Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum.
I need help buying a new metal detector, I'm really torn between an Etrac and a Deus (common dilemma )
I'm a coin / relic hunter, not interested in digging iron. My research conditions are as follows: highly mineralized soils (volcanic soils), often polluted. Always in land, no beach.
I had an XP Goldmaxx Power, which gave me some satisfaction, but I found the following problems: a little unstable and not too deep due to mineralization, very scarce in discrimination (I believe because of mineralization, but I had to dig too much, often to find only iron or pieces of tinfoil).
I had the chance to try an Etrac for a while and I found it incredible for its depth and ability to discriminate even in mineralized soil. Only problem: very very heavy.
I am currently very attracted to Deus, due to its lightness, reactivity and comfort with wireless, but I am afraid that in highly mineralized soil it does not go much better than Goldmaxx Power (with regard to depth and discrimination).
I don't want to dig hundreds of holes without even going too deep. Can I find myself in this situation with a Deus in mineralized soils? Is it better to buy an Etrac?
Thanks
