If I've read it correctly Rutus will be offering a multi frequency download for there Atrex model.
They say the multi frequency is near finished testing by different folk around Europe.

Very good video, does this explain why some of the videos in relic mode are getting big depth?
If I'm understanding correctly, if your running a setting of say 1 or 2 out of 5, a target at depth isn't being filtered and basically it's in all metal, so it could be a coin at 10" or a lump of iron?

I love researching new permissions, this is an abstract from the landowner's memoirs back in early 1800's.
I've went one to find items from the said church and silver coins of the period that i gave to the present landowner as he's into the history and mythology of the area as much as myself.(i also unearthed a WW2 mortar which needed the attentions of the army bomb squad to

That depth video is a waste of time, the detector isn't seeing the ground as the coil is stationary, might as well be an air test.
It is however perfect for sucking in the novice who will believe they'll get these depths in real life.

My only guess is that Calabash was moving the coin and nails closer and closer until the Nox just missed it, but the Deus was still hitting it.
Maybe there's only 1/2 inch difference between them, you won't know unless he runs it again.

I agree, pump a Deus coil in my front field and it's will quickly fill the mineral scale lol

I wonder is it just masking the EMI sound interference or actually able to remove it and it's effects?
I'd guess you'd know by doing a depth test below the power lines to find out.

Nice to see that it's at least as deep or deeper than the Nox, and much better than the old Deus.
That cut half at 7" is a tough target!

I think he did mention he had went through the programme's off camera and there was no difference.

Gotta say it how you see it.
From reports XP have just made all other SMF detectors old stock.
I think ML's claim of the Nox making single freq obsolete was pretty true, though i'm waiting on one more bit of info from a UK tester and my Nox will be obsoleted by the D2!
Such is life....

I wonder if ML will put out another update to counter some of the advantages the D2 is showing.
Tom did hint a fair while ago about an update giving more adjustment over iron bias and a bit more depth, maybe they could divide the ID scale into .5 increments, or a new salt balance setting etc??

Coke could jump in all over the scale on the original Deus, it was it's Achilles heel in my eyes.
If it's able to isolate it into a very small ID window it's a big bonus, but they say you get "nothing for free" in life.
The Nox registers coke as 1 or 2 in Field 2 and most folk just expand the iron scale and give it an iron tone, but it does mask a coin below it if there

Garry says the D2 has super fine target selection/rejection, and you notch coke out just like the Nox in F2.
Though the Nox will ignore it in F1 without notching, maybe it's built into it's programming or something.

May e the Deus2 will be the new deep seeker, or maybe it doesn't get the big benefit in depth from a large coil just the same as the Nox doesn't.

The user manual has salt sensitivity in the beach modes, i can't see anywhere that it points to using it on land programs, maybe Calabash could check this out as it would swing it for myself.

Really liking the Deus2, just not seen any performance advantage over the Nox as yet to make me spend.
It will be interesting to see how well it picks small low conductors out of mineralised pastures, which is a strong point of the Nox.

I love how Americans are proud of their country and get behind their flags and emblems, can't do that in the UK especially the part I'm from, your looked down on as a mental rightwing bigot!

I think this is from one of the French testers.
.
I finally tried the D2 on the beach for a few hours with the 22 cm coil.
Programs: GENERAL and BEACH SENS.
Excellent machine very comfortable in wet and dry sand.
The mineralization of sand due to salt is very well controlled and the few ferrous I met can be heard just right. A very light signature.
With the BEACH SENS, my favorit program, I

I'm still daily driving my 22yr old Land Rover Defender lol, 12 seater 185bhp and 3.5t towing capacity!
You should import a few of them as i believe they sell for big money in the US.
