XP ICON Fast Multi-Frequency Metal Detector with 11-Inch FMF Search Coil

The XP ICON is a simultaneous multi-frequency metal detector with FMF technology, wireless operation, and a waterproof design rated to 6 feet, built for detectorists who want modern performance without menu complexity. At 1.85 pounds fully equipped with an 11-inch coil, the ICON pairs intuitive controls with advanced detection capabilities across parks, plowed fields, wet sand, and shallow water. Three factory programs and three customizable user slots let you power on and start hunting within seconds, and the wireless protocol eliminates latency between coil, remote, and headset so you hear targets the instant the coil passes over them. Manufactured in France and compatible with the Deus II FMF coil ecosystem, the ICON delivers stable performance in mineralized soil and trashy sites where single-frequency detectors struggle.

What's Included with the XP ICON

• XP ICON metal detector with 11-inch FMF coil
• ICON remote control with 3 factory programs and 3 user slots
• Blue S-Telescopic Lite Stem
• Rechargeable batteries for remote, coil, and headphones

Simultaneous Multi-Frequency FMF Performance in Parks and Mineralized Soil

Parks & Lawns

The ICON transmits multiple frequencies simultaneously rather than cycling through them sequentially, so you're not choosing between depth on high-conductors like silver and sensitivity to low-conductors like small gold or foil jewelry. The 11-inch coil covers ground quickly in open turf, and the five reactivity levels let you dial in target separation when you're working a tot lot or a trashy picnic area. The multi-notch discrimination system with 28 segments lets you reject aluminum pull-tabs while accepting nickels and gold rings in the same conductivity range, a critical capability in parks where decades of trash mask good targets.

Plowed Fields & Old Homesteads

In farm fields with variable mineralization, the ICON's ground balance options, Grab, Manual, and Auto Tracking, adapt to soil changes as you walk. The FMF technology maintains stable target ID across hot rocks and iron-rich clay that single-frequency detectors read as false signals. The wireless remote lets you adjust sensitivity and discrimination on the fly without bending down or stopping your swing, keeping your pace steady during long field walks where hammered silver and colonial relics sit 8 to 10 inches deep.

Wet Sand & Shallow Water

The ICON is waterproof to 6 feet, making it suitable for wet sand hunting and wading in shallow surf. The coil, lower stem, and control housing are fully sealed for saltwater environments where wet sand amplifies ground noise. For underwater detecting beyond wading depth, an optional bone conduction headset is required. The automatic frequency shift feature reduces electromagnetic interference from power lines and other detectors, a common issue in crowded beach zones during peak season.

Wireless Operation and Lightweight Ergonomics for All-Day Hunts

• Latency-free wireless protocol: Remote, coil, and headset communicate instantly using XP's digital protocol, eliminating the audio delay that wired systems introduce.
• 1.85-pound total weight: The detachable arm cup and collapsible stem reduce wrist and shoulder fatigue during 4- to 6-hour sessions.
• Sunlight-readable LCD display: Adjustable backlight and clear target ID segments remain visible in bright midday sun and low-light conditions at dawn or dusk.
• 11-hour battery life: Rechargeable batteries in the remote, coil, and headphones run a full day of detecting on a single charge, with a 3-hour recharge time.
• Compatibility with Deus II FMF coils: The ICON accepts the full range of XP FMF coils, letting you swap to smaller or larger coils for specific terrain or target types without replacing the detector.
