The ICONX is a fully wireless, simultaneous multi-frequency (FMF) detector with an 11 in coil, three single-frequency options at 4, 14 and 28 kHz, and a weight XP gives as about 710 g (1.57 lb), fully equipped without the remote on the stem. It suits someone who wants one lightweight machine for parks, fields, wet sand and wading, and wants the headphones and a bag sorted on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho the ICONX package is for, and who should look elsewhere\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe XP ICONX is aimed at the detectorist who expects to grow into the settings: it has six factory programs plus six user slots, seven reactivity levels (0 to 6), and a 28 kHz mono frequency for small targets.

It charges over USB-C in about 2 hours, turns on and off with the remote once paired, has 10 volume levels and a 4-band equalizer you set from the remote. XP rates it rainproof, not waterproof, so it stays above the water line. The wireless link is about 10 times faster than low-latency Bluetooth, which is the point of using XP's own headset rather than a phone headset.  WSA ST includes a 5-year warranty and its lithium battery is 2 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe XP Backpack 240\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Backpack 240 is XP's lighter detecting pack: 31 L, 700 g (1.5 lb), with a 65 cm (25.5 in) back length.

Outside there is a compartment for two coils and lower stems, a pinpointer pocket with holster, a headphone pocket, a mesh pocket, a side bottle pocket and a light rain resistant zipped map pocket; the chest strap could carry an emergency whistle and the waist belt for a finds pouch. Inside is open space for coils, stem and digger, plus pockets for coils and for keys or the remote. It is green and black, with a 2-year warranty from XP.

At about 710 g (without the remote on the stem) it is light enough for long sessions. It is not a dive detector straight out of this box, because the WSA ST headphones are rainproof only; underwater work needs the BH-02. For dedicated hunting of very small gold in hot ground, a purpose-built gold machine or XP's HF2 coil is the better tool than the stock 11 in FMF coil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first thing most people ask once they have picked a detector is what to carry it in.
