New XP Deus users or folks interested in Deus (info and videos)

This post meant to be more or less a one stop shop for Deus info for beginners or folks interested in Xp Deus metal detector.

I highly encourage all to read the version 4.0 manual.
There is a link below to the manual for your reading pleasure.

A lot of Deus units received by folks may indeed have 3.x manuals provided with their units.

After you use your new unit, go back reread portions of the manual.
And again repeat this.

It will take more than a few times to comprehend all.
And some in field use and testing will go a long ways in understanding some of what is stated in manual.

Deus is not a dead quiet running unit!!!!
It will chirp, if used to detect.
Don't be trying to get it not to chirp.

Deus, the way it IDs targets is a break away from tradition here when compared to most other Vlf detectors.
A person air testing their units, this air testing (as it relates to ID) don't paint true picture of how Deus actually works in the field.

A lot of what Deus can do, how it will sound, how it will react,,,these tendencies can be mimicked a great deal with on top of the ground tests using nonferrous objects and item made of ferrous commonly located in detecting sites.

Navigation of unit needs to be mastered.
The only way to do this is to navigate, and peek around.
Especially under the expert tabs.

Mineralization strength meter.
New users should heed the data this meter provides to user.
It can and will affect some settings as far as detector performance.

Ground balance
User has options.
KISS priinciple should be applied here.
A pumping GB over clean ground to start off with.

Understand the icons for pairing of devices as depicted on remote (if applicable)
and headphone remote (if applicable)

Understand the 2 boxes where ground phase data is supplied on remote.

Be mindful of silencer setting (filter) this setting will change on its own, depending on selected reactvity setting chosen.

Understand some audio volume while over deeper targets can be had with audio report levels 5 and higher.

Deus disc layout is not your typical disc layout.
If offers disc settings expressed in tenths with some disc settings.

New users IMO should steer away from all metal modes of detector excluding the use of pinpoint function.

Users should study the factory program settings depicted toward the rear of manual.

Users should learn what the term Vdi normalization means, and by turning this feature off,,,know how both means affect detector readings, and understand any advantages by using one setting or the other.

Understand Deus doesn't have a depth meter per se, ,,but does offer other means to judge depth (generally on coin sized objects).

Understand the notch feature.
It's use and affects is not exactly what a person would think, due to the way Deus IDs targets in the field.

When asking others for Deus advice,,,you should provide your soil mineral levels generally found in your sites.
Users should refer to the mineralization strength meter readings as low scale, mid scale or 3/4 scale.
Deus will behave differently here depending on what the mineralization index meter reads.

Users should learn how to marry their components themselves.
Very good chance your deus detector will arrive with all components married to one another.

Pay very close attention to proper charging instructions as far as how the charging clip is connected to coil.

Here is link with summary of what version 4 brings.

[www.xpmetaldetectorsamericas.com]

Here is link with actual Deus V4 users manual.

[www.xpmetaldetectors.com]

Now these links, when read and studied may cause some folks to asked some questions.

By all means ask.
With the talent of folks that visits and or post on this forum, you'll likely get an answer.


Here's a link with multiple videos talking about Deus.

[www.xpmetaldetectors.com]


MI-6 pinpointer users manual

[www.xpmetaldetectorsamericas.com]

Xp classroom and skills center videos.
[www.xp-detectors.co.uk]

Link to site showing VDI of coins, Etc.
VDI normalization on Deus needs to be OFF for all the data to be more or less correct. Remember Version 4 default setting is ON.

[www.metaldetectingworld.com]

Folks will notice the Deus Lite package.
This is package without remote.

Here is some info shedding light on the Deus Lite package.
You may see this referred to as Starter Pack.

Here is what you have access to via wireless headphone module.

Factory program number selection
Remember some of the slots will be blank--- due to no upload

Disc
Sensitivity
Ground balance-- only manual-- no tracking or pumping like you would have with remote

Frequency
Number of tones,, to include pitch and full tones

Sound volume

Coil selection-- in case you have more than one coil

So what does purchasing a remote with your Deus package, what does it afford user to do?

The following :
Assign Notch
Tone break setting
Tone freq setting
Reactivity
Silencer
Ground notch
Iron vol adjustment
Ability to monitor actual ground phase as coil is swept
Ability to gauge mineral strength of soil
Auto ground tracking
Pumping GB option
Vdi normalization option
Xy screen option
Update version option,, or downgrade version option
Tx power setting
Freq shift
Overload setting
Pinpoint function
All metal mode(s) selection

Additional comments here.
A person purchasing a Deus package without remote.
They can use another person's remote and infact update their headphone module and coil.

They can by using someone's remote, actually program their setup with programs that entail making changes to the settings outlined above. (Remote only viewable/adjustable settings)
If a user does this, they will not have a way to actually view (or change) these settings, but the settings will be felt by user when detecting.
So a person would need to write down their settings per slot number on remote to remember which settings apply.

Comment I made above as far as what is lacking settings wise for Deus lite or starter package.
I referred to wireless headphones use only.
This would also extend to folks who have headphone module only (no remote) who elects to use wired headphones plugged in to ( headphone) module adapter plug.
The headphone module can be fitted to top of rod for use/ viewing and plug wired headphones in for hearing audio.
Didn't want to confuse folks here.

To close here, there is also a Deus Handbook available, authored by Mr Andy Sabisch.
I have the book, and can recommend.
Also this same gent offers boot camp training sessions for Xp Deus operation.
I haven't been to a boot camp session, so I can't offer an opinion.
Details though on these training sessions can be found on the findmall forum, subforum Xp Deus.

That is a very helpful post many thanks for taking the time and effort to do that.

Yawn, more old news on a 5 year old machine that the REAL experts wrote the book on at the time you started detecting

Zzzzzzzzz (sleeping/snoring)

V4 isn't 5 yrs old.

Nope, you're right, V4.0 isn't 5 yrs old but what IS "old"

is this poser that keeps spamming the site with his regurgitated/copied information and in how he writes documentaries with the copied info as though he's the GOD/authority on detecting/every machine on the market

for all who don't know/realize who I'm talking about here = here's your clue

this "sod-buster" character is one and the same as THIS guy >> [www.dankowskidetectors.com]

that was laughed off this forum by many of the long time (decades upon decades) hunters/diggers who were (and ARE) tired of dealing with/seeing the spam he post via his armchair adventures and his self-proclaimed high IQ having, learned ALL there is to know about detecting in 5/6 yrs flat CRAP he spews on every forum across the board and fights/argues about with everyone because THEY're tired of it too and see right thru the BS too

he talks to us like we're idiots around here that need his almighty input of copied/pasted info/links by the pages full and/or linking back to other forums, other post, other's field test/reports, etc. by the 1000s and we're ALL SICK of it (you just don't hear it ON the open forum but believe me = MANY of us discuss this (him and his BS) via PM's and laugh to high heaven (as well as vent) in seeing/listening to some of the CRAP he spews

he post NOTHING ORIGINAL, no field test reports with video and/or actual hunts with pics, and original commentary/thoughts UNless it's one of his famous backyard hunts where he digs tin foil and pulltabs in the 1st two inches of his grass out back and then goes on to write a book on how he knows how to hunt iron, sees how great a machine/coil is, blah blah blah blah blah blah BLAH!

Hell, he ran 1/2 the long time posters/hunters with REAL info from decades of diggin off this forum with his delusional self-proclaimed know it all legend in his own mind CRAP,
they don't even post anymore because of it/him. Many here are P I S S E D off because of that FACT

Check the 1st page = just like when he was here with his other ID = he spammed the 1st page with 8, 9, 10 or more worthless/ripoff post over and over day after day which DROVE many away

Pretty bad when you can claim you single handedly drove many of the old timers with REAL/long term infield knowledge off one of THE best forums that used to be before you (he) showed up

Well , comparing tnss/Sod-buster's first post in the thread you linked to and this last post from you I would say it makes you look pretty childish actually. JMO
It's the simplest thing in the world to scroll right on past any poster whose message you are not interested in and evidently you haven't mastered that technique yet.
If you are continuously reading the posts when you know they are going to cause you angst and stress , then I think you may have a psychiatric problem. I don't know the name of it but I'm sure there is a name for it and I'm equally sure they will tell you what it is if you will just check yourself into the nearest facility. Winter is coming and I can't imagine what your stress level will be by Spring.

"You agree to be courteous in your use of the Dankowski Detectors and to refrain from engaging in personal attacks"

on a site i am working in tracking mode GB ref is 65... some badass mineralisation ..need to take it lower to 60

Additional information here.

I make comment above about Deus being chirpy detector.
It is true while using the 9", 11" and bigger LF coils. (Black versions)

But using the HF elliptical coil, Deus runs pretty much quiet.

Have used the round HF coil, but only in one location. Was a friends coil.
So can't give worthy opinion.

Looks like you are Johnny come late to this forum.

No videos or pics.
I have posted pics here, commentary too.

The host here hasn't posted any videos or pics on forum I don't think.
So go ahead criticize him.

Small world, go ahead and tell folks how many times you wanted to wrap Deus around tree.
Maybe you should have been here reading my posts. Lol

You're in luck.
There is always Barber College.
