Dan,

I spent a couple years “looking into” the Deus, somewhat fascinated with it and the following it had. I was skeptical of some of the design features but still wanted to see one in person. Finally kickindirt was in town and took time to meet me at a local park so I could have a go with his. I immediately liked it. For me, the audio and lightness in hand were amazing.

I have the 9” x35 with it.

Many have said it is a complicated machine to set up. I don’t think any more so than any other detector with adjustable recovery speed and iron sensitivity. I had it only for a couple weeks when we met for the WTHO in Wells NV in June. I had one of my best outings using the Deus most of that time.

Still, I have a lot to learn with it, but am looking forward to time in the field.

Good luck with yours

Rich
