There is another way to change the audio but I didn't go over it in this video. There is an Audio Equalizer built into the Deus II that I might add into another video. Hope you guys are getting something out of these videos. From the comments I'm seeing and responding to I'd say you are so thanks for watching!
Your explanation is very understandable and I'm a diehard Minelab user trying to understand the Deus translation and it's various features. I hunt beaches 98% of the time and mostly see ground instructions from others especially overseas. Thanks Scott!
Glad it was helpful!
Yep just got mine...freaking out, thanks for the video
Why are you freaking out? You just recieved one of the best detectors out there. 😁
Great help thanks.
My pleasure
Excellent explanation of the audio system!!!!
Thanks my friend from the west :-)
With all the ability the deus 2 has, not everyone wants to spend so much time and energy programing it. We need a turn on and go deus that maximizes everything in its programs. You would see many more sales if this happened. Combine ease of use with outstanding ability and you can't make enough to keep up with demand. Let's call it the deus 3. What a unique idea!😊😊
The equinox has almost done that but the coils broke on mine and just can't trust minelab engineering, bought a D2 and what a learning curve , major pain in the ass but I am still trying
Still waiting on mine to come. Awesome videos. Will definitely use these to learn the machine.
Thanks for taking the time to teach.
Glad you like them! Hopefully it will shorten your learning curve and get you out hunting faster.
As an equinox user the squeaky sounds were the main thing putting me off. Thank you 😊 (don’t need it yet but am considering in the future)
Fair enough!
Kudos on the excellent lighting and clarity, in regard to showing the display and navigation.
Thanks!
Thanks Scott! This has been very helpful
Glad to hear it!
It’s not that much different to the Nox really..just a different layout..obviously wireless coil connection and lighter. And a few more fancy bits.like more slots for saving custom programs. I like the X Y mode.but are they really needed. That’s a big price so it should be a good machine. I’ve seen a lot of people praising this machine..mostly dealers. I’ve got mine on order and I probably will give it a proper working. But as you know it takes time to learn..The Equinox has been a long learning curve we have all been there and its not a machine without its faults. But I can honestly say with the 15” coil now I know this machine it’s really deep. The Deus has a lot too live up too.
Great videos thanks for all your hard work.
Regards Jim uk.
James my friend, no disrespect to your opinion but they are completely different machines than the NOX. Now don't get me wrong I love the NOX and will never part w/mine but those fancy bits are tools to help you determine whether to dig or not. It will take time to like the machine if you have never used one before. I'd give it at least 100 hours of use before making any real judgement. These folks posting videos after only 30 or 40 hours of use, need a few more hours on it IMO. I'm not here to convince people on what they buy I just want folks to enjoy their machine. The D2 takes some time so these videos hopefully help others shorten their learning curve a bit.
Boom the legend is bk how's your weekend going top job 👍 and see you at the next your brother tezza 👍
Good 👍
I like the pitch and the squire for on the beach.
I've been using pitch on the beach and love it.
Great video i Just bought my deus II and watching your videos. Very helpful 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼thanks again.. Greetings from 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
Glad you like them! and Welcome to the channel.
Very helpful videos you have been providing us. Thank you!
My pleasure!
I used my equinox 800 and deus 2 today. I prefer my equinox right now. But i had to switch to the deus as the nox was making my shoulder sore. I like where i can change every number to accept or reject . These are great times with the competition between manufacturers to give us great machines. Ps ; i also have the ORX .
You can make that Deus sound just like the Nox I'll have a video out soon on how I did it and made it more enjoyable to use (for me at least) hunting for coins. I agree these are great times for metal detecting. Thanks for your comment.
Great video, thanks. I was surprised that square tones was saved once exiting a program. I did't think that anything would be saved.
You're very welcome!
Thank you so much for this. Got my D2 a week ago and everything I asked my self how can I do this? You answer every question.
Wanted to mimic my Nox low, med and high tones and here it is🙌🏼
If you ever visit Kauai, you got a new friend and buddy to show you around 🤙🏽🙏🏽
Great to hear! Hope you enjoy the D2. I think you will like it.
This is a great video buddy. Nice and slow but to the point. Doesn't look that crazy in terms of menu navigation.
Thanks it really is pretty easy to figure it out.
Thank you for sharing this is the only reason I didn't own a deus the scratchy sound
they got me now I'll be having one I always thought they were a great machine. Bottle cap reject and sweet sounds in on board
I think you'll like it. Well at least I hope you do. Put some hours on it though and give it time.
I happen to love the way this machine looks sounds and feels but I just can’t spend that kind of money right now or I’d have one😂😂. The DEUS is an entirely different animal
Square Pitch is a good sounding tone in beach P program. I’ve had success using this program in parks. Dug up a 5 gram gold nugget from a city park. Runs more stable than other programs.
I like it too. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the vids. My deus 2 is bought and paid for, just waiting for Kellyco to get them in stock so they can ship them out.
That is awesome!
Great video, I have forced myself into the PWM tone, I am starting to like it. I have been in 5 tone a lot, but always change the last tone break to higher 900 value. I think the silver and coins are way easier to hear. 😀
Yep I have done the same to the last tone break (in 5 tones) you def tell when you get a good signal.
Well done! I learned a lot once again, thanks
Glad to hear it!
Interesting videos, I’m a nox user and really curious about the deus 2. On the fence right now but appreciate the insight into the machine.
Glad it was helpful!
On the fence, heck we only live once, go for it, I did and I'm not regretting it. I programed my Deus II to sound and act like my NOX 800. Distinct sound for nickles, and high pitch for copper pennies and above, and everything else with a soft quiet sounding tone. When hunting, I'm listening for two sounds, and when I hear one of them, I stop and dig. I love it. I probably bought it cause I'm old and not getting any younger and don't have many years left to detect, so I "just did it". And now I am happy, and that's what matters most.🙂
THX for doing the series of beginner vids on the D2.
i have added this quirky machine to my minelab detectors...and the hopes are that it will compliment them nicely even though it is a much more finicky machine for sure!!
so MM....on my NOX, i can crank up the IRON BIAS so that the detector knows to identify the crap items as straight iron....while simultaneously turning off the iron area sound(the iron tone of 0-8 on the detector.
how do i do that on this crazy D2?
i see the iron volume adjustment setting fine....but where do i have the ability to turn off the iron sound ONLY...and altogether like the NOX can?
Look at the Silencer. Does the same as FE
👍Great information, THX👍
You bet!
Great video, Scott. Very helpful for the soon to be D2 users. Does the D2 have a "depth" indication (like other detectors) when detecting a target? How do you like swinging the lighter weight of the D2? Keep Digging, Scott!
Thanks my friend. The horse shoe pattern will indicate depth. The more it fills in the shallower the target is. If you are only seeing a small portion of it highlighted it will be deep. Sometimes you won't get any of it to fill in and those are the really deep targets. How do I like swinging it? Its a dream. I also own the original Deus and I've been looking forward to the D2 now that it is waterproof.
@@MentalMetal Scott, have you noticed flex in the handle when swinging the D2? My son has acquired a D2 11” and says it feels like the handle seems to flex a lot. This doesn’t seem normal to me. Reminds me of a long time ago when I had a Garrett GTA 500’s and the handle snapped. What are your thoughts?
Be sure to check the 2 screws on the bottom of the arm cuff. I lost one and I had the same problem but then I figured it out after the fact.
How many custom programs can you have?
Great stuff
Thanks!
I'd like to know where to get one. Even Kellco is pre order
Check Fort Bedford, he has been getting them in.
Hey Scott. How many frequencies is the Deus II scanning at one time in the multi frequency mode
Great question Garry I don't have any answer for you on that. I suspect they would keep that a secret but I think it will vary depending the program but I do know that Deus Mono only uses 1 :-) Sorry I wish I had an answer for you.
Reading the manual, out of the 12 built-in programs, 6 of them use multi from 4.0-40khz, 3 of them 4.0-24khz, 2 of them 4.0-14khz and the 1 mono where you select 4-45khz. Available are 4, 7, 15, 21, 28, 35, 40, 45. (Just received mine today, so freshly read!) 😊
Is it true that you cannot update the Deus 2 software unless you have a PC? I was told that you cannot download the software on a Mac computer.
As of today you can not update it via a MAC.
Quick one the default sounds is square in park - hence why it stayed the same when you powered down.
Is it default? I thought it was pwm by default 🤔
@@MentalMetal In the manual it says for Park mode its default is square.
Dang how the heck did I miss that? I thought I changed it. Thank you for pointing that out.
Can you do a video on the padlock 🔒 🔒 🔒 screen ? If you know what I’m referring too. I came across this by accident and almost could not get out of it, machine won’t respond to anything unless all three locks are open, so I can’t be the only person who has found themselves in this configuration screen and not know what to do or what that screen is for… I came across that screen again yesterday by accident and remembered how to get out of it, so I was able to save myself hahaha but I’m sure I’m not the only person who has gotten stuck there…
ahhh yes you must have come across that as well. Yes that is something I can do. Thanks for the idea
I hit that same problem in the dive mode. It scared the crap out of me, 😆( because not alot of clear videos out yet on the D2) I understand why because the under water pressure will push the buttons on your machine so it has to be locked.
can the backlight be set to stay on?
Yes
The equinox will drive a long time Deus user crazy with its slow recovery speed .. works but SLOW ugh
I'm a long time user of both and I would say that the recovery speed on the Nox is pretty fast and faster than most of the other machines out there. But I do think the D2 has the advantage now.
@@MentalMetal I’m like you , no fan boy of any as they’ve never given me anything, but that equinox is soooo slow compared to Deus 1 even with recovery at 1! I’ve found good stuff in England with it. Just got the Deus 2 todat y headed back to England in 2 weeks.. said I’d not buy anymore machines lol
Oh man I'd love get over there sometime. Good luck you should do well with the D2. Just don't use my coin program since its made for U.S. coins :-)
I have both the NOX and Deus 2....which one is better? Beach "P"itch is correct
Not touchin' that one.
Hi Tedy...... which is best ..... hmmmm. I have about 2000 hours swinging the Nox. That's taken about 3 years, and I've used the 800 in every imaginable Colonial situation. But as for me, I can't tell you until I get about 3 to 500 hours on a machine in the real world, in my conditions. I may pick up a D2 at some point, but I'd have to hear it from someone I trust like Scott, that has a year or so on it. My guess is The Equinox will be better for 80 percent of guys that don't need to get so deep in the weeds, and the D2 better for guys that intend to take a couple of years learning the machine and wanna eek out that extra performance the Deus offers. All I can say without any reservation is the Equinox is an amazingly effective tool in the hands of a person that has alot of hours swinging it.
@@MentalMetal A new detector is like a new girlfriend Scott. She is new and exciting, and might perform better. But the warts don't show until you have been together awhile in tough situations. In time you will know.
Jay a new metal detector compared to a girlfriend??? LOL I do get your point though. I just thought that was funny. Thanks again!
I think at this point many of us have those hours on the NOX and know how to get the most out of it. I will not disagree on that. I don't think you will never hear me come out and tell folks to drop your NOX for the D2. They are both great machines and have their place. I try to stay away from all that drama.
I am intimidated for sure. I try to follow you, and end up wanting to change where the brakes are, hit a wrong button and then I'm screwed, I'm in another menu and don't know how to get out of that menu. OK ok, I'm just not smart enough to own a Deus II. Too many settings for me to master. You show us how to change settings, but you don't show us how to save them? Really?
Wow Harry sorry you feel that way. Most of the major changes you make will need to be saved off as another program in one of your 1 of your 12 extra slots. However there are a few settings that will remain if you power it off. Your manual explains this. There is only so much I can show my friend. You really need to read the manual as you go through my videos. I stand by my advice and will tell you to pick a default program like program and learn it with out making any changes. Use it for a couple weeks until you get the feel for it, then start making slight adjustments like the audio options in this video. Sorry to disappoint you. I try my best to help others.
