The XP Deus HF Elliptical coil is a wireless high-frequency specialist built for detectorists hunting small gold, hammered silver, micro-jewelry, and lead shot in iron-heavy ground. Spanning 21 selectable frequencies from 13 to 81 kHz across three operating bands, this coil delivers sensitivity to low-conductor targets that standard 11-inch round coils struggle to resolve. XP Deus and ORX owners working trashy relic sites, prospecting ground, or dense iron scenarios reach for the narrow elliptical footprint when target separation and high-frequency coverage matter more than ground speed.
What's Included with the XP Deus HF Elliptical Coil
- XP Deus HF Elliptical 9.5" x 5" DD wireless coil (reference DELLHF)
- Lower shaft sized for the coil
- Internal rechargeable battery
- Coil assembly hardware kit with bolts, washers, and rubber bushings
- Coil cover
Why XP Deus and ORX Owners Reach for the HF Elliptical Coil
- Three frequency bands with seven offsets each deliver 21 working frequencies: 13-15.7 kHz for coin and relic work, 26-31 kHz for small silver and gold jewelry, 68-81 kHz for flake gold and micro-targets that lower-frequency coils miss.
- Narrow elliptical footprint maneuvers through stubble rows, foundation lines, woodland roots, and dense iron sites where round coils hang up, letting you swing slow and listen for high-tone low-conductor signals.
- Wireless self-contained design with onboard electronics and rechargeable battery eliminates cable snags and reduces arm fatigue during long hunts.
- Waterproof to 6 meters so wet ground, shallow water, and rain don't change the program.
- Upgrading your XP Deus or ORX with this coil adds a second hunting profile to the platform without buying another detector, explore our full range of metal detector search coils for additional options.
Tighter Target Separation in Iron-Heavy Relic Sites
Foundation Lines and Homestead Hunts
Colonial homestead foundations and stone-lined cellar holes concentrate iron nails, hinges, and strap fragments in the same soil layers that hold buttons, buckles, and hammered coins. The elliptical footprint cuts a narrower detection path than a round coil, reducing the iron you interrogate per swing. The Double-D winding delivers edge-to-edge consistency, so targets near the coil perimeter don't fade. Run the 26-31 kHz band when you're after small silver and lead, the 68-81 kHz band when micro-relics like tiny buttons or lead shot are the focus. Frequency offsets let you shift away from ground noise without leaving the site.
- Best for: XP Deus and ORX owners hunting colonial foundations, farmstead ruins, and iron-saturated relic sites where target density forces slower sweep speeds.
- Less ideal for: Open fields where a larger round coil covers ground faster and iron density is low.
Small Gold and Flake Prospecting
Prospectors working residual placer ground, dry washes, and bench deposits where flood gold settled in cracks and behind boulders need a coil that resolves sub-gram nuggets and flake gold. The 68-81 kHz band is purpose-built for this work. High-frequency transmission increases sensitivity to small low-conductor targets, and the wireless design lets you work steep slopes and rocky terrain without cable snags. Pair your prospecting sessions with solid gold panning basics to maximize your recovery. The coil's waterproof rating handles wet gravel and stream edges, and the elliptical shape fits between rocks where round coils hang up.
