Some great comments here Gaz. 👌 proof the D1 is going no where despite the release of the D2. Clearly its still has a very loyal following and for good reason 10 years+ with you at the helm of technical videos. 😀
Gary - tears in my eyes (of joy!) that you still remember us humble original Deus users and it’s not all about the all singing Deus II - thank you as always 😊
Thanks for this Gary! With the release of Deus 2 I thought everyone turned in their Deus 1 at the next pawn shop. As someone who bought a Deus 1 not too long ago before the Deus 2 got announced (I felt like that machine would be nice and a future proof investment already being on the market for 10 years) after hesitating for a long time (still a lot of money involved) I was kind of sad not knowing earlier that the Deus 2 was on the horizon. Well, what can I say? I saved your Eco and Sonar programs during the first weeks after receiving my Deus 1 and they're just so nice. Sure, multi frequency would be nice but I feel like it wouldn't change too much for me so I learned to not be angry at myself for not waiting any longer and maybe buy a successor model once it became available. Really appreciate that you still make videos with the Deus 1. Keep up the great work and another big thanks for the Sonar program. That one is a game changer!
Hi don’t be angry, I have choice, and didn’t won’t deus 2 for 1400f if I can have 3 coils included and headphones plus cp case and bag , and nice spade , all for 600f , it’s still great machine! I chose deus 1
I added your sonar program and tried it out today for the first time. It rocked. I was so pleased with it. The first good target I dug was a saloon token from 1908 that is worth $150-$500. Thank you for sharing the program Gary!
Awesome video as always Gary. Thank goddess your back my friend, love your videos on the deus 2, but I’m a deus 1 man, so if there’s any chance you maybe do some more deus 1 vids, say you will. Thanks for sharing mate
Hi Gary, I have been a Deus user since day one. Used the Sonar program fast and deep on the last dig. Went home tired from digging. Great results with the HF coil. Regards Paul W
I have just brought one and new to metal detecting love my Deus 1 and find the video's fantastic very informative which gives me confidence in what I am doing.
Hi Gary, inspired by this video I used the Sonar program today at a club rally, and boom two lovely hammered, one of which is Scottish. Still life in the Deus 1
Great video Gary. Glad to hear that the Deus 1 is not being phased out. Myself and another person in our group just upgraded to the Deus form the ORX. Your videos have been extremely informative and we have learned a lot from you. Looking forward to your next video.
As always a great detecting video from you. I own one of the original Deus with the 9in stock coil. I know seems like I may be a but behind the times but I really don't think I am. I also have the Minelab CTX3030 and those two machines going over the same site with them both will both do a fantastic job at what ever the other one may miss. One thing I have noticed more than anything is that the Deus is killer on small targets. Amazing how may rivets there are here in the Western US. I have found so many of those and they are such a great sound.
I have nostalgia about deus 1…and maybe i buy one soon 😄 This is my first xp machine and i sell it when my deus 2 come… I enjoy to yours video.thanks,Gary.
Thanks Gary, Perfect timing, I don't have the sonar program loaded into my deus currently. I'm going to load it in and hit the colonial sites of Salem Connecticut. Thanks for remembering the deus (one) users. Obviously I have more to learn from the old workhorse.
@@The-skillschool I found two colonial British coins from the 1700's and 6 buttons. I really liked the sonar program and it has earned a permanent slot on the control box.
I love the Sonar programme, especially when you dial the sensitivity to the very edge of what the ear can take from chattery feedback. I also think it to be a very versatile program that can be great on pasture (especially using the deep program as a platform) and stubble. Shame it doesn’t work on the D2. Thanks Gary.
I have a Nox 800 and I have it working really well with my own latest custom settings which are a game changer but I also still have need for my Deus 1 and I will be working on some killer settings over the next few days on that also. The HF coil is going to be useful. It is always good to cover areas with different detectors and coils. Sometimes the bigger coils pick up small objects the smaller coils miss and deeper objects. So I scan the area with multi and single frequency machines and different coils.
Hello Garry, another video to keep aside if one day a DEUS 1 comes to me for this setting that you say you like so it must be good to use, for now I am content with my ORX lol.. good continuation and see you soon. Toch, Gironde, France
It's 2024 and I just got the deus, only got it because of the elliptical coil Maybe one day I'll get a deus 2.......when the deus 3 comes out lol I just wish the prices would come down on old machines, I see old machines like the deus and the anfibio selling for the same price they always have, I paid $1000 Canadian for my deus one, tbh I would have felt a lot better about the purchess if the price was maybe $700, or even less, then it would compare to other detectors on the market that are even newer
Gary love your vids and easy of understanding! Question for us in the USA and our coins, how would SONAR be changed for the US? Keep the vids coming, D1 forever.
Thank you sir The Sonar program is a relic program and not really designed to "cherry pick" coins. You could add more tones and change the tone breaks and combine it with the XY screen. If you were hunting for just Silver coins I would suggest program #9 HOT.
Hey,Gary.Love your videos 🍀 What's your opinion using full tones in roman sites / in trashy areas etc.Is the sonar program better than full tones? ( i often use hot with adjustments ) Where do you prefer to use full tones? Thanks and cheers , mate!
Full tones works well on a Roman site, it is especially suited when there is a lot of Iron, just like the Sonar. FT has the added advantage of giving a nice high tone on big Silver and other highly conductive targets.
hello gary I love the deus 1 I'm not ready to part with my deus 1 it's a formidable machine that has nothing to envy to the deus 2 very good video 👏👏👏👍🤝
l originale è sempre il migliore ,perche il due è solo una macchina con troppi impostazioni aggiuntive che non servono a nulla io lho provato il due ,ma ho trovato piu cose con l'uno,poi per i isti romani il deus 1 è una bomba fantastica ,il due secondo me vale si e no come un equinox 600
Nice one Gary… Your editing is excellent, I know there’s a lot of work in that department too.. Is the D2 13” coil the same weight as the X35 13” coil?.. I think I’m happy with the 9” & 11” coins… I’m back out tomorrow in some very wet pasture using the General program as a 2 tone with the higher tone set at 881. I will try the pitch tone for sure.. I look forward to your next video… Best Wishes CMNW 🏴
I always enjoy & appreciate your videos, Gary. Question: I saw that you think the sonar program will work well for the D2 once they do a few updates. What is it about that program as it stands now that makes it not work as well as you think it should on the deus 2?
Great Video Gary, Love the Sonar program ! Oh by the way, where did you get that Gillett from,? looking for a quality one ! Sticking with the Deus 1 I think !
Gary, I enjoy all of your videos but I have a question on this video. What frequency would you recommend on the HF coil? It will only allow a max of 15.686 then I have to go to the next presets, 26667 to 31373. I admit I'm still trying to figure out the machine but I am learning, slowly but surely, Thanks again!
Thanks for your previous answer, Gary. Here's another two.... Will the Deus II and it's smallest 9" coil perform as well on a habitation site as the deus does with its HF elliptical coil? Can you here the iron on the deus II like you can on the deus? Thanks
I had to pop into the kitchen while you were going over the iron and I heard the good signal from the other room ! How about leaving TX on 2 and dropping sens to 80? I find that quite effective. ATB MMMD
Hi Gary, great video as always. I am trying to get a light weight spade with a good length blade like yours, I can’t seem to find one on the internet Please could you advise where you got yours Fran if possible please Thanks in advance 👍
Great video once again! Won't be selling my Deus1, still a fantastic machine! You never know, something could happen to my Deus 2 and I'll still have my Deus1 as backup. Not sure perhaps I've missed it, but have you done a video on how to store the Deus1 properly when not in use for longer periods of time? Cheers!
While setting up the Sonar Program for use with my black X35 coil, I couldn't get the frequency to set at 17.297 kHz. So when I removed my black X35 coil and I placed my white HF elliptical coil near my RC, the 17.297 Khz came up, and I "saved" the program. There must have been something I missed or didn't catch?
Will the sonnar program work on V3.2 ? If so what would I need to adjust differently for it to work with the older version of the Deus, I'm a bit technophobic and not very good with computers, never used one when I was a working man, have no need for one now I'm retired, hense why I'm still on V3.2 lol
I was watching your video yesterday Gary and tried to put the sonar program on my Deus. I missed the part where you mentioned it would not work with the HF coils. I went and picked up an X35 coil today so I can install the sonar program. Do you have a similar program that will work on the 9" HF coil?
I have a question about the panel serial number sticker. I have been using D1 for a month and the corner sticker has come off. It was impossible to re-stick the corner of the sticker so I had to cut it. Xp should round the corners so that the sticker does not come off. Do you also have a sticker peeling off the corners? I've been using the new D1 for a month. sorry for my not the best english.
Nice one Gary… Sadly I had to sell my Deus 1 to allow me to buy the Deus 2… Question for yer, Can I put the Sonar program into the Deus II Mono platform, Keeping everything the same? Sonar was my favourite program… Best Wishes CMNW 🏴
Thanks Matt Try Deep without adjustments, if it is to sparky use fast as a platform....Why not make 2 programs with both platforms. Sometimes deep us to powerful for some ground conditions.
I think in a nutshell, as long as the Deus 1 is comparable in price to the Deus 2 then the Deus 1 will be finished. Lower the price on the first one and it might have a fighting chance. but as far as I’m concerned if the two machines are around the same price,I’m gonna go with the new one every single time.
After 3 months of waiting I finally got a call that a Deus 11 was available. And guess what I turned it down, The delays with supply has given me time to think. I am not convinced there is enough difference with multi-frequency unless you do beaches. I would give anyone with a Deus 11 a run for thier money using my lite and it only set me in £400 !
I've gone back to the deus 1. The 2 isn't what it's cracked up to be. It needs a wider band of multi frequencies so that it's on par with the nox. Not one program does it all on the deus 2
@@The-skillschool Hi Gary I also use 3.2. So do you mean set the disc to zero as opposed to minus 6.4 as in the video? Final question, do you run one on one tutorials? Thanks James
Greetings Gary ! I've heard rumors about incoming D1 update. Is it true and if yes can you share some details about it.What is to be expected ? Love your videos !
I have the HF round and the larger X35 coil (11"). I've found small hammered coins with both. In all honesty there isn't a lot of difference; the HF is more accurate in that it's easier to pinpoint smaller targets but you can use the X35 on its default 17KHz and it will still find cut half and cut-quarter hammies.
a lot of people want simple deus wsa ears without tuning and have been waiting for them since the release of this first model. as you know, this is not possible and do not wait. this is unfair.
I don't know why my HF coil take ages to charge, a full night at around 110ma sometimes at 80ma. My guess is the coil charging circuit is faulty because I bought new battery and same thing, very very slow charge rate.
@@The-skillschool Yes, I use the same charger as my phone, capable of 2a+, I use a usb charge tester that shows the ma and voltage of the charge, that way I can tell if it´s charging or not, could it be the charging clip? have you heard of any people having the same issue? I wish I could get a spare cable to plug into the battery and charge it externally , just need the connector reference / name, do you know If I can get it anywhere? I am sure it´s not proprietary, I would just use a simple 1s lithium charging board , I have a couple of those with USB c port. I have tried contacting XP but they forwarded my email to my local XP dealer and sure enough he couldn't provide any help.
Make sure it isn't turned on. There is an intermittent fault with Deus headphones whereby sometimes when you plug the charger in to them, they are switched on. This of course means the coil is working as well and cannot then charge fully. The problem with the headphones appears to be that they don't actually turn off properly when you press both buttons - the screen goes blank so you think they are off. If you don't charge them, the next time you go to use they are flat. Once you're aware of the issue, the best thing is to charge all the kit fully before every session and when you plug it all in to the charging gear, check the headphones to make sure they are off. I was fooled by this issue for some time, to the extent that at one point I sent my HF elliptical coil back to regions for checking because I couldn't understand why it was going flat. I know from forums this is a common bug with Deus headphones.
Hi Gary, I bought a Deus 1 last year because it is so lightweight. But the one problem I have is that if I use any notching whatsoever, all signals becomes sharply cut off making it hard to determine targets. Is this a previously unspotted V5 update glitch?? I would really like to use notching but because of this, I can’t use it. Any ideas ? Also, the D2 is not lightweight like the D1 so is not for me.
Thanks for your thoughts, if you don't like notch try using tone breaks instead. Who on god's earth told you the D2 is heavier....perhaps by a couple of grams.
Today i was us using the deus2. It was going crazy with interference. I put it on mono mode like the deus1 and using 25 k all the interference was gone . I plan on looking for a deus1 .
I have the deus2 . I want to use my 9" hf coil from my ORX in the mono program BUT IT WONT PAIR . There is no good reason why I should not be able to use the hf coil with the deus2. !
Gary why not if your running single frequency in the mono program ? I tried pairing the 9" hf coil to the deus2. Of course it didnt work . But it sure would be nice if i could.
How do you perceive things? Is a glass half empty or half full ? Is buying a Deus metal detector. buying from a company that gives you free software updates? Or a company that uses you to do their field testing for free? Facts Updates within weeks of release for sale. Updates are field tested by you. Is it finished? Deus 1 users forgotten; these machines are not cheap, there should still be as many (Garry vids) being made for the 1 as there is for the 2.
