Title: XP Goldmax v Deus Post by: celticspikey on October 01, 2013, 08:17:51 PM Most of you probably know I am a Minelab Sovereign Elite man, ;D and will not part with it ? however I fancy trying either the Goldmax or Deus, mainly on my medieval sites (full of Iron) in the hope that it winkle out a bit more silver close to Iron, and have a faster recovery speed? I would appreciate any thoughts, or your experience with either of these machines ;)

The Deus fast and Gmp programs will handle iron infested ground easily using the 9 inch coil. If you decide on a Deus get the full version not the lite as you have much more control of settings with it. I have found over 70 hammered with mine, a lot of which I have got on very mineralised ground and I am well pleased with the machine. Hope this helps.

I've used both and really liked the GMP. I use the Deus now just to avoid the foil really but avoiding foil can be a risky strategy as you know... if you go for the GMP get a straight shaft for it, well worth the money... the GMP will amaze you. Plus you can fit 3rd party coils at a much reduced cost.
I know someone who may consider selling his v4 with straight shaft, I can ask him for you if you like.
