PRACTICAL INFORMATION
Metal detecting is a fascinating hobby that can bring you huge satisfaction. However, some basic learning
is necessary to get the most enjoyment out of it. Begin by familiarizing yourself with your equipment and
its operation on suitable practise ground.
We recommend that you take an assortment of different objects - coins, everyday items, metal rubbish,
etc. Then nd a patch of ground relatively free from metal pollution and well away from any electromag-
netic interference (high voltage power lines, electric fences, domestic appliances, etc.). For instance, your
garden would probably be one of the most unsuitable places to begin as there is too much domestic
waste in the vicinity.
To test whether the site is suitable for practising, sweep the coil over the ground as if detecting. Move
somewhere else if you hear a multitude of sounds. Once you have found a suitable spot, arrange your
objects on the ground, spacing them approximately two coil widths apart. Before placing an object, use
the device to check that there is no metal already in the ground.
Spend a little time watching your device’s reactions when it passes over each target. You can then sort
them according to the sound response type and try and understand what makes them similar or different.
If you feel comfortable with this exercise, you can also try out some of the pre-congured settings.
Advice
When detecting, it is important to sweep the coil parallel to the ground, using wide movements, as close
as possible to the surface (without actually touching it). Proximity to the ground will increase the likelihood
of detecting a deep target and will enable the smallest objects to be identied more easily. Avoid knocking
the coil, as although it is designed to withstand this kind of treatment, careful handling will prolong the life
of the device and guarantee better perception of targets.
Optimize your searching
When you are detecting, the rate at which you
move is up to you. For example, covering a zone at
high speed while detecting will certainly give you
a global ‘snapshot’ of the site. However, clearly this
method of detecting will also leave large swathes
of ground unexplored between each sweep.
So, if you really want to scrutinise every inch of
ground closely, make sure that each sweep slight-
ly overlaps the previous one so that the zone not
scanned by your coil is as small as possible.
Bear in mind also that you will increase your
chances of nding and identifying a target further
by sweeping more slowly. This particularly applies
in metal-infested ground (when there are more tar-
gets to be investigated) or when you are search-
ing for deeper targets.

9
Once the detector has indicated the approximate presence of
a target in Motion mode, sweep the place where you heard the
sound if you are having difculty locating the target. Slowly re-
duce the amplitude of your movements and make a mental note
of the spot where the sound is loudest. If necessary, indicate
it with a mark on the ground. Then move a quarter turn around
the spot and begin sweeping again in the same way (at 90° to
the rst sweep). You should then locate the precise zone con-
taining your target at the intersection of the two sweeps, where
the sound is loudest. Continue with crossed sweeps over the
target. The loudest and highest pitched audio signal indicates
the centre of the coil and therefore the position of the target.
You can also use non-motion mode, where the coil does not
need motion to register the target (see Chapter PINPOINT).

FACTORY PROGRAMS
GENERAL uses low and high frequencies and gives an excellent assessment of targets in the soil. It suits
both beginners and experienced users.
It offers an excellent target/false signal ratio in the ground, as it rejects the moisture in the soils, which can
cause halos and false sounds when passing over holes, for example. You will therefore have more con-
dence on deep targets. This damp / wet soil subtraction thus attenuates the very low electric conductors
like coke (coal, and conductive stone) and to a lesser extent certain very thin targets like aluminum foil.
• Very effective, test it in the soil, not in the air.
• Set the Reactivity to 2 for more efciency in cleaner soil or to 3 for polluted/mineralized soil.
has the advantage of offering a wide range of programs suitable for all ground and search condi-
tions. Unlike some multi-frequency detectors that offer xed multiple frequencies, uses different
high and low frequency combinations depending on the programs. For example, some use low to medi-
um frequencies e.g. 4 to 14 kHz and other programs include higher frequencies up to 24 kHz or 40 kHz.
Program-specic signal processing is applied to these frequency combinations and to the ground in the
best possible way. These frequencies can then be subtracted to remove electrically-conductive soils or
added together to help locate a wider range of targets. The processing platform information used for each
program is displayed in the title bar. Read the data for each program carefully to get the most out of your
!
(See also the comparison table at the end of the manual to better understand the different parameters
each program has to offer).
SENSITIVE uses low and high frequencies up to about 40 kHz. Highly efcient on all targets, it will be very
effective in mineralized and polluted ground when searching for the smallest targets.
• Thanks to the high precision that the DEUS II carries, coke and humidity can be classied with higher
accuracy than with a mono-frequency metal detector. A very narrow notch zone is thus activated within
frequencies 23 to 25 (see Notch > Expert)
• Reduce the Reactivity to 2 for more efciency in cleaner ground or increase it to 3 for polluted or min-
eralized ground.
SENSITIVE FULL TONES is based on the same platform as Prg. 2 - SENSITIVE, but it is congured using
Full Tone audio mode, with Reactivity at 3 instead of 2.5. It offers a very rich and informative sound identi-
cation that requires a little more experience, as each target index generates a different tone in proportion
to conductivity (see Discri > Full Tones). Very efcient in highly-polluted ferrous and mineralized ground.
FAST is based on the same platform as Prg. 2 - SENSITIVE, but the audio is set to Pitch mode with Re-
activity at 3 instead of 2.5 and uses the square audio feature. These three settings combined allow the
machine to work fast in ferrous-polluted and mineralized ground.
PARK is adjusted for searching recreational areas such as, parks, dry sand beaches, etc., or sites that
are normally polluted.
• A notch is active from 23 to 36 to reject aluminum foil. Increase it if necessary.
• B.Caps is set to 5 to reject most rusty ferrous caps.
DEEP HIGH CONDUCTOR adds together very low and medium frequencies up to 14 kHz.
Designed to better locate good conductivity targets, it is ideal for clusters of coins whilst maintaining ex-
cellent sensitivity to isolated coins using its 14 kHz frequency.
• Ground Stability is set to 1 and soils above your setting will therefore sound to provide you with the
best performance for specic deep searches (see Ground). Adjust the Ground by Grabbing but If you are
experiencing too many false signals, adjust GND Stability at 2 to reject all the soils, ferrites and shocks.

DEUS MONO works on a single frequency like 1, but combines the advantages of DEUS II, such as
its expanded frequency range to 45 kHz, improved performance, audio quality, better EMI rejection, etc.
There is more likelihood of connecting with an unstable frequency while using several simultaneous fre-
quencies than with just one and the DEUS MONO could help you in these situations.
• Ground above your ground effect setting will sound like the 1. Adjust the ground by automatic
acquisition (see Ground >Grabbing), but if you are experiencing too many false signals, adjust it manually
to 88-90 to reject all the ground including, ferrite and shocks.
GOLD FIELD is intended for highly-mineralized gold-bearing ground. Gold nuggets are often seen as the
ground or ferrous items in these tricky environments. It is set to “all metal” for deeper detection and only
rejects the localised ground to which you should regularly adjust by Grabbing (see Ground). It will accept
ground above and below your Ground setting.
• Discriminate the surface ferrous items with the IAR Discrimination setting (see Discrimination > IAR).
• Increase the Reactivity when searching strong mineralization for greater stability.
RELIC is processed in the same way as Prg. 8 - GOLD FIELD, but uses lower subtracted frequencies to
search for large masses. It is congured for “all metal” with low Reactivity and only rejects the localised
ground to which you should regularly adjust by Grabbing (see Ground). It will then accept ground above
and below this ground setting.
• To search for deep large masses: Sweep well above the ground, e.g. 15 or 20 cm, to avoid being hin-
dered by shallow ferrous items and above all the ground effects that may distort deeper signals. You will
then be able to identify deep masses by the longer sounds. Depending on the ground and your patience,
reducing the Reactivity to 0 will offer a huge advantage in order to gain greater depth.
DIVING is the rst and most stable of three programs intended for submerging in saltwater environments
or simply on wet sand. Its very low and medium subtracted frequencies will better locate valuable targets
such as rings and coins, whilst naturally being less responsive to low conductive targets like aluminum
foil compared to the more sensitive Beach 11 and 12 programs. It can thus save time and be more effective
in difcult diving conditions.
• Do not hesitate to activate B.Caps if there are troublesome rusty ferrous caps.
• Select an inland program preferably for fresh water diving.
BEACH uses higher frequencies up to 24 kHz and thus is more sensitive to small targets compared to
Diving. It is well suited to wet zones.
• Sweep parallel without raising the coil at the end of each pass. If you can not maintain an even sweep
and notice instability, you can reduce Salt sens (see Menu) to reduce the Salt water sensitivity.
• Increase the Reactivity if you experience instability or pollution.
• Do not hesitate to activate B.Caps if there are troublesome rusty ferrous caps.
• Beach can also be used while diving but the response may be more unsettled.
BEACH SENS incorporates frequencies up to about 40 kHz offering excellent sensitivity to the smallest
targets without loosing performance on bigger targets. This is the deepest beach program for wet condi-
tions but also the most reactive.
• Sweep parallel without raising the coil at the end of each pass. If you can not maintain an even sweep
and notice instability :
- Reduce Salt sens (see Menu) to reduce the Salt water sensitivity.
- Increase the Reactivity to 1, 2 or 2.5.
- Reduce the Audio Response.
• Activate B.Caps if there are troublesome rusty ferrous caps.

Increase the discrimination to gradually reject targets with a lower conductivity
than the setting. Example :
• Adjust to 10 to reject items with a target ID lower than 10.
• Adjust to 40 to reject most small aluminum foil.
DEUS II displays deep targets more precisely through its multi-frequency process-
ing that removes a large proportion of the troublesome ground effects.
The metal target conductivity scale below from -6.4 to 99 will give you an idea of
the display and discrimination range :
I 95
I 5
To reject unwanted targets with a higher conductivity (aluminum tabs, lead, copper cartridges, etc.), you
will have to accept losing certain desirable metal targets. A more satisfactory alternative is to continue
using a low discrimination level (e.g. discrim. at 8) and use preferably:
• The visual target display for visual discrimination.
• Multi-tone mode for audio discrimination.
• The B.CAPS function (bottle caps) to reject the rusty ferrous caps effectively (Discri > Expert).
One of the advantages and special features of is its programs, as they use different combina-
tions of simultaneous frequencies while adapting to multiple ground types (see Programs).
However, a few ferromagnetic targets will generate specic displays on certain programs. These targets
cannot be generalized due to their ferrous components, otherwise there will be a risk of falsifying the dis-
play of all the other targets. E.g. one or two euro coins (ferromagnetic ring + copper center) will display 75
in the Diving and Relic programs but 80 in all the other programs. Diving and Relic use fairly low detect-
ing frequencies from about 4 to 13 kHz, whereas the others include higher frequencies such as 40 kHz.

Customize the sound partitioning of the discrimination range. A sound frequency
(comparatively low- or high-pitched) is assigned to each part of the discrimination
range, E.g. a low-pitched sound (161 Hz) is assigned to the signals from 0 to 6.0,
then a medium sound (518 Hz) from 6.0 to 76, a medium/high sound (644 Hz) from

If a coin type is registered by your device as 58 on the conductivity index and sig-
nals “medium low” (518 Hz) and you wish it to be signalled “medium high” (644 Hz),
simply lower the tone break from 60 to 57 or less. All coins with this conductivity
value will now register at 644 Hz. Thresholds are also known as tone breaks.
Press MENU > DISCRI > EXPERT to access the TONES screen.
Choose: 2 Tones - 3 Tones - 4 Tones - 5 Tones using -or +.
Use the Multi-tones menu to sort targets into categories according to their conduc-

Pitch mode does not take into account the target’s conductivity: The strength of
the signal generates an audio sound that varies both in volume and height (audio
frequency). This means that a more distant or smaller targets will generate a low-
pitched, weak sound whereas a closer target will generate a high-pitched, strong
sound. Pitch mode gives a dynamic signal. It also makes the detector appear more
reactive. However, it does not fundamentally affect reactivity, just the audio.

The Notch complements the discrimination: it enables a "target window" to be re-
jected whereas discrimination rejects all targets below a selected threshold. For
example, if you detect an undesirable target in the ground, you can decide simply
to reject the corresponding conductivity group and continue to detect targets with
a conductivity higher or lower than those in the rejected group.
If the reference target has a conductivity of 37, adjust with -and +the Notch at
34-40. All targets with a conductivity of between 34 and 40 will then be silenced.
By default, the width of the rejection window is 6 points.

B.Caps rejects the rusty beer and zzy drink bottle caps effectively. Make sure you

Adjust the rejection from 0 to 5 with -and +.
The caps will be rejected better when using a slower sweep. If in doubt, occasionally
slow down the sweep speed over a suspicious target this will help to better identify.
Full Tones assigns tones specic to each target index in proportion to its conduc-
tivity.
The higher the conductivity index of a target, the higher the signal.
E.g. aluminum foil (TID 30) will generate a 350 Hz tone, whereas a large silver coin
(TID 95) will generate a 900 Hz tone.

This advanced notch function enables you to widen the rejection window in the
event that the undesirable target(s) have a wider conductivity range than the stand-

Programs 8 GOLD FIELD and 9 RELIC FIELD use another discrimination method,
called IAR (Iron Amplitude Rejection). This allows rejection of ferrous items accord-
ing to their distance from the coil.
0 = no rejection 3 = Shallow Ferrous rejection 5 = Shallow and deeper Ferrous
rejection
This feature is used to set the amplitude of the background sound threshold.
Adjust it from 0 to 20.

If several targets with different conductivity levels are a problem, you can activate
two other notches: N2 and N3. Use to select N2 or N3 and adjust as for N1.
You will notice that the notched zones are grayed out in the conductivity bar on the

Gold nuggets or relics items buried deeply in mineralized ground can generate a similar signal to a ferrous
item, so in this case it is better to reduce the IAR discrimination level.

offers a wide choice of programs using different frequency congurations :
• Eleven simultaneous multi-frequency programs, each with different combinations of frequencies and
internal parameter settings (see chapter Programs for the specic features of each one).
• One single frequency program (no. 7 DEUS MONO) built around seven main frequencies: 4.5 – 7.5 – 13 –
17.6 – 25 – 32 – 40.5 kHz, each one with seven wide offset increments, i.e. 49 frequencies in all.
Range of available frequencies of 4 kHz to 45 kHz :
4.08 to 4.76 kHz - 6.94 to 8.08 kHz - 10.39 to 15.15 kHz - 15.62 to 20.75 kHz
22.06 to 28.57 kHz - 29.41 to 35.32 kHz - 36.36 to 45.45 kHz
Remember that generally all frequencies detect all targets, but a high frequency such as 45 kHz will
detect a far greater proportion of small targets than low frequency like 4 kHz, above all if the ground is
mineralized. Conversely, a high frequency will sometimes be less efcient on a large mass or on grouped
coins than a low frequency. The best option is therefore to use on its simultaneous programs as
a priority, to make the most of an extended range of frequencies and thus maintain sensitivity to a wider
range of targets.
Program no. 7 Mono can be useful if the multi-frequency programs are hampered by a severe electromag-
netic environment or if you prefer to focus on a particular target category.

In addition to the general sensitivity setting, the «SALT SENS» setting has the ad-
vantage of reducing false signals, typically linked to seawater, unlike the general
sensitivity which acts on all targets and all signals. When searching wet sand or
surf, always use the SALT SENS setting as a priority rather than the general sensi-
tivity. The general sensitivity should be reserved for cases where the instabilities
come from electromagnetic interference (EMI).
Adjust SALT SENS from 1 to 9 (9 being the highest sensitivity level).

If EMI is a problem, remember to start with a frequency scan rst (see Freq Scan). When using lower levels
of SALT SENS, low conductive targets that register around TID 30 may also be slightly attenuated, this
setting will not effect higher conductive targets.

is a fast and selective detector! Reactivity is a vital setting that deter-
mines the detector’s performance in terms of how quickly it analyzes the signal
from detected objects and its ability to separate the signal response from two or
several targets located close together. This is also known as Recovery speed.
If the soil contains a great deal of iron, hot rocks or other mineralized debris,
soil penetration can be drastically reduced as can the ability of a detector to
locate non-ferrous targets next to ferrous targets. In these conditions, select a
high degree of reactivity which will help to speed up the signal analysis. On the
other hand, if the ground is "clean", it is better to reduce the Reactivity, to make the

machine more sensitive to deep targets.
On a beach, as the targets are most often well away from each other, the low Reactivity levels like 0 or 1
will be very efcient. But if you encounter tricky conditions, such as polluted beaches made up of mag-
netic black sand or beaches with variable salinity, increase the Reactivity to 2.5 or 3, thereby becoming
more selective and more stable, which will make it far easier for you to interpret the targets.

2 to 2.5 General use, ground with little iron contamination.
3 to 5 iron-contaminated and/or mineralized ground.
E.g. Passing the coil over an iron object close to
the surface then over a good metal target (ring).
A high Reactivity level enables you to distinguish the
ring completely from the iron. The audio signal fully
indicates the target.
With a medium Reactivity level, you begin to detect the
ring. The audio signal partially indicates the target.
With a low Reactivity level, the iron is detected for
longer and completely hides the ring.
