Minelab Equinox 800, XP Deus,
Primary Interest:
Relic Hunting
Fellow Diggers-

Just a sprinkling of some of my finds over the past few months with my XP Deus, since starting using this detector in October of 2019 - 6 months ago, I have made more civil war relic hunting and coin saves in the last 6 months then in my previous 2 years using my Equinox 800. There is no “perfect” detector out there that is all things to all people-I get it. But for my relic hunting in Virginia where I live and dig, I have recovered more relics and coins in a heavily iron infested and heavily pounded 300 acre farm, then with previous detectors that I have used. I am one happy camper with this new machine. Happy Hunting!

Wayne

I told you the Deus whoops you know what! I'm still in lockdown prison, although I have been to dig alone a few times. Including my lawn.
 

Great stuff there. Any pics of the breast plate all cleaned up?
 

Those are beautiful finds. I agree 100% with you on the Deus. I got mine on Friday, played with on my property for two days (looking forward to tomorrow after today's rains) and it immediately started finding copper here, there and everywhere. I am making really nice finds and I've been detecting 4 acres for five months with the Ace.

I am in awe of this machine so far. It's just incredible and I just started.
 

Here you go all cleaned up!

Nice digs

Yeah no machine keeps up with the dues in heavy iron sites. I pounded a site with three different top of the lines. Came back with the deus and found 20 pieces of silver and over 20 indians.

It's a great machine in those conditions. I give the nod to the nox though for coin shooting.

Because of you Smokey I bought the XP Deus! It is all that! Dug part of my first shell with it as well, I am a happy camper! C31E8EC7-6C41-414F-A639-7008B407D8FC.jpeg
 

Great bunch of recoveries, congrats! :occasion14:
 

It was a bit of a learning curve for me 6 months in. The b one thing I learned is if it is deep target and there is no visible VDI-dig it, several times I dug colonial round balls. Enjoy!
 

Nice work. I love my Deus for iron infested sites but Im trying to sell it because I need the money and my Equinox is a better all around machine ie water and land hunting. Not too shabby in iron either. Unfortunately, I think the Equinox has really put a beating on the resale value of other brand detectors. $400 for a detector Ive got over a grand in. Cmon:BangHead:
