If Calabash would enable comments on youtube you two wouldn't have to click bomb links everywhere. I remember my first beach hunt too!You are correct, he favored the Deus first, then told people that the Equinox was the machine except in heavy iron, and now he is letting everyone know that the Deus 2 is going to be a major factor in all arenas moving forward. I just can't understand why people are so against this new machine. The new tech gives you an advantage that these other machines are lacking in. All Calabash is doing is showing what it is capable of but some on here are so stuck in the old tech and their supposed pimped out excals that they are blinded by it and refuse to believe that any machine would rival theirs. I get it though you are use to something and don't want to give it up for the unknown. I refused to use the equinox for relic hunting initially because I was so hung up on the deus. Eventually though I saw the performance of it and it became my go to machine. We all have been fleeced by metal detecting companies with false promises and I understand the wait and see attitude. When you get fooled so many times you can be afraid to take that leap. This machine though is going to be special. It will be just a matter of time before all of us will know and then those that have been so reluctant can make their decisions on whether its the machine for them or not. I do believe that unlike the past detectors from other companies this one just might deliver. Sit back and enjoy what you are seeing and hope that XP does deliver because its a win for every detectorist out there if they have done what so many have wanted for a long time. Happy hunting !!!
