XP Deus II Metal Detector with Remote, WS6-ST Stereo Headphones and 13x11 in FMF Coil

The XP Deus II RC + WS6-ST with the 13x11 in FMF coil is the full-control version of the XP Deus II in its big-coil setup. It runs FMF (Fast Multi Frequency, several frequencies at once) or any of 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz, with no cables between the coil, the remote control and the WS6-ST stereo headphones. This package suits experienced detectorists who hunt open fields, plowed ground, beaches and shallow water and want the most coverage per swing.

Who the Deus II with the 13x11 in coil is for

The 34x28 cm (13x11 in) FMF coil covers more ground per sweep than the 9 in or 11 in FMF coils, which makes it the coil for large open sites: farm fields, sports fields, wide beaches and wading the surf. It is also the heaviest of the three at 570 g (about 20 oz), against 470 g for the 11 in and 345 g for the 9 in.

If you mostly hunt trashy city parks, old house sites full of iron, or tight spots between roots and fences, the 9 in or 11 in coil will be easier to work and separate targets better in close quarters. Both are sold in the same RC + WS6-ST package, and every configuration is in our XP Deus II collection. If you are new to detecting, a simpler machine from our multi-frequency metal detectors collection will get you hunting with less setup.

Key features and what they mean in the field

• FMF or 49 single frequencies, 4 to 45 kHz. FMF programs stay stable on wet salt sand and in mineralized ground, while single frequencies let you go low for deep silver or high for small gold and thin jewelry.
• Fully wireless, XP's own radio protocol. No coil cable to snag or break, and the target signal reaches the headphones without the lag of Bluetooth.
• WS6-ST stereo headphones with built-in controls. Stereo sound, a 64x64 px screen with target ID, and battery levels for the headphones and coil. The WS6-ST can also run the detector as a stand-alone unit, so you can hunt without the remote when you want to travel light.
• Remote control waterproof to 20 m (66 ft). The remote is IP68 rated and comes with two plugs: grey for land and shallow use to 1 m, red for diving to 20 m.
• 12 factory programs plus 12 user programs. Start from a coin, relic, beach or gold program and save your own versions for the sites you hunt most.
• Ground balance: tracking, grab and manual. Covers everything from neutral park soil to hot ground and wet salt sand.
• Rechargeable lithium batteries throughout. All three units charge in about 3 hours.

Where the Deus II with the 13x11 in coil works well, and where it does not

Open fields and farmland

On plowed fields, pasture and sports fields the 13x11 in coil earns its weight: each swing covers a wider strip, so you search an acre in fewer passes. FMF programs hold steady over mineralized farm soil.

Saltwater beaches, surf and shallow water

FMF keeps the Deus II stable on wet salt sand where single-frequency detectors get noisy. The coil and remote are waterproof to 20 m (66 ft); the antenna has to be fitted when the coil goes underwater. The WS6-ST headphones are weatherproof, not submersible, so for wading deep or diving use the BH-01 bone conduction headphones or a waterproof wired headset on the remote. See our beach metal detectors and underwater and waterproof metal detectors collections.

Gold and mineralized ground

Single frequencies up to 45 kHz give the Deus II sensitivity to small gold, and the ground balance options handle hot ground. For nugget hunting the smaller coils are usually the better choice, since small gold responds best near the center of a small coil. Compare dedicated machines in our gold detectors collection.

Trashy parks and iron-heavy relic sites

A large coil sees more targets at once, which makes separating a good target from nearby iron harder. In heavy trash, swap to the 9 in coil or buy a 9 in package. For relic hunting in open fields, the 13x11 in coil is a strong fit. More options are in our relic and treasure metal detectors collection.

How this package differs from the other Deus II 13x11 in configurations

• Deus II RC with 13x11 in coil (no headphones): same remote, stem and coil, but no wireless headphones. Pick it if you already own XP wireless headphones or plan to use a wired or bone conduction headset. It sits in a lower price band.
• Deus II WS6-ST Master packages (9 in or 11 in coil): no remote control. The WS6-ST runs the detector on its own. Lighter and in a lower price band, but without the remote you lose the remote's diving setup and its connector for wired or bone conduction headphones.
• Deus II RC + WS6-ST with 9 in or 11 in coil: identical electronics and headphones, with a smaller, lighter coil that suits trashy parks and tight sites.
