XP DEUS II - Metal Detector (11 inch coil)

Product Information

To help shorten this learning curve I also recommend building your own test bed that you can use over and over. Bury junk targets, relics, and coins. Try to go out there for 20 mins every day for 2 weeks and just listen so your brain and hearing register those targets. If you do, this it will make a huge difference in your recovery of good vs bad targets. But What About The Advanced Features of The Deus II? You may find that in a forest setting, valuable items can be buried pretty deep. I suggest having the XP Pinpointer on hand to guide you to the treasure. It helps avoid unnecessary digging and wasting time. Take the XP Deus 2 out regularly and learn the different settings while practicing. You will find it easier to use every time. If you follow my recommendations above, I guarantee the Deus II will start making sense and you will cut your learning time in half. The Deus II is a very powerful and capable metal detector. The more you use it the more you are going to like it. Don’t Believe Everything You Read About The Deus II. I see so many people posting comments on various forums and Facebook groups that all they seem to be find with Deus II is junk. Let me be clear about Deus II, you will dig your fair share of junk targets ( at first). You have to dig a fair share of these junk targets to get your ears tuned into what is junk and what isn’t. There are slight differences in the tones that you have to learn and listen for. The XY screen can help you learn those differences by presenting a visual but the XY display isn’t 100% full proof. Your hearing is what will help you make that decision to dig a target or not. The image below is a result of 2 hunts where I dug every target to understand what I was up against in the beginning. Results of 2 hunts where I dug just about everything

Currently, there are no after market search coils available for the XP Deus II. I don’t expect to see any after market coils come on to the market for the Deus II. The original Deus never saw any after market coils developed. Most of XP’s technology is built into their search coils and this is a feature exclusive owned by XP. Which After Market Search Coils are Available for The Minelab Equinox? The truth is the price reflects the quality of what you’re getting and the fact that it’s lightweight combined with its superior ergonomics will allow you to hunt for longer, resulting in more finds. XP Deus 2 VS. XP Deus The bottom stem is a single rod that fits into the upper arm. It is more of an oval or semi-square shape and smooth to the touch. The coil is easily fitted into the bottom stem with a butterfly-style self-tightening screw.

DEUS II power in its most agile form!

The XP Deus 2 has 3 “Beach” modes that can change its salt sensitivity. The highest sensitivity is 9, but that may cause interference if you’re trying to find small jewelry items. You should play around with these settings and adjust the sensitivity as you go along. Using the XP Deus 2 on the beach is an absolute pleasure. Because it is completely waterproof, there is no need for a rain cover on the control panel. However, because beaches tend to have mineralized soil, it is one of the more challenging places to use a metal detector without getting mixed signals.

For a beach, you can set the determination to cut out certain unwanted objects, and the sensitivity levels can be high while engaging the Beach button. Due to the XP Deus 2 being fully wireless, you have an unlimited range of motion. With the W.S. 6 headphones, you have the perfect treasure-hunting tools. the sound signals come more clear compared to underwater headphones, because anyways the eardrum conducts the sound less effectively when the ear is filled with water One of the ways to eliminate trash is by adjusting the iron bias. The best program settings for a forest would be ‘PARK,’ ‘DEUS MONO,’ or ‘GOLD FIELD.’ These three programs are designed to grab specific signals at depth and close to the surface.

XP Deus II Kit

The user can mount the WS6 module on the stem and actually use it as a mini control box, to have access to all the settings. In fact, the detectorists will be able to use any of the 3 combinations:

Fast Multi Frequency– this outstanding technology enables the search using many frequencies simultaneously, with fast recovery speed, working for all types of targets Combine the innovative technology with their patented & super lightweight telescopic ‘S’ stem. The handle/stem assembly is patented due to the clever design allowing the stems to slide within each other, the clever part is that it’s all within the ‘S’ shaped handle, unlike other manufacturers who have to try & work around the XP patent with less comfortable & often flimsy/fragile alternatives. The coil is completely waterproof up to 65 feet, has a coil cover, and holds a 5 years warranty. The weight is 470 gr. XP Deus II Accessories XP WS6 Wireless Headphones A good idea is to walk a couple of paces up and down and listen to the signals. If you suspect any false signals, you can adjust the reactivity. Salt water is conductive, so another way to get the coil to settle is to run the surf over the coil a few times while the ‘Salt Sensitivity’ setting is adjusted from the maximum to around 7/6.Nor do I see a Deus 2 replacing this telescoping Equinox with 6” coil for light weight compactness and ability to work in tight quarters. Also a decent deep seeking discriminating pinpointer for use with a PI detector. Once the three or indeed two main components are paired by simply entering a serial number, XP’s patented wireless protocol allows target signals generated by the search coil to be transmitted to either a built-in speaker or to the headphones without any delay. Not to be confused with Bluetooth technology & their ‘low latency’. RELIC: FMF • Max. freq. 24khz • Frequency subtraction. RELIC is processed in the same way as Prg. 8 - GOLD FIELD, but uses lower subtracted frequencies to search for large masses. It is configured for “all metal” with low Reactivity and only rejects the localised ground to which you should regularly adjust by Grabbing (see Ground). It will then accept ground above and below this ground setting.

If you are planning on entering the water, it would be best to use the waterproof bone conduction headset. Al the XP headsets have dynamic audio options such as PWM and SQUARE. The larger headsets are better for use on a busy beach as they will cup your ears and drown out distracting noises and the sound of the waves. After making these essential adjustments, a G.B. or Ground Balancing is crucial to prevent further signal interference. You do this by holding the G.B. button and pumping the coil up and down towards the sand, and once it stops making noise, you’re ready to start. XP Deus II has many expert features, settings, and tech specs that will make the search as efficient as possible. Of course this is not a beginner level machine, and the features listed below need some previous knowledge and expertise to make use of them. But when mastered and set correctly, they will allow the user to take advantage of the numerous variations of the settings combinations for all kinds of environments, locations, and targets. I never particularly liked the Deus with the 11” coil. I did not see a big difference depth wise, it was very nose heavy, and the only improvement was for horizontal coverage. Deus II has a control box and also a remote control. Both work with the headphones, but the combination of remote control and the headphones create a convenient and handy pair that make metal detecting easier, because the metal detector becomes lighter when the control box is taken off.The XP Deus II or XP Deus 2 is the latest metal detector from XP Metal Detectors. The Deus II comes fully loaded with new features and tools that can help anyone new or experienced find coins, jewelry, relics and more. Uses FMF up to 40kHz – uses low and high frequencies. Very efficient, works well in mineralized and trashy ground when searching for small targets. Reactivity is set at 2.5
