John - I seem to remember that the last time I had a coil pairing problem I had to go through the menu on the remote and unpair the coil first, before attempting to re-pair. If that doesn't work, it isn't too late to go back to V0.71. As you know, it's a very stable platform and I'm not convinced that V2.0 has any advantages over it. Good luck.
I come from the land down under …. Where detectors hunt and men plunder. Can you hear, can you hear the thunder, you better search you better find silver
Excellent John, you both got silver coins, and interesting little bits of history as well. I hope you get the detector squared away. Will be looking forward to seeing your next video. Cheers from Texas.
Well done John & Albert. I'll pass on the coil pairing issue, I'm still running 0.7 on my machine. The lead thing with leather on it that Albert found... I've found one too a while ago. The FLO informed me it was a valve from a semi rotary type pump.
Congrats with the 7 million views John well deserved! I started metal detecting only a few weeks ago but have been watching your videos for ages. Always very informative. Well done 👏
Excellent upload bro. Really glad you had the weather & found a King Billy shilling. Enjoyable stuff, with the history lesson as well ! Appreciated..!! Bless 👊
I would write down the coil numbers, and remove them from the main controller. Shut it off wait a while, and then try to repair them like completely new coils. If that does not work I would contact XP. I bought one mainly based on your videos! That ought to at least get you some decent service, or a new machine. Good luck, and excellent video as always!
John, when you turn it off, leave it off for a couple minutes. You need to let the internal battery drain completely and then reboot. Turn it off. Sing “Happy Birthday” twice. Turn on. Give that a go.
I’ve not upgraded from my vanquish because of the same reason as the dues 2 keeps doing this and it’s the only machine I want to upgrade to! But I’ve had two gold on the vanquish this year already so think I’ll stay put 👍
Nice cloin find John. I am not a detectorist but the problem you describe is not uncommon with Bluetooth devices like mice and keyboards in my IT world. In those cases, the solution is often to remove all devices from the pairing list and start off fresh, repairing each device as new from scratch-the two coils and headset in your case. Good luck.
Hey John, great video as always, Perthshire is an amazing place for history, don’t get so much up here in Caithness but I love the thrill of the ‘maybe one day’ 😊. Quick one if I may, where did you get the plastic pick tool? That is a great piece of kit for getting dirt out of things without scratching or damaging them, tried to search the net, but no luck, cheers Paul.
Im guessing your guesses are as good as any guesser could guess, I guess! A man with three hearts, as long as the main one keeps pumping, alls well! Cheers!
That coil pairing problem is SOOO frustrating!! I remember the last time you had this problem, they ended up sending you a new machine! It makes me think the old battery operated, non computerized machines are more dependable!
I was just watching my favorite american metal detector show called the hoover boys. He just got his artifacts and coins back from england after five years when he went over for a 10 day detector vacation. He said he'd like to go back to England and find some Roman coins. I suggested to him that you too should collab, As you have roman fields and I think it would be very interesting.
14:06 I believe you’ve had one before 😊 it looks like the end of a roller blind, probably about 1900- 1920. Had some on an old Perthshire house I once owned ☺️
Need to get in touch with Regton John and find out what’s happening? Congrats on the silver for both of you. Great collection of finds too and you must have enough body bits by now to make a whole horse and soldier?? 😂. Why is it your W3 shilling is milled and yet the frequent W3 silver pennies found which often are love tokens as I know you’ve had too - are hammered? Thanks John
Hi John, I found this online about coil not connecting. Maybe give it a try. (When did you update to v.4? It makes a difference because XP did two silent updates in March to correct some issues. If you updated in March, do it again to make sure you are on the latest release (yes I know XP should have conducted version control and named their updates v.4.1 and v.4.2 but they didn't. It's still called v.4.0).)
Hi John. Thanks for the info!! Much appreciated. I’ll contact them too just to check but I’ll definitely reboot the software too just to be sure. Thanks again
@@thescottishdetectorist Try downloading it again as they may have done an update since you last downloaded it. Or maybe your down load was glitched. Try turning off your pin pointer too…John
Your silver may have been scratched from the recent ploughing as it was still in a clod when you found it. I hope you get your detector issues sorted out. Nice to see Albert out again today and well done on his silver too.
@ The Scottish Detectorist If I'm not mistaken I seem to recall you saying that you were somewhere near power lines at or around the time you had the problems connecting the coil. Is it possible that could be the cause? Or is it possible trying to connect with both coils in close proximity to each other and the 'head' is causing a problem? Were you anywhere near the power lines? I ask because it might be some kind of RF/EM interference. Next time it happens try pairing them in your car because that might shield extraneous RF. Just 'spitballing' here but these seem to be possibilities.
Re update software on both headphones + remote since there could be silent uptades :) im on 2.0 since release but i only have 9inch coil.. never had anyproblems
About your metal detector problem...it might be humidity distrupting the signal. condensation. Try storing it overnight in the most dry place you can find. I don't know if you have those little humidity absorbing bags that come in beef jerky packages in the U.K., but if you can get your hands on some of them, store your detector in a closed box with a bunch of them when not in use. That has been the problem with a number of machines of a similar kind that we've had. Good vid. Good luck! Good all 'round!😊
The XP wouldn’t be my first choice in detectors. Nothing worse than crappy wireless technology and programming. I’ll stick with my corded detector. Great video as always.
Congratulations on 7 million views 🎉 lovely silver coin 😀 must be a nightmare with your coils not connecting 😩 iam still on 7.1 version good luck with sorting it out
I had a vision of you crawling across the field on your hands and knees swinging your pin pointer in a desperate attempt to find one last "thing". Hope you solve the problem. Have you thought about buying an inexpensive backup detector? Love the channel, keep up the good work.
Re the coil John - I think there is a glitch with something going on with coil connection? I find that if you turn the pad off and re connect a couple of times it picks it up! A bit like you havevto do with your computer or lap top when it won’t do something! 🤞
The little lug on the copper heart looks like it may be the remains of a Cupid’s arrow. It looked like there was a broken off lug on the opposite side - the other end of the arrow.
They're called Martin gales. The big one set in the chest of a horse and a small 1. Usually attached to the bridle. We dig them in Civil War. Calvary camps
Doesn't the D2 come with a wire to connect the coil to the head unit when you are in the water? Maybe a good idea to carry it along as a backup in the case of future wireless connectivity issues.
Napoleon III Cinq Centimes at 18:09, they're pretty much the most commonly found coin in France when detecting, they're like finding a George V halfpenny in the UK! They're bronze, so usually come out pretty well preserved, though some aren't so lucky. There are two different faces for Napoleon III coins, 1854-1857 was the first mass-circulated design, then 1861-1869/70 was a new design with a laureate head, it applied to all coinage. Face side is his head, 'NAPOLEON III EMPEREUR . (DATE)', with Albert Desiree Barre as the chief engraver and two marks either side of the date signifying the engraver and mint location. Reverse side is an eagle, 'CINQ CENTIMES . EMPIRE FRANCAIS', with the mint mark under the eagle Something to not also when finding foreign coins, Barre was the engraver for a lot of European coins, you'll see similarities in 19th century coin designs because of this, main ones to note are France and Greece, but did some for Venezuela as well. Love watching your vids John, mum is a huge fan too!
Just a personal opinion and take it with a grain of salt. But I think you need to be looking for a different detector manufacturer. I know you like it, but it seems to be a brand I wouldn't want to waste my money on. There is more dependable brands out there. I still love watching your channel for it is one of the best. Keep up the good work!
Im so pleased indont habe a wireless system on my Equinox 700 i couldnt be doing with that out in the field 🤦🏻 i have no clue about the Dues brand and i take it those coils are constantly switched on? Its not an issue woth having the two coils turned on at the same time is it? 🤷🏻🤔
Could it be interferance from another Wi-Fi source I'm a plumber and we have a camera for drains that connects to an app on an iPad and it has attempted to pick up another wifi signal before It basically made the one its supposed to connect to the 2nd choice We finally figured out what happened and it has worked good since Just a thought. Great videos keep up the good work And forget the Jethro program, you need to be on the Albert or Pete programs. They been giving you a wollap lately 😆 😅
Sometimes when pairing up my devices, it is as if I have to do it backwards especially if I'm near a power line. Turn the coil and detector computer both off and the happy birthday song timing works well. Turn your computer on and set it searching for the coil, then turn the coil on. Sometimes it works.
Could 11:51 and 27:55 be adornments from the trappings of a "hearse" carriage, jolted loose on a rocky road? I think the brooch at 28:50 would have had an arrow going through...mourning pin maybe? No irony lost at 33:40 with the inscription, "Who Keeps This..." on the pendant. Ah, the joys of the digital world, eh? Hope the company does the right thing and you get the fubar worked out of your equipment.
There is clearly a problem with your Deus II. Maybe a short, since both coils are working and charged, but neither is connecting. It would be in the interest of the Deus II manufacturer to replace your detector, as the negative publicity with you having this issue twice can’t be good for the company.
@@thescottishdetectorist I was curious as it seemed like a blunt end vs 'the carrot'. And thank you for not judging my auto-correct fail! Entertaining video as always - I found it interesting seeing the technical issues, and was frustrated on your behalf!
As much free advertising that you give that company, they should send you a free complete set-up!!😂
Yep for sure, you pay alot of money for something to be that unreliable?
I wondered about radio interference
John - I seem to remember that the last time I had a coil pairing problem I had to go through the menu on the remote and unpair the coil first, before attempting to re-pair. If that doesn't work, it isn't too late to go back to V0.71. As you know, it's a very stable platform and I'm not convinced that V2.0 has any advantages over it. Good luck.
I completely agree with the unpairing of it and then trying again.
Taikuu John, hello Albert..
Another nice video John👍🏼
Foo-Foo for the win! Haha
I hope you're having a great weekend John keep up the great work!!!
Thanks for your generosity Daniel. Much appreciated and I hope you enjoy the video and had a great weekend
I come from the land down under …. Where detectors hunt and men plunder. Can you hear, can you hear the thunder, you better search you better find silver
Silvers for both of you, Yay! Some other nice finds as well. Thanks for the video John!
A stunning “William” coin. Again, your priceless description adds to our experience. Thank you!
Excellent John, you both got silver coins, and interesting little bits of history as well. I hope you get the detector squared away. Will be looking forward to seeing your next video. Cheers from Texas.
Excellent video and interesting finds.
Well done John & Albert.
I'll pass on the coil pairing issue, I'm still running 0.7 on my machine.
The lead thing with leather on it that Albert found... I've found one too a while ago. The FLO informed me it was a valve from a semi rotary type pump.
John.. you are always amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers from southern Europe!!!!
Albert’s find really does look like a tiny tombstone.
Thanks for the video. Congrats on the 7 million and the silver for both today.
Thanks John, great video even with the coil issues. Congrats on silver today and I am looking forward to the light box video.
Congrats with the 7 million views John well deserved! I started metal detecting only a few weeks ago but have been watching your videos for ages. Always very informative. Well done 👏
Yay silver! Nice one John 😀 The field loves you ❤❤😉😉😄 Hehe, always amazes me the variety of items you find. Have a great week.
Albert’s last find looks like it says “Who keeps this keepsake always”
"Who keeps this keeps love always" was my interpretation
You can go to 1.1 version. That is what I am on. Never had a problem with it. 2.0 is mostly for the extreme detector anyways. Good luck John!
Excellent upload bro. Really glad you had the weather & found a King Billy shilling. Enjoyable stuff, with the history lesson as well ! Appreciated..!! Bless 👊
Many thanks Nick. Thanks for watching
I always like the lead soldiers, too bad his horse ran off with his legs 😊. Excellent day out when you find silver. Well done! (50k very soon🎉)
Many thanks Mack! I love finding them too and also feel a little sad for the kids who lost them! Many thanks 50k would be amazing

Hmmmm, I was considering purchasing a Deus2... I think I'll get a Manticore instead. *Edit, laughing emoji removed. It's really not a funny situation.

Sorry you were having trouble with your detector, hope there will be solution. Must be very frustrating. Nice outing today.
yay john and albert
The dream team! Happy Sunday Alan
When you took the coil in to be fixed, I think they gave it a ghost app?? LOL!
😂 Whip out the foo! I love the Hoover Boys, but you have them beat hands down.
I had a vision of you crawling across the field on your hands and knees swinging your pin pointer in a desperate attempt to find one last "thing". Hope you solve the problem. Have you thought about buying an inexpensive backup detector? Love the channel, keep up the good work.
I wonder if the head set is interfering with the coil staying on?
Re the coil John - I think there is a glitch with something going on with coil connection? I find that if you turn the pad off and re connect a couple of times it picks it up! A bit like you havevto do with your computer or lap top when it won’t do something! 🤞
I would be looking for the battlefield of Mons Graupius near Dunning (towards Duncrub)
I wonder if that copper heart was on the leather that was attached to the lead heart
Perhaps you could use the toy soldier and finial as chess pieces? Silver again! Good dig. 😊
The little lug on the copper heart looks like it may be the remains of a Cupid’s arrow. It looked like there was a broken off lug on the opposite side - the other end of the arrow.
Could be the Auld Enemy "Water"!!

The lead thing with leather on nit it part of an old water pump I think
Ahhh! Many thanks, I’ll look into that
@thescottishdetectorist it's called a clacker valve
Let me know if you find it online

Hi John. I’m wondering if (and if ‘yes’ how) you clean you finds at home after bendythumbing or denturebrushing it.
John, since you paired the pin pointer to your headphones, could that have caused an issue with your remote? Just a thought… 🤔
The battery icon for the coil looks empty compared to the remote that shows a full charge in the icon?
Albert’s tombstone is a valve clacker!!
Im so pleased indont habe a wireless system on my Equinox 700 i couldnt be doing with that out in the field 🤦🏻 i have no clue about the Dues brand and i take it those coils are constantly switched on? Its not an issue woth having the two coils turned on at the same time is it? 🤷🏻🤔
Is there any correlation with solar flare(CME) activity and your signal issues?
A lead and leather sandwich!! I must be hungry!😂
Could it be interferance from another Wi-Fi source
I'm a plumber and we have a camera for drains that connects to an app on an iPad and it has attempted to pick up another wifi signal before
It basically made the one its supposed to connect to the 2nd choice
We finally figured out what happened and it has worked good since
Just a thought. Great videos keep up the good work
And forget the Jethro program, you need to be on the Albert or Pete programs. They been giving you a wollap lately 😆 😅
Looks like your coil serial number ends in an 8. You have put a 9 in on the coil settings in the controller??
Is it possible there's mineralized soil trapped between the coil and the skidplate? Might be causing connectivity issues? Just a thought.....
Albert found a pocket rocket!
I have the same version with no trouble,hope you solve the problem. Maybe your machine is begging for a bath.😉
Misbehaving electronics are so frustrating. I hope the mystery is solved soon. And today is the 278th anniversary of Culloden.
Well I don't know what I'm talking about, but it almost seems like there's a loose wire somewhere in your equipment. Hope you can get it fixed.
@xpmetaldetectors - Come on lads, help a Scotsman oot!

Do u have the underwater set up if so try putting that on and c if it connects
If the XP DEUS II folks see this, I would think they would be reaching out to you. It doesn’t show them in a good way.
My years old detector has a cable that connects the coil and the machine. Did you lose yours?
There is clearly a problem with your Deus II. Maybe a short, since both coils are working and charged, but neither is connecting. It would be in the interest of the Deus II manufacturer to replace your detector, as the negative publicity with you having this issue twice can’t be good for the company.
I wonder if the Bluetooth connection is really worth it, instead of just wiring coil to the controller.
11:50 a shoe heel with leather attached?
Ahhhh!! Good thinking Tony!! That’s a great suggestion. I just couldn’t think what it could be but that makes sense! Thanks
How do you like the new pinpointed from Regton?
Very good. I like the fact it’s rechargeable and also connects to the headphones. Early days but I’ll do a review soon!
