Video from yesterdays beach hunt showing how the XP Deus II is great on small jewelry and deep coins. The high frequencies on the beach and factoring in salt sensitivity are definitely game changers. Happy hunting !

I have been on these hunts with Cal I can attest to everything he does ! The dime he dug the other day with me was the best hole I have ever seen him dig to get that seated dime.I doubted him when he thought he had something and boy did he prove me wrong.The Equinox is a deep silver seeker no doubt in my mind at all. In mild soil I don't think any machine is any deeper based on what I have s

Went back to a site to try and do some mop up duty, to my surprise and Calabash Diggers we found there was still some meat on this bone. Great couple of days hunting and we also got to check out a new permission that we both are extremely excited about getting back to. Highlights were a Confederate SC Button, 2 seated dimes, an 1853 Enfield tompion and, an 1828 Large Cent as well as other relics.

Also if you are familiar with Minelab products you will not have any problem with the turn on and go aspect.Only downside is it is not waterproof. The bala

Once again down the muddy road to the river. Hit up the site that has produced numerous buttons and then went on to explore some other areas. I used the XP deus and the evo program with the reactivity cut down to 2.5. Dug some flats, a thimble, a spent cartridge, and what I feel confident were 2 military 2 piece buttons Heartbroken to say the least.The XP Deus performed great and continues t

Went back to my new permission that I went over last weekend with the equinox. The area is probably about 12x12 so pretty small area. I dug 14 buttons out of that spot last weekend with 4 of them being Military. Site was loaded with heavy iron so I decided to try the deus and to my surprise I dug 2 more military buttons as well as 4 more flat buttons. It is nice to have both of those machines
