XP Metal Detecting....How to Avoid Digging Trash with the XP Deus 

Thanks Joe!

Glad it helped!

Need to check out the XP Skill School with Gary Blackwell. He is the Master of the Deus and ORX

@@XPTeamUSA I agree his videos are good, but his detecting is in the UK and not the same as gold jewelry hunting in parks here in the US. Aluminum has probably caused many people to give up detecting. This video really helps.

Thanks John! Glad you liked it. Hope it leads you to more treasures.

Thanks Grant!

Glad it was helpful from Wisconsin myself.

Wat you think gary

Thank You Doug! Glad you liked it!

Thanks Man!

Hope it helps Rocky

@Mike s I was using the Deus for this video but it also works with the ORX

I have the same issue on the farm where I detect, I also started using the elongation technique thanks to this video and it's invaluable.

It's been a great tool for me. I use it for iron targets also. As you come off a high tone iron target it will give you an iron buzz

Glad you like it Lars!

Thanks Troy!

Thanks and thanks for watching!

Thanks Steve! Glad it helped.

Thank you Marco! From one Italian to another. Glad it helped you!

Great place to learn the Deus but I'm a field hunter through and through

Thank you Sir!

Thanks Steve!

Thank you Twig! Glad you liked it.

ThanksChad!

Thank you! Hope it helped.

Thanks!

Glad I could help!

Too kind David! Thank you.

Thanks Reb!

Plenty of good training videos out there. Check out my friend Gary Blackwell. His channel is The Metal Detecting Skill School. Good luck and happy Hunting: !

Yes, but not until ALL the bugs are out of the Deus 2

Glad the video helped. GL and HH with the Deus.

XP Team USA ✌🏽

Thanks Chris! It will work on all coils

Thanks

Good tip Rich! You can also raise the coil over the target while sweeping it. An inconsistent vdi number will tell you the same.

I didn't know that about the mineralization bar. I did know steel crown caps will elongating an iron grunt.

Thanks Vlad!

Thanks Rich!

Thanks!

One season under your belt will get you there.

Thanks Josh!

Thanks

If you know the terrain you are hunting on the better you will do. Detecting on land that you are not familiar with, I would dig a bunch of targets first to see if the system will work on that particular area.

@@XPTeamUSA Yes, I took time to dig all signals at first. The XY screen helped a lot in combo with your suggestions.

Awesome!

Glad it helped

Works the same for the ORX

Thanks Aaron glad you liked it. Have you been using the Deus long?

Thanks Aaron have you been using the Deus long?

@@XPTeamUSA about 4-5 years now . Absolutely love this machine.

Not sure on that one but if you try it, let me know what the out come is.

I rarely look at the XY screen and horseshoe screen. I've been using the Deus long enough where full tone audio gives me all the info I need. Both screens are good for info but they will rarely effect the targets I chose to dig.

I agree with you on this one.ive a broken edward 3rd florin and running over the half of it it shows in low 30s range and I have a full florin intact same year and it comes in 55-57 on the machine.im lucky to have found a range of different hammies from all different years and ring in in alot of different ranges.id say alot of people missing alot of hammies thinking oh it's silver it will ring up in the 90s.thats not the case though

I would start off with the 9" X35 coil. It has the frequencies you will mostly likely use 7, 11 and 17 plus it will go as high as 28 khz which will be perfect for trashy and iron infested sites.

@@XPTeamUSA why is a higher frequency better for trashy areas? I heard that a higher frequency can cause worse metal seperation.

@@j.borchers266 There is a lot of masking going on in trashy areas. The higher frequency will lock on to those smaller targets better and coins on edge in between the trash.

@@j.borchers266 I have the HF 9x5 coil and I can find a coin right next to a nail with it. It is great for trashy areas.

It should. Give it a go and let me know the out come.

Yep. The video was just for parks. Fields and woods you dig a lot more.

Yes. The higher the frequency the higher your VDI #'s . Usually 3-5 higher. You could use ID normal with the X35 coils then your VDI #'s will be consistent regardless of the frequency. ID normal is not available with the HF coils.

Tone is very important, so you will want to mimic the same on your D2. I would recommend using a single frequency of 14 or 17 and using full tones.

Here's the link facebook.com/usamadetools/

Lead gives a pretty solid tone, No elongation but you can tell if its a smaller or larger piece of lead by the tone. Musket balls or Civil war bullets will also give you a pretty consistent VDI number.

@@XPTeamUSA nice one my friend Mike from Liverpool UK here top videos

Thanks. I have not. I felt there were to may bugs to be addressed.

Thanks for reply Dave your video really explains targets and there tones Deus 2 users new to the 2 would benefit greatly from viewing what to dig and what not hope you put out some later guides on using Deus 2 if you decide to upgrade Kind regards and thanks

Thanks Paul. Good point. Next video I’ll be more aware of that.

@@XPTeamUSA Exactly that was going to comment. Only I couldn't hear the lengthening of the tone (whether it existed, or not), when the 14k Gold Ring came out. Anyway, the content of the video is very timely, and excellent. Thank you

You prolly dont care but does anybody know a trick to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me!

@Daxton Jace Instablaster ;)

@Ricky Rowan thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

The video was made for park diggers. They pretty much are looking for old coins and rings. The old stuff is going to be deep so if your working off tones listen for the faint nice sounding targets. Set your reactivity to 2.5 or 3 but remember if your in a trashy area set it to 4. If you are uncertain on an iffy signal dig it and always dig the deep iffy ones. If you start to find trash deep in the ground move on. The grounds are probably full of fill soil. If you are digging in farm fields dig all repeatable signals. Most fields are pretty clean of modern trash. If you are on an old homestead and there is a lot of iron in the ground bump reactivity to 4 and dig the repeatable signals. Are you using the ws4 headset? Where to you keep the puck? Attached to the headset or on the stem mount?

@@XPTeamUSA hi, i am using ws5 headphones ,,i was wondering what say a roman dolphin brooch would do as far as longation as its not round but still a good target ?

Brooches will sound really good and repeatable. They will not be scratchy sounding or have a broken broken signal when drawing your coil back. I was on a few roman fields last month when in the UK. I dug a few relics and even though they had an odd shape the signal was very good sounding.

thank you very much for your help@@XPTeamUSA

I don't run the Deus 2, so I can't be certain. Because the 2 is a muti- frequency machine, I would guess that it would not sound the same and therefore give you a different result.

Also where did you find the entrenching tool??.. looks nice thanks in advance

The coil is a 9'' round High Frequency coil made by XP. My digger is made by Predator tools here in The USA

It comes from the shape of the target. When you draw back your coil of the target the tone lingers longer than a crisp short tone as a coin , button, or ring.

Also learn the x/y graph instead of the horseshoe graph. Once you learn it you will never use the horseshoe graph again. There are videos out there that can help with this.

I use both but this was really about using your ears.

Thank RC!! I usually use the hot program as a starting point and adjust as needed. I don’t save any particular custom programs as I’m constantly changing on the fly and have many different sights that vary in ground conditions.

You need to click on the reply icon under the comments to see my reply. They count those as comments.

@@XPTeamUSA Good to know! Thanks for the sub! I

Well not my favorite areas to hunt but they do well in a pinch.

Experienced ears will dig it. You will hear a mixed signal and a 50/50 target is always a good target to dig.

Thanks Daryl! Not as techy as you might think.

He only changed one thing from factory settings. Hows that rocket science lmao

I was using the 9 inch round HF (high frequency) coil. For this demo, any XP coil will do the same.

@@XPTeamUSA Thank you for the email reply as well, you sir are awesome!

@@onemansthought You are too kind my friend!

Glad I'm not hunting your ground. Maybe do some research and get that down from 99 to 50/50. Yikes

@@XPTeamUSA the hunt for better sites is ongoing. Have to travel much longer distances to find

@@XPTeamUSA the hunt for better sites is ongoing. Have to travel much longer distances to find

That's like that for all of us. Getting harder to find those local honey holes.

Thanks for the advise.

Thanks

Actual it does work in the UK. Tested myself. First is the target tone, next is familiarity of the grounds being hunted. Then you need to know your metal tones. Odd shape objects with a nice tone or a deep tone are always dug. You guys are the lucky ones as far as history. Here in the states we have a bit of history ourselves. Copper spear point (3-10,000 years old. Got a nice collection of them. You ever get over here I'll take you there.
