This detector runs 21 selectable frequencies from 13 kHz to 59 kHz, letting you tune detection depth and small-target sensitivity to match your terrain. The ORX ships with four factory programs (two gold, two coin) and two user-customizable slots, so you can start hunting immediately or dial in your own settings as you learn the machine. Weighing 1 pound 14 ounces with the remote hip-mounted, the ORX uses XP's patented S-telescopic Lite stem for fast deployment and tool-free coil swaps in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the XP ORX\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eXP ORX metal detector with 9-inch HF round coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eORX remote control with backlit display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS-telescopic Lite stem (folds for transport)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLithium rechargeable batteries (up to 20 hours runtime)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB charging cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/ORX-22HFRCE_001.jpg\" alt=\"XP ORX metal detector system with control box, 9-inch coil, armrest, headphones, and accessories displayed\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHigh-Frequency Gold Detection in Variable Mineralization\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLow to Average Mineralization\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ORX's Gold program runs best in soils with moderate iron content and stable ground phase.

The detector's ground balance system offers manual adjustment from 60 to 90 or automatic fast-grab tracking, so you can lock in stable threshold when you move between soil types. Discrimination in the Gold program uses five levels of IAR (Iron Amplitude Rejection) to filter ferrous trash without masking adjacent non-ferrous targets. This mode pairs well with the 9-inch HF coil's coverage and depth in open ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHeavy Mineralization and Fine Gold\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch to Fine Gold mode when you're working ironstone country, black sand concentrations, or volcanic soils with high magnetic susceptibility. This program prioritizes sensitivity to small and medium-sized nuggets by tightening the detector's response window and running higher frequency options. The ORX's 21-frequency range includes 50 kHz and 59 kHz settings, both effective on sub-gram gold that lower-frequency machines miss. You'll sacrifice some depth on larger targets, but the trade is worth it when you're chasing flour gold or picker-sized pieces in trashy bedrock pockets. The wireless link between coil and remote keeps cables out of brush and rock crevices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSaltwater Beaches and Wet Sand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 9-inch HF coil is fully waterproof, and the ORX includes a salt mode with ground rejection settings from 0 to 25. This lets you hunt the surf line and wet sand without constant falsing from conductive saltwater. Coin Fast mode works well for recent drops and shallow jewelry in dry sand, while Coin Deep mode reaches older targets in uncontaminated areas above the tide line. The detector's fast target response speed helps you separate good signals from bottle caps and pull tabs in high-traffic zones. For extended beach sessions, the ORX's lightweight build reduces arm fatigue when you're swinging long transects parallel to the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWireless Architecture and Field Ergonomics\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXP's patented radio frequency wireless system eliminates cables between the coil, remote control, and optional headphones. The coil and remote communicate via a digital radio link, so you can mount the control box on your hip or chest mount and swing the detector without tangled wires. The S-telescopic Lite stem folds in seconds for transport and extends to fit your height without tools. Coil changes take less than a minute in the field when you want to swap between the 9-inch HF and an X35 coil for different hunt scenarios. The remote's backlit LCD display shows target ID from 0 to 99, iron probability percentage, and real-time ground balance readings.

The ORX's fast reactivity setting (four levels available) lets you separate small nuggets from ferrous fragments in the same swing. Ground balance stays stable across phase shifts that would force constant retuning on fixed-frequency detectors. The elliptical coil shape reduces ground coupling compared to a round coil of the same surface area, so you get cleaner threshold in patches of magnetic soil. The Fine Gold program at its highest frequency provides maximum sensitivity to small gold targets, accepting the shallower depth in exchange for hearing targets other detectors miss entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSaltwater Beach and Wet Sand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ORX includes a salt mode with ground rejection, letting you hunt the surf line and wet sand without the false signals that plague \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/collections\/very-low-frequency-vlf-metal-detectors\"\u003eVLF detectors\u003c\/a\u003e in conductive environments.

Four levels of reactivity let you tune target separation to match trash density. In a site with moderate junk, adjusting reactivity gives you enough recovery speed to hear a coin signal between two nails without the instability that comes from maxing out the setting. The elliptical coil's narrow profile works well in tight rows between playground equipment and along fence lines where a larger round coil would bang obstacles. The ORX's target ID runs from 0 to 99 with iron probability displayed as a percentage, so you can make dig decisions based on conductivity and ferrous content together. Discrimination offers 99 levels of granularity, letting you notch out specific trash signatures while accepting coins and jewelry in adjacent conductivity bands. The detector's fast target response speed means you'll hear a dime signal immediately after a nail signal in the same swing, a capability that separates the ORX from slower-recovery machines in high-trash environments.

The detector's frequency shift feature lets you fine-tune each base frequency to avoid electromagnetic interference from power lines, radio towers, or other detectors operating nearby. You'll use this capability in urban parks where electrical noise would otherwise destabilize threshold on a fixed-frequency machine. The ORX's discrimination system combines IAR (Iron Amplitude Rejection) with normal discrimination modes, so you can filter ferrous trash in gold-bearing ground without losing small nuggets that share conductivity ranges with iron fragments. The target ID system displays both conductivity (0 to 99) and iron probability as a percentage, giving you two data points to decide if a signal is worth digging. In practice, this dual-readout system helps you separate rusty bottle caps from silver coins in the same conductivity band, a distinction that single-number target ID systems struggle to make. Hunters working sites with mixed trash density can save custom programs to the two user slots, dialing in discrimination thresholds and reactivity settings for specific environments without losing the factory presets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePinpoint Function and Target Zoom\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ORX's pinpoint function lets you center over a target by pressing the pinpoint button, then use the zoom feature to gauge depth and isolate the signal from adjacent junk. In a trashy site where multiple targets sit within the coil's footprint, the zoom function narrows the detection field so you can identify which signal is the good target and which is the nail or foil fragment sitting inches away. This capability speeds up recovery in contaminated ground where digging every signal would waste time on junk. The pinpoint mode also helps you mark target locations for grid searches in open fields, letting you flag multiple signals before you start digging so you can work the site methodically rather than wandering between scattered hits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/orxfaq.jpg?v=1761111153\" alt=\"XP ORX metal detector with control panel and coil displayed, user in field holding detector near historic ruins\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoil Compatibility and Field Swaps\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ORX is compatible with XP's X35 coil range in addition to the high-frequency coils it ships with. X35 coils run 35 selectable frequencies and cover lower frequency bands for deeper detection on larger targets. You can swap coils in the field without tools, so if you're working a site where depth matters more than small-target sensitivity, you can switch to an 11-inch X35 coil mid-session. The wireless architecture means coil swaps take seconds: disconnect the old coil, snap on the new one, and the detector automatically recognizes the coil type and adjusts available frequency ranges. This modularity lets you build a detector system tailored to your local ground conditions and target types rather than buying separate machines for gold prospecting and coin hunting. Detectorists who hunt both mineralized gold country and urban parks often run the elliptical HF coil for gold work and keep a 9-inch X35 coil for coin sites, swapping between them as needed.

The lithium batteries perform well in cold weather down to the lower operating limit, though runtime drops slightly in freezing conditions as battery chemistry slows. In hot desert environments, keep the remote control out of direct sun when you're not actively hunting to avoid overheating the internal electronics. The coil is waterproof and submersible, but the remote control is splash-resistant only, so mount it on your hip or chest when you're working the surf zone. For full submersion detecting, XP offers an optional antenna that lets you submerge the coil while keeping the remote above water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompare within the family\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/products\/xp-orx-metal-detector-with-9-hf-coil\"\u003eORX 9\" HF\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/products\/xp-orx-wireless-metal-detector-with-9-x-35-search-coil\"\u003eORX 9\" X35\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/seriousdetecting.com\/products\/xp-orx-wireless-metal-detector-with-back-lit-display-11-x35-search-coil\"\u003eORX 11\" X35\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eORX 9.5\" Elliptical HF\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoil included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9in round HF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9in round X35 DD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11in round X35 DD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9.5in elliptical DD HF\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequencies\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 (13 to 59 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 (3.7 to 27.7 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35 (3.7 to 27.7 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 (15 to 80 kHz)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFactory programs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 (Gold x2, Coin x2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 (Gold x2, Coin x2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 (Gold x2, Coin x2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 (Gold x2, Coin x2)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 lb 14 oz (870g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 lb 14 oz (870g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 lb 14 oz (870g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 lb 14 oz (870g)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery life\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Frequencies:\u003c\/strong\u003e 21 selectable (15 kHz to 80 kHz with shift)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9.5in elliptical DD, waterproof, wireless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 lb 14 oz (870g) with batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 to 28 hours (coil), 19 hours (remote)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lithium polymer rechargeable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWireless:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.4 GHz digital, 36 automatic channels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8192 pixels, backlit LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic or manual (60 to 90)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrimination:\u003c\/strong\u003e IAR + Normal, 99 levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget ID:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 to 99 with iron probability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReactivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFactory Programs:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 + 2 customizable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Temperature:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23°F to 104°F (-5°C to +40°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStem:\u003c\/strong\u003e S-telescopic Lite, folds to 58cm, deploys to 130cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 years parts and labor, 2 years battery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Serious Detecting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery XP ORX ships with a full manufacturer warranty backed directly by XP's specialized technical support team.
