ANYONE close to my, and yes I have video showing 80% of all my 8.92oz of SILVER in JUST over and basically 3/4 months of 2022? I'm waiting... Year 4 hunting here... And yes being able to curb hunt a 13k population city without any competition is why I have all this. Js

Morning Merrill! The bullet at 29:50 is what's called a "wad cutter", they're commonly used in target shooting competitions because they make a nice, neat round hole in paper/cardboard for easier scoring by a judge. Happy hunting!

Merrill, i missed the premier. But man I am loving my deus 2. I have dug so many cool thing with it. Today was no exception. I got 3 silvers in one day. A 1900 O Morgan silver dollar, a 1907 Barber quarter, and 1918 SLQ!!!! They are amaizing machines. This was one of my best days ever!!! Keep up the great work!

Greg do you think if you were using the last detector you used, you would not have found those great coins? Six months ago, I dug a 1921 Morgan that was at least 9 inches deep with my NOX 800, in dry dirt.

“But I need to know….Can you take it out for like 3 years tomorrow….” Lol

Hi Merrill..and everyone..Just got home on the west coast …found 3 rings..woohoo

Even got a laugh at your shadow when walking to the seated dime haha.

My Nox has found many non-ferrous things with iron attached. I just pulled a wheat that was under 3 nails in my last vid. It's really good at hearing past iron.

Also the 14 incher is a toe tap. 1830s-1870s

the leather/lead thing is a bridal rosette and the copper grilz is a toe tap. Great video Merrill!!

The 12" deep brass thing is a toe tap. Mid to late 1800s

Merrill, that was a great pull. I have a few things to say about the Deus tho. First, that silver quarter covered by a rock was interesting. With my nox, I have had the same thing happen to me, rocks throwing off signals. When I dug out a test garden and buried a large cent, the signal always sounded like iron. When I finally dug it back up, there was a rock next to it, and after removing it the signal sounded normal. That issue wasn’t present on the d2 obviously. Also, when hunting older sites with modern contamination, try using full tones in the square program. It sounds like the nox with Deus tonal nuances. Great hunt! -Wil

Very interesting Will. Ive never made that observation with rocks and the Nox. I know the composition of rocks vary greatly.

I know you've been told by now. It's a toe tap. I'm watching this and thinking the same things you are as I learn this new machine. Still having trouble with deep iron fooling me. I mostly use deep hc, fast and senci ft. Thanks for sharing. 🤙🏼Chris 🤙🏼

Regarding the lock with the brass key hole cover, that piece of brass was very solid/ dense piece. I’m not surprised that it was detectable with the Nox!

nice vid and hunt Merrill. I like General in square audio, 5 tone. Really picks up the highs nice.

That looked like a heel saver; sheet metal with multiple nail holes. The bullet was a wad cutter, makes clean hole in paper.

Switch that deep HC into five tone and then switch it into square tones you will hear some familiar equinox sounds. Also will help eliminate some of the mid-range junk from the actual good targets

Side silver quarter would have sounded better with the 11" coil on the Nox. 15" coil on the nox is not a fair example when comparing pinpoint targets deep. 11" should be compared to 11" coils for more accurate comparisons.

Merrill,You two pull some nice finds,great job and I enjoyed it and good Luck to you two.

Coming from someone who has well over a year on the equinox and well over a year on the deus 1 in my opinion there's a huge difference especially in the separation department. The deus has absolutely cleaned up behind my equinox on a lot of permissions especially in heavy iron and heavy trash. Now having the D2 and getting some decently serious hours in on it I can say it is completely different from the equinox and the D1 it is definitely much deeper than both but still separates I'd say as well as the D1 when it comes to heavy trash and with the Deep High conductor program with full tones and square tone you can almost duplicate The equinox same with the five tone program and square tones if you like the equinox sound. High School place The equinox above the legend the legend has some quirks as far as not being able to see silver at depth 100% of the time it gives a lot of false low tones and sometimes no tones requiring multiple swings at times to get a signal on Deep silver amongst other quirks they still need to be worked out I would still take the equinox 800 or 600 over the legend at this point. So for me the D2 would be on top. The equinox and the D1 would be tied for different reasons the D1 being the better separator and much better in trash especially iron the equinox being better in Open Fields and much easier to use(less experience needed) in parks, I would put them tied at 2 and the legend coming in at 3

I designed metal detectors in the early 70s. My tests show the Equinox beating the Deus1 in separation in iron by a country mile. You must have the wrong settings on the Nox I suspect . I tested both using 9.5x5 elliptical coils. My Nox beat my Deus 1 and the Deus scanned the area first and missed almost every artefact. I did set the recovery to 7 or 8 on the Nox in the iron infested test area which gives the required recovery speed. You can’t use the factory standard settings. 11” coils do not work among dense iron. I would never take the Deus 1 into dense iron. However the Deus 1 can do well in magnetic soil if the iron is not too dense. Choosing the right machine and coil type is critical as are the settings and modes. I use both machines and swap about when needed.

That deep signal was a toe tap or heel tap. Good pull. The bottom of the cane could be a measuring weight. The thing on the end of the Liberty Dime Woman's stick is actually her 'Liberty Cap' - not a hobo bag.

Hi Merrill I’m from the uk - I use Nox 800. I’ve noticed with silver on the edge that field 2 / park 2 would hit it vs using field 1 which doesn’t always. Field 2 and Park 2 more sparky but work great at silver on the edge. Just a thought.

Good hunt, I will give you tip with the deus 2 I have had it for a few months now and have done a lot of testing and hunting with it. I wouldn't recommend hunting in full tones on ground with a lot of iron any coins close to iron will be over whelmed by the iron, I have found this out with the elevated nail test. I find a discrimination of 6 and 3 tones gives separation but only in general and sensitive. I always hunted in full tones with the deus 1.

29:43 is a .38 Long Colt bullet. They aren't old enough to be considered 3 ringers, but they do date to the turn of the century.

Deus II is setting a new benchmark in all around detecting.

What shovel are you using? Thought I bought a decent one and bent it my first day out with it.

Next time, you pin point on a quiet doubtful signal on equinox....that, deus can ear, switch to gold mode, (horse shoe) iron off first , and try, then engage iron...and read the screen number...If switch no negative....it s iron....If move 15 to neg....could be big iron, nice curve nail...or cast iron....but iron. I find the noise annoying on gold 2 mode....but I find the I.D work good to determine if iron or not. I know, people will say..can t use gold mode in park.....but on a quiet field....work so good, but you need to check more on the screen number than the annoying sound. Also...I notch nothing, then, compare with Deus..and dig. Was it iron...or not.....last week, a real 2, 1721, and i still dig the strong iron anyway...could be a trade axe...or a part of tool, but work well on lead, brass buckle and coins for sure....and sadly, aluminum .

The flat headed bullet is a wad cutter .38/357 revolver calibre if memory serves me right mainly used for target shooting comps. Cheers👍👍👍😎💨🏴‍☠☮☮

Jeffs coil being big, straddled the iron and target causing conflicting signals. I use field 2 and special below zero notching and zoning. But also 15kHz too. Also I would have set the iron bias lower. But the Deus II is impressive in wide open areas like that. But what about in double machine gun iron with only 4 inches or less between iron and ferrous targets very close to old properties? 500 year old relics come up there if the coils are narrow enough to get in between.

Eliminate as in notch? Yes. Eliminate as in separate targets exquisitely? Yes. Eliminate as in have various volumes to set for different targets? Yes. Eliminate as in have ground tracking? Yes to a certain extent but the technology is different. The Nox tracks and averages the ground. The Deus effectively manages the nuances of changing ground, but it does it differently.

@@MetalDetectingNYC On the Nox I can set different tones and volumes for real iron and Ground Iron Oxide all below 0 zones. And using notching also below 0, I can switch the ground oxide chatter in and out using the horse shoe. On an open field finding oxide in the ground can point to human habitation in the past. When I find the area I switch off the ground chatter with one button push to just hear the iron and non ferrous. I could not do this on the D1. Can you show the D2 doing this. Cheers from England. Also the Nox completely outclasses the D1 in dense iron both with the small elliptical coils. The guys here saying the D1 is better in iron must be setting up the Nox wrong. With the small elliptical coil the Nox kills it in dense iron terrain. I am talking about real iron every 6 inches and 9 iron objects to each hole. Serious iron! and the Nox pulls real non ferrous artefacts too. Dense iron is a sign of dense human habitation. Auto ground tracking has to be off in dense iron,you can’t use it. ! Perhaps that is the problem (and sensitivity has to be lowered to go deeper)👍

great hunting man.. i followed closely the deus 2 vs equinox comparism on youtube, metal detecting forum. Here I found live dig proof that in line with mr herschback from detector prospector forum which he said that deus 2 is superior on high conductor.

Not certain if this applies to edge of detection

So w\ Deus 2 u got it when u skimmed the ground (not how people detect prob)…that’s probably not as close as Jeff was holding his Nox to the ground… u only did that bc u had it marked 🎯 BUT keep in mind, he still found it with the Nox & the Deus was a little sketchy/skippy/scratchy/not clear sound, and just think if u raised the Deus to Normal levels above the grass. Maybe exact same or Nox beat it. Would be a good test- tying gold rings 💍 to strings in the wet tidal zone at beach 🌊 , mark with super glue and a sharpie on the string for 12inches, and 18inches. I got a 4.5gram 14k white gold diamond ring being tested in the tidal zone 🏖 and with it maxed out on 1 tone and such, the Nox600 got the gold ring 💍 at 20inches just barely- thays max depth for it. Definitely got it at 18to19inches (stock coil), so dont hangout the Nox just yet, as the Douche I mean the Deus2 may be too noisy in the wet sand and just as deep maybe as the Nox. U need to do Gold ring String tests in the tidal zone at the beach, with Nox being on sensitivity 25 of course when testing, beach1 mode has a bigger magnetic 🧲 field, so u get about 1.5inches deeper maybe that beach2. But beach2 is good about not having to discern all the falsing beeps 🌊 … I want to get the new Mindlab thatll come out, should be interesting to see the price too and how deep it goes

Merrill, I hate to say anything, but, I'm wishing you were calling out the numbers as you swing. That 8 or 9 inch quarter, what were the numbers, if you don't mind me asking. I have been doing great with my Deus II. I don't notch anything out. What I do is, 61-63 is loud, and 91 and above is loud, everything else is quiet. I will probably never find gold but, I have been digging a lot of nickles and silver coins. I use this pattern for parks and permissions (homes) only. I have my NOX 800 set up the same way. I am beginning to love my Deus II, more than my NOX 800. But the jury is still out. I can't say I've been to my park and found silver that I missed with the NOX, but in new places, sites, I'm loving this machine. I am retarded when it comes to technology, so I drove 200 miles and The Hunter G T updated and programmed it for me. If your gonna pay $1,600.00 for a machine, a 200 mile one way trip is worth it. At least for me, I'm loving this machine now. Thank you THGT. Oh, I wanted to say, I got a 99 on my Deus, and about six inches down, TWO SILVER QUARTERS 🙂.

To properly test detectors they should be tested in various conditions. 1) Beaches 2)Ploughed fields (rough and smooth) 3)Fields after harvest with stubble 4)Pasture 5)Parks 6)Around old buildings or where they once stood 7) Rocky areas 8) Streams and rivers At the moment you only mainly do 1 and 5 as far as I remember seeing 👍👍👍
