Still love my Deus 1 !! An Amazing machine for 12 years and still going strong.

I had the Nox 800 from new, and bought a seconhand D1, as the nox doesn't like light airy fluffy dry conditions
The D1 is brilliant on all conditions at any time.
And with the HF combo its amazing on minralised roman sites.
And to be honest i use the D1 all the time now, and use the Nox for deeper targets fields .
I think side by side the Nox has it still on depth for sure.
I wish i could detect on nice flat drilled fields though
Perfect detecting conditions

I bought a second hand Deus1 and I have never looked back :) it was great value and I still use it every weekend ( had to eventually replace the batteries though!) - thanks for another great video Gazza!

Hello chief. My coil turns off during detection, randomly. Xp deus lite. What's problem? Thanks

[michaelbezoski]

Have the same set up. My problem on the south shore of Lake Erie is aluminum. Its everywhere of all types. Usually around 95 or so. Hard to ignore & have some unusual shapes of "blobs". The Deus 1 with the HF coil is a good all around detector for all around use especially with your Skill School training. Thank you Gary. Cheers

The deus one and two compliment each other especially with the hf speciality coils on the deus one, with both machines you have all detecting applications covered 😮😮😊😊😊

thanks again, Gary. I'm absorbing you videos for my next UK visit. Best, Steve

was gonna let go of my Deus 1 after getting the D2 but it took me a step back when i saw how low the prices people are selling them 3 coils for under 500 bucks i told myself Nah, my D1 will be a keeper coz when everything else failed in my arsenal of detectors my D1 is proven winners.
Deus 1 will always be a part of my detecting machines, a backup of a backup - a loaner for someone new who would like to get into metal detecting. many say it's hard to learn the Deus, I would say it is not! beginner ofter wander off to technology, Deus 1 can easily be use by using program#1 and start finding stuffs. you can always use it as a Beep and Dig machine. Dig everything when you are learning the hobby and your machine quit tinkering the advance settings it will prolong the process of learning and often time frustration will follow ending up beating the detector to a tree. thank you Gary Blackwell!

Have deus one and two as well as manticore, my go to ....deus one just love the thing.

Single frequency still can get it done. UHF coil is it compared to Deus 2 at 40K or am I way off? Congrats on a the roman coins. Thanks for sharing.

[lecarnute]

i have the same detecting style as you, and my deus is doing very well with both your hot2 or sonar program on similar roman sites

[dannykenealy]

How would you set up a D1 for pasture perm. I'm just using hot program but only digging shallow targets

[tdwilcox]

Great video . Is it beneficial to have the the HF 9 inch DD to go with my HF elliptical coil . I like the Elliptical but not so much a fan of the X35 . Thanks .

[neilstorey]

Great session Gary, nice to see you out with the XP Dyson 1, hoovering up all those little romans 😊

[Archtops]

I have the Deus I and II.
I LOVE MY DEUS I with the HF Round and Elliptical Coils.
