How to Setup A Coin Program For The XP Deus II That Also Finds Rings and Relics Too!

[@samferda6239]

I really appreciate what you’re doing to help us figure out the new machine. Thanks again.

[@MentalMetal]

You bet!

[@bricam78]

I have been using this program quite a bit since my coil was replaced. I found a 1910 Canadian sterling silver dime, a 1938 murc, a silver ring, and an 1899 Indian head penny all in about a month's time. Working out great! Ty!

[@juangalli6202]

This program is the best i found 40 silver coins. Thanks my friend from argentina!

[@MentalMetal]

Thats great to hear Juan I'm glad its working out for you.

[@edsudendorf1069]

I know this an older video but I have been using this the last 3 days in a farm field down the street from me. I just recently found out that area had 2 houses on it from the mid 1800's. torn done in the 1950's. So far a bunch of wheaties newest being 1940, a couple rummel himes buttons, suspender clips, harmonica reeds and a ton of fired bullets as well as brass casings. Antwho...with all the latest rumblings over D2 discrimination I'm not having any issues so far running it at 0-0. Thank you!

[@MentalMetal]

Excellent!

[@julienparsus8398]

Thnaks from France for your help! Gonna try your program today with my son!

[@MentalMetal]

Thank you my friend. You may have to adjust the tone breaks for the types of coins over there.

[@Diggindurt]

Great program…went out in a park that I have hunted heavily…smacked a 925 ring, old pewter spoon and some clad!! Thanks for the program!

[@MentalMetal]

That is awesome!

[@Diggindurt]

Just added this to my machine….can’t wait to see how it works it’s magic!! Thank you for sharing and taking the time to make your videos.

[@MentalMetal]

You are so welcome!

[@kevinforth7618]

Will set up my Deus 2 with this - thanks again for posting your US coin programs. Bookmarked!

[@MentalMetal]

You bet!

[@JamieMcCabe-s6o]

Scott, I received my Deus II last week and already have 30 hours on it. I loaded up the “coin” program you suggested and WOW!! I’ve listened to others say that the adjustments are dependent upon a users area, weather and oil conditions. Well, I tried several of the set programs over the first 25 hours, all at the same three parks and when I loaded your suggested “coin” program it was a huge difference and successful too. Thanks. I’m of course gonna tweek other program settings and see what works best for me. Thanks again, I really like your suggestion so far. Jamie

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks for the feedback. I spent a lot of time working on it and I've heard a lot folks have had success with it so I'm glad its working for you.

[@detectorguy4565]

Just added this program to my New Deus 2 and looking forward to taking her out to the field see what I find. Thanks again for your program :) Yeah

[@MentalMetal]

Best of luck!

[@detectorguy4565]

I love the tones and the tone breaks. But had to lower the sensitivity a few and increase the reactivity a couple. @@MentalMetal

[@jonermler7134]

Used the Coin program to break in the Deus 2. Found some coins I missed with the Deus 1 from 2 weeks ago. Program works very well. Thanks.

[@MentalMetal]

That is awesome!

[@rickkeifer5928]

Good job Scott thanks i'am thinking about getting one.

[@MentalMetal]

Its a great machine!

[@spencerlangley406]

Just opened up my Deus ll, will definitely use your program and information, thanks 🙏

[@MentalMetal]

Best of luck! But if you want my advice use Park for awhile first (2 or 3 weeks) then setup the coin program. So many people jump right into the custom stuff and they never learn their machine and get frustrated. Just my 2 cents but I think you will enjoy the D2.

[@mdsouthcarolina6143]

Thanks for all the helpful videos and insight. I am new to the Deus, although have used the nox and most recently the legend. I had a similar program I had set up on the legend that not only was good for coins but everything. The only thing I wish is that each tone break had its own volume control so you could make some tones fainter and not all at the same volume threshold.

[@MentalMetal]

I agree w/you on that. Thanks for sharing.

[@juangalli6202]

I am really very grateful to your program for coins since I have obtained excellent results. Now, my concern is that I would be having difficulties obtaining steel coins with nikel since it detects them like a nail or ferrous trash.

[@MentalMetal]

Sorry Juan you will have to try and do some tests on them and perhaps adjust one of the tone breaks to allow them in. We don't have coins like that here in the states.

[@MD-NWWI]

I use a similar program that I came up with. Believe it or not a smacked out a 1900 Morgan dollar, 1907 barber quarter and a 1918 standing liberty quarter. In one afternoon. The next day I went back to double check and picked up a 1917 Merc. This detector is working amazing. Today we hit up a park that we have detected for several years and managed to pull out a few more wheaties and some other odds and ends. It was only 25 decrees F so I couldn't stand it long. But yes the Deus2 is amazing out some great targets

[@MentalMetal]

Yes I'm loving it too. You found some amazing coins already congrats!

[@MD-NWWI]

@@MentalMetal thank you! It's so unbelievable! I'll try to find your email and send some pictures

[@kevinsutton6512]

loving the way this looks, but changing tones 35 upwards . here in the uk thanks for sharing

[@MentalMetal]

Rock on!

[@jerrymellinger7471]

Ive been using this program for the last 2 weeks. Ive been using it in relatively new City parks specifically to look for coins and to get used to the sounds, since Im new to XP machines. The only changes I made was to add a few notches in the areas where no US coins ring up. Spent probably 5 hours total and have found nearly $20 in clad change along with a few silver quarters and dimes. Actually I set yup two exact programs, exactly the same but one has the Horseshoe screen with PWM and the other has Square tones with the XY screen. That way I can quickly switch back and forth between the two to check a really good sounding signal with the XY if I am trying to decide to dig or not. It’s been working great so far, other than the pull tabs are killing me because they ring up exactly in the same range as nickels and I haven’t figured out how to differentiate between the two yet. I know the XY helps with a hook on the PT but I haven’t found enough nickels to notice that difference yet. And crushed cans come up in the low to mid 80’s that occasionally trick me into thinking its a penny. Great program, thanks. Going to try this new one as is for rings and relics soon since Im now remembering the coin ranges.

[@MentalMetal]

Awesome Jerry thats how you learn this machine keep at it. One thing I will warn you regarding the rings you will have to dig just about every signal that looks like a pull tab, rings hit in that junk range so it is what it is. There is no secret sauces to finding rings you just have to dig everything like you do with most other machines.

[@davidross43]

Jerry, what exactly did you notch out. I'm use to 3 tones and notching out almost everything but the normal coins #s but I'm going to try this to learn the tones also.

[@SoFloSteve]

Great setup video Scott.

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks Steve appreciate the support my friend.

[@robbiestephens49]

Im learning the fast program it does really good in iron

[@MentalMetal]

Yes it will do very good in iron.

[@diggindarrell]

Downloaded the most recent XP Deus 2 update and entered your coin program. Hope to try it out and let you know how it performs in Missouri. Diggin Darrell

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

Installed!. Give it a try in the am if its not pouring down. Thx again. Still admiring that Half Dollar Walking Liberty I pulled out with your previous program.

[@MentalMetal]

There isn't that much of a difference I think the nickels ring up better now. Good luck!

[@jimmyzr1890]

Hello, thanks for putting this program together. I'm just curious, have you checked if this works with trimes, 1/2 dimes and gold coins as well? Or just mainly a basic really good regular coin program? I've been hitting gold rush sites lately and was hoping it hits those as well? Thanks for all of your great videos! Oh, and 1 last thing, so far I haven't been seeing the depth that I get from my equinox, I'm curious if this program helps with the depth? Hopefully, anyone with knowledge can chime in. Again, great videos! Oh, and one more thing! Beautiful lab at the end, I miss mine! Best dog ever!

[@MentalMetal]

Hey Jimmyzr1 trimes will ring up between 75-76 maybe 77 from my air tests so yes this will pick them up. As far as 1/2 dime good question. I didn't have one of those to test against so I don't know the target id. But realistically it will hit on all U.S. coins. If there is something that is hitting within the 2nd tone break and you have the frequency of that tone break down to 101 Hz you will miss it. Thats why I suggest bumping that tone break frequency up if you are relic hunting or if there is something you want to find that would hit within those target IDs. Hope that helps and thank you for the kind words about Daisy. She has been a sweetheart but has a bunch of health issues so we are on borrowed time. Thanks again!

[@ilpatriotplugs8682]

Found a half dime a couple days ago in my personalized park program....solid 86 vdi.

[@MentalMetal]

Excellent thank you!

[@Detectken]

I don’t know if this would help your coin program or not, but Calabash Digger and another KZbinr discovered that in anything other than Full Tones, VDI numbers are averaged when 2 targets are next to each other. Especially, when next to iron. He emailed Deus, who confirmed that it was designed that way. Calabash showed a 4 inch mercury dime, with an iron nail next to it. Above ground, the dime (alone) came in at 90. In Full Tones, with the mail and dime buried 4 inches, the VDI read 88-89. Buried, with 5 tones, it showed a VDI bouncing 55-89. BUT, when you turn the Silencer to 0, it quite averaging and gave a VDI of 88-89. I would think a Silencer of 0 would be better for your coin shooting. In the test, he ran iron volume settings of 3 and 1, with the same result. Deus 2 version .7

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks Kenny I do watch his videos when isn't ranting at everyone. I'm not into all the drama over there but I'll have to give this a try. Now that I have my test garden that will be an easy test. Thanks for sharing.

[@lancerudy9934]

Please have more videos. Thanks❤😊

[@MentalMetal]

Will do

[@wildblueangel7431]

Thanks man! appreciate you taking time to make this video.. I am a coin shooter here in the states and I currently have a Nox 800.. getting the Deus 2 is definitely tempting.. how do you feel about transitioning from The Equinox 800 to the Deus 2?

[@MentalMetal]

No problem. For me it was pretty easy. I had the original Deus and I was very familiar with it so my transition was quick.

[@juangalli6202]

This coin program has given me great satisfaction in version 7.1. Will it work in the new 1.0 update? 

[@MentalMetal]

It will need to be revised I'm working on it.

[@scottq700]

Hi Scott…I started using this program. Worked really well! Unfortunately, I had an issue with the remote and the distributor sent me a new one. Trying to find a video on how to pair the coil. None exist. Maybe you could make a quick video on this topic?…would be helpful to see so I can get back to using your program! Thx!

[@MentalMetal]

Sorry to hear that. Great idea.

[@harrysurtees8710]

I think I did it, Im gonna go out and try in my test garden now. Well after trying in my test garden, the jury is still out. I'll get back after some time in the field.

[@MentalMetal]

Let me know how you did Harry. I hope it serves you well. I've had a ton of good feedback on it.

[@Deus-Too]

I got totally lost when you were going over your famous coin program for the Deus 2. Could you just make a list for the coin program of all the options and menus that you put into that program so I can transfer those values into my Deus 2, please?

[@Reviews-Tidbits]

I did some tweaks but can slaw and bottle caps are my nemesis with this detector. Btw lead sinkers ring up at 85-87. I still haven’t found a nickel but I’m hunting some pretty trashy sites,local parks etc. Do you have a program for trashy site infested with can slaw,bottle caps and pull tabs?

[@Jedidiahcarroll]

Hey Scott with the V1 update would you adjust anything to this. Especially with the ability for volume on each tone break? Thanks in advance.

[@MentalMetal]

Still playing around with it. General seems really good as is but I need to mess around more with it.

[@Jedidiahcarroll]

@@MentalMetal I’ve been using your coin program since last year the week you released it. Some minor adjustments. Found 32 silvers last year on it and 18 this year so far. Once I updated to V1 and added it wasn’t the same. Even general just lacks performance in my opinion. I’ve lost depth and just seems subpar. I’m also almost all programs encountering false signals. I’m sure some of this is user error but frustrated.

Sorry for the late response but joining me in Patreon is better place to chat w/me (as you know) :-) I try to get to every comment but its becoming really hard as of late.

[@robertmattern2078]

I’ve got something similar set up in Deep HC. It just smash’s coins.

[@MentalMetal]

Awesome!

[@scottq700]

Hi Scott - can you do a video on how to pair another coil for the Deus 2 and how to switch between coils easily? I can’t seem to find a good video. I have the 9” coil but want to get the 11” coil. I’m not sure how to add the new 11” coil without messing up the 9” coil pairing. Thx!!

[@MentalMetal]

right now I only have the 11" so I couldn't show it. You won't mess up the other coil because you have serial number for both and once you enter it into the RC it will remain in there so you can pick between the two.

[@scottq700]

Thank you!

[@russmartens6543]

Hey Scott. Question. You say. You’ll guarantee they’ll find “American” coins. Will this program work for all countries coins? Or haha. Just curious. I’m in Canada. And I’m guessing most coins would react the same from country to country? (: thanks in advance

[@MentalMetal]

Russ I'm sure it will find other coins from other countries. I only have the U.S. ones to test. There may be some that need a little adjusting on the tone breaks but maybe not.

[@robertbrown8011]

I'm sure it's operator error but I can't seem to get TONE 2 to go past 50...definitely won't go to 58...thoughts?

[@MentalMetal]

You probably need to raise tone break 3 to 64 first which should raise the range so you will be able to set tone break 2 to 58.

[@billt6414]

Chris, I see no x-y screen. Are you using it?

[@Delprete2]

Great program. Forgive me being new to the machine. It sounds like this will hear every thing in coin mode, or will it just hit the nickel and penny and above? On my Nox I only have it hearing pennies and above it works great for silver. In my soil buffalos and wheats are usually in bad shape so I stopped hunting for them but of course some of the pennies ring up in the dime range which i ok as it tells me I’m in old ground. . Would you be able to come up with a program for us silver coin guys with no Nickel?

[@MentalMetal]

It will hear all coins but if you want to knock out nickels just drop the 3rd tone break down to 100 hz, it will just sound like iron.

[@markkus1134]

I’ll have to try this I’ve tried Rattle heads

[@MentalMetal]

Let me know what you think, I'm not sure what Rattle heads refers to but ok :-)

[@taxihuesca.ignacioescar8614]

Buenas tardes desde España Es mejor ir con tono pwn o con tono cuadrado? Da más información el tono pwn Muchas gracias!!!

[@MentalMetal]

I think its more of a personal preference. If you are coming over from a Nox then I would say Square. If you switching over from a XP Deus (original) then PWM would probably be your preference.

[@Detectken]

I have another question. I don’t have this machine yet, and I am wondering why your coin program is based on Park instead of Deep High Conductor? Oops, one more. When you referred to setting it up in relic mode, were you referring to using these settings in the Relic Program, or the same program, but using it to search for relics?

[@MentalMetal]

Kenny I like park better. Deep HC chews up your battery faster. I use my coin program based off of Park for relics too.

[@kevinmccrory2347]

Does this program work the same with the new update?

[@MentalMetal]

I answered that in the description but yes it should work just fine if not better.

[@kevinmccrory2347]

Is this program for somewhat cleaner sites? What if I get into a iron and trashy site? Same settings and program?

[@hubsi5263]

@@MentalMetal Yesterday i was out on a ploughed field and tested a little with the Fulltones. The Fulltones are nearly unusable in the Multifrequenz modes. Lots loss of depth, and scratchy sounds. I stored 2 programms, sensi FT and Deus Mono with the same settings. I switched between the two programs and my conclusion was sobering! For example, i got a signal in Sensi FT, quiet and very scratchy not worth diggin. Than i swichted to my Deus mono, loud and clear non ferrous! i dug it and it was non ferrous!! Ive done this experiment for about to 2,5 hours and always the same result. Without contamination it is a little bit better, but in a normal field it is terrible. At home i tested the machine in air. A silver coin in Mono frequenz 35cm and the same with any multi frequenz program only about 25cm. Settings always the same, Reactivity Sens usw.... Btw, i ran Version 0.7, but in 0.6 it was the same dilemma. Greetings from Germany - Bavaria

[@MentalMetal]

Kevin, if you end up in iron and really trashy sites, I would increase the reactivity 2.5 or maybe 3 but honestly, switch over to Deus Fast for those conditions. My program will work but you will have to pay attention to the numbers and listen carefully to the tones. If you increase the tone break 2 frequency to something other than 100 Hz then it will be difficult but not impossible. It takes some time on the machine to learn to hunt through iron and trash.

[@MentalMetal]

@hubsi 52 Greetings my friend. There will be conditions where multi-freq will not be optimal and it sounds like you an area where you will need stay in mono for that permission and there is nothing wrong with that. As far as full tones, I personally never liked full tones with the original Deus and still don't in the D2. My brain hurts after awhile but I do like 3 or 5 tones and I the "square" sounds over the PWM (default) some will state that you can get more information out of PWM and they maybe right but my brain prefers the other sound and I have found plenty of good targets now with it. One thing to try with multi-freq is try lowing your sensativity down to 90 and see if that helps with your full tones. I'll be redoing my test bed to run more experiments and might some better ideas for you in the future.
