XP ICON Metal Detector

XP ICON: XP Performance, Made Accessible

XP built its reputation on the DEUS and DEUS II: fully wireless, French-engineered detectors that set the standard for lightweight performance. The XP ICON brings that same DNA to a simpler, more affordable machine. It uses the same simultaneous FMF multi-frequency technology, the same cable-free design, and the same XP build quality, stripped down to the controls most detectorists actually use: a clean remote, a handful of ready-to-run factory programs, and instant wireless pairing. The result is a metal detector you can hand to a first-timer or throw in the truck as a featherweight backup, without giving up depth or target ID.

ICON vs ICONX: Which XP ICON Is Right for You?

The two models share one core and differ in how far you can push them. The XP ICON runs three factory plus three user programs, multi-frequency plus two single frequencies (4 and 14 kHz), five reactivity levels, and an S-Telescopic Lite stem at about 735 g. The XP ICONX steps up to six factory plus six user programs, a third single frequency (28 kHz) for small and high-conductivity targets, seven reactivity levels, finer 0.5-point discrimination, and a lighter S-Telescopic Lite stem with a carbon middle section at about 710 g. In short: ICON is the simplest path into XP, and ICONX is for hunters who want more frequency range, finer tuning, and the lightest possible build. Both are also offered bundled with XP's WSA ST wireless headphones, and the ICON is also available with WSA-XL ST headphones or as the Adventure Pack.

Built on Proven XP Technology

Under the simplicity is real XP engineering. The ICON range runs simultaneous FMF multi-frequency with automatic and manual frequency shift, and is compatible with the DEUS II FMF and HF2 coil lineup, so the detector grows with you. It's IP68 waterproof, rated to 1.5 m out of the box with the remote cap closed and to 5 m (16 ft) with the BH-02 bone conduction headset, with 25 sensitivity levels, grab/manual/auto ground balance, a 28-segment multi-notch, and a sunlight-readable LCD. Everything is wireless: the MI-6 pinpointer, XP wireless and ST headphones, and the remote all talk over XP's roughly 4-millisecond low-latency protocol across 36 channels, and the XP Go Terrain app logs your routes and finds by GPS. Battery life runs around 11 hours with a roughly 3-hour charge.

Designed & Made in France, Built to Last

Like every XP detector, the ICON range is designed and manufactured in France, and it carries XP's 5-year warranty (an optional XP 5-year warranty extension for FMF coils is available), plus the Longtime® label for durability and repairability. These are detectors built to be maintained and upgraded over years, not replaced, which is part of why XP holds its value in the used market. Register your detector with XP after purchase to activate the full warranty.
