Deus

[Chainsaw Bampy]

hi  i know there are a lot of Deus users out there, but are they really worth the money or would someone be better off buying some other cheaper model?  all comments invited. ta butties.

As you know I'm still a trainee with the Deus but my opinion, at the moment, is the only thing in it's favour is the weight. Oh and it's wireless.

[hotmill]

It's a cracking machine once you get used to it, same as any high end detector, then add in that it's light and wireless.

[bristolminelab]

Fast, light, deep and more tailored user options to suit personal preferences and conditions , was a defo upgrade from a minelab which was is a good machine but in my opinion the Deus is better

[wet feet again]

The Deus is worth every penny light wireless and compact. Once through the learning curve as with any detector you wont look back

[Chef Geoff]

"Are they really worth the money"? No definitely not but only in the sense that no metal detector is but is it worth having? Certainly is as it's a lovely machine to use light and adaptable and as bristolminelab says very fast recovery, whether it's "better" than other machines is another question as all are really very much of a muchness above a certain price band.
I use as my main machine a 17 year old Explorer and when I was able to get out a couple of times a week I was finding 30+ hammereds a year and way over 100 Roman but that of course is partly down to the land your on and more importantly the miles you put in detecting as logic dictates that the more ground you cover the more you will find and if you find the Deus more enjoyable to use you'll probably be out there more

It's great machine the more I use it the more I love it if its there it will find it

[probono]

It's light, it's wireless, it folds down to something very small, it's like buying a new detector if you want to change the coil.

I had one, my children liked it, I sort of did too - it was quite good for parks as I was using the smaller coil on it and pinpointing was good.

Is it better than other machines - for me, personally, no - had better luck with my E-TRAC last year, but that's what you walk over most of the time.....so I sold it, along with a few other machines, but it is much lighter than a minelab

Hi. Taken time to get used to my Deus. Had doubts I was ever bond with it. But I have started to pull in the hammys with it now. So it,s got my thumbs up.

After over 5 years using one I have never regretted taking the plunge. Jerry.
