The ICON-X adds three key upgrades over the base ICON: an extra 28 kHz mono frequency for small gold and thin jewelry, expanded reactivity settings (7 levels instead of 5), and double the program slots (6 factory plus 6 user slots instead of 3 plus 3). Both detectors use the same FMF simultaneous multi-frequency technology, the same 11-inch coil, and the same carbon fiber stem, so the weight and ergonomics are identical. The ICON-X is the choice for detectorists who want finer control over discrimination and ground balance, while the ICON is the simpler option for hunters who prefer three turn-on-and-go presets.
