Some targets, yes angle of approach is a factor,,,and even here a detector depending on the scenario can bring advantage,,,,but there is also this 3D performance the Deus brings that can sneak out finds in and around iron.
Tell you what.
If we went to a really old site.
And used both Deus and CTX both with 11" coils.
And we used both and marked targets.
And kept doing this and kept score cards.
In the end, I believe the scorecards would reflect,,, more targets were able to be detected with Deus that CTX wouldn't detect. And this would be swinging from all possible angles on targets.
Now, here is something to mention.
Coins are more thick, they are round and usually higher conductive.
So they can't hide as easily on average vs porous, out of round, non disc shaped.
So if we again run score cards pitting CTX 11" coil against Deus with 11" coil, the score cards wouldn't favor Deus as much as it did with the above exercise.
And, yes more junk targets likely dug using Deus.
Another scenario.
#1. If a knew a super duper Deus user had hunted a site with Deus and 11" coil,,pounded and hunted many times with mission of digging all nonferrous.
#2. Or if I knew a super duper CTX runner and had hunted a site with 11" coil,,pounded and hunted many times with mission of digging all nonferrous.
Of the 2 scenarios above,,,if I had to pick the one I had rather hunt?

Another scenario
#1 If I knew a super duper CTX runner and they had hunted a site with 11" coil and their goal was to selectively dig all high conductive targets.
#2 If I knew a super duper Deus runner and they had hunted a site with 11" coil and their goal was to selectively dig all high conductive targets.
Of the 2 scenarios above which one had I rather hunt behind? Looking for higher conductive coins?
#2
I would agree with all of those scenarios for the reasons mentioned at the end of my previous post. Deus will hit small lower conductors better and deeper than the CTX. It can see some targets that the CTX won't. CTX sounds off on deeper higher conductors better than the Deus IMHO, but the Deus can still see them. They just don't sound as good to my ears or ID as well. So if we're being selective, CTX has some advantage here. If we're just digging all non-ferrous, advantage = Deus. Just my opinion based on my experience with these machines.
