I've never had or used a Deus but it is surprising how many people have bought a Deus and either reverted back to the explorer or wish they'd never bought a Deus,

I've never used an E-trac or an explorer but I've had some great finds with the Deus. Both machines have their good and bad points but I think that the Deus will score on inland sites. If you want a dual purpose machine for beach and inland go for the e-trac.

I went from an etrac to a Deus myself. Mainly because the etrac's too heavy for me. The etrac is a brilliant machine and will never let you down once mastered. When I first got my Deus I was forever digging up iron and rubbish. I still do but I also dig up more of the good stuff with the Deus then with the etrac. The etrac made me picky what I dug because it has a such a good target id. so I was leaving the iffy signals alone.

Very good point Little_bro the screen can make us lazy, I met a couple who detect virtually full time and who had had incredible success using the XP GMP's, they changed to the Deus and their find rate plummeted. The reason wasn't the machine but the fact that they were using and believing the screen, as soon as they pocketed the remote and used the audio only their rate went back up to above that of the GMP.
Both are great machines and both have their place Wink
