Questions about the Deus XP

I've been looking at the Deus XP and thinking about getting one,but I have a few questions about it? Is it water proof,not that I'm going to take it water hunting,but I do hunt in wet conditions a lot lately,like drizzle,to light rain. The second question I have is,does it have a target depth indicator? I use a ATP and have really got used to looking at the target depth,to help figure out if the target is large. Sometimes you get a good reading,with a shallow depth number. If it's a coin,you can raise the coil and loose the signal,but if it still gives you a signal with the coil raised about 6 inches,it's most likely a alum,can,or top of one. I can also tell the target depth by the strength of the signal sound also,dose the Deus XP do this? Thanks. Ron

Coil is waterproof, but while the headphones are not scared of a little rain, the remote needs somekind of protective cover. Xp Deus have a sort of a target signal strength indicator, that act as a depth meter. Of course the Xp deus sound gets weaker and stronger depending how close the target is.

Just hide the headphones under a raincoat and you are good to go. Also there are good waterproof Iphone pouches available, that you can use to protect the remote.

Yeah.I'm leani'n really hard in that direction,but the ATP has me spoiled. It's hard to not use a "bad boy" that isn't afraid of any weather conditions! Dosen't seem like it would be hard for them to "weather proof" the control head?

Yeah,thats what I do with my ATP now. I just carry a poncho along,and throw it over me,the head phones stay on my ears inside the hood. You would think the control unit would be sealed? Those guy's in the UK use their md's in foggy/wet conditions?

Yeah,I have 2 gun safes,and both are full! I guess MD's are the same! One for every condition. The other day when I was hunting that old school,it was misting rain. The ATP looked like a mud ball,but when I got home,I just sprayed it off with the garden hose,and it was clean as a whistle again,gotta love that!
