I've taken the DEUS plunge

[Cherryhunter]

After pondering over which detector to get for the last couple of months I decided to up my initial budget of £500 and buy a Deus..It was a birthday gift to myself <:-P convinced myself i deserved it lol

I've been away from detecting since i was a kid so I'm a bit apprehensive but excited at the same time.

I'm not one for reading user manuals cover to cover I really struggle to take in the info so I've been watching as many UTube clips as possible to gain a bit of knowledge before the unboxing.

I'm sure I''ll have many question and hoping u guys will be on hand to help.



I feel like a kid in a sweet shop....roll on Tuesday


Cheers

well bought is it the lite version if so run it in program 2 sensitivity at 86

Glad to hear that and from what I have seen of these modern detectors a thorough reading of the manual will most certainly be needed, whether you like that or not.
I was tempted to a Deus myself then ended up moving over to the Nokta, will be interested to hear how you get on with it.

I did toy with the idea of getting the lite but figured being a novice i was better off going for the complete kit...Went for the 9" bundle

I will certainly give it a read but feel I'll learn more from watching it in use..

I should be going out on my first dig in a couple of weeks and will let u know how I get on...

Well done on choosing the XP Deus as your new best friend I always recommend everyone to watch Youtube videos as it has become the number 1 way of learning to do pretty much everything and anything including how to use the wonderful XP Deus

Please feel free to ask some questions if you get stuck or look on the blue column to the left of this page and under the heading "Metal Detecting Forums" and then click on XP Detectors click on this to take you through to Deus where you will find hundreds if not thousands of questions which have been asked, debated and answered and all on the XP Deus B-)

look forward to hearing how you are getting on with this wonderful machine

Yes i know I've already read a fair few..

I' keep up posted

I found Gary's videos on utube very informative,though I guess you've probably seen them by now,i tend to use Gary's hot. Above all it's about practice and learning the sounds...happy hunting.
