Alright,,more data Deus V4.
Six hour hunt,,,exactly the same site previously talked about here above.
No problems noted with V4 using 2 different complete detector setups,,even coils seem to be linking up well.
This ground balance is different on V4 vs V3.
I was able to do a successful pumping ground balance using all reactivity settings levels using both a 11" and 9" coil,,using version 3.2,, I could never get a successful pumping ground balance using reactivity 3 or higher.
Deus lite users,,,or Deus full package users whose remote battery may die or they maybe forget their remote when they go detect.
Some useful info here for ground balancing manually,,which a Deus lite user must do.
I experimented with this,,,here are my recommendations based on what I witnessed.
Set disc to -2.5,, select your frequency you want to use,,bob coil over clean ground,,lower GB setting until you start getting feedback,,then increase a couple points.
Doing this will get you so close to what if you had a remote and could do a tracking or pumping Gb would achieve.
Couple things here,,you likely will get no feedback as you raise your coil,,no matter how negative or positive you are with your GB setting,,,only feedback as you lower coil to ground.
If you choose to use disc setting lower than what I have stated above,,especially a -6.4 setting,,you will get tremendous feedback,,,even if GB is set right,, meaning you have no way of knowing when you achieve proper GB using your ear/feedback from ground as a guide.
I ran both the 9" and 11" coils today,,,moreso the 9" coil.
Deus V4 is more stable on my ground (with proper GB,,either spot on or a bit higher phase wise) vs V3.2.
This to me really shows itself moreso with the use of 11" coil using V4.
I did run with even lower disc than -2.5 today,,even -6.4,, I didn't sneak any extra finds out by using either.
I still think disc setting of -2.5 is about right to run either the 9" or 11" coil.
Using the 11",,,,if you choose to run lower disc than -2.5., expect to hear some ground feedback as you sweep,,now to be fair milder ground may not be as bad here.
Using 9" coil,,running lower disc than -2.5 seems not to provide ground feedback vs 11" coil,,and is IMO useable in my ground .
Uaing 11" coil in this site,,remember it is loaded with iron and nails,,and I ran both 2.5 and 3 reactivity setting,,silencer -1,,Use of the 11" coil here is what I heard.
Uaing 11" coil in this ferrous mess,,it does work,,but for whatever reason,,some nails and or iron,,have a hard time being transitioned with tone,,,user likely to dig more iron due to vs using 9" coil.
When the 11" coil is tonally trying to roll up on nail or iron,,in the very middle of the transition,,an elongated ( still short) high tone,,suspicious sounding when compared to use of 9" coil,,,but this is happening over ferrous not a nonferrous target,,like the 9" coil does when it performs.
Deus V4,, reporting of nonferrous targets is changed vs V3.2.
Nonferrous tone is sharper,,more narrow,,,not the gradual rise up and fall like using V3.2,, not as overly smooth using V4 vs V3.2,,, but from an alert stanpoint,,V4 is better here IMO.
Users of V4 will definitely be able to dig more nonferrous out of a ferrous laden site vs V3.2 if they will learn version.
User of V4,, I think will find more nonferrous,,,but will also IMO find more iron,,but in the end IMO it is the nonferrous overall numbers that count.
I still haven't heard the first target using V4,,that gives that lower murmur tone like I am accustomed to hearing using V3.2.
I did get one target today,,that is the closet I've seen,,a nice old button,,but this signal still not as low sounding vs V3.2.
Also dug another sizeavle nonferrous target,,,and I know I had swept before with versions 3.2 and 2.0,, right beside where I recovered 2 CW buttons previously.
Why do I think I found this sizable target today using V4,, and not the others,?
This target today,,acted different,,,using version 3.2 and 2.0,, this target had signature morseso of relic iron hit,,I've dug enough relic iron with both of those versions,,when you sweep,,meter gets hung like in the 30s or so,,steady buzzing tone,,actually a more monster sounding target. Today the target again sounded monster sized,,,but based on tone,,more intelligent to a slight degree,,like this target using V4 was winning out with its conductivity moreso vs the surround iron,,when compared to 3.2 and 2.0.
.Unless some thing happens I'm unaware of I am threw with V3.2.
Deus with V4 is one hot detector on lower conductors now.
To sum up here,,Using Deus V4 in this one site for roughly 14-15 hours,,,I found more nonferrous finds than the previous approximately 200 hours combined using some other detectors including Deus V2.0 and 3.2 using both 9 and 11" coils. Other detectors too. And remember I am still rookie status with V4 on Deus.
Say any thing here you think???
