    You can view the complete setup and instalation instructions on how to update your headphones, remote control and coil software over at the XP deus website, it's important to make sure all of your devices are fully charged before beginning the update!

    Here's a quick overview of the changelog:

    The Radio connection between MI-6 and DEUS is now more reliable and faster.

    New EXPERT Mode : GROUND SENSITIVITY

    New menu addition "Ground Sensitivity" in GB > EXPERT. This new setting makes it possible to adjust the machines ability to track soils according to their intensity. This makes it possible to avoid tracking on soils with a low mineralisation.

    • GROUND SENS low (1 to 5): Slightly mineralized soils are ignored and the DEUS does not track and will not display ground values, the Deus will default to the recommended level.

    • GROUND SENS high (6 to 10): The

  3. A Customers Metal Detecting Find of a Lifetime!

    Special thanks to Justin for sending in this story and pics of his once in a lifetime find!

    Back in February, I purchased a brand-new Garrett AT Pro from Big Boys Hobbies, and it proved to be the best machine I have ever used. In October, I found something with it that made my year… A cache of rings!

    My buddy and I were hunting for Civil War relics on a property that was part of a large Civil War camp. There was also a house on this lot up until about 5 years ago, so we found a lot of non-Civil War related stuff as well. It became a fall back spot for when we just wanted to get out for a quick hunt. On one hunt, I found something completely unexpected. I got a strong, high 80s signal on the AT Pro. I dug down, and pulled a dirty but very heavy wallet out of the ground. Thinking it was full of change, I called my hunting buddy over to take a look. The zipper was corroded and seized, so I took my digging tool and cut it open. Staring back at me were several gold a

    MINELAB EQUINOX 800 and 600 Series Release Date

    Minelab announced today that the new EQUINOX Series of detectors is expected to be available for purchase worldwide from late January, 2018 onwards.

    Since Minelab Metal Detectors first announced the EQUINOX series at Detectival in September, there has been unprecedented market interest in this product range.

    Volume production of detectors has started and will continue at a rapid rate across December 2017 and into the new year. Detectors are expected to start to be delivering in late January 2018, subject to supply and shipping dates.

    Customers who have pre-ordered detectors should thus expect to start receiving them from late January. No firm dates on when we will be caught up with back orders will be available since it all depends on how many Minelab sends us.

  7. Use your Metal Detector on Halloween?

    Tonight the ghosts and goblins roam the streets on Halloween night in search of the one elusive house that gives out full size candy bars! Dads follow aimlessly behind carrying flash lights and parts of the kids costume as they remove them so they can run even faster to the next house. We Dads pilfer through the candy bag and grab a quick laffy taffy snack to tide us over on the long trip. Moms hand out treats at the door to all the princesses and pirates that venture up in search of sugar treats. They help the one kid that has a ripped candy bag from a prior fall but is still hard at work gathering more loot.

    We as metal detectorist have a great tool to ease Mom's mind of candy tampering. We can simply sweep the bag of candy with our metal detector and test for any metal object foul play. Be sure to turn your discrimination all the way down so we can hear anything that might have found its way in the bag. Not to mention we can convince
