XP ICON Fast Multi-Frequency Metal Detector with WSA ST Headphones and 11-Inch FMF Coil

The XP ICON is a simultaneous multi-frequency metal detector that pairs FMF technology with wireless operation, IP68 waterproof construction rated to 1.5 meters (5 feet) out of the box, and an intuitive remote interface designed for detectorists who want modern performance without menu complexity. Built in France and compatible with the Deus II FMF coil ecosystem, the ICON ships with WSA ST wireless headphones, an 11-inch FMF coil, and three factory programs that let you power on and start hunting parks, plowed fields, wet sand, and shallow water within seconds. At about 735 grams (1.6 pounds) fully equipped, the ICON keeps wrist fatigue down during long sessions, and the wireless protocol eliminates latency between coil, remote, and headset so you hear targets the instant the coil passes over them.

What's Included with the XP ICON

• XP ICON metal detector with 11-inch FMF coil
• ICON remote control with 3 factory programs and 3 user slots
• Blue S-Telescopic Lite Stem
• WSA ST wireless headphones
• Rechargeable batteries for remote, coil, and headphones

Simultaneous Multi-Frequency FMF Performance Across Mixed Ground

The ICON utilizes advanced metal detector technologies to transmit multiple frequencies at once rather than cycling through them sequentially, so you're not choosing between depth on high-conductors like silver and sensitivity to low-conductors like small gold or foil jewelry. This matters most in mineralized soil, wet salt sand, and trashy parks where single-frequency detectors either miss small targets or chatter on ground noise. FMF technology stabilizes target ID across changing ground conditions, and the automatic frequency shift feature moves away from EMI when you're hunting near power lines, cell towers, or other detectors.

Parks & Lawns

The 11-inch coil covers ground quickly in open turf, and the five reactivity levels let you dial in target separation when you're working a tot lot or a trashy picnic area where pull tabs, bottle caps, and aluminum scraps surround the clad and jewelry you're after. The 28-segment discrimination scale gives you enough resolution to notch out specific trash signals without blanking entire conductivity ranges, and the Full Tones audio mode assigns a unique pitch to each segment so you can hear the difference between a zinc penny and a copper memorial cent before you dig.

Beach & Saltwater

Wet salt sand loads single-frequency detectors with ground noise that either forces you to reduce sensitivity or listen through constant chatter. The ICON's FMF transmission handles wet sand and shallow surf without the ground-balance drift that kills depth on older machines, and the IP68 rating of 1.5 meters (5 feet) out of the box with the remote cap closed means you can wade in calm water or hunt the wet sand line after a storm without worrying about a wave soaking the control housing. For full underwater detecting to 5 meters (16 feet), XP offers the optional BH-02 bone conduction headset.

Farm Fields & Mineralized Soil

Plowed dirt and red clay carry iron minerals that single-frequency VLF detectors read as false signals or ground noise. The ICON's ground balance offers three modes: Grab for quick calibration when you move between field sections, Manual for fine-tuning over hot rocks or variable soil, and Tracking for continuous automatic adjustment as you walk. The iron volume control lets you hear ferrous targets at a lower level than non-ferrous ones, so you can identify a rusty nail or a plow blade without digging it while still catching the colonial coppers and silver reales that share the same fields.

Lightweight Wireless Design for All-Day Comfort

• No latency between coil and headset: XP's digital wireless protocol transmits audio instantly, so you hear the target signal the moment the coil registers it, not 50 milliseconds later when the tone is already fading.
• Collapsible stem folds to 58 cm: the S-Telescopic Lite Stem extends to 130 cm for tall hunters and collapses for transport in a daypack or car trunk.
• 11-hour battery life across all components: remote, coil, and headphones each run approximately 11 hours on a full charge, and the system recharges in about 3 hours.
• Detachable armcup: the armcup unclips for hunters who prefer a hip-mount carry or a chest mount on long walks.
• Sunlight-readable LCD display with adjustable backlight: the screen stays visible in direct sun and dims for low-light hunts without draining the battery.

Compare Within the Family

The ICON, ICON with WSA ST headphones, ICONX, and ICONX with WSA ST headphones share the same FMF coil and wireless architecture but differ in program slots, mono frequencies, and reactivity range.
