Why XP Detectors Stand Apart
XP designs and manufactures all current detectors in France around a fully wireless system: the coil, remote control, and headphones communicate over a proprietary digital protocol with no cables between them. Fast Multi-Frequency (FMF) processes 11 simultaneous multi-frequency programs spanning 4 kHz to 45 kHz in real time. The DEUS II is IP68 rated to 20 meters (66 feet) with the entire kit submersible at depth. XP accessories swap across machines, so an existing user can upgrade incrementally rather than replacing the entire platform. The brand also covers all metal detectors hunters at every level, from weekend coin shooters to full-time relic crews.
XP DEUS II: Fast Multi-Frequency for Serious Hunters
The XP DEUS II is the flagship Fast Multi-Frequency platform. It runs 11 simultaneous multi-frequency programs across seven frequency bands from 4 kHz to 45 kHz, plus a DEUS Mono single-frequency mode built around 7 main frequencies (4.5, 7.5, 13, 17.6, 25, 32, and 40.5 kHz) with 7 large offset steps each, for 49 total single-frequency selections. In black sand and saltwater, FMF holds stable target ID where single-frequency VLF detectors chatter and drift. Every active module carries an IP68 rating to 20 meters / 66 feet, including the coil, the remote control, and the BH-01 bone-conduction headphones. The WS6 Master is a headphone-and-controller hybrid that can run the detector standalone without the dedicated remote. Audio latency between coil and headphone is short enough that hunters do not feel the wireless link in deep iron sites. The DEUS II carries a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
XP DEUS II Configurations Available
DEUS II ships in two main configurations: the RC + WS6 bundle (dedicated Remote Control plus WS6 Master headphones) and the WS6 Master bare-bones package (headphones only, with the WS6 acting as both audio and controller). The 9-inch FMF coil is standard on most US bundles. The 11-inch FMF coil mounts as a balanced ground-coverage upgrade. The 13-by-11-inch FMF elliptical adds depth for plowed relic fields. All three coils share the same IP68 rating to 20 meters.
XP ORX: Lightweight Gold and Relic Detector
The ORX weighs 1 lb 14 oz (~870 g) with the remote hip-mounted and packs down to a 22.8-inch (58 cm) collapsed length. It is XP's lightweight high-frequency VLF option for gold nugget hunters and relic walkers who need a light machine for long days. The 9.5-by-5-inch HF elliptical coil selects between three primary frequencies (14, 28, and 74 kHz) plus 7 wide offset steps each, for 21 selectable frequencies covering 13 to 81 kHz. With the optional 11-inch X35 coil mounted, the ORX shifts into a coin and relic role with 35 frequencies between 3.7 and 27.7 kHz. The wireless protocol pairs the ORX directly with WSAudio headphones and the MI-6 pinpointer. Four factory programs (two gold, two coin) and two user programs cover most ground. The ORX carries a 5-year warranty. See our gold prospecting gear for sluices, classifiers, and recovery tools to round out a nugget-hunting kit.
XP DEUS II Accessories and Upgrade Coils
The DEUS II accessory ecosystem stays inside the XP wireless protocol, so modules pair automatically without USB or Bluetooth setup. The XP MI-6 waterproof pinpointer is IP68 to 20 meters, vibrates and alarms when the target centers, and shares the wireless link with the detector. The WSAudio II and the WS6 Master cover the wireless headphone options: WSA II is the standard XP headphone, and WS6 Master adds a built-in remote control that runs the detector on its own. The 9-inch FMF, 11-inch FMF, and 13-by-11-inch FMF coils are upgrade coils for the DEUS II. Smaller coils tighten separation in trashy colonial sites. Larger coils cover ground on open beach, pasture, and plowed relic fields. Lithium battery packs sell individually for the remote, the headphones, and the coil, so spare batteries fit into a hunting pouch for multi-day trips.
Who Should Buy an XP Detector?
Relic and coin hunters working iron-heavy and mineralized ground get the most from the DEUS II. FMF reads through red clay and volcanic soil that single-frequency machines slur into one long ground signal. Beach and surf hunters benefit from IP68 waterproofing to 20 meters across the full system, with no mode change required moving from dry sand into shallow water. Gold prospectors chasing sub-gram nuggets in desert washes run the ORX with the 9.5-by-5-inch HF elliptical coil set to 74 kHz. Park sweepers prefer the ORX for its 1 lb 14 oz total weight on four-hour swings. Existing DEUS or DEUS II owners can build out the accessory catalog rather than replacing the whole system.
