The XP Hard Transport Case is a molded ABS carry case designed for XP detectors with the 'S' telescopic stem system. Deus, Deus II, and ORX owners hunting remote sites or traveling to hunt camps get rain, dust, and shock protection in a case sized to hold the detector plus three search coils. The precision-cut foam secures each component in a fixed position, and the double-lock latches and padlock compatibility keep the contents safe during transit.
What's Included with the XP Hard Transport Case
- XP Hard Transport Case with precision-cut foam insert
- Double security lock latches (padlock not included)
Why XP Deus and ORX Owners Reach for the Hard Transport Case
- Protects your detector and up to 3 coils from rain, dust, and impact during vehicle transport or air travel
- Precision-cut foam holds the detector body, remote, coils, and accessories in fixed positions so components don't shift or collide
- ABS shell construction absorbs shocks that would damage a soft case or cardboard box
- Wide carrying handle and 7.3 lb case weight make single-person carry manageable for field trips
- Need a wheeled option for longer hauls? The Pelicase 1700 adds casters and deeper waterproofing for expedition-level transport
Rugged Protection for Multi-Coil Field Trips
Vehicle Transport on Rough Roads
Detectorists running the Deus II with multiple coils for site-specific hunts (an 11-inch round for open ground, a 9-inch elliptical for trash, a small HF coil for gold) need a case that prevents coil-to-coil contact and keeps connectors clean. The foam insert shapes to hold three coils in separate compartments, and the ABS shell absorbs the vibration and impacts of gravel roads or off-road access trails. The rain and dustproof seal keeps moisture and fine dust out even when the case rides in an open truck bed.
Air Travel with Checked Baggage
Hunters flying to permission sites or organized club hunts face baggage handlers and conveyor systems that crack soft cases. The XP hard case's shockproof construction and double-lock latches protect the detector during loading, and the padlock compatibility (padlock sold separately) secures the contents against tampering. At 28.74 x 11.41 x 6.69 inches, the case fits standard checked baggage size limits, and the 7.3 lb empty weight leaves room in most airline weight allowances for the detector and coils.
