Davers this the one that gets me .Walk into a site and in the first few holes score a keeper! Then dig another 100 holes and nothing! How does that happen?
I can bet the batteries in a Nox or Deus won't last 14 years. Maybe not the detectors either...
The rechargable batteries in the Nox are a money saver for sure....there are a few down sides to them not being a changeable pack like the Excal or etrac. For one you can't just carry a spare and then if you forget to recharge or are in a remote location you could be in trouble. But I don't mind it too much, most cellphones are the same way.
I love my Tejon , tho I did have to send it in last Spring but Hey! it's 14 years old.
It def , hit's on all silver tho it would likely overload on a 10 ounce or more bar , I hope I'd check the signal anyway.
I found A Half Dime with it , numerous Percussion Caps , It loves the little , Stuff , For me it's (like my 1266-X ) a specific machine.
It dose work.
calabash.. My cell phone is a flip phone it is some were around 9 to 11 years old it works great and i only have to charge it once a week .. I am not in to the tech. thing yet..And it still has the battery that came with it.I would not want a cell phone that lasted 14 yrs either. I would have hoped tech would had moved on a little by then...
As for the the deus. A depth monster it will never be. The tejon and vaqueros are depth monsters, and a deus will never compare. When a tejon or vaquero is detecting a dime at 12 inches, a deus will not even make a peep.

I loved my old flip phone. Fit better in my front pocket and you could probably park a truck on it and not hurt it. Unfortunately, texting took too long.

I looked at the deus, but I'm uninterested in cordless coils and headphones, and charging all the pieces separately. Not to mention they are being sued by Tecnetics. So being such a new company, their future hangs in the balance. I think they only have a couple of detectors on the market, and neither run multi frequencies, but only one at a time.

I think you are completely wrong, XP was founded 1998 and is making the best machines on the market, at least for european soils. The company has a great future. The Deus for example was introduced 2009 and is still ahead of the game. Simultan multi frequencies are a nice feature but not necessary for good finds, in Europe good iron discrimination, fast reactivity and sensitivity to small targets are very important, but also lightness and balance. As analogous detector I would prefer a GMP.
I saw someone in the woods this morning across from my house . He had what I thought was a gun but when I got the binoculars out I saw what it really was. It was a Tejon that had saw this thread and died.....lol It went to detector heaven. I brought him over to my house and showed him the Equinox in the test garden and his grief was change instantly into joy.![]()
