The XP Deus II WS6 Master is a wireless multi-frequency metal detector engineered with Fast Multi Frequency (FMF) technology that runs 49 single frequencies or simultaneous multi-frequency mode, built for detectorists hunting coins, relics, and gold in mineralized soil, wet sand, and iron-choked sites. The system ships with an 11-inch FMF coil, WS6 wireless headphones with integrated controls, and an S-Telescopic Lite stem. Once paired, the coil, WS6 pod, and optional MI-6 pinpointer communicate wirelessly using XP's patented radio protocol with zero latency, so target signals reach your ears without delay. The 11-inch coil balances depth, separation, and ground coverage for parks, old fairgrounds, and relic sites where versatility matters.

FMF Multi-Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Wet Salt
The Deus II's FMF technology transmits multiple frequencies simultaneously, stabilizing target ID in soil conditions that collapse single-frequency machines. We've hunted Arizona caliche, Virginia red clay, and Gulf Coast wet sand with the 11-inch coil in FMF mode, and the system holds conductivity readings on deep copper and silver targets that would ghost on fixed-frequency detectors. The XP Deus II metal detector lineup offers multiple configuration paths, but the 11-inch round coil remains the all-terrain workhorse for detectorists who hunt varied sites in a single outing.
Parks and Old Fairgrounds
The 11-inch coil covers ground efficiently while maintaining separation in trashy turf where iron nails and pull tabs cluster around keepers. FMF mode rejects ferrous targets without masking adjacent non-ferrous signals, so you're not digging every nail to check the target underneath. The WS6 headphones display conductivity values on the integrated screen, letting you make dig decisions without looking at a remote control, which pairs excellently with the field tips highlighted in our guide to the best pinpointers for metal detecting.
Beach and Saltwater
Wet sand mineralizes differently than dry soil, and the Deus II's ground balance adapts to the shift as you move from the towel line to the surf. The coil and lower stem are waterproof, so you can hunt the wash without worrying about wave splash. The WS6 pod is rainproof, not submersible, so keep it above the waterline. For full-submersion hunts, experienced beach-combers often review our curated water-resistant detector collection to source specialized bone-conduction audio gear.

Farm Fields and Iron-Choked Homesteads
Old homestead sites bury keepers under layers of square nails, stove parts, and wire. The Deus II's reactivity settings (nine levels) control how fast the detector recovers between targets, and the discrimination system offers adjustable notch windows to silence specific conductivity ranges. We run reactivity 3 or 4 in heavy iron and notch out the nail range while leaving the coin and button zones open. The 11-inch coil reaches deep colonial coppers and large cents in plowed fields where smaller coils miss depth.
Clearing Old Fairgrounds with the XP Deus 2 Platform
Fairgrounds layer a century of trash over silver coins and tokens, and the Deus 2's multi-tone audio separates targets by conductivity before you dig. The system offers up to five tones, pitch mode, and full tones, plus expert modes for custom audio mapping. The WS6 headphones run wireless, so there's no cable snagging on brush or fencelines during long grid searches. High-capacity internal cells run all day without a midday charge.
Wireless System Architecture and Latency-Free Audio
- Zero-latency wireless communication: the coil, WS6 pod, and optional MI-6 pinpointer pair using XP's patented radio protocol, transmitting target signals to your ears without delay.
- Integrated WS6 control interface: the headphones carry their own screen and controls, so you can change programs, adjust sensitivity, and view conductivity readings without a separate remote.
- 49 single frequencies or simultaneous multi-frequency: run FMF mode for stable target ID in mineralized ground, or drop to a single frequency when hunting specific targets.
- Adjustable reactivity and audio response: variable reactivity levels control recovery speed in trashy ground, and audio response levels let you tune how the detector reacts to faint targets.
- 12 factory programs plus 12 user slots: start with a factory preset and customize sensitivity, discrimination, tones, and ground balance to match your soil conditions.
Compare within the family
Hunters analyzing configurations within the XP Deus II WS6 Master series usually weigh the ergonomic sweep of the 11-inch platform against larger elliptical layouts to balance tracking speeds against outright target depth.
