New Deus 2 on the way ...

[Willee - Texas]

I posted this to the wrong forum and have asked that it be deleted from there.
I am re-posting it here where it belongs.

Called Richard and placed my order for a new Deus 2 detector.
I honestly did not know it was a multi frequency detector as I had a Deus 1 a few years ago and it was not.
(regretted selling it soon after I did)
Hunt the salt water beaches around Corpus Christi Texas and the single freq detectors dont do as well as the multi freq machines.
Retiring later this month and plan on resuming my metal detecting activity's that were put on hold a few years ago.
So I wonder ... did MineLab lease out their multi-frequency technology or did thie patent run out.
I thought their patent was what was keeping other detector makers from doing it years ago.
A few detectors used more than one frequency and they worked well but it was not the same as the spread spectrum Minelab used.

William, congrats on the retirement. I retired 16 years ago, and there's nothing like it...

Congratulations on your retirement! I retired in 2014. The dealer just parted out and sold my old Deus to put the monies toward the Deus 2. I have a few hours on the Deus 2 now. Got the 11" coil and MI-6 pinpointer (trying to get used this coming from a standalone Garrett pinpointer. The jury is still out). Just ordered a 9" coil as a backup for the short battery life on those long hunt days and for getting into tighter places.

Congrats
I just got to retirement age, so I’m hoping I can retire in as little as 10 more years, so long as I stay healthy and effective at my job of 44 years and counting.
