Which detectors the HF elliptical coil fits
XP lists its X35 and HF coils, this one included, for the original DEUS and the ORX. New coils pair by entering the coil's serial number on the remote, and XP's DEUS manual says an added coil must be paired with both the remote and the headphones. For the XP DEUS II, ICON and ICONX, XP makes its FMF coils and the HF2, a different elliptical coil. Every XP part sorted by detector is on our XP parts and accessories by detector model page.
When to use the HF elliptical coil
The HF elliptical gives 21 frequencies from 13 to 80 kHz, grouped around three main frequencies with seven wide shifts each, and it is the coil that takes the DEUS and ORX to the top of their 4 to 80 kHz range. XP calls it an extremely sensitive coil, and its narrow 9.5 x 5 inch shape fits between obstacles in tight spots.
At 330 g (11.6 oz) it is the lightest of XP's X35 and HF coils for the DEUS and ORX. XP rates its built-in lithium battery at 13 to 20 hours depending on frequency and power, and it charges with XP's coil charging clamp. The HF coils run at a fixed transmit power, and XP says the XP HF coils are certified LONGTIME, its label for products designed to last. XP rates the coil waterproof to 6 m (20 ft), and XP's DEUS manual adds that a fully submerged coil needs the aerial antenna from XP's waterproof kit to keep the radio link.
The HF elliptical is the precision pick for small gold, tiny relics and tight gaps, where a narrow nose and high frequencies count for more than coverage. The same sensitivity answers to foil, wire and small iron bits, so expect to dig more fine junk. On open ground with coin-sized targets at depth, an X35 coil covers far more ground per pass. Order by the DELLHF reference: the DEUS II HF2 looks similar but belongs to a different coil family. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size trades coverage for separation.
