“I’ve been detecting for 30+ years, mostly with White’s and Garrett machines. This Nautilus DMC IIBa is the deepest, best metal detector I have ever found! It found a steel b.b. at 6″ with no trouble, two lead bullets and 4 wheat cents, all of which I had missed with the Garrett 2500, and targets were popping up everywhere. This is a very good machine for coin hunting, and I believe it will be even better for relics. It hits hard and deep in both discriminate (silver dime, clads and even nickels at 12″–which I never believed possible). It hits in discriminate mode deeper than all metal mode. How neat is that? I now Believe! No meter necessary.”
“After hunting with a friend that owns a 20 year old Naut, and my having a Minelab Explorer, there is humiliation on my part. Let’s put technology in the trash can on this one. The old Naut out-performs incredibly. And the Naut owner had never been to this site before, but the Minelab had hunted it about 50 times. Simpler just may be better.”
DMC-IIB
The High powered, 44 Volt DMC-IIB is a dual mode detector for use in highly mineralized soil where maximum performance is required in all-metal and discrimination modes. Features 2 modes: Ground Reject Discriminate mode and VLF Ground Balance. Discrimination, ground balance, discrimination sensitivity control, ground balance sensitivity control, turning control.
The Nautilus DMC IIB is designed for the serious detectorist by a man who actually uses what he engineers. Whether is be a Civil War campsite, a Revolutionary War fort, an 18th century cellar hole or an early picnic grove. Nautilus DMC series metal detectors continue to give unmatched performance.

“Look how old the Nautilus technology is (About 20 years give or take a little). Boy they were and still are way ahead of their time. They still blow away the competition. There is absolutely no comparison in the depth department and the Nautilus is also more sensitive to smaller targets.
The circuitry of the DMC2′s is more adjustable and relays more signal information to the user than any other detector. Also if you know how to use the Nautilus I believe it is just as good in iron as a Tesoro, especially if you use a 6 or 8 inch coil. (They have a great selection of coils – 6″,8″,10″,&15″) I own a T2 and several Tesoro’s and they will get targets that my Nautilus misses but my Nautilus gets a lot more targets behind the T2 and Tejon.
If I had to have one detector it would be a Nautilus DMC 2B hands down. For the price Nautilus sells for they are by far the absolute best bargain in detectors out there (I see used ones often in the 300.00 range). I have dug buttons close to 20″ in good sandy soil with the 2B using a 10″ coil — none of my other detectors have ever come close to that!! In my book NAUTILUS RULES”
“It’s funny how metal detecters reviews are across the board as far as ratings go. For the detectorist who takes the time to learn the nuances of the IIb, it is far superior to any machine on the market for depth and discrimination. Is it a turn on and detect machine like the Tejon or many others? Of course not. It has to be set up properly for the conditions one is hunting in. It is a “professional metal detector.” While I am no expert with the IIb yet, I have enough experience with it to get more depth from it than any Tejon or Explorer could hope for. If one just reads and learns JBird’s tips, and then takes the time to put them into practice, the IIb will achieve results far above anything on the market. But I do love to see people give up on this machine. It just means more relics and old coins for us dedicated users. Leave the clad to the other machines.”
