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

[@joekeeling4259]

One of the best videos iv seen. Recommend viewing. Great job Dave

[@XPTeamUSA]

Thanks Joe!

[@Rogueaviation]

This is a great method for these videos. Giving the sound, as well as a view of the display on the box is definitely the way to go to really show what's going on. Thanks for the information.

[@montanalrl6622]

@@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.

b4 I started detecting I downloaded a whole series of articles by an eastern european experienced guy and he gave same advice re elongated targets, I found very few in the filed I was on at the time and my nexy=t huge batch of fields had a lot of iron in some places, I got fixated on eliminating iron and dug up farmers trash slaw, clean forgot abt elongation, thanks for the reminder.

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.

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

Well done D. I have had the XP Deus for a couple of months now and really enjoy it. I to have had those junk days, but started to really push myself to hear what the unit is telling me. So junk factor has dropped. This video reinforces and is very helpful to the VDI and tone nuances. Deeper targets are a bit more challenging for sure as the ground soaks up coil energy. Really enjoyed this video.

Dave, I have been watching Dues vids for a long time and aluminum junk and can slaw has been killing me. Rarely have I seen an instructional MDing vid that will help approve my Trash to Treasure ratio and wish there was more. I'm currently hunting an old homesite that is littered with old can slaw (rusty tin cans) that hit in the high 80s. The elongation of the signal is something I haven't noticed and will put this in practice. I thank you and my knees thank you

[@XPTeamUSA]

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

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.

[@richmikesell812]

You can also identify steel crown caps by watching the mineralization bar. If you see more than 2 bars it will be a steel crown cap. It will be about 80% effective. Be sure ground balance and watch for nearby iron in the ground, that will negate this tip.

[@XPTeamUSA]

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

[@leesmith2798]

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

Wats lead like with the draw back on the coin is that got longation

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.

Good video for parks ans stealthy digging ... But in woods or old areas... I did just about everything. old silver can come up low

[@XPTeamUSA]

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

[@benedekrevesz1267]

Does it make sense to hunt parks with the lite version?

[@armadillometaldetecting5840]

Aren't vdi numbers different in different frequencies?

[@XPTeamUSA]

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.

[@XPTeamUSA]

[@elanderan1104]

Why does elongation happen? What does it mean?

[@XPTeamUSA]

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.

[@SuperXecuter]

Hello. Thanks for the great explanation. Why don't you use the X/Y graphic? I have good results with it in Germany. Sure the composition of the coins is different but the garbage can be identified quite safely. Greetings and good fund to all treasure hunters.

[@XPTeamUSA]

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.

[@robertfrank869]

Great video and will be very helpful to me once I learn the machine better? How many hours does one need to rack up on the deus to get this good? I've been watching the skill school videos and also watched the calabash digger vids. He is hitting a silver dime and quarter at 10-12" but I can't get my deus to hit a silver dime consistently at 6!" I dont think my ground is too mineralized. I only have 1-2 bars on the mineralization gauge. Still learning I guess!!

[@XPTeamUSA]

One season under your belt will get you there.

[@montaigue00]

i am a new deus user and have deus 1 lite so no sceen , i really like your video , but my question is does this apply to coins or round targets only ,would a good target which was not round be classified as trash as i have no screen only the tone

[@XPTeamUSA]

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?

[@montaigue00]

@@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 ?

[@XPTeamUSA]

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.

[@XPTeamUSA]

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.

[@j.borchers266]

@@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.
