XP ICON & ICONX Aerial Antenna - 51 in (130cm)

Unlock the true amphibious potential of your detector with the XP ICON and ICONX Aerial Antenna. Because fast multi-frequency wireless signals cannot travel through water, this 130cm (51-inch) antenna cable is an absolute necessity for transmitting clear, uninterrupted target audio from your submerged coil up to your remote control or headphones.

Why Do You Need the XP Aerial Antenna?

Standard wireless metal detectors lose their connection the moment the search coil is submerged. Manufactured specifically for water hunting by XP Metal Detectors, this specially designed coaxial cable acts as a physical bridge for your wireless signal. It attaches to your search coil, runs up the shaft of your detector, and secures near your remote control or headset above the waterline.

At Serious Detecting, we recommend the 51 inch length for detectorists who are wading waist-to-chest deep in the surf or freshwater lakes. It provides plenty of slack to comfortably route the cable along your telescopic stem without restricting your sweep. Whether you are hunting for lost jewelry at the beach or deep relics in a riverbed, this antenna ensures you never miss a high-tone whisper.

Key Benefits for the Serious Detectorist
