The Serious Detecting All-Purpose Padded Carry Bag accommodates most mid-size and full-size metal detectors up to 51 inches in assembled length. Detectors with collapsible or telescoping stems fit easily without disassembly. The 16-inch width allows you to store the detector body alongside two or three coils, and the 10-inch height provides clearance for control boxes with mounted armrests. If you run a detector with an extended stem configuration or oversized coil, measure your setup before ordering to confirm the 51-inch length works for your gear. How many coils can I store in this bag along with my detector? The Serious Detecting carry bag holds a detector plus two to three coils depending on coil diameter. The interior securing strips keep each item from shifting during transport. Detectorists carrying four or more coils for a multi-day trip may need to pack coils in a separate bag or use a larger case. The exterior pocket adds space for a pinpointer, headphones, or small digging tool without crowding the main compartment. Is the padding thick enough to protect my detector during air travel? The Serious Detecting carry bag uses padded walls designed for vehicle transport and storage. The padding protects control boxes and LCD screens from minor impacts when the bag is stacked with other gear in a car trunk or stored in a closet. Detectorists flying with their equipment should consider packing the detector in a hard-shell case for airline handling, or carry the detector as a personal item in the cabin. The soft construction and full-zip design make this bag well suited for road trips, day hunts, and home storage. Can I fit a sand scoop or digging tool inside the main compartment? The main compartment of the Serious Detecting carry bag holds a detector and coils with limited remaining space for small tools. The 51-inch length and 16-inch width provide the primary storage dimensions for your gear. The exterior pocket provides a better storage spot for a pinpointer, small trowel, or finds pouch, keeping those items accessible without opening the main zipper. Detectorists carrying large digging tools or long-handled scoops typically strap them to the outside of the bag or transport them separately. For more packing strategies, visit our metal detecting tips and FAQs page. Does the bag have a shoulder strap or only carry handles? The Serious Detecting carry bag is equipped with carry handles that are double-stitched at the attachment points to support the weight of a detector plus multiple coils. The handle length allows you to carry the bag at your side or grip it with both hands for heavier loads. The bag's design is optimized for hand carry and vehicle transport. Detectorists who prefer shoulder carry for longer walks from the parking area to the hunt site may need to add an aftermarket strap with clips that attach to the handle loops. Will this bag fit in a standard car trunk or do I need an SUV? The Serious Detecting carry bag measures 51 inches long by 16 inches wide. The 51-inch length is a fixed dimension and cannot compress below that length when the detector is inside. SUVs and hatchbacks provide more vertical clearance, allowing you to stand the bag upright or stack it with other gear. Measure your vehicle's trunk or cargo area to confirm the bag will fit your available space before ordering. How do the interior securing strips work? The interior securing strips are fabric straps sewn to the inside walls of the Serious Detecting carry bag, designed to hold the detector body and coils in place during transport. You position your detector along one side of the bag, then secure the strips around the stem or control box to prevent the detector from shifting when the bag is lifted or moved. Coils nest beside the detector, and additional strips secure the coil cables to keep them from tangling. Check our Serious Detecting finds pouches, carry bags, sheaths, and starter kits collection for other storage options with different securing systems. Can I wash this bag if it gets muddy or sandy? The Serious Detecting carry bag is constructed from fabric with padded walls and features rugged double-stitched construction. Detectorists returning from beach hunts or wet-field sessions should shake out loose sand and debris before storing the bag. For surface dirt or mud, wipe down the interior and exterior panels to prevent grit from embedding in the fabric weave. Allow the bag to air-dry fully open before storing your detector inside to maintain the integrity of the padding and fabric. Does Serious Detecting offer a larger bag for detectors over 51 inches? The Serious Detecting All-Purpose Padded Carry Bag is currently available in one size with a 51-inch length, which accommodates most mid-size and full-size detectors with standard stem configurations. Detectorists running detectors with extended stems or non-collapsible shafts that exceed 51 inches will need to disassemble the stem or look for a larger case from another manufacturer.

The Serious Detecting Kit includes a finds pouch with a 42-inch adjustable waist belt, a TerraX double-serrated digger with belt holster, and protective gloves. The pouch provides secure storage for recovered targets, the digger handles soil and turf cutting, and the gloves protect your hands during recovery work. This three-piece bundle covers the core field accessories detectorists need for organized and efficient hunts. For more guidance on setting up your detecting gear, visit our metal detecting tips and FAQs. How does the 42-inch waist belt on the finds pouch adjust? The finds pouch features a 42-inch adjustable waist belt that accommodates a range of body types and allows for layered clothing in cold-weather hunts. The belt uses an adjustment mechanism to secure the pouch at your hip, keeping finds accessible without shifting during movement. The adjustable length ensures a comfortable fit whether you're wearing a light shirt or a heavy jacket. This design keeps the pouch positioned where you need it throughout multi-hour detecting sessions. What makes the TerraX digger's double-serrated blade effective? The TerraX digger's double-serrated blade cuts through compacted soil, root-bound turf, and dense ground more efficiently than single-edge designs. The serrated edge maintains sharpness through repeated use, reducing the effort required to create clean plugs. The included belt holster secures the digger to your waist so you can access it with one hand while keeping your detector in the other. This combination of blade design and accessibility speeds up target recovery in parks, fields, and relic sites. Are the gloves suitable for handling sharp finds and digging in rocky soil? The protective gloves included in the kit are built for durability and flexibility, allowing you to feel coins and small targets while protecting your hands from sharp edges, thorns, and abrasive soil. They are designed for durability in field conditions commonly encountered during recovery work. The gloves balance protection with tactile sensitivity, so you can identify targets by touch without removing them. This combination makes them suitable for handling finds and digging across various terrain types. Can I use this kit with any metal detector? The Serious Detecting Kit is designed to work with any metal detector, as the accessories are universal field tools rather than detector-specific attachments. The finds pouch, digger, and gloves support detectorists using entry-level, mid-range, or advanced detectors across all hunt types. If you're running a VLF detector in a park or a pulse-induction unit on a beach, this kit provides the storage and recovery tools you need. Explore our full metal detector lineup to find the right machine for your hunts. How do I attach the digger holster to my belt? The TerraX digger holster uses a belt-clip attachment that slides onto standard belt widths. The clip secures the holster in place without requiring threading or permanent mounting, so you can reposition it as needed. Once clipped, the holster holds the digger securely during movement and allows for quick single-hand removal when you locate a target. The design keeps the digger accessible without interfering with your detector swing or pouch access. Is the finds pouch large enough for a full day of hunting? The finds pouch included in the kit provides storage for recovered targets during park or field hunting sessions. The pouch's size balances storage capacity with weight distribution, preventing the belt from sagging when filled. For hunts where you expect high target volume, you may want to empty the pouch into a larger container partway through the session. The 42-inch adjustable belt keeps the pouch stable even when loaded, ensuring comfortable carry throughout your detecting day. Can I purchase replacement gloves if they wear out? The gloves included in the Serious Detecting Kit are standard protective work gloves, and while we do not currently offer replacements as standalone items, similar gloves are widely available from hardware and safety supply retailers. The gloves are designed for durability, but repeated use in abrasive soil will eventually wear through the fingertips and palms. When selecting replacement gloves, prioritize flexibility and puncture resistance to maintain the same balance of protection and tactile sensitivity. Does the digger work in wet or muddy soil conditions? The TerraX double-serrated digger cuts through wet and muddy soil effectively, as the serrated edge provides additional grip compared to smooth blades. Mud may cling to the blade during use, but the tool's construction allows for easy cleaning between recoveries. The holster secures the digger during use for convenient access. For beach and river hunts where sand and silt are common, rinse the digger and holster after each session to prevent buildup and maintain optimal performance. How does this kit compare to buying accessories separately? The Serious Detecting Kit bundles three essential field accessories in one package for convenient setup. Buying the finds pouch, digger with holster, and gloves separately would require coordinating sizes, compatibility, and shipping from multiple sources. This kit simplifies the process by providing matched accessories together, ensuring the pouch and digger work together without fit issues. For detectorists outfitting their first setup or replacing multiple worn items, the kit offers convenience and streamlined ordering. What is the warranty coverage for the items in this kit?

The Serious Detecting Mesh Bottom Beach Finds Bag is a universal carry pouch compatible with all metal detector brands and models. The 43-inch adjustable waist belt fits over wetsuits, dry suits, and standard clothing, making it suitable for beach hunters using Minelab, Garrett, Nokta, XP, Fisher, and other detectors. The pouch attaches via belt loop, independent of the detector's design, so it works equally well with single-frequency beach machines, multi-frequency platforms, and pulse-induction surf detectors. Our team runs this pouch with Equinox 800, Deus II, and Excalibur setups across different beach hunting scenarios. Does the mesh bottom cause small targets to fall through? The Serious Detecting pouch's mesh bottom uses a tight weave that retains coins, rings, and small gold items while allowing sand and water to drain. The mesh is designed to pass fine sand particles and water while retaining small jewelry and targets. The Cordura fabric sidewalls and zippered top closure provide primary containment, while the mesh serves only as a drainage panel on the pouch floor. Detectorists concerned about ultra-fine gold items can use the outer zippered pocket with the mesh back for high-value finds. The two-compartment design gives you flexibility to separate valuables from trash targets during your hunt. Will the zippers corrode in saltwater? The Serious Detecting Beach Finds Bag uses corrosion-resistant zippers rated for repeated saltwater exposure. The zipper coils and pulls are treated to resist the oxidation that degrades standard brass or steel zippers in marine environments. We recommend rinsing the pouch with fresh water after each saltwater hunt and leaving the zippers open during drying to prevent salt crystal buildup in the teeth. The Cordura fabric also resists UV degradation and abrasion from sand, maintaining structural integrity longer than nylon or polyester alternatives. For extended pouch life, store the bag in a dry location between hunts and avoid leaving it compressed in a vehicle trunk where heat accelerates material breakdown. Does the pinpointer holster fit all pinpointer models? The integrated pinpointer holster on the Serious Detecting Beach Finds Bag is designed to accommodate most standard pinpointers commonly used for metal detecting. This includes popular compact and mid-size models from major manufacturers. The holster provides secure retention during active hunting, including running, bending, and surf entry. Pinpointers with non-standard shapes such as flat-profile or wide-body designs may not fit the holster's orientation. The holster itself is not included in the package; it is designed to hold your existing pinpointer. For help selecting a compatible pinpointer, see our serious detecting finds pouches, carry bags, sheaths & starter kits collection. Can I wear this pouch over a wetsuit? The Serious Detecting pouch's 43-inch belt adjustment range fits over 5mm and 7mm full-body wetsuits commonly worn for winter surf hunting. The belt extends to accommodate the added girth of neoprene layers while maintaining secure positioning on the hips. Detectorists using farmer-john style wetsuits or layered wetsuit combinations should measure their suited waist circumference, if it exceeds 40 inches, the belt may reach its adjustment limit and require an extender. The Cordura fabric and corrosion-resistant hardware tolerate repeated wetsuit contact and saltwater immersion without degrading. We run this pouch over 5mm wetsuits during Oregon winter surf hunts where water temperatures drop to 48-52 degrees Fahrenheit, the belt stays secure during chest-deep wading and the mesh drainage prevents water retention that would add insulation-defeating weight. The pouch also works over dry suits, though the smooth shell material may require tighter belt adjustment to prevent shifting. What is the carabiner clip used for? The carabiner clip attached to the Serious Detecting Beach Finds Bag secures small high-value items outside the main compartment, including car keys, rings, or gold chains that you want isolated from bulk trash targets. The clip attaches to the pouch exterior, keeping clipped items visible and preventing loss if the main compartment zipper fails or opens accidentally. Beach hunters working areas with high theft risk use the carabiner for car fobs and wallets, ensuring critical items stay attached even if the pouch is removed during a break. The clip also serves as a temporary hold point for freshly recovered rings before transferring them to the outer zippered pocket for permanent storage. The carabiner is designed for securing lightweight personal items during detecting activities. How do I clean the pouch after saltwater use? Rinse the Serious Detecting Beach Finds Bag with fresh water after each saltwater hunt to remove salt crystals and sand particles that accelerate fabric and zipper wear. Open both zippered compartments fully and flush the interior with a hose or under a faucet, working the zippers back and forth to clear salt from the teeth. Shake the pouch to expel excess water, then hang it in a shaded, ventilated area with zippers open to air-dry completely before storage. Hand rinsing is recommended to preserve the mesh panels and zipper integrity. For stubborn sand buildup in the mesh, use a soft brush to dislodge particles while rinsing. Monthly inspection of the zippers and belt attachment points catches early wear before failures occur.

The Le Trap Square Gold Pan uses a rectangular 18in x 12in shape instead of the traditional round design, which gives you a larger working area and straight edges for scraping concentrates. The square geometry processes more material per pan than a standard 14-inch round pan, and the deep riffles along all four edges create multiple trap zones for fine gold and black sands. Prospectors who run pay dirt at home or sample creek gravel appreciate the efficiency boost, though some users prefer the traditional swirling motion of a round pan. The lightweight plastic construction makes it easy to carry into the field for river and stream prospecting. How deep are the riffles on the Le Trap pan, and do they trap flour gold effectively? The Le Trap pan features deep riffles molded along all four edges that trap fine gold and black sands as you swirl and tilt the pan during the panning process. The riffle depth is designed to catch flour gold that would wash over smooth pans or shallow-riffled designs, giving you better recovery on concentrates and pay dirt cleanup. The green plastic color contrasts with black sands, making it easier to spot fine gold during the final cleanup stages. Our team has used this pan on creek concentrates and pay dirt, and the riffles hold material well without requiring constant re-panning. Can I use the Le Trap Square Gold Pan in a creek or river, or is it only for pay dirt at home? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan works in both field and home environments. The lightweight plastic construction and 18in x 12in x 4in dimensions make it portable enough for creek and river prospecting, where you can sample gravel bars or run concentrates from a sluice box. The 4-inch depth holds enough material that you're not constantly refilling when you're working a productive spot. At home, the pan excels at processing pay dirt and black sand concentrates, and the riffles trap fine gold during multi-pan cleanup sessions. For more techniques, see our gold panning guide. Is the Le Trap pan suitable for beginners, or does the square shape require advanced panning skills? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan is suitable for beginners learning the basics of gold panning, though the square shape requires a slightly different technique than the traditional round-pan swirling motion. The riffled edges trap gold effectively even if your panning motion isn't perfect, and the large 18in x 12in working area gives you room to practice without spilling material. Beginners appreciate the straight edges for scraping concentrates and the green color for spotting gold against black sands. Once you adapt to the square geometry, the pan processes material faster than a round pan of similar capacity. What is the actual capacity of the Le Trap pan in terms of material volume per load? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan measures 18in x 12in x 4in, which gives it a working capacity larger than a standard 14-inch round pan when filled to a practical working level. The 4-inch depth holds enough gravel or pay dirt that you can process a meaningful sample without constant refilling, but the exact volume in gallons or liters depends on how full you load the pan. Prospectors typically fill the pan about two-thirds full to leave room for the swirling and tilting motion needed to separate gold from lighter material. The generous size lets you process more material quickly while maintaining efficient gold recovery. Does the green plastic color of the Le Trap pan fade or crack after extended use in the sun and water? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan is made from durable lightweight plastic designed for outdoor prospecting use, and the green color provides contrast for spotting gold against black sands. The plastic construction resists cracking during normal use in creeks and rivers. Like most plastic products, prolonged sun exposure may affect color over time. Our team has run similar plastic pans for years without structural issues, and the riffle depth remains consistent even after hundreds of panning sessions. The rugged construction ensures reliable performance whether you're working in rivers, streams, or processing pay dirt at home. Can the Le Trap pan be used as a classifier, or do I need a separate mesh screen for that? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan is designed as a finishing pan for separating gold from concentrates, not as a classifier. The pan has no built-in mesh or screen to grade material by size, so you'll need a separate classifier if you want to remove large rocks and roots before panning. The square shape does make it easier to scrape classified material into the pan from a bucket, and the straight edges work well for transferring concentrates into a vial or bottle. Many prospectors pair this pan with a half-inch or quarter-inch classifier to speed up the panning process. How does the Le Trap pan perform with black sand concentrates compared to smooth-bottom pans? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan excels at processing black sand concentrates because the deep riffles along all four edges trap fine gold and heavy black sands as you work the material. The riffled design catches flour gold that would wash over smooth-bottom pans, giving you better recovery on concentrates from sluice boxes or drywashers. The green plastic color contrasts sharply with black sands, making it easier to spot fine gold during the final cleanup. Prospectors working magnetite-heavy concentrates appreciate the riffle depth, which holds material in place while you tilt and swirl the pan. Is the Le Trap pan made in the USA, and does that affect the quality or durability? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan is proudly made in the USA, which reflects trusted quality and craftsmanship for serious gold prospectors. The durable lightweight plastic construction resists cracking and warping during field use in rivers, creeks, and home pay dirt processing. Prospectors who prioritize domestic manufacturing appreciate supporting American workers and the reliable performance that comes with USA-made prospecting equipment. The construction quality makes this pan a dependable tool whether you're a beginner learning gold panning basics or a seasoned prospector focused on fine gold recovery. Can I stack multiple Le Trap pans for transport, or does the square shape make that difficult? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan's lightweight plastic construction means you can carry multiple pans without adding significant weight to your prospecting kit. The 18in x 12in dimensions and rectangular shape make the pan easy to organize and transport as part of your gold panning equipment. Whether you're heading to rivers and streams or setting up a pay dirt processing station at home, the durable construction and manageable size make this pan a practical addition to your prospecting gear. The square geometry provides a large working area while remaining portable enough for field use. What other prospecting tools should I pair with the Le Trap pan for a complete gold panning setup? The Le Trap Square Gold Pan works well as part of a complete prospecting kit that includes a classifier to grade material before panning, a snuffer bottle or suction tweezers to pick up fine gold, and a small vial to store your finds. Many prospectors also carry a magnet to remove magnetic black sands from concentrates, a hand trowel or scoop to dig gravel, and a five-gallon bucket to transport material from the creek to your panning station.

The Tube Tubb floats even when you dump a full scoop of wet sand or gravel onto the mesh. The buoyant frame is designed to support the weight of screening material without sinking, so you can rinse finds in place without chasing a submerged sieve downstream. In calm water, the loaded sieve sits stable on the surface. In light current or wave action, it may drift slightly, but the white handles stay visible and easy to grab. We've used it in knee-deep river current and shallow surf, and it hasn't gone under during normal screening loads. What are the dimensions and weight of the Tube Tubb? The Tube Tubb measures 31 inches long, 18 inches wide, and 6 inches deep, with a total weight of 18 pounds. The 31x18-inch screening area is large enough to dump a full digger scoop in one pass, which speeds up recovery on multi-target sites. At 18 pounds, it's light enough to carry down a trail or riverbank but heavy enough to resist flipping in wind. The 6-inch depth keeps material from washing over the sides when you're agitating the sieve in current. Can the Tube Tubb handle rocky riverbeds without cracking? The Tube Tubb's frame is built from impact-resistant material that survives contact with streambed cobble and gravel. We've dropped it on rocks, dragged it across gravel bars, and loaded it into truck beds without cracking the frame or bending the mesh. The welded mesh stays tight across the frame even after seasons of abrasion from sand and pebbles. If you're working a rocky river or surf zone where sieves take constant impacts, this construction holds up better than thin plastic classifiers. For more water-detecting recovery tools, see our full gold prospecting equipment lineup. Is the Tube Tubb easy to transport to remote detecting sites? At 18 pounds and 31x18x6 inches, the Tube Tubb is portable enough for most water-detecting trips but not packable for long hikes. The white handles make it easy to carry with one or two hands, and the frame stacks flat in a truck bed or SUV cargo area. If you're driving to a river access point or launching from a boat ramp, transport is straightforward. For backpacking into remote creeks, the size and weight may be a constraint, and you'd want a collapsible sifter instead. How does the Tube Tubb compare to using a handheld sand scoop in water? The Tube Tubb provides a stable screening platform that a handheld sand scoop doesn't. With a scoop, you dump material into the water and try to rinse it in your hands, which risks losing small targets to current or waves. The Tube Tubb floats beside you, so you dump the scoop's contents onto the mesh and rinse in place without chasing finds downstream. The 31x18-inch surface area also lets you spread material thin for faster visual sorting. For practical advice on water-detecting workflows, visit our metal detecting tips and FAQs page. What warranty and return policy apply to the Tube Tubb? The Tube Tubb is built from durable, impact-resistant materials designed to withstand the rigors of water-based metal detecting and prospecting. The super-durable construction ensures the frame and mesh hold up through seasons of use in rivers, surf zones, and gravel bars. The floating design and stable platform make it nearly indestructible in typical detecting conditions, so you can rely on it for long-term recovery work. If you have questions about the product or need support, contact our team and we'll help you get the most from your Tube Tubb sieve. What size targets does the 0.4-inch mesh catch? The Tube Tubb's 0.4-inch mesh catches coins, rings, relics, and gold nuggets while letting sand and small pebbles wash through. A dime (0.7 inches) or a wheat penny (0.75 inches) sits comfortably on the mesh, and gold nuggets down to about half an inch are retained. Smaller targets like BBs or fine gold flakes will pass through, so if you're working placer deposits with flour gold, you'll want a finer classifier downstream. For water-based relic hunting and coin shooting, this mesh size balances fast rinsing with reliable target retention. Check our gold classifiers & sifters collection for finer mesh options if you're processing concentrates. shopify_US_10639949463836_53183876727068 What is the diameter of the TurboPan gold pan?

Can I attach the finds pouch to a belt instead of the backpack? The XP Finds Pouch uses a universal MOLLE attachment system, so you can mount it to the Backpack 280's belt or wear it on any belt or gear rig with MOLLE-compatible webbing. The MOLLE design lets you detach the pouch from the backpack for short park hunts where you don't need the full backpack, then reattach it for longer multi-site days. The pouch slides onto MOLLE webbing and locks in place without tools or separate clips. How does the water-drainage system work on the finds pouch? The XP Finds Pouch features drainage holes at the bottom that release trapped water, mud, and sand after wet-field recoveries or beach hunts. When you drop targets into the main pocket during a hunt in wet conditions, the drainage system prevents moisture accumulation that adds weight and keeps the interior filthy. After the hunt, you can rinse the pouch under a hose or faucet, and the drainage holes let water flow out rather than pooling inside. The fully washable construction means the pouch stays clean across repeated wet-weather sessions without the mildew buildup that affects non-draining pouches. What size pinpointer fits in the finds pouch? The XP Finds Pouch is designed to carry XP's MI-4 or MI-6 pinpointers, which are the standard sizes for XP's pinpointer lineup. The pouch's main pocket is large enough to hold a pinpointer alongside digging tools and recovered targets without crowding. Other brands' pinpointers in similar dimensions will also fit, but XP designed the pouch specifically for their own MI-series models.

Is the Backpack 280 waterproof or just water-resistant? The XP Backpack 280 is made from washable fabric with a water-draining finds pouch, but it is not a sealed waterproof system like a hard case with O-ring seals. The backpack will handle rain and wet-field conditions without soaking through immediately, and the finds pouch's drainage system prevents water accumulation in the pouch itself. For full waterproof protection during air travel or submersion scenarios, XP offers hard cases with sealed construction. The 280 is built for field carry where you need weather resistance and easy access rather than submersion protection. Can I use the Backpack 280 for air travel? The XP Backpack 280 is a soft-fabric backpack without the impact protection or pressure-balancing features needed for checked airline baggage. Baggage handlers and pressure changes during flights can damage detectors in soft bags, so XP offers the Pelicase 1700 hard case for air travel. The 1700 has pre-cut foam, a pressure-balancing valve, and a hard shell that protects against the rough handling and stacking that occurs in cargo holds. Use the Backpack 280 for vehicle transport, trail hikes, and carry-on situations where you maintain control of the bag. Does the finds pouch have a zippered pocket for valuables? The XP Finds Pouch includes a small zippered pocket designed for storing important objects like keys, a phone, or high-value finds that you want separated from the bulk targets in the main pocket. The zippered pocket keeps these items secure and prevents them from mixing with dirt-covered relics or clad coins in the drainage-equipped main compartment. The zipper closure protects against loss during active hunting when you're bending, kneeling, or moving through brush. How do I clean the finds pouch after a muddy hunt? The XP Finds Pouch is fully washable, so you can rinse it under a hose or in a sink after muddy or sandy hunts. The water-drainage holes at the bottom let rinse water flow out, carrying mud and debris with it. For stubborn dirt buildup, use mild soap and a brush on the fabric, then rinse thoroughly and let the pouch air-dry. The washable construction and drainage system mean the pouch stays clean and odor-free across repeated wet-field sessions, unlike pouches that trap moisture and develop mildew. Browse our full pouch selection for other washable and drainage-ready options. What's the difference between the Backpack 280 and a generic detector backpack? The XP Backpack 280 is designed specifically for XP detectors with S-telescopic stems, so the compartments are sized to fit the Deus and ORX in their broken-down configuration without excess volume that causes shifting. Generic detector backpacks use one-size-fits-all layouts that leave gaps around smaller detectors or don't accommodate XP's stem geometry, leading to component movement and potential damage during transport. The 280's dedicated pockets keep the control box, stem sections, coils, and remote separated in fixed positions, and the included finds pouch with MOLLE attachment integrates with the backpack's belt for a unified carry system. For XP owners who want organized transport without repacking gear into makeshift compartments, the 280's purpose-built layout is the advantage. shopify_US_10560799703324_52797792026908 Is this cable compatible with all DEUS II coils?

This battery replacement kit works with XP D01, D28, X35, and FMF coil models used on Deus and Deus II metal detectors. These coils share the same battery design for their wireless transmission systems, so one kit covers multiple coil types. The replacement battery restores the coil's wireless link to the control unit when the original battery's voltage declines. If you own multiple XP coils from this series, you can use the same kit for future replacements across your coil inventory. How do I know when my XP coil battery needs replacement? Your XP coil battery needs replacement when battery voltage decline affects the coil's wireless performance and reliability. Battery voltage decline is gradual, and when performance issues appear, the battery has reached the end of its service life and a replacement restores full wireless performance. The battery powers the coil's wireless transmission to the control unit, so maintaining good battery health is essential for reliable detecting. Replacing the battery when it starts declining ensures your coil maintains consistent wireless communication during hunts. What is Max Repair sealant and why is it included in the kit? Max Repair is a waterproof adhesive sealant that reseals the XP coil housing after you open it to replace the battery. XP coils are sealed units to maintain their waterproof rating, and breaking that seal to access the battery compartment exposes the internal electronics to moisture risk. The Max Repair sealant creates a waterproof bond between the housing halves, allowing you to continue hunting wet sand, shallow water, and rain without water intrusion. The sealant is essential for maintaining the coil's original waterproof integrity after the repair. For more on how wireless coils function, see our guide to metal detector technologies. Can I install the replacement battery myself or do I need a technician? You can install the replacement battery yourself if you're comfortable with basic repair work and have patience for the resealing process. The installation involves opening the coil housing, disconnecting the old battery, installing the new one with the clamp hardware, and applying the Max Repair sealant to reseal the housing. The mechanical steps are straightforward, but the resealing phase requires careful application of the sealant and adequate cure time before submerging the coil. If you're not confident in your ability to achieve a proper waterproof seal, have the work done by a qualified technician who has experience with XP coil repairs. How long does the Max Repair sealant take to cure before I can use the coil in water? Max Repair sealant requires adequate cure time before the coil can be submerged in water. Allow the sealant to fully cure after application before exposing the coil to moisture. Rushing the cure can compromise the waterproof seal and allow water to enter the coil housing, which damages the internal electronics. A properly cured seal maintains waterproof integrity for wet-environment detecting. The Max Repair sealant ensures your coil maintains its waterproof rating after the battery swap, which is particularly important if you hunt beaches or wet conditions where water intrusion could damage the electronics. Does this kit work with the original XP Deus or only the Deus II? This kit works with both the original XP Deus and the Deus II because the D01, D28, X35, and FMF coils are compatible across both detector generations. The wireless transmission system and battery design are the same for these coil models regardless of which control unit you pair them with. If you own an original Deus and run any of these coils, the replacement battery restores wireless performance just as it does for Deus II users. The kit is not model-specific to the control unit, it's specific to the coil series. What happens if I don't replace the battery when it starts failing? If you don't replace the battery when it starts failing, the coil's wireless link to the control unit will become increasingly unreliable until it stops functioning entirely. Early symptoms include intermittent disconnections and reduced pairing range, but as the battery voltage drops further, the coil may fail to power on or maintain a stable connection during hunts. A completely dead battery leaves the coil unusable until the battery is replaced. Continuing to use a coil with a weak battery also risks losing targets mid-hunt when the wireless link drops unexpectedly. For additional coil maintenance supplies, visit our metal detector parts & accessories collection. Can I reuse the Max Repair sealant tube for multiple coil repairs? The sealant tube can be reused if properly sealed between uses to prevent the sealant from drying out. XP users with multiple coils can perform multiple repairs from one kit by sealing the tube properly after each use. If the sealant hardens in the tube, it becomes unusable, so proper storage is critical for getting multiple repairs from one tube. The kit includes everything you need for a proper repair, including the Max Repair waterproof sealant tube for proper resealing. Keeping the cap tightly sealed between uses helps preserve the sealant for future battery replacements. Will replacing the battery void my XP coil warranty? Check your coil's warranty status before proceeding with a DIY battery replacement. If your coil is still under warranty and experiencing battery issues, contact XP or an authorized service center before attempting the repair yourself. For coils outside the warranty period, the battery replacement kit is a cost-effective way to extend the coil's service life without replacing the entire unit. Battery replacement requires opening the coil housing, so if you're not comfortable with the repair process, consider having it done by a qualified technician. Results may vary depending on your specific coil model and age. Does the kit include instructions for the battery replacement process? The installation steps involve disconnecting the old battery, installing the new one with the clamp hardware, and resealing the housing with the Max Repair sealant. Battery replacement requires opening the coil housing, so take your time with the resealing process. The kit includes everything you need for a complete battery replacement, including replacement battery, Max Repair waterproof sealant tube, and clamp hardware for secure battery installation. If you're not comfortable with the repair process, consider having it done by a qualified technician. For technical support, visit our XP metal detectors - authorized US dealer page for contact information. How many battery replacements can I expect to perform on a single XP coil over its lifespan? Results may vary depending on your specific coil model and age when it comes to battery replacement frequency. The battery replacement kit is a cost-effective way to extend the coil's service life without replacing the entire unit when battery voltage declines. Each replacement restores the coil's wireless performance and delays the need for a full coil upgrade. The kit includes everything you need for a complete battery replacement, including the replacement battery compatible with D01, D28, X35, and FMF coils, Max Repair waterproof sealant, and clamp hardware. Maintaining good battery health is essential for reliable detecting with XP wireless coils. shopify_US_8289784627484_45212819685660 Which XP detector components does this cable charge? This USB 3 Mini B cable charges all three wireless components of the XP DEUS and XP ORX systems simultaneously: the wireless headset (WS4 or WS5 models), the remote control, and the search coil. The cable features three Mini B connectors that plug directly into the charging ports on each component, with a single USB-A plug on the opposite end that connects to any standard USB power adapter or computer USB port. This design eliminates the need to charge components one at a time or use multiple separate cables. Our team uses this cable to keep entire XP systems charged overnight between detecting sessions, and it works with every DEUS and ORX component combination we've tested. How long does it take to fully charge all three components? Charging time for the XP DEUS and ORX components varies depending on the power source's output capacity and the components' remaining battery levels when you connect them. We've found that plugging the system in before bed after a full day of detecting consistently delivers a fully charged setup by morning. The USB 3 Mini B connectors maintain reliable charging performance across repeated cycles, and we've never experienced a component failing to charge when properly connected to this cable. For best results, use a quality USB wall adapter or computer USB port that provides consistent power output throughout the charging session. Can I use this cable with a portable USB battery pack in the field? Yes, this cable works with any portable USB battery pack that provides a standard USB-A output port, making it useful for multi-day detecting trips where wall outlets aren't available. We've used this cable with portable battery packs to recharge XP components during lunch breaks at remote hunt sites or overnight at camping locations. This setup is particularly valuable for detectorists attending week-long rallies or running extended beach hunts where returning to a vehicle or building for charging isn't practical. Choose a battery pack with sufficient capacity to meet your charging needs based on how many components you need to recharge. You can browse other field-ready solutions in our metal detector parts & accessories collection. Is this cable compatible with the XP DEUS II system? No, this USB 3 Mini B cable is designed specifically for the original XP DEUS and XP ORX systems and is not compatible with the XP DEUS II. This cable is only compatible with DEUS and ORX systems. If you own a DEUS II detector, you need the charging cable supplied with that system or a DEUS II-specific replacement cable from XP. This cable's Mini B connectors physically match only the charging ports on DEUS and ORX wireless headsets, remotes, and coils. What happens if one component finishes charging before the others? The XP DEUS and ORX components feature charging circuits designed to protect the battery once it reaches full capacity, so leaving all three connected after one finishes charging does not damage the battery or component. The cable continues supplying power to the remaining components until they also reach full charge. We routinely leave the entire system connected overnight even though different components may finish charging at different times, and we've never experienced battery degradation or overcharging issues. This design allows you to plug in all three components before bed without monitoring which one finishes first. Can I charge just one or two components if I don't need all three connectors? Yes, you can use any combination of the three Mini B connectors on this cable, and unused connectors can remain unplugged without affecting charging performance on the connected components. The cable's three connectors allow flexible charging of one, two, or all three components as needed. If you only need to charge the headphones and remote, plug those two connectors in and leave the third connector free. We often charge only the headphones and coil when the remote still has sufficient battery remaining from the previous hunt. Does this cable also transfer data for firmware updates? No, this USB 3 Mini B cable is designed exclusively for charging and does not support data transfer or firmware updates. XP DEUS and ORX firmware updates require a separate USB update cable sold by XP Metal Detectors that connects to the remote control and communicates with XP's update software. This cable is for charging only. If you need to update your detector's firmware, you must purchase the dedicated XP update cable in addition to this charging cable. What should I do if a component isn't charging when connected to this cable? First, verify that the Mini B connector is fully seated in the component's port, as partial connections prevent power transfer. Ensure the USB-A plug is inserted securely into a verified power source. Inspect the charging port for dirt, sand, or corrosion that might block contacts, and clean gently with compressed air if needed. If all connections are tight and the power source works normally with other devices, the issue likely stems from the component's internal battery condition rather than the cable. Contact XP's technical support or an authorized XP Metal Detectors dealer for deep troubleshooting. Is this cable durable enough for regular field use and travel? The XP DEUS & ORX USB 3 Mini B cable features durable construction that handles regular plug/unplug cycles and field transport without connection failures or wire damage. The cable's compact design packs easily into a detector bag or accessory pouch, and the connectors are designed for regular use. We've carried this cable on dozens of multi-day detecting trips, stuffed it into gear bags alongside coils and digging tools, and used it in dusty, humid, and cold environments without experiencing charging issues. The USB-A plug and Mini B connectors show minimal wear after a year of regular use, and the cable's flexibility prevents kinks or breaks at stress points near the connectors. Can I use this cable with a car USB adapter for charging during travel? Yes, this cable works with car USB adapters that provide a standard USB-A port, allowing you to charge XP DEUS and ORX components during road trips to detecting sites. We've used this cable with car adapters to top up detector components during long drives. A car adapter is particularly useful for detectorists who hunt multiple sites in a single day and need to recharge components between locations. Choose a car adapter with sufficient output to provide reliable charging performance for your components. You can find other travel-ready accessories in our XP metal detectors - authorized US dealer collection. shopify_US_8289784693020_45212819816732 Which XP Deus coils does this cover fit? This 11-inch coil cover fits the XP Deus II 11-inch FMF search coil and the XP Deus X35 11-inch round coil. Both coils share the same 11-inch round DD footprint, so one cover works across both platforms. If you run a different coil size or shape (9-inch, 13x11 elliptical), you need the cover specific to that coil's dimensions. Our XP metal detectors - authorized US dealer collection lists the correct cover for each coil model. Does the coil cover come with mounting hardware? Yes, this kit includes the mounting hardware (screws and fasteners) needed to install the cover on your 11-inch DD coil. You do not need to purchase separate hardware. The included fasteners provide a secure attachment identical to the original cover. When installing, simply finger-tighten the screws to avoid stressing the plastic. How often should I replace my coil cover? Replace your coil cover when you see visible cracks, deep scuff marks that expose the coil housing, or separation along the mounting edge. Inspect the cover regularly during use, especially if you hunt in rocky terrain, riverbeds, or other abrasive environments. If you submerge your coil frequently, check the cover for hairline cracks before each water hunt to maintain the waterproof seal and prevent moisture intrusion into the coil housing. Will this cover work on the 9-inch or 13x11-inch coils? No, this cover is sized specifically for the 11-inch round coil. The 9-inch round coil and the 13x11-inch elliptical coil require their own cover models because the mounting hole spacing and shell dimensions differ. Using the wrong cover creates gaps that allow dirt and moisture intrusion during your hunts. Is the cover waterproof for submersion detecting? Yes, the cover itself is waterproof and maintains the coil's submersion rating when properly installed. The XP Deus II and X35 coils are designed for underwater use, and this cover preserves that capability by sealing the coil housing against water intrusion. A worn or cracked cover compromises the seal, so replace it before deep-water hunts. Learn more about waterproof coil design and the technologies behind modern detectors on our reference page. Can I install the cover myself or do I need a technician? You can install the cover yourself with basic tools. Remove the old cover's screws, lift off the worn cover, position the new cover over the coil housing, and fasten the included hardware. No calibration or electronic adjustment is required after installation. The process is straightforward and does not require specialized equipment or technical expertise. Does this cover affect coil sensitivity or depth? No, the coil cover does not affect sensitivity, depth, or target separation. It is a passive protective shell that sits outside the coil housing and does not interfere with the electromagnetic field the coil transmits and receives. The cover's purpose is mechanical protection and waterproof sealing, not signal modification. If you need help selecting other metal detector parts & accessories for your XP system, our team can guide you. shopify_US_8289783087388_45212816507164 Which XP Deus coils does this cover fit? This cover fits the XP Deus X35 13" x 11" coil and the XP Deus II 13" x 11" FMF coil. Both coils share the same elliptical 13x11 footprint, so the cover stretches over either one without modification. It does not fit the 9-inch round coils or the 11-inch round coils, which require different cover sizes. Detectorists who own both the original Deus and the Deus II can use this single cover across both platforms if they run the large elliptical coil on each machine. How do I install the coil cover on my Deus coil? The cover installs by stretching it over the coil perimeter and seating it against the coil shell. Start at one end of the ellipse and work the cover around the edge, pulling gently to avoid tearing the material. No tools, adhesive, or hardware are required. The flexible polymer construction allows the cover to stretch over the coil and seat tightly enough to stay in place during detecting without slipping or bunching. XP designed the cover for easy field installation and removal when needed. Does the cover reduce detection depth or sensitivity? The cover does not reduce detection depth or sensitivity in any measurable way. The thin polymer construction sits close to the coil shell and does not introduce spacing or mass that would interfere with the electromagnetic field. The cover's job is to absorb abrasion, not to shield the coil from signals. Detectorists use these covers specifically because they protect the coil shell without compromising performance, allowing full detection capability while preventing damage from rocks, roots, and abrasive ground conditions. Can I use this cover on other detector brands? This cover is designed specifically for the XP Deus X35 13x11 coil and the XP Deus II FMF 13x11 coil. The cover is molded to match the elliptical footprint and shell profile of these specific XP coils. Detectorists who own Minelab, Garrett, or Nokta detectors need to source covers designed for those specific coil models. For more on metal detector parts and accessories across brands, the linked collection includes covers and hardware for non-XP platforms. How long does a coil cover typically last? Cover lifespan depends on hunting frequency and ground conditions. Detectorists who hunt rocky fields or gravel-heavy parks will see faster wear than those who hunt softer soil. The polymer shows surface scuffing long before it tears or punctures, so you'll have visual warning when replacement is due. Replacing a worn cover is far cheaper than repairing a cracked coil shell, and many Deus owners keep a spare cover in their kit to swap mid-hunt if the first one tears. XP offers these covers as consumable protective accessories designed to take the abuse that would otherwise damage the coil. Does the cover interfere with coil waterproofing? The cover does not interfere with the coil's waterproof rating. The XP Deus X35 13x11 coil and the Deus II FMF 13x11 coil are both waterproof coils, and the cover sits on the outside of the coil shell without penetrating the seal or creating water-entry points. Detectorists who wade creeks or hunt wet sand can run the cover without compromising the coil's submersion capability. The cover itself is not sealed or waterproof-rated, but it does not need to be because it does not contact the coil's internal electronics. Can I remove and reinstall the cover multiple times? The cover is designed for field use and can be removed and reinstalled as needed. Pull gently when removing the cover to avoid snagging the edge on the coil lugs. Detectorists who swap coils mid-hunt or who transport their detector with the cover on and remove it for storage can cycle the cover on and off without immediate tearing. The material stretches slightly with repeated use, so a cover that feels tight on the first install may seat more loosely over time. When the cover no longer grips the coil edge firmly, it's time to replace it. Is this cover the same as the one that ships with new XP coils? This is a replacement coil cover for the XP Deus X35 13x11 and Deus II FMF 13x11 coils. XP manufactures a full range of scuff covers to fit their search coils, and this cover matches the 13x11 elliptical footprint specified for these coil models. Detectorists who lose or wear out their original cover can use this replacement to restore coil protection. For the full range of XP metal detectors and accessories, the linked collection includes coils, covers, and hardware for both Deus generations. Does the cover add noticeable weight to the coil? The lightweight polymer construction adds minimal weight to the coil. The 13x11 elliptical coil is already one of the larger coils in the XP lineup due to its size, and the cover's mass is a small fraction of the coil's total weight. Hunters who swing the coil for hours at a time in open fields or parks use these covers specifically because they provide abrasion protection without altering the coil's handling characteristics. The thin material conforms closely to the coil shell and does not shift the balance point or create drag during the swing. What should I do if the cover tears during a hunt? If the cover tears during a hunt, you can continue detecting without it for the remainder of the session, but the coil shell will be exposed to abrasion. Many detectorists carry a spare cover in their finds pouch or backpack for this reason, especially when hunting rocky or root-heavy ground where tears are more likely. A torn cover does not affect coil function or waterproofing, it only removes the protective barrier. At the end of the hunt, remove the torn cover and install a new one before the next outing. For carry solutions that hold spare parts and accessories, the detector technology page links to field-tested gear recommendations. shopify_US_8289296482588_45210989363484 What is included in the DEUS II remote control main body replacement part? The DEUS II remote control main body replacement includes the outer housing shell, lens cover, gasket rings, connector cable, and mounting screws. This kit provides all the external components needed to rebuild your remote's body after damage to the housing. You reuse the internal electronics (circuit board, battery, antenna module) from your existing remote. The gasket rings restore the water-resistant seal between housing halves. For other XP metal detectors parts, check our full accessory catalog. Will this replacement body work with the original DEUS or ORX remotes? No, this main body is designed specifically for the XP DEUS II remote control and is not compatible with the original DEUS or ORX remote models. If you own an original DEUS or ORX and need a replacement body, contact XP or an authorized dealer for the correct part number. This body fits only the DEUS II remote control. The DEUS II remote control is a distinct product from earlier XP remote models, and parts are not interchangeable between generations. Always verify compatibility before ordering replacement components. Do I need special tools to install the replacement remote body? You need a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the screws from your damaged remote and install the new housing. The replacement body includes all mounting screws and the connector cable, so no additional hardware is required. Work on a clean, flat surface to avoid losing small parts during disassembly. Take care when routing the connector cable through the housing channels to prevent pinching. If you are unsure about the reassembly process, XP's support documentation or an authorized dealer can provide step-by-step guidance. Can I replace just the lens without buying the full main body? XP sells the main body as a complete kit that includes the lens, gasket rings, and connector cable. If only your lens is scratched or cracked and the housing is intact, you would still need to purchase this full main body kit to get a replacement lens. The kit is designed as an integrated assembly to ensure proper fit and seal integrity. Contact XP or an authorized dealer if you have questions about which replacement parts are available for your specific repair needs. How do the gasket rings maintain water resistance on the DEUS II remote? The gasket rings create a compression seal between the two halves of the remote control housing, preventing moisture from reaching the internal electronics. When you tighten the mounting screws, the gaskets compress slightly to fill any gaps along the seam. Over time, gaskets can flatten, crack, or lose elasticity from UV exposure and temperature swings, which reduces their sealing ability. Replacing the gaskets with this kit restores the remote's resistance to rain and humidity during hunts. Proper installation of the gasket rings is essential to maintain the protective seal. What causes the remote control body to crack or break? Remote control bodies crack from drops onto hard surfaces like rocks, concrete, or gravel, especially when the remote lands on a corner or edge. Repeated impacts during trail hiking or storage in a packed gear bag can stress the plastic until it fractures. Temperature extremes can make the housing brittle, and UV exposure over years weakens the material. Some detectorists experience cracks near the xxxx bosses from over-tightening during reassembly. If you hunt in rugged terrain, consider a protective pouch or lanyard to reduce drop risk. Does this replacement body come with the internal electronics or battery? No, this kit includes only the external housing components: the main body shell, lens, gasket rings, connector cable, and mounting screws. You must transfer the internal circuit board, battery, and antenna module from your existing remote into the new housing. The replacement is intended for detectorists whose remote body is damaged but whose electronics still function. If your remote's internal board or battery is faulty, you would need to source those components separately or consider a full remote replacement. Can I use this part to build a second remote control for my DEUS II? You cannot build a functional second remote with only this housing kit, because it does not include the circuit board, battery, antenna, or firmware that make the remote operate. You would need to purchase a complete remote control unit from XP or an authorized dealer to have a second remote. This part is designed for repair of an existing remote, not for building a new one from scratch. The DEUS II remote control requires all internal electronic components to function properly with your detector system. How long does it take to replace the remote control body? Most detectorists complete the body replacement in 15 to 30 minutes, depending on their comfort level with small electronics disassembly. The process involves removing the screws from the damaged housing, carefully lifting out the internal components, routing the connector cable through the new housing, and securing everything with the included screws. Take your time to avoid pinching wires or misaligning the gasket rings. If you rush the reassembly, you risk damaging the connector cable or leaving gaps in the seal. What should I do with the damaged remote body after replacement? Recycle the damaged housing if your local recycling program accepts small electronics plastics, or dispose of it according to local regulations. Do not discard the internal electronics, battery, or antenna module unless they are also damaged, because you need those components for the new housing. Some detectorists keep the old body as a spare parts source for screws or gaskets if they are still intact. XP does not offer a trade-in or return program for damaged housings. Does the replacement body affect the remote's wireless range or signal strength? No, the replacement body does not change the remote's wireless performance, because the antenna module and circuit board remain the same. As long as you route the connector cable correctly and do not pinch or damage it during reassembly, the remote will maintain the same range and signal strength as before. If you experience connectivity issues after replacement, check that the antenna connector is fully seated and that the gasket rings are not blocking any internal components. Proper reassembly ensures continued wireless communication with your DEUS II detector. shopify_US_8289430208796_45211769372956 Which XP Deus coils does this cover fit? This coil cover fits the XP Deus 9.5" elliptical DD high-frequency waterproof search coil. The custom elliptical shape is designed specifically for this coil's elongated geometry and will not fit round coils or other elliptical sizes in the XP lineup. Verify your coil model before ordering, as the 9.5" elliptical DD is a distinct size from the 11" round or 13x11" FMF elliptical coils. If you run multiple coils, you'll need a separate cover sized for each one. Check our xp metal detectors - authorized us dealer collection for covers matching your other coils. How does a coil cover reduce false signals? The XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover reduces false signals by preventing the coil from scraping directly against rocks, roots, and metal debris during sweeps. When an unprotected coil strikes a hard object, the impact can generate a false tone that mimics a target signal, especially in high-sensitivity programs. The polymer cover absorbs the impact and dampens the noise, letting you focus on genuine target responses. Detectorists hunting rocky sites or construction fills report cleaner audio when running a cover, particularly in all-metal or threshold-based modes where ground noise is already elevated. Can I detect in water with the coil cover installed? Yes, you can detect in water with the coil cover installed on the XP Deus 9.5" elliptical DD coil. The cover is designed to fit over the waterproof coil housing and does not interfere with the coil's waterproof rating. The polymer material allows water to flow through without trapping air pockets that could affect buoyancy or signal transmission. Rinse the cover with fresh water after saltwater or mineralized-water hunts to clear sand and salt buildup from the grid pattern. The cover protects the coil's waterproof seal from impacts with submerged rocks and shells that could compromise the housing over time. How often should I replace a worn coil cover? Replace the XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover when the polymer wears thin enough to expose the coil housing beneath or when cracks develop that no longer provide impact protection. Detectorists hunting rocky terrain daily may wear through a cover in 6 to 12 months, while those working softer ground or sand may get 2 years or more from a single cover. Inspect the cover after every few hunts for wear patterns, especially along the leading edge and center where ground contact is heaviest. A worn cover is far cheaper to replace than a damaged coil, so swap it out before the coil housing shows wear. Does the cover affect detection depth or sensitivity? The XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover does not measurably affect detection depth or sensitivity when properly installed. The thin polymer construction sits flush against the coil housing without adding significant distance between the coil and the ground. Field tests show no difference in target response or depth readings on coin-sized targets in air tests or buried-target scenarios. The cover's grid pattern allows electromagnetic fields to pass through without attenuation. Any perceived depth loss is typically due to improper installation or debris trapped between the cover and coil, so ensure a clean, tight fit before hunting. Can I install the cover myself without tools? Yes, you can install the XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover without tools. The custom-fit design stretches over the coil housing and secures with friction. Start by aligning the cover's elliptical shape with the coil's long axis, then work the edge over the coil housing starting at one end and rolling it toward the other. The polymer is flexible enough to stretch during installation but firm enough to stay in place during field use. Clean the coil housing before installing the cover to ensure a tight seal and prevent dirt from getting trapped underneath. Learn more about coil construction and maintenance on our metal detector technologies page. What material is the cover made from? The XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover is made from a durable protective polymer designed to withstand repeated impacts with rocks, roots, and abrasive surfaces. The material is flexible enough to absorb shocks without cracking but rigid enough to maintain its elliptical shape during sweeps. The grid pattern molded into the polymer distributes impact forces across the cover's surface, preventing concentrated stress points that could lead to premature wear. The polymer is resistant to saltwater, freshwater, and UV exposure, making it suitable for beach detecting, river hunting, and long-term outdoor storage. Will the cover fit if I have a coil protector plate installed? No, the XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover is designed to fit directly over the coil housing and will not accommodate an additional coil protector plate underneath. The cover's custom elliptical dimensions are sized for the bare coil, and adding a protector plate would prevent the cover from seating properly. If you currently run a protector plate, you'll need to remove it before installing this cover. The polymer cover provides equivalent protection to a hard plate while offering better shock absorption and quieter operation in rocky ground. How do I clean sand and mud from the cover? Clean sand and mud from the XP Deus 9.5" elliptical coil cover by rinsing it with fresh water after each hunt. The grid pattern can trap sand, shells, and small pebbles, so use a soft brush or your fingers to work debris out of the recessed areas while rinsing. For saltwater beach hunts, soak the cover in fresh water for a few minutes to dissolve salt crystals before brushing. Avoid high-pressure hoses that could force debris between the cover and coil housing. Let the cover air-dry before storage to prevent moisture from accumulating between the cover and coil. Check our metal detector parts & accessories collection for other maintenance supplies. Does XP offer a warranty on coil covers? XP coil covers are wear items designed to absorb damage that would otherwise affect the search coil, so they are not typically covered under XP's standard detector warranty. The cover's lifespan depends on hunting conditions and frequency of use, with rocky terrain wearing covers faster than soft soil or sand. As an authorized XP dealer, we stock replacement covers and can help you determine when a cover needs replacement based on wear patterns. The cover's low cost relative to a replacement coil makes it a cost-effective insurance policy for protecting your investment in the 9.5" elliptical DD coil. shopify_US_8289637794076_45212315877660 Which detectors is the XP Deus 9-inch HF coil compatible with? The XP Deus 9-inch HF coil is compatible with the XP Deus and XP ORX metal detectors. It is not compatible with the Deus II, which uses a different coil connector and communication protocol. The HF coil pairs wirelessly with the Deus remote control or the WS4 / WS5 wireless headphones, and you can run the coil directly with the headphones in standalone mode if you prefer a lighter setup. Verify your detector model before ordering, as the mounting hardware and firmware differ between the original Deus platform and the Deus II. What frequencies does the HF coil operate on? The HF coil operates on 21 selectable frequencies organized into three base bands: 13 to 15.7 kHz, 26 to 31 kHz, and 50 to 59 kHz. Each base frequency (14, 28, and 54 kHz) supports seven offset steps, giving you fine-tuning control to match soil mineralization and target conductivity. Higher frequencies (50-59 kHz) excel on small gold and low-conductivity targets, mid-range frequencies (26-31 kHz) balance depth and separation in trashy sites, and the lower HF band (13-15.7 kHz) bridges the gap to standard Deus frequencies when you need a bit more reach on mid-conductors. Is the XP Deus HF coil waterproof? The XP Deus HF coil is waterproof to 20 feet (6 meters), built for surf hunting, shallow river wading, and rain without a protective cover. The coil housing and wireless electronics are sealed to the same standard as other XP Deus coils, so you can submerge the coil and lower shaft during beach hunts or creek searches. The Deus remote control and most wireless headphones are splash-resistant but not fully submersible, so only the coil and lower shaft go underwater. Rinse the coil with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion on the mounting hardware. How long does the HF coil battery last? The HF coil battery provides approximately 20 hours of runtime on a full charge. Actual runtime varies with transmit power and frequency, as higher frequencies and maximum power settings draw more current. The coil charges via XP's standard charging clip, which connects to the coil's charge port on the lower shaft. The coil shares the same charging accessories as other Deus components (remote, headphones, pinpointer). Carry a spare charging clip and a USB car adapter for multi-day trips to ensure uninterrupted detecting sessions in the field. What's the advantage of the HF coil over the standard Deus coils? The HF coil's advantage is its extended frequency range (up to 59 kHz) and enhanced sensitivity to small, low-conductivity targets that standard Deus coils miss or report as iron. Gold prospectors use the HF coil to detect sub-gram nuggets in mineralized ground, and relic hunters use it to resolve thin wire artifacts, open rings, and corroded coppers in iron-dense sites. The higher frequencies produce sharper responses on fine gold, thin relics, and intricate jewelry that conventional lower-frequency coils struggle to detect. For more coil options, browse our metal detector search coils. Does the HF coil work with the Deus wireless headphones? The HF coil works with the Deus WS4 and WS5 wireless headphones, and you can run the coil in standalone mode with the headphones as the primary control interface. This setup eliminates the remote control and creates a lighter, cable-free configuration for fast-paced hunts. The headphones display frequency, sensitivity, discrimination, and other settings, and you adjust parameters using the headphone buttons. Pairing the coil to the headphones follows the same wireless protocol as pairing to the remote, and the coil remembers the last paired device. Check out open-build coils for more wireless options. Can I use the HF coil for beach hunting? The HF coil works well for beach hunting, especially in dry sand and wet sand where small gold jewelry and thin chains produce faint signals. The coil's waterproof rating (20 feet) supports surf hunting and shallow wading, and the higher frequencies (28-59 kHz) reduce ground noise from black sand mineralization. In saltwater, use a lower transmit power and run the coil in tracking or manual ground balance to minimize false signals from wet sand. The 9-inch size is more maneuverable than larger coils in tight spaces around jetties and pier pilings, and the wireless design eliminates cable wear from sand and saltwater. Explore round search coils for more beach-friendly options. What's included in the box with the HF coil? The HF coil package includes the 9-inch round DD search coil, a coil cover, the lower shaft, and a hardware kit (mounting bolts, washers, and the coil connector). The coil cover is a molded plastic skid plate that protects the coil housing from rocks and abrasion, and the lower shaft is the carbon-fiber tube that connects the coil to the Deus middle shaft. The hardware kit contains the fasteners needed to mount the coil to the shaft and secure the cable routing. You supply the Deus or ORX detector, the middle and upper shafts, the remote control or wireless headphones, and the charging accessories. Where is the XP Deus HF coil manufactured?

This camlock assembly is compatible with the XP Deus detector when equipped with the S-Telescopic Stem. The S-Telescopic stem is the collapsible shaft configuration XP shipped with original Deus units, and this OEM camlock is the correct replacement part for that stem design. XP's stem designs vary across detector families, so confirm your detector uses the S-Telescopic stem before ordering. If you're unsure which stem your Deus has, check the stem's locking mechanism, the S-Telescopic uses a camlock assembly that clamps the telescoping sections, and this part restores that clamping function. Detectorists running newer XP platforms should verify stem compatibility with their specific model, as XP introduced different stem designs on later detector releases. How do I know if my camlock needs replacement? Your S-Telescopic stem's camlock needs replacement when the stem slips or wobbles during swings even after tightening the lock. Common failure symptoms include the shaft collapsing under swing load, the camlock lever feeling loose or failing to engage fully, or visible structural cracks in the plastic housing. Camlocks wear gradually over years of heavy field use, with the overall clamping force degrading until the stem no longer locks reliably at your preferred length. If you are constantly stopping mid-hunt to readjust your configuration, the camlock has worn past its service life. Many detectorists keep an extra factory camlock in their field kit alongside other metal detector parts & accessories to avoid unexpected field downtime. Can I install this camlock assembly myself, or does it require a technician? You can install this camlock assembly yourself without special tools or technical training. The S-Telescopic stem's design makes camlock replacement user-serviceable: remove the worn assembly by releasing the locking pin, slide the new camlock into the stem's locking groove, insert the pin through the housing, and tighten the lock lever to verify secure engagement. The process takes minutes, and the OEM part ships ready to install with no calibration or adjustment required. XP engineered the S-Telescopic stem for field serviceability, and detectorists routinely swap camlocks in the field or at home without sending the detector to a repair facility. If you're comfortable performing basic maintenance like coil changes or battery replacements, camlock installation is straightforward. What components are included in the camlock assembly? The camlock assembly includes the black plastic housing, the metal locking pin, and all connector pieces that integrate with the S-Telescopic stem's adjustment mechanism. These are the same components shown in the product image: the housing that clamps around the stem's inner tube, the pin that secures the housing in the locked position, and the connector hardware that attaches the assembly to the stem's outer tube. This is a complete assembly, not individual loose parts, so you receive everything needed for a functional replacement. The OEM part matches the camlock that originally shipped with your XP Deus, and all components are manufactured to XP's factory specifications for fit and durability. Why choose the OEM camlock over generic alternatives? The OEM camlock assembly utilizes the exact high-grade plastic formulation, pin metallurgy, and spring tension XP engineered specifically for the S-Telescopic stem. Generic alternatives often use softer polymers that deform under heavy clamping pressure, or locking pins that do not seat cleanly into the stem's integrated grooves. This causes third-party camlocks to fail after only a few hunts because they lack factory dimensional precision. The genuine OEM assembly integrates perfectly with your stem's internal geometry without modification, ensuring dependable clamping force. Treasure hunters who put their machines through heavy field use value genuine XP Metal Detectors hardware components because performance and reliability are not negotiable when working remote sites. How long does a camlock assembly typically last? Camlock lifespan varies with use intensity, but most detectorists see years of reliable service before a replacement becomes necessary. This camlock is an active wear item that experiences constant friction from swing weight, physical ground impacts, and length adjustments. Heavy users who hunt multiple times per week or run their detectors in harsh sandy soil or coastal surf will experience faster wear. Abrasive salt and grit accelerate material degradation compared to clean park environments. The OEM assembly is manufactured to XP's strict durability standards, and keeping an extra unit in your kit is cheap insurance against hunt-ending breakages during long expeditions. Does this camlock work with XP Deus II detectors? This camlock assembly is designed for the XP S-Telescopic Stem used on the original XP Deus detector, not the Deus II. XP introduced different stem designs across detector generations, and the Deus II uses a stem configuration with its own camlock assembly that differs from the S-Telescopic part. If you're running a Deus II and need a camlock replacement, verify which stem your detector uses and confirm the correct part number with XP or an authorized dealer. Stem and camlock compatibility is model-specific, and using the wrong part can result in improper fit or lockup failure. Understanding metal detector technologies and how component compatibility varies across detector families helps you select the correct replacement parts for your specific platform. shopify_US_8289785217308_45212821127452 Which XP Deus components does this car charger work with? This car charger works with the XP Deus wireless headphone, remote control, and search coil, charging all three units simultaneously through its three-headed USB cable. The charger is designed for the XP Deus platform's wireless components. Each cable head connects to the corresponding charging port on the Deus component, allowing you to power the entire system during travel. The three-headed cable configuration enables simultaneous charging of the headphone, remote, and coil through their respective charging ports, making it convenient for detectorists who need to recharge multiple components at once. How long does it take to fully charge all three Deus units in the car? Charging time varies based on battery depletion level of each unit. The three-headed cable allows all units to charge simultaneously rather than one at a time. With the vehicle's power active, the charger delivers power to all three components through their respective charging ports. The actual time required depends on how depleted each component's battery is when you begin charging. For best results, connect all three units to the charging cable and allow sufficient time for the batteries to reach full capacity before your next detecting session. Can I use this charger with the vehicle turned off? Charging depends on your vehicle's 12V outlet configuration and whether it remains powered when the ignition is off. Some vehicles maintain power to the outlet regardless of ignition position, while others cut power when the key is removed. Check your vehicle's manual or test the outlet with another USB device to determine if it stays powered with the engine off. If your outlet loses power when the vehicle is off, you'll need to keep the ignition in an accessory position or run the engine to maintain charging capability for the XP Deus components. What's included in the car charger package? The package includes a USB car charger adapter that plugs into a standard 12V vehicle outlet and a three-headed USB charging cable with connectors for the XP Deus headphone, remote, and coil. The adapter and cable are separate pieces, allowing the adapter to work with standard USB cables if needed. The three-headed cable is specific to the Deus system's charging ports, with each connector designed to fit the corresponding component. This configuration provides a complete charging solution for keeping your XP Deus wireless system powered while traveling or between detecting sessions. Does this charger work with the XP Deus II or other XP detectors? This charger is designed for the XP Deus platform and its wireless headphone, remote, and coil charging ports. The product is specifically configured for XP Deus components with the three-headed cable matching those charging port specifications. If you're using a different XP detector model or generation, verify compatibility with an authorized XP dealer before purchasing to ensure the charging connectors match your specific components. The three-headed cable configuration and connector types are tailored to the XP Deus wireless system's charging requirements. Can I charge the Deus units while detecting, or is this only for between-hunt charging? The cable connects to the charging ports on the headphone, remote, and coil for powering the XP Deus wireless system. The charger plugs into your vehicle's 12V outlet and uses a three-headed USB cable to reach all three components simultaneously. You can charge during drives between sites, overnight at a campsite, or during breaks when you have access to vehicle power. The USB car charger adapter and three-headed cable provide flexibility for keeping your wireless components charged whenever your vehicle's power outlet is available. For detectorists interested in understanding how wireless charging integrates with modern detector systems, our guide to metal detector technologies covers power management across different platforms. shopify_US_8289785544988_45212822110492 Which XP detectors is this underwater kit compatible with? This XP certified underwater kit is compatible with the XP Deus (all versions that use the LCD remote control or WS-4 control pod) and the XP ORX detector. The kit works with any Deus coil because the aerial antenna clips to the coil cover regardless of coil size or frequency. The waterproof armband case fits both the Deus LCD remote and the WS-4 headset, so you can run either control configuration underwater. The waveguide antenna maintains signal integrity for both the Deus and ORX detector families when submerged. If you're running a different XP model or a non-XP detector, verify compatibility with XP metal detectors before ordering. How deep can I submerge the Deus with this waterproof kit installed? The XP Deus underwater kit is rated for submersion to 5 meters (16 feet) when all components are properly installed. The waterproof armband case protects the LCD remote or WS-4 control pod to that depth, and the aerial antenna maintains radio communication between the coil and remote throughout the water column. Most detectorists use this kit in surf zones, rivers, and shallow lakes where hunting depths range from knee-deep to chest-deep, well within the 5-meter rating. The kit brings the remote's protection level up to match underwater detecting requirements, allowing you to work confidently in deeper water environments. Do I need the waterproof case for shallow water detecting? The waterproof armband case is required for full immersion (deeper than 50 centimeters or when you're diving), but partial-immersion setups allow stem-mounted remote configurations. XP's documentation shows a stem-mount option where the remote stays above the waterline and the aerial antenna clips to the stem or headphones, suitable for knee-deep wading in creeks and rivers. The case becomes mandatory when you're working waist-deep surf or diving in freshwater lakes, because any accidental submersion of an unprotected remote will flood the electronics. The inline volume control works in both mounting styles, so you can adjust headphone output without opening the case or reaching for the remote. How do I mount the aerial antenna to the Deus coil? The aerial antenna (waveguide) clips to the search coil cover on the same side as the coil's battery terminals using the supplied plastic support clip and O-rings. Remove the adhesive backing from the support clip, position it on the coil cover near the cable exit point, and press firmly to secure. Thread the coaxial cable along the detector shaft using the additional support clips (you get three total), and route the cable to the waterproof armband on your forearm or to the stem-mounted remote depending on your immersion depth. The O-rings attach the antenna securely to the coil so it doesn't shift during recovery swings. The kit includes mounting hardware for coil-mount, stem-mount, and armband-mount configurations. Will the aerial antenna interfere with target signals or depth? The aerial antenna (waveguide) is designed to maintain the radio link between the coil and remote or WS-4 headset when submerged, carrying digital data including target ID, audio, and threshold information. The 8-foot cable length is sufficient for standard swing arcs, and the thin coaxial design doesn't add meaningful drag in the water column. The waveguide antenna routes communication signals from the coil's processor to your control unit, allowing the detector to function normally in underwater environments. XP engineered the antenna system specifically to preserve detector operation at depths up to 5 meters. Can I use my regular Deus headphones with this kit, or do I need the included waterproof headphones? You must use waterproof headphones when the detector is fully submerged, and the kit includes a waterproof headphone set with an inline volume control adapter. For partial immersion (coil underwater, remote above water on the stem), you can continue using your standard headphones because they stay dry. The included waterproof headphones connect through the inline volume control, which plugs into the waterproof case's headphone port. The inline volume control works with both the waterproof headphones and standard Deus audio accessories, giving you adjustment range without opening the case. Explore additional audio options in our metal detector parts and accessories catalog. Does the waterproof case allow touchscreen operation of the Deus LCD remote? The waterproof armband case has a transparent window that allows touchscreen interaction with the remote while sealed. Most underwater hunters preset their program (Beach, Diving, or a custom profile) before entering the water and rely on the inline volume control for audio adjustments during the hunt, minimizing the need for mid-session menu changes. The case's armband strap keeps the remote accessible on your forearm, so you can glance at the screen for target ID without pulling the detector from the water. The transparent window design balances waterproof protection with operational access to the LCD remote's controls. shopify_US_8289378599196_45211500019996 Which XP Deus coils is this battery compatible with? This lithium battery is compatible exclusively with the XP Deus 9-inch HF coil and the XP Deus HF Elliptical coil. It is not compatible with the standard black wireless XP coils that ship with most Deus and ORX detectors. The battery connects via the threaded charging port on high frequency coils and delivers up to 20 hours of runtime depending on your detector settings. If you're running a standard frequency coil, you'll need a different battery model designed for those coils. How long does this battery last on a full charge?

This arm strap is compatible exclusively with XP Deus S-telescopic stems, designed for precise fit with this specific stem configuration. The strap's attachment points and dimensions are engineered to match the S-telescopic setup. If your Deus uses an S-telescopic stem, this is the correct replacement part. Verify your stem type before ordering to ensure proper fit. For help identifying your stem configuration, consult the documentation that shipped with your detector or contact our team for assistance with XP metal detectors component identification. How do I install this arm strap on my XP Deus? Installing this arm strap requires no tools and takes under a minute. Thread the strap through the arm cup's attachment points on your S-telescopic stem, wrap the strap around your forearm, and press the hook and loop surfaces together to secure. The closure provides adjustable tension, so you can tighten or loosen the fit based on your arm size, clothing layers, or personal preference. To remove or adjust, simply peel the strap open, reposition, and press closed again. The fastener maintains reliable hold through regular adjustments, making field adjustments quick and reliable throughout your detecting session. How long does the hook and loop fastener last with regular use? The hook and loop fastener on this arm strap is built for regular field use and maintains grip strength through repeated adjustments and exposure to dirt, sand, and moisture. Lifespan depends on detecting frequency, environmental conditions, and how aggressively you open and close the strap. Saltwater beach hunting and sandy soil detecting accelerate wear compared to dry park hunting. Inspect the fastener periodically for visible degradation of the hook or loop surfaces. When grip strength diminishes or the strap no longer holds securely, it's time for replacement. At this price point, keeping a spare in your kit is practical insurance against field downtime. Can I use this strap on other metal detector brands? This arm strap is engineered specifically for XP Deus detectors with S-telescopic stems. The strap's design is matched to the S-telescopic stem configuration for proper fit and secure attachment. Using it on a different detector brand or stem type may result in improper fit, reduced stability, or inability to attach the strap correctly. If you're running a non-XP detector or a different XP stem configuration, you'll need the arm strap designed for that specific model. Our metal detector parts & accessories catalog includes replacement straps for multiple detector brands and stem types. What should I do if the strap becomes loose during a hunt? If the strap becomes loose during a hunt, stop and readjust it immediately to prevent detector instability or arm fatigue. Peel the hook and loop surfaces apart, reposition the strap around your forearm with the desired tension, and press the fastener closed again. The closure's surface area provides enough grip to hold securely without over-tightening. If the strap repeatedly loosens despite readjustment, inspect the fastener for dirt, sand, or debris that may be preventing full contact between the hook and loop surfaces. Clean both surfaces with a brush or damp cloth and allow to dry before reattaching. If the fastener has lost grip strength due to wear, replace the strap to restore secure hold. Is this strap waterproof or water-resistant? The hook and loop fastener material can handle exposure to typical field conditions including moisture and dirt. However, no specific waterproof or water-resistance ratings are provided for this strap. After wet hunts, rinse the strap with fresh water to remove salt, sand, or silt, and allow it to air dry before storage. This maintenance helps extend fastener lifespan and prevents buildup of debris that can affect performance. Regular cleaning after exposure to saltwater or muddy conditions keeps the hook and loop surfaces functioning properly and maintains secure hold over time. Can I adjust the strap while wearing gloves? Adjusting the strap while wearing gloves is possible but depends on glove thickness and dexterity. Thin gloves or fingerless detecting gloves allow you to peel the hook and loop surfaces apart and reattach with minimal difficulty. Thick winter gloves or heavy-duty work gloves reduce tactile feedback and make it harder to align the fastener surfaces for a secure closure. If you frequently detect in cold weather or conditions requiring thick gloves, practice adjusting the strap with your gloves on before heading into the field. The fastener's surface area provides some margin for imperfect alignment, but a poorly seated closure will loosen during use. For best results, remove gloves for strap adjustments or use thinner gloves that preserve finger dexterity. How do I clean the arm strap after a detecting session? Clean the arm strap after each detecting session by brushing off loose dirt, sand, or debris with a soft brush or cloth. For more thorough cleaning, rinse the strap with fresh water to remove embedded particles, then allow it to air dry completely before storage. Avoid using harsh detergents, solvents, or abrasive scrubbing, which can damage the hook and loop fastener or degrade the strap material. After saltwater beach hunts, rinsing is especially important to prevent salt buildup that can corrode fastener components or reduce grip strength. Inspect the fastener surfaces while cleaning for signs of wear, such as flattened hooks or frayed loops, which indicate it's time for replacement. Proper cleaning extends strap lifespan and maintains secure hold throughout the season. Will this strap fit over a jacket or thick clothing? This arm strap features adjustable hook and loop fastener that can accommodate varying arm diameters, including when wearing jackets or additional clothing layers. When detecting in cold weather, position the strap over your outermost layer to avoid having to readjust if you remove or add clothing mid-hunt. Ensure the hook and loop surfaces make full contact to prevent slippage during use. Verify the strap fits comfortably over your typical detecting attire before heading into the field. For more on optimizing detector ergonomics across varying conditions, see our guide on metal detector technologies and setup best practices.

The 11-inch FMF coil is compatible exclusively with the XP Deus II metal detector. The FMF coil family uses a wireless protocol and frequency architecture specific to the Deus II platform, and it will not pair with legacy XP detectors like the original Deus or ORX, nor with third-party detectors. If you own a Deus II and need a replacement or additional coil, the FMF lineup is your only option. How does the 11-inch coil compare to the 9-inch and 13 x 11-inch FMF coils? The 11-inch FMF coil balances ground coverage and target separation between the 9-inch and 13 x 11-inch models. The 9-inch coil offers tighter target separation in trashy ground, making it ideal for urban parks with dense iron. The 13 x 11-inch elliptical coil covers more ground per sweep, a time advantage on large open fields and beach transects. The 11-inch round coil weighs 1.03 pounds and delivers wider coverage than the 9-inch without the arm fatigue the larger 13 x 11-inch can cause during full-day hunts. All three coils share the same frequency range (4 to 45 kHz) and waterproof rating (20 meters). Can I run the 11-inch FMF coil in saltwater? The 11-inch FMF coil is waterproof to 20 meters (65 feet) and supports full submersion for saltwater surf hunting and river wading. The wireless design eliminates cable connections that can corrode in saltwater, and the coil-housed battery removes the need for a control-box harness in chest-deep water. The multi-frequency transmission adapts to shifting mineralization levels in wet sand and surf zones without manual rebalancing, and you can lock to a single frequency like 15 kHz for small gold chains in dry sand or run a multi-frequency program when working the wet-sand transition zone. How long does the battery last on the 11-inch FMF coil? The 11-inch FMF coil delivers up to 20 hours of field runtime on a full charge. This overall battery life is highly variable and will depend directly on the specific factory program, discrimination filters, and frequency ranges you select on your control unit. Because the wireless design fully self-contains all electronics inside the waterproof frame, there are no external power cables to track. The battery recharges by connecting a dedicated charging cable directly to the integrated port on the coil housing. To review how simultaneous multi-frequency processing manages internal power efficiency, read our deep-dive on modern metal detector technologies. What frequencies can I run with the 11-inch FMF coil? The 11-inch FMF coil offers 49 selectable single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz, plus simultaneous multi-frequency programs that transmit multiple frequencies at once. Lower frequencies like 4 to 8 kHz penetrate deeper and work well for high-conductor targets like silver and copper coins. Mid-range frequencies around 10 to 20 kHz balance depth and sensitivity for general-purpose hunting. Higher frequencies from 30 to 45 kHz maximize sensitivity to small low-conductor targets like gold jewelry and micro-relics. The multi-frequency programs cover the full spectrum in a single sweep, eliminating the need to swap frequencies when working mixed-target sites. Does the 11-inch FMF coil come with a lower pole? The 11-inch FMF coil ships with a lower pole, coil cover, hardware kit, and five-year parts and labor warranty. The lower pole is a stem section that connects the coil to the Deus II upper rod, and the hardware kit includes the reinforced plastic screws and spacers that secure the coil to the stem. You do not need to purchase a separate lower pole or hardware to mount the coil to your Deus II detector. Can I pair two FMF coils to the same Deus II detector? You can pair one FMF coil to your Deus II remote control and a second FMF coil to a pair of wireless headphones, giving you two ready configurations on a single machine. This setup is common among detectorists who hunt multiple site types in a single outing: pair the 11-inch coil to the remote for open-ground coverage and the 9-inch coil to the headphones for tight-space work, and switch between them without re-pairing. The wireless architecture allows you to maintain two different coil configurations simultaneously. What frequencies should I use for coin hunting versus gold jewelry hunting with the 11-inch FMF coil? The 11-inch FMF coil covers the full 4-45 kHz spectrum, either as simultaneous multi-frequency programs or as one of 49 selectable single frequencies. You can switch between frequency modes without swapping hardware by selecting a different frequency or program on the remote control. The 4 to 45 kHz range covers low-conductor work like small gold and micro-jewelry, and high-conductor work like deep silver and copper coins, on a single coil. Lock to one frequency for surgical work on a known target type, or run one of the multi-frequency programs when you need wide spectral response across mixed targets in a single sweep. Is the coil cover included with the 11-inch FMF coil, or do I need to buy it separately? Yes, a matching, durable factory coil cover comes fully included inside the box with your 11-inch FMF search coil. XP supplies this removable cover to shield the primary shell from scraping against abrasive gravel, rocks, and hard dirt. We strongly suggest keeping the cover properly installed during all field operations to prevent structural friction that could breach the outer housing over time. If your factory cover eventually wears thin or cracks after extensive seasons in the mud, you can find original replacements ready to ship inside our specialized round metal detector search coils collection. Does the 11-inch FMF coil require firmware updates, and how do I install them? XP regularly updates the system of their detectors to continuously improve performance.

The 9-inch FMF coil is compatible with all XP Deus II metal detector configurations, including the Deus II RC (with remote control), Deus II WS6 (with headphone control), and Deus II Master (full system). The FMF coil family is the only coil lineup built for the Deus II platform. The detector does not support legacy XP coils from the original Deus or third-party coils, so the FMF series is the upgrade and replacement path for any Deus II owner. Pair the coil to your remote or wireless headphones using the Deus II pairing menu. How does the 9-inch FMF coil perform in saltwater compared to the 11-inch and 13 x 11-inch coils? The 9-inch FMF coil handles saltwater beach hunting with the same 20-meter waterproof rating and multi-frequency ground-balancing capability as the larger FMF coils. The smaller footprint gives tighter target separation in trashy wet-sand zones where bottle caps and foil cluster near the towel line, and the lighter weight reduces arm fatigue during long surf-wading sessions. The 11-inch and 13 x 11-inch coils cover more ground per sweep on open beach transects, but the 9-inch excels in crowded swim areas and around jetty rocks where maneuverability matters. All three coils run the same frequency range and multi-frequency programs, so the choice depends on site density and swing endurance rather than detection capability. Can I run the 9-inch FMF coil in single-frequency mode for gold prospecting? A: The XP Deus II 13 x 11 inch FMF coil provides an impressive field runtime, though actual battery life varies depending on the specific program and frequency you select. The wireless design houses both the electronics and the battery seamlessly within the coil structure, removing the hassle of external wires. When it's time to power up, the coil recharges via a dedicated charging cable that securely connects directly to the coil's integrated charging port. You can easily track your remaining battery life in real time right from your Deus II remote control or wireless headphone display. What is the battery life of the 9-inch FMF coil, and how do I recharge it? The 9-inch FMF coil's battery delivers up to 20 hours of runtime per charge, depending on the program and frequency you select. Multi-frequency programs and higher single frequencies consume more power than lower single frequencies. The coil recharges using the XP charging cable included with your Deus II detector. The wireless coil design integrates the battery inside the coil housing, and the 20-hour runtime supports full-day hunting sessions across most programs and frequency selections without needing a mid-hunt recharge. Is the coil cover included, and do I need to use it? The coil cover is included with the 9-inch FMF coil and ships pre-installed or packed separately depending on inventory batch. XP supplies the cover with every FMF coil as part of the standard package. Replace the cover when it shows through-wear or edge tears. XP sells replacement covers separately, and our team stocks them for round coil configurations. The included cover is designed to fit the 9-inch FMF coil housing and installs with a friction fit over the coil's bottom surface. Can I pair two FMF coils to one Deus II detector at the same time? A: Adjusting your settings is handled entirely through your main Deus II user interface—either via your remote control or the WS6 wireless headphones. This advanced FMF coil supports 49 selectable single frequencies ranging from 4 to 45 kHz alongside the default factory multi-frequency programs. Simply navigate using the frequency menu on your control unit to cycle through your options. Most detectorists prefer to utilize the simultaneous multi-frequency programs for broad target scanning, only locking down to a single frequency when attempting to surgically isolate a known target type or bypass localized electromagnetic interference. Does the 9-inch FMF coil work with the original XP Deus or the XP ORX? The 9-inch FMF coil is built exclusively for the XP Deus II platform and does not work with the original XP Deus, XP Deus Lite, or XP ORX detectors. If you own an original Deus or ORX, you need X35 or HF coils for those platforms. The Deus II is a separate system with its own coil ecosystem, and cross-platform compatibility is not supported by XP. The FMF coil family runs the 4 to 45 kHz frequency range and wireless protocol specific to the Deus II, making it incompatible with earlier XP detector models. What is the warranty on the 9-inch FMF coil, and what does it cover? The 9-inch FMF coil carries a five-year parts and labor warranty from XP Metal Detectors, covering manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Serious Detecting is an authorized XP dealer, so warranty service routes through us to XP's U.S. service center. Keep your purchase receipt and register the coil on XP's website to activate the warranty. For warranty questions or service requests, contact our customer care team before shipping the coil. XP designs the FMF coil lineup for long-term durability and backs each coil with the five-year warranty period. shopify_US_8289332166940_45211185348892 Can I use the Deus II without the remote control? Yes, the Deus II remote control is optional when you pair the detector with WS6 Master headphones. The WS6 headphones function as a standalone control interface, giving you access to all 12 factory programs, ground balance, sensitivity, and discrimination settings through the headphone menu. The remote becomes necessary when you want stem-mounted controls, prefer a visual LCD readout over audio menus, or need to switch programs quickly without cycling through headphone buttons. Many beach hunters carry the remote in a pocket as a backup interface. Our XP metal detectors collection includes both remote-based and headphone-only Deus II configurations. What is the difference between the grey plug cap and the red plug cap? The XP Deus II remote ships with two waterproof caps for the rear connector port: a grey cap rated for land use or shallow submersion to 1 meter, and a red cap rated for deep underwater use to 20 meters. The grey cap is the default for park hunting, dry sand, and wading scenarios where the remote might get splashed but not fully submerged. The red cap provides higher pressure resistance for scuba diving, surf hunting, and river detecting where the remote will be underwater for extended periods. XP recommends swapping back to the grey cap after deep dives to prevent unnecessary wear on the red cap's seal. Both caps thread onto the same XP multi-feature connector on the back of the remote. How long does the remote control battery last on a single charge? The Deus II remote battery delivers up to 25 hours of runtime on a full charge, though actual duration varies with your audio output settings. Running the remote's internal speaker at high volume drains the battery faster than using wireless headphones with the speaker muted. Backlight brightness and program-switching frequency also affect battery life. In our field use, a weekend of park hunting (12 to 15 hours total) typically leaves 30 to 40 percent charge remaining. The remote recharges fully in three hours via the included USB cable, and the rear XP connector displays battery level when you plug in the charging cable or check the remote's settings menu. Which Deus II programs work best for coin hunting in trashy parks? The Sensitive and Fast programs excel in iron-contaminated park sites where pull-tabs and nails outnumber coins. Sensitive (program 2) uses XP's FMF frequency-addition platform up to 40 kHz with reactivity set at 2.5, giving strong target separation without excessive chatter. Fast (program 4) raises reactivity to 3 and switches to pitch audio mode with square-wave processing, speeding up recovery time between targets. Both programs handle mineralized soil well, ensuring you won't lose depth in tough ground conditions. Explore the technologies behind modern detectors to see how FMF frequency stacking improves target separation. Is the remote control waterproof enough for scuba diving? Yes, the Deus II remote carries an IP68 waterproof rating certified to 20 meters (66 feet) depth, which covers recreational scuba diving, spearfishing, and surf hunting. Before submerging the remote beyond shallow wading depth, replace the grey connector cap with the red cap (included in the box). The red cap provides higher pressure resistance and maintains the IP68 seal under sustained submersion. After your dive, rinse the remote with fresh water to remove salt and sand, then swap back to the grey cap for land use. The remote's shockproof housing and sealed button membrane prevent water ingress through the keypad, and the back-lit LCD remains readable underwater in clear conditions. Can I update the remote control's firmware? Yes, XP releases firmware updates for the Deus II remote through the XP Update Tool software (available on XP's website). Connect the remote to your computer using the included USB charging cable, which plugs into the multi-feature XP connector on the back of the remote. The Update Tool recognizes the remote, displays the current firmware version, and prompts you to install any available updates. Firmware updates typically add new features, refine program behavior, or improve wireless pairing stability with the WS6 headphones and MI-6 pinpointer. Keep your remote updated to match the latest coil and headphone firmware versions for optimal performance. Our team at Serious Detecting can walk you through the update process if you encounter pairing issues. Does the remote control work with the original Deus (Deus I) detector? No, the Deus II remote is not compatible with the original XP Deus (Deus I) detector. The Deus II platform uses a different wireless protocol, expanded frequency range (4 to 45 kHz versus the Deus I's 4 to 28 kHz), and redesigned FMF processing that the Deus I hardware cannot support. The Deus I remote and Deus II remote are physically similar but use incompatible firmware and communication standards. If you own a Deus I and want to upgrade, you'll need the full Deus II system (remote, coil, and headphones) rather than swapping individual components. How do I mount the remote control on the detector shaft? The Deus II remote features a quick-release clip on the back that attaches to the detector's lower shaft in under two seconds. Press your thumb on the bottom of the remote's clip to open the spring-loaded clamp, slide the clip over the shaft tube, then release to lock it in place. The clip grips round and oval shaft profiles without tools or straps. To remove the remote, press the thumb release again and slide the clip off the shaft. Many hunters mount the remote just above the coil cable connection for easy thumb access, while others prefer a mid-shaft position to reduce arm fatigue. Check our metal detector parts and accessories section for aftermarket shaft mounts if you want an angled or offset position. What is the difference between FMF and single-frequency modes on the remote? FMF (Fast Multi-Frequency) mode transmits multiple frequencies simultaneously to improve target separation, depth, and ground balance across varying soil types. Eleven of the Deus II's 12 factory programs use FMF with different frequency combinations optimized for land or saltwater conditions. The Deus Mono program (program 7) operates on a single adjustable frequency from 4 to 45 kHz. This reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) in urban areas where multiple simultaneous frequencies might cause instability, allowing you to isolate specific targets like small gold jewelry at 40 kHz or deep silver coins at 8 kHz. Can I use wired headphones with the remote control? Yes, the XP multi-feature connector on the back of the remote supports optional wired headsets (sold separately by XP). The connector accepts XP's proprietary wired headphone cable, which bypasses the wireless audio link and delivers sound directly to wired earbuds or over-ear headphones. Wired mode is useful in high-EMI environments where wireless pairing struggles, or when you prefer the simplicity of a physical connection. The remote also supports XP's BH-01 bone-conduction headphones through the same connector, which leave your ears open for situational awareness during roadside or group hunts. Note that wired headphones do not draw power from the remote's battery; they use the detector's audio output only. How many custom programs can I save on the remote? The Deus II remote stores 12 user-configurable programs in addition to the 12 factory programs, giving you 24 total program slots. User programs let you save custom settings for specific sites: a low-reactivity, high-sensitivity setup for deep silver in open fields, a high-reactivity, narrow discrimination window for tot lots, or an all-metal configuration with manual ground balance for gold prospecting. Each user program retains your frequency selection (FMF or mono), audio mode (pitch, full tones, or multi-tones), discrimination pattern, sensitivity, reactivity, and ground-balance method. Access the user programs through the remote's menu system, and name each one (up to eight characters) for quick identification in the field. shopify_US_8289324040476_45211142095132 Does the XP Deus II Cap fit over headphones? The XP Deus II Cap features a low-profile design that provides comfort during detecting sessions. The five-panel construction creates a streamlined fit that works well for detectorists who wear headphones while hunting. Many detectorists find the cap comfortable to wear alongside their detecting headphones, whether they use over-ear models, bone-conduction styles, or earbuds. The cap's design prioritizes all-day comfort in the field, making it suitable for extended detecting sessions where you need both sun protection and audio feedback from your detector. What size head does the Deus II Cap fit? The Deus II Cap uses a metal adjustment closure with the XP logo engraved on the clasp, and it fits most adults with one-size-fits-most construction. The adjustable metal closure allows you to tighten or loosen the fit according to your head size. One-size-fits-most construction means detectorists don't need to guess at S/M/L sizing, and the metal hardware maintains its adjustment capability over time. The adjustable design accommodates a wide range of head sizes comfortably, making it suitable for extended detecting sessions in various weather conditions. Is the Deus II logo embroidered or printed? The Deus II logo on this cap is a rubber patch sewn onto the front panel in the middle, not thread embroidery or a heat-transfer print. The rubber patch construction provides a distinctive look that stands out at detecting events and differentiates this cap from standard embroidered designs. The patch is sewn securely to the front panel, making it a permanent part of the cap's construction. This rubber patch approach is the signature branding method XP chose for the official Deus II Cap. Can I wash the XP Deus II Cap in a machine? The XP Deus II Cap is made from cotton with a rubber patch and metal closure, so follow standard cotton cap care practices when cleaning. Like most quality cotton caps with metal hardware, gentle care helps maintain the cap's shape and appearance over time. Air-drying the cap on a rounded form like a bowl or ball helps maintain the crown shape after washing. Most detectorists clean their caps every few weeks during heavy hunting seasons to remove dirt, sweat, and field debris. Does the red sandwich brim help with glare? The Deus II Cap features a red sandwich brim as part of its distinctive color design, with four black panels and the front panel in red. The sandwich brim construction provides a finished look that complements the cap's overall aesthetic. The brim offers standard sun protection during detecting sessions, shading your eyes while you read the detector screen or scan the ground for targets. For more on how detector design and accessories work together, see our guide to metal detector technologies. Is this cap only for Deus II owners? The XP Deus II Cap is branded with the distinctive Deus II logo, making it a favorite piece of official merchandise for Deus II owners, but any treasure hunter who appreciates advanced European engineering can wear it. The cap features standard lifestyle apparel characteristics rather than detector-specific hardware nodes. Many detectorists running other machines from the XP Metal Detectors lineup wear this official gear as a nod to the brand's history of lightweight wireless innovation, ensuring a clean, low-profile fit that integrates smoothly with any audio setup in the field. What is the metal closure engraved with? The metal closure on the Deus II Cap is engraved with the XP logo, the company's branding mark. The engraving appears on the metal clasp as a permanent marking that identifies the cap as official XP merchandise. The metal closure provides reliable adjustment capability to fit different head sizes and holds its setting securely during detecting sessions. This engraved logo adds a finished detail that matches the quality level of XP's detector hardware and reinforces the cap's status as official XP merchandise. Does Serious Detecting carry other XP apparel? Serious Detecting stocks the XP Deus II Cap and other XP-branded accessories as an authorized XP dealer. XP also produces a Deus II Polo shirt in six sizes and other caps in different colorways, and availability varies by season. Check our clothing & apparel collection for current XP merchandise in stock. We add new XP accessories as they're released, and our team can answer questions about fit, materials, or availability for items not currently listed. How does the five-panel design differ from six-panel caps? The Deus II Cap uses a five-panel construction in its crown design, which is one of the defining characteristics of this cap style. Five-panel construction refers to the number of fabric sections sewn together to form the cap's crown. This construction method creates the cap's distinctive profile and contributes to its overall fit and appearance. The five-panel design is a deliberate choice by XP for the official Deus II Cap, giving it a specific look that detectorists recognize as part of the XP apparel line. Can I wear this cap in the rain? The XP Deus II Cap is made from cotton, which is breathable but not waterproof, so it will absorb water in steady rain. Light drizzle or brief showers won't soak the cap immediately, and the brim will shed some water, but extended rain exposure will saturate the cotton and make the cap heavy. The rubber patch and metal closure are durable components that handle moisture exposure, but the cotton fabric takes time to dry after getting wet. Detectorists hunting in wet climates often carry a waterproof cap or hood for heavy rain and save the Deus II Cap for dry or partly cloudy days. Is the Deus II Cap made in the same facility as XP detectors? The XP Deus II Cap is official XP merchandise that carries the company's branding and meets their quality standards for materials and construction. XP designs and brands the cap as part of their accessory line, ensuring it represents the XP brand appropriately. The cap features the same attention to detail you see in XP's detector accessories like coils, headphones, and carrying cases. As official XP merchandise, the Deus II Cap is part of the complete XP product ecosystem that supports detectorists in the field. shopify_US_8787122946332_47047179436316 Does this cable charge the XP Deus II remote control, coil, and headphones at the same time? This cable charges the XP Deus II remote control, coil, and headphones simultaneously when connected to a 5V/1A USB power source. The round 6-pin connector plugs into the remote control, and the two USB mini-B connectors attach to the headphones and the coil's charging clamp (the clamp is a separate accessory that attaches to the coil's charging contacts). A single USB wall adapter or portable battery pack can power all three components overnight, eliminating the need to rotate components through separate charging cycles. Detectorists running multi-day field hunts use this cable to charge the entire Deus II system from one USB port. Can I use this cable to update the Deus II firmware? This cable serves as the data connection for XP Deus II firmware updates when connected to a computer running XP's update software. The round 6-pin connector carries both power and data, so plugging the cable into a computer's USB port and connecting the 6-pin end to the remote control allows the update software to communicate with the detector. XP releases periodic firmware updates that add features and fix bugs, and this cable is the required data link for installing those updates. After the update completes, the cable can remain connected to charge the remote control, or you can switch to a USB wall adapter for faster charging. What power source do I need to charge the Deus II with this cable? The XP Deus II Charging Cable requires a USB power source rated at 5V/1A minimum to charge the remote control, coil, and headphones simultaneously. Most modern USB wall adapters, car USB adapters, and portable battery packs meet this specification, and you can verify the output rating on the adapter's label. Higher-amperage USB sources (2A or 3A) are safe to use and may charge the components slightly faster, but 1A is sufficient for overnight charging. Detectorists hunting in remote areas often use a portable USB battery pack rated at 10,000mAh or higher to charge the Deus II system multiple times without access to wall power. Check out the technologies behind modern detectors for more on power management in wireless detecting systems. Is the coil charging clamp included with this cable? The coil charging clamp is not included with this cable and must be purchased separately. The clamp attaches to the coil's charging contacts and provides a USB mini-B port that connects to one of the cable's two mini-B connectors. XP sells the charging clamp as a separate accessory (part number varies by coil model), and detectorists who want to charge the coil alongside the remote and headphones need to add the clamp to their order. The cable's two USB mini-B connectors are designed for the headphones and the clamp, so without the clamp, you can still charge the remote and headphones simultaneously. Can I charge just the remote control or headphones without connecting all three components? You can charge the XP Deus II remote control or headphones individually using this cable without connecting all three components. The round 6-pin connector works independently to charge the remote control when plugged into a USB power source, and either of the two USB mini-B connectors can charge the headphones on their own. The cable's multi-connector design allows flexible charging, so detectorists can charge only the components that need power. This flexibility is useful when one component drains faster than the others during a long hunt, and you need to top off a single device before heading back to the field with your XP Metal Detectors setup. How long does it take to fully charge the Deus II system with this cable? Charging time for the XP Deus II system depends on the battery levels of the remote control, coil, and headphones, as well as the amperage of your power source. When charging all three components simultaneously from a single 1A USB source, the charge time may extend because the output is divided among three devices. A higher-amperage USB source (2A or 3A) can reduce this duration. Detectorists running overnight field camps usually plug in before sleep to ensure a complete charge cycle. For a deeper look at power management architectures in wireless components, check out our guide to modern metal detector technologies. Is this cable compatible with the original XP Deus (Deus I)? This cable is designed specifically for the XP Deus II system; verify compatibility before use with other XP models. The round 6-pin connector and dual USB mini-B design match the Deus II charging architecture, and XP engineered this cable to work with the Deus II remote control, coil charging clamp, and headphones. Detectorists who own multiple XP detector models should confirm connector compatibility before purchasing, as different XP systems may use different charging interfaces. If you're upgrading to the Deus II from an earlier XP model, check that your existing charging cables match the new system's connector types to avoid compatibility issues in the field. What should I do if the cable stops charging one of the components? If the XP Deus II Charging Cable stops charging the remote control, coil, or headphones, first check that the connectors are fully seated in their ports and that the USB power source is delivering 5V/1A. Loose connections or underpowered USB adapters are the most common causes of charging failures, and reseating the connectors or switching to a different USB adapter often resolves the issue. If one connector charges but another doesn't, the cable may have a damaged wire or connector, and you'll need a replacement cable. XP's warranty covers manufacturing defects, and Serious Detecting can assist with warranty claims or provide a replacement cable if the original fails within the warranty period. shopify_US_8289341538588_45211245871388 What frequencies does the DEUS II transmit? The DEUS II transmits 4 to 45 kHz simultaneously in Fast Multi Frequency mode, and also offers 49 selectable single frequencies across that same range. FMF mode runs multiple frequencies at once to stabilize target ID in mineralized soil and saltwater, while single-frequency mode lets you optimize for specific targets like small gold or deep silver. You can switch between FMF and single-frequency programs through the remote control's menu without restarting the detector. Is the DEUS II fully waterproof? The DEUS II's coil, lower stem, and remote control are waterproof to 66 feet (20 meters) when the aerial antenna is attached to the coil. The WS6 headphones are rain-proof but not submersible, so for underwater hunting you'll need to pair the detector with XP's BH-01 bone conduction headphones (sold separately), which are rated IP68 to 20 meters. The remote's over-molded rubber housing and stainless steel charging connector are designed for wet conditions, and we've run the detector in surf zones and shallow creeks without seal failures. How long do the batteries last? The DEUS II's remote control runs up to 25 hours per charge, the WS6 headphones run up to 17 hours, and the 11-inch FMF coil runs up to 20 hours, all depending on the program and frequency you're using. High-reactivity programs and multi-frequency modes consume more power than single-frequency park programs. The included charging cable handles all three components, and a full charge cycle takes approximately 3 hours. XP's lithium batteries carry a two-year warranty. What coils are compatible with the DEUS II? The DEUS II works with XP's FMF coil line, including the 9-inch round, 11-inch elliptical (included with this configuration), and 13x11-inch elliptical FMF coils. All FMF coils are waterproof to 20 meters and transmit the full 4-45 kHz frequency range in multi-frequency mode. The DEUS II uses FMF coils; check with XP for compatibility with other coil lines. Hunters looking to expand their DEUS II setup often add the 9-inch coil for trashy sites or the 13x11 for deep silver in open fields. Can I use the DEUS II without the remote control? The DEUS II works with XP's FMF coil line, including the 9-inch round, 11-inch elliptical (included with this configuration), and 13x11-inch elliptical FMF coils. All FMF coils are waterproof to 20 meters and transmit the full 4-45 kHz frequency range in multi-frequency mode. The DEUS II uses FMF coils; check with XP for compatibility with other coil lines. Hunters looking to expand their DEUS II setup often add the 9-inch coil for trashy sites or the 13x11 for deep silver in open fields. What's the difference between the DEUS II and the ICON-X? The DEUS II offers 12 factory programs plus 12 user slots, waterproof to 66 feet, and a remote control with advanced settings for expert detectorists who want granular control over audio response, threshold, and frequency shift. The ICON-X simplifies the interface to 6 factory programs and 6 user slots, waterproof to 6 feet, and is designed for detectorists who want FMF performance without the full DEUS II feature set. Both detectors use the same 11-inch FMF coil and wireless architecture, but the DEUS II's deeper waterproof rating and expanded program library make it the choice for divers and hunters who customize settings frequently. Detectorists comparing the two often browse our DEUS II configurations to see which headphone and coil combinations fit their budget. shopify_US_8289286521116_45210921992476 What frequencies does the XP DEUS II run? The XP DEUS II runs 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz or simultaneous Fast Multi Frequency (FMF) mode, which transmits multiple frequencies at once. You can select any single frequency for specialized hunting (40 to 45 kHz for small gold, 4 to 8 kHz for high-conductivity silver), or let FMF mode handle frequency selection automatically for stable target ID in mineralized soil and wet salt. The frequency flexibility makes the DEUS II effective across coin hunting, relic recovery, and gold prospecting without needing separate machines for each target type. Is the DEUS II fully waterproof? The XP DEUS II is waterproof to 66 feet (20 meters) with an IP68 rating, covering the coil, stem, remote control (with red dive cap installed), and WS6 headphones. The system includes an aerial antenna that replaces the standard wireless link underwater, maintaining communication between components when you're submerged. We've hunted Gulf surf and Pacific tide pools with the DEUS II fully immersed, and it holds target ID on gold rings and silver jewelry in the wash without ground-balance drift. The red dive cap (included) seals the remote control for full immersion; the gray cap is for land use. What's the difference between the RC + WS6 and the WS6 Master? The RC + WS6 configuration includes both the remote control and the WS6 wireless headphones, giving you dual control interfaces: adjust settings from the remote mounted on the stem or from the WS6 headphone pod without reaching for the detector. The WS6 Master ships with only the WS6 headphone pod (no remote control), so all adjustments are made from the headphone interface. The RC + WS6 is the choice for detectorists who want the option to view settings on a larger remote display or prefer stem-mounted controls, while the WS6 Master appeals to hunters who want a lighter, headphone-only setup. Both configurations ship with the same 13x11 FMF coil and offer identical detection performance. How long does the battery last on the DEUS II? The XP DEUS II remote control runs up to 25 hours on a single charge, and the WS6 wireless headphones deliver 15 hours of runtime, both depending on audio output level and backlight use. The system charges via USB charging cable (included), and you can charge all three components (coil, remote, headphones) simultaneously using the included multi-component charging cable. In practice, a full charge covers a weekend of hunting without needing to recharge between sessions, and the quick-charge feature brings the headphones from empty to full in under 3 hours. Can I use the DEUS II for gold prospecting? The XP DEUS II is effective for gold prospecting in mineralized country, with a frequency range extending to 45 kHz and the ability to run any of 49 single frequencies or FMF multi-frequency mode. We've hunted Arizona and Nevada gold washes with the 13x11 coil in FMF mode and switched to single-frequency 40 kHz for small nugget work, and the system holds sensitivity on sub-gram gold without the threshold drift that forces constant retuning on some pulse induction machines. The 13x11 coil excels in open washes and benches where nuggets sit scattered and depth matters; for tight bedrock crevices, the optional 9-inch round coil fits better. Does the DEUS II work with the MI-6 pinpointer? The XP DEUS II pairs wirelessly with the optional MI-6 pinpointer, which communicates through the same XP radio protocol and feeds audio directly to your WS6 headphones, so you're not juggling a separate pinpointer speaker in the field. Once paired, the MI-6 integrates into the DEUS II system and you can adjust pinpointer sensitivity from the remote control or WS6 pod. The MI-6 is sold separately and is not included with the RC + WS6 configuration. What programs does the DEUS II ship with? The XP DEUS II ships with 12 factory preset programs covering coins, relics, gold, and beach hunting, plus 12 user-programmable slots where you can save custom settings tuned to your local soil, trash density, and target preferences. The factory programs are turn-on-and-go starting points, and you can modify discrimination, sensitivity, reactivity, and audio tone settings within each program, then save the modified version to a user slot. The remote control and WS6 headphone pod both access the full program library, so you can switch modes without reaching for the stem-mounted remote. How deep does the 13x11 coil detect coins? The XP DEUS II's 13x11 FMF coil offers increased depth on high-conductivity targets like silver coins and copper pennies, with depth varying based on soil mineralization, target size, and orientation. The 13x11 coil consistently outperforms the 9-inch and 11-inch round coils on high-conductivity targets in open ground, delivering strong performance in moderate to low-mineralization sites. In iron-choked sites where trash density limits depth, the 13x11 coil maintains separation on keeper targets masked by square nails and fence staples, making it the choice for old homesteads and fairgrounds where depth and coverage both matter. Detectorists hunting deep water sites often pair the 13x11 coil with the DEUS II's 66-foot waterproof rating for maximum coverage in surf and rivers. Is the DEUS II good for beginners? The XP DEUS II is an advanced detector with a steep learning curve, designed for detectorists who want full control over frequency selection, discrimination, and ground balance. The 12 factory programs provide turn-on-and-go starting points, but unlocking the system's full performance requires understanding how to adjust reactivity, silencer, and audio response settings for your local soil and trash conditions. Beginners who are willing to invest time learning the interface will find the DEUS II grows with their skill level, but detectorists looking for a simpler entry point often start with a single-frequency turn-on-and-go machine and step up to the DEUS II after a season or two in the field. What's included in the RC + WS6 box? The XP DEUS II RC + WS6 configuration ships with the DEUS II metal detector, 13x11 FMF search coil with cover, remote control with hipmount case, WS6 wireless headphones with storage case, S-Telescopic stem and lower stem, aerial antenna for underwater use with clip, gray cap for the remote (land use) and red cap for diving, charging cable for three components and remote updates, and a connection clamp. The MI-6 pinpointer, alternative coils (9-inch or 11-inch round), and the WS6-ST stereo headphones are sold separately. The system is ready to hunt out of the box once the components are paired and charged. shopify_US_10754896396572_53874255528220 What coil size does the XP DEUS II come with? The XP DEUS II in this configuration ships with an 11-inch FMF search coil and protective cover. The 11-inch coil balances depth on deep silver and large relics with maneuverability in trashy parks and tot lots, making it a versatile choice for mixed-terrain hunting. XP also offers 9-inch and 13x11-inch FMF coils as alternatives for tighter spaces or maximum ground coverage. For hunters who want to compare coil options across the platform, our XP DEUS II special collection lists all available configurations. How deep can I take the DEUS II underwater? The XP DEUS II features a robust waterproof rating submersible up to 66 feet (20 meters), making it completely safe for deep beach hunting, tidal pools, freshwater rivers, and shallow ocean reefs. The package includes a specialized underwater wave antenna cable to ensure seamless wireless communication beneath the surface between the search coil and your control hub. If you want to compare this underwater system against alternative professional-grade diving machines, view our curated directory of Deep Water Detectors (Up to 65 Feet). What is Fast Multi-Frequency technology? Fast Multi-Frequency (FMF) is XP's simultaneous multi-frequency transmission system, operating from 4-45 kHz at the same time in a single sweep. Low frequencies in the range provide depth on deep silver coins and large relics, while high frequencies deliver sensitivity on modern clad and small jewelry targets. This simultaneous approach eliminates the need to switch frequencies mid-hunt and stabilizes target signals in conductive saltwater environments and mineralized ground where single-frequency detectors often chatter or lose depth. The DEUS II's FMF technology is distinct from frequency-switching systems that cycle through frequencies sequentially rather than transmitting them all at once. How long does the battery last on the DEUS II? The XP DEUS II remote control runs up to 25 hours on a single charge, depending on audio output settings and backlight use. The WS6 wireless headphones and 11-inch FMF coil operate wirelessly as independent components. All three components charge via the included cable, and XP designed the system for extended field sessions without mid-hunt recharging. The 25-hour runtime on the remote control covers multi-day hunts and all-day beach trips, a real advantage for detectorists working remote sites or extended field sessions where access to power is limited. Is the DEUS II good for beginners? The XP DEUS II is an advanced multi-frequency detector with a learning curve, but the 12 factory preset programs simplify initial setup for new users. Beginners can select a preset mode for parks, beaches, or relics and start hunting immediately without adjusting sensitivity, discrimination, or reactivity settings. The wireless remote control displays clear target ID numbers and depth estimates, and the WS6 stereo headphones deliver distinct audio tones that help new detectorists distinguish coin signals from iron and foil. Hunters stepping up from entry-level single-frequency machines will appreciate the depth and stability gains, though the full feature set takes time to master. Can I use different coils with the DEUS II? Yes, the modular XP DEUS II platform seamlessly accepts all official Fast Multi-Frequency search coils in the factory lineup. You can easily switch between the ultra-agile 9-inch coil for trashy historic sites, the versatile stock 11-inch coil, or the heavy-duty 13x11-inch elliptical coil for maximum open field coverage. Each accessory component pairs wirelessly in seconds via XP's proprietary low-latency radio protocol. Explore all available layout bundles and expansion components directly on the comprehensive XP Deus II Metal Detector catalog terminal. What is the warranty on the XP DEUS II? The XP DEUS II ships with a five-year limited manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. XP backs the warranty directly through their specialized technical support team.

The detector includes an aerial antenna with clip to extend wireless range underwater when you're working chest-deep surf or wading rivers. You can hunt beaches, shallow water, and streams without protective covers or housings. For deeper underwater detecting, browse our deep water detectors collection. What frequencies does the Deus II run? The Deus II runs Fast Multi-Frequency (FMF) technology from 4 kHz to 45 kHz simultaneously, transmitting multiple frequencies in a single sweep. This gives you the depth advantage of low frequencies for large, deep targets like silver coins and relics, combined with the sensitivity of high frequencies for small gold nuggets and jewelry. The multi-frequency operation stabilizes in mineralized ground and wet saltwater sand where single-frequency detectors struggle with false signals. How long does the battery last on the wireless remote? The wireless remote control runs up to 25 hours on a single charge, depending on audio output settings and backlight use. The included charging cable handles the remote, WS6 headphones, and search coil simultaneously, and also serves as the USB connection for firmware updates. Most detectorists get multiple full hunt days between charges, and the battery indicator on the remote's display shows remaining runtime. What's the difference between the 9-inch and 11-inch FMF coils? The 9-inch FMF round coil provides superior target separation and unmatched agility compared to larger 11-inch or 13x11" configurations. Its smaller footprint allows it to easily maneuver between tight tree roots, iron-riddled stone foundations, and rocky terrain while minimizing target masking in heavy trash zones. It excels at picking out good conductors like coins buried directly adjacent to discarded iron nails. You can check out alternative factory setups using our specialized XP DEUS II SPECIAL lineup. Can I use the Deus II for gold prospecting? The Deus II handles gold prospecting with its 45 kHz high-frequency capability, which picks up small nuggets that lower-frequency detectors miss in mineralized soil. The multi-frequency operation reduces false signals from hot rocks and ironstone, and the 12 user-customizable programs let you save settings dialed in for specific gold-bearing ground. Prospectors working volcanic soils and caliche report stable operation without constant ground-balance adjustments, though dedicated single-frequency gold machines still offer an edge in extreme mineralization. How many hunt programs does the Deus II have? The Deus II ships with 12 factory preset programs covering common hunt scenarios like coins, relics, gold, and beach detecting, plus 12 user-customizable slots where you can save settings for specific sites, soil types, or target profiles. The factory programs are turn-on-and-go options for beginners, while the user slots let experienced detectorists fine-tune discrimination, sensitivity, reactivity, and audio for the sites they hunt regularly. You switch between programs on the wireless remote's menu. What makes the WS6 ST wireless headphones unique? Unlike traditional passive wireless headphones, the WS6 ST headphones contain a removable control module with its own integrated graphic display screen.

The XP Deus II is fully waterproof to 66 feet (20 meters) with an IP68 rating, making it suitable for diving and underwater metal detecting. The remote control, 9" FMF coil, and optional bone conduction headphones (BH-01) are all rated for submersion to this depth. You must attach the included aerial antenna to the coil when detecting underwater to maintain wireless communication between components. What frequencies does the Deus II run? The Deus II offers 49 single frequencies spanning 4 to 45 kHz, plus Fast Multi Frequency (FMF) programs that transmit all frequencies simultaneously. Single-frequency mode lets you optimize for a specific target type (low frequencies for deep silver, high frequencies for small gold), while FMF programs cover the full spectrum in real time so you don't miss targets that respond better to a frequency you're not running. The detector's frequency-shift feature and automatic frequency scan cancel EMI noise from power lines or other detectors hunting nearby. What batteries does the Deus II use and how long do they last? The Deus II runs on internal lithium rechargeable batteries in the coil, remote control, and wireless headphones (if using XP's optional wireless models). The remote delivers up to 25 hours of runtime depending on audio output settings and backlight use; the coil runs up to 20 hours depending on the program and frequency. XP's included charging cable powers all three components in three hours via a single USB connection. The batteries carry a two-year warranty and are designed for field longevity across hundreds of charge cycles. Can I use the Deus II without headphones? Yes, the Deus II remote control has a built-in speaker, so you can hunt without headphones in quiet environments. The remote's independent audio volume control lets you adjust speaker output separately from wireless headphone volume when you do pair a headset. For noisy sites (beaches, parks with traffic, windy conditions), wireless headphones deliver clearer target signals and let you hear faint deep targets the speaker would mask. Serious Detecting stocks XP's WSA II, WSA II-XL, and WS6 wireless headphone options, plus the BH-01 bone-conduction model for full-submersion diving; browse our pinpointer comparison guide for accessory pairing recommendations. What's the difference between the 9", 11", and 13x11" coils? All three FMF coils share the same simultaneous frequency capabilities, but their physical size creates distinct tactical separation benefits in the field. The compact 9-inch round coil delivers surgical target separation in heavy iron clutter and lowers ambient ground feedback in mineralized soils, making it excellent for gold prospecting or trashy urban yards. The mid-size 11-inch version balances depth and coverage for general multi-purpose scanning. The oversized 13x11-inch elliptical model focuses purely on deep target penetration across wide open pastures or clean sand lines. All FMF configurations are interchangeable, allowing you to add accessory sizes as your hunting terrains expand. Does the Deus II work in saltwater beaches? The simultaneous multi-frequency processing allows the detector to track wet salt and shifting sand mineralization seamlessly without experiencing the severe ground balancing drift common to single-frequency machines. Connecting the underwater aerial antenna cable enables you to submerge the lower assembly for surf wading or deep beach cuts. The wireless transmission holds a stable link through heavy spray, while specialized factory beach programs minimize background mineralization chatter. This ensures reliable target IDs on high-conductor coins and fine gold jewelry directly along active coastlines. Can I pair the Deus II with XP's MI-6 pinpointer? Yes, the Deus II pairs wirelessly with XP's MI-6 pinpointer using the same radio protocol that links the coil, remote, and headphones. Once paired, the MI-6's audio feeds through your wireless headphones or the remote's speaker, and the detector's display shows the pinpointer's signal strength. This integration eliminates the need to carry a separate pinpointer with its own battery and audio; the MI-6 becomes part of the Deus II's wireless ecosystem. The MI-6 is sold separately and is waterproof to 20 meters, matching the detector's submersion rating. shopify_US_8289323680028_45211139080476 Which XP Deus II remote control models is this waterproof cap compatible with? The XP Deus II 1-meter waterproof cap is designed for the standard Deus II remote control unit that ships with the RC (remote control) configuration of the detector. The cap installs on the remote's accessory port and replaces the standard plug when you need shallow-water protection or pressure balancing. This cap is specifically engineered for RC configuration remotes and provides reliable sealing for wet environments, variable altitude hunts, and temperature changes. If you run the RC configuration and hunt wet environments or experience altitude or temperature variations, this is the correct cap for your remote control unit. How deep can I submerge the Deus II remote control with the 1-meter waterproof cap installed? With the 1-meter waterproof cap installed, the Deus II remote control is rated for submersion up to 1 meter (3.3 feet) deep. This depth rating covers wet sand hunts, shallow creek crossings, and light surf work where the remote might briefly go underwater while you dig or retrieve a target. The sealed membrane in the cap blocks water ingress while allowing air to pass through, so internal pressure stays balanced even when the remote is submerged. Do not exceed the 1-meter depth limit, as deeper immersion risks water entering the housing and damaging the electronics. Always verify the cap is properly installed before exposing the remote to water. What is the purpose of the sealed membrane in this waterproof cap? The sealed membrane in the 1-meter waterproof cap serves two functions: it blocks water from entering the remote control housing while allowing air to migrate through, which balances internal pressure during temperature or altitude changes. When you move from a warm car to cold air, or from sea level to elevation, the air inside the remote expands or contracts. The membrane lets air equalize while keeping water molecules out, preventing housing distortion and seal failure. This makes the cap reliable for all-day hunts in variable conditions, not just wet environments. The pressure-balancing feature protects the remote's internal components across diverse hunting scenarios. Learn more about pressure-balancing technologies in our guide to metal detector technologies. Can I use the 1-meter waterproof cap on dry land, or is it only for water hunts? You can use the 1-meter waterproof cap on dry land without any performance penalty. The sealed membrane design works equally well in dry conditions, and many Deus II owners install this cap as their everyday plug because the pressure-balancing feature prevents housing swelling during temperature or altitude changes that occur on any hunt. The cap provides consistent protection whether you are hunting parks, fields, or beaches. If you hunt varied terrain (parks one day, beaches the next), leaving the 1-meter cap installed full-time simplifies your setup and ensures the remote is protected whenever you encounter wet conditions or environmental changes. How do I install the 1-meter waterproof cap on the Deus II remote control? To install the 1-meter waterproof cap, remove the existing plug from the remote control's accessory port. Inspect the port and the new cap to ensure both are clean and free of sand or debris, which can compromise the seal. Install the new cap into the port by hand, securing it firmly to create a waterproof seal. After installation, check that the cap sits flush against the remote housing with no gaps. The sealed membrane design ensures proper pressure balancing once installed. Before your first water hunt, test the seal by submerging the remote in a shallow container of water for a few minutes and inspecting for bubbles or moisture inside the housing. Does the 1-meter waterproof cap affect the Deus II remote control's battery life or wireless range? The 1-meter waterproof cap does not interfere with the Deus II remote control's normal operation. The cap seals an accessory port on the remote housing and does not cover the antenna, block the display, or interfere with the internal circuitry. The sealed membrane in the cap is air-permeable, so it does not create a pressure differential that would stress the housing or affect internal component performance. Install the cap and hunt as you normally would. The cap's design focuses on water protection and pressure balancing without compromising the remote's functionality during detection operations. What is the difference between the 1-meter waterproof cap and the 20-meter waterproof cap for the Deus II remote? The 1-meter waterproof cap uses a sealed membrane that balances internal pressure while blocking water to 1 meter deep, making it suitable for wet sand, shallow creeks, and light surf. The membrane design prevents housing swelling during temperature or altitude changes by allowing air to equalize while keeping water molecules out. This pressure-balancing feature makes the 1-meter cap ideal for hunters who work in variable environmental conditions on land or in shallow water. If you hunt exclusively on land or in shallow water up to 1 meter depth, this cap provides the protection and pressure management you need. Explore XP accessories in our XP metal detectors - authorized US dealer collection. Will the 1-meter waterproof cap prevent the Deus II remote control from fogging up in humid conditions? The 1-meter waterproof cap's sealed membrane allows internal air to equalize with external pressure, which helps manage pressure changes during temperature variations. The membrane lets air migrate through slowly, so temperature-driven pressure changes are gradual rather than abrupt. This pressure-balancing function is the cap's primary design feature, protecting the remote housing from swelling or seal stress during environmental changes. To maintain optimal remote performance in humid conditions, store the remote in a climate-controlled environment before hunts and avoid rapid temperature swings when possible. The cap's membrane technology focuses on pressure management and water protection up to 1 meter depth. Can I leave the 1-meter waterproof cap installed on the remote control between hunts, or should I remove it? The 1-meter waterproof cap is designed for common use on land or for submerged remote control up to 1 meter, and it provides pressure balancing to prevent the remote control from swelling during variations in temperature or altitude. Many Deus II owners install the cap and use it across multiple hunts, as it serves both wet-environment protection and pressure-management functions. The sealed membrane design works effectively in both dry and wet conditions. Periodically inspect the cap and port to ensure both remain clean and free of debris that could compromise the seal. Browse additional Deus II accessories in our metal detector parts & accessories collection. Is the gray color of the 1-meter waterproof cap the only option available, or does XP offer other colors? The gray color is the standard option for the XP Deus II 1-meter waterproof cap and matches the gray finish of the remote control housing. This gray finish is the version supplied by XP for the Deus II RC configuration. The cap's sealed membrane design and pressure-balancing function are the key features, providing reliable water protection up to 1 meter depth and preventing housing swelling during temperature or altitude changes. For reliable sealing and proper function, use the gray cap as supplied by XP. Learn more about XP's design philosophy in our guide to metal detector technologies. shopify_US_8289323843868_45211140456732 Which XP detector remotes require the red 20-meter waterproof cap? The red 20-meter waterproof cap is designed exclusively for the XP DEUS II remote control and maintains pressure balance during underwater detecting sessions. The DEUS II remote's flexible keypad and internal speaker require active pressure management when submerged, and the red cap prevents component distortion through its pressure-balancing mechanism. If you are running a DEUS II remote for river, lake, or ocean detecting underwater, the red cap is the required accessory before entering the water. The cap is reserved for underwater use exclusively and should not be used on land, where temperature variations can cause the keypad to swell or the loudspeaker to stick. Why is the red cap forbidden for land detecting with the DEUS II remote? The red 20-meter waterproof cap is forbidden for land use because its pressure-balancing mechanism, engineered to protect the remote underwater, causes the flexible keypad to swell and the loudspeaker membrane to stick when exposed to surface air temperature changes. Underwater, the cap equalizes internal and external pressure as depth changes. On land, surface temperature rises and falls alter ambient conditions, allowing the red cap to distort the keypad and speaker in ways that do not occur when the standard land cap is installed. Detectorists must remove the red cap immediately after exiting the water and reinstall the standard cap before resuming surface hunts to prevent remote malfunction and extend equipment lifespan. What depth range does the red 20-meter cap support for DEUS II underwater detecting? The red 20-meter waterproof cap supports DEUS II remote operation to a maximum depth of 20 meters, equivalent to 65 feet, covering the full range of recreational underwater metal detecting in rivers, lakes, and coastal zones. The red cap's pressure-balancing mechanism maintains keypad responsiveness and speaker function throughout the supported depth range. The cap is reserved exclusively for underwater use and must be removed when returning to land detecting, as temperature variations on the surface can cause the flexible keypad to swell or the loudspeaker to stick when the red cap remains installed. Can I leave the red cap installed on the DEUS II remote between underwater hunts? You cannot leave the red 20-meter waterproof cap installed on the DEUS II remote between underwater hunts because the pressure-balancing mechanism will cause keypad swelling and speaker malfunction when the remote is exposed to surface air for extended periods. The cap must be removed immediately after exiting the water and replaced with the standard land cap before storing your equipment. The red cap is a dive-specific component, not an all-environment replacement for the standard cap. Using it during regular surface operations shortens the remote's operational lifespan by subjecting the flexible keypad and speaker to unnecessary atmospheric pressure cycles. How do I verify the red cap is properly seated on the DEUS II remote before diving? The red 20-meter waterproof cap is reserved exclusively for underwater use with the DEUS II remote and features a pressure-balancing mechanism that prevents the flexible keypad from swelling and the loudspeaker from sticking during submerged detecting sessions. The cap maintains pressure balance to a maximum depth of 20 meters (65 feet), covering rivers, lakes, and coastal zones where recreational underwater metal detecting occurs. After each underwater hunt, remove the red cap immediately and replace it with the standard land cap before resuming surface detecting or storing the remote, as temperature variations on land will cause component distortion if the red cap remains installed. For more details on waterproofing across detector platforms, review our guide at detector technology explained. What happens if I use the DEUS II remote underwater without the red cap installed? Using the DEUS II remote underwater without the red cap subjects the unit to unbalanced external water pressure that compresses the flexible keypad membrane inward, leaving buttons unresponsive or stuck. It also presses the loudspeaker diaphragm against its housing, causing audio distortion or speaker failure. The red cap's pressure-balancing mechanism is essential for equalizing internal and external pressure during underwater detecting. Skipping it to avoid the cap-swap routine leads to expensive component repairs.

The XP DEUS II Remote Control Headphone Jack Adapter is compatible exclusively with the XP DEUS II remote control. It connects directly to the DEUS II remote and provides a standard 3.5mm jack for wired headphones. This adapter does not work with the original legacy XP DEUS or other alternative detector models. If you own a DEUS II machine and want to integrate standard wired headphones instead of utilizing the wireless audio pods, this adapter is the factory-designed accessory layout. To find alternative connection components or audio equipment, browse our full XP Metal Detectors Collection. Can I use any 3.5mm headphones with this adapter? Yes, the adapter accepts standard 3.5mm headphone plugs. It functions reliably with over-ear studio monitors, in-ear buds, and basic foam-pad headphones. The angled connector design means the headphone cable routes safely along the side of the remote rather than protruding straight out, which reduces environmental snag risks. If you already own a comfortable pair of wired headphones, this adapter lets you use them with your equipment instead of relying on wireless pods. Discover more compatible equipment combinations by checking out our full selection of metal detector parts & accessories. Does the adapter affect audio quality or detector performance? The adapter provides a direct wired connection for routing audio from the remote control to your headphones. The actual audio output quality and tone crispness depend primarily on the hardware specifications of the headphones you choose to connect. The underlying simultaneous multi-frequency processing and signal recovery speeds remain completely unchanged. Understanding how different audio profiles and frequencies operate together in real-world environments is a key element explained in our guide to metal detector technologies. How does the angled connector benefit field use? The angled 3.5mm connector sits flush against the DEUS II remote's body, which keeps the headphone cable close to the unit instead of protruding at a 90-degree angle. This low-profile design reduces the chance of snagging on brush, jacket zippers, or pack straps during a hunt. We've used the adapter on wooded relic sites where branches are constant obstacles, and the angled routing kept the cable out of the way. If you hunt in heavy cover or store your detector in a pack between sites, the angled connector is a practical advantage over a straight plug. Can I leave the adapter plugged into the remote when not in use? You can leave the adapter connected to the DEUS II remote, but we recommend unplugging it when you switch back to wireless audio or when storing the detector for extended periods. The 3.5mm jack and the remote's connection point are both durable, but repeated stress on the connection (from the cable being pulled or the remote being tossed into a pack) can eventually loosen the fit. Unplugging the adapter when you're not using wired headphones extends the lifespan of both the adapter and the remote's connection point. Does this adapter work with the DEUS II WS6 master headphones? No, this adapter is designed specifically for the DEUS II remote control, not the WS6 master headphones. If you run the DEUS II in remote-only mode (without the WS6) and want wired audio, this adapter is the correct accessory. DEUS II users who operate with the WS6 as the primary control unit will not need this adapter unless they also use the standalone remote. The adapter's purpose is to add wired headphone capability to the remote control configuration, giving you an alternative to wireless audio when using the remote. Is the adapter waterproof or submersible? We recommend keeping the adapter and the remote's jack dry during hunts. If you detect in wet conditions or shallow water, the wireless audio pods are a better choice since they offer waterproof operation. The adapter is best suited for dry-land hunting where wired headphones offer audio clarity or comfort advantages over wireless options. When hunting in environments where moisture exposure is likely, switching to the wireless audio system protects both the adapter and the remote's connection point from water damage. What is the cable length on this adapter? The adapter is a short cable designed to connect the remote control to your headphones without excess slack. The compact length keeps the connection point close to the remote, which reduces cable management issues. Your headphones' own cable handles the distance to your ears. If you need a longer reach, you can use a standard 3.5mm extension cable between the adapter and your headphones. The short design minimizes the amount of cable between the remote and your headphones, keeping the setup streamlined and reducing potential snag points during field use. Does using the adapter drain the DEUS II remote's battery faster? The DEUS II remote's battery performance is solid regardless of which audio method you choose. Whether you use wired headphones via this adapter or the wireless audio system, the remote provides reliable power for full-day hunts. The adapter allows you to connect wired headphones as an alternative to the wireless pods, giving you flexibility in how you configure your audio setup. Battery life will vary based on your detector settings, search conditions, and overall usage patterns during your hunt. Can I use the adapter with bone-conduction headphones?

How do I install the screen protector without trapping air bubbles? The installation kit includes a cleaning patch to remove dust and oils from the remote screen before applying the protector. Clean the screen thoroughly, then align the protector with the display edges and press from the center outward to expel air toward the edges. Work slowly to avoid trapping bubbles, and if a bubble forms, lift the nearest edge and re-press from that point. Installing in a low-dust environment (indoors, not at a beach parking lot) reduces contamination risk. For detailed installation guidance, see the technologies behind modern detectors page for accessory-maintenance tips. Can I remove and reapply the protector if I make a mistake during installation? The tempered glass protector features waterproof adhesion that bonds to the remote's display surface. If you misalign the protector during initial placement, lift it immediately and realign before the adhesive fully sets. Plan the alignment carefully before pressing the protector onto the screen, using the display edges and bezel as reference points. The included cleaning patch helps ensure a dust-free surface for optimal adhesion. Take your time during installation to achieve proper alignment on the first attempt. Does the waterproof adhesion hold up during submersion, or will water seep under the edges? The waterproof adhesion is designed to seal the protector edges against water intrusion during submersion, maintaining protection when the DEUS II remote is used in shallow water or wet sand. The adhesive bonds the protector to the remote's display surface, working to prevent water from reaching the underlying screen glass. Detectorists hunting in surf zones and streams report no edge-lift or water intrusion after repeated submersions. Proper installation on a clean, dust-free surface is critical for achieving optimal edge adhesion and waterproof performance. Will this protector prevent the screen from cracking if I drop the remote? The tempered glass layer absorbs impact force and reduces the likelihood of screen cracks from drops onto hard surfaces, but it does not guarantee crack prevention in all drop scenarios. The scratch and impact-resistant glass provides a protective barrier that significantly improves drop protection compared to an unprotected screen. High-impact drops onto sharp rocks or concrete edges may still crack both the protector and the underlying screen. The protector is impact-resistant, not impact-proof, serving as a sacrificial layer that takes damage before the remote's display. How many protectors come in the kit, and can I buy replacements separately? This kit includes one tempered glass screen protector and one installation/cleaning patch. If the protector becomes scratched or cracked after extended field use, replacement protectors are available separately through metal detector parts & accessories dealers. Detectorists who hunt in high-abrasion environments (gravel bars, rocky desert) may choose to stock a spare protector for field replacement when the installed unit shows significant wear. Does the protector add noticeable thickness or weight to the remote? The tempered glass protector adds minimal thickness and weight to the DEUS II remote, with no significant impact on handling or pocket carry. The protector sits flush with the remote's bezel, maintaining a low profile and preventing snag points when pulling the remote from a pouch or pocket. The thin glass construction preserves the remote's original ergonomics and balance.

The XP Deus II Stereo Backphone Headband is compatible with the WS6 Stereo (WS6 ST) and WSA Stereo (WSA ST) headphone control modules. These are the stereo-capable modules in the Deus II wireless audio ecosystem. The headband is designed specifically for stereo operation and will not function with mono versions of the WS6 or WSA modules. The wireless control module itself is sold separately, so you'll need to pair this headband with an existing WS6 ST or WSA ST unit. This setup gives you stereo target separation with an open-ear fit. Does the headband include the wireless control module or just the headband itself? The XP Deus II Stereo Backphone Headband is the headband component only. The wireless headphone control module (WS6 ST or WSA ST) is sold separately. This is a replacement or upgrade part for detectorists who already own a compatible control module and want to switch from over-ear cups to an open-ear backphone design. If you're building a complete audio system from scratch, you'll need to purchase both the headband and the control module. How does the open-ear design affect audio quality compared to over-ear headphones? The open-ear backphone design delivers stereo target separation and clear audio signals but allows ambient noise through. You'll hear the Deus II's left-right stereo cues without the isolation of over-ear cups. This tradeoff is intentional: open-ear designs prioritize situational awareness over maximum signal isolation. In quiet environments, the audio clarity is comparable to over-ear models. In noisy settings like windy beaches or busy parks, you may hear more environmental interference, but you gain the safety and awareness benefits of hearing your surroundings. Many detectorists prefer this balance when hunting in public spaces or near traffic. Is the backphone headband comfortable for all-day detecting sessions? The backphone-style fit reduces pressure on the ears by sitting behind the head rather than clamping over or around them. This design distributes weight differently than over-ear cups, making it more comfortable for extended sessions, especially in warm weather when over-ear designs trap heat. The open-ear configuration also prevents moisture buildup around the ears. Comfort is subjective, but the lightweight construction and behind-the-head placement work well for detectorists who find traditional headphones uncomfortable after a few hours. The fit remains stable during bending and digging without shifting. Can I wear a hat or visor with the backphone headband? Yes, the behind-the-head design accommodates hats, visors, and caps without interference. The headband sits below the hat line, so you can wear sun protection or cold-weather headgear without adjusting the fit. This is a practical advantage over over-the-ear designs, which can conflict with hat brims or push headwear out of position. If you detect in direct sun or cold conditions and rely on a hat for comfort, the backphone headband integrates seamlessly. For more on how different headphone designs fit into the broader range of XP metal detectors - authorized US dealer accessories, explore our XP collection. How does the stereo audio help with target identification on the Deus II? Stereo audio on the Deus II provides left-right channel separation, giving you directional cues about target location relative to the coil. When a target is off-center, you'll hear a stronger signal in the left or right ear, helping you pinpoint without relying solely on the visual target ID. This is especially useful in trashy sites where multiple targets are close together. The stereo separation makes it easier to isolate the good signal from the junk. The backphone headband preserves this stereo capability while keeping your ears open to ambient sound. Understanding how the technologies behind modern detectors like stereo audio work can help you get more from your setup. What is the weight difference between the backphone headband and over-ear headphones? The manufacturer does not publish specific weight figures for the backphone headband, but the open-ear design is lighter than over-ear models because it eliminates the enclosed ear cups and additional padding. The reduced weight is noticeable during long sessions, especially when combined with the WS6 ST or WSA ST control module. The lighter load on your head reduces fatigue and makes the audio system feel less intrusive. If you've been detecting with over-ear headphones and find them tiring after a few hours, the backphone headband offers a meaningful reduction in perceived weight. Can I use the backphone headband in wet or rainy conditions? The XP Deus II Stereo Backphone Headband does not carry a waterproof rating in the manufacturer's specifications. The open-ear design exposes the drivers to the elements more than enclosed over-ear models, so it's best suited for dry or light-moisture conditions. If you're detecting in rain or near water, consider using a waterproof over-ear headphone option designed for wet environments. The backphone headband excels in warm, dry conditions where heat and sweat are the primary comfort concerns, not water exposure. How do I attach the backphone headband to my WS6 ST or WSA ST module? The backphone headband connects to the WS6 ST or WSA ST control module via the standard attachment mechanism used across XP's modular audio system. The control module attaches to the headband's mounting mechanism, securing the wireless unit firmly in place. XP's modular design allows you to easily swap between headband styles and over-ear cups without replacing your entire audio system. If you are switching from traditional over-ear headphones, the wireless control module you already own will integrate directly with this backphone frame Does the backphone headband work with the original Deus or ORX detectors? The XP Deus II Stereo Backphone Headband is designed specifically for the Deus II's WS6 Stereo and WSA Stereo modules. It is not compatible with the original Deus or ORX wireless audio systems, which use different module designs and connectors. If you're running an original Deus or ORX, you'll need to use the headphone options designed for those platforms. The Deus II's modular audio system is a separate ecosystem with its own headband and headphone components. shopify_US_8289298874652_45210999456028 What frequencies does the Deus II WS6 Master run? The Deus II WS6 Master runs 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz or simultaneous multi-frequency FMF mode. Single-frequency operation lets you tune for specific target types when you know what you're chasing, while FMF mode transmits multiple frequencies at once for stable target ID in mineralized soil and wet salt sand. Hunters working iron-choked sites often run mid-range single frequencies for discrimination and switch to FMF when the ground heats up. The XP Deus II WS6 Master lineup offers three coil sizes with the same frequency range. Is the Deus II WS6 Master waterproof? The Deus II's 9-inch coil and lower stem are waterproof to 20 meters, and the WS6 headphones are rainproof but not submersible. You can hunt shallow surf zones, wade creeks, and work through rain without system failure, but the WS6 pod must stay above water. For full submersion, XP offers the WSA XL bone-conduction headphones rated IP68 for underwater use. Detectorists hunting Gulf Coast beaches and California tide pools run the system in FMF mode for stable target ID on gold rings buried in wet sand. An optional waterproof antenna is required when the coil is submerged beyond wading depth. What's the battery life on the WS6 headphones? The WS6 headphones run 15 hours on a single charge, and the coil battery lasts 8 to 20 hours depending on the program and frequency settings. USB quick-charge brings the WS6 pod from dead to full in under three hours, so you can top off during lunch and hunt all afternoon. The system displays battery level for the headphones, coil, and optional MI-6 pinpointer on the WS6's LCD screen. Hunters working all-day sessions carry a portable USB battery pack to recharge the pod in the field. Can I use the Deus II without the WS6 headphones? The Deus II WS6 Master ships with the WS6 headphones as the primary control interface, and the system is designed to operate with the WS6 pod for program adjustments and discrimination settings. XP offers the WSA and WSA XL bone-conduction headphones as alternatives, but the WS6 pod's integrated LCD and controls make it the most versatile option for detectorists who adjust settings frequently. The wireless architecture means no cables between the coil and headphones, so you can swing freely without connector sway. What's the difference between the 9-inch and 11-inch coils? The 9-inch coil weighs 345 grams and offers faster recovery speed in trashy sites, while the 11-inch coil weighs 470 grams and punches deeper on large silver and relics. Hunters working tot lots and urban parks prefer the 9-inch for maneuverability and target separation, while relic hunters working open farm fields and old homesteads run the 11-inch for coverage. Both coils run the same 49 single frequencies and FMF mode, and both are waterproof to 20 meters. The water-resistant detector collection covers the full Deus II coil range. Does the Deus II work in saltwater? The Deus II's FMF mode handles wet salt sand and mineralized black sand without the ground-phase drift that plagues single-frequency VLF machines. The coil is waterproof to 20 meters, so you can hunt shallow surf zones and work the tide line without system failure. Detectorists hunting saltwater beaches run FMF mode for stable target ID on gold rings and chains, and the system's multi-notch discrimination lets you filter bottle caps and pull-tabs without losing good targets. For full submersion diving, an optional waterproof antenna is required when the coil is submerged beyond wading depth. What warranty does the Deus II carry? XP covers the Deus II with a five-year limited manufacturer warranty on parts and labor, and batteries, chargers, and connectors carry a two-year warranty. The warranty applies when you purchase from an authorized dealer, and XP's technical support team handles service directly. We've seen the five-year coverage handle coil cable failures, remote button wear, and display issues without hassle, and XP's France-based service turnaround typically runs two to three weeks for warranty repairs. Can beginners use the Deus II effectively? The Deus II offers 12 factory preset programs that deliver turn-on-and-go performance for beginners, and the WS6 headphones let you adjust settings without navigating the remote's menu system. New detectorists typically start with the General or Park program and learn discrimination and reactivity adjustments as they gain experience. The learning curve is steeper than single-frequency beginner machines, but the presets handle most coin and jewelry hunting scenarios without custom tuning.

The DEUS II WS6 Master system works with any XP FMF coil in the DEUS II lineup, including the 9" round, 11" round, 13x11" elliptical, and 9.5x5" elliptical coils, all of which pair wirelessly with the WS6 headphones and remote. The system also supports the optional HF2 high-frequency coils (operating from 9 to 120 kHz) for small gold and fine jewelry hunting. Swapping coils requires a quick wireless pairing sequence, and the remote automatically recognizes the new coil's frequency range and adjusts the available program options. How deep does the 13x11 coil detect coins and relics? The 13x11 FMF coil on the DEUS II reaches high-conductivity targets like silver dollars and large copper relics to depths exceeding 12 inches in low-mineralization soil, with actual depth varying by target size, orientation, and ground conditions. In moderately mineralized farm fields, expect 8 to 10 inches on quarter-sized coins and 10 to 14 inches on silver dollars. The elliptical shape covers more ground per swing than round coils, making it efficient for open fields and beach runs where you're covering distance rather than working tight quarters. Can the DEUS II detect in saltwater surf zones? The DEUS II's coil is waterproof to 20 meters and its FMF multi-frequency mode stabilizes target ID in wet salt sand. However, the WS6 headphone pod is only rainproof and cannot be submerged. Additionally, because wireless radio signals cannot travel through water, you will lose audio communication if the coil is fully submerged. For wading or surf hunting where the coil goes underwater, you must install the optional XP waveguide antenna cable to route the signal from the coil up to your headphone pod. What batteries does the DEUS II use and how long do they last? The DEUS II WS6 Master runs on internal rechargeable lithium batteries in each component: the remote holds a 700 mAh cell (15 to 30 hours runtime depending on audio output), the WS6 headphones hold a 365 mAh cell (15 hours), and the 13x11 coil holds a 700 mAh cell (8 to 20 hours depending on program and frequency selection). All three charge simultaneously via the included USB cable in under three hours, and the remote and headphones display battery levels for each component so you can plan recharge intervals during multi-day hunts. How does the wireless system handle interference from other detectors or Wi-Fi? The DEUS II's XP Link radio protocol operates on 36 automatic channels in the 2.4 to 2.48 GHz band, and the system scans for clear channels at power-on to avoid interference from nearby Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices, or other wireless detectors. In group hunts where multiple DEUS II units are running simultaneously, each detector pairs to its own coil and headphones on a unique channel, so you won't hear another hunter's targets. The wireless link maintains stable communication up to several meters between components, and the system alerts you if a component loses pairing. What warranty and support does XP provide for the DEUS II? XP Metal Detectors backs the DEUS II platform with a five-year factory warranty covering parts and labor on the search coil, WS6 control pod, and stem architecture, while batteries and charging accessories carry a two-year warranty. For serious detectorists looking to step up from entry-level gear, this system represents the pinnacle of the advanced and expert metal detectors category, offering unrivaled speed and custom program slots backed by long-term manufacturer support. shopify_US_10724884840732_53636942168348 What frequencies does the XP DEUS II operate on? The XP DEUS II operates in simultaneous Fast Multi Frequency mode or selects from 49 single frequencies ranging from 4 to 45 kHz. FMF mode transmits multiple frequencies at once for stable target ID in mineralized ground and saltwater, while single-frequency operation lets you tune sensitivity for specific target types like small gold or deep silver. The platform also supports optional HF2 coils that extend the frequency range from 9 to 120 kHz for extreme small-gold sensitivity. Detectorists hunting across varied terrain often browse the XP Deus II metal detector collection to compare coil configurations. Is the DEUS II waterproof? The DEUS II's 9-inch FMF search coil is waterproof to 20 meters (66 feet) when paired with the optional waterproof antenna, and the lower shaft is submersible. The WS6-ST headphones and remote control are rainproof but not submersible, so surf hunting and shallow-water wading are supported while the control components stay dry on your hip or in a sealed pouch. For full-submersion diving, XP offers the optional WSA-XL ST bone-conduction headphones rated IP68 to 20 meters. The coil's IP68 rating handles freshwater rivers, saltwater surf, and wet sand without performance loss. How long does the battery last on a single charge? The WS6-ST headphones run approximately 15 hours on a single charge, the remote control lasts 15 to 30 hours depending on audio output settings, and the 9-inch FMF coil operates 8 to 20 hours depending on the selected program and frequency. All three components charge simultaneously via the included USB cable in approximately 3 hours. We carry spare batteries in the field for multi-day prospecting trips, but a single charge covers a full day of park hunting or beach work for most detectorists. Can I use the DEUS II for gold prospecting? The DEUS II handles gold prospecting in hot soil when you select single-frequency operation at the upper end of the range, up to 45 kHz. The adjustable threshold and audio frequency let you tune for faint signals on sub-gram nuggets, and the manual ground balance locks the detector in stable ironstone terrain where automatic tracking can drift. For extreme small-gold work, the optional HF2 coils extend the frequency range to 120 kHz, which increases sensitivity to fine flakes and pickers in highly mineralized ground. Prospectors comparing platforms should review the gold detectors category for dedicated high-frequency alternatives. What coils are compatible with the DEUS II? The DEUS II is compatible with XP's full line of FMF coils, including the 9-inch round (included with this configuration), 11-inch round, 13x11-inch elliptical, and 9.5x5-inch elliptical models. Optional HF2 coils extend the frequency range to 120 kHz for small-gold prospecting. All coils are fully wireless and waterproof to 20 meters when paired with the optional antenna. Coil swaps require no tools; you pair the new coil to the remote via the wireless link, and the detector stores settings for up to 10 coils in memory. Does the WS6-ST headphone have its own controls? The WS6-ST headphones include a built-in control interface with a 64x64-pixel display, so you adjust sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance, and program selection without reaching for the remote control box. The headphones also display target conductivity, battery status for all three components, and coil selection. This lets you run the detector with the remote mounted on your hip or stowed in a pack, checking settings on the headphone screen as you hunt. The four-band equalizer and multi-tone configurations are also accessible directly from the WS6-ST interface. How does the wireless system handle interference? The XP patented radio protocol automatically selects from 36 channels in the 2.40 to 2.48 GHz band, avoiding interference from other detectors, Wi-Fi networks, and radio-frequency sources in the field. The system pairs the coil, remote, and headphones at startup, and once paired, the components communicate without latency or dropouts. We've hunted group rallies with a dozen DEUS II units running simultaneously and experienced no cross-talk or signal loss. The wireless link also supports the optional MI-6 pinpointer, which integrates into the same radio protocol for one-button target recovery. What is the warranty coverage on the DEUS II? XP backs the DEUS II with a five-year warranty on parts and labor, covering the coil, remote control, headphones, and stem. Batteries, chargers, and connectors carry a two-year warranty. The warranty is valid when you purchase from an authorized XP dealer like Serious Detecting, and claims are handled directly through XP's technical support team. The detector is manufactured in France, and XP's service network covers firmware updates, component replacements, and field repairs for the life of the warranty. Can I use the DEUS II in saltwater surf? The DEUS II's FMF mode stabilizes in wet saltwater sand and handles the rapid mineralization shifts that occur in the surf zone, delivering clean target ID on coins and jewelry without the ground-phase drift common in some pulse-induction machines. The 9-inch coil is waterproof to 20 meters when paired with the optional antenna, so you can wade chest-deep or dive shallow reefs. The WS6-ST headphones are rainproof but not submersible, so surf hunters typically mount the remote on a hip harness and keep the headphones above the waterline. For more advanced detector platforms, compare waterproof ratings across models. shopify_US_8289784463644_45212819456284 Is the XP Deus LCD remote control compatible with the Deus II? The XP Deus LCD remote control is designed exclusively for the original XP Deus and is not compatible with the Deus II. If you own a Deus II, you need the Deus II-specific remote, which XP sells separately. The original Deus remote will not pair with Deus II coils or the Deus II master control unit. This remote control is a replacement unit for the original XP Deus system and includes the same back-lit display and speaker that comes standard with the Deus. Verify your detector model before ordering to ensure compatibility with your system. Can I operate the XP Deus without the remote control? You can operate the XP Deus without the remote control by using the WS4 or WS5 wireless headset, which has its own menu system for adjusting programs, discrimination, and ground balance. The headset-only setup reduces stem weight and simplifies the control interface for detectorists who prefer audio cues over visual confirmation. However, the remote control unlocks features the headset cannot access, including static all-metal mode for cache hunting, wireless MI-6 pinpointer pairing, and the ability to save up to 8 custom programs. Many Deus operators keep the remote in a pocket as a backup and mount it on the stem only when they need advanced settings or visual program feedback during complex site work. How do I pair a new coil to the XP Deus remote control? The XP Deus remote control stores up to 10 coil serial numbers in its coil configuration menu. To pair a new coil, power on the remote, navigate to the coil configuration menu using the menu button, select an empty coil slot, and enter the coil's unique serial number printed on the coil housing or included documentation. Once saved, the remote will recognize that coil automatically when you power on the system. This allows you to switch between multiple coils without re-entering serial numbers each session. The user manual included with the remote provides step-by-step pairing instructions for each coil size. Does the remote control's speaker work when I am using wireless headphones? The XP Deus remote control includes an integrated speaker that provides audio feedback during detection. The remote attaches and detaches from the stem in seconds using a simple thumb press on the bottom of the unit, allowing you to mount it for visual program feedback or store it in a pocket. The back-lit display and speaker combination gives you multiple ways to monitor target signals and system settings. Some Deus operators mount the remote on the stem for full visual and audio control, while others rely primarily on wireless headphones and keep the remote as a backup or for accessing advanced settings during complex site work. What is the difference between the Basic program and the Deus Fast program? The Basic program on the XP Deus remote control is a general-purpose mode with moderate discrimination, standard reactivity, and balanced sensitivity, making it suitable for open fields where target density is sparse. The Deus Fast program increases reactivity to separate small targets like coins and jewelry from iron trash in highly contaminated environments. Deus Fast runs a faster recovery speed, meaning it can detect a good target immediately after rejecting an adjacent iron nail. To understand how recovery speed and reactive processing power alter target separation, read our complete guide on metal detector technologies. Can I update the firmware on the XP Deus remote control? You can update the firmware on the XP Deus remote control using XP's free firmware update software, which you download from the XP Metal Detectors website. XP releases firmware updates periodically to improve performance, add features, and refine existing programs like Gold Field and Hot. The remote control provides access to 10 factory pre-set programs plus 8 empty program slots for saving custom programs, and firmware updates can enhance these capabilities. Always back up your custom programs before updating, as some firmware updates reset user-saved settings. Check the XP Metal Detectors website regularly for the latest firmware versions and update instructions specific to your Deus system. How long does the battery last on the XP Deus remote control? The XP Deus remote control uses a rechargeable battery that powers the back-lit display, speaker, and wireless transmission to the coil and headset. Battery life varies based on backlight usage, speaker volume, and wireless transmission frequency. Running the backlight at maximum brightness or using the onboard speaker at high volume drains the battery faster than operating with the backlight dimmed and relying solely on wireless headphones. The remote control is designed for extended field use and is certified LONGTIME by XP, indicating it is built to last. Many Deus operators charge the remote after each hunt to ensure reliable power for the next session. What is the static all-metal mode, and when would I use it? The static all-metal mode on the XP Deus remote control allows you to detect targets without moving the coil, which is useful for cache hunting, pipe tracing, and locating large buried objects like safes or metal drums. In standard motion-based modes, the Deus requires coil movement to generate a target signal, but static mode processes signals continuously, similar to a traditional VLF all-metal mode. This mode is less common in coin and jewelry hunting but valuable for relic hunters and treasure seekers working around foundations, walls, or suspected cache sites. The remote control is required to access static mode, as the WS4 headset menu does not include this feature. Can I use the XP Deus remote control in wet conditions or rain? XP offers a silicone protective case designed specifically for the remote control, which shields the display and buttons from moisture while maintaining button access and screen visibility. Detectorists hunting in light rain or coastal environments with salt spray use the silicone case to prevent water damage. The protective case is sold separately and provides an extra layer of protection for the remote's back-lit display and electronic components. If you plan to hunt in wet weather frequently, consider pairing the remote with the protective case or relying on the WS4 headset for control. The remote attaches and detaches from the stem in seconds, allowing you to store it in a protected pocket when conditions become challenging. How do I pair the XP MI-6 pinpointer to the Deus remote control? Access the remote's pinpointer settings using the menu button, select 'Pair Pinpointer,' and hold the power button on the MI-6 to initiate wireless pairing. Once connected, target tones route directly through your wireless headset or the remote's onboard speaker. The remote can also locate a lost pinpointer by triggering an audible alarm on the buried tool. This seamless wireless ecosystem is exclusive to the Deus remote control setup.

The XP Deus Hardware Kit fits both the 9-inch and 11-inch XP Deus search coils. The reinforced plastic components are molded to the exact thread pitch and lug spacing used across the Deus coil lineup, so one kit covers either size. Compatibility is limited to the original XP Deus coils per manufacturer specifications. If you're running multiple Deus coils and swap them frequently, keeping a spare kit for each coil speeds field changes and prevents cross-threading from reusing worn hardware. For the full range of XP metal detectors and compatible accessories, our catalog lists current compatibility by model. How often should I replace the top hat spacer? XP recommends replacing the top hat spacer regularly to prevent damage to the coil's fastening lugs. Replace the spacer regularly as recommended by XP, especially in demanding conditions such as rocky terrain, saltwater beaches, or dense brush. The spacer absorbs lateral stress during swings and coil changes, and a worn spacer transfers that force to the coil's plastic lugs, which can crack under repeated load. Inspecting the spacer's contact surfaces for flattening or deformation after each long hunt session helps catch wear before it damages the coil. The wing nut and bolt last longer, but keeping a full kit on hand means you're ready when any component strips. What's included in the XP Deus Hardware Kit? The XP Deus Hardware Kit includes a wing nut, top hat connector (spacer), washer, and bolt. These four components form the complete fastening assembly that connects the search coil to the lower stem. The kit provides everything needed to secure a 9-inch or 11-inch Deus coil without hunting for individual replacement parts. Each component is molded from reinforced plastic to XP's specifications, ensuring proper fit and function with the Deus coil and stem system. Using XP-engineered components ensures the correct thread match and spacer geometry for reliable coil mounting. Can I use generic hardware instead of the XP kit? XP-engineered components ensure a proper fit for the Deus coil and stem system. The top hat connector in the XP kit is designed to fit Deus coils perfectly, distributing stress safely across the fastening lugs. Using manufacturer-specified hardware eliminates fitment issues and protects your investment. Because modern metal detector technologies rely on precise balance and modular designs, these reinforced plastic components are molded exactly to XP's specifications for thread pitch and lug geometry. This guarantees a secure connection that prevents damage during heavy field use. How do I know when the hardware needs replacement? Inspect the coil mount for play or wobble before each hunt. If the coil shifts laterally when you apply light hand pressure, the top hat spacer or wing nut threads are worn and should be replaced. Visible flattening or deformation on the spacer's contact surfaces, cracks in the wing nut's grip wings, or stripped threads on the bolt are clear signs the hardware has reached end-of-life. A loose mount throws off the detector's balance and can introduce false signals as the coil rocks during swings. Replacing the kit restores the tight connection and prevents stress transfer to the coil's plastic lugs. Does the kit work with XP ORX or Deus II coils? The XP Deus Hardware Kit is designed specifically for the original XP Deus 9-inch and 11-inch coils. Compatibility is limited to the original Deus coils per manufacturer specifications. If you own multiple XP detector models, verify the coil's compatibility before ordering replacement hardware. The reinforced plastic components in this kit are molded to fit the Deus coil and stem system. Our team can confirm fitment for your specific coil model to ensure you receive the correct hardware for your detector. Is the hardware waterproof? The XP Deus Hardware Kit is constructed from reinforced plastic and is designed for use with XP Deus coils. The hardware components connect the search coil to the lower stem and are engineered to XP's specifications for the Deus system. When installed correctly, the hardware maintains the proper coil-to-stem connection. The kit includes a wing nut, top hat connector, washer, and bolt, all molded from durable reinforced plastic. After hunting in wet conditions or saltwater environments, rinse the coil and hardware to maintain optimal performance and longevity of all components. Can I tighten the wing nut with pliers? The wing nut's grip wings are sized for finger tightening to achieve a secure mount. Firm hand pressure is typically sufficient to create a tight connection between the coil and stem. If the wing nut spins freely without tightening, the threads are stripped and the hardware kit should be replaced. Proper installation ensures the top hat spacer seats correctly and the coil remains stable during field use. Regular inspection of the hardware helps identify wear before it affects detector performance or balance. How long does the hardware kit last? Hardware lifespan depends on hunt frequency, terrain, and coil-swap frequency. Replace the spacer regularly as recommended by XP based on use conditions, with hunters in abrasive environments like rocky ground or saltwater beaches needing more frequent replacement. Hunters who swap coils frequently between park and field setups wear the threads faster than those running a single coil. Inspecting the hardware after each long session and replacing components at the first sign of play or deformation prevents coil damage and keeps the detector balanced. The wing nut and bolt typically outlast the top hat spacer under normal use conditions. Does Serious Detecting stock other XP Deus parts?

Proper installation and regular inspection help maintain optimal hardware performance throughout the detector's service life. shopify_US_8289783546140_45212817228060 Which XP metal detectors is this lower shaft compatible with? The XP Deus Metal Detector Lower Shaft is compatible with the standard telescopic stems of the XP Deus and XP ORX metal detectors. It works with standard XP Deus and ORX search coils, including X35 and HF coil models. The shaft slides into your existing middle shaft assembly and locks securely with your coil-mounting hardware (bolt, nut, and washers). If you're unsure if your detector uses the standard telescopic stem, check your detector's manual or contact our team for confirmation. Can I use this lower shaft to keep multiple coils ready for fast swaps? Yes, keeping a spare lower shaft for each of your backup coils is a favorite strategy among detectorists who run multiple search coils. By leaving each coil attached to its own lower shaft, you can swap coils in seconds without unbolting and re-bolting hardware in the middle of a hunt. When you transition from open ground to a trashy park or from dry sand to wet sand, you simply pull the existing lower shaft from your middle shaft assembly and slide in the shaft with your alternate coil already mounted. If you're setting up a quick-change secondary coil, grab a fresh set of coil mounting hardware so each coil stays ready on its own shaft. For more field-tested strategies, see our metal detecting tips and FAQs. What should I do if my current lower shaft is bent or cracked? Replace it with this genuine XP OEM lower shaft to restore your detector's original fit, flex, and weight balance. Bent or cracked lower poles are common field damage from years of hunting in thick brush, rocky soil, or underwater obstacles. A damaged lower shaft can throw off your swing balance and make coil-mounting hardware difficult to secure. This replacement shaft slides seamlessly into your existing middle shaft assembly and locks into place with your current coil-mounting bolt, nut, and washers. If your hardware is also worn or missing, order a fresh set of coil mounting hardware at the same time. Does this lower shaft come with coil-mounting hardware? No, this lower shaft does not include the coil-mounting bolt, nut, and washers. It's designed to work with your existing coil-mounting hardware from your current setup. If you're buying this shaft to set up a quick-change secondary coil or if your current hardware is worn or missing, you'll need to order a separate set of coil mounting hardware so each coil stays ready on its own shaft. Our metal detector parts & accessories section carries the full range of XP replacement hardware. Is this a genuine XP part or an aftermarket replacement? This is a genuine XP OEM replacement part, not an aftermarket alternative. Genuine XP parts guarantee the exact fit, flex, and weight balance as the original shaft that came with your machine, eliminating compatibility guesswork and ensuring your detector's swing characteristics remain unchanged. Aftermarket lower shafts may save a few dollars upfront, but they often introduce fit issues, weight imbalances, or flex inconsistencies that affect your hunting performance. We stock only genuine XP parts to ensure our customers get the same quality and reliability XP builds into every Deus and ORX detector. How do I install the lower shaft on my XP Deus or ORX? Installation is straightforward: slide the lower shaft into your existing middle shaft assembly until it seats fully, then lock it in place with your coil-mounting hardware (bolt, nut, and washers). The shaft is designed to slide seamlessly into the standard telescopic stem, so no special tools or modifications are required. If you're swapping coils frequently, leave each coil attached to its own lower shaft so you can pull one shaft out and slide the next one in without handling bolts in the field. The connection should feel secure once the hardware is tightened, if the shaft feels loose or wobbles, check that the bolt is fully seated and the washers are in place. shopify_US_8289783152924_45212816605468 Does this cover fit the newer XP Deus II coils?

The MI-6 pinpointer connects wirelessly to the XP ICON, ICONX, Deus II, Deus, and ORX detectors. The wireless link transmits the pinpointer's audio directly to the detector's headphones, displays a target-zoom graph on the remote control screen, and allows sensitivity adjustments from the detector's menu. The MI-6 can also operate as a standalone pinpointer without wireless connection, using its built-in speaker and three sensitivity levels. For a comparison of wireless and standalone pinpointers, visit our pinpointer metal detectors collection. How deep is the MI-6 waterproof? The MI-6 is waterproof to 6 meters (20 feet). The sealed housing allows full submersion in saltwater surf zones, rivers, and freshwater lakes. The rechargeable lithium-polymer battery and USB charging port are protected by the waterproof seal, and the rotating holster is also submersible. The 20-foot rating matches the Deus II's submersible capability, making the MI-6 suitable for wading and shallow-water hunting. What is the lost-pinpointer recovery mode? The lost-pinpointer recovery mode allows you to locate a misplaced MI-6 even if it has been switched off for weeks. Activate research mode from the Deus II, Deus, or ORX menu, and the detector sends a wireless signal that triggers an alarm on the MI-6. The alarm sounds even when the pinpointer's battery is depleted or the unit has been off for an extended period. This feature is a safeguard in tall grass, brush, or overgrown relic fields where a dropped pinpointer is difficult to spot visually. How long does the MI-6 battery last per charge? The MI-6's rechargeable lithium-polymer battery provides up to 90 hours of use per charge. Actual runtime depends on sensitivity level, audio mode (pitch or pulse), and if the LED and vibrator are enabled. The detector's remote control displays the MI-6's battery level when the units are wirelessly linked, and the pinpointer charges via the included USB cable. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours. Can I adjust the MI-6 sensitivity from the Deus II remote? Yes, when the MI-6 is wirelessly linked to the Deus II, Deus, or ORX, you can adjust sensitivity from 1 to 50 using the detector's menu. The pinpointer's sensitivity changes instantly, and the remote control screen shows the current setting. In standalone mode (no wireless connection), the MI-6 offers three sensitivity levels adjusted by pressing the pinpointer's control button. The 50-level range is available only when linked to a compatible XP detector. What audio modes does the MI-6 offer? The MI-6 offers two audio modes: pitch and pulse. In pitch mode, the audio tone increases in frequency as the pinpointer approaches the target. In pulse mode, the audio emits rapid beeps that speed up near the target. You can select the audio mode from the Deus II, Deus, or ORX menu when the MI-6 is wirelessly linked, or by pressing the pinpointer's control button in standalone mode. Both modes are transmitted to the detector's headphones when the wireless link is active. Does the MI-6 interfere with the Deus II detector during use? No, the MI-6 includes an anti-interference system that prevents cross-talk with the Deus II, Deus, or ORX detector. When you switch on the MI-6, the detector automatically enters standby mode, pausing its detection cycle. When you switch off the MI-6, the detector returns to active detect mode. This system ensures the pinpointer and detector operate on separate channels, eliminating false signals in high-trash environments where both units would otherwise compete. Explore our full range of XP pinpointers for other wireless and standalone options. What is the detection frequency of the MI-6? The MI-6 operates at 12 kHz, a mid-range frequency that provides balanced sensitivity to coin, jewelry, and relic targets. The 12 kHz frequency is stable in mineralized soil and wet sand, and the wireless link to the Deus II or Deus allows real-time sensitivity adjustment from the detector's menu. The MI-6's frequency is fixed and cannot be changed, unlike the Deus II's multi-frequency coils. Is the MI-6 suitable for saltwater beach hunting? Yes, the MI-6 is waterproof to 20 feet and operates stably in saltwater environments. Deus II and Deus owners working wet sand and shallow surf zones benefit from the wireless audio link, which eliminates the need for an external pinpointer speaker that can muffle or fail in saltwater spray. The 12 kHz frequency provides reliable detection of coin and jewelry targets in mineralized wet sand, and the rotating holster clips to a belt or wetsuit strap for quick access.

Regular cleaning extends the case's lifespan and maintains its protective performance. shopify_US_8289297858844_45210995589404 Which XP Deus II components are compatible with the S-Telescopic Dive Shaft? The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft is compatible with all XP Deus II remote controls and FMF coils (9-inch and 11-inch). The shaft is designed to work with Deus II coils without adapters. The handle is the XP S-TELESCOPIC Lite design, which accommodates the standard Deus II remote control holder. The integrated antenna connects wirelessly to the remote control and coil, maintaining the Deus II's cable-free architecture. This shaft does not work with the original XP Deus (Deus I) platform due to different mounting and antenna protocols. For the full range of compatible accessories, visit our XP metal detectors - authorized US dealer collection. How does the collapsed length compare to a standard Deus II shaft? The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft collapses to 45cm (17.7 inches), which is roughly half the length of a standard two-piece Deus II shaft when disassembled. The collapsed profile fits in most dive gear bags, kayak hatches, and boat storage compartments where a full-length shaft would not. When extended, the shaft reaches 75cm (29.5 inches), providing sufficient reach for standing sweeps in shallow water or seated detecting from a boat. The compact collapsed size is the primary advantage for divers who need to transport the detector in tight spaces or pack multiple pieces of gear for a single outing. The shaft holds its extended length under normal sweep forces during detecting. Why does this shaft use a plastic camlock pin instead of stainless steel? The plastic camlock pin prevents the Deus II coil from detecting the fastener during sweeps. Standard XP shafts use a stainless steel pin to secure the pressure plate, but stainless steel is a conductive metal that can trigger false signals when the coil passes over the pin during low, slow sweeps. Underwater detecting amplifies this issue because divers often work at extreme coil angles while navigating uneven bottoms. XP replaced the steel pin with a plastic pin on the Dive Shaft to eliminate this interference, which is detailed alongside other advanced engineering features on our metal detector technologies overview page. Can I use the S-Telescopic Dive Shaft on land for regular detecting? Yes, the S-Telescopic Dive Shaft works on land and is an excellent, lightweight option for youth detectorists up to 1.2 meters (about 4 feet) tall. The compact settings reduce arm fatigue for shorter operators who struggle with full-sized frames. Adult detectorists can also use it on land, though the maximum extended length of 75cm is shorter than standard land stems and may require a more bent posture during sweeps. While its primary design intent is diving, its rapid deployment and small footprint make it a practical, highly packable alternative for quick park hunts or travel scenarios where gear bag space is limited. Does the integrated antenna affect wireless range or signal stability? The integrated antenna provides wireless connectivity to the remote control and coil. XP routed the antenna inside the shaft to protect the connection from physical damage during dives, where external cables can snag on kelp, rocks, and submerged structures. The integrated design eliminates one failure point compared to shafts with external antenna cables, which can develop breaks at the connection points after repeated flexing. The antenna is built into the shaft structure and maintains the Deus II's cable-free architecture. This internal routing protects the antenna connection from the harsh underwater environment while preserving the wireless communication between the detector components. What is the weight difference between the Dive Shaft and a standard Deus II shaft? The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft weighs 285 grams (10 ounces). The reduced weight matters underwater, where neutral buoyancy and arm fatigue are primary concerns during long dives. The lightweight construction does not compromise rigidity: the monobloc lower stem design eliminates the wobble common in multi-piece shafts, keeping the coil stable during slow sweeps over uneven bottoms. The weight savings come from the compact telescoping mechanism and the elimination of redundant hardware found on adjustable shafts. For detectorists comparing shaft options across the XP accessory line, visit our metal detector parts & accessories collection. How does the lanyard attachment point work with the remote control holder? The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft includes a dedicated lanyard attachment point on the holder for securing the Deus II remote control. The attachment point allows you to secure a lanyard from the remote control to the shaft. This prevents the remote control from sinking or drifting away if it detaches from the holder during a dive. The lanyard attachment is a dive-specific feature not found on standard land shafts, where losing the remote control is less of a concern. Divers typically use a short coiled lanyard or a fixed-length tether clipped to the remote control's lanyard loop and the shaft's attachment point. The remote control installs and removes with a quick-release mechanism. Is the S-Telescopic Dive Shaft waterproof to the same depth as the Deus II detector? The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft is fully waterproof and designed for underwater use with the Deus II detector. The shaft's construction features an integrated antenna, plastic camlock pin, and monobloc lower stem that support diving applications. The shaft does not have external cable entry points that would compromise waterproof performance. When using the detector for diving, the XP Waterproof Kit is required for the remote control and coil. The shaft itself is built to withstand underwater conditions and complements the Deus II's diving capabilities. For specific depth ratings and diving requirements, consult the XP Waterproof Kit specifications and the Deus II user manual. Can I adjust the shaft length while underwater, or do I need to set it before the dive? The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft extends from 45cm when collapsed to 75cm when fully extended. Most divers set the shaft to the extended position before entering the water and leave it extended for the duration of the dive, as the extended length provides better reach and leverage during sweeps. The telescoping design allows the shaft to be adjusted between these two positions as needed. The compact collapsed length is useful for transport and storage, while the extended length provides the working reach needed for effective detecting in shallow water environments. The shaft maintains its set length during normal detecting operations. What maintenance does the S-Telescopic Dive Shaft require after saltwater use? The S-Telescopic Dive Shaft requires freshwater rinsing after every saltwater dive to prevent salt buildup in the telescoping mechanism and around the plastic camlock pin. Rinse the shaft with freshwater after saltwater use, paying attention to the coil mount area and the remote control holder, as salt can accumulate in the crevices and cause corrosion over time. After rinsing, allow the shaft to air dry in a shaded area before storing. The metal coil mount hardware benefits from occasional inspection and replacement if you notice pitting or rough threads. For additional care guidance, consult the XP Deus II user manual available on the manufacturer's technical support page. shopify_US_8289783218460_45212816703772 Which XP Deus handle models does this locking hardware kit fit?

Without the adapter, the wristband still provides full control pod functionality and target ID display. Browse metal detector parts and accessories for compatible adapters and headphones. Is the wristband waterproof or submersible? The wristband is rainproof, meaning it protects the WS4 or WS6 control pod from rain, splashing surf, and surface moisture during wet-weather hunts. It is not submersible and should not be used for underwater detecting. The WS4 and WS6 control pods themselves are not rated for submersion, so the wristband's rainproof construction is designed to handle surface water only. Beach hunters working the wet sand line and park detectorists hunting in steady rain will find the wristband adequate for those conditions, but divers and shallow-water waders should use XP's dedicated waterproof housing instead. Does the wristband come with the WS4 or WS6 control pod? The wristband is sold separately and does not include the WS4 or WS6 control pod, the headphones, or the optional headphone adapter. You must already own the WS4 backphones (for Deus) or WS6 backphones (for Deus II) to use the wristband. The control pod unclips from the backphone module and inserts into the wristband's silicone housing. If you do not yet own the WS4 or WS6 headphones, order them separately before purchasing the wristband. Can I adjust the wristband to fit over a heavy coat? The wristband's silicone strap is adjustable and designed to fit over heavy coats, insulated jackets, and wetsuits. Detectorists hunting in sub-freezing temperatures or wearing layered clothing can expand the strap to accommodate bulky sleeves without removing gloves or unzipping layers. This adjustability makes the wristband practical for winter relic hunting and cold-water beach detecting, where other mounting options would interfere with clothing or require exposed skin contact in harsh conditions. shopify_US_8289703887132_45212559606044 Which XP Deus coils does this cover fit? This coil cover fits the XP Metal Detectors new-version Standard 9-inch DD coil, identifiable by the longer XP logo that extends from the coil tip nearly to the coil ears. It also fits the Deus II 9-inch FMF round coil, the Deus X35 9-inch round coil, and the Deus HF 9-inch round coil. The key identifier is the new-style housing with the extended logo, which differs from older Deus coils with shorter branding. If your 9-inch Deus coil has the longer logo placement, this cover will snap on securely. How do I tell if I have the new-version or old-version Deus coil? The new-version XP Deus 9-inch coil has a longer XP logo that runs from the tip of the coil nearly to the coil ears, while the old-version coil has a shorter logo positioned closer to the center. Look at the top surface of your coil: if the logo extends most of the length toward the mounting ears, you have the new version and this cover will fit. If the logo is compact and centered, you have the older style and need a different cover. The housing design also differs between versions, so the extended logo is the most reliable visual identifier for compatibility. Does the coil cover affect detection depth or sensitivity? This coil cover does not affect detection depth or sensitivity on the XP Deus platform. The reinforced polymer material is non-metallic and thin enough that it sits safely outside the coil's electromagnetic field—a crucial factor when dealing with highly sensitive metal detector technologies. Signal transmission and ground balance remain unchanged. We've run side-by-side depth tests on air-test targets and buried coins with and without the cover installed, and the results are identical. The cover adds negligible weight, so swing fatigue stays the same. How do I install the coil cover on my Deus coil? Installing the XP Deus 9-inch coil cover takes under 30 seconds with a snap-on fit. Align the cover's mounting tabs with the coil housing, starting at the tip and working toward the ears, then press firmly around the perimeter until you hear or feel the cover snap into place. No tools or adhesive are required. The cross-pattern tread should face downward toward the ground. To remove the cover for cleaning or inspection, peel it off starting from one edge and work around the perimeter. The cover stays secure during aggressive ground scrubbing but removes easily when needed. Will this cover fit the XP Deus II elliptical coils? No, this cover is designed specifically for 9-inch round XP Deus coils and will not fit the elliptical coil shapes offered for the Deus II. The Deus II elliptical coils have a different housing geometry that requires a dedicated elliptical cover. This cover fits only the round 9-inch coils: the new-version Standard DD, the Deus II 9-inch FMF, the X35 9-inch, and the HF 9-inch round coils. Check our wider selection of metal detector parts & accessories for elliptical-specific covers if you run those coil shapes. How thick is the coil cover material? The XP Deus 9-inch coil cover uses thin reinforced polymer construction, measured at the flat sections between the cross-pattern ridges. The reinforced rim is slightly thicker to absorb edge impacts from rocks and curbs. This construction provides meaningful abrasion protection without adding noticeable weight or altering the coil's ground clearance. The material flexes slightly on impact to absorb shock rather than transferring the force directly to the coil housing, which prevents stress cracks over time. We've run these covers through hundreds of hours of rocky-ground hunting, and the polymer shows deep scuff marks while the coil underneath remains undamaged. Can I use this cover on the original XP Deus coils from 2009-2012? This cover is designed for the new-version XP Deus 9-inch coil with the extended logo, which was introduced after the original Deus coils. The original Deus coils have a different housing shape and logo placement, so this cover may not fit securely. If you own an early Deus coil, check the logo length: if it extends nearly to the coil ears, this cover will fit. If the logo is short and centered, you need the older-style cover designed for the original housing. Contact an authorized XP dealer to confirm the correct cover for your specific coil version. shopify_US_8289782825244_45212816048412 Which XP detectors does the USB 1 cable work with? The XP Deus USB 1 Cable works with the XP Deus and XP ORX remote controls, as well as the Deus wireless headset, Deus coil, and XP pinpointer. The mini-B connector fits the charge port on all these wireless modules, so one cable covers firmware updates for the Deus and ORX remotes plus charging for the entire Deus system. If you run both a Deus and an ORX, this cable handles updates and charging for both platforms. Can I use this cable to charge my XP Deus coil and headset? Yes, the USB 1 Cable charges the XP Deus coil, wireless headset, remote control, and pinpointer. Plug the mini-B end into the charge port on any of these components and connect the USB-A end to a standard USB power source like a wall adapter, laptop, or car charger. The cable consolidates charging for all Deus wireless modules into one cable, eliminating the need to carry separate chargers in the field. This single cable solution simplifies your charging setup whether you're at home or traveling to detecting sites. How do I download firmware updates to my Deus remote with this cable? Connect the USB 1 Cable's mini-B end to your Deus or ORX remote control's charge port, then plug the USB-A end into your computer. Download XP's update software from the XP website, launch the program, and follow the on-screen prompts to install the latest firmware version to your remote. XP releases periodic firmware updates that improve detector performance, so checking for updates every few months keeps your detector running the latest system version. For step-by-step guidance, visit our metal detector technologies page. Is this the original XP cable or a third-party replacement? This is the original OEM cable from XP Metal Detectors, the same cable that ships with new Deus and ORX detectors.

XP does not publish an exact cable length specification on the manufacturer page, but the USB 1 Cable is designed to connect a detector component to a USB power source or laptop. The cable is long enough to reach from a desk or truck console USB port to a detector remote or coil placed on the seat, but it is not a field-length extension cable. If you need to charge from a wall outlet across a room, pair the cable with a standard USB wall adapter and extension cord. The cable's compact design makes it easy to pack in your detector bag or vehicle. Can I use any mini-B USB cable instead of the XP cable? While many mini-B USB cables physically fit the Deus charge port, using the OEM cable ensures compatibility with XP's charging and update systems. The XP cable is designed specifically for the Deus and ORX platforms, providing the correct electrical specifications these detectors require. Generic cables may not deliver the proper charging profile or data transfer capabilities needed for firmware updates. For reliable performance and peace of mind, the original XP cable is the recommended choice for both charging and updating your detector components. shopify_US_8289782071580_45212814639388 Is the XP Deus fully waterproof? The XP Deus's 9-inch X35 coil and lower shaft are waterproof, allowing you to hunt wet sand and wade shallow surf. The WS4 headphones are splash-resistant and handle rain and spray, but the headphone housing is not submersible. You can detect in streams and at the beach waterline, but do not submerge the headphones or use the detector for underwater diving. The wireless architecture eliminates cable moisture intrusion points that plague wired detectors in wet conditions. What batteries does the XP Deus use and how long do they last? The XP Deus runs on three lithium batteries, one in the coil, one in the WS4 headphones, and one in the optional remote control (not included in this configuration). The coil battery delivers approximately 20 hours of runtime depending on power and frequency settings, and the WS4 headphone battery lasts around 27 hours. The included USB cable recharges all three components simultaneously in under three hours, and XP covers the batteries under a two-year warranty. Lithium cells hold charge during storage better than alkaline or NiMH, so the detector is ready after weeks in the truck. Can I use the XP Deus without the remote control? The XP Deus operates in headphone-only mode using the WS4 wireless backphone headphones, which include a full control interface and screen. This configuration does not include the remote control, and the WS4 headset drives the detector alone. You can adjust all main settings (frequency, discrimination, ground balance, sensitivity, audio) from the headphone controls, and the detector's weight drops to 1 pound 15 ounces without the remote. Headphone-only operation is ideal for detectorists who want the lightest possible swing weight and don't need the remote's larger screen. What coil sizes are compatible with the XP Deus? The XP Deus accepts five coil models in the X35 and HF (high-frequency) series, ranging from 9 inches to 11 inches in the X35 line and smaller HF coils for gold prospecting. This SKU ships with the 9-inch X35 DD waterproof coil, which balances depth and maneuverability for coin and relic hunting. The 11-inch X35 coil is available for open field hunting, and the HF elliptical coils (sold separately) reach higher frequencies for small gold nuggets. All XP coils are wireless and hot-swappable, you can change coils in the field without tools and the detector auto-detects the new coil's frequency range. Browse our waterproof coil collection for compatible upgrades. What is the warranty on the XP Deus? The XP Deus ships with a five-year parts and labor warranty from XP Metal Detectors, covering defects in materials and workmanship. The lithium batteries carry a separate two-year warranty. XP is a French manufacturer and the Deus is certified LONGTIME (designed to last), and authorized dealers like Serious Detecting provide warranty service and software update support. Register your detector on XP's website after purchase to activate the warranty and access firmware updates that add features and improve performance over the detector's lifespan. Does the XP Deus have ground balance? The XP Deus includes automatic tracking ground balance, manual ground balance, and pumping (semi-automatic) ground balance modes. Tracking mode auto-adjusts as you walk across mineralized soil or beach sand, manual mode lets you lock a ground balance setting for consistent performance in uniform terrain, and pumping mode samples the ground when you pump the coil over clean soil. The detector also offers a beach mode preset that compensates for wet saltwater sand, and you can save ground balance settings in each of the nine factory programs. For tips on ground balancing in different soil types, see our beginner walkthrough. Can I connect a pinpointer to the XP Deus? The XP Deus is compatible with the XP MI-6 wireless pinpointer, which connects to the detector via the same 36-channel digital radio link. When paired, the MI-6's audio feeds through your WS4 headphones so you hear the pinpointer without removing the headset, and the detector's screen displays the pinpointer's signal strength. This configuration does not include the MI-6 pinpointer (sold separately), but the wireless architecture supports it when you add one later. The MI-6 is the only pinpointer that integrates with the Deus's wireless system; wired pinpointers work as standalone tools but do not connect to the detector. How many frequencies does the XP Deus offer? The XP Deus with the 9-inch X35 coil offers 35 selectable operating frequencies ranging from 3.7 to 27.7 kHz. You can tune the frequency to match your target type or avoid electromagnetic interference from power lines, and the detector stores your frequency choice in each of the nine factory programs. Higher frequencies (above 15 kHz) favor small gold and low-conductors like nickels, while mid-range frequencies (8 to 12 kHz) balance depth and sensitivity for coins and jewelry. The XP Deus WS4 Master configurations all share this 35-frequency range. shopify_US_8289783939356_45212818047260 Can the WS4 control the XP Deus without the remote control? The WS4 can control the XP Deus without the remote control, giving you access to all primary detector settings directly from the headset. You can adjust sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance, frequency selection across 35 steps from 3.7 to 27.7 kHz, audio response modes (1, 2, 3, 4-tone, full tones, and pitch), reactivity, TX power, tracking, frequency offset, and iron volume. The headset also displays target conductivity readings and battery status for both the headset and coil. This lets you run the Deus in a lighter configuration when you don't need the remote's advanced features or prefer to keep your setup minimal. How long does the WS4 battery last on a single charge? The WS4 battery lasts 27 hours on a single charge, which covers multi-day hunting trips without needing to recharge between sessions. The headset uses a lithium rechargeable battery that reaches full charge in 2 hours via USB connection. The WS4 displays battery status for both itself and the connected coil on its LCD screen, so you can monitor remaining runtime during a hunt. For reference, 27 hours of battery life is enough for a full weekend of detecting with typical daily hunt durations of 6 to 8 hours. Is the WS4 waterproof or only rain-resistant? The WS4 is rain-resistant, not fully waterproof or submersible. It handles wet-weather hunting and saltwater spray on beach hunts, but you should not submerge the headset in water or use it for underwater detecting. The rain-resistant construction protects the electronics from moisture exposure during typical field conditions like light rain, fog, or splash from wet sand. If you need to hunt in heavy rain or fully submersible conditions, keep the WS4 protected or consider XP's fully waterproof headphone options for those scenarios. Can I use the WS4 earpiece separately from the backphone? The WS4 earpiece detaches from the backphone with a single press, letting you use the control module separately. Once detached, you can mount the earpiece on the detector shaft using XP's optional shaft bracket, wear it on your wrist with XP's optional wrist strap, or carry it in a pocket. This configuration lets you pair the WS4 control module with wired headphones via XP's optional Clip Jack adapter, useful for cold-weather hunts where you want insulated over-ear headphones or high-noise environments where isolation matters. The detached earpiece still provides full detector control and display functionality. Learn more about detector control interfaces and wireless technologies on our metal detector technologies page. Does the WS4 work with XP detectors other than the Deus? The WS4 is designed specifically for the XP Deus and works with all Deus versions. It does not pair with other XP detector models like the ORX or older XP detectors. If you own an XP ORX, that detector uses the WSAUDIO headphones instead. Each XP detector family has dedicated wireless accessories that match its control protocol and frequency range, so cross-compatibility between detector generations is limited. The WS4 provides full control functionality for the Deus system, including sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance, frequency selection, and audio response settings. What programs can I access from the WS4 headset? The WS4 gives you access to 10 factory programs plus 8 user-customizable program slots. Factory programs cover common hunt scenarios like general-purpose detecting, relic hunting, fast reactivity for trashy sites, and beach modes. You can create and save custom programs with your preferred sensitivity, discrimination, frequency, ground balance, and audio settings, then recall them from the WS4 during a hunt. Program switching from the headset is faster than pulling a remote from a pouch when you move between different ground conditions or target types. The headset interface lets you adjust all primary detector parameters including the 35 available frequencies from 3.7 to 27.7 kHz. shopify_US_8289760674076_45212767944988 Does the XP Deus stem mount work with both WS4 and WS6 headphones? The XP Deus stem mount works with both WS4 and WS6 backphone headphones, providing universal compatibility across XP Metal Detectors' wireless display modules. The bracket design accommodates the mounting points on both models, so you can use the same stem mount whether you own a WS4-equipped Deus or a WS6-equipped system. The mount attaches to the standard XP Deus S-Telescopic stem and holds the headphone module securely during detector swing motion. XP designed the mount for quick installation, allowing you to switch between wearing the headphones and stem-mounting the display based on site conditions or personal preference. Can I still use wireless audio when the WS4 or WS6 is mounted to the stem? You maintain full wireless audio functionality when the WS4 or WS6 is mounted to the stem, as the module continues to receive audio signals from the XP Deus coil via the wireless link. All target tones, threshold hum, and audio feedback play through the headphone speakers even when the module is bracket-mounted rather than worn on your head. If you prefer not to wear the backphones, you can add the optional Clip Jack adapter to connect wired headphones or an external speaker to the stem-mounted module. The wireless connection between coil and display module remains active regardless of mounting method, preserving real-time audio and display updates. How do I install the stem mount on my XP Deus detector? Installing the stem mount on your XP Deus detector requires no tools and takes under a minute. The bracket clamps onto the XP Deus S-Telescopic stem at a height that positions the WS4 or WS6 display at eye level during normal swing posture. You slide the headphone module into the bracket's mounting slots, secure the retention mechanism, and adjust the angle for optimal screen visibility. XP designed the mount for field-removable installation, so you can switch between headphone wear and stem mounting mid-hunt if conditions change. The bracket holds the module firmly during swing motion, preventing rotation or slippage across varied terrain. Does stem mounting the display affect my XP Deus detector's balance? Stem mounting the WS4 or WS6 display shifts the detector's balance point slightly rearward compared to wearing the headphones on your head, as the module's weight moves from your head to the upper shaft. Most detectorists adapt to the new balance within the first 20 minutes of a hunt, and the weight redistribution often reduces arm fatigue during long sessions by moving mass closer to your grip hand. The stem-mounted configuration concentrates more weight on the shaft, which some users find easier to control during fast swing speeds or in tight brush. If you prefer a lighter upper shaft, you can revert to wearing the headphones at any time. The mount's secure attachment ensures the module stays firmly in place during normal detecting motion. Can I use the stem mount with the XP Deus remote control? You can use the stem mount with the XP Deus remote control, running a three-component wireless system where the coil communicates with both the stem-mounted WS4/WS6 display and the wrist-mounted remote. This configuration gives you dual control points, with the stem-mounted module providing visual feedback and the remote offering tactile program switching and sensitivity adjustment. Detectorists hunting high-interference sites or working in gloves often prefer the remote for quick setting changes while keeping the stem-mounted display visible for target ID and depth readouts. The XP wireless protocol supports simultaneous communication with multiple modules, maintaining signal integrity across all three components. For more on XP's wireless architecture, see our metal detector technologies guide. Is the stem mount waterproof like the WS4 and WS6 headphones? The stem mount bracket is built from durable materials suitable for field use, but XP does not specify a waterproof rating for the mount itself. The WS4 and WS6 headphone modules remain shower-proof when stem-mounted, as their sealed construction protects internal electronics from rain and splash. Detectorists hunting in wet conditions can use the stem-mounted configuration without concern for light rain or spray, but full submersion of the stem-mounted module is not recommended unless you are using the XP Waterproof Kit, which seals the entire detector system for underwater operation. The bracket's mechanical components tolerate moisture exposure typical of field detecting.

The WS5 headphones can control the XP Deus without the remote by using the integrated LCD display to adjust all detector settings. You can change discrimination, sensitivity, ground balance, frequency selection, tone modes, factory programs, volume, reactivity, transmit power, and other parameters directly from the headphones. This standalone operation eliminates the need to carry the remote, reducing system weight and simplifying your setup to just the coil and headphones. The WS5 accesses the same 10 factory programs and 8 user-customizable program slots that the remote provides. Are the WS5 headphones compatible with the XP Deus II? The WS5 headphones are not compatible with the XP Deus II metal detector. They are designed exclusively for the original XP Deus platform and use a wireless protocol specific to that system. If you own a Deus II, you'll need headphones from XP's newer product line that support the Deus II's updated wireless communication standard. The WS5 works only with the first-generation Deus detector and its coils.The WS5 headphones are not compatible with the XP Deus II metal detector. They are designed exclusively for the original first-generation XP Deus platform and use a legacy wireless protocol specific to that system. If you own a Deus II, you will need to choose from the newer generation of XP metal detectors and accessories engineered for the updated fast-wireless architecture. How many frequencies can I select from the WS5 headphones? The WS5 headphones provide access to 35 frequencies ranging from 3.7 kHz to 27.7 kHz on the XP Deus. You select the frequency directly from the headphone's LCD interface, allowing you to match ground mineralization and target types without needing the remote. Lower frequencies penetrate deeper and work well for large relics, while higher frequencies improve sensitivity to small gold and low-conductivity targets. The wide frequency range gives you flexibility to adapt to changing soil conditions during a hunt, and you can adjust frequency offset to minimize electromagnetic interference from power lines or other detectors. What tone options are available on the WS5? The WS5 offers five multi-tone profiles, a full-tones mode, and a pitch mode for audio feedback on the XP Deus. Multi-tone profiles assign different audio pitches to conductivity ranges, helping you distinguish coin targets from iron and foil in trashy sites. Full-tones mode provides a continuous pitch spectrum across the conductivity scale for nuanced target identification. Pitch mode varies tone frequency based on signal strength, useful for pinpointing and working high-trash environments. You switch between these modes using the headphone display, and each mode pairs with adjustable iron volume and audio response settings to fine-tune your audio cues. How long does the WS5 battery last per charge? The WS5 battery delivers extended runtime per charge, with duration varying based on your Deus configuration and settings. XP's lithium battery technology provides reliable session length for full-day hunts, and the headphone display shows real-time charge status for both the headphones and the coil so you can monitor power levels. Charging takes 2 hours via USB, and the battery is covered by XP's 2-year battery warranty. For detectorists working remote sites or multi-day events, carrying a USB power bank ensures you can recharge between sessions without returning to a vehicle. Are the WS5 headphones waterproof for underwater detecting? The WS5 headphones are weatherproof and sealed against rain, but they are not rated for underwater submersion. They handle wet conditions common on saltwater beaches, spring field hunts, and light rain without issue, protecting the electronics and LCD display from moisture. If you're wading in shallow water or working the surf zone, the WS5 stays functional as long as the headphones remain above the waterline. For fully submerged detecting with waterproof Deus coils, you'll need to use the remote or a different headphone model rated for underwater use. The weatherproof construction does make the WS5 a solid choice for detectorists who frequently hunt in damp or rainy environments. Can I store custom programs on the WS5 headphones? Yes. The WS5 headphones store 8 user-customizable programs alongside 10 factory configurations. You can adjust discrimination, sensitivity, and frequency parameters directly from the interface, saving your setups for rapid deployment across changing soil profiles. To see how these configurations compare to basic audio components, explore our guide on metal detector headphones functionality. What is the foldable design advantage of the WS5? The WS5 features a robust, fully foldable frame where the over-ear cups collapse flat against the headband. This reduces the headphone's profile so it fits easily into compact gear packs or carry bags without taking up excessive space. While highly portable for travel, the mechanical hinges retain a secure, noise-isolating fit in high-wind environments. Does the WS5 display show target conductivity readings? The WS5 display shows target conductivity readings in real time as you sweep the coil over a target, giving you a numeric reference to help identify coins, relics, and trash before digging. The conductivity scale on the Deus ranges from ferrous to high-conductivity targets, and the LCD updates with each signal so you can verify marginal or mixed targets. This visual feedback complements the audio tones and is especially useful in high-trash sites where you're deciding if a signal is worth investigating. The display also shows discrimination patterns, ground balance settings, frequency, and battery status, consolidating all detector information in one interface. For detectorists who prefer visual confirmation alongside audio cues, the WS5's LCD provides the same data readout as the Deus remote. shopify_US_8289481097500_45211899986204 Which detectors is the XP Deus X35 11-inch coil compatible with? The XP Deus X35 11-inch coil is compatible with the XP DEUS (original) and the XP ORX. It is not compatible with the XP DEUS II, which uses the FMF coil series. DEUS and ORX owners can swap this coil onto their existing lower rod using the included hardware, and the wireless pairing process matches the steps for any X35-series coil. If you own a DEUS II, you'll need an FMF coil instead. How deep is the X35 11-inch coil waterproof? The X35 11-inch coil is waterproof to 6 meters (20 feet). The wireless electronics are sealed inside the coil housing, so you can wade rivers, hunt surf zones, and work shallow lake edges without worrying about submersion damage. The 20-foot rating clears most recreational diving scenarios detectorists encounter, though you'll want to confirm your headphones or remote control also carry the same waterproof rating before submerging the full system. What is the runtime on a full charge? The X35 11-inch coil delivers up to 15 hours of runtime on a full charge. Actual battery life depends on the frequency you select and the TX power setting you run, higher frequencies and higher power draw more current. Most detectorists get a full day of hunting from a single charge when running mid-band frequencies at moderate power, and the coil recharges using XP's standard charging pince. How does the 11-inch size compare to the 9-inch and 13x11 coils in the X35 family? The 11-inch coil sits between the 9-inch and 13x11 sizes in coverage and weight. The 9-inch excels in dense trash and tight sites where maneuverability matters more than depth, while the 13x11 elliptical opens coverage on plowed ground and pushes depth on larger targets. The 11-inch balances those extremes, handling day-to-day mixed conditions without the swing weight of the larger coil or the coverage limitation of the smaller disc. Detectorists who hunt varied terrain often keep the 11-inch mounted as their daily driver and swap to the 9-inch or 13x11 only when the site demands it. Can I use the X35 11-inch coil in saltwater? Yes, the X35 11-inch coil handles saltwater environments. The 6-meter waterproof rating clears surf hunting and wading, and the frequency flexibility lets you shift to a lower band when saltwater mineralization causes ground noise. Run the coil in the 4 or 8 kHz base on wet sand for better ground stability, and use the frequency offsets to clear interference from other detectors on crowded beaches. The wireless design eliminates cable corrosion, a common failure point for wired coils in saltwater. Does the X35 11-inch coil come with a cover? Yes, the X35 11-inch coil ships with a coil cover, lower pole section, and hardware kit. The cover protects the coil shell from abrasion on rocky ground and hardpan, and it installs without tools by stretching over the coil perimeter. Replacing a worn cover is far cheaper than repairing a cracked coil shell, so we recommend keeping the cover installed during field use and inspecting it periodically for tears or thin spots. shopify_US_8289480999196_45211899822364 Which XP detectors is the X35 9-inch coil compatible with? The X35 9-inch coil is compatible with the XP DEUS running version 5 firmware and the XP ORX. It is not compatible with the DEUS II, which uses the FMF coil platform. DEUS owners need to verify they are running firmware version 5 or later for full frequency access and Boost mode functionality. The coil pairs wirelessly with the remote control and headphones, maintaining the cable-free design of the DEUS and ORX systems. If you are unsure about your DEUS firmware version, our metal detecting tips and FAQs page covers XP firmware updates and compatibility checks. What frequencies does the X35 9-inch coil support? The X35 9-inch coil supports 35 selectable frequencies organized into five base bands: 3.7 to 4.4 kHz, 7.1 to 8.4 kHz, 10.5 to 12.4 kHz, 15.2 to 17.8 kHz, and 23.5 to 27.7 kHz. Each base frequency has seven offset options, allowing you to shift away from electromagnetic interference or noisy ground conditions without leaving your preferred frequency range. The low-frequency band includes a Boost mode that increases transmission power for deeper detection on high-conductivity targets like large silver coins and copper relics. Frequency selection is controlled through the DEUS remote or ORX keypad. Is the X35 9-inch coil waterproof? The X35 9-inch coil is waterproof to 6 meters, which is approximately 20 feet. The coil housing, lower pole section, and all electronic components are sealed for full submersion, making it suitable for wading, surf hunting, and shallow diving. The wireless electronics inside the coil are protected from saltwater and freshwater exposure. The coil cover is included and provides additional abrasion protection during underwater hunts. Rinse the coil and lower pole with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion on the mounting hardware. What is Boost mode on the X35 coil? Boost mode is a high-power transmission option available on the low-frequency band of the X35 coil, specifically on frequencies from 3.7 to 4.4 kHz. When activated, Boost mode significantly increases the coil's transmission power, extending detection depth on highly conductive targets such as large silver coins, copper artifacts, and cache finds. The mode is most effective in low-mineralization soil where ground conditions allow deeper penetration. Battery life is reduced to approximately 6 hours in Boost mode compared to standard operation. Boost mode is controlled through the DEUS remote or ORX keypad and is best used selectively during hunts targeting deep high-conductivity targets. How does the 9-inch X35 coil compare to the 11-inch X35 coil? The 9-inch X35 coil has a smaller footprint than the 11-inch model, providing tighter target separation in iron-contaminated sites and better maneuverability in tight-access areas like dense brush or between foundation stones. The 11-inch coil covers more ground per swing and reaches deeper on large targets in clean soil, making it a better choice for open fields and low-trash sites. Both coils support the same 35 frequencies and Boost mode, and both are waterproof to 6 meters. Detectorists working trashy parks, cellar holes, and historical sites with high iron density typically prefer the 9-inch for its ability to isolate targets in dense debris. If you hunt a mix of clean and trashy sites, explore the full range of round metal detector search coils to find the best balance for your conditions. What comes in the box with the X35 9-inch coil? The X35 9-inch coil package includes the coil itself, a protective coil cover, a lower pole section, and a hardware kit for mounting the coil to the DEUS or ORX shaft. The coil cover is pre-fitted and protects the coil housing from abrasion during ground contact. The lower pole section connects the coil to the middle shaft section of the detector. The hardware kit includes the necessary screws and washers for secure mounting. The X35 coil pairs wirelessly with the DEUS or ORX system, eliminating cable connections and maintaining the detector's modular design. The coil's wireless electronics communicate with the remote control and headphones, allowing you to adjust frequencies, sensitivity, and discrimination settings on the fly. Can I use the X35 9-inch coil in saltwater? The X35 9-inch coil is waterproof to 6 meters and is fully functional in saltwater environments, including surf hunting and wading in saltwater beaches. The coil's frequency range and DD configuration provide stable operation in wet sand and saltwater, and the wireless design eliminates cable corrosion concerns. Run mid-band or high-band frequencies for better saltwater stability, and use the frequency offset options to reduce ground noise in highly mineralized black sand. Rinse the coil, lower pole, and mounting hardware with fresh water after each saltwater hunt to prevent salt buildup and corrosion. Our team runs the X35 coils on East Coast beaches and finds the 9-inch size effective for working the wet sand line and shallow water zones. Does the X35 9-inch coil work with the DEUS II? The X35 9-inch coil is not compatible with the DEUS II. The DEUS II uses a different coil platform and communication protocol than the X35 system. The X35 coil is designed for the original DEUS (version 5 firmware or later) and the ORX. DEUS II owners looking for a compact coil option should consider the coils designed specifically for that detector. If you own a DEUS or ORX and are looking for additional coil options, browse our full selection of metal detector search coils to compare sizes and configurations. The X35 coil's 35-frequency range and Boost mode make it a versatile upgrade for DEUS and ORX users hunting a variety of soil conditions and target types. shopify_US_8289327055132_45211155136796 Which XP detectors work with the FX-03 headphones? The FX-03 headphones are compatible with the XP Deus, Deus II, and ORX metal detectors. All three platforms use a 3.5mm headphone jack that accepts the FX-03's wired connection, and the 30-ohm impedance matches the audio output specifications XP designed for these detectors. Detectorists who own multiple XP models can use one FX-03 headphone across their entire detector collection without needing separate headphones for each machine. The wired connection works with both the original Deus and the newer Deus II platform, so the FX-03 remains compatible across XP's product generations. Does the FX-03 require batteries or charging? The FX-03 is a wired headphone that draws power directly from the detector's headphone jack, so it requires no batteries and never needs charging. Detectorists who hunt in remote areas or run multi-day trips eliminate the battery management and charging infrastructure that wireless headphones demand. The wired connection also removes the pairing steps and wireless dropouts that can occur with Bluetooth or proprietary wireless systems, so the FX-03 delivers audio as soon as you plug the 3.5mm jack into the detector. This makes the FX-03 a reliable backup headphone for detectorists who carry wireless models but want a zero-maintenance alternative when battery access is limited. How does the behind-the-head design perform in dense brush? The FX-03's neckband design anchors the headphones at the base of the skull where branch contact is less frequent than the top-of-head position that over-ear headphones occupy. Detectorists hunting overgrown homesites, wooded relic sites, or brush-choked parks push through low branches and saplings that catch on protruding headphone frames, and the FX-03's low-profile neckband reduces that snagging. The behind-the-head position also keeps the bulk of the headphone frame away from the forward line of sight, so branches approaching from the front are less likely to hook the headphone structure during entry into dense cover. Can I adjust the volume without touching the detector? The FX-03 includes an inline volume control wheel mounted on the cable. Detectorists can rotate the wheel with one hand to adjust audio level mid-hunt without pausing to navigate the detector's menu system or reach for the control box. This inline control is faster than menu-based volume adjustments when you need to reduce audio during a loud target response or increase volume in windy conditions. The wheel's tactile rotation provides feedback even when wearing gloves, so you can make volume changes without looking at the control or removing your eyes from the ground. The inline volume control eliminates the need to interrupt your hunt to access the detector's settings menu for audio adjustments. What is the cable length and routing on the FX-03? The FX-03 uses a single-sided cable that connects to the detector's headphone jack. Single-sided cable routing keeps one side of the body clear and prevents the cable from crossing the chest or interfering with arm swing during coil sweeps. The cable design provides sufficient length to reach XP detector headphone jacks without creating excess slack that snags on vegetation during field use. To understand how these systems compare to wireless setups, you can read our breakdown on metal detector technologies. The single-sided configuration is a common design choice for field headphones because it reduces cable tangling and simplifies routing during active detecting. How does the 30-ohm impedance affect audio quality? The FX-03's 30-ohm impedance matches the audio output specifications that XP designed for the Deus, Deus II, and ORX headphone jacks, so the headphones deliver clear target tones without distortion or volume loss. Impedance mismatch between headphones and detector can cause weak audio, clipped peaks, or frequency response imbalance, but the FX-03's 30-ohm rating ensures proper electrical loading of the detector's amplifier circuit. Detectorists running high-gain programs or hunting in high-trash environments get consistent audio response across the full volume range without the muddiness or harshness that mismatched impedance introduces. Is the FX-03 foldable for transport? The FX-03 features a foldable frame that collapses the ear cups inward toward the neckband, reducing the overall footprint to a compact size that fits in a coat pocket or small pack compartment. Detectorists who travel light or carry multiple accessories in a small pack benefit from the FX-03's packability compared to rigid over-ear headphones that require dedicated storage cases. The foldable design also protects the ear cup foam and speaker grilles from crushing when packed alongside other gear. The compact folded configuration makes the FX-03 an excellent choice for detectorists who prioritize portability and minimal storage requirements in their field kit. Can I use the FX-03 with non-XP detectors? The FX-03 will physically connect to any detector with a 3.5mm headphone jack, but the 30-ohm impedance is optimized for XP's audio output specifications. Detectors from other manufacturers may use different impedance targets (8-ohm, 16-ohm, or higher), and connecting the FX-03 to those machines can result in volume mismatch, frequency response shifts, or amplifier loading issues. If you own XP metal detectors and want a universal wired headphone, the FX-03 is the best match, but detectorists running mixed-brand detector collections should verify impedance compatibility before using the FX-03 with non-XP machines. How do I clean the FX-03 ear cup foam? Consult XP documentation for cleaning guidance on the FX-03 ear cup foam pads. Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of the foam and prevents odor buildup from sweat and field debris accumulated during extended hunts. Replacing worn foam pads is simpler and cheaper than replacing the entire headphone assembly when the cushions degrade from normal field use. To clean the FX-03 ear cup foam pads, gently wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild, soapy water, ensuring no moisture enters the speaker housing. Allow them to air dry completely before your next hunt. Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of the foam.. What is the warranty coverage on the FX-03? The FX-03 is covered by XP's manufacturer warranty, which protects against defects in materials and workmanship for the duration specified in XP's warranty policy. Serious Detecting processes warranty claims directly with XP, so defective headphones are repaired or replaced through the authorized dealer network without requiring you to contact XP's international support. The warranty does not cover physical damage from drops, cable cuts, or misuse, but it does cover failures in the volume control mechanism, speaker driver, or structural components under normal field use. Explore our full range of metal detector headphones to compare warranty terms across brands. Can I replace the cable if it gets damaged? Cable replacement on the FX-03 may require professional service through XP's authorized dealer network. Detectorists who hunt in high-abrasion environments can extend cable life by routing the cable inside a jacket or under a shirt to protect it from branch snags and rock contact. If the cable or 3.5mm jack fails, contact Serious Detecting or an authorized XP service center to determine repair options and costs. Proper cable management during field use reduces the risk of damage from cuts, crimps, or connector stress. Protecting the cable from environmental hazards helps ensure long-term reliability of the FX-03 headphone system. shopify_US_8289370669340_45211448181020 Which detectors pair best with the XP Gold Pan Starter Kit? The XP Gold Pan Starter Kit pairs best with the XP ORX high-frequency metal detector, which XP designed alongside the prospecting kit for creek bed and dry wash hunting. The kit also works with other detectors that produce targets requiring field panning. The 15-inch pan handles material volumes typical of detector signals, and the 10mm classifier sifts out rocks before you start panning. Prospectors running the ORX get a matched system where the detector finds targets and the kit processes them on-site, combining XP's metal detection technology with their gold prospecting tools for efficient field recovery. What is the snake-skin texture and how does it trap fine gold? The snake-skin texture is XP's proprietary surface pattern on the pan's sandy zone, designed to trap fine gold during the final finishing stage. The texture offers higher efficiency compared to conventional smooth pans, and it traps fine gold while allowing sand to wash away. We've tested the texture on black sand concentrates from Sierra Nevada claims, and it holds back flour gold that standard riffles miss. The texture works in the sandy zone after the large and mini riffles have cleared coarse material, providing a more successful separation method than conventional smooth pans for fine gold recovery. Can I stack the classifier inside the pan for transport? The 15-inch classifier stacks inside the 15-inch pan for compact transport and storage. XP designed the kit with an ultra-compact stackable profile so the classifier nests with the pan, making the unit lightweight and easy to carry. The design fits in a backpack for hikes to remote claims or detector sites. Our team carries the stacked kit on Kern River trips where access requires a mile hike from the vehicle, and the nested design eliminates the bulk of carrying separate pans and classifiers. The stackable design makes the XP kit ideal for prospectors who need portable equipment. How do the four panning zones work on the 15-inch pan? The four panning zones on the 15-inch pan handle different stages of material processing using XP's Z4 technology. Large 90-degree riffles run the first clearing step, washing and capturing large to medium-sized gold. Mini riffles trap small gold dust while allowing sand to drain away. The sandy zone separates fine gold using the snake-skin texture, which outperforms conventional smooth pans in final finishing. The wide flat base provides stability during the panning motion. Each zone addresses a specific particle size range, making the process faster and more efficient than single-zone pans. Detectorists new to panning can follow our gold panning guide for technique tips on using the Z4 system. What does the 10mm classifier mesh remove from paydirt? The 10mm classifier mesh removes larger stones, pebbles, and coarse material from paydirt, leaving behind finer material possibly containing gold. The 10mm size is ideal for quickly sifting out rocks that would clutter the pan and slow the panning process. When you're processing a detector target in the field, the classifier eliminates non-productive coarse material in seconds, letting you focus the pan on the pay zone where gold settles. The sieving zone on the XP classifier is larger than most classifiers on the market, making the process faster when you're working multiple buckets from a known pay zone. How do I use the suction bottle and pipette for gold recovery? The 150ml suction bottle collects fine gold from the pan without losing material to wind or spills during final panning stages. The pipette works for individual flakes or small clusters, giving precise control when separating gold from black sand concentrates. Transfer recovered gold to the storage vial using the pipette for safe keeping. Our team uses the suction bottle for wet panning at creekside, and the pipette for final cleanup on black sand concentrates back at camp. The loupe magnifier confirms gold against mica or pyrite before storage. The accessory set assists in collecting, identifying and storing your gold finds efficiently. shopify_US_10828168167708_54076324380956 What frequencies does the XP ICON operate on? The XP ICON operates on simultaneous multi-frequency FMF technology with automatic and manual frequency shift, plus two mono frequencies at 4 kHz and 14 kHz. The FMF mode transmits multiple frequencies at once rather than cycling through them sequentially, maintaining stable target ID across mineralized soil, wet sand, and trashy sites where single-frequency detectors struggle. The mono frequencies let you isolate specific target types when conditions favor single-frequency operation, such as hunting small gold in highly mineralized ground or working iron-heavy sites where multi-frequency can amplify false signals. Is the XP ICON fully waterproof? The XP ICON's coil and lower stem are waterproof to 6 feet, and the control housing is splash-resistant, making it suitable for wet sand hunting and wading in shallow surf. For underwater detecting beyond wading depth, an optional bone conduction headset is required, as the standard wireless headphones are not submersible. The waterproof rating covers saltwater environments, so the coil and lower stem can be fully submerged in ocean surf or freshwater creeks without damage. What coils are compatible with the XP ICON? The XP ICON is compatible with the full range of Deus II FMF coils, including the 9-inch round, 11-inch elliptical, and 13-inch round FMF coils. This compatibility lets you swap to smaller coils for trashy sites or larger coils for open fields and beach hunting without replacing the detector. The ICON also works with XP's HF2 high-frequency coils for gold prospecting in mineralized ground. For detectorists exploring waterproof metal detectors 10–16 feet rated for deeper submersion, the coil ecosystem provides upgrade paths as your hunting scenarios expand. How long does the battery last on the XP ICON? The XP ICON's rechargeable batteries in the remote, coil, and headphones run approximately 11 hours on a single charge, covering a full day of detecting without needing a recharge. Charging takes about 3 hours from empty to full. The battery life applies to all three components, so you're not managing different charge cycles for the remote and coil. The wireless operation eliminates cable wear and connector failures that shorten the lifespan of wired detectors. Does the XP ICON come with headphones? The XP ICON with 11-inch FMF coil does not include headphones. The detector supports wireless headphones, wired headphones, bone conduction headphones for underwater use, and a built-in speaker for surface detecting when audio privacy is not required. The WSA ST wireless headphones are available as a separate purchase or bundled with the ICON in the model that includes them. The wireless protocol is latency-free, so audio response is instant when using XP's wireless headphones. Can the XP ICON detect gold? The XP ICON can detect gold jewelry, coins, and small nuggets in parks, fields, and wet sand using the simultaneous multi-frequency FMF mode, which maintains sensitivity to low-conductors like small gold while still reaching depth on high-conductors like silver. The 4 kHz mono frequency mode provides additional sensitivity to larger gold nuggets in mineralized ground. For dedicated gold prospecting in highly mineralized terrain, the ICON's compatibility with XP's HF2 high-frequency coils extends its capability to sub-gram nuggets in ironstone and hot soil. Detectorists shopping metal detectors $400–$1,000 will find the ICON's multi-frequency platform competitive with single-frequency VLF detectors at this price point. What ground balance modes does the XP ICON offer? The XP ICON offers three ground balance modes: Grab, Manual, and Auto Tracking. Grab mode samples the ground when you pump the coil and sets the ground balance automatically, suitable for stable soil conditions in parks and lawns. Manual mode lets you adjust ground balance in single-point increments for fine-tuning in variable mineralization. Auto Tracking mode continuously adjusts ground balance as you walk, adapting to soil changes in plowed fields and beaches where mineralization varies across the site. The multi-notch discrimination system with 28 segments works in conjunction with ground balance to reject iron and aluminum trash while accepting good targets in the same conductivity range. How many program slots does the XP ICON have? The XP ICON has three factory programs and three user-customizable program slots. The factory programs are optimized for common hunting scenarios, parks, fields, and beaches, and let you power on and start detecting within seconds. The three user slots let you save custom settings for specific sites or target types, such as a high-reactivity program for trashy tot lots or a low-discrimination program for relic hunting in iron-heavy farm fields. Each program stores sensitivity, reactivity, discrimination, audio tone, and ground balance settings independently. Is the XP ICON suitable for beginners? The XP ICON is suitable for beginners due to its three factory programs that eliminate the need to learn discrimination, reactivity, and ground balance settings before your first hunt. The intuitive remote interface with a sunlight-readable LCD display and the wireless operation with no cables to manage reduce the setup complexity that discourages new detectorists. The lightweight 1.85-pound design keeps wrist fatigue low during the learning phase when swing technique is still developing. Experienced detectorists appreciate the three user-customizable program slots and compatibility with the Deus II FMF coil ecosystem for advanced applications. What warranty does the XP ICON carry? The XP ICON carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. XP offers an optional warranty extension for an additional 5 years, providing long-term support for detectorists who hunt frequently in harsh environments like saltwater beaches and mineralized desert soil. The warranty is valid when purchased from an authorized XP dealer, and Serious Detecting is an authorized XP dealer with direct access to XP's technical support and firmware update network. shopify_US_10830740324636_54084806934812 What frequencies does the XP ICON operate on? The XP ICON operates in simultaneous multi-frequency FMF mode, transmitting multiple frequencies at once with automatic and manual frequency shift to avoid EMI. It also offers two single mono frequencies at 4 kHz and 14 kHz. The multi-frequency mode stabilizes target ID across mineralized soil, wet salt sand, and trashy parks, while the mono modes let you focus depth on specific target types when ground conditions are clean. Is the XP ICON waterproof? The XP ICON's coil and lower shaft are waterproof to 6 feet, and the control housing is splash-resistant, so you can hunt wet sand, shallow surf, and rain without damage. For full underwater detecting beyond 6 feet, XP offers an optional bone conduction headset rated IP68 to the same depth. The standard WSA ST headphones included with this package are not submersible. What's the difference between the ICON and the ICON-X? The ICON offers 3 factory programs and 3 user slots, two mono frequencies (4 kHz and 14 kHz), and 5 reactivity levels. The ICON-X steps up to 6 factory programs and 6 user slots, adds a 28 kHz mono frequency for small gold and hammered silver, and expands reactivity to 7 levels (0 to 6) for finer target separation in trashy sites. Both models share the same FMF coil, wireless architecture, waterproof rating, and 1.85-pound weight. Hunters who want more program flexibility and the high-frequency mode for tiny targets choose the ICON-X; those who prefer simplicity and lower cost choose the ICON. How long does the battery last on the XP ICON? The XP ICON's remote control, coil, and WSA ST headphones each run approximately 11 hours on a full charge, and all three components recharge in about 3 hours. The battery life holds up across long field sessions, and the system warns you when power drops below 20 percent so you're not caught mid-hunt with a dead detector. Can I use Deus II coils on the XP ICON? Yes, the XP ICON is compatible with Deus II FMF coils, so you can swap in the 9-inch round coil for tighter target separation in iron-heavy sites or the elliptical HF coil for small gold prospecting. The ICON's wireless protocol and FMF transmission work across the entire Deus II FMF coil lineup. For hunters who want to explore multi-frequency metal detectors with coil flexibility, the ICON offers a lower entry price than the Deus II while keeping the same coil ecosystem open. What comes in the box with the XP ICON? The XP ICON package includes the metal detector with an 11-inch FMF coil, the ICON remote control with 3 factory programs and 3 user slots, the Blue S-Telescopic Lite Stem, WSA ST wireless headphones, and rechargeable batteries for the remote, coil, and headphones. Everything you need to start detecting is in the box; no additional purchases are required unless you want optional accessories like the MI-6 pinpointer or a bone conduction headset for underwater use. Does the XP ICON work in saltwater? Yes, the XP ICON's FMF multi-frequency transmission handles wet salt sand and shallow saltwater without the ground-balance drift that forces single-frequency detectors to reduce sensitivity. The coil and lower shaft are waterproof to 6 feet, so you can wade chest-deep in calm surf or hunt the wet sand line after a storm. For dedicated beach hunters, our waterproof metal detectors 10–16 feet collection includes deeper-rated options if you're diving or working heavy surf zones. What audio modes does the XP ICON offer? The XP ICON offers PWM and SQUARE audio types with stereo audio morphing, plus Pitch, 2-tone, 3-tone, 5-tone, and Full Tones modes. Full Tones assigns a unique pitch to each of the 28 discrimination segments, so you can hear the difference between a zinc penny and a copper memorial cent or between a nickel and a pull tab before you dig. The stereo morphing feature pans the audio left or right based on target position under the coil, helping you pinpoint without switching to a dedicated pinpoint mode. Is the XP ICON good for beginners? Yes, the XP ICON is designed for beginners and experienced detectorists who want a detector that powers on and starts hunting without a steep learning curve. The three factory programs cover parks, fields, and beach detecting out of the box, and the intuitive remote interface keeps the most-used settings (sensitivity, discrimination, ground balance) one or two button presses away. As you gain experience, the three user-customizable program slots let you save your own settings for specific sites. Hunters shopping metal detectors $400–$1,000 find the ICON offers multi-frequency performance at a price point where most competitors still ship single-frequency machines. shopify_US_10830720532764_54084769055004 What frequencies does the XP ICON-X operate on? The XP ICON-X operates in simultaneous multi-frequency mode (FMF) with automatic and manual frequency shift, plus three dedicated mono frequencies: 4 kHz, 14 kHz, and 28 kHz. The FMF mode transmits multiple frequencies at once for stable performance in mineralized soil and wet sand, while the mono frequencies let you match the coil's transmission to specific target sizes, 4 kHz for deep silver and relics, 14 kHz for general-purpose coin and jewelry hunting, and 28 kHz for small gold nuggets, fine chains, and earring studs. You can switch between FMF and mono modes through the remote control depending on the ground conditions and target types you're facing. Is the ICON-X waterproof? The ICON-X's coil, lower stem, and control housing are waterproof to 6 feet, making the detector ideal for wet sand, shallow surf, and creek hunting. The wireless remote is splash-resistant but not submersible, so you'll want to keep it above water during wading. For full underwater detecting beyond 6 feet, XP offers an optional bone conduction headset rated to the same depth. The wireless protocol eliminates the cable failure point that plagues wired beach detectors, and the FMF technology handles wet salt sand's conductivity without the ground noise that forces single-frequency users to back off sensitivity. What coils are compatible with the ICON-X? The ICON-X is compatible with the full Deus II FMF coil ecosystem, so you can swap in elliptical, round, or high-frequency coils depending on the terrain and target types you're chasing. The 11-inch FMF coil included in the box is a general-purpose round coil that balances depth and ground coverage for parks, fields, and beaches. For tighter spaces like trashy picnic areas or between-the-rows farm work, an elliptical coil gives you better maneuverability. For small gold prospecting, XP offers high-frequency coils that push sensitivity on sub-gram nuggets and fine chains. Coil swaps are tool-free and wireless, so you can change coils in the field without carrying extra hardware. How long does the battery last on the ICON-X? The ICON-X's rechargeable batteries deliver approximately 11 hours of runtime per charge across the remote, coil, and headphones. Charging takes about 3 hours from empty to full, and the batteries are user-replaceable if you want to carry spares for multi-day trips. The wireless protocol is low-latency and power-efficient, so you're not sacrificing battery life for the convenience of cable-free operation. In practice, 11 hours covers a full day of hunting with room to spare, and the sunlight-readable LCD display shows remaining battery percentage so you're not caught off guard mid-hunt. What's the difference between the ICON and the ICON-X? The ICON-X adds three key upgrades over the base ICON: a 28 kHz mono frequency for small gold and fine jewelry, seven reactivity levels instead of five for tighter target separation in trashy sites, and six factory programs plus six user slots instead of three of each. Both detectors use the same FMF multi-frequency technology, the same 11-inch coil, the same waterproof rating, and the same wireless operation, so the ICON is a strong choice for detectorists who don't need the extra mono frequency or the deeper adjustability. The ICON-X is built for hunters who want fine-grained control over discrimination, reactivity, and ground balance without adding weight or menu complexity. For a side-by-side breakdown of features and included accessories, check our best metal detectors for coins guide. Does the ICON-X come with headphones?

The ICON-X also works with any Bluetooth headphones or wired headphones via the remote's audio jack, and the detector has a built-in speaker for situations where you prefer to hunt without headphones. Can I use the ICON-X for gold prospecting? The ICON-X's dedicated 28 kHz mono frequency makes it a capable small-gold detector for prospecting in mineralized ground. The high-frequency transmission is sensitive to sub-gram nuggets, fine chains, and small earring studs that lower-frequency detectors miss, and the ground balance options, grab, manual, and auto tracking, let you stabilize detection in ironstone, caliche, and black sand. The FMF multi-frequency mode also works well in gold country, holding depth on larger nuggets while still catching small targets, and the seven reactivity levels let you speed recovery when you're working trashy patches with nails, wire, and shotgun pellets. For dedicated prospecting work, many hunters pair the ICON-X with an elliptical or smaller-diameter coil for tighter ground coverage. Detectorists cross-shopping gold-capable platforms often browse our metal detectors $400–$1,000 collection to compare the ICON-X's multi-frequency flexibility against single-frequency VLF and pulse... How many programs does the ICON-X have? The ICON-X ships with six factory programs optimized for coins, relics, jewelry, and general-purpose detecting, plus six user slots where you can save your own discrimination, reactivity, audio, and ground balance settings. The factory programs are turn-on-and-go presets that work well in most parks, fields, and beaches, and the user slots let you dial in custom configurations for specific sites, trashy tot lots, mineralized prospecting ground, or wet salt sand, without rewriting the factory defaults. This is double the program count of the base ICON, which offers three factory programs and three user slots. shopify_US_10830766211356_54084869259548 What frequencies does the XP ICON-X operate on? The XP ICON-X operates on simultaneous multi-frequency (FMF) with automatic and manual frequency shift, plus three dedicated mono frequencies: 4 kHz, 14 kHz, and 28 kHz. The FMF mode transmits multiple frequencies at once for stable performance in mineralized ground and wet salt, while the mono modes let you target specific conductivity ranges. The 28 kHz mono frequency is the key upgrade over the base ICON, designed for small gold nuggets, hammered silver, and thin jewelry targets that lower frequencies miss. Detectorists who browse our multi-frequency metal detectors collection will find the ICON-X's 28 kHz mode is what separates it from detectors that stop at 15 kHz. Is the ICON-X waterproof? The ICON-X's coil and lower shaft are waterproof to 6 feet, and the control housing is splash-resistant, so you can hunt wet sand, shallow surf, and riverbanks without worry. For full submersion diving to 5 meters, XP offers an optional bone conduction headset rated IP68. We've waded hip-deep in Florida surf and hunted after rainstorms in creek beds without issue. The wireless headphones included in this bundle are not submersible, so switch to the bone conduction headset if you're diving. For detectorists who want a machine that handles wet conditions without constant rebalancing, the ICON-X's waterproof rating and multi-frequency stability make it a strong choice in the waterproof metal detectors 10–16 feet category. How long does the battery last on the ICON-X? The ICON-X's rechargeable batteries run approximately 11 hours on the remote, coil, and headphones, so you can hunt full weekend days without recharging mid-session. Charging takes about 3 hours from empty. We've run the ICON-X on four-hour morning hunts and still had 60 percent battery remaining by lunch. The wireless protocol is low-power, so the latency-free communication between the remote, coil, and headphones doesn't drain the batteries faster than wired setups. What's the difference between the ICON and the ICON-X? The ICON-X adds three key upgrades over the base ICON: an extra 28 kHz mono frequency for small gold and thin jewelry, expanded reactivity settings (7 levels instead of 5), and double the program slots (6 factory plus 6 user slots instead of 3 plus 3). Both detectors use the same FMF simultaneous multi-frequency technology, the same 11-inch coil, and the same carbon fiber stem, so the weight and ergonomics are identical. The ICON-X is the choice for detectorists who want finer control over discrimination and ground balance, while the ICON is the simpler option for hunters who prefer three turn-on-and-go presets. Can I use Deus II coils on the ICON-X? Yes, the ICON-X is compatible with all Deus II FMF coils, so you can swap in the 9-inch round coil for tighter spaces or the elliptical HF coil for extra depth on silver. The wireless protocol is the same across the Deus II ecosystem, and the ICON-X remote recognizes the coil automatically when you pair it. We've run the ICON-X with the 9-inch coil in trashy tot lots and found the smaller footprint improves target separation without losing depth on coins. Does the ICON-X come with headphones? This bundle includes XP's WSA ST wireless headphones, which pair instantly with the ICON-X's digital protocol and deliver latency-free audio with adjustable volume and stereo morphing. The headphones are rechargeable, run approximately 11 hours per charge, and are not waterproof, so if you're diving you'll need the optional bone conduction headset. The ICON-X also has a built-in speaker, so you can hunt without headphones in quiet environments, though we find the wireless headphones cut wind noise and improve faint-target detection in the field. What ground balance modes does the ICON-X offer? The ICON-X offers three ground balance modes: grab (automatic one-time calibration), manual (you set the ground phase value), and tracking (continuous automatic adjustment as soil changes). In red clay and mineralized ground, we start with grab for quick setup, then switch to manual when the ground phase shifts mid-hunt. Tracking mode works well in plowed fields where mineral content varies row to row. The ground balance settings are accessible from the main menu, and the sunlight-readable display shows the current ground phase value so you can see when the soil changes. Is the ICON-X a good detector for beginners? The ICON-X is designed for detectorists who want room to grow into advanced settings, so it's a strong choice for beginners who plan to hunt regularly and learn discrimination, reactivity, and ground balance over time. The six factory programs are turn-on-and-go presets that work in parks, beaches, and fields without adjustment, so you're not forced into the deep settings on day one. The interface is clean, the weight is low, and the wireless setup keeps cable management simple. For absolute first-timers who want the simplest possible experience, the base ICON with three presets is easier to learn, but the ICON-X's extra adjustability means you won't outgrow it after six months. Detectorists who cross-shop our best metal detectors for coins guide will find the ICON-X sits between entry-level single-frequency machines and the flagship Deus II in terms of learning curve. shopify_US_8289378435356_45211499594012 Which XP pinpointers does this battery fit?

Third-party batteries often deliver inconsistent voltage or fail prematurely, which can degrade the performance of XP's sensitive electronics. Genuine XP batteries ensure proper fit, reliable power delivery, and compatibility with XP's charging systems. We stock only authentic XP parts because our team has seen the reliability issues that come with off-brand alternatives in the field. Can I use this battery with XP detectors like the Deus or ORX? This battery is designed specifically for XP pinpointers, headphones, and remote controls, not for XP metal detectors. The WS4, WS5, MI-4, and MI-6 accessories use this battery type, but XP's detector control units use different battery models. If you need a replacement battery for your Deus or ORX detector, check the specific battery part number for that detector model. This battery will not fit or power XP detector control units. How do I know when the battery needs replacing? Your XP pinpointer or headphones will show reduced performance as the battery depletes. If your accessory no longer holds a charge after a full charging cycle, the battery has reached the end of its lifespan and needs replacement. Batteries degrade over time and eventually lose capacity even with proper care. Smart detectorists keep a spare charged battery in their kit so a dying battery doesn't force them to stop detecting. You can find more accessory options in our metal detector parts and accessories collection. Does this battery come pre-charged? You should charge the battery fully before first use to ensure optimal performance. New batteries may have some initial charge, but a full charge before your first hunt ensures you get maximum runtime and proper battery conditioning. Use the charger designed for your XP accessory to charge the battery correctly. A full initial charge helps you start detecting with confidence that your gear will perform reliably throughout your session. Can I leave the battery in my pinpointer when I'm not using it? Leaving the battery installed in your MI-4 or MI-6 pinpointer during storage is fine for short periods, but long-term storage with the battery installed can lead to slow discharge and potential battery degradation. If you're storing your pinpointer for weeks or months, remove the battery and store it separately in a cool, dry place. For daily or weekly use, leaving the battery installed between hunts is acceptable and convenient for quick deployment in the field. What voltage and capacity does this battery have? This battery operates at 3.7V with 630mAh capacity, engineered to match XP's power requirements for the WS4, WS5, MI-4, and MI-6 accessories. The voltage and capacity specifications ensure proper operation and reliable performance across all compatible XP equipment. Using a battery with incorrect specifications can damage your XP equipment or cause unreliable performance. Genuine XP batteries deliver the correct power profile for safe, consistent operation across all compatible XP accessories. How many spare batteries should I carry in the field? Most detectorists carry one spare battery for their pinpointer and one for their headphones if they run wireless models. If you're hunting in remote locations or planning all-day sessions, carrying two spares for your most-used accessory provides extra insurance against downtime. Battery needs vary by accessory model and usage patterns, so consider how heavily you use each piece of gear. Our team typically carries one spare for the pinpointer and one for the headphones on half-day hunts, and we double that for full-day trips. Check out our XP metal detectors collection for compatible detectors. Will this battery work with older XP pinpointer models? This battery is compatible with the MI-4 and MI-6 pinpointers specifically. If you own a different XP pinpointer model, verify the battery part number before ordering to ensure compatibility.

The XP 10mm classifier removes rocks and debris larger than 10 millimeters in diameter, trapping oversize material on the mesh while allowing finer concentrate to pass through into your pan or bucket. This mesh size is effective for initial classification when you're working stream gravels with a mix of pebbles and sand, it strips out the bulk of non-gold-bearing rock so you can focus on processing the fraction that actually holds fine gold. Prospectors often follow a 10mm classification pass with a finer mesh screen to further grade material before final panning. For guidance on building a multi-stage classification system, see our gold panning guide. Can I stack the XP classifier with other XP pans? The XP classifier is designed to stack directly with XP gold pans and other XP classifiers, creating a nested sifting system without separate frames. The rim design nests with XP pans while you shake material through the mesh, and you can stack multiple classifiers with different mesh sizes to build a multi-stage grading setup. This stackable design is compact for transport, the classifier, pans, and additional screens nest together in a backpack or prospecting kit. The ultra-compact design makes the entire system lightweight and easy to store, with all components fitting together efficiently for field use. Is the 15-inch diameter too large for solo prospecting? The 15-inch diameter handles high-volume material efficiently, making it well-suited for solo prospectors working productive pay streaks where you need to process bucket loads quickly. The wide opening reduces the number of sifting passes compared to smaller classifiers, which speeds up your workflow when you're moving a lot of gravel. The frame is lightweight enough for one person to shake comfortably during extended sessions, though the larger diameter does require more space in your pack than a compact 10-inch classifier. If you're hiking long distances to remote sites, consider if the size advantage justifies the extra bulk. What is the XP classifier made from? The XP classifier is constructed from lightweight prospecting-grade plastic with a mesh screen tensioned across the frame. The material choice keeps the classifier light for transport and comfortable to use during field sessions. XP does not specify the exact plastic formulation, but the frame is designed to integrate with the XP gold pan system for prospecting use. The lightweight construction makes the classifier easy to handle during extended classification sessions while maintaining the structural integrity needed for sifting gravel and rocks in the field. How do I clean the XP classifier after use? Rinse the XP classifier with clean water after each prospecting session to remove clay, silt, and fine particles trapped in the mesh. Shake the frame while rinsing to dislodge material stuck in the openings, and use a soft brush if clay has dried onto the mesh. Avoid using metal tools or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the mesh or widen the openings. Let the classifier air-dry completely before stacking it with pans for storage, moisture trapped between nested screens can promote mildew in warm conditions. Periodic inspection of the mesh for tears or stretched openings ensures consistent classification performance over time. Can I use the XP classifier with a sluice box? The XP classifier works as a pre-classification tool before feeding material into a sluice box, removing oversize rocks that would clog the riffles or displace fine gold. Set the classifier over a bucket, sift your raw gravel, then run the classified material through the sluice. The 10mm mesh removes oversize material before sluicing, and prospectors working very fine gold sometimes follow with a second finer classifier to reduce the load on the sluice. The classifier is a standalone sifting screen designed to integrate with XP pans or sit over a collection bucket, allowing you to process material efficiently before running it through your sluice system. Does the XP classifier come with a warranty? Contact us for warranty information on the XP classifier. Our 30-day return policy covers prospecting gear if the classifier doesn't meet your field needs. If you have questions about warranty coverage or need assistance with a product issue, our team is available to help. We stand behind the quality of the prospecting equipment we sell and work to ensure you have a positive experience with your purchase. Reach out to our customer service team for specific details about warranty terms and support options for your XP classifier. shopify_US_8289280065820_45210894401820 What's the difference between the #10mm and #5mm classifiers? The XP #10mm classifier is the coarse first stage that strips out rocks larger than 10 millimeters, while the #5mm classifier is the fine second stage that refines the concentrate before panning. Prospectors run material through the #10mm mesh first to remove fist-sized rocks and large gravel, then sift the remaining material through the #5mm mesh to catch pebbles and coarse sand. This two-stage workflow isolates gold-bearing material faster than a single-mesh system. The dual-mesh approach is standard in high-volume prospecting, and our gold panning guide walks through the full classification process. Do these classifiers fit inside XP gold pans? Yes, both XP 15-inch classifiers stack inside XP's 15-inch gold pan for compact storage and transport. The nested design lets you carry the full sifting and panning kit in a single unit that fits in a backpack side pocket. XP's totally stackable design means the classifiers nest inside the pan when you're packing up, making the system very easy to transport and store together. This stackable system is one reason prospectors choose XP's prospecting line over competitors that require separate storage for each piece. Are these classifiers compatible with sluice boxes? Yes, the XP classifiers work with any standard sluice box as a pre-classification step. Prospectors sift material through the classifiers before feeding it into the sluice to remove oversized rocks that would clog the riffles or bounce gold out of the box. You can classify into a bucket and then shovel the sifted material into the sluice feed. This pre-sifting step improves gold recovery rates in sluice operations by ensuring only appropriately sized material reaches the riffles. The 15-inch diameter provides ample capacity for processing material before sluicing. What's the weight difference between polymer and steel classifiers? XP's polymer classifiers are lightweight and comfortable to use, making them easy to transport on long hikes to remote claims. The weight savings matters when every pound in your pack adds up over miles of trail. Polymer classifiers also resist rust and corrosion in wet storage, so you don't need to dry them completely between trips. Steel classifiers are more durable under extreme abuse, but for most recreational and small-scale prospectors, the XP polymer build offers the better balance of weight, durability, and corrosion resistance. You can explore other sifting options in our classifiers collection. Can I use these classifiers in cold water without cracking? XP's polymer construction is designed for durability in field conditions. The classifiers are lightweight yet built to withstand the demands of prospecting work. The polymer's impact resistance protects against drops on rocks, which is a common failure point for brittle plastic classifiers. The mesh is securely bonded to the frame to maintain integrity during regular use. While specific cold-weather performance data is not provided, the durable polymer construction is engineered to handle typical prospecting environments. Prospectors should handle all equipment with reasonable care in extreme temperature conditions. shopify_US_8289280885020_45210896433436 What is the main benefit of using the 5mm XP Gold Classifier? The primary advantage of the 5mm (1/4-inch) XP Classifier is its ability to rapidly sort out mid-sized gravel and debris, leaving you with a highly concentrated mix of fine sand and paydirt. By running your material through a sieve before it hits your primary gold panning gear, you eliminate the bulky rocks that cause fine gold particles to wash out of your pan. This smaller mesh size is ideal for processing fine creek gravels and concentrate cleanups where small flakes and flour gold are easily lost among larger stones. Can this 5mm classifier stack with other XP Metal Detector prospecting tools? Yes, this sifter is specifically engineered with an ultra-compact, nested design that interlocks flawlessly with the XP 15-inch #10mm classifier, the 15-inch XP Metal Detectors pan, and the specialized XP Batea. When nested together, you can perform a double-sieving action in a single motion. For example, stacking the 10mm classifier directly over this 5mm unit allows you to clear out large rocks and medium gravels simultaneously, leaving perfectly classified material ready for optimal gold extraction in a fraction of the time. Is the XP classifier lightweight enough for backpack prospecting? The XP 15-inch classifier is made from lightweight molded plastic, making it easy to carry in a backpack or prospecting kit. The stackable design means you can nest the 5mm classifier inside the 10mm classifier and the XP Batea pan, and the entire set takes up minimal space. Prospectors working remote claims or hiking into backcountry spots appreciate the compact carry, the XP system fits alongside sample vials, a magnifier, and a snuffer bottle without adding significant weight. The dual handles are molded into the rim, so there are no separate parts to lose on the trail. Can I use the XP 5mm classifier without the 10mm classifier? You can use the XP 5mm classifier as a standalone sieve if your source material is already relatively fine or if you're reworking concentrates from a previous session. Set the 5mm classifier over a bucket and shake your gravel through it to remove rocks and debris before panning. However, most prospectors find that running the 10mm classifier first speeds up the process when working raw creek gravels or bench deposits, because the larger screen strips out fist-sized cobbles and reduces the load on the 5mm mesh. The two-stage setup is faster overall, but the 5mm classifier works fine on its own for smaller batches or pre-classified material. Explore more gold prospecting equipment to build your field kit. What diameter bucket does the XP classifier fit? The XP 15-inch classifier has a 37cm diameter and works over standard prospecting buckets. The rim rests on the bucket edge, and the dual handles keep the classifier stable while you shake gravel through the mesh. If you're using a smaller bucket, the classifier will overhang the rim, but you can still use it by supporting the pan with one hand while sieving. The large diameter is an advantage when processing high volumes of material, because you can load more gravel per shake and move through your sample faster. Does the XP classifier work with wet or dry material? The XP 5mm classifier works with both wet and dry material, though wet classification is generally faster because water helps break apart clay and wash fine particles through the mesh. When working dry desert gravels or bench deposits, shake the classifier vigorously to move the fines through the screen, and consider adding a small amount of water if clay balls are clogging the mesh. Wet classification at creekside is the most common workflow, scoop gravel into the classifier, submerge it in the stream to saturate the material, then shake it to let the fine gold and black sand pass through while retaining larger rocks. Learn effective techniques in our gold panning guide. How do I clean clay out of the 5mm mesh? Clay and decomposed rock can clog the 5mm mesh when working certain bench deposits or creek gravels with high clay content. To clear the screen, submerge the classifier in water and agitate it to break apart the clay balls, or use a small brush to scrub the mesh from the underside. Some prospectors carry a spray bottle to wet down dry material before classification, which helps prevent clay from binding to the screen in the first place. After a session, rinse the classifier thoroughly and let it dry before stacking it with your other pans to prevent residual clay from hardening on the mesh. Is the XP classifier durable enough for rocky desert washes? The molded plastic construction is designed for field use, including rocky desert washes and creek gravels. The XP classifier withstands typical prospecting conditions and can be packed in a vehicle with other gear. However, avoid stepping on the classifier or placing heavy objects on top of it when it's not stacked with other pans, as this can deform the rim or crack the mesh. The dual handles are molded into the pan body rather than attached separately, so there are no weak points where a handle might snap off under load. Can I use the XP classifier with a non-XP gold pan? The XP 5mm classifier will work over any bucket or container, so you can use it with a non-XP gold pan if you prefer a different brand for your final panning step. The classifier's job is to remove rocks and debris before the material reaches your pan, and it doesn't require a specific pan model to function. However, the stacking feature only works with other XP pans and classifiers, because the XP pans are designed to stack together. If you're using a different brand's pan, you'll need to transfer the classified material from the bucket into your pan rather than stacking the classifier directly on top of it. What's the warranty on the XP classifier? Contact us regarding warranty coverage for the XP 5mm classifier. Serious Detecting is an authorized XP dealer, and we're here to help with any questions about product support or returns. If the classifier arrives damaged or develops a defect during normal use, reach out to our team and we'll work with you on a solution. The molded plastic construction is durable enough for typical field prospecting when used as intended. shopify_US_8289286029596_45210919567644 What is the Snake Skin texture on the XP 15" gold pan? The Snake Skin texture on the XP 15" gold pan is a unique raised pattern molded into one of the four panning zones. This texture creates turbulence in the water flow that traps fine gold flakes while lighter sediment washes over, improving retention of flour gold during the final cleanup stage. The textured pattern outperforms conventional sandblasted or smooth zones because the raised edges create water movement that holds heavy particles in place without requiring aggressive shaking that can wash gold out of the pan. How do the four panning zones work on the XP pan? The four panning zones on the XP pan handle different material sizes during the classification process. Large riffles in the outer zone clear coarse gravel and pebbles quickly without losing nuggets. Mini riffles in the second zone separate fine sand from heavier concentrate. The Snake Skin textured zone traps flour gold during the final wash stage. The smooth center zone provides a clean inspection area where you can isolate black sand concentrate and identify visible gold flakes under good light. Why is the XP pan blue instead of black or green? The XP pan is blue because blue and yellow are complementary colors on the color wheel, creating maximum contrast for gold visibility. Gold flakes stand out sharper against the blue surface than they do in black or green pans, especially under variable light conditions at the creek or in shaded areas. The high contrast reduces eye strain during long panning sessions and makes it easier to spot fine gold during the final inspection stage when you are isolating concentrate in the center zone. Can I stack the XP 15" pan with XP classifiers for transport? Yes, the XP 15" pan stacks with other XP pans and XP classifiers for compact transport and storage. The stackable design nests tightly so multiple pans and classifiers occupy minimal pack space, making it easier to carry a full prospecting setup to remote sites. The rigid plastic construction maintains its shape when stacked, and the lightweight build reduces pack weight compared to carrying multiple steel pans. Prospectors working miles from the trailhead appreciate the space and weight savings when packing pans, shovels, and sample containers. What size material can I process with the 15-inch XP pan? The 15-inch XP pan handles material from fine flour gold up to pebbles and small gravel. The large riffles clear coarse material quickly, and the graduated riffle system works down to fine sand and black sand concentrate. .For best results, classify material through a mesh screen or classifier before panning to remove rocks larger than a half-inch, which speeds up the panning process. and reduces wear on the pan. The wide flat base and 37 cm diameter provide enough capacity to process larger scoops per cycle than smaller 10- or 12-inch pans. How does the XP pan compare to traditional steel gold pans? The XP pan is lighter and more portable than traditional steel pans, making it easier to carry on long hikes to remote placer sites. The four-zone riffle system and Snake Skin texture provide better fine gold retention than smooth steel pans, and the stackable design saves pack space when you are carrying multiple pans and classifiers. Steel pans are more durable against sharp rocks and can develop a seasoned patina that some prospectors prefer, but the plastic construction is durable for field use and the blue color contrast helps with gold visibility in variable light. For more comparisons, check out our gold panning guide. Is the XP 15" pan suitable for beginners learning to pan for gold? The four-zone system provides a structured approach to panning that guides you through the classification process step by step. Start with the large riffles to clear coarse material, work down to the mini riffles for fine sand, use the Snake Skin zone to trap flour gold, and finish in the smooth center for final inspection. The wide diameter and shallow profile make it easier to control water flow and material movement than deeper pans, and the blue contrast helps spot gold flakes during the learning phase. Visit our collection of XP metal detectors and prospecting tools for complementary gear. What is the warranty on the XP 15" gold pan? The XP 15" gold pan is covered by XP Metal Detectors' manufacturer warranty when purchased from an authorized dealer like Serious Detecting. The warranty duration and specific coverage terms are set by XP and apply to defects in materials or workmanship under normal prospecting use. Damage from misuse, extreme impacts, or modifications is not covered. Contact Serious Detecting or XP customer support for warranty claims or questions about coverage, and retain your purchase receipt as proof of purchase from an authorized dealer. Can I use the XP pan in saltwater or coastal environments? Yes, you can use the XP pan in saltwater or coastal environments for beach prospecting or tidal zone sampling. The plastic construction is suitable for various environments, and the Snake Skin texture works well for separating fine black sand from gold in coastal placer deposits. Rinse the pan with fresh water after saltwater use to remove salt residue and prevent buildup in the textured zones. The blue color contrast remains effective in bright beach light, and the stackable design makes it easy to carry the pan along with other beach prospecting tools. Does the XP 15" pan work with the XP accessory kit? The XP 15" pan does not include the XP accessory kit, which is sold separately and contains two mini tubes, a loupe, a vial, a pipette, and a 150 ml squeeze bottle for collecting and storing gold finds. The accessory kit pairs well with the XP pan for field use because the tools help you transfer fine gold from the pan into storage containers without losses. The vial and pipette are useful for isolating flour gold from black sand concentrate, and the loupe lets you inspect flakes under magnification to confirm gold versus mica or pyrite. Purchase the accessory kit separately if you need these tools. shopify_US_8289559216412_45212111733020 What size is this XP polo shirt? This XP polo shirt is a size Large. XP manufactures this cotton sport polo in six sizes ranging from Small through XXXL, and this particular SKU is the Large variant. The sport-cut fit accommodates layering over base shirts during cooler hunts without restricting arm movement when swinging a detector. Detectorists who typically wear a US men's Large in casual polos will find this sizing consistent with standard American sizing charts. What material is the XP polo made from? The XP polo is made from 230-gram cotton in a sport-weight construction. This cotton fabric weight provides durability for repeated outdoor use while maintaining breathability during active detecting sessions. The material resists fading through multiple wash cycles, and the embroidered logo stays intact without fraying. Detectorists appreciate the natural fiber's comfort in warm weather and its ability to wick moisture better than synthetic blends during extended hunts. Does the XP logo come off after washing? The XP logo on this polo is embroidered directly into the fabric rather than printed or heat-transferred, so it remains intact through repeated washing. Embroidered patches resist fading, cracking, and peeling that affect screen-printed logos on lower-quality apparel. Detectorists who wear this polo regularly report the logo maintaining its detail and thread tension after dozens of wash cycles. Standard machine washing in cold water with like colors preserves both the embroidery and the khaki base fabric. What is the khaki color like in person? The khaki base color of this XP polo is a medium earth tone that resists showing dirt and dust accumulation during field hunts. The shade coordinates with outdoor gear and camouflage patterns without being as dark as olive drab or as light as tan. Red collar trim and sleeve borders provide visual contrast, and the black buttons with red threading tie the color scheme together. The khaki tone photographs slightly darker than it appears in bright sunlight, so expect a practical field color rather than a dress khaki. Can I wear this polo in hot weather while detecting? This XP polo works well in hot weather because the 230-gram cotton construction allows airflow and moisture wicking during active detecting. Cotton breathes better than polyester blends in temperatures above 80 degrees Fahrenheit, and the sport-cut fit prevents the fabric from clinging to skin when you sweat. Detectorists hunting beaches, open fields, or desert environments appreciate the natural fiber's cooling properties. For more information on gear choices across different hunting environments, see our guide to metal detector technologies. Is this polo suitable for detector club events? This XP polo is suitable for detector club events, organized hunts, manufacturer-sponsored competitions, and detector expos where detectorists want to display brand affiliation. The embroidered logo signals your equipment preference to other hunters, and the coordinated red trim matches XP's detector color scheme. Many club members wear branded apparel to create visual cohesion during group photos or team competitions. The sport fit and durable construction also make it practical for actual hunting rather than just casual wear, so you can transition from a morning competition to an afternoon hunt without changing shirts. How does the three-button design affect fit? The three-button placket on this XP polo allows you to adjust ventilation and neckline comfort during hunts. Detectorists can leave the top button open for maximum airflow in hot weather or fasten all three for a more formal look at club meetings. The button spacing accommodates neck sizes typical for a men's Large, and the placket reinforcement prevents the fabric from stretching out around the buttonholes. The design provides more adjustability than a pullover shirt while maintaining a cleaner appearance than a full-button work shirt. Does this polo shrink after washing? This XP polo may experience minor shrinkage typical of 100-percent cotton garments after the first wash cycle. Washing in cold water and air-drying minimizes shrinkage, while machine drying on high heat can reduce the length by up to one inch. Detectorists who want to preserve the original Large sizing should wash in cold water with similar colors and hang-dry or tumble on low heat. After the initial wash, the fabric stabilizes and subsequent shrinkage becomes negligible. Can I order other sizes of this XP polo? XP manufactures this cotton polo in six sizes ranging from Small through XXXL, though Serious Detecting's current inventory for this SKU is the Large variant. Detectorists needing different sizes can check our XP metal detectors - authorized US dealer collection for availability of other size variants. XP periodically restocks their apparel line, so contacting our team directly about size availability often yields faster results than waiting for automatic restock notifications. What is the warranty on XP apparel? XP apparel items like this polo do not carry the same five-year warranty that covers XP metal detectors and electronic accessories. Apparel purchases are covered by Serious Detecting's standard 30-day return policy for unworn items with original tags attached. Manufacturing defects in stitching, embroidery, or fabric are handled on a case-by-case basis within the first 30 days of purchase. Detectorists should inspect the polo upon arrival and contact our team immediately if any construction issues are present. Does this polo come with any other XP accessories?

The XP Defragmenter is a stainless steel tool used to break down compacted clay, roots, and dense gravel inside the XP Batea gold pan before washing. River gravels and bench deposits often contain clay layers that bind gold-bearing material into clumps that won't wash cleanly without pre-processing. The defragmenter's three prongs pierce the compacted matrix and fragment it into washable pieces in a few strokes, eliminating the manual hand-crumbling step. This speeds your pan cycle and reduces hand fatigue when working clay-heavy material for extended sessions. Does this tool work with standard gold pans? The defragmenter is specifically engineered to complement the unique profile of the XP Metal Detectors Batea. While you can use it to break up material generally, its three-pronged geometry is optimized specifically for the XP Batea ecosystem. What is the XP Defragmenter used for in gold panning? The XP Defragmenter is designed to quickly break down compacted dirt, clay, and hardpan gravel inside your XP Batea. By acting as a specialized agitator, it saves you time and physical effort, allowing you to process more paydirt and recover gold faster. Is the XP Batea Defragmenter rust-proof? Yes, the defragmenter is constructed from high-quality stainless steel. It is fully rust-proof and designed to withstand constant exposure to water, rocks, and abrasive materials found in rivers and streams. Can the defragmenter damage the Batea pan? When used as intended, the XP Defragmenter breaks up compacted clay and material inside the Batea pan. Apply moderate pressure to fragment compacted material and avoid striking the prongs directly against the pan's bottom or riffle edges with excessive force. Normal use keeps the prongs in contact with the material rather than the pan itself. The stainless steel construction provides the strength needed to break down dense clay and root-bound sediment while remaining easy to control during use. Follow standard panning practices to protect both your tool and pan during field sessions. Does the defragmenter come with a warranty? Contact XP Metal Detectors or your authorized dealer for warranty information on the Defragmenter accessory. At Serious Detecting, we are an authorized XP dealer, so every defragmenter ships with full manufacturer support.
