The Lie Detector.co.uk Reviews

[Skye Severy]

Bazza had just got a little pension windfall through the post and being at the ripe old age of 60 something, what should have been a happy time plunged him into a dark depression I guess everyone will go through it at some stage and ask the question how long have I got left on this earth, not wanting to get morbid we had a good chat and he decided to spoil himself and get a new machine, he always wanted a Deus so what the hell a Deus it was going to be. We drove up to see Nigel and Marcus at the shop and spent some time talking about the good old days, eventually Baz returned home with a good used model upgraded to a version 2.0.

By pure chance the very same week deals within deals had led me to also become an owner of another XP Deus, this model had also been updated to version 2 so we basically had identical machines.

There are probably lots of metal detecting reviews about the Deus that spend time going into the bare bones and how to access menu's etc, I will keep this review about being out in the field rather than at home on the kitchen table conducting depth tests and how deep it is compared to other machines.

Barry had been instructed to leave the machine on Basic 1 and just get out there and use it, don't twiddle with the settings...charge it and use it.

Tips

There are a couple of tips I would like to pass on regarding deep targets, the audio sound is more powerful than the meter reading so if you get a signal and no numbers it will be deep, also deep targets have a flick or a clipped sound sometimes accompanied by the iron buzz sometimes not, always investigate these audio irregularities, the horse shoe gauge is quite accurate again a deep target will only just show a pimple at the top, I dug no iron during the pasture test.

Using the audio gain to suit you search conditions really adds colour and information to the signal

My final tip and probably the most important is :

Please don't become a slave to the 18 Khz GoldMaxx power and the Deus Fast mode if it is nor required, this machine has so much more to offer, spend some time with 11Khz Basic 1 here is my most used program I feel 2 tone gives a better experience than 3 tone for some reason.

The next part of this review takes us to a site contaminated with iron and small nails where I will be comparing the 18Khz 11Khz and 8Khz to see if frequency really does dominate target types when mineralisation is not a big issue.

Iron contaminated site

I wanted to use the same basic settings and only change the frequencies to see if the difference would make the machine more bias to certain sized targets.

8Khz

My first hour was using the 8Khz which resulted in 5 positive signals which confirmed what I had expected the lower frequencies are not efficient at detecting smaller items amongst iron. The targets can be seen in the picture, they are in the top left, as you can see they are all quite large and should never have been missed with other machines we have been using on this site.

11KHz

The second hour was really very impressive, the machine dealt with the iron and picked out the positive targets with unbelievable precision, I tried using reactivity 3 for a while but I found the signals were slightly clipped. The targets in the bottom left and the coins under the coil were found using 11 Khz.

18 Khz

The machine was indeed very lively with lots of feedback...targets were smaller, again found in between the iron with deadly accuracy, I did have to work harder with the higher frequency as many of the targets required a little more investigation some were microscopic, I found a couple of pieces of iron but I was pretty sure what it was before I dug. Reactivity 3 was again to choppy for me to be comfortable with. the targets in the right of the picture were found using 18Khz

Summary

To be honest I should never have found this amount of targets full stop, this small area has been battered to death, that single point alone impressed me.

If I was to choose an every day frequency it would still be 11Khz even on an iron contaminated site, I know there are lots of 18K followers out there and perhaps it is the ideal frequency for their soil or particular targets especially Saxon and medieval coinage....personally I feel the 18Khz would work better on dry fluffy soil that has been freshly ploughed or worked which appears to enhance the mineral effect.

Reactivity...Again I read so much about reactivity 3 and 4 but for me reactivity 2 has my vote, one point that puzzles me is reading about how a faster recovery speed will allow a faster sweep speed, I can't see this being an advantage as the signals are shorter and may easily be lost with a faster sweep, If I was to use a faster recovery speed I would slow down with a short precise sweep.

The XP Deus is a very forgiving machine, you can't really get it wrong, the first 3 default settings will find you most targets with ease, once you become familiar with the machine you can make the odd tweak, but I'm confident once you find a happy setting such as tone or discrimination you will use it for 99% of your detecting requirements which has a small down side....I have been told but can not confirm from experience that if you use the same settings and the machine requires no tweaking it will turn off after 3 hours so bare this in mind, you will need to press a button within the allocated time to stop the machine from powering down.

XP Deus hidden features

Now it appears to be common knowledge here's how to find it

The secret screen is located under Options - highlight configuration - press + and pin point together - now you will see the word advanced in the options menu there you will find visualisation x y and Gnd history.

This is not a new update but simply diagnostic tools for XP engineers.

XP Deus version 3.2

The 3.2 offers many more variations such as Full tones, a better reactivity and silencer settings, plus free memory slots where you can save your favourite programs.

We are now waiting for the XP Deus version 4 to be released, the best place to get the very latest XP Deus information is the XP Classroom here is the link.

-detectors.co.uk/

The XP Classroom is packed full of information and tutorials on how to set your new metal detector up. Take a look you will see what I mean, this is probably the best XP metal detecting web site out there..

A large coil is available for the Deus here is some more information !

Important note regarding field tests

Reports and reviews no matter what the product will be the opinion of the individual's involved.

Metal detectors can operate differently all over the country because soil conditions are different, some machines work better around iron contamination, others will work better on pasture. You will find no beach tests on this site.

US coinage is different to UK coinage therefore if you live in the US it may be wise to look for a US review on your particular machine.

If you don't agree with our field tests you are more than welcome to send in your own reviews I will be glad to publish them.

Finally be vary wary of internet forums, some are friendly...others have hidden agendas used for personal attacks on individuals also remember some are there to promote sales of a perticular brand.

People can be very brave when hidden behind false forum names some are indeed decent men.................. what happens between brain and keyboard is anyones guess!"
