Re: Nokta Makro update on Legend detector shipping dates and user's manual availability - 1 year ago
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....by ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Nox update? - 1 year ago
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??by ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: More Deus II - 1 year ago
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 thereby ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: More Deus II - 1 year ago
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.by ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Best deep pasture machine ? - 1 year ago
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.by ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
Re: Deus 2 with Calabash at the beach. With special guest Minelab EQX - 1 year ago
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.

Re: XP DEUS II VS MINELAB EQUINOX 800 DEPTH TEST - 1 year ago
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.by ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: New Deus 2 video. - 1 year ago
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, Iby ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum

Re: CHECKING IN - 1 year ago
Probably the only manufacturer that says to ask them questions, then answers your question saying they know it has performance advantages over the competitors product that they used in their advertising video, but then they won't tell you what those advantages are? .

Re: CHECKING IN - 1 year ago
Personally i thought it was a very fair question, considering you said it was better at certain tasks. So if someone else asks the same question, will you answer it?by ghound - Thomas Dankowski Metal Detecting Forum
