XP Deus II Metal Detector with 11 in FMF and HF2 Coils, MI-6 Pinpointer and WSA ST Headphones

The XP Deus II remote control version with the standard 11 in FMF coil, plus three XP accessories made for it: the HF2 9.5 x 5 in high-frequency elliptical coil, the MI-6 wireless pinpointer and the WSA ST wireless stereo headphones. It is for the detectorist who wants one XP Deus II for parks, beaches and fields, and a second coil ready for small gold and tight, iron-heavy ground.

Who is this for

Buy it if you already know you will hunt two kinds of ground. The 11 in coil is the all-round coil for open parks, fields and wet sand. The HF2 is the coil we would put on for small gold nuggets, thin and low-conductive targets, and sites where iron and roots leave little room to swing. Bought together with the pinpointer and headphones, every piece pairs to the same remote and talks over XP's own wireless link.

Look at something else if:

• You will only ever use one coil. The Deus II with just the 11 in coil, and the other Deus II packages, are in the XP Deus II collection.
• You want a simpler XP machine at a lower price band. Look at the XP ICON.
• You plan to dive or hunt with your head underwater. The WSA ST headphones in this package are rainproof, not submersible. For diving you would add XP's waterproof bone conduction headphones, sold separately in our metal detector headphones collection.

Two coils, two jobs

XP Deus II 11 in FMF coil (included with the detector). XP gives it simultaneous Fast Multi Frequency programs or 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz. This is the coil that stays on the Deus II for most park, beach and field hunting.

XP HF2 9.5 x 5 in elliptical coil (added). XP builds the HF2 around three multi-frequency ranges picked with the FREQ MAX setting: 9 to 27 kHz, 17 to 53 kHz and 17 to 90 kHz, with 7 shifts in each range for 21 multi frequencies in total. In single-frequency mode it reaches 120 kHz across 49 frequencies. It weighs 350 g. We would swap to the HF2 for prospecting hot ground for small gold, for hammered silver and other thin targets, and for working between foundation stones, brush and roots where the narrow elliptical shape fits and a round coil does not. Our coil guide explains how coil size and shape change depth and target separation.

Both coils are waterproof to 20 m (66 ft) according to XP. The Deus II remote is rated to 20 m (66 ft) with the red diving cap fitted; with the gray cap XP rates it to 1 m (3 ft). The included antenna must be fitted to the remote when the coil is submerged, because the radio link does not travel through water without it.

The pinpointer and headphones in the system

XP MI-6 pinpointer. Once paired with the Deus II, the XP MI-6 sends its signal to your headphones, lets you set its sensitivity and tone from the remote, shows a location chart on the remote screen, and can be found with the detector if you lose it, even when it is switched off. Used on its own it has 3 sensitivity levels; linked to the Deus II it has up to 50. XP rates it water resistant to 6 m (20 ft), with a 12 kHz detection frequency and a weight of 170 g. Our pinpointer guide compares it with other pinpointers.

XP WSA ST headphones. Stereo, foldable and rainproof, at 72 g. Volume (10 levels) and a 4-band equalizer are set from the Deus II remote or on the headphones. They charge over USB-C in 2 hours. XP describes its wireless protocol as about 10 times faster than low-latency Bluetooth. XP lists them as working with the Deus II and ICON/ICONX remotes, or with a WS6 or WS6-ST used as the master control.

Charging and runtime

• Deus II remote control: XP's Deus II page says up to 25 hours; XP's manual gives about 15 to 30 hours depending on audio output.
• 11 in FMF coil: up to 20 hours, depending on program and frequency (XP)
• HF2 coil: 10 hours on XP's product page and over 10 hours in XP's launch notes, depending on frequency and power. XP gives 4 h 30 min to reach 95% and 6 h 30 min for a full charge, so the HF2 is the piece to put on the charger first.
• WSA ST headphones: 2-hour USB-C charge. XP does not publish a runtime for the WSA ST.
• XP states the remote, coil and headphones of the Deus II system charge in about 3 hours.

Where this setup works well, and its limits

• Beach and wet sand: both coils are rated to 20 m (66 ft), the remote to 20 m with its red diving cap, and the MI-6 is water resistant to 6 m (20 ft). The WSA ST is rainproof only, so keep the headphones above the water.
• Mineralized ground and small gold: the HF2's higher frequencies are the reason to buy this package over the detector alone.
• Trashy parks and iron-heavy relic sites: the narrow HF2 fits between obstacles; the 11 in coil covers open ground faster.
• Long sessions: the WSA ST at 72 g and the HF2 at 350 g keep the setup light on the head and arm.

Warranty

XP covers the Deus II remote, coils and wireless headphones for 5 years. Lithium batteries, including the WSA ST battery, are covered for 2 years. The MI-6 pinpointer carries a 2-year warranty. Each item keeps its own XP warranty inside this package.
