You will want to find a high trash type program to put into your Deus. The stock 1 program will frustrate you in that type of trash. You will want things like higher reactivity, silencer set higher, and maybe some notch discrimination. Sensitivity won't be so important. So I would get one of those (Andy has one in his book) and it helps if you understand what the settings are and why they were chosen, but you don't strictly have to at least to start out, and add it into your Deus and run with that. The stock 1 program with defaults will get fooled by rusted bottle caps (silencer setting helps with that). A lot of detectors will, but the settings on the Deus will help you.
The ID as stated doesn't go as deep as the Minelab. But the ability to pick goodies out of heavy iron/trash is far better, and you get audio as deep. I hunt by audio so that's fine by me.
