After about 6 weeks of testing and close on 100 acres, my custom program for the XP Deus 2 metal detector has been upgraded and revamped from 3 tones to 5 tones. Running well on software version 2.0, not tried it on 3.x as of yet.

I have found it very good at recognising foil scrap which comes up between 40~49 VDI and has a separate tone (so you can hear and recognise knowing to avoid).

Already found 3 hammys, a small Roman Minum, Viccy/George pennies, buckles, bronze pieces and bag seals so it definitely produces.

The field I am on is lovely and quiet for the majority and I run this at 97 Sensitivity and 1.5 Reactivity a max freq of 40khz and it remains stable . In the trashy part I have found reducing the max freq to 24khz, 95 Sensitivity and 2.0 Reactivity usually suffices.

I have been testing this on pasture and a freshly dug up spud field.

If you have a spare slot please give it a go and let me know what you think.
