Hi I’m new to the deus I took it down to the Thames last weekend with the elliptical coil I normally just do eyes only but wanted to try it out .. anyone got some ideas what settings to use would the silencer help ?

Cannot help with the setting on the Deus for the Foreshore,how deep does your license allow you to dig on the Thames foreshore ? different licences allow different depths as i understand.

i have a standard permit that allows me to go 3 inches so its not about depth more about sorting out good from bad targets and by that i mean the foreshore covered in iron. how can i cut that out without losing the good signal

I still reckon of of the all time classic machine/s/coil combination are the Tesoro/Lasers with the 4'' coil on,as you have mentioned its not about depth but target separation,something that is basic and simple and reliable.

yes the thames laser scout ..i just thought the deus with elliptical coil would be good for both land and thames.. as a newbie guess i got it wrong

Defo go for a small coil aIthough it can be very frustrating detecting with a standard permit, when you've scraped/dug to 7.5 cm and you haven't quite reached that target!
The Thames is a special place to visit....eyes only isn't necessarily a bad way of enjoying the foreshore.

From all the (many) videos i’ve seen the foreshore is positively littered with metal. I guess Fast might be your best option to get between the iron

Personally I wouldn’t bother with the detector, as mentioned above, as eyes only seems the most fun.

Yes I agree eyes only is fun but no harm trying both .. I will give the fast program I try thanks

I guess you are talking about the big black elliptical coil. Though the white HF should work great with sensitivity lowered.

Not the black one I’ve got the white Hf

Lots of machine work on the Thames depends where you are BUT you will never know what you missed...................some spot you could use a ACE 250 or an Explorer other even with a 4" you will miss stuff as the electronic cannot cope as the machine is literally detecting on an iron sheet .

Trust me I tried a lot of machines on the river Thames
