[@Deus-Too]

It must take a lot of experience to develop an ability to hear exactly what the machine is telling you. I love the Deus2, but I also know that I dig a lot of targets that are junk, because I would feel such guilt walking away from a target that may be valuable.

[@Gary_Daytona]

Excellent video my friend, great examples, and you are so correct. The Deus II is talking to us, and it’s like speaking to someone else with a different language, at first not clear at all, but once you start to understand what it’s been telling you you realize there’s so much more information there than you thought it first. It is truly an amazing detector that you learn to appreciate more and more as time goes on!

[@The-skillschool]

Great info, thanks Gary 🤝

[@neilstorey5242]

Thanks Gary. You've got to learn to love the sound of the iron! 😊

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Neil 👍

[@TheDukesOfDerbyshire]

Another great demonstration Gary. Sensi FT is what I've been using now for a month or 2 and absolutely love it. Don't use XY, its all about the sound for me. Great video, always professionally presented and put together

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Gareth 👍

[@DetectDigSmile]

Thanks Gary this helps a lot. I have about 100 hours in which it nothing, but this bridged some gaps for me. Just the sound of the iron and the explanation was great. It was just so helpful. I am going to the beach next week and have been playing the beach video over and over so I have it in my mind when I hit the sand. Thanks again.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks DDS

[@DiggingCanuck]

Great advice Gary. I put XY on depending on where I am for now....

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks DC 👍

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

I like to hear the changes. What I have concern for is at B.Cap 5, does depth suffer? So one day soon, I’m going to do a vid with filters in various states from light filter action to full on. See how that affects performance and depth. Curious, gotta know. Nice vid G.

[@PALM311]

Hi Gary, I have been detecting for a number of years now and one of the things that I have learned over the years is that I learn more from my machines when I can hear what they are telling me. When a bunch of targets are discriminated out about the only thing you’re learning is how to make adjustments on your machine, but you’re not really learning the machine.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks EMD

[@jessestone3915]

I agree about the adjustments as it's knowing what your doing, great learning curve. Keep them coming

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Jesse 🤝👍

[@fredledoux2654]

Thanks Gary. Great video again. The magnet at the back of the MI6 is so clever ! I'm gonna raise iron volume on my standard program. Merci !

[@RealGrubert]

Great video. I have used my D2 for a few hours so far, these really help out. Thanks!!

[@kevinforth7618]

The XY screen has really improved my coin hunting, since most coins in my area are not deep. My success rate has improved and I spend less time digging junk. I noticed that my finds bag has only a fraction of the junk I used to drag home to dispose of (mostly shotgun shells). Completely agree with taking the time to learn the machine, and after 5 months of using the Deus 2, I'm still fine-tuning my skills. What a great machine - would buy it again.

[@markhannam7144]

Great Video Gary , searching a Roman pasture site last Sunday on a very worked out site , hammered by the Deus 1 , here are my results from this hunt 1 Roman ring 1 Roman Fibula I Roman catch plate !

Great video.. some good tips.. I've not played around with the settings much yet.. but I do use the big numbers and I have upped the audio response to 6 as I've always used mindlab machines. I think this is helping me hear those deeper targets. 😀

The problem I have is thinking it's a good target sitting in iron. When in doubt dig it out

[@algiordano9214]

Gary great helpful information as always. Stay well mate. Al, NJ, USA

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Al 👌

[@itselectric3906]

I often wonder what your left hand is doing while you sweep a target ? If you held the RC in your left hand in front of the camera, it would be steady and easy to see.

[@frankziemski2583]

Gary, will zooming in on the XY screen help to ID deeper targets?

[@itselectric3906]

I wish you would have identified what program and tone you were using in the start. Also remove the RC from the shaft and hold in front of the camera. Much easier to see while moving the coil over the target.

[@daveh4777]

Excellent video Gary, really appreciate all your efforts! ,,, looking forward to seeing your next video.,,,, I liked the spade your currently using, is it a XP product? I would like to purchase one.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Dave it's not an XP spade.

[@daveh4777]

@@The-skillschool thanks for your response Gary, since posting my reply I’ve now sussed out the make of the spade and I’ve ordered one! 👍

[@paulinesalinas9443]

Hi, great videos and really helpful! Can I ask is that a detectors harness you’re wearing and if so where can I get one? Tried the Minelab harness and it was really uncomfortable.

[@terrygreennway9655]

Thanks so much Gary for the instructional videos. I'm really enjoying my Deus with the 11" coil. I'm still waiting for the 9" coil. Do you have any idea when XP will be shipping out single coils for the Deus2? Thanks Terry.

[@The-skillschool]

Thanks Terry.... No idea regarding the coil date.

[@terrygreennway9655]

@@The-skillschool Thanks Terry.

[@scottbyers1910]

For those tempting high tones on the edge of iron, how do you know it’s not a coin being partially masked by overlapping iron? Combine that high tone with an 86-88 VID, and it’s very hard to resist digging it. Tips?

[@The-skillschool]

Dig it, your spade is the best discriminator.

[@alllivedigsmetaldetecting7977]

Brilliant and informative. I've had the deus 2 a few weeks now. First couple of times out I dug a fair bit of iron. Last time out didn't dig any iron at all. Slowly working this fantastic machine out before labelling it as rubbish like people do who don't have the patience to learn the machine. I use pitch almost exclusively now. Is there iron volume settings when using pitch? I'm at work so cannot check on my machine.

[@leeholland1008]

You shouldn't have to use pitch all the time just because the rest of it is no good...wish people would be honest, this machine shouldn't have been released until it was without problems, a very expensive mistake..

[@alllivedigsmetaldetecting7977]

I didn't say the rest is no good. I just like pitch

[@diggerdaz279]

Hi Gary…I have a very quick question for you, what type of magnet do you use on the end of your pin point…fridge style magnet or stronger type. Thanks Daz

[@ibanezrg470]

Gary loved the video,can i ask where u got the harness u r wearing?

[@xpmetaldetector]

It's A Helikon tactical harness

[@ibanezrg470]

Ty Gary,and thx for the Nero 1 and 2 programs,my go to now.

[@robertwhittingham2855]

Thank you, Gary. A very informative and helpful video. I was stumped recently when I had a lovely signal with a target Id of 71 and a straight line on the XY screen. When I dug down I found a hot rock or it could be a shard of pottery. Why was this?

[@The-skillschool]

Hi Robert, not Hot rock at 76, there may have been a target inside

[@robertwhittingham2855]

Hi Gary, The id was 71 and nothing inside. Still confused.

[@tommy88777]

If its a straight line is that not coke and good targets usually L/R line

[@mikekingswood]

To be honest the time spent trying to ID a target. I've already dug it and 100% confirmed it. I've many time dug what the detector was reading as junk has turned out to be a coin etc.

[@luissuareznuez2214]

A master class ;) thanks Gary!

All I heard of this machine is that its great sepparating iron from nin ferrous but I just got the machine and Ive been 2 hours digging nails.. they all ID as 86 to 90 and everything else lower is aluminum, Only thing I got was 2 quarters that ID More than 93. I used all factory programs still hit nails as non ferrous...

[@davetaylor812]

Hi Gary what is the furthest from actual iron you have found a false good signal.?

[@whitewaterjack3332]

Thanks for the tips , "White Water Jack"

[@itselectric3906]

I would like you to wear your go pro on your chest or head for the shots that you ask us to look at the screen while you whip it back and fourth. It is impossible. With a chest mount you can remove the RC and hold it stationary so we can actually see what your talking about. I don't expect you to answer as you usually dont.

[@peterkoller3761]

For Scuba detecting in fresh water, unable to read any meters due to zero viz (=discrimination by ear only), and I do not mind digging the occasional nail: which settings do you recommend?

[@user-myDeus24ever]

Gary can you help please I bought the wrist watch to use my WS6 as my master now it’s hard to get the puck out of the wrist watch band

Iron tones are the most important tone on a detector.
