The Independent, Published Friday 15th October 2010
The Independent reported how a fledgling detectorist found artefacts of probable worth of up to £460,000. The find consists of two ribbon torcs – a local style of jewellery made from a twisted ribbon of gold – half an ornate torc of southern French origin, and a unique braided gold wire torc which shows strong influences of Mediterranean craftsmanship.
“A first-time metal-detecting enthusiast who discovered a hoard of Iron Age gold in a field could be in for a £460,000 windfall, officials confirmed today.”

DEUS marks a technological breakthrough and is a real innovation in metal detector design. Its patented architecture is based on three elements, a Coil, a Remote Control and a set of Audio Headphones, which are unique in that they communicate with each other via a digital radio link
have all been achieved by the incorporation of components developed for leading-edge technologies. The search coil contains the essential components for processing the signals, which no longer need to be conveyed via a wire link but are digitised and analysed directly at source by an ultra-miniature digital circuit, which greatly improves the quality of signal acquisition. This circuit, which is integrated in the detection head, processes the information and sends it to the headphones and remote control in real time via a radio link.
The headphones can control the detector alone, enabling you to go detecting with an even more portable configuration (just 875g). In the absence of the remote control, the headphones enable you to adjust all the main detection settings: Sensitivity, Discrimination, Ground Balance, Frequency (4 kHz, 8 kHz, 12 kHz, 18 kHz), Multi-Tones, etc., and recall programmes previously created with the remote control!
And change the coil in an instant! This new patented stem can be stored away instantly and is much easier to handle than a straight stem with an integral handle. It is particularly comfortable to use because of its shaped rubber handle and improved operating angle.
