XP ORX Wireless Metal Detector with 9" X35 Search Coil

The XP ORX with 9-inch X35 coil is a wireless metal detector built for coin hunting in mineralized soil and gold prospecting in variable ground. This detector runs 35 selectable frequencies from 3.7 kHz to 27.7 kHz, letting you tune detection depth and small-target sensitivity to match your terrain. The ORX ships with four factory programs (two gold, two coin) and two user-customizable slots, so you can start hunting immediately or dial in your own settings as you learn the machine. Weighing 1 pound 14 ounces with the remote hip-mounted, the ORX uses XP's patented S-telescopic Lite stem for fast deployment and tool-free coil swaps in the field.

X35 Multi-Frequency Performance in Mineralized and Contaminated Ground

Parks and Lawns with Trash Density

The ORX's Coin Fast program runs best in urban parks where bottle caps, pull tabs, and foil clutter the topsoil. The detector's four reactivity levels let you speed up target recovery when good signals sit inches from junk. You'll pull silver coins from tot lots and jewelry from high-traffic picnic areas where single-frequency machines mask targets. The X35 coil's 35-frequency range stabilizes target ID in ground with electrical interference from power lines and underground utilities.

Farm Fields and Old Homesteads

The Coin Deep program maximizes depth in low-mineralized soil where iron contamination is light. You'll reach colonial coppers and seated silver in pastures and plowed fields where the ground phase stays stable. The ORX's 99 discrimination levels let you notch out fence staples and square nails while accepting round targets at 8 to 10 inches. Ground balance offers manual adjustment from 60 to 90 or automatic fast-grab tracking, so you can lock in stable threshold when you move between soil types.

Gold-Bearing Country with Hot Rocks

The Fine Gold program runs best in heavily mineralized soils with dense iron content and unstable ground phase. You'll pull small and medium nuggets from decomposed granite hillsides, dry washes, and alluvial benches where hot rocks are common. The X35 coil's lower frequencies (3.7 to 10 kHz) penetrate mineralized ground without false signals from magnetite. Discrimination in the Gold program uses five levels of IAR (Iron Amplitude Rejection) to filter ferrous trash while keeping threshold smooth. For hunters cross-shopping dedicated prospecting rigs, our gold detectors page compares the ORX against pulse-induction and higher-frequency VLF options.

Beach and Saltwater Environments

The ORX's salt mode ground rejection (00 to 25) stabilizes operation in wet sand and surf zones where conductivity swings with tide and moisture. The X35 coil is fully waterproof, so you can hunt the surf line and shallow wading depth without worrying about seal failure. You'll recover gold rings, silver jewelry, and clad coins in the wet-dry transition zone where other detectors chatter. The wireless remote stays on your hip, keeping the control box dry while you work the water.

Wireless Operation and Fast Target Recovery Speed

• Patented radio-frequency wireless communication between coil, remote, and headphones: No cables to tangle or break in brush. The digital radio link runs stable even when you're working through dense vegetation or swinging near power lines.
• Fast target response speed for trashy sites: The ORX's reactivity settings let you separate good targets sitting close to ferrous junk. You'll hear distinct signals on coins masked by nails and bottle caps in the same hole.
• S-telescopic Lite stem deploys in seconds: The patented stem combines the ergonomics of an S-curve with the packability of a telescopic shaft. You can fold the detector for transport or swap coils without tools in under a minute.
• Lightweight design reduces arm fatigue: At 1 pound 14 ounces with the remote hip-mounted, the ORX runs lighter than most detectors in its class. You'll hunt longer sessions in fields and beaches without wrist strain.
• 20-hour battery life on a single charge: Lithium rechargeable batteries power the coil and remote for full-day hunts. Charge via any certified USB adapter or computer connection, no proprietary charger required.

User-Friendly Interface and Customizable Programs

The ORX's menu system is built for hunters who want to start detecting immediately without reading a manual. Four factory programs cover the most common scenarios: Coin Fast for trashy parks, Coin Deep for clean farm fields, Gold for moderate mineralization, and Fine Gold for heavy hot-rock country. Each program is pre-tuned with sensitivity, discrimination, reactivity, and ground balance settings that work out of the box. If you're an experienced detectorist, two user-customizable program slots let you save your own settings for specific sites or target types.

The backlit LCD remote displays target ID from 0 to 99, iron probability from 0 to 100 percent, and numerical ground balance readings. You'll see real-time feedback on target depth, discrimination notches, and threshold level without scrolling through menus. Six control buttons let you adjust sensitivity (99 levels), discrimination (99 levels), reactivity (4 levels), and threshold (20 levels) on the fly. Iron tone with pitch audio can be toggled on or off, so you can run silent discrimination or hear ferrous targets for relic hunting.

The ORX is compatible with XP's MI-6 pinpointer, which communicates wirelessly with the remote for advanced settings. You can link the pinpointer to the detector's frequency and sensitivity, so both tools respond to the same targets. Software updates are delivered via USB cable, and XP releases firmware improvements regularly to enhance performance and add features.
