If you are planning on entering the water, it would be best to use the waterproof bone conduction headset. Al the XP headsets have dynamic audio options such as PWM and SQUARE. The larger headsets are better for use on a busy beach as they will cup your ears and drown out distracting noises and the sound of the waves. XP is once again at the forefront of metal detection technology, pushing the limits by giving detectorists exactly what is asked for & indeed required to get the best results either inland, in freshwater, or indeed in saltwater thanks to their FMF® (Fast Multi-Frequency) technology. The XP Deus and The XP Deus II use what XP calls “Reactivity” which is also equivalent to the “Recovery Speed” on the Minelab Equinox. Does the XP Deus II have a faster recovery speed than the Equinox? Early tests and videos of side by side comparisons are showing that the Deus II has the advantage. The XP Deus has always been a really fast metal detector and it appears that XP has definitely improved what was already a very fast machine. Their proprietary use of Fast Multi-Frequency (FMF) appears to be giving them an edge over the Equinox. XP Deus Reactivity Chart Reactivity Number Uses 1 (Mono) frequency adjusts from 4 to 45kHz. Works in a single frequency. Good for EMI rejection, Use when in conditions where FMF is not suitable due to interference etc.

To help shorten this learning curve I also recommend building your own test bed that you can use over and over. Bury junk targets, relics, and coins. Try to go out there for 20 mins every day for 2 weeks and just listen so your brain and hearing register those targets. If you do, this it will make a huge difference in your recovery of good vs bad targets. But What About The Advanced Features of The Deus II? factory search modes– factory search modes make tuning the metal detector fast and easy, adapting the settings to environments, and objects targeted We have successfully resolved the issue of remote control rebooting or WS6 freezing in very rare configurations.DIVING: FMF • Max. freq. 14khz • Conductive soil subtraction. DIVING is the first and most stable of three programs intended for submerging in saltwater environments or simply on wet sand. Its very low and medium subtracted frequencies will better locate valuable targets such as rings and coins, whilst naturally being less responsive to low conductive targets like aluminum foil compared to the more sensitive Beach 11 and 12 programs. It can thus save time and be more effective in difficult diving conditions. Fast Multi Frequency is an enhanced variation of the Multi Frequency technology that includes faster Recovery speed. The FMF allows the metal detector to scan the location using all available frequencies at the same time. This way, the metal detector works on its peak efficiency, reaching to different types of targets on different depths, and showing results faster. FMF technology not only increases the speed of metal detecting as such, and increases the efficiency of search showing all potential targets possible, it also provides as much information about each potential target as possible. FMF enables the search on any type of location, giving way broader opportunities for the user. Single Frequencies

Uses FMF up to 40kHz – This beach program will operate the deepest on wet sand but it will also be more reactive.Uses FMF up to 40kHz – uses low and high frequencies. Very efficient, works well in mineralized and trashy ground when searching for small targets. Reactivity is set at 2.5 Connect your XP MI-6pinpointer (not included) directly up to your Deus II for a fully seamless, wireless experience.

Upgraded audio interface: Choice of audible tones, four amplified audio outputs, multi-band equalizer ad¬justable on each output: Loudspeaker, wireless and wired headphones, bone conduction headphones.The new XP Deus II has its own series of search coils, which are not compatible with the previous Deus, and the first Deus’ coils are not compatible with the new metal detector.

XP Deus II allows the treasure hunter to use any of the 49 single frequencies, separately. This means that the treasure hunter can adjust their settings to specific location, environment, depth, level of mineralization, or type of target, and focus on these specifications only. Such a narrow search removes the distractions created by other types of targets, and makes tuning of the metal detector very focused. Remote Control All headsets should allow you to hear a conversation or a shout if somebody needs to get your attention, but cut out noises above 84dB. You won’t have to dig and find junk with its incredible iron discrimination. It works very well on the beach. It uses multiple frequencies allowing you to find treasures at dept. The truth is the price reflects the quality of what you’re getting and the fact that it’s lightweight combined with its superior ergonomics will allow you to hunt for longer, resulting in more finds. XP Deus 2 VS. XP Deus Motion & Non-Motion modes– Non-motion mode is in fact a Pinpoint mode that allows the metal detector to more efficiently identify the potential target This article will compare the most common features of both the XP Deus II and the Minelab Equinox 800. How Does The Deus II Compare to the Equinox?The XP Deus has the option to fit 5 different coils and could pair with the remote control, its headphones, and the optional pinpointer within seconds. The XP Deus 2 has all these features: fully waterproof to 20m, the FMF frequency range, and bone-conduction headphones. XP WS6– wireless headphones provide flexible and safe activities since the user is not limited with wires, which adds convenience I took a look at some of the key features of both metal detectors and placed them side by side in the table below for comparison. However, performance will be the ultimate factor in determining which metal detector is better. Unbiased performance tests are starting to show up on YouTube for the XP Deus II.
