Hi there,
I use the Deus most of the time Yes - (because
it is faster)  to use on ploughed land,
with more land to cover quicker.
I bought the Etrac mostly for grass land, with the SEF coil
which is great on iron infested sites, as I think this
is where the Etrac comes into it's own - on good depth.
That's why BOTH these Great Machines are the most
popular and wanted - on the market.!!!!
For Wales which has a lot of grass area  - that's why
the Etrac is a very popular choice, especially
at rallies.
It is what you prefer personally in the end, so
I can't knock either of these machines.
What do the other members think - please continue,
before someone gets a real detector - which has
a proven record.

Yes it has the lightness of a feather. 

But then I don't have to be trussed up in a crane type harness to detect.

Yes, The E Trac is a great all round machine, it's biggest
draw back being it's weight and charging system.

It's a good price for a little used machine so hopefully you
won't take long selling.

I don't want to hijack this thread but, why is the charging system a drawback? I just take one battery out and put another one in. 3 hour charge and 8 hours use. No problem

A motorcycle battery is only slightlier heavier than the two batteries you have to carry! 


Lithium Polymer batteries are the way to go. Top up at anytime without memory effect.......and charge
up in the field.  No 240volt mains needed.

I dont tend to carry both batteries. I put fresh AA's in at the start of a detecting day and they always last for at least the next three days.

I keep the rechargable battery in the car just in case but its on trickle charge from a solar panel on my roof.

I find I only actually need the harness if I am using the bigger SEF coils. The standard coil is pretty light.

The Deus only works if you remember to switch it on. it is silent till you get a signal so it can confuse old duffers with arthritis.

Your behind the times Bob there is no memory affect with NiMH batteries, that was the older NiCd batts.

No, Chef, I'm 10 years ahead of the times...........I'm using Lithium Polymer batteries which is the latest
battery technology.

The Deus only needs to sound when it's found a target.............unlike a Monsterlab which hums because it's
happy it's switched on. And, OMG, it gets really excited when it approaches iron and an orchestra commences
playing. And all this via wires.

Even my front doorbell works without the attachment of wires.
