The XP Deus II WS6 Master is a wireless multi-frequency metal detector with Fast Multi Frequency (FMF) technology that runs 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz or simultaneous multi-frequency mode, designed for detectorists hunting coins, relics, and gold in mineralized soil, wet sand, and iron-choked sites. The system ships with a 13x11 elliptical 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 13x11 coil offers deeper coverage on high-conductivity targets than the 9-inch or 11-inch round coils while maintaining separation in trashy ground, making it the choice for open fields, old fairgrounds, and relic sites where depth and ground coverage matter.

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 13x11 coil in FMF mode, and the system holds conductivity readings on silver coins and brass relics where single-frequency detectors produce unstable signals or ground-balance drift. The multi-frequency approach also reduces false signals from hot rocks and iron mineralization, so you spend less time chasing phantom targets and more time digging real finds.
Parks and Lawns
The 13x11 coil covers ground faster than round coils in open turf, and the Deus II's reactivity settings (9 levels) let you slow the recovery speed for depth or speed it up for separation in trash-heavy tot lots. The WS6 pod's 64x64-pixel screen displays target conductivity in real time, so you can read ferrous-nonferrous separation before you dig. In city parks with pull-tabs, foil, and modern clad mixed with older silver, the multi-notch discrimination and five-level bottle-cap rejection filter out junk while passing coins and jewelry.
Farm Fields and Old Homesteads
Relic hunters cross-shop the XP Deus II metal detector lineup for iron-choked sites where separation and depth both matter. The 13x11 coil reaches deep targets in low-mineralization soil, and the eight audio-response levels let you tune how fast the detector reacts to edge signals. We run the Deus II in Full Tones mode on homestead foundations, where square nails, wire, and barrel hoops outnumber keeper targets 50 to 1, and the system's audio discrimination keeps ferrous clutter quiet while flagging nonferrous signals with distinct tones.
Beach and Saltwater
The coil is waterproof to 20 meters (66 feet with optional antenna), and FMF mode stabilizes in wet salt sand where single-frequency VLF detectors produce ground noise. The WS6 headphone pod is rainproof but not submersible, so surf hunters keep the pod above the waterline or switch to the fully waterproof WSA II XL headphones for deeper wading. The 13x11 coil's elliptical shape covers more sand per sweep than round coils, cutting search time on wide beaches.

Wireless Speed and WS6 Control Integration
- Zero-latency wireless link between coil, WS6 pod, and optional MI-6 pinpointer: target signals transmit without delay, so you hear faint edge hits in real time rather than after the coil has passed.
- WS6 headphones with integrated control interface: change programs, adjust sensitivity, toggle discrimination notches, and read target conductivity on the 64x64-pixel screen without carrying a separate remote.
- 15-hour WS6 battery life on a single charge: hunt all day without swapping cells, and the system charges via USB in under three hours.
- Foldable, ergonomic design at 82 grams: the WS6 pod folds flat for transport and weighs less than most wired headphones, reducing neck fatigue on long hunts.
- Coil battery life of 8 to 20 hours depending on program and frequency: single-frequency modes drain slower than FMF, and the system indicates charge level for each component on the WS6 screen.
Clearing Old Fairgrounds with the XP Deus 2 Platform
The Deus 2 runs 12 factory programs plus 12 user slots, and each program stores sensitivity (99 levels), reactivity, audio response, ground balance (tracking, grab, or manual), threshold, and multi-tone settings. We load a high-reactivity program for fairground sites where iron nails and modern trash sit inches apart from silver coins, and the system's audio discrimination lets us run full sensitivity without digging every ferrous target. The four-band equalizer adjusts frequency response for each tone, so you can boost mid-tones for nickels and gold rings or cut low tones to quiet iron falsing.
Detectorists hunting water resistant sites appreciate the coil's IP68 rating, and the system's pinpoint mode operates without motion so you can narrow target location before digging in wet soil or shallow water.
