Got it a few weeks ago, but was only able to get out with it a couple times.  I sort of like it, but it does not live up to the hype so far.  I like its weight, target location, and iron detection.  I don&#8217;t think it is deeper than the E-Trac, at least so far (but there is alot to learn), and its TID is dreadful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this point, I do not see it replacing the E-Trac as my bread and butter machine, but it could still be a specialty machine for fields, the beach, and old farmsites, so I rarely hunt beaches, and have yet to test it on old farmsites.  It may also be better in mineralized ground, we&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Way too early to make a judgment, but so far the E-Trac is winning.  Deus is was easier to swing and more efficient, but the TID doesn&#8217;t come close to the E-Trac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I only have 6 hours, and want to get to 100 to make a judgment.  Links to some of my comments on FMDF, and my second hunt, which includes a toasted half cent, which I don&#8217;t find too often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/022122.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"623\" height=\"357\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/022122.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3096\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/022122.jpg 623w, https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/022122-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/022122-500x287.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 623px) 100vw, 623px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/022122a.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"286\" height=\"275\" src=\"http:\/\/www.puzzlemaze.org\/df\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/022122a.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3097\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/metaldetectingforum.com\/showthread.php?p=3369105\">http:\/\/metaldetectingforum.com\/showthread.php?p=3369105<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/metaldetectingforum.com\/showthread.php?t=294879\">http:\/\/metaldetectingforum.com\/showthread.php?t=294879<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Got me a new Deus II.
