IDK? We will see. Video on You tube .
I think the XP deus is the best machine on the market right now, all they could do is screw it up imo..Like my Friend Scott said, everyone is trying to reinvent the wheel.
How could they screw it up? Imagine the Deus with SMF tech that was at least as good as MIQ. Sure, it's unlikely, but think of how great of a machine that would be! Would probably cost more than $1,500, though...
I see no advantage in my finds using a simultaneous multi frequency machine. Actually I've played around with alot of machines,and nothing on the current market comes close to a deus now,just my opinion

I don't agree at all. Maybe in farm fields. Yes in iron only situations where the only nonferrous is sparse and is relics and coins. Trashy parks, trashy yards, and even clean yards nope. Around water nope. The Equinox is better all around detector. Pretty sure most would agree with that.
If they come up with a SMF Deus it might be a game changer for land hunting. Right now all I like about the Deus is it's ergonomics, but I'm still in the learning process.
Get rid of the wireless coil. A gimmick. An EMI nightmare. And a simultaneous multi frequency machine will do you absolutely no good on a salt water beach if you can't submerge the detector. No wire no underwater signal. And to top it all off the coils are over priced and just a pain to do the updating. Did I say get rid of the wireless coils?

In heavy thick modern trash I would choose anything over the deus,it's not a thick modern trash machine.
Unmasking tho I've seen the deus absolutely put the nox to shame. Even a Simple paperclip I stuck in the ground over a longtime buried 6 inch dime and the nox could not see it, set that 800 up everyway possible and it doesn't see the dime.
Put the deus in preset basic 1 and touch nothing, it just screams on that masked dime all the way around.
Not that it means I won't use the nox,I do . But I definitely feel more confident when I use the deus ,knowing what I know about the two.. I do pretty good with the deus tho in moderate modern trash, audio tells alot .

Yeah that was my point. They need to redesign the entire control module. After all it is a new detector. Putting it in a backpack? First how hard is it to wrap a coil wire into a ball? Secondly. ..how many people are putting it in a backpack? Switch coils quickly? What?...2 minutes vs 4 minutes? And to the EMI? Wireless transmission is an entry point for it to enter the system. Silent EMI is real.
Perfect ! One less hunter I gotta worry about. Because you will never hunt for gold in the water.That's the magic of the DEUS. How are you going to put a wired metal detector in your backpack? How are you going to change wired coils easily? Mix and match new coils with headphones and remote and you have two machines. The wireless is not a gimmick, it's awesome. I'll never get a wired detector.

I had the same “cons” as you are stating in your post until I bought a Deus, used it extensively and changed my opinion.
Mine lives in a backpack when I am not using it. Being a gold prospector in rough, mountain terrain, I can literally take the lower shaft and coil off of the upper shaft and arm cuff assembly, put the upper shaft down, hold the lower shaft and coil in my hand like a pinpointer and stick it into deep holes, crevices, use it to sweep over head, on a rock side wall……….. I can’t do that with my Equinox without dealing with a coil cable.
EMI for me has not been a problem. I live at 5,000 ft with lots of atmospheric EMI, urban Denver EMI and tons of law enforcement, first responder, military and commercial air craft EMI. Some detectors that don’t have selectable single frequencies are basically impossible to use here including several very famous FTP and Nokta Makro detectors. The Deus and ORX being wireless is just not a problem, EMI wise since there are up to 35 frequencies to choose from.
