Wow! That looks pretty awesome. Definitely "hyped up" in the advertisement but looks impressive! Thanks for sharing Doug

Cool but also, their website didn't display right so hopefully that just means they saved all the quality for the detectors. (probably not) Don't get why they make such a big deal out of everything being wireless, just seems like more batteries to charge to me, which is already a pain just with my other tech. The hyped up video didn't contain a ton of information, but presumably this thing will be either the same (unlikely) or more expensive than the first xp deus, which is a yikes for me anyway. There's a conspicuous lack of actual information about the detector beyond just "it has multifrequency" and some stuff about the tones it makes. Hilariously, the video which flashes the words wireless at you who knows how many times and literally repeats the words "no cable" like they're the most important thing in the world, contrasts sharply with the nifty bone conduction headphones they show off, which appear to have a cable. (Additionally, from what I've heard, bone conduction headphones are rather quiet, sometimes problematically so, so have fun with that) Regardless, I'll probably never have one of these unless it proves to be the best thing in the world which makes all other metal detectors worthless and additionally is cheap, which isn't likely and also transitions neatly to the fact that there's really no way of knowing how good this thing is until people actually buy them and find out.
Easy on the criticisms, it's just a marketing pitch. It's great we have some companies competing in this market and it sounds like this Deus 2 has a lot of things going for it. Lightweight, submersible, new tech of some sort. Performance TBD.

"£1450 for full DeusII with WS6, choice of 9 or 11" coil be with us some time in December."
£1450 = $1981 US so it ain't cheap for sure. Is it twice as good as the 800?
We will have to wait and see. Nokta is coming as well. Fisher??????????????
Johnny Metal I really like your honesty and attitude! “I just want a new toy to add to my hobby and think I deserve to buy myself a present”
That’s a page out of my playbook!
It’s a hobby! Had a friend tell me years ago a hobby is a way to spend money and waste time. Or maybe it was waste money and spend time. Either way it’s about having fun!
