My XP Deus 2016 Finds

[SinHof]

Hi Rocket,
This week looks like 925 rings and sun bakers are going to be the order of the day/week, the run of SB's I had on Sunday was odd to say the least.

Well I didnt find anything but bbs, after eyeballing the sixpence before work. The deus was chattery, and raising reactivity above 0 resulted in an aweful hum noise, also the signals were very broken, unstable. The park had underground power installed, and EMI seems to be the bugbear of the deus. So I hit a park infront of an old rail station, that we visited earlier in the year. The petrol cap is from a ford, looks to 1970s era. The pure bliss thingy is heavy, and looks to be solid silver, no hallmark that I can see. Possibly a walking cane tip, and not professionally made.

Rocket, what frequency were you using re the EMI, as anything less than 18kHz will be more prone to EMI if near buried powercables.

Nice Rocket.

Yeah EMI is the one thing that stops me from really loving the Deus.

I always use 18khz these days, lowered it to 12 as an experiment, and of course no improvement. Its just a site the deus wont work well....only struck that once before, in a part of another park. Overhead powerlines, always cause EMI when close to them, but its not much of a hinderance in 18khz.

It doesnt stop me loving it But concede it is an issue sometimes.

I have one particular site that has buried powercables running through the guts of it, the Deus is reasonably bad 10m either side of it, but my Racer 2 is considerably worse running a lower frequency.

Coil size also makes a big difference, smaller coils are the better option for working around such areas.

found a thin fragment of green glass, inside the pure bliss thingy....so I have no idea now!

 

[SinHof]

Evening Rocket,
May be the silver top of an expensive bottle of scotch/whisky, brandy etc, the green glass might be the clue there.
Cheers, SinHof.

A 6p sunbaker he must have been waiting for you, the cracks make that ground look hard, did it rain heavily lately up there?

I can see why RJ broke his edge digger now 8)

Would a ferrite core or two stop the EMI problem ?

Mike.

 

[rocketaroo]

where would you put it? Forgot to mention, that the detectnix pinpointer was falsing as well, and it never does.

 

[Sandta]

Did you try your cheapy back up detector?

 

[rocketaroo]

Swapped it for an electric guitar and amp.
