The XP Deus is a fully wireless metal detector with a 9-inch X35 DD waterproof coil, WS4 backphone headphones, and an S-telescopic Lite stem that folds in seconds. This configuration delivers 35 selectable frequencies and nine pre-configured factory programs for coin, relic, and jewelry hunting in parks, farm fields, and beaches. XP's patented wireless architecture eliminates cables entirely, the coil and headphones communicate over a 36-channel digital radio link with the signal digitized and analyzed directly at the coil head. At 2 pounds 3 ounces with the headphones, the Deus runs on three lithium batteries with approximately 20 hours of coil runtime.

Wireless Multi-Frequency Detection in Parks and Farm Fields
Parks and Lawns
The Deus covers coin-shooting sites with 35 frequency choices, letting you tune around EMI from power lines or match the frequency to the target type. The 9-inch X35 coil balances depth and ground coverage for quarter-size silver and copper coins in turf. Nine factory programs include dedicated coin modes that discriminate iron trash while preserving high conductors, and the wireless architecture means you can swing all day without cable snag on playground equipment or park benches. Detectorists working tot lots and athletic fields appreciate the instant folding stem for vehicle storage and the headphone-only operation mode that drops the detector's weight below 2 pounds.
Farm Fields and Old Homesteads
Relic hunters run the Deus in plowed ground and pasture with the ground balance set to tracking mode, the detector auto-adjusts to mineralization changes as you walk transects. The multi-tone audio separates iron from non-ferrous targets by pitch, and the extended discrimination range lets you notch out specific conductivity bands when a field is heavy with square nails or barbed wire. The XP Deus metal detectors line is known for fast recovery speed, the coil resets quickly enough to resolve a coin lying next to a nail in the same hole.
Beach and Saltwater
The 9-inch coil and lower shaft are waterproof, the WS4 headphones are splash-resistant. You can hunt wet sand and wade shallow surf for jewelry and coins. Beach mode in the factory programs compensates for saltwater ground effect, and the wireless link holds stable in wet conditions where wired detectors sometimes suffer from moisture intrusion at cable connections.
Lightweight Wireless Architecture for Long Field Sessions
- Cable-free operation eliminates snag points and reduces swing fatigue: the coil, headphones, and optional remote communicate over a 36-channel digital radio link with no physical connections between components.
- Folds to backpack size in seconds: the S-telescopic Lite stem collapses for vehicle storage and air travel, a patented design that XP introduced with the Deus line.
- Headphone-only mode drops detector weight below 2 pounds: the WS4 headphones include full control interface and screen, so you can leave the remote at home and drive the detector from the headset alone.
- Lithium battery runtime supports full-day hunts: coil runs approximately 20 hours on a charge, headphones run 27 hours, and the USB cable recharges all three components simultaneously in under 3 hours.
- Adjustable audio response and iron volume let you tune the detector's voice: multi-tone mode assigns pitch by target conductivity, and you can independently control the volume of ferrous signals to quiet iron-heavy sites without losing discrimination feedback.
