XP Deus 2 Legacy Program | Find Everything. Miss Nothing.

The brand new Legacy Program for the XP Deus 2 metal detector is finally here!
I have worked on this program for several months trying to find the right balance of power and stability and the outcome was the Legacy program.
Its Like Forager but on steroids!
Key benefits of this program -
1. Greater Depth
2. Better Iron Identification
3. Better Target Separation
4. Versatile On Most Ground Types
5. Ground Noise Eliminated

Pulled out a medieval spur buckle, a lead horse pendant a George I Woods Hibernian hapenny and a lovely Henry IV heavy coinage half penny earlier using these settings. Excellent all round programme. Highly recommended.

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

Thanks Peter, I have not found a reason why I shouldn’t use this program yet. Keep up those amazing finds mate 👍👍

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

Great to hear Peter - just put it inot my remote, and hoping to test in next day or so... 🙏🏻

[@YorkshireBoysDetecting1966]

Michael, I must say the legacy program is brilliant. 3 occasions I have been out with it totalling 16 hours. Like you stated, you miss nothing and virtually no what you are digging. I only got caught out on a couple of massive pieces of iron. Like you stated, you hear everything and can walk away from the rubbish. My go to program was Gary Blackwells TEKNA but sir the LEGACY will be the only 1 I need on all my permissions. Absolutely brilliant Michael and thank you for sharing....Kind regards Ian....YBD

Awesome, can't wait to try it out this weekend!

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

Enjoy it Dan. Let me know how you get on 👍👍

[@neil1922]

I used it today and I'm not a fan! I usually switch between Sensitive FT ( Tekna ) and General ( Forager but with square high tones ). Sure it wasn't missing much, but it was finding a lot of crap as well. I don't think I've dug as much burnt material and broken tin cans. IT also sounded off nicely with some broken shotgun cartridges. Went back to my other modes and found 20 musket balls, buckles etc :) - Not for me, but maybe others will be good

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

Thanks for the feedback Neil. As the program is very open have to rely more on the audio to tell you what’s good and what’s not. It takes some practise but it will be worth it buddy 👍👍

[@chrissumner325]

[@DetectDigSmile]

I will try it out, 1.9 Desc. Interesting. Thanks for sharing.

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

We found from testing across lots of different sites that 1.9 was the best all round at eliminating ground noise while letting iron still come through. Tone 2 (197hz) takes care of the iron. It was a long process making this one but the outcome was a very powerful program. Let me know how you get on 👍👍

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Great quality video, I’ve always found sensitive to have the most punch out of all the programs, I’ll give this a go in my test bed. I would probably go down to 2 or lower to really clean out those clean fields but 3 is a good bet for all scenarios. Thanks for sharing 😊

[@SpitfireExtra]

Hi there! I enjoy your videos. Thanks for helping the animals 🙏. I wold like someone to really sort Discrimination out on the D2. As I beleive Discr is only an audio function for tonebreak no 1. So if you have Discr set to 20 and tonebreak no 1 on 100hz (I use that) and iron volume set to 5. Then you will here the iron grunt up to ID 20. So in your Legacy I beleive you could set Discr to 34. wich is your tonebreak no 2. And iron volume 5. I hope someone, Gary Blackwell?, or you Michael. Will do a really good description on WHAT Discr really means and do. Thanks for now. Happy hunting. See you on the next! 🇸🇪🙏

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

@@jessestone3915 that’s a long video Jesse lol. In a nutshell shell, forager is a safer program that’s still sharp and definitely a useful tool in the box but legacy doesn’t discriminate anything above the ferrous range so lets you hear the ground more giving you more details about the ground 👍👍

[@giannispap16]

in clean ground like your fields why dont you use reactivity 1 or 1,5 or 2 to gain some depth by lowering it instead of 3.just wondering.except from this your program looks good

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

Although a low reactivity will get you better depth in clean ground you will compromise in recovery speed. My swing speed suits a more middle of the road reactivity which still goes very deep 👍

[@UkuleleBobbyKemp]

Hi mate I tried your program on the beach it had mixed results pound coins at 6inchs were a bit scratchy on a 96 sensitivity still continuing to try different adjustments to get that sweet spot for my local beach

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

Thanks Sean. The problem with modern coinage is the amount of mixed metals in them, especially ferrous metal. The program will instantly know if it’s not a base metal and make it sound scratchy. It’s basically looking for the solid copper, silver etc. thanks for the update 👍👍

Great question Jase! So this one would be much better on sites where you know there are good things to be found as it misses nothing. It will be a little more noisy than forager but when you master it you won’t miss a thing guaranteed mate 👍👍

Hi, thanks for your message! Yes please do let me know how you get on with this one. If your ground is very polluted feel free to push the reactivity up abit for better target separation. Look forward to hearing how you get on. Best of luck my friend 👍👍

[@hihikalo]

So everything from tid 2 and upper should have the 2nd tone... very strange. Can't understand any benefit of it. Why just not to use SFT program with disc 3-6

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

@@hihikalo unlike sensitive FT, legacy bypasses the conventional discrimination in favour of precise tone breaks aimed at giving you far better audio information which can aide you in target separation. It does this by boosting the audio of ferrous making it stand out however, it will sound very different to high conductors. It is very different to sensitive FT and the performance is much better in our testing 👍👍

[@edzisp]

Its good for salt beach wetsand also?

[@hihikalo]

In 24 khz package the frequencies start at 7 khz!!!

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

An even better frequency range, thanks buddy 👍👍

[@martenpost3431]

Hello, I have a lot of false sounds. Looks like EMI but isn't. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong?

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

@@martenpost3431 firstly make sure you have inputted the settings correctly. It is normal for the program to have some ground noise but it could also be that your hearing coke. The coke notch is removed but feel free to add one in somewhere between 23-33 and that should fix it. Not all places will be that noisy though. I think your mineralisation bar will be moving around abit which will prove it is likely coke that is causing it 👍

[@martenpost3431]

I’ll try; thanks! 👍

[@SpitfireExtra]

Ok. Been thinking about it... Maybe you in Legacy have a form of 2, two, Discr features? Discr 1.9 and iron volume zero, and volume zero, which will silence everything up to 1.9. Tone break no2 at 34 set to low hz (I would use 100hz) and volume at 10! Then you create another Discr level for iron grunt up to 34. Not a bad idea! Will have a test around this. The 1.9 and iron vol zero maybe calms the ground a bit? Thanks for thoughts! 🇸🇪🙏

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

I like how your mind works! So yes the legacy program bypasses the conventional “discrimination” and uses the tones. Technically you are correct, discrimination is simply adjusting your first tone break “the iron break”. Legacy lets iron come through (tone 2) and tone 1 is simply ground noise which is muted. If you adjusted discrimination all you are effectively doing is moving the first tone break up and down. Hope this helps 👍👍

[@SpitfireExtra]

​@@OMA_MetalDetecting. This requires 1.1 or 2.0 as you have the separate volume control of every tone break. I am on 0.71 but your technique make me think of upgrading to 1.1 ... Separate volume control is essential. 😁🙏👨‍🦯

[@fartymud]

As a artifact/relic hunter unfortunately this program would not help much. Imagine how many barrel hoop arrows and iron spears not to mention a possible lance one could miss.train your ears to distinguish from modern iron sounds and learn the sound of blacksmith hand worked iron and you’ll be leaving the field with Viking axe heads and much more 😊

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

You could easily fix that if you want to find iron targets. Just change the second tone break to something like 437hz or, press the G.B button once and you will enter all metal mode. Thanks for your comment 👍

[@user-nm9hw6sw4m]

come on man ..9 inches is not deep for a modern expensive detector .. i have the deues 2 and the minelab ctx 3030 and the mindlab 800 .. still think the deus2 is a expensive second choice .to the 800 no where near the ctx for depth or target ID ... i love the build of the deus2 lightish and no cables love the control box but it fails with the Iron falsing . maybe if deus ever get to grips with a proper Iron knock out in a update. then my views WILL change . i have been using it for two and bit years now and still think the minelab tech is for more advanced when it comes to depth and Target Id .. this is not a knock on the machine it is a comparison and there will be those who only use one machine all their days .. i have no loyalty to any one company or machine .. but i still not convinced that the deus2 is worth the price tag . this machine struggles with Iron and if Iron is near a none ferrous target or if iron has a round edge the deus 2 will pick up the iron and it struggles to ID the none Iron target ... unless you have a video for that. to sort out that. .. but Iron nails with a round head will sound iron and none iron and if a coin is next to that you will just walk over it .. on the ctx you would not hear the iron just the good target .. if you noch out coke you will lose those small hammered coins in the uk .. coke comes in 25/30ish so do hammerd coins .. far to much EMI with the deus2 .. and that can be a huge issue i do not get with a minelab machine ... so i am not convinced that deus 2 is finding those targets that my other machines have not picked up .. and the depth is just a myth sorry to say ...

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

@@user-nm9hw6sw4m in some ground conditions 9 inches is very deep especially for small targets. Our testing has proved that with the legacy program the Deus 2 can go much deeper but varying factors can either increase or decrease that. Having a specialised program that runs wide open means you can confidently use your detector knowing that if you go over something good you will have a far greater chance of finding it 👍👍

[@user-kr6yi3dv2m]

I’m starting to believe this videos are fake..how was that field detected over and over if u got that buckle 4 inches into the ground..i could have found that with my first metal detector..makes no sense

[@stevebbdotcom]

I programmed Forager into the puck for my previous dig and it was absolutely awesome. I swear the audio level was increasing the closer I hovered over the target. I have just put this into the puck for tomorrow. Only thing I cannot find on the puck is to set the volume levels via the Equaliser ... I "think" they are all latched ? So I have set it at 5. Please correct me if I am wrong and I will try and find another video that better explains the Equaliser on the master. Once again, I really appreciate all that you do for the hobby. While I am myself very new to detecting (although do have an RF background), I find it better to follow the changes to the default program on which the custom program is based while listening /comparing both programs on the same target. If that makes sense ;) Best wishes from north yorks

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

Hi Steve! Thank you for your message and kind comments. There is a video on my channel to program Forager onto the WS6 puck and I demonstrate how to change the equaliser Db values. If you watch that video it should show you what you need to do on yours for Legacy. Let me know how you get on 👍👍

[@stevebbdotcom]

@@OMA_MetalDetecting - dB settings done fine - just realised I attributed the volume question to Equaliser and NOT within the Tones area, my apols. Eg 1st TB @1.9, 211Hz but unsure how to set the Volume to zero and of course subsequent volumes for TB2, 3 and 4.

[@OMA_MetalDetecting]

@@stevebbdotcom got ya! So you will need to make sure you are on either 1.1 or 2.0 or you won’t have the option to change the volume of each tone. If you are on one of those then you simply get to the volume by pressing the menu button again as you scroll through the tones 👍

[@stevebbdotcom]

@@OMA_MetalDetecting - Thank you so much, that worked a treat :)

[@stevebbdotcom]

Michael, I gave the Legacy 8 hours today on a mix of pasture and stubble. Also compared it against your Forager and the base setting 1-General. You are correct, it really does pick up all conductors but, in a nice way. Previously I tried Magnet which I liked but it was too chatty on some of the ground I detect on but, the Legacy just "purred", it was not over chatty at all and I even raised the sensitivity to 97 and at one stage it was holding its own on 98. Eleccy fence did cause some issues (as it would on most multi-frequency modes). 20m away it was fine .... does pick up a Manticore though (so does most other XP settings lol). Again, 20m away and that subsided. I have made a list of custom programs and settings I wish to try out thanks to this group but I will be honest, of the four I have tried so far, this is an absolute keeper - but ears are key. Todays finds included - a complete mix ... tinfoil, lead, a few coins, couple of cartridges including a .303 .... unsure on a lot of items though. All in all, I enjoyed Forager but this is like Forager on steroids 😉 Oh, I have made one small change and went from PWM to Square. Also, prob me missing something, but cannot seem to get "large numbers" on the WS6 puck with this. I will wait for your WS6 video coming out. Thanks again Michael 🙂
