The XP ICON-X operates on simultaneous multi-frequency (FMF) with automatic and manual frequency shift, plus three dedicated mono frequencies: 4 kHz, 14 kHz, and 28 kHz. The FMF mode transmits multiple frequencies at once for stable performance in mineralized ground and wet salt, while the mono modes let you target specific conductivity ranges. The 28 kHz mono frequency is the key upgrade over the base ICON, designed for small gold nuggets, hammered silver, and thin jewelry targets that lower frequencies miss. Detectorists who browse our multi-frequency metal detectors collection will find the ICON-X's 28 kHz mode is what separates it from detectors that stop at 15 kHz.
