First time out with the Deus

[Shawshank]

Well the Deus turned up this afternoon from Regtons. There had been a small hiccup around the coil size provided but I have to say the way Marcus dealt with it was absolutely exemplary and a brilliant lesson in customer service that other firms could learn a lot from. I am one very satisfied customer.

I got the 11 inch coil with controller and WS4's by the way.

I only had time for an hour or so detecting today and being a veteran of Youtube videos concerning the Deus I decided to jump in with both feet on the GM power setting, changing to other standard settings once i had a signal just to see how they sounded.

I went to a nearby pasture permission of mine which hasn't produced much for me and the trusty T2 for a while and the grass was a little bit longer than I'd have liked however I managed to get the Deus up and running without any fuss.

Within six feet i had my first signal and out came a badly corroded halfpenny which was a positive start!

My next signal was a Victoria bunhead which wasn't in great condition and I think from 1862 but it is corroded on the back and the date is difficult to see.

Third find made my heart skip a beat as I thought it was something really special but it turned out to be a rather nice little button instead.

Next came a corroded thimble and finally on it's first outing the Deus came up trumps with a nice William IIII sixpence. Sorry about the picture quality I was in a bit of a rush!

Needless to say my first impressions of the Deus are that it is a brilliant bit of kit. My T2 isn't a heavy machine but the Deus is lighter and the wireless aspect is just brilliant. I now understand why they are so popular.

Yes. Welcome to the club.. As we say here - "it always ends up with a Deus"...
11" WS4 is what I belive is the current most wanted set up.. So im sure it will keep you occupied and happy for the years to come..

Great choice of programme and set up as you are starting to discover, although I did read your post as, found a Victoria bull head, now that would have been one hell of a start.

I thought it was a nice little button but i hadn't realised it was that nice.

I've found an exact match on the internet....1670

Thanks very much for the ID

The Deus is outrageous!

Button / cufflink in silver. Have a chat with your FLO as it may need to go through the treasure process. But of a faff as it will come back to you but does fall into the category.
