use a very low disc?

This is new to me thank god that I can use a iron vol like 1 so I can hear it but it's not driving me nuts..I guess if you were hunting parks or schools that were not very old you would use more disc? I have a school from the 1840s that I have hit over and over again and there is noting left in the ground. The finds I have found are late 1800s so I know that if there is anything hiding in there this detector will find it.
I will test that area out after our first rain.

Mine got chatty in the field because I forgot my headphones, so I cranked up the volume thinking it would help. It creates a lot of chatter, make sure the volume on your machine isn't set very high.

Some settings just don't like each other. For example a low frequency and a high reactivity can get very chatty. When I got my Deus I sat there and designed a program that I thought would be a killer. Went out to the site and it just didn't work. Too chatty. Start with a basic program and change one setting at a time. You will find out which settings you can mix together. And one program that works at one site might not work at the next depending on power cable, electric fences, dirt with high minerals. One last thing to remember is if you get to a site and things seem unstable try one of the stock programs. They are very good and a great deal of thought and trial and error went into them. To be honest I always start with Basic one at a site and adjust from there. If I am going to return to the site I save it. If it was a once and done hunt I just turn the machine off. Once you get the menu down and what each setting does you can adjust the Deus including new tones in under five minutes.


I like to have the numbers on the ground balance close to each other. If the ground balance gets too far out of whack the detector will become unstable. Usually you can tell because you will start getting false signals like crazy when you bump the coil.
