![]() As I mentioned in my 2-page review-article on XP Deus, switching from a heavy Minelab E-Trac to the lightweight, versatile Deus back in 2013 was beneficial and exciting for me because my finds rate increased, and many old, hunted out sites came back to life.ĭespite a quite steep learning curve of the Deus as a feature-loaded detector, and some critical issues with the Deus charging system, the Deus coil's built-in battery that can not be easily replaced and would be inevitably losing most its capacity in a few years, and some less critical flaws in design, the Deus V3.2 turned out to be an effective machine at every hunt site I visited. This was the only way to climb the Deus' steep learning curve within one season instead of three seasons, and begin getting satisfactory results. I acquired an XP Deus in the beginning of my metal detecting season 2012 and immediately began experimenting with this machine while intensively using and field-testing it five days a week for the entire season. My Experience with XP Deus Before V4.0 Release This write-up also describes my own experience and experiences of other users of the Deus V3.2-V5.X. This article is rather lengthy because it sheds light on a development strategy, business plans and marketing tricks of XP Metal Detectors in regard to its main product - XP Deus. When armed with knowledge, both the beginner-detectorists and weathered treasure hunters can avoid unpleasant experiences with the latest products as well as exasperation and disappointment which may result from not only following the latest fad and/or being influenced by hype, but also by misleading info given by the manufacturer. ![]() I believe that all hobby enthusiasts have a right to know both good and bad facts on any particular manufacturer or its metal detector(s) and accessories. This is why, the main principle I always follow while writing my articles is to provide all available, truthful info on any subject in focus. A lightweight setup, adjustable recovery time, and the flexibility of 21 frequencies give you all the customization you need in one single detector.As I have never been affiliated with any metal detector manufacturer, I have kept my web site as an independent source of information for detectorists.
