XP DEUS MI-6 Waterproof Pinpointer Metal Detector and XP Finds Pouch

The XP MI-6 waterproof pinpointer with an XP finds pouch is XP's wireless pinpointer, linking to compatible XP detectors so its audio and settings run through the detector, for XP owners who want one coordinated setup. XP packs it with a holster, lanyard and charging cable, and we add the XP finds pouch.

What is in the box with the XP MI-6 bundle

XP's standard contents for the MI-6

The XP finds pouch keeps your finds together on the hunt.

XP MI-6 wireless features

• Compatible XP detectors: XP lists the XP DEUS II, XP ORX, XP ICON and ICONX, and the original XP DEUS for the wireless link.
• One audio system: once paired, the MI-6 switches to program 7, its vibration stops and its sound goes to the detector, so you hear it in your headphones.
• Settings on the detector: with a DEUS II or ORX, XP lists 50 sensitivity levels, adjustable tones, 2 audio modes, a battery level display and 4 programs, set from the remote.
• Lost MI-6 search: with a DEUS II or ORX, the detector can search for a lost MI-6, even when the MI-6 is switched off.
• Battery: about 90 hours when paired in program 7.

Key features of the XP MI-6

• Waterproof to 6 m (20 ft): XP's rating for the MI-6.
• Three sensitivity levels, six programs: see the program table below.
• Pitch or Pulse audio: Pitch, the default, varies tone and intensity for easier location; Pulse is louder for noisy places, with less precise location.
• LED, vibration and speaker: each can be switched on or off; turning off the LED, or the vibration on programs 1 to 3, extends battery life.
• Retune: press the button briefly away from metal to recalibrate. On mineralized ground or in salt water, recalibrate while touching the ground, and recalibrate close to a target to narrow the detection zone for more precise location.
• Front and 360 degree detection at 12 kHz.
• Rechargeable lithium polymer battery: a full charge takes about 3 hours from a USB source with the supplied cable.
• Auto off after 5 minutes without a button press.
• Made in France.

XP MI-6 standalone programs

Used on its own, six programs combine three sensitivity levels with the speaker on or off. The pinpointer starts on program 2 the first time and then on the last program used; hold the button for 5 seconds, then press it once per program number to change. XP recommends programs 1 and 2 for precise target location.

XP MI-6 battery life

Used on its own, battery life depends on which indicators are switched on.

Where the XP MI-6 works, and its limits

The wireless integration is what makes the MI-6 worth it, and we would recommend it to DEUS II, ORX and ICON owners. At an iron-contaminated relic site, switching from detecting to pinpointing without managing separate audio is especially convenient. Do not assume the wireless link works with other detector brands. For someone using another brand, or not needing XP integration, the MI-4 is the more economical choice.

Getting started with the XP MI-6

Pair the MI-6 with your detector correctly before the hunt, then learn the available sensitivity and audio modes.
