The XP Deus II is a wireless multi-frequency metal detector that runs Fast Multi Frequency (FMF) technology across a 4 to 45 kHz range, giving detectorists stable depth on coins and relics while maintaining high sensitivity to small gold targets. The system pairs a 9.5-inch by 5-inch elliptical high-frequency coil with a wireless remote control and the specialized WSA ST wireless headphones. Communicating via XP's patented radio protocol with zero latency, these headphones are not just passive speakers—the WSA ST module features integrated controls allowing you to adjust volume and change programs directly from your ears when the remote control is hip-mounted. Built for detectorists who hunt varied terrain in a single session, the Deus II is waterproof to 66 feet (20 meters) and ships with 12 factory programs plus 12 user-customizable slots. When buying premium French-engineered gear, purchasing from an authorized XP dealer ensures your machine carries an authentic factory serial number backed by a full five-year manufacturer warranty and dedicated technical support.

Fast Multi Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Saltwater
Parks and Trashy Urban Sites
The XP Deus II metal detector runs simultaneous multi-frequency transmission from 4 to 45 kHz, so you're not switching between single frequencies to chase different target types. In iron-contaminated parks where older detectors see nail falsing and masked targets, the Deus II's FMF engine separates coin signals from adjacent iron without the recovery-speed penalty of running a slow sweep. The 9.5-inch by 5-inch elliptical coil shape covers ground faster than a round coil of similar surface area and fits between playground equipment, fence posts, and tree roots where circular coils hang up. Twelve factory programs include dedicated park and field modes with preset discrimination patterns, so you can start hunting immediately without manual ground balancing or threshold tuning.
Beach and Saltwater Hunting
Waterproof to 66 feet (20 meters), the Deus II handles wet sand, surf wading, and shallow-water diving without housing leaks or control-box failures. The detector's multi-frequency transmission stays stable in saltwater mineralization that causes single-frequency machines to chatter and lose depth. We've run the Deus II in knee-deep surf on Gulf Coast beaches where the wet sand phase shifts with every wave cycle, and the detector tracks ground changes without constant rebalancing. The wireless headphones are fully submersible, so you hear target tones underwater without surface-mounted speakers or bone-conduction rigs. The aerial antenna (included in the box) replaces the standard antenna for underwater hunts, maintaining wireless communication between coil, remote, and headphones at depth.
Gold Prospecting in Variable Mineralization
The Deus II's frequency range extends to 45 kHz, giving you sensitivity to sub-gram gold nuggets in decomposed granite, alluvial benches, and dry washes. Multi-frequency transmission lets you run high and low frequencies simultaneously, so you're not sacrificing depth on larger nuggets to chase small gold or vice versa. In hot-rock country where single-frequency detectors see false signals from magnetite and hematite, the Deus II's ground-balancing system adjusts across the full frequency spread, reducing hot-rock chatter without killing faint nugget signals. The elliptical coil slips between rocks and sagebrush where round coils catch on terrain, and the lightweight S-telescopic stem (detector weighs under 3 pounds with the remote hip-mounted) reduces arm fatigue on long prospecting transects.

Wireless Architecture and Field Ergonomics
- Zero-latency wireless communication: coil, remote, and headphones pair via XP's patented radio protocol, transmitting target signals without the delay or audio lag that plagues Bluetooth systems, so you hear faint targets and iron grunts in real time.
- Hip-mounted remote control: the backlit display and all settings adjustments live on the remote, which rides in the included hipmount case, dropping shaft weight to under 2 pounds and eliminating wrist strain on long hunts.
- Tool-free stem assembly: the S-telescopic stem collapses for transport and extends without twist locks or cam levers, so you're hunting within 60 seconds of opening the case, and coil swaps in the field require no tools or fasteners.
- Twenty-five-hour battery life: the remote runs up to 25 hours on a charge (actual runtime depends on backlight use and audio output settings), and the included charging cable powers all three wireless components simultaneously, so you're not juggling multiple chargers in the field.
- Twelve factory programs plus twelve user slots: start with a preset park, beach, or gold program and save your custom settings to one of the user slots as you learn the machine, so you're not re-entering discrimination patterns and sensitivity levels every hunt.
