XP Metal Detectors - Authorized US Dealer

XP Metal Detectors is a French manufacturer known for lightweight, wireless metal detectors built around fast recovery speed and full customization. The flagship Deus II is a fully waterproof, multi-frequency detector that handles coins, relics, beach, and freshwater hunting from a single wireless platform - and it's one of the lightest high-performance detectors made. Alongside it, the original Deus, the simplified ORX, and the newer Icon round out a lineup that's earned a devoted following among serious detectorists.

As an authorized XP dealer, Serious Detecting stocks the full range - detectors, coils, remotes, headphones, pinpointers, and shafts, plus free US shipping over $99.

DEUS II, ORX, and Legacy XP Platforms in This Collection

The XP lineup spans three technology generations. The DEUS II is the current flagship, combining simultaneous multi-frequency processing with 20-meter submersion rating and a modular remote-and-headphone ecosystem. The ORX targets gold prospectors and relic hunters who prioritize ultralight weight and single high-frequency operation. Legacy models include the original DEUS and ORX variants, each built on XP's wireless coil-to-controller protocol. Open-box and demo units offer inspected, discounted entry points across the range.

Picking Between Fast Multi-Frequency DEUS II and Single-Frequency ORX

DEUS II processes up to nine frequencies simultaneously from 4 kHz to 45 kHz, letting you adapt to mineralized soil, saltwater beaches, and iron-laden relic sites without swapping coils. The platform is IP68 rated to 66 feet, making it the choice for surf hunting and freshwater wading. ORX runs a single selectable frequency optimized for small gold and shallow relics, and its 1 lb 14 oz weight reduces fatigue on long prospecting hikes. Both detectors share the wireless architecture, so coil-to-controller latency stays below 20 milliseconds with no cable drag.

Wireless Architecture and Field Reliability Across XP Models

Every XP detector communicates over a 2.4 GHz digital link between coil, remote, and headphones. The protocol eliminates EMI from cables and lets you configure the system as coil-only with headphones, coil plus remote, or the full three-piece setup. Battery life on the DEUS II coil reaches 20 hours on a single charge; ORX coils run 13 hours. The modular design means you can upgrade remotes or add coils without replacing the entire detector. Field techs report low failure rates on the wireless boards, and XP's European service network supports US dealers with two-day parts turnaround.

Selecting Coil Configurations for Relic Hunting and Gold Prospecting

DEUS II coils range from the 9-inch round for tight-spaced relics to the 13-inch elliptical for depth on large targets. All DEUS II coils are IP68 submersible and run the full FMF frequency range. ORX coils include the 9.5-inch elliptical HF for general prospecting and the 5.5-inch round for bedrock crevices and trashy patches. Coil selection hinges on target size and ground coverage: larger coils gain depth on coin-sized and larger targets, smaller coils resolve individual signals in iron-contaminated relic sites. Our team runs the 11-inch round on the DEUS II for park hunting and the 9.5-inch HF on the ORX in desert washes, where hot rocks and small-grain gold demand tight discrimination and low reactivity settings. XP's wireless technology ensures each coil swap takes under 30 seconds with automatic frequency-range detection.
