I have been Metal Detecting/Treasure hunting since 1973. Started out with BFO detectors where you dug everything with zero analytics. Now, almost 50 years later the detectors are computerized and even waterproof!
Most of my hunting has been in the North East but the hobby has taken me down South and outside of the USA.
One question I have is was the ctx showing a good target on the screen? Sometimes I won't get a tone but I will get the visual on the screen, nice red dot in the desirable sector on the display
Hi there! Thanks for the upload :D Could I know what settings you use while under salt water? Mine is very chatty when going underwater or even when the disk is under saltwater (Mediterranean)
Hello been following your channel for a while i am a Deus2 owner too and i metal detect for living metal detecting is not a hobby for me i metal detect almost every single day in the summer wanting you to ask a question should i remove the red cap on the main control unit after i finish my dive (i go to the sea everyday and only use my detector underwater)
After soaking my D2 and fresh water for an hour, I make sure everything is dry and then I remove the red plug. I live in an area with a lot of mountains where the pressure changes quite a bit so XP recommends not leaving in the red cap. If you're not changing pressure by going to higher elevations and pretty much staying at the same elevation all the time, it may not be an issue leaving the Red Cap in. XP has good customer service so I would recommend reaching out to them and asking the same question. Thanks
@@cpennington4368 i live in a very hot area during the summer (this times) the weather is 35-40 degrees at all time but i do not go high elevations or something like that xp says i should remove the red cap after each dive but i concern it may be loosen after time to time becouse as i said i dive almost every single day
@@MrBubbles.. I keep mine in until I plan to go out detecting on the land. Never had an issue with it. I also store mine in a cool place so it does not get too hot.
@@crimsonzero2 same here the only difference is i dont detect on the land only underwater but sometimes when i go to the beach the machine making a pop sound but guess thats ok
Great videos as always! Wanna see ya try the Manticore with the M9 9" coil on it. Been using it in the water (wading) using beach deep. Hitting some nice tgts!
Hello!!Great video,again!!Sorry i'm asking here,but your opinion weighs a lot.My Excal is geting realy old and soon i'll be needing a new detector.I love the Excal,but everyone seems to be moving on to new and better ones.If you had the resources just to buy one,which one would it be?Thank you!!
The Excal has been my go to dive machine for many years because it is simple and reliable. After having this one successful dive with the D2 in an area that I've hit hard with the Excal, I am definitely going back in the water next week trying the D2 again. Too soon to make the Excal permanently my number 2 machine, I am excited about working the same area again with the D2
well played Carter// the D2 slaying the well hunted spot DEF tells you there is MUCH more there!!! ocean or bay? def salt or brackish based on the decomp on the brass/etc
really like your videos-good info that comes along with them. I'm curious if you've used the manticore diving and if so which do you prefer? Thanks for the adventure
Awsome video I'm hyped. I know a spot someone lost a gold chain about 6ft under water. Is it possible, or do you manually ground balance u while under water?
Quick question what are you using for power on the electrolysis? How many volts and Amps/mA does it use. Or what ever the unit of power it uses? I got confused and stumped myself for a second there 🫤. It's volts and amps I believe right. Anyway I noticed it seemed hot as it bubbled instantly when you dropped the gold ring in
@@steveallen984 if bubbles instantly because there was a lot of baking soda in the water so the conductivity was high. Any 12-volt Transformer works fine just be sure to put the good Target on the negative and the scrap metal on the positive
I was a tester of this product. I enjoyed it very much. Really comes in handy. I hate trying to balance the detector on my hip. Looking forward to attaching it to a belt for beach hunting even the waist belt for waders when water hunting. Great product Carter.
Awesome idea on the hip holder. All of us think of something like this, but it never gets past an idea. I need one, especially for beach hunting where you stand to dig and need both hands
As a early tester of the Hip Hanger, I can tell you that it works nicely, as he said in the video avoiding bending down is big and that will help when I am in England detecting helping save my back during an 8hr day of hunting. There are some advantages not mentioned in the Video, no more detector rolling away on a hill or any issues getting up from the ground in rough terrane or having an extra hand available to answer the Cell phone or take a picture. It’s never in the way or restricting. Get one !
You had lots of cool finds, like the victorian era ring!! It looks like such a fun day under the water! I had never heard of a brass swim buckle before, and I also didnt know that Silver Dimes would do that in the salt water. (I dont get to search salt water areas very often 😆) I just love watching diving videos, and I love the fanning method and how it reveals the treasure. Great Job with the video and Thank You for bringing us along!
Can't keep getting on my knees for every signal especially if they are shallow. The problem was keeping the detector balanced while standing and digging with two hands. Don't have to worry anymore about the detector slipping off and hitting the dirt. Been using mine for a couple of months now.
Picking up the swim buckles over a foot and the coins are sounding good at about 10 inches. Always hard to tell when digging in sand and rocks because the hole is constantly caving in
Absolutely. I find that the numbers are extremely accurate on both deep and shallow targets. On deep targets the numbers will read almost identical when the Target is out of the hole.
I use the same setup just with the bone conduction headphones , try the 11x13” coil I alternate between that and the 9” coil. Also the beach sensitive using pitch tones loves small gold earrings and thin women’s rings . Love your videos .
Digging into that sand clay mixture is what clouds everything up, the Fanning actually helps clear it up. Not a huge fan of the pin pointers underwater, all personal preference because I know people that love them
awesome hunt! NH Beach Metal Detecting said you have the best channel on Utube! love your videos! we had really good luck the last few weeks with the xp2!
I started out using the 11-inch coil because I like the coverage and the depth. I might try the 9-in coil if I get into an area with more iron trash but for now I'm happy with the 11
Personal taste, I like having the full headphones. Tried the bone and it wasn't my thing. Been underwater metal detecting now 41 years, you know what they say about Old Dogs
Deus2 is really a amazing machine for undetwater use im metal detecting for living and hands down the deus 2 is the best underwater detector i used so far
I really like your videos. As a person who used to dive (I'm too old now) I want to see diving, not chit chat. That's what you are giving me. Thank you!
