In my mid sixties now and have detected, on and off, over 44 years, and until 2 years ago I always loved a British C-Scope detector. Only problem is it is now a little heavy to swing through a 6 hour session, so I looked at all the options for a lighter machine, including a Deus, and spent just £399 on a Vanquish 540. Now it's my go to machine and is just fantastic and of course has the multi frequency as well. This machine should see me to and through the rest of my swinging days and Jeez, it finds the goodies, even my FLO asked what changes I had made 😁😁.

Great vid again Alex most entertaining 😄. But you could have found another 3 targets in real life while Catherine was digging that deep one. Deep is great but it takes a long while to dig stuff. But what about ploughed fields? I find the deep stuff on the fields I often do are squashed drinks cans and broken plough shares. Deep can be a hinderance when most hammered coins are in the top 5 inches. So it depends on the ground you are detecting. Also in target rich areas deep detectors pick up several targets at once confusing things. In target rich and iron infested areas I turn the sensitivity down so all advantages of a deep detector are lost in that situation. I found coins with my cheap detector my other expensive detectors missed.

@@HolzHammerSagas Hi Alex, keep em coming! And I really would like to see the result of you with the Deus1 and Catherine with the Deus 2 on the same ploughed field. I think the D2 is only going to find the odd deep target that the D1 does not find. Maybe 1 percent. But the D1 will make up for it by finding more items because you don’t need to take time digging deep. On certain permissions where the targets are deep the D2 may come good or on detected out sites but I could not see much difference on Catherine’s pasture which was interesting. But on pasture I would turn the audio response up a notch or two. I bought a Deus 1, six months ago. I think in terms of finds it could be better or certainly no worse than other detectors but lightness is also a big factor because I can detect for longer without fatigue and cover more ground per minute. I don’t have your experience on the D1 but I have not been disappointed with the results so far and it can only improve. Ideally I would like a D2 as well but I already have 6 detectors cluttering up the place. If I need a deep detector I would go for the GPX 5000 or similar but most of the decent detectors are finding hoards anyway. Tip, why not teach Tasci to dig for you and steal Catherine’s pinpointer too, that would be a fun vid👍🏻😄

Hi Alex, just found your channel and really appreciate the quality of your filming and editing. As a Deus user for 6 years I am or was on the verge of upgrading to D2 but am struggling to justify the outlay when seeing real world comparison videos such as yours. There is a lot of hype at the moment and the lack of supply only fuels the demand. I think i may hold off until late summer to see how it settles down and then reassess. Other than great ergonomics one has to ask what the Deus 2 has over the Nox which is considerably cheaper. The Legend will also be interesting to compare to the D2, if they ever get it to market, again at half the price. £1400 just seems expensive in comparison to these alternatives. In the meantime I'll stick the the D1 which incidentally I've just sold the control box and gone lite which i find kind of liberating!

Hi James, hope all well! I have never used, or really seen, a Nox at work though it always seems to win the Deus v Nox "battles"! And neither will I, even if £££ available, switch to the II yet - there is simply not enough in it so far... like you, and when it becomes LITE, i will wait til the hype dies down and take a view in the Summer ( just in time for the stubble! Apparently it works well "off" the ground...) The LITE is definitely more liberating and your ears will get keen! I always find I dig dodgy signals at first, esp on new land, but you soon get to know what to look out for - I honestly never ( hardly ever) dig iron or coke or thin foil unless I want to!

one day i hope to be lucky enough to try the deus model...ive had 4 back proceedures,,, ( 3 operations) and a round of nerve denervation.....so i could really benefit from the lighter machine. i currently use minelab 600 which has been brilliant in regards of finds but it a tad heavy.

A deus Lite would suit you SS without the remote all you have is the handle and coil its a great machine and fun using just your ears its very relaxing!

I've been waiting with anticipation Alex, so the Deus is still a winner.. we've just got to pay a bit more attention to the signals "listen a little closer" and perhaps dig a few more of the iffy deeper targets.. thanks Alex 😉

Hi just thought id drop in and offer a bit of info.... Since u use the hot program the audio response is set to 3...this is brilliant for shallow objects and distinguishing deep targets from shallow.. But as a draw back signals are quiter at depth.. U need to select the deep program 6 and change tones to full.. This will now use an audio response of 4...signals will now be alot louder.... The deus 1 is every bit as deep as the deus 2... The only plus is its waterproof really and maybe slightly better in iron but very very minimal so Little its impossible to even notice out in the field... Hope this helps

What a great video! Very interesting to see the difference. Well done on the cut half too, 9” is impressive to still find it! But the big question Alex, will you be getting a D2? I can’t see the difference warranting the extra money? Or does it? For me it’s been such a massive step from the simplex, but had the D2 not been brand new and with all the hype surrounding it, I might have gone for the Deus1 given the cheaper price tag. Especially after this video. I don’t regret buying it at all though! I’m really excited to learn more about it and master the settings one day! Great video, have a lovely day and top weekend!

Well what's the verdict? Will you make the switch? Unfortunately, the weather here is rather nasty. Started snowing Tuesday night, continued into Wednesday. Of course, my pharmacy was NOT delivering. I decide to catch the bus, as neared the stop (About a 3 minute walk from my rather humble abode) I noticed a train stopped on the tracks, blocking the street. The bus was due in 4 minutes.(me being the professional bus rider I am, I have an app, that tells me when the next bus will arrive.) I waited, saw my bus (#23 which turns into #13 at the main stop) ease up to the crossing arms, the lights blinking, the bells incessant clanging. A guy across the road, said "Well the last time I saw a train stopped there, it was 3 hrs before it was moved."(mind you trains pass by every half hour) I thought I'd go back home, when the train inched across the crossing. The bus arrived, as soon as I got on the bus driver, said she wasn't feeling well, & another driver would arrive shortly. Mind you the bus was due at 11:34, it was now 5 past noon. The new driver arrived, spitting out curses, & apologies for the previous drivers, obvious malfeasance. Anyway got off at the Pharmacy (Chemist) stop. Walked the 1/3 mile to the Pharmacy, through the snow drifts, the cold snow carried by the BLISTERING North wind, stung my face. Got my medicine, trudged back the 1/3 mile to the stop. Waited 10 minutes for the bus. Got home. Decided I'd do the smart thing & call a lift this morning. (Uber competitor). The driver stopped in the middle of the frozen street. I with cane in hand, attempted to get to the car door. It was 8°F here. I had to step over a stream of water, slipped on the ice. Almost did a "face plant", but my cat like agility, prevented that. Naturally I slammed my left knee, hip, & big toe, onto the street. Politely acquiesced to the robbery, called paying bills. Found out Lyft had doubled, then tripled their prices. I actually watched them change. Fortunately 2 of my fellow crime victims gave me rides, for a fair price too. (They were probably happy to have a little cash, after the ordeal "of paying the bills". So now I'm aching, all over, I will catch the bus tomorrow, buy a new can opener (as the one I had had a 7 year guarantee, lasted for 2 yrs). So more danger ahead tomorrow. I'll take my pain medication & go to bed now. How was your day Alex? Gil

Unfortunately non of you seem to understand how multi frequency works, and it’s advantages on arable over a single frequency . Coming from 8 years with the deus and then 3 years equinox I can assure you I would have no interest of ever going back to single frequency . Because every find isn’t 10+ inches you seem to think the deus2 is just an expensive deus1 with bells and whistles, I’ve personally had Henry groats at a measured 11.5 inches , annular brooches deeper , Roman artefacts that the deus1 would not even register on…and remember I used the deus1 for 8 years so I know it extremely well. What I do know is I will find many good items that the old deus1 will not . When you sell your deus1 for £700, you can join us just by adding an extra £700 and reap the benefits you never knew even existed.👍🏻
