- By popular demand I was asked by several of you to go over the X&Y Display. Your wish is my command. Here it is. IMO this feature is one of the best features that is included in the Deus II but it was also in the original Deus. Sorry ORX users this feature is not available to you. I'll walk you through how to find the X&Y display, enable it, and take advantage of the "Zoom" feature which I discovered myself in the video. We are learning this machine together so join us and get the most out of this new XP metal detector called the Deus II.

Just about a perfect presentation! You are soooo much better than the other guys "trying" to demonstrate. Thanks for placing the head up and in perfect view of the camera. No guessing which buttons you are pushing.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video, the whole series is great for anyone interested or about to receive a new Deus 2!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey mate it’s Paul from Aussie coin Hunter youtube channel here. I’ve just left the garrett family and got myself an xp deus 2 after leaving my last job. Thanks for your video mate!, what a massive learning curve but I’m glad you’ve got videos out there for me.
Tossing up wether or not to end my channel as no one seems interested he he he. Thanks for who you are mate. You’ve helped me in the past also.
All the best to you and your family
Thank you my friend. I'm glad these videos have helped you. Thanks for the comment.
Going through all of your "XP Deus 2 for beginners" series videos. Extremely well done, can't thank you enough for making my introduction to the XP Deus2 that much smoother! 👍
Glad they are helping and you are welcome.
Thank you Scott great presentation best online.
I appreciate that!
Thanks so much for explaining this feature of the XPDeus ll . I really learned how beneficial this feature is when coin hunting!!👏👏👏
Glad to help!
Not sure why this one only has 490 likes, great examples
Thank you!
Thanks for making this video easy to understand Geoff
Glad it was helpful!
Another great video for someone like me, who is brand new to the XP Deus2 metal detector! 👍
Awesome give it some time and I think you'll love it. Thank you 😊
I wish you used rings of various metals with this example. I'm a CTX guy and think this may be my new standard screen to use on the saltwater beach! Thanks Scott
Great suggestion!
When hunting in heavy Iron, is the only way u can cut out the iron so mostly good targets come in , I used to like the horse shoe feature on the nox 800 , was very easy to silence the iron on the nox
Silencer is the setting to cut out iron. The higher you increase the number the more it cancels out iron. But you have to find a good balance otherwise you will lose other targets and/or lose depth. I never go higher than 3.
Nice one dude looks like you found a great setting there
Thanks for the visit
Thanks Scott for the really thorough video, you are one of the best at showing how to use the D2, I like that you test so many targets and compare. That #4 looks like a killer!
Thanks Kenny I appreciate that. I'm learning it with you.
Awesome video! I'll go with that setting too whenever and if ever I get this thing.
You will. Good luck.
Love the video. Other guys don’t show it clearly. Or in the actual hunts to show numbers on targets. Etc. They don’t look to see if we can see. Cause the glare of the sun. Etc. Especially for guys like me new to this. And I orderred the deus 2. And gonna be learning it. So videos like this truly help!! Subscribed and watch all your videos. (:
Awesome glad you are getting something out of them. Thank you for subbing.
Merci pour cette très bonne vidéo explicative 👍👍
Xp la tech à la française 👌 fier de notre technologie 😊
I am trying to learn all I can before my Deus II arrives but after watching videos on its settings I feel a bit overwhelmed. I hope with hours on it and experience it all becomes much easier for me. Good video Scott
Its not that bad, if you start chasing all of these other programs people build you will struggle. Learn the stock stuff first then start making some slight changes and it will come together for you. Thanks for watching!
Really a piece of cake to work. Best to start in General for a few hours. Like anything else, your brain will get it. Just takes a little longer as we ripen.
I appreciate your words of encouragement. Can't wait to get this thing.
I have gained confidence in my unit guided by these videos.👍👍
Excellent program,thanks
Glad you liked it!
My XP Deus 2 just showed up today!
I hope you enjoy it. Its a great machine.
Good channel well explained thanks Scott 🇬🇧🚒👍
Thank you much appreciated!
great video friend, make a video showing the difference between gold ring and pull tabs. thanks
Excellent video with a good demonstration of the XY screen. Happy hunting Jason
thanks Jason!
I’ve had the D2 for a few weeks now and haven’t been able to get any deep targets other than big iron and aluminum. I took it to a favorite spot of mine where I dig 8 to 9 inch IHC’s, barbers and even a Morgan with the nox 800 and it just sounds like a machine gun when I open it up, not emi just an old 1800’s fairgrounds site that moved in about 1908. It bangs on shallow stuff, targets no deeper than about 5 inches The horseshoe for depth I’ve figured out but a quick switch button to go to xy without all the button pushing would be handy. I will say I have pulled a couple of silvers with it but they could have been found with any machine only about 3 inches deep Not giving up as I know it’s new and I’m new to deus technology but for now I use it for a while to try and learn a little and it goes back in the truck and nox comes out to seriously detect. I’ve dug more trash in February than I did in a year with the nox. I keep hearing its tonal and man a high tone sounds like a high tone 90% of the time to me so it’s kicking my butt so far. I’m looking forward to a few programs that help. Xy did help a little but I still found it looking good and being fooled more than pleased. I am going to use the zoom 4 next time out. Depth is biggest concern though it’s got to be able to hit deeper than I’m making it go or it will be third backup behind my simplex. 😵💫
Tony give it some more time, the secret is in the tones. I've been digging some pretty deep coins with in in Park as well as Deep HC. You may need to adjust your silencer and reactivity. Remember, the lower the reactivity the more depth you will get. The D2 is plenty fast even at Reactivity of 1. Also, if you are using full tones you may want to try and knock it down to 3. Just my 2 cents.
Excellent video, very educational and should help me out when my deus 2 arrives, I ordered the 9" coil since I mainly hunt parks here in central PA.
You will do well with the 9" I'm almost sure of it. Even with the 11 its pretty amazing.
This video was very help! Many thanks.
You are welcome thank you!
Good review thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great demonstration. I’m glad I found your channel. I have the Deus 1 and my hubby has bought me Deus 2. I’m back to the beginning learning all over again. In six weeks I’m off to a rally in the UK to search an area that was a Roman settlement. I’m wondering which program should I use as a beginner with this machine.
If you have the new update, General is a good one to start with but learn Sensitive Full Tones. Ultimately, that program is the one you will want for a lot of conditions. If you are after coins check out the custom coin program I've done.
Awesome Scott thanks thanks for I expect it would be perfect there is no perfect I'm sorry but close Looks good thank you
Glad you like it
It would be interesting to see how some gold rings would compare to the foil and pull tabs and whether or not the gold also has the "hook".
Well done. I put one of these out too on the XPD2. My cinematography skills are still lacking though. Liked this one. Square tones in general I'm going to try next. I to use the XY on coins. Hope XP gives us an opportunity to get rid of all the over info on top. Maybe a VDI in one of the corners. The XY is a bit cropped and crowded.
Thanks yeah i totally agree the X and Y is a little crowded and I would like to see the target ID show up in the middle of the screen in big numbers LOL, my eyesight is starting to go.
Excellent video!
Glad you liked it! Thank you!
Wooow… now that I’m understanding it more. Great for coins for sure. Thanks for the video! I wonder how a gold or silver ring would’ve looked? Wondering if it would have looked like the pull tab or foil reading?
Gold will be a solid line just like silver. But its not 100%. The XY screen is a tool to use but I wouldn't bet my life on it. I put 2 program back to back where one is using the XY display and other isn't so I can do a quick comparison if I need to check a target.
Great video. thank you so very much on making it !!!
My pleasure!
Ps: I’m from Perth Western Australia. My daughter lives in Idaho
Very cool, I stepped my foot in Idaho last fall for the first time.
Excellent video! I think your right #4 is the way to go. :) It looks like the Deus 2 is going to be hard to beat as far as a all-around detector. Would like to see some depth test on it if you have a test garden of coins and relics. I have a 27-year-old test garden with relics and coins in it that I use to run settings on with my 800 and AT Max. :)
I think the number is really going to depend once you get out in the field. I had to adjust mine to 5 today 4 just wasn't enough. I agree on the test garden idea. I need to make one. I have a few things buried.
Good video. I just wish you would have shown what a gold or silver ring would look like.
Yep sorry I'm putting some videos out now from my beach vacation some of that will be covered.
Really good video on the XY screen. Found your channel through searches on the D2 and really glad I did. My D2 isn't here yet but you are lowering my learning curve by using and testing your machine as I would. I have a special rope 14k chain I bought years ago that most of all the machines I've owned couldn't hit (best was a gold bug pro)....can't wait to see if the D2 can hit on that chain. If it does, it will be a keeper.
Welcome aboard! It should hit your gold chain. Glad you found the channel. That is the goal, reduce the learning curve.
Some preset programs will hit the rope chain, VDI 32, (I just did air tests yesterday) but in all of the factory programs there is no tone so you will need to "un notch" 32
Hey Scott, zoom level of 4 is muy bueno. The slope seems to be the key indicator here. So if you can view a lot of the slope, it's a better indicator. Like another commenter below stated, zooming in on the fringe coins might be ideal way to ID them. Another reviewer stated the XY screen lies too, just like VDI. Just like all machines do. So, is the 'Nox going to be your backup detector now?😎
The x&y is def not full proof. I like it cos it gives you additional info to determine if you should dig the target or not. Is the NOX my back up now? I don't just yet. I think the NOX with that 10x5 Coiltek coil is magical. I should know more by summer on what I'm going to do. Right now, its the D2 just because I'm trying to learn it.
It's a great unit
Yep totally agree, thanks for watching!
Great video, its a shame so far the xy is not as stable as the deus 1, as you know on the d1 it will flutter a tad but i noticed on relic the line dances around loads more, hence my chosen word unstable.
I'm not sure it isn't as stable, remember I was in my house with all the EMI around. It was nothing like that in the field.
These videos are perfect... I hope these manufacturers take notice to your hard work. Ive been on the fence about My upgrade from the nox 800. D2, 900, or manticore. I was leaning towards the 900 but now because of these videos im SERIOUSLY considering jumping from minelab all together and buying the deus 2. With all that you know now, and if you only owned an equinox 800. Which of the three would you buy?
Thanks Luke, I like both companies and right now its a toss up between the Manticore and Deus 2 for me. But the 900 is right up there. Don't shut the WS6 Master out of the running. If your budget is tight that thing is just as good as the Deus 2 for a lot less.
👍More great information👍
More to come!
I wish they had opted for a larger display on the D2 so we could have the Horseshoe and XY on the same screen.
Yeah I kind of agree w/you on a larger display.
Excellent video! Show me how to take it off of expert mode! I’m still a newbie, trying to learn as much as I can!
Mary I don't think there is an expert mode. It just takes time. You'll get there.
@@MentalMetal made a mistake mine is just a Deus not a Deus II I apologize!
All good Mary.
This was my first introduction to the XY. Thank you for the clear explanation. I've just boughta Deus I, but i assume the principle is the same?
Yes and i think it actually works better (more precise) on the Deus vs Deus II.
@@MentalMetal Great stuff. Thanks for responding 🙏
Good morning Scott. Would You mind if I share this great set up on My area?
Go ahead!
@@MentalMetal TY
How would the x-y line look with gold jewelry? Any way with x-y to distinguish gold from pull tabs on the TID? Thanks.
That is a good idea for a video, I'll do one and share in the next few days.
@@MentalMetal That will be much appreciated.
Great video. I'm waiting on my D2. Would you mind sharing your program settings you've saved for the coins with the XY screen.
Thanks Jerry, my coin program in this video was just a test program. I'll have a better one and when I get it where I want it I will share in a a video for you.
that will be different in Canadian coins forsure 4 looks good to me
Def check your coins to see how they are reading. Thanks for watching!
@@MentalMetal with the Nox they read all over the place very jumpy signals
Sunday morning 27 February 2022.
Thanks my friend.
Since you've used the xp2 for a while now, have you dug targets at depth that behave differently than these tests?
Oh absolutely, anything after 6-8 inches may change the numbers a bit (not a lot) after you get past 8 you should expect a bigger change but if you leave your audio response at 4 you will hear the depth difference. As far as the XY display anything over 6" is a best guess. Its just a tool to help you decide to dig it or not.
Thank you very much. Your videos have a ton of good information for someone new to the xp like me.
Do you think the XandY screen will work on the beach? I'm looking for a good program for my beach and I'm trying to find only gold.
Zoom in the XY will give you a better idea on a target that is very deep / on the edge of detection.....more importantly, why does CZcams keep turning on my captions? Russian espionage?
no comment
I notice that your program 5 shows (coins). On my d2 it shows (park). Are you running a different version? My is V 0.6
That is actually my program for coins in slot 16. I was testing it out. It looks like 5 but its not. Yes I am running version 0.6
Is there hot keys to toggle between horseshoe and xy?
So far not that I'm aware of, perhaps in another update.
Scott, trying out the XP option out on the beach today for the first time, and I was wondering if you could tell me what percentage do you think of your XP results that show garbage are truly garbage? I would say 98% of what I target on the beach is truly garbage, from my experience prior to using the XY option, so today I am actually passing by a lot of those targets that show up on the XY As garbage. Also, from the XY screen, how do I get back to the main screen? Lol
Lol Doug you have to go back to the Profile setting and switch it back from there. To answer your % question. I don't really have an answer to that one. I use it as a tool not as an absolute. I would recommend setting 2 programs back to back one using the XY and the other one without it. As you come across a target you think is trash, check both programs to get an idea of how accurate the XY display really is.
I see you're using a custom 'coins' program. Can you share which base program it's based on and the custom settings you're using? I am mainly a coin person as well.
When I find one that works better than this one I will. Its close but it needs some tweaking.
This is still alil abstract for me lol but I've only use the deus 2 a couple times but it does help alot bcuz most trash is obvious on this screen but still learning obviously lol
Keep at it, you will learn how to use it. You have to stick with it.
How does a gold ring look?
What is your settings for coins menu?
Based on what I've shown in this video, I've changed some things around and I will have a better coin program video out in a few days and its a killer plus you can use it for relics with some slight modifications.
That looks like an old school insulin pump
I have no experience in that department to confirm either way.
Care to share your coin settings?
Look for the next video this weekend, that's what it will be just for you my friend. I'll show you how to setup it up and everything.
Thank you sir! I've been on the ATP for the last 8 years so I'm use to the 3 tones already. I set one up on general and notched stuff out but it seems with the D2 the VDI is so high for a quarter you have to listen to all the trash thats in the 90s! I'm new with it but learning quick. I lived off the tone of the deep targets having a very low response and see the D2 has a setting you can adjust and keep your volume turned up too.
@david ross the coin video is up czcams.com/video/1bK9CMp_WXE/video.html
Iron bottle cap?
What about multi targets hood & bad?
I'm not sure what you are asking.
Doing them with multiple targets together
U missed gold and other goodies, do tat raid too
I wish you would have shown a nickel 😔
Sorry it would have looked just like the other non-silver coins but the target ID would be from 62-64.
Advertising via CZcams.. Watch other videos on this detector and buyer "Beware"
what video isn't advertising on CZcams? Yep buyer beware and pick the machine you like and don't listen to all garbage out there. For the record on my channel I've had nothing but a great experience with the D2.
No idea why but it’s driving me crazy each time you call it the “x AND y” screen😂😂 it’s just an XY screen not x AND y screen 😂😂🤷♂️🤦♂️ dunno why it’s bugging so much but it’s like nails down a chalkboard to me each time you say “x AND y” rather than just XY screen 🤷♂️
LOL not sure what to say here...sorry I guess.
@@MentalMetal 😂😂🤷♂️👍🏻
