Calabash back after the gold today with Deus 2 on beach

[tnsharpshooter]

I don't get this video TN... is this in response to what I mentioned yesterday about the South African test hunt?

If it is those chirps they were more than chirps they could mask a target...

Beach hunters know each beach can have different amount of salt content... where I hunt the salt is a non factor we have fresh water mixing with the salt making some spots brackish... now go to Florida and salt becomes an issue...

The detector looks like another tool for the beach right now but so far its nothing I can't achieve with the Excal or Nox... I am seeing nothing dug with depth...

I have seen some targets missed which will cause a target to sink but I cut them slack on that they are new to beach hunting... a couple of the targets were in the side wall on previous video's put out.. I was talking to the video move to the left its in the wall

Again any detector is going to find what CB found yesterday... the area was washed out down to gravel... the video proves only stability...

When I go into the water with my Excal its stable as is the Nox... I don't get any extra chirping or whatever...

A little advice... stop pushing this so hard its starting to turn people off...

There was one video done Deus 2 vs EQX.
When water came in over coil EQX signal went more of a poof.
Deus 2 still gave pretty good signal.

TN... just because CB got that result at the place he was hunting doesn't make it so someplace else.. I know the Deus is a good detector I have a friend who hunts with one in the dirt and he gets incredible depth with it..


I'm not putting this detector down... I just want to see if it will give me an advantage up here...

All beaches are different, different mineralization, different salt content...

A test of a detector is not one size all for beaches...

I will wait for Carter who hunts many of the same area's up here that I do..

Just got off phone with Calabash.
He’s putting Deus 2 though paces today. Trying deus 2 on micro jewelry at Myrtle beach.
His results thus far sound very very promising.

He is videoing too.

So we’ll get to see soon.

See if you can get him to put on some waders and try that thing in the wash/crash zone if he knows what that is. That one inch deep water he was in on his upswing before he said Gopro stop recording was starting to chatter. So in the crash zone that thing might carry on like crazy. Serious request. Hardcore beach hunters want to know this type stuff. If he can't get wet i understand.

Well even that "1 inch" moving wave wash here, sets my Nox on it's ace.

Can't even begin to explain the amount of detection loss with just an inch or two of moving water above the coil on the Nox.

Plenty of Vids at this point to show differently on the Deus. Also vids showing lose targets in water filled holes too, but I would like to see more as well.

I have hunted the exact beach where John is making his videos with an Equinox 800 in 1 inch to knee deep water. The problem there is not the salt levels. It's EMI. Equinox 800 in Beach 2 with sensitivity around 20 works just fine if EMI is managed. There is some occasional wave chatter with the 11" coil. With the 6" coil the Equinox 800 in Beach 2 in the surf is very quiet. I have hunted the dry sand there with Park 1 and Park 2....no problem with salt, just EMI.

Deus 2 in Diving mode from the short bits John has shown is quiet. That's good. Beach and Beach Sensitive from what I have seen are handling EMI very well. I would like to see Beach Sensitive operating in shallow surf.

This comment doesn't help me at all. You are preaching to the choir. Been using a Nox since they first came out. I hunt rough surf in Florida East coast. Neck deep, knee deep, etc. EMI gives me a fit. The surf does not!

Same here no problem , now the EMI yes around some condo's but not all , certain stretches I have to back of the sensitivity to 20, otherwise I am 23- to 25

Yes and as far a detector losing depth as water goes over the coil? Heck they all do! Remember when i ran out and bought a CTX after the hype. Think i was the first one to post about it losing depth on deep targets back in the day when water passed over the coil? Another good test for Calabash. If it doesn't they are really hyping this thing with bunk. We know what salt does!

The natural progression for a beachhunter is as follows : 1st you practice on the dry , then when you have mastered the wet are you ready for the water. During these stages you are learning about the detector , your scoop , you're own physical limits , conditions and reading the beach. Not something done in a few weeks. There could be many reasons why guys don't hunt the water. Some can't swim , fear of sharks , etc. Others may be like the wicked witch , they will melt when water is splashed on them.

Never had a problem falsing with a Nox 15" coil in and out of water with the correct settings in mineralized salt water here. EMI , yes. Reading these responses , I can tell who knows their stuff and who knows jack squat. Some of it is random ramblings and guesswork which is due to a lack of experience. But that's ok , we all had to learn somehow. Just stop ramming nonsense down our throats when the hardcore beach guys know what's up.

When someone has to keep comments off on Youtube it isn't a good sign. Heck i mold concrete statues. Ordered one from a guy who is a master mold maker in his own mind. Ad just says you get a mold in about 4 to 8 weeks. Comments disabled. Year later my mold shows up and a kid could have made this mold.

Thought of a joke detecting this morning. Hunting up in the dry sand by the dunes. Guy walking by points down and asks " What's that?" I say " A Deuce!" He says " Looks like it says Equinox?"

Well I do not know if you understand rough surf. I can't hunt neck or knee deep here because I would be dead.

What I am talking about is standing on wet sand and then have forceful water come shooting past you up to waist deep, then retracting and leaving you on wet sand momentarily, before the next blast.

All while watching what bodies come shooting past you like bowling pins.

When air-entrained water moves past you and back down the slope at that speed, detection ability is cut in half at best with the Nox.

Might want to see if Calabash will try this? I hunt rough surf. Still got chipped teeth to prove it i did while detecting in the surf. But i do not hunt Tsunami's. I am not crazy! Where i live in Florida every hurricane that forms in the East heads straight for my house. Just depends how lucky i am when they turn.

I will say, most people i know in waves you are talking of face the surf. When you are in the wet sand and see a massive wave coming you run for the dunes. The last thing i am worried about with a wave that big is if it is affecting coil depth.

He may get lucky... watching news other day if they ran out of road sand they were going to take it from Myrtle Beach... how rings or chains are in the streets?

In Georgia you used to could find Megalodon teeth in the road fill just north of me. Probably not as cool as a gold chain though?

I was going to make a vid with an Excal 800 and a gold ring and iron. But decided i am just pharting in the wind. End of the day you guys do you. I'm getting some popcorn.

Please ask CB to do a video testing gold chains (without pendants) with the Deus II. Will be interesting to see if the beach sensitive mode can pick them up.

I have found a few gold chains and earrings with the NOX which are dead silent on my Excal 2.

I’ll pass along to him.
We talked little while ago.
He is going to try few other things tomorrow setting wise.
He may use 9” coil some too.
To see if it is better or worse or same on the small stuff versus 11” coil.

An intercepted memo from a trusted source.

Dear Mr. Calabash
Though we share in your enthusiasm and exuberance of your Beta testing beach find videos , there is one thing that you've continually done that you have been warned not to do. Throwing , dropping , abusing our XP Deus 2 detectors on the ground when you make a find. These are still delicate , computerized instruments. This is not the message our company endorses or promotes. Therefore we have decided to move in a different direction. These belong in more serious , experienced hands. Please remit all remaining XP detectors and proprietary information or you will be billed at full retail price.

We wish you well in your future endeavors.

Sincerely , Team XP
