XP HF coil ~Testing high frequencies

[@chuckvt5196]

I have been detecting since 1968, and right now I have 11 detectors in my arsenal. The ORX is one of them, and I find your videos so helpful and fun to watch. You always keep it interesting! Thank you!

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Chuck, appreciate your feedback.

[@chuckduncan9098]

I've learned so much from you videos. After using the XY on my last hunts, I don't think I will ever hunt without it again. Great for helping with coke.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Chuck, so glad they have helped.

[@Wally-H]

Hi Gary, I've been experimenting on 28KHz hot programme with the 9" elliptical. I've been detecting a finds-rich area with lots of tiny buttons etc. I've found loads of stuff missed previously on 14KHz, including some targets that were quite deep. After finding targets on 28KHz I tried switching back to 14 to see if I could hear it - you get that high tone but it's so faint at 14 that it is easy to miss. I definitely recommend anyone with the HF coil goes over their previously detected sites with higher frequencies because you just never know what you may have missed.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks for the feedback 👍

[@leewood331]

Thanks for this video: its eye opening. I have always gravitated to the lower frequencies because I was taught they handle mineral and salt better.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Lee 👍

[@GrantHansen]

Great video, Gary. Really showcases the versatility of the Deus and how it opens up properties to go back and search with different settings.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Grant keep up your fantastic work 👍

Thanks Gary! Very usefull

HI Gary, I switched to 31khz after your summer school couple of years ago.... I use deep fully open disc minus 6.4 with full tones reactivity 4 audio response 5....I have never found so much stunning items and hammereds...exactly as per your vid ,any squeak above an iron tone ...I dig it! And I reep from the deep! Happy new year!

Thanks for your excellent feedback my friend. Happy new year 👍

[@colinsmale8146]

I'm going to say it again Gary, thanks for taking the time to make these vids. During lockdown I'm watching them all again, next best thing to being out. Howz this for an idea while you can't get out... How about compiling a vid on your out-takes? We dig some right rubbish up sometimes when we think it's a good target and curse, we drive the spade in, hit a rock and fall a over t etc. I remember my mate, so keen the get on the field before me that when he tried to clear the barbed wire fence he actually cartwheeled, I can remember now seeing both his feet arch through the air. Happy days.

[@alanjerz9595]

Another great video Gary,, information is brilliant a god send to anyone new to the deus

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Alan 👍

[@magusdetection]

Hello from France, good choice ! it will be better in vietnam ! The best program is the beach sens, i don't like pitch, the square or the pwm are better. You can use sel sens for more stability, and increase a little the réactivity + 0.5 to 1.5. The mode all metal is good (push the right botton up). Don't forget to make ground balance (move the coil not more thant 5 centimers from the ground). I used the Equinox for a long time, now it's finish, only the Deus 2, it's the best for beachcombing.

[@The-skillschool]

Thank you

[@michaelklinge1857]

I was recently at a site with bad EMI a cattle fence near by plus overhead power lines I tried all sorts of adjustment and finally switched to dry beach the emi was almost gone and I soon popped out a gold ring and a silver coin plus a bunch of coppers I have been over this site with 2 other machines plus the Deus on days when the emi was not bad and expected to find very little but was surprised that by changing the search mode I would find stuff I missed I also noticed the Deus loves wet soil over dry and can go to a site after a good rain and it's like it's never been hunted thanks for the video and happy new year

Well done Gary. I'll give the higher frequencies a try. Normally I hunt with the HF 9" coil at the very lowest possible setting. 13.5Khz . I'm after colonial coins and relix here in Ct

[@The-skillschool]

Always worth a try Frank 👍

[@TheJonesy555]

Its always a trade off between the coil coverage. I like to run the x35 11" at max frequency, even on low conductive targets. Would have been interesting to repeat the test with this coil. I have the HF round too.

[@The-skillschool]

Video would be too long

Thank you my friend, please keep us posted on the XP Adventures and the Metal Detecting Skill School Facebook groups.

[@MetalDetectingSCAdventure]

Thanks for the great video Gary ! I recently hunted an old site with my HF coil . I noticed the ground response didn't sound right on 14 kHz , it was a bit quiet and the tones were very low. I changed to 32 kHz it was perfect I could hear the ground come to life and the targets were much more clearer. Again excellent video !!

[@The-skillschool]

Glad it helped SC thanks for supporting my channel

[@ilovetrancemusic2999]

That's why I normally use Deus Fast Program with the HF Cool which I Love. Always in 14 kHz , Audio on 2 by using WD4 Heatphone. Under 40 and over 90 I just dig Liter. Higher Frequency only If there are Electrical issues to cover.

[@ADJ_83]

Gary, I use X35 and generally if I find an iffy target on 17khz I drop it to 7khz and if its still Iffy or worse I walk on. Granted sometimes I'm probably missing stuff and sometimes I dig anyway and 90% of the time the machine is right. Lower Frequency always tends to ID the scrap better which I saw in that video too. What the video told me is that if your on HF above 30khz your probably going to dig more targets as they all sound better if there's a hint of non ferreous in there.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Andrew, you are right the lower frequencies help identify the bigger mis shaped iron.

[@joekeeling4259]

I'm asking for help, I bought an ORX with a white probe. I'm looking for little medieval silver coins. Could you help me with what program i'm working on and how to adjust the machine and what frequency. Thank you in advance

[@The-skillschool]

There are no real adjustments with the ORX. Coin Fast if there is contamination. Coin Deep if there is not. Raising the sensitivity and frequency will help.

[@JoJo-11of11]

Hi Gary - nice video and info. I’ve been meaning to ask you that after a number of years of a piss poor mounting feature on the Deus controller , I would think they would come up with something better to offer to their customers. And maybe while they’re at it a thin plastic plate kit so your coil doesn’t get killed on stubble ! I know I’d buy a better fix for the control as well as the coil bottom plate kit. Happy New Year , cheers

[@The-skillschool]

I feel your pain brother 👍

[@stuartbibby4415]

Hi gary, used the orginal adx 100 fixed coil, it ran on 3khz i think but it could hit them tiny cut hammered coins and low conductors like small gold, always a contentious issue frequency, my favourite was my origanal goldmaxx not the power i could tell how many holes were in a button before i dug it, i moved on to a deus but i could not gel with it, i use the equinox 800 now, great video gary, all the best and happy new year,

Another great video gaz little question for only on the 9"hf coil don't do on the epileptic coil or the x35 it's like the rubber in bottom stem that sits against coil mount is making a creaking noise if I undo it all and put it bk together it stops then as soon as I go to use it again it starts creaking again

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Steve. Double check you have the spacer in the lower stem with the HF. Also the top hat has to be fitted correctly. Failing that change the washer perhaps.

[@MetalDetectingGuysUK]

Just run it at the highest frequency, TBH you won't really miss anything IMHO....

Thanks for the tip, I do mostly run it at 18kHz but do try other frequencies if I find a productive area. 👍

Hi Garay I'm fairly new to the D1 But learning all time. Using pitch hot and fast programs I recently purchased a HF coil ,and wanting to no what best programs and frequencies to adjust . Can I adjust , and up the frequencies also in the pitch and Fast programs ,to have the same sensitive affect Cheers C

[@The-skillschool]

Yes you can change any program to any frequency. Take a look at my Sonar program videos.

[@philharding810]

Very useful - thanks. When watching your videos I wish I could source a spade similar to yours, which seems to be a good size, head shape and not too heavy. Any suggestions where I could find something similar?

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Phil you can convert a Draper spade to a long handle.👍

[@HolzHammerSagas]

Good vid Gary... doesn’t seem there is much of a downside to using the higher frequencies especially if finding hammered fragments at depth which you might easily have missed otherwise! What are the cons as presumably higher frequencies won’t miss bigger targets at sim depths? Happy New Year!

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks for your thoughts my friend 👍

His Video was only 4 min., 7 years old and no Infos about the Funktion, only "I have found a funktion". Greats from Germany Markus

Thanks for another video and Happy New Year. I get on really well with my Deus but the only thing it lacks is being multi frequency, I know you can change as you were in the video but it's not completely multi frequency if you know what I mean. Thanks again 👍

[@The-skillschool]

Fair comment RRH trouble is Multifrequency is slower than single frequencies because they need more time to analyse the signal.. I've done all the tests myself, air tests are not conclusive, in the ground with iron at different depth levels really shows how single frequency is best.

[@grahamhigby4372]

@@The-skillschool Thanks Gary that makes sense.

[@Detectingnorthyorkshire]

Great video Gary I thin they would be a difference in the signal strength between 31 and 54 if the target was a little deeper for the 54khz to make a difference I think the ain't much difference in the tatgets in the video as they were about the same depth

Is it really worth purchasing the HF white coil when so often there is not a great difference between 31khz and 54khz?

[@The-skillschool]

Hi Mark, thats a tricky one, if you are finding small items with your X35 and happy with it then stick with it. Personally I think the HF can offer an advantage on Roman sites.

Hi Gary, great vid! I’ve been a deus user for about 5 years now and I’m still using v4 with my old 13” black coil. I still love it and everytime I think of upgrading out pops a cut quarter or a piece of gold that makes me think “I’ll stick with the old girl!” But lately I’ve been thinking of getting a smaller coil, for trashy sites and also for stubble which is hard work with the big coil. If I get the HF coil can I still run it on my v4 software? Thanks, Tom. (As a side note, I’m not 100% certain that I won’t upgrade to the latest version, if I did would my old black coil still work?)
