From all the youtube channels testing the machine and I have watched about all of them,it seems the dues II is pulling to the front due to its separation capabilities.
I've had two whites,two garrets, four fishers,three tesoro, 8 minelabe and an orx
Not brand loyal at all but Technology is ever improving.

Its more than just its separation capabilities... There is a lot going on under the hood on this machine. I am just starting to mine the possibilities of this unit.

Looking forward to future videos. How about a raw depth test on a 3 ringer and maybe a CW frag??

From being a loyal Whites, then Minelab, and now Deus the technology is ever changing.

But from watching the head to head comparison testing between the 800/ll in the ground testing video.
(35 minute long)
What it showed is both can detect deep, but the Deus was the true winner.
Large One Penny @ 16" it was hitting it with the coil 6" off the ground.
Now I am a type of guy where testing should be out in the field.
Detecting at a site, and go head to head on targets.
This is where it should be done.
Is there a video out there showing this?

Some guys are doing some head to head....I have done some in the field but not every target I have dug.

I watched one this morning out of the UK that was a head to head field hunt with an ORX.
There was one target that the ORX could not hit. The impressive part to me was the target had iron in the hole.
To be fare the ORX is half the price.

Bringing the price point into the equation is a good/bad thing.
A permission just told me last week that they bought their 6 yrs old Grandson a $60 detector.
It picked up a piece of fencing wire at 4" in the pathway.
I have nearly $3K invested in the Deus/HF coil/PP and can do that as well.
They were :laughing7::laughing7::laughing7: when he detected the culvert at 2ft
I'm not going to go test to see if mine will pick it out-I would be embarrassed to find it didn't.
