I don’t follow all threads. Sorry.
You don’t either by your own admission.
Narrative?
It’s not me who questioned and bad mouthed Deus 2 then turned around and got one.
Think you even got one gent here who is recommending Deus 2 to poster for salt beach. And person doing the recommending don’t even own a Deus 2.
I decided my next detector gonna be a pulse... with Excal and Nox I got the VLF hunting covered... some beaches a VLF detectors are worthless at...
This beach... been hunting it for years... its a pulse beach you can leave discriminating detectors home... brought my friend Mark with his TDI PRO scored big... still has the wood in the backing part of button...

I miss my pulse detectors so I decided to forgo trying the D2 and going to go with what I know and enjoyed hunting with...one of my oldest rings I found there...ring dated 1869 wedding band marked 18k was just a negative repeatable break in threshold on my PI but I dig them all the time... it wasn't a fish hook... and if it was so what.. I started the hobby as a pulse hunter...
