The XP Deus II is a fully wireless multi-frequency metal detector that transmits simultaneously across multiple frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz or lets you select one of 49 single frequencies, built for detectorists hunting coins, relics, and gold across parks, beaches, mineralized ground, and underwater sites to 66 feet. XP's patented radio protocol links the 9-inch FMF coil, remote control, and WS6 headphones without latency, so target signals reach your ears instantly with the speed and accuracy that separates modern multi-frequency platforms from older single-frequency designs. Waterproof to 20 meters, the Deus II performs in surf, rivers, and freshwater lakes where most detectors stop at shallow wading depth, and the wireless architecture eliminates the cable snags and connector failures that plague hardwired machines in wet environments.
What's Included with the XP Deus II
- XP Deus II metal detector with 9-inch FMF search coil and coil cover
- Deus II remote control with backlit display and hip-mount case
- WS6 wireless headphones with storage case and removable module
- S-telescopic stem with lower stem section
- Aerial antenna for underwater use with mounting clip
- Gray cap for remote control and red cap for diving operations
- USB charging cable for all three components and remote updates
- Connection clamp for charging and firmware updates

Fast Multi-Frequency Detection in Variable Ground Conditions
Parks and Lawns
The Deus II's simultaneous multi-frequency mode covers modern clad, deep silver, and small gold jewelry in a single pass, so you're not choosing between depth on high-conductors and sensitivity to low-conductors the way single-frequency detectors force you to. The 9-inch FMF coil balances ground coverage with target separation in trashy tot lots and picnic areas, and the reactivity settings (adjustable across a wide range) let you pull coins from iron-contaminated soil where older machines null out. Ground tracking handles mineralization shifts as you move from dry turf to irrigated sections, and the motion and non-motion pinpoint modes speed recovery when you've isolated a target.
Beach and Saltwater
Wet salt sand destabilizes single-frequency detectors, but the Deus II's FMF technology transmits across the spectrum simultaneously to minimize ground noise while maintaining depth on gold rings and silver coins. Waterproof to 66 feet with the included aerial antenna attached, the detector handles surf zone hunting, shallow diving, and river wading without the depth limitations of splash-resistant competitors. The WS6 headphones are rain-proof for beach use, and the remote control's fully overmolded rubber housing protects the electronics from saltwater spray and accidental submersion during long sessions in breaking waves.
Mineralized Ground and Gold Prospecting
Hot rocks and variable ground phase challenge detectors in gold country, but the Deus II's ground balance system offers manual adjustment or automatic fast-grab tracking to stabilize performance as you move across decomposed granite, ironstone, and volcanic soils. The 49 single-frequency options let you shift to higher frequencies (up to 45 kHz) for small nugget sensitivity or drop to lower frequencies for depth on larger specimens, and the discrimination range is wide enough to reject ferrous trash without losing marginal targets in mineralized matrix. Serious prospectors cross-shop the XP Deus II metal detector lineup for coil options and configuration flexibility, particularly the 11-inch and 13x11-inch FMF coils that extend coverage in open washes and hillside benches.

Wireless Architecture and Runtime Performance
- Zero-latency wireless link between coil, remote, and headphones: XP's patented radio protocol transmits target signals without the delay that plagued early wireless detectors, so you hear faint targets and fast-moving iron discrimination in real time.
- Extended battery life across all components: remote control runs up to 25 hours, headphones up to 17 hours, and coil up to 20 hours depending on program and frequency selection, so multi-day trips don't require daily recharging.
- Independent volume control for each audio output: adjust headphone volume directly from the remote without removing the WS6 unit, and configure the 4-band equalizer separately for each output to match your hearing profile and ambient noise conditions.
- Lightweight ergonomics for long hunts: starting weight of 750 grams (1 pound 10 ounces) with the S-telescopic stem keeps wrist and shoulder fatigue down during all-day sessions, and the collapsible stem folds for transport without tools.
- 12 factory programs plus 12 user slots: start hunting immediately with preset modes for coins, relics, and gold, then save custom configurations as you learn the machine's discrimination, reactivity, and threshold settings for your local soil conditions.
