The Deus II is finally got me excited enough to get back on the beach. Just got notification that it shipped.
I got my original Deus back in January 2011 directly from the factory. I think it was one of the first 6 machines sold around then for U.S consumption. As a dry beach machine it was perfect for me. This new Deus II, I'm expecting, will be perfect for me for both dry and wet beach.
Talking about battery life . . I just a few months ago changed out the Deus I's battery in the backphones. The controller was still good with the original battery. The 11" coil was newer, I think 6 or so years old and running strong. Of course my detecting usually lasted under 4 hours at a time.
