A Deus with a 9hf coil in the hands of a experienced user will out hunt a 800 in the thickest iron on average.
I am very capable with both machines and they compliment each other very well. The Equinox hunts iron very well but the Deus is a better pure iron hunter IMO...
One thing to think about Tom is the Deus will give a 4 star signal on a lot of targets another detector might not even see

BTW I noticed from the video that the iron audio was not coming in...It is machine gun iron under the coil . This was a (Working) plantation from the 1700s that went up thur the Civil War. Iron is horrendous...Big iron, small iron , and thousands of square nails...

Yeah that sounds tough.... My main point is this .IF someone is going to learn the Deus they need to set it up as a starting point and leave the settings alone. The Deus acts like a different machine when you change some of the settings...so every time you change it your basically going backwards in the learning curve...

Plain and simple test in my mild ground....Other brands run circles around them on depth and separation...
I draw my conclusions about Garrett Detectors from that set of facts....I never judge a detector by finds......tie a pinpointer to a stick and hand out 20 million of them and some GREAT finds will be made as metal is a game of odds.
If Garrett makes you happy by all means stick with th

I dont doubt it being a GREAT beach hunter and have said as much.....
My complaining has been about the lack of butt whooping videos to back up these claims about what a good relic machine it is iron ......The claims seem to be this thing is sure of its self in iron...deeper than the Nox in hot ground....
SHOW us some clear video evidence of it whooping the snot out of the Equinox.

All I asked was to be shown the footage of it spanking the Equinox because I felt it was being hyped up.... It has been out 18 months there should be videos flooding youtube by now if that is the case..
Like some of the other detectors that have went by the wayside....
I find it very curious that there are NO REAL videos of putting a butt whooping on the Equinox. I was also told to do my own
