To help shorten this learning curve I also recommend building your own test bed that you can use over and over. Bury junk targets, relics, and coins. Try to go out there for 20 mins every day for 2 weeks and just listen so your brain and hearing register those targets. If you do, this it will make a huge difference in your recovery of good vs bad targets. But What About The Advanced Features of The Deus II? Fast Multi Frequency is an enhanced variation of the Multi Frequency technology that includes faster Recovery speed. The FMF allows the metal detector to scan the location using all available frequencies at the same time. This way, the metal detector works on its peak efficiency, reaching to different types of targets on different depths, and showing results faster. FMF technology not only increases the speed of metal detecting as such, and increases the efficiency of search showing all potential targets possible, it also provides as much information about each potential target as possible. FMF enables the search on any type of location, giving way broader opportunities for the user. Single Frequencies Overall, the XP Deus 2 did what is expected from such an advanced machine, and this is what was found: WS6 MASTER (+WSA II or WSA II-XL): The WS6 has a graphic screen and virtually all the controls available on RC.

XP Deus II has many expert features, settings, and tech specs that will make the search as efficient as possible. Of course this is not a beginner level machine, and the features listed below need some previous knowledge and expertise to make use of them. But when mastered and set correctly, they will allow the user to take advantage of the numerous variations of the settings combinations for all kinds of environments, locations, and targets. Fast Multi Frequency– this outstanding technology enables the search using many frequencies simultaneously, with fast recovery speed, working for all types of targets Previous versions 0.6, 0.71, and 1.0 are still available online and accessible thanks to the new updater. For a beach, you can set the determination to cut out certain unwanted objects, and the sensitivity levels can be high while engaging the Beach button. Due to the XP Deus 2 being fully wireless, you have an unlimited range of motion. With the W.S. 6 headphones, you have the perfect treasure-hunting tools. Mono Frequency option– 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz enable narrower, more specific types of search, working with certain terrains and targets

XP Deus II Search Coils

I see so many people posting comments on various forums and Facebook groups that all they seem to be find with Deus II is junk. Let me be clear about Deus II, you will dig your fair share of junk targets ( at first). You have to dig a fair share of these junk targets to get your ears tuned into what is junk and what isn’t. There are slight differences in the tones that you have to learn and listen for. The XY screen can help you learn those differences by presenting a visual but the XY display isn’t 100% full proof. Your hearing is what will help you make that decision to dig a target or not. The image below is a result of 2 hunts where I dug every target to understand what I was up against in the beginning. Results of 2 hunts where I dug just about everything Overall Performance: This is where the EQX was superior to my original Deus. The multi-frequency/multi IQ of the EQX vs the selectable single frequency of the Deus was an obvious choice in my salt water beach hunting environment. I eventually sold my Deus for that reason. Now, if XP has really overcome that limitation in the Deus II with their FMF feature, I'll be happily impressed. Nor do I see a Deus 2 replacing this telescoping Equinox with 6” coil for light weight compactness and ability to work in tight quarters. Also a decent deep seeking discriminating pinpointer for use with a PI detector. Deus II has a control box and also a remote control. Both work with the headphones, but the combination of remote control and the headphones create a convenient and handy pair that make metal detecting easier, because the metal detector becomes lighter when the control box is taken off. I’ve also done a few videos that are not necessarily for beginners but they go into detail in a couple of areas that are worth mentioning. The videos below go into details based on the following topics

The XP Deus 2 has a unique feature in its G.B. menu called ‘Magnetic.’ It has the option to Accept or Reject. You can switch on the magnetic accept option for the most stable operating conditions. Testing The XP Deus 2 With Program #11 – Beach Simultaneous Multi Frequency (40dBµA/m at 10m) or between the 49 singlefrequencies from 4 to 45 kHz. DEUS II has the advantage of offering a wide range of programs suitable for all ground and search conditions. The XP Deus has the option to fit 5 different coils and could pair with the remote control, its headphones, and the optional pinpointer within seconds.XP Deus II is a lightweight, ergonomic new metal detector following the state of the art technologies and design. With its S-shaped telescopic stem, Deus II allows using either the control box, or the headphones XP WS6 control panel, thus making the operation more convenient and customizable for the user. Deus II is even lighter and handier, plus, being completely wireless sets a new level of quality other manufacturers may struggle to catch up with. The search coil, the remote control, the headphones, and also the pinpointer can all be paired, and communicate with each other wirelessly, using the XP patented radio protocol system. This advanced system provides smooth performance and reduces the risks of damaging the whole thing. XP is once again at the forefront of metal detection technology, pushing the limits by giving detectorists exactly what is asked for & indeed required to get the best results either inland, in freshwater, or indeed in saltwater thanks to their FMF® (Fast Multi-Frequency) technology. The advanced and proprietary FMF or Fast and simultaneous Multi Frequency gives you the option and freedom to choose between 49 single frequencies. These frequencies range between 4 and 45kHz. At 4kHz, you can locate items at a greater depth. The XP Deus 2 has all these features: fully waterproof to 20m, the FMF frequency range, and bone-conduction headphones. The truth is the price reflects the quality of what you’re getting and the fact that it’s lightweight combined with its superior ergonomics will allow you to hunt for longer, resulting in more finds. XP Deus 2 VS. XP Deus

The Minelab Equinox is one of the best selling metal detectors on the market today. With its Mulit-IQ Technology and wide range of features, being light weight, and easy to use the Equinox is a great metal detector for the money. But is there something better? After 20 hours, slowly start making small changes and test those changes to determine the impact those changes have on your Deus II.

XP Deus II Key Features

The very first accessory that should be paid huge attention to is of course the innovative, groundbreaking bone conduction headphones for XP Deus II. This technology has never been used in the hobby metal detecting niche before. The XP BH-01 are waterproof up to 65 feet.
