MineLab E-trac VS XP Deus

[rjm]

No I wont I.m just so ****** off with all the Deus E-trac shite

Well we all know the ET is the best there is..............


Your life is back on track now. Anything else I can help with 


What was that about the GPX4800 & GPX5000 ?     (Only joking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[DEUSBLOKE]

Well i reckon a machine is only as good as its user !!!! Theres a lot of top machines out there and each has its good and bad points and ive had and used just about all the top machines fortunately because i ran a business buying and selling them.Heres my own personal preference list.

1.DE-US
2.sovereign elite  (this is prob the deepest seeking machine ive used but heavy really)
3.e-trac
4.explorer xs
5 spectra v3i
6.omega 8000
7.fisher f4 (underated crackin machine)
8.mxt pro
9.garrett gti 2500 (weight lets this one down)
10.dfx
          Just my own preferences on the grounds i tend to use and ive detected just over 30 years.

Hi Pipster,
It would be interesting to no how old you are.I  would give a young man Four years detecting before he starts to have a pyscal problems with his Hands ,,,Arms.... Back ..etc.thats If you are useing  heavy machine like a Minelab etc.If you are  tall and strong a bit longer.
Your machine is one of the best on the market.I myself used to own an SE and found it a great machine,but oh what a let down over the weight of it.After three hours use my arms were droping off.
Be all and end all of the matter is if the Minelab was the same weight as the Deus i would get one.
The Deus is a  fabulas light machine,and Minelab would be foolish not to go down the same line.
Couple of my mates use Minelabs xs,they are having arm and back pains already.
Attended a large Rally a few weeks ago,was so suprised to see the amount of Deus out there.They are definatly on the increase..
Hi Rob,
Suprised you did not go for the Deus with problems you have had with your back,perhaps this might be a good idear in the future .Or was it they were not out at the time.(thinking of your back buddy).

[Tafflaff (Rob)]

Hi Gwil , No you could not get one for love nor money at the time i was buying the Etrac. To be honest though I'm so heavy handed with machines I'd be worried the Deus would fall apart in my hands.

[saxonman]

Thats what i thought  Rob,but with this new coil coming out would be on the par as yours.Anyway a little further down the road might be an option for you.

[Pipster]

Hi Gwil, I'm  51 and 5'10" tall ..and almost the same wide  I am not for one minute saying minelab is any better or any worse than the Deus ..... its horses for courses they are totally differrent machines, and one day I may be lucky enough to own both 

[saxonman]

I think the E Trac is far better on the beach at the moment,but with this new coil coming out could very well compete with it.I have said all along the weight has been my problem.By the sound of it like me you have a weight problem to .Dont let Bob wind us up,I am going to dig a big hole for him next week  and lets hope he falls in.If i was to put Pork Pies around the hole that sould attract him.who knows what might  happen then   .Your hands sould be ok at the moment,but another two years i would start to look for something lighter(Deus.or .a new lighter Minelab)If  they wake up in time.!!!!

Gwilym

And you go on about me!

Yesterday you stuffed a whole chicken, in two goes, into your mouth at 9.20am, before
setting off detecting. It was like watching Neandethal man in real life. However, I know you're not
from the stone age as you use a futuristic Deus!

I'm not fussed on pork pies. A bag of chips might do it though!  

[Roman (Ray)]

BUMP..LOL.

[saxonman]

And what a big bag of chips it is Bob

[rjm]

And what a big bag of chips it is Bob

The best chips are thick cut, fried in beef dripping until brown, with rock salt and distilled vinegar.  

The worst chips are McDonalds type.  

Next time we go,  we're definitely getting a bag to eat on the way home !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

[saxonman]

DEF....YOUR FLASH.

[Chef Geoff]

So what's happening with this big Deus coil, that's 2 I've now seen for sale and they've only been out a month???

[saxonman]

On you Bob.(chefs coment.).
