Fors CoRe, ran it today for a couple of hours, Keith is gonna miss it!

I must say I'm amazed at how well this machine is built. Not many out there like it build wise if any. Ergonomics, superb! Balance, you don't even know you have a detector on your arm. They had to steal that from Deus lol. I have a feeling Keith is gonna miss this machine.......... Anyway, ran it around an old dilapidated barn across the street in the woods that I "have not" been able to get anything out of with probably 10 different machines. The difference has to be the small coil I ran today I'm thinking that came with the machine. Lot's of iron, real iron mind you, and nails along with just junk. That little coil is very very sensitive. What was mind changing for me was the moment it saw something conductive even when all around the target was iron, the machine would give a conductive sound even bleeding through and a target would be there. We removed, "my daughter is the other part of the we" we removed rusted knives, nails, door hasps, just bent rusted pieces of iron at, in, or near every hole when digging. The conductive stuff was there. Deepest target dug was about six or seven inches. The last thing we dug we couldn't find until we were about five inches down, it kept peeping through the headphones, and my babygirl being the pinpointer operator says I've got it but it's small, here, and she hands it to me. Appeared to be a 22 cal pellet gun pellet that was crushed on impact, not expanded looked like. I grinned from ear to ear when I realized that. I really feel like this machine is as fast as the Deus probably running a 2 or possibly 3 reactivity. The uncanny part was the ID's were dead on or one number above or below what the manual states when in the ground. That's crazy good! I'm impressed to say the least.

Small coil on the deus would be crazy cool when hunting iron.. Just slap it on and away you go...

No doubt Ray!-----Those Deus coils are crazy expensive.

Hey John-----I may have already posted this awhile back--can't remember---but---I contacted Deus a couple of months ago asking about any additional coils they will be coming out with.-----Their reply was that they are going to come out with a 5 X 10 (or thereabouts)--probably sometime in 2015.----That isn't considered a small coil but I think it would be a good coil on the Deus for some hunt situations.-----I'll probably try to scrape up the moola to get one when/if that happens--like Ray said--those babys are expensive.---------Del

Del....a 5x10 would be cool but for me, a smaller ( like 5-6 inch round shaped DD) would be better for some of the sites I am now hitting. Even with the crazy fast recovery speed and other options to make the Deus run optimal in these types of hunting situations (ie, tons of small iron every 2-3 inches), there are still way too many targets being 'looked at' with the 9 inch coil.

I did pick up the newer 11 inch coil for comfortable wet sanding and dry sanded spots with not a lot of trash, as well as now having the ability to allow another hunter to have fun with the Deus as well since I have the control unit as well as 2 fully functional headsets.

Sorry for taking the thread off topic Jack !

Don't worry about the off topic posting. The jest of my post really was about I've never ran a small coil that much. The CoRe is outstanding, the Deus would be unreal with a 5 or 6 inch coil. Maybe just unstoppable. We have to hunt mucho more trash than anywhere else here in the US.

The Deus would be very good with a small coil. But I feel it would never have the depth of the Fors Core. I love the Deus, but I am now at the point where Depth and the ability to hit small targets in iron is important.

Not sure there is enough room in a 5"- 6" coil for Deus battery and electronics .......

good point Silverhound.

It will be mounted on the top side (thicker webs) most likely.

Hey if it can be done by deus then they will do it

Rah, rah, sis boom bah.

That many people really going to spring for $399 for a 5"-6" coil? Everyone will want one until it comes out, then all the sudden 9" will be good enough.

Im with ya Steve. big chunk of change.

Yeah and $399 might be conservative, considering how each coil is basically an entire detector. There may be a base price no matter how small the coil.

For me it's economies of scale. If there are places I hunt where a 5-6 inch coil will bring the greatest results, then I need a detector with optimal performance that has ability to run a 5-6 inch coil. If I spend $400 on a small coil for the Deus, then I can sell other detectors I have that utilize 5-6 inch coils. Examples would be my DFX, F75se or X-Terra 705. Would not need them ( or some of the them), and the sale would fund the coil purchase.

My reasoning for wanting a small Deus coil !

All threads turn into Deus threads these days. Me, I will stick with wired units that use drop in batteries. I have been using the Deus but it is just not the kind of detector I want to toss in the back of my truck to roll around with the other prospecting tools. But mainly it really is a battery thing. I detect really long hours days on end, and have no patience with having to charge a coil, headphones, and control box. Its far easier just to have everything running off AA rechargeable batteries. That's just me folks. I can appreciate why you all love the Deus but for prospecting it is like driving a french made sports car down a rough muddy road.

Steve...maybe all the threads should morph into blonde vs brunette vs redheads !!!

We all know the answer to that...ALL THREE !!!!

If it comes out and the hunters on the other side of the pond love it and show how good it is then what's the problem? Money...sell something! If they don't come out with one or it's not a game changer time to move on...Anyone that owns the deus knows it cost money and a good chunk at that...Anyway there are a lot of others detectors out there and I am sure some new ones on the way..

I would be surprised to hear that guys in the UK searching fields the size of Delaware are demanding a smaller coil. All the threads on forums asking about 9" vs 11" have nearly all people weighing on in favor of the 11". But I do hope they make one for you anyway.

Glad you are enjoying the machine Jack!!

And It was nice meeting you...We will have to get together and Hunt that site South of there I was telling you about some time...

It had some Capped Bust coins in there ...Along with 1812 Relics...
