I agree! Having both machines is an added Bonus!! Myself, I have the CTX3030,
Equinox 800, and the XP Deus 2. I’ve found incredible stuff with all 3 machines.
I got the Deus 2 for the possibilities to find missed stuff at some of My best spots that I’ve hammered with both the CTX and Nox.
I started returning to yards that produced the best Silver and older coins. The first yard I found a couple tax tokens that were missed. This yard had also been hunted by two other people after Me.
The next was My eye opener. In Deep HC and the Reactivity and Sensitivity tweaked, I ended up after 4 return hunts pulling 8 older Wheats, an 1800’s Indian and 2 Mercs in heavy iron and trash.
Now, whether I just got lucky or not, to Me that showed A lot. I haven’t put the Deus 2 down since I got it. Yes the CTX got Me some extreme depth, but I’m getting very good depth with My Deus 2 set the way I have it.
Will I never swing My Nox, or CTX again? I’m sure I’ll get them out once in awhile, but if I can go over My own tracks, and yards that have been pounded and find stuff, I’m sure I’ll be using the Deus 2 often.
As for technological aspects, I’m clueless, but from hunting with it in hand, I’m impressed.
Definitely not cutting any of the 3 machines I own down. They all do very Good. I do however feel that the Deus 2 has given Me an upper hand.
Whichever way this info goes or however it’s interpreted, We can find Great finds with any 3 of these machines. Happy Hunting!!!
