The XP Deus II (often written Deus 2) is the first fully wireless metal detector to run true simultaneous multi-frequency detection, transmitting across the 4-45 kHz spectrum in real time through XP's FMF (Fast Multi Frequency) technology. This configuration is the two-coil kit: the remote control, S-telescopic stem, and both the 9" round FMF coil and the 13x11" elliptical FMF coil, so you own the tight-space coil and the depth-and-coverage coil from day one instead of buying the second one later. The coils, remote, and optional headphones communicate over XP's patented radio link with no latency, and the whole system is waterproof to 20 meters (66 feet).
What's Included with the XP Deus II Two-Coil Bundle
- XP Deus II remote control with backlit graphic display and hip-mount case
- 9" (22.5 cm) round FMF search coil with coil cover
- 13x11" (34x28 cm) elliptical FMF search coil with coil cover
- S-telescopic stem with lower stem
- Aerial antenna for underwater use with clip
- Gray cap for the remote and red cap for diving
- Charging cable for coils, remote, and firmware updates
- Connection clamp
Why Buy the Deus II with Both Coils
- Two coils, two jobs: the 9" round separates targets in iron-choked parks, cellar holes, and tot lots; the 13x11" elliptical covers open fields and beaches faster with more depth on deep silver and large relics.
- Swap in seconds: both coils pair to the same remote, each keeps its own settings, and the wireless design means no cable to unplug.
- Cheaper than adding the second coil later: the 13x11" FMF coil sold on its own is a significant purchase; the bundle price undercuts buying the single-coil kit plus a second coil.
- Same FMF engine on both: 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz or simultaneous multi-frequency programs, so a silver dime and a gold chain both signal cleanly on the same pass.
- Waterproof to 20 meters with the aerial antenna, wireless from coil to remote to headphones, and starting at 750 grams for the full detector.
FMF Multi-Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Wet Salt
The Deus II runs FMF across 49 selectable single frequencies (4-45 kHz) or simultaneous multi-frequency programs that cover the full spectrum at once. Simultaneous transmission means you're not toggling between frequencies to optimize for a target type; the detector processes all frequencies in parallel. We've hunted the XP Deus II lineup in Arizona caliche and Gulf Coast wet sand; the multi-frequency stability eliminates the ground-noise spikes single-frequency VLF units throw in hot soil.
Parks and Trashy Sites with the 9" Coil
The 9" coil fits between playground equipment and benches, and the FMF programs handle trashy sites without masking. Reactivity settings let you slow the recovery speed for deep coins or crank it for high-trash environments where target separation matters. The remote's discrimination range is wide enough to notch out aluminum pull tabs while keeping nickels and gold jewelry in the accept zone.
Open Fields and Beaches with the 13x11" Coil
Mount the 13x11" for plowed fields, pasture, and long beach transects. The elliptical footprint covers more ground per swing than the 9" and reaches deeper on coin-sized and larger targets, while staying manageable on the S-telescopic stem for full-day hunts. On wet salt sand, FMF holds ground balance where single-frequency machines drift with the tide. Both coils are IP68-rated for full submersion; the remote is splash-resistant and rides on your hip in the included case.
Gold Prospecting in Ironstone Terrain
The high end of the FMF spectrum (40-45 kHz) delivers sensitivity to sub-gram nuggets in mineralized soil. The 9" coil's smaller footprint reduces ground noise in hot rocks, and ground tracking or manual grab modes adapt to shifting mineralization between ironstone patches and decomposed granite. The non-motion pinpoint mode shrinks the target zone before you dig in rocky ground.
Lightweight Ergonomics and Wireless Freedom
- Ultra-light platform starting at 750 grams (1.65 lb): the S-telescopic stem collapses for transport and extends to fit arm length without adding weight.
- Wireless architecture eliminates cable snag in brush and thick cover; the remote mounts on your hip and XP wireless headphones (sold separately) pair to the same link.
- Independent volume for remote, wireless headphones, and bone-conduction headphones, with a four-band equalizer per output.
- Remote runs up to 25 hours and each coil up to 20 hours per charge; the included cable charges all components in about three hours.
- 12 factory programs plus 12 user-programmable slots covering general, beach, gold, and relic hunting.
