I'm not long into my second year of detecting and have been using a Garrett Ace 400i, which I found great as a newbie to the hobby. Notched up 5 hammered and 2 romans so it was a great detector but felt it was time I got my teeth into a more in-depth detector.
Decided to upgrade to the Deus v4 with a 5x9 High Frequency coil and took her out for the first time this morning onto a field which I've been over and over with the Garrett, to a point I thought there was nothing left. I can't get over how wrong I was! Only used the basic program but wow, the Deus is a beast!!! It was like being on a new field with so many good signals. Picked up a nice little Victoria 1853 threepence. I used to get a lot of interference on this field with the Garrett but nothing with the Deus! I was digging a fair bit of iron and hot rocks but I need to learn what I can do with the menu on the detector. I was amazed at the small targets I was finding at depth!
Feels like I've gained a whole load of new permissions, as I can't wait to go over them all again
