The XP Deus II WS6 Master is a wireless multi-frequency metal detector with Fast Multi Frequency (FMF) technology that runs 49 single frequencies 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 9-inch FMF coil, WS6 wireless headphones with integrated controls and LCD display, 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 9-inch coil balances maneuverability in tight spaces with solid depth on coins and jewelry, making it the choice for trashy parks, tot lots, and urban hunt sites where target density demands fast recovery speed.

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 Virginia red clay, Gulf Coast wet sand, and Arizona caliche with the 9-inch coil in FMF mode, and the system holds conductivity readings on deep coins and jewelry where competitors falter. The coil is waterproof to 20 meters, and the WS6 pod is rainproof, so you can work shallow surf zones and riverbanks without worrying about splash damage.
Parks and Tot Lots
The 9-inch coil's compact footprint and fast recovery speed make it ideal for high-trash urban sites where pull-tabs, foil, and bottle caps cluster around good targets. Reactivity settings up to level 5 let you separate a silver dime from an adjacent nail at three inches, and the multi-notch discrimination with adjustable window width gives you surgical control over what you hear. Hunters working old fairgrounds and school playgrounds report clean signals on wheat pennies and silver coins in iron-choked ground where larger coils mask adjacent targets.
Beach and Saltwater
FMF mode handles wet salt sand and mineralized black sand without the ground-phase drift that plagues single-frequency VLF machines. The coil's waterproof rating supports shallow wading and surf hunting, and the wireless architecture means no cable sway or connector corrosion. Detectorists hunting Gulf Coast beaches and California tide pools run the system in simultaneous multi-frequency for stable target ID on gold rings and chains buried in wet sand.
Farm Fields and Old Homesteads
The 9-inch coil punches through mineralized soil on deep relics and large silver, and the system's 49 single-frequency options let you tune for specific target types when you know what you're chasing. Relic hunters working Civil War camps and colonial homesteads run single frequencies in the mid-range for iron discrimination and switch to FMF mode when the ground heats up. The XP Deus II metal detector lineup offers three coil sizes, and the 9-inch strikes the balance between coverage and separation in trashy sites.

Wireless System Architecture with WS6 Control Integration
- Zero-latency wireless link between coil, WS6 pod, and optional MI-6 pinpointer: XP's patented radio protocol transmits target signals without delay, so you hear faint targets in real time without the audio lag that plagues Bluetooth systems.
- WS6 headphones with integrated LCD and controls: adjust discrimination, ground balance, and program settings directly from the headset without reaching for a separate remote, so you stay focused on the ground in front of you.
- 15-hour battery life on the WS6 pod: hunt all day on a single charge, and the system's USB quick-charge capability brings the pod from dead to full in under three hours.
- Foldable ergonomic design: the WS6 pod folds flat for transport and weighs 82 grams, so it doesn't add neck fatigue on long sessions.
- Rainproof construction: the WS6 pod is rated for wet conditions, and the coil is waterproof to 20 meters, so you can hunt through rain and shallow water without system failure.
