DEUS II Some change in setup

went detecting with a penpal and only realized in the last 15 minutes that I only have one shaft for 2 Deuses.. luckily i still have the one shaft that I made from scratch. Did not let him use it lol

I have been using the Deus I since 2011, I think. THen I got a used Deus II which I didn’t like and got rid of. Bought the old Deus back (well several setups and kept what I wanted). Now some used parts came along and my Deus II Lite is now again my weapon of choice. It should be better, right ?
I think maybe the fulltones is confusing because you get a high tone for something that isn’t the highest conductor (like a musket ball). Must realize now that there are even HIGHER tones for higher conductors and they make my ears hurt..

Now I’m waiting for a used WSA XL headphones so I ‘m no longer bothered by the cable of the headphones (attached to adapter of WS6 pod).
The Deus II finds small stuff, and sometimes I’m surprised by depth, but also often I feel it’s not going very deep when most of my finds are within 10cm. But on the other hand: I’m coming from a year of bad results anyway. Deus I or Deus II. I still want a Deus II so I can detect the beach without cable issues.
Got lucky and found someone to buy my Minelab Sovereign GT for my price and he really wanted this one, so that went very well. Pity to get rid of the old classic machine with the nicest sound, but 450 euro is too much to sit around the house when I already have a beach machine in the Deus II. I also sold everything else, like an Equinox 600 with carbon rod that got exchanged for a Deus with a French unit. Itt’s all gone, except a Deus I with 28cm coil and 22cm white coil. Both have their ‘superficial’ ugliness so I won’t be able to sell them for a decent price. Maybe I’ll sell the unit or ws5 headphones just to get as much cash back in my wallet as possible. I just don’t know what to do with all the money except to put it into bitcoin, with all the recession that’s coming :p Got myself food for us and our animals already, it’s going to go bad probably.. Or we’ll need it and won’t have enough maybe.

Montenegro June 2022

Bar beach – I think the detector was too chattery here and a bulldozer was about to flatten the part where our stuff was so that didn’t last long. I did go after he moved the sand and i found a few small eurocoins.
THis was Veliki Pejisak/ At least some good finds in the pebbles. I found a silver bracelet and gold ring in the waterline years ago.
Sutomore: my favorite but this time there was a lot of aluminium and nothing much except one euro coin. Saw a guy and a woman detect after me in the evening while there wasn’t even that much public so I guess in Summer they’ll have a ball.. between the 1000s of chairs that are put on the beach. There’s no room to walk even and i really hate this. Good to go in the water if you’re there.. But my experience is that at 7am there isn’t even one free parking spot in the whole town (aug 2021).
Green beach at the edge of Sutomore which actually has another name. THat was a fantastic looking beach away from the town, not many people even in the weekend in June. Here I did a few tours underwater with m Deus II and just the lower shaft in Diving mode. That went fine except it’s hard to dig in pebble.
