Good video. A few comments =
1. When ever you change Freq's....... you MUST re-Grnd Balance! Switching between 53.....VS.....89Khz requires re-Ground Balancing.
2. Manticore will ALSO "track out" the gold chain...... whilst in Auto Ground Tracking Mode. . . . . but only if target signal-strength is fairly weak.
I do not feel there is an error with Deus-2......tracking out micro-signals from micro-jewelry. The Chief Design Engineer personally 'chooses' WHAT signal-strength he wants to engineer into the electronics.....to "track out".
THE DIFFERENCE: XP engineering may be slightly more hyper-sensitive to track-out tiny signals...... as compared to the engineering set-points of Auto Grnd Tracking of Manticore.
3. I'm a bit shocked the Manticore can only be run with a Sens setting of 24.....with the small M8 coil. Here on the U.S. East Coast (Florida) .... I can run Sens 27 and achieve "Calibash stable/stability". (((For the record = I hunt with Sens on 30 with Manticore & M8 coil.....AND: keep the coil on the ground!))).
Good video. To me (via watching the video)..... it looks like XP has finally caught-up to Manticore...... and surpassed it.

More data via video coming from same gent in video above using HF2 coil on salt beach.
Video won’t be available until some time later tomorrow.
Will post here.
This may surprise some folks. It surprised me.

Sounds good........ but do NOT have Calabash do another video.....on my behalf!
Although ........... it sounds like he discovered something new.

This looks similar to my M8/Manticore experiences on the wet slope; yet, I find more earring backs (gold & costume)....... and a whole lot more tiny stuff....... that no other detector will even detect. HF-2 should give it a run-for-the-money.
