Title: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: Scott on February 24, 2011, 12:26:55 PM Well hello to everyone!
i wandered onto this site by accident a while back. enjoyed reading all the posts and you seem a friendly bunch? about time i opened my mouth cos i don't want to appear rude by being silent! started detecting in the late 80's. had a few breaks in between. working long time in herefordshire/gloucestershire, so back and forth to Brecon. still using my first detector Fisher1265-X. but its poorly now so after loads of research, ordered a Deus! ( Sarcastic comments always welcome!! ;D ) also have a shiny DFX sitting in the cupboard which i am ashamed to say i never really used, cos i'm too impatient to get the hang of it? ??? my problem, not the detectors! ::) Hope to get to know you all in time? Scott ;) Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: doddy10 on February 24, 2011, 12:44:05 PM Hi m8

Val Thank You Val! ;D Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: doddy10 on February 24, 2011, 07:09:24 PM People rave about the Deus, but I would rather leave mine in the car. I upgraded the software on it to give me the iron, not iron horseshoe and had banging signals saying not iron, dig them up and it is IRON. I rarely dig any iron using the etrac so unsure just where I am going wrong with the Deus

I rarely dig any iron using the etrac so unsure just where I am going wrong with the Deus I don't have mine yet but i have read some people are not happy with the v2 software? can you roll back? is it just the vdi or has the iron tone changed also? ??? Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: Scott on February 24, 2011, 07:21:48 PM Welcome to the site Scott, nice club in Brecon. Thanks Steve! maybe i'll call in? when do you meet and where? Cheers Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: doddy10 on February 24, 2011, 07:22:13 PM you can roll back ,but I find it very difficult to tell some iron signals from good ones even the horseshoe lies ! Have a play when you get yours and let us know how you get on with it

Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: Scott on February 24, 2011, 07:42:30 PM Hi Scott, check you messages, information sent to you. PM'd you thanks Scott Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon!

Have a play when you get yours and let us know how you get on with it i wrote you but its gone walkabout somewhere? so i'll try again i personally try not to use meters too much. i train my ears. have you seen 'Back To Basics' dvd by Roger the Relic? the bloke uses a GMP and knows it inside out. you got 2 hours of listening to all the different signals and how to suss them? well most of them because some are so 'iffy' you just dig as you know? its real 'in the field' stuff! well worth getting and re watching for reference in my opinion hope this might be of some help to you? ??? nothing worse than not bonding with your detector! happened to me with the DFX. :'( good luck mate. Scott Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: doddy10 on February 24, 2011, 08:16:07 PM cheers for that I have just ordered it from ebay. I have no faith at all in the Deus, hopefully the DVD will help
Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: handyman [Alan} on February 24, 2011, 08:19:54 PM give me 1st option on the Deus, should u decide to sell it!! ::) ::)
Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: Scott on February 24, 2011, 08:33:57 PM cheers for that I have just ordered it from ebay. I have no faith at all in the Deus, hopefully the DVD will help i really considered the E trac, but i've got a dodgy shoulder and just couldn't risk not being able to use it. shame! Scott Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: doddy10 on February 24, 2011, 08:40:17 PM Cant sell it the damn thing was a gift.
If I cannot get to grips with it then I will be buying something else as a backup machine, but it will not be an XP ! I managed to talk my partner into a days detecting hoping she would enjoy it and want to join in ( more detecting time for me see :) ) The mistake I made was letting her use the Deus, tons of iron later one very fed up gf and an early finish for me on a fantastic site with Roman, saxon and medieval finds. I am due back there sometime in march, but will be going alone this time Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: doddy10 on February 24, 2011, 08:41:11 PM Etrac weight isnt so bad you get lots of rest digging targets :D
Title: Re: A BIG hello from Brecon! Post by: outlaw on February 24, 2011, 09:21:50 PM There are a lot of detectorists that might think you ought to give the Deus more time and be patient with it.
