The XP ICON operates on simultaneous multi-frequency FMF technology with automatic and manual frequency shift, plus two mono frequencies at 4 kHz and 14 kHz. The FMF mode transmits multiple frequencies at once rather than cycling through them sequentially, maintaining stable target ID across mineralized soil, wet sand, and trashy sites where single-frequency detectors struggle. The mono frequencies let you isolate specific target types when conditions favor single-frequency operation, such as hunting small gold in highly mineralized ground or working iron-heavy sites where multi-frequency can amplify false signals.
