I have a XP Goldmaxx Power and a XP ADX 250. I had a Fisher F75 and i can say that XP beats Fisher on recovery speed and depth even with 9 inch coil. Fisher is good but XP is a long way better. With 11 coil added to XP its illegal.

Deus is struggling different problems on soft. And coil battery is built in, changing it is very expensive speciali if you are not from europe.

You guys worry only for digging in the park for quarters and dimes. But where the Minelab shines its a old village spot where the 2000 years mineralization and nails and history lying down. Its very different situation. Fisher goes in this situation only 10 centimeters deep and not more, Minelab hits little hammered coin at 25 cm and more. Look at the european database, all old finds made only w

So i gave up, bought today Explorer SE Pro. Deus is not coming and i cant wait anymore. Fisher F75 retired today. But if Explorer doesnt work for me i stay with F. On some reason in Minelab forum in England all people coming back to ex or e trac after testing deus.

English hammered coins are different . We ( In Estonia) have some hammered coins from 14-15 century made in very bad silver. These are going to folium range. English coins made by higher silver content. On Fisher 75 english coins are 51-64 range ours are 21-39 range.

Tried it today, the new settings. Since the place was full of iron and detected more than 5 years, I did the following. Sensitivity 99, 21 Disc, 4H tone, Je Process. I discovered that the 4H hears shades of the masked targets better than the mono tone. In order to function 4H sound better is needed Disc to be turned 21. Disc 21 and 4H leaves only three sharp sounds, which makes hearing the sound

For Europe only Deus, Fisher or Etrac. V3 doesnt like soil in my country. And hammereds are too hard to find on V3. Deus is best then F75 T2 then Etrac.

This is what makes the cold stones to get up. Earth freezes and melts. In spring, as formulated, melt the frozen remains under rocks while the soil is melting all around. This raises the rocks a little bit upwards each year.
Sorry google translated.

As i heard the V3 is too slow and complicated. Detectorists here prefer Minelab E trac more. I owned E trac, Explorer, T2, XP Goldmaxx Power once again cordless headphones its a joy, Safari, Xterra 505, And now F75 and F75 is my favorite now. . F75 has very good section to hammereds 29- 39 ID. Conductive range on T2 is too small to notch out trash. On a medieval site you shoult pick up everythin

Trashi sites in my country means that 1000 years iron and nails laying there, i think we cant compare it with yours. I got promise that my Deus will be here next week, then i can test it against F75. I owned XP goldmaxx and it was amazing, cordless phones and 18kHz. I bought F75 because it has display. And numeric ID. Dont get me wrong F75 is a wery good machine and got me lot of hammereds but

Even old XP Goldmaxx Power hitted em at 6-9 inches. Deus is a 3 times faster and a half deeper.
F75 is a good machine but Deus is a better one and built to find cut hammered, romans and wire money (cut US dime to 4 peaces, size of a one peace is a wire money)

I noticed a small error on this test. If you keep nail and coin very close together you hear coin sound with every machine. Keeping a small nail and coin distance provides the correct result on a nail and coin test.

On our country where 2000 years history on the ground all Garretts are useless. Thats why i call it a toy. It can be used only in sand box. F75 and Goldmaxx power rules.
