Very helpful and well presented. Thanks for all your good work and sharing your wonderful videos

Cannot wait to see what minelab are bringing to the table .

Merrill, thank you for all the time you put into this video.

Thanks for all your hard work and input to help me decide on which detector I would like to purchase in the near future. You have a new suscriber now!!

Great Video and awesome information. Thank-you very much.

Merrill I love your honest opinion in this hobby.. You take the time and really break things down. Your Passion for the Hobby and Community is outstanding.. Send some energy into another Metal Detecting NYC Music video..

Once again, great video Merrill.

Great review Merril!! I’ve got a big bday coming up and was going to treat myself to a deus2 but honestly now going to wait for minelab’s response….the settings terrifying me…and I work in IT!!!!

great video! being thorough has it's advantages.

nice video! i cant wait to see what minelab is coming up with next, i was seriously thinking of getting a deus 2 when im ready to upgrade to multi frequency, but after seeing this i think ill wait to see if they work out the kinks in the next year or two. and thats if minelab doesnt blow everyone out of the water with a new evolution of the equinox. this is a very exciting time to be a detectorist, i LOVE a hyper competitive market forcing companies to be innovative

Thanks Merrill, great job👋👍

Really nice review, Merrill.

Loved this. Noticed quarters and dollar coins sound great and are 30 on the nox 800. Every machine is different. Thanks for all your work behind the scenes.

Thank you for your Honest opinion. It is a great judge of character!

Good honest review. I totally agree with you. Deus2 needs to work on some design features. Charging ports and so so on. Coming from the 800 I don’t feel like it’s much ahead of the nox. Super excited to see what minelab has in the works. Big plus like you said is ergonomics and it breaks down into a small package for travel. If it wasn’t for those two things I would have just stayed with my equinox 800.

Awesome video man!

Agree with what you said. I'd like to add that if you only have the 11 inch coil, you will struggle on pieces of land that is full of iron. You need the 9 inch, or even better, a (non-existent) smaller one. That would be another 400 Euro in my case. Won't to that, I still use my Rutus Alter with small concentric coil for those highly iron-contaminated locations. I do love my D2, love the ergonomics, love the audio and love to fiddle with the settings. What it needs is a small elliptical coil like the eliptical HF with the Deus1.

Ok let's get something straight i loved the video! Awesome video now there's alot of detectoriest out there me included that love to detect,but alot of us detecting don't have the knowledge to properly set, tune, balance a top notch detector, like Equinox, Deus etc, most of us want start and go machine , i myself love my Excalibur 2, have found over 300 rings, about 200 gold rings,and yes have step up to a Equinox, hoping to find more, but like many detectoriest we don't have the expertise to program correctly , so to me and others like Mr Mel expertly explained 1,600.00 dollars doesn't sound like a gold ring to me! here's hoping Minelab can up grade a new detector that can truely up grade , but have the easiest way to turn on and go machanics, again Mel awesome video i give you a 10

I might just be too old and fat but I don't find any attraction in digging deeper holes. I was writing that as you spoke about ergonomics for people with a heart condition, I just had a quadruple bypass while I'm waiting on back surgery. I should just look for the detector and gear for detecting along the beach, that would be easier for me and still get me out walking.

This machine will definitely make you work harder, if using the beach sensitive program.....Yes, you will be digging deeper than average targets with that program .......My advice if you were to use the Deus 2 at the beach would be to dial it back(sensitivity) so you don't get those super deep targets ......The Deus 2 has two other beach programs that can be used that won't go quite as deep as the beach sensitive program so, that's an option!.........For you Peter, the big advantage of the D2 is the weight of this machine. It's the lightest on the market as far as I know........Anyways, good luck out there!

Love your stuff Merrill keep it up 👍👍 Have both the 800 and ma deuce they’re both great I like fiddling around with detectors as you obviously do . I have and have had many .I’ll prob get the legend also but for someone watching their $$$ I think it’s hands down the legend comes in first , also for around what you pay for the deus2 you could have the 800 and the legend for backup! ……But if you hunt IN the water a lot the deuce might be your best option

very good video, thank you for this.. For me the Nr1 reason i would go for the XPD2 is ergonomics for sure, is that worth more, for me it does and for others maybe not, but i also love the pairing with the pinpointer, it just works well together (i used my deus 1 that way with the Mi6) sold my deus and waiting for a good sale with pinpointer together, they did that with the deus1 also, if it doesnt happen i will still go for the Deus2. Also the support from XP is amazing. One more thing, if you buy a high end detector and sell it 4-6 years later if you want to renew, you still get around 70% of your purchase price back.

We're forgetting that the Equinox has issues with leaking. I lost my Equinox in a rain storm not in the water!!!!! Rain!!!! The second had battery issues. If Minelab has another machine coming which they do I hope they take there time with this one and hopefully make in house instead of making them in Singapore using 6-9 year olds to put together.

Own a 800 with multiple coils and an Excalibur and have hunted since the late 1960’s and hunted with many different brands of detectors. Minelab multi frequency detectors were a game changer and I water hunted with Excalibur Sword for almost 20 years. Paid for itself many many times over. Just bought an Excalibur 2 Resently and love the simplicity of its operation. I now own a deus 2 and almost entirely spend all my hunting In the water or wet sand. Yes there is a learning curve and charging the unit requires some attention but the weight factor and possibilities in the settings seem worth the trouble. Yes it cost more than some detectors but in reality you get two detectors. I’ve moved the master from the wireless head phones to separate shaft And using wired ear pod headphones and running an antenna lead from the coil and locate the other end next to the master you now have a unit that is great for dry hunting and can wade in water up to the master Unit if I want to. Hope deus does come out with that larger coil they show in their catalog. One factor that everyone is equal with when it comes to metal detecting is the time and amount of area you cover. Doesn’t matter if you have a Radio Shack detector or a Deus 2. John-gulf coast of Florida

One thing I love when I use them, is the auto connect headphones. My friend spends 5-10 minutes trying to get his headphones to connect with his Minelab headphones, mine connects automatically when I turn the DEUS on.

Merrill, like #145 sir. As usual, another great informative video sir, BUT, it took me FOREVER to learn my Nox 800, even after having a Minelab 705 for 2 years lol. I am NOT even going to try to learn this complicated baby. Plus, I'm not shelling out that $1600, lol. I bought a Nox 600 when the 800 was indefinitely in the shop and I have both now and love them, so, I am sure some folks will use this to help them decide on getting a Deus II, but I'm as happy as a clam in water with my 2 Noxes.!!!

Your assessment on the economics of a machine is right on par. That is how I feel about a machine that's easy on the body. It will allow you to hunt longer which, can lead to more finds. No doubt about it, D2 is awesome at the beach......I've been swinging the Equinox every since it came out & D2 quickly took it's place..It has an edge on depth capability, lightness and, construction. It's also less likely to leak and you ain't going to break the coil ears off either.....I'm glad I got it!

Yeah, I been at this game for over 28 years & happen to know a little about this hobby & metal detectors....As you can imagine, I've tried just about every brand over the years. Minelab machines seem to be the detector of choice for me ever since the Sovereign Gt came out... Followed by The Excalibur (my favorite), the SE & E-trac and Equinox..Those older machines caused tendonitis in my elbow and would lead to shorter hunts... Though the Nox did help make things better on that issue. However, the D2 elevated the game for me on all fronts.............I haven't given up on Minelab though!..I have a hunch they have something special coming out in near future. We'll see!

I have found that I am walking circles around my friend with a Minelab Nox 800 for coins in trashy areas around old houses or places where there might be a lot of iron, this isn’t just a one off, this is after hunting together for 6 months, I get more Wheats, Silver, and Clad than he does. Several times we have hunted around old houses and I end up with 4-5 wheat cents and him non or one.. this has happened several times, as we cross checked signals he gets them when shown but I can definitely say it’s a coin where his Minelab gives a mixed ‘all over the place’ type signal..

While other people are seeing it pulling very deep targets, I have yet to pull anything any deeper than I have with the Nox 800, which I have pulled some very tiny silver coins, a foot deep with... and the stupid remote continues to fall off the shaft all the time.. and no larger coil for the Deus 2 yet.

As far as depth I think you are right, I don’t see that it goes any deeper than the Nox 800, the difference seems to be it’s ability to find coins and targets in high trash areas and give signals on coins or targets that other machines can’t seem to see.. I use the DEUS 1 for playgrounds because it’s ability to find small gold.. but DEUS 2 for coins in old environments.

The etrac has been a silver magnet. Is it heavy, well for me no!

Nice video Thanks buddy for your help They are going to send me a new Deus 2 new remote 👌🏻

Have you tried the new updated for the legend? Would love to see a video on that.

Started out nugget hunting about 25years ago, got into coin hunting more in the last 5 years. The Nox 800 is a GREAT machine & i still have mine, as a backup. The Deus2 is hands down a superior machine aside the charging setup & headset, those suck! We hunt the trashy of trashy sites old mining camps, Railroad camps, ghost towns can-slaw & junk everywhere! We pulled 7 coins out of a 12'x50' site with two 800s. Same exact spot with the Deus2 a year later, easily pulled 6 more late 1800s to early 1900s coins. Thats proof enough for me!

Hey Merrill, I think you need to try your Legend again as the new updates have really changed it. It has added features like headphone and speaker just like Dues. Legend is knocking it out of the park and they are not done...

I had a chance to compare the 800 to the Deus 2 on the beach last week. This is the first time I had the Deus out and have had the 800 out lots of times in parks and fields but only the beach one previous time. Initially the 800 killed it on the beach for me as my Etrac was too chattery and could not go under water. So last week I compared the 800 and Deus 2. I dug a ton of stuff good and bad with the Deus, way more than the 800. I went over the same area with both. I found finding the target before digging easier with the Deus than the 800. I also found myself fumbling more with the find out of the hole with the 800 note I do not use a pin pointer on the beach. This is probably just my poor experience. The Deus also hit quarters 12 plus inches down. I never hit anything that deep with the 800. I was also scared to take the 800 under water even though there is still warranty left. The Deus went under many times and I was confident it would be fine. The 800 swings firm with the detect-ed shaft. The Deus with a modified Simplex lower shaft felt firm but not as firm as the 800 with the full carbon shaft in the surf, note both detectors had a shaft change which does have additional costs making the 800 a cheaper solution. This beach test confirms to me the Deus is a keeper for me even at the cost. I got mine for 1300 since it was a new return. At a full 1599 I was hesitant. Yes it has some concerns, putting the coil wire on and wrapping it initially was a total pita. The lower shaft testing in a kiddie pool looked like a wet noodle. Mounting the wire to the pod was also a challenge until I got the wire twisted right to go under the clip. Taking the clip off and on could be an issue over time. I also did not like the rubber band which secures the clip to the coil. Pod mounting could also be better. I paid like 1600 for my Etrac and it needed absolutely no mods and has performed flawlessly. I hope that Minelab and XP step up the game yet keep costs down. Overall is it totally worth the cost, jury is still out as all I have is the beach comparison. If my curiosity had not gotten the better of me the 800 would still be my choice.

how do you know minelab will come out with a new detector around december? very interesting would like to know the source excellent video!

Hey Merrill... What a great video! I've been like saving my pennies to get the Deus2.. but in the back of my mind I love my minelab.... So about 2 months ago I sunk one of my 800s will be number four and of course it's under warranty so it's cool and they gave me a new control box. But I called minelaab and wrote them a letter... I was told how much I loved my machines but it's so unfortunate that I'm afraid to take it in the water because it's going to drowned..... And that's what gives the disadvantage to water hunting which I❤️of.. course Beach hunting is important too so I was inquiring to them you know what are they going to do next? And they couldn't elaborate but they said they definitely have something in the works and I was straight out with him I said well you got some heavy competition and they said that what they have in the works they're very excited about so as you said it could be the equinox 2? Anyway I'm going to save my money for that and I'm in hopes that this will be the ultimate waterproof machine and I'm sure that they're looking hard at the Deus to be able to minimum exceed with her new detector... Fingers crossed man 🤞 I'm always happy to say that the equinox has brought me much Taco Bell Joy recently 😆😂😆...🏴‍☠️

@MetalDetectingNYC

Жыл бұрын

That is very logical. It’s honestly a small improvement with the Deus 2.

btw Thank you for the review. I meant to say hi res. ID bounces on multi metalic objects. Generally it is accurate when the detector is properly adjusted and the object within range of the detection field. Maybe even in an air test but I wouldn't expect it. Just in case you don't understand the higher resolution machines will sound off even after an object that has been in the ground for years has been removed because they are whiffing the metallic oxides that have leached out. I'm certain you have experienced that with the Minelab detectors. The higher the resolution the greater response to those oxides. Can make it difficult in high trash to operate hi res.. That is another question. If hi res. is onboard how hi res. is it?

I’ve had my Deus II since April. Many of the features like beach and diving modes are great if you are into that. Being a woods and farm field Hunter I don’t think it’s worth the price. Also, if anyone has wanted to get smaller or larger size coil , good luck, because they are still not available. It seems they want you to buy another detector to get a different sized coil. I’ve gone back to my Deus 1 for now and will probably unload the Deus II.

Merrill, The Deus 2 manual, page 37, says that when the coil is charging the light is “constant.” If it’s blinking, it is either not charging, or is finished charging. From 14:22-15:08 you twice state that the coil is fully charged when the light is solid. That is one reason your having trouble charging your coil. I find that I do need to prop the charging side of the coil up, off of the ground, to get proper contact, but yours seems to be having a lot more trouble. Have you checked the pins, on the underside of the charging clip? One may be bent or broken.

Lol! No don't spend the money. Stick with what you got. I have used a lot of detectors whites, Minelab, Nakota, I use right now Nox 800 4 years and got a lot of gold. Point, you don't need that power you think, most gold ring 3-8 inches are very good conductors. I use sensitivity on the Nox 3 yes 3 and dig a lot of gold rings and I know my machine in the dirt. I use Excalibur for the water and love it. Oh, I don't dig coins in the dirt not looking for silver 8-19 dig dirt. I dig everything in the water. 30 rings total for July. 40 years of detecting~ Indiana

I just ordered this machine in a package that includes a pin pointer and finds pouch and headphones for $1300 and free shipping. I’m currently waiting like a little kid waiting for Santa.

True high resolution all metal mode? I mean to ask if it will ID a target by conductivity of a metalic object by its conductive content regardless of size? For example GTI 2500 or DFX or v3i concentrics? The thinking is to use the high resolution to get the pure gold vdi from the higher grades of jewelry as a time saver. I know the defect is the vdi flips around in high res. but it beats digging foil and aluminum scrap all day. DD vs. concentric w/hi res.? Is there a concentric for the detector?

I have big forearms because I'm 6" 3 270 lbs) and I can't get my arm in the cuff on it unless I force it. Should be bigger. I don't have that problem with the nox 800.

I just got a Deus 2, it seems a nice companion to my CTX3030. Since the thing finds money, I do not see how price has much to do with it.

The Legend is better than Equinox in my opinion. I have both. It could me my personal preference but I choose it. Deus 2 is overall better by ergonomic and target locking, and more software adjustments but is also more unstable and noisy. And more difficult to learn. But yes ergonomic is a key. More time, more terrain scanned.

Also Xp will be coming out with a 12x13 coil for the D2....

Just a thought on the 2 silver dollar target IDs. The Morgan is 90% silver and 10% copper, the Liberty is 99.9% silver. Could the Deus be reacting to the copper in the Morgan and lowering the ID? I'm A Nox guy, but I'd be interested in what the Deus would ID the Liberty with a copper penny laying on top of it.

Deus ll remote that takes time to understand if you don’t use it right or understand the unit you will loose out on really nice targets if you understand pc / laptop’s & willing to understand this french made computer you will benefit big time. It’s not a machine you grab & go. Thank You

There are the WS6 Headphones and the Deus 2 Puck metal detector

Seen enough of this one.

I heard of some equinox owners that bought the Deus 2 are selling the Deus and going back to the Nox. They are so close but the Nox just works like a clock which leads to more finds and a lot less quirky. Excited to see what Minelab brings out next. Competition makes everyone better!

A couple things in the Deus’s favor. Two controllers. If you forget, lose, or break one you can still hunt. Longer warranty that I still haven’t seen many people need. If your machine is having warranty work done then you can’t use it. Some people have had to send their nox in multiple times for repair. Not everyone is using a d2 and because of this you may find items the nox missed. It happens with all new machines. My nox was a great machine and still the one I recommend the most for newbies. I sold mine when the warranty was about to expire. As far as the nox replacement goes, you can be sure that it will be a lot closer in price to the d2. To my eyes the Nokta legend looks to be a more interesting machine than the nox.

Thank you for the Vid:-), in the moment the D2 isn't worth the 1600 Euro why? Because there are many bugs in it like the silencer on2 that doesn't work properly, a grabsound on iron, iron ID all over the place from low to high, fulltones don't work as it should, so no the D2 isn't worth the money right now, perhaps an update could help if not keep you're D1!!

Deus is low key the king metal detecting24 is a legend mero I needs a channel 😂😉😎

As far as your comments with the deus2 , I think the price tag is a little on the high-end when you consider many other experienced detectorist out there that can find targets just as good or as deep as the deus with a detector that doesn't break the bank,, Most people out there are not as fortunate as you are when it comes to the price of detectors and having the best there is,,,

I’m fortunate and thankful because people watch the channel. I try to reinvest as much as I could and report back.

19 metal detectors?! 😱

Merrill 👌👍🏼 Deus 2 in Australia $2500 🙄

welp.. i guess ill wait till next year and see what hapen

To most too alot of detectorist the T2 is probably ones best choice. Its fast it can go deep its,,its really splitting hairs with the deus a d others in most scenarios imo. Any multi is so terrible in EMI that most run in in single frequency anyway, around 14 khz, and t2 is 13khz with good tones also. Tit for tat is where we are still at it seems for the most part. It's not like there are not videos out there where the t2 hit targets the nox and deus failed at, and vice versa. Coil options are more important to me than a 2 thousand dollar machine that pretty much performs the same. Jmo

J’adore l’Amérique mais comment ce fait il qu’il ne fabrique plus de détecteur de métaux qui surpasserait tout les autres avant il y avait le tesoro le garrett le white fisher maintenant plus rien minelab n’est pas américain c’est australien c’est bien dommage

U should be sponsored by one of 2 Co. Minelab or deus. Take your pic Merrill?

Conductivity means the electrical resistance of the target - how easily electricity flows across it. If the smaller target has purer silver, the conductivity will be higher than the large target that might have copper, zinc or other impurities in it that lowers the conductivity. Size should not have anything to do with the conductivity. A tiny silver dime will have a higher reading than a huge copper half penny because the silver conducts more than the copper. The government probably cheated on that larger silver coin by allowing some impurities along with the pure silver - .980 percent pure versus .995 or some such, and the XP detected that.

So I've had the Deus 1 since 2010 one coil available nine inch controller sw4 headphones same shaft version 3.2!!! From then on and through all the upgrades introduction and elleven coils which include two Hf ,,three original LF three legacy three X35 and two HF plus the M-16 and of course SW5 headphones😊 Xp Milked the Deus 1 And why not it was the best out there for many reasons other manufacturers could only play catch up. With the pre set programs and many variouse settings it is a very comprehensive single switchable frequency machine which has even now a fantastic owner based following especially in the UK and other European countries where detecting is legal. There has been a tremendous amount information shared settings video clips many from XP s official source so now twelve years of my ownership of the Deus1 a constant has appeared this has come from thousands of users and that is the so called hot program it's the most widely used setting within Deus 1 users fraternity this is consensus of opinions from the many thousands of users they can't all be wrong. I've put the Hot program in mono section of the Deus 2 and will now wait to see what will turn out to be the most used setting by consensus may take a while ...

Just detected a bit of my iron and foil contaminated garden not detected before. Deus 1 first. Only foil. Equinox, lovely victorian lead horse, door knob, pen nib, old penny, brass nut. The Nox really picks the artefacts out. I am not so sure the D2 would fare as well. D1 small elliptical coil Nox small elliptical coil. The D2 does not even have a small elliptical.

I have to disagree with your ergonomics evaluation. Even though deus and D2 are lighter the 11" coil which has the battery in it is nose heavy. I don't like swinging it. 9" coil is lovely though!

Get the detecting doodads charger for the coil.... problem solved.

XP Deus II in sensitive FT punched through fill and based on tone only found deep WW2 soldier art, 1600 smickshteen hundred. If it pays for itself, and it has.

@@MetalDetectingNYC I did enjoy this. I have to remind myself to be thankful for your contribution to my evolution as a detectorist. The earth sciences concepts you introduce are very important to getting in the zone. I actually did justify the Deus brand for the ergonomics, though i do feel like a bit of a tester with the D2. I think i got a hot one.

What’s the answer to the question posed in title of the video?

Yep worth every penny

Coil charger doesn't work properly if sat on a flat, hard surface. It will disconnect itself over time. Build quality is horrible for the price. I've broken the mount for the rc unit from general use as have other people. Parts are very scarce in Australia. Still no coils available. Even finding a replacement FC mount was a mission. Charger is a pain too. The stock cable falls out of the headphone port as its just a cheap connector and doesnt fit properly. It outperforms the Nox in some situations but is it worth it? No. not for more than double the price. Had my Nox for 3 years and had no issues. Had this for 6 months and its had way more problems and zero support. Emailed our supplier and XP directly and no information on support questions. XP never even bothered to reply. I would recommend waiting for the next Minelab release and give this one a miss.

I'm 71 years old, and I've only been metal detecting for about 10 months now, my introductory detector was the minelab Vanquish 540 which, in my opinion is an excellent introductory metal detector. 3 months ago I felt a need to upgrade to something a bit more sophisticated. It was a toss up between the Equinox 800 and the nokta legend. I saw too many postings from people who had issues with the Equinox 800 either getting flooded or having parts break. I went with the legend. I think it's a superb metal detector at a more than superb price tag! As far as my need for depth, I live here in South Florida, 99% of my detecting is done on the beach. And the targets I'm looking for on the beach are usually not deep, targets that are dropped by people within probably the past 72 hours, rarely more than five or six inches deep. The legend and the vanquish 540 do a great for me in that respect. I'm sure the Deus2 is a fantastic machine, but it has 90% more bells and whistles than I will ever need! I'm curious about the upcoming mine lab manticore, but I think I'm going to wait and see whether that company puts any effort into avoiding the breakage and flooding issues that plague the equinox series. Thank you Merrill for a very comprehensive video . 👍

My humble opinion and a burning query: I get it that the machines that you like are the ones that you are swinging the most BUT for the rest of us poor folks NOT buying a soon to be “older model” NOX or an overpriced long learning curve (not to mention the poop charging arrangements) Deus 2 pretty much leaves us with your currently number one rated Legend to purchase, which I have and really like. (please pardon the run on sentence). I bought it heavily based on your evaluation and head to head comparison of the machine to the NOX 800. Now for the burning query part: Why for, how come you not swinging (seldom) your number one rated detector The Legend so us new fellows can learn the machine more better from an experienced detectorist ( that would be you). Thanking you in advance for your time and consideration Your Fanboy Brad PS TRASH PANDAS RULE!!!!

Question is will minelab give you a 5 year warranty on the next generation detector?
