XP ORX Wireless Metal Detector with 9" X35 Search Coil, FX02 Headphones & MI-6 Pinpointer

The XP ORX with 9-inch X35 coil operates on 35 selectable frequencies ranging from 3.7 kHz to 27.7 kHz. This multi-frequency range lets you tune detection depth and small-target sensitivity to match your terrain. Lower frequencies (3.7 to 10 kHz) penetrate mineralized ground and reach deeper targets, while higher frequencies (15 to 27.7 kHz) increase sensitivity to small gold, thin silver, and low-conductivity relics. You can select a single frequency for stable operation in trashy sites or run multiple frequencies simultaneously for broader target coverage. For hunters comparing multi-frequency platforms, our VLF metal detectors collection includes both single-frequency and simultaneous-multifrequency options.

The XP ORX's 9-inch X35 coil and lower shaft are fully waterproof, so you can hunt in shallow water, surf zones, and wet sand without worrying about seal failure. The remote control should be kept above water; refer to manual for water-resistance details. The coil can be submerged completely for cleaning or hunting in shallow rivers and lake edges. The wireless connection between coil and remote stays stable even when the coil is underwater, and the salt mode ground rejection (00 to 25) stabilizes operation in saltwater environments where conductivity swings with tide and moisture.

The XP ORX runs on lithium rechargeable batteries built into the coil and remote control, delivering up to 20 hours of runtime on a single charge. You charge both components via USB cable using any certified USB adapter or computer connection, no proprietary charger required. The coil battery powers the transmit-receive circuitry and wireless radio link, while the remote battery powers the LCD display and control processor. Charge time varies; refer to manual for details. The batteries carry a 2-year warranty, and XP sells replacement battery modules if you need to extend the detector's service life beyond the original cells.

The XP ORX with 9-inch X35 coil is capable of gold prospecting in low to moderately mineralized ground, with two factory gold programs (Gold and Fine Gold) pre-tuned for nugget hunting. The Gold program works best in soils with moderate iron content, delivering good sensitivity to medium and large nuggets in dry washes and decomposed granite hillsides. The Fine Gold program is optimized for heavily mineralized soils with dense hot rocks, offering good sensitivity to small and medium nuggets while filtering ferrous trash with five levels of IAR discrimination. The X35 coil's lower frequencies (3.7 to 10 kHz) penetrate mineralized ground without false signals from magnetite, though dedicated high-frequency gold machines will outperform it on sub-gram nuggets.

The XP ORX weighs 1 pound 14 ounces (870 grams) with the 9-inch X35 coil attached and the remote control hip-mounted. The S-telescopic Lite stem accounts for 11.3 ounces (320 grams) of that total, and the coil itself is lightweight enough for all-day swinging without wrist fatigue. When you hip-mount the remote, the detector's balance point shifts toward the coil, reducing the perceived weight on your arm. The stem's S-curve design and telescopic adjustment let you fine-tune length and angle to match your height and swing style, so you can hunt long sessions in fields and beaches without arm strain.

The XP ORX ships with four factory pre-set programs and two user-customizable program slots. The four factory programs are Coin Fast (for coins, jewelry, and all target types in mineralized or contaminated ground), Coin Deep (for coins and all target types in low-mineralized, uncontaminated ground), Gold (for low to average mineralization with good sensitivity to medium and large gold nuggets), and Fine Gold (for heavy mineralization with good sensitivity to small and medium gold nuggets). Each program is pre-tuned with sensitivity, discrimination, reactivity, and ground balance settings that work out of the box, so you can start hunting immediately. The two user slots let you save custom settings for specific sites or target types as you gain experience with the machine. Coin hunters comparing factory programs across brands should review our coin-hunting detectors guide for side-by-side program comparisons.

The XP ORX does not include headphones in the base package with the 9-inch X35 coil. XP sells the WS Audio compact wireless headphone receiver separately, which pairs with the ORX's wireless system for cable-free operation. The WS Audio headphones communicate via the same digital radio link as the coil and remote, so you won't need adapters or wired connections. XP offers wired headphone options as accessories. The ORX's remote control has a built-in speaker for audio feedback if you choose to hunt without headphones, though you'll hear faint signals more clearly with a headset in noisy environments.

The XP ORX is compatible with the full X35 coil range (9-inch round, 11-inch round, and 13.5-inch x 11-inch elliptical) and the HF coil range (9-inch round and 9.5-inch x 5-inch elliptical). All coils are wireless and swap without tools in under a minute using the quick-release mounting system. The X35 coils run 35 frequencies from 3.7 to 27.7 kHz, while the HF coils run 21 frequencies from 13 to 81 kHz for higher sensitivity to small gold and thin silver. Each coil has its own rechargeable battery and pairs automatically with the remote when you power on the detector. Hunters who want to explore the full ORX coil lineup can browse our XP ORX with high frequency coil collection for side-by-side coil comparisons.

The XP ORX carries a 5-year limited manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. XP also certifies the ORX as LONGTIME, meaning the detector is designed for long-term use and serviceability with replaceable components and ongoing firmware support. The lithium batteries in the coil and remote are covered by a separate 2-year warranty. Warranty service is handled through authorized XP dealers, and Serious Detecting processes warranty claims directly with XP's US service center. The warranty does not cover damage from misuse, submersion of the non-waterproof remote control, or modifications to the detector's electronics.

You update the XP ORX firmware by connecting the remote control to a computer via the included USB cable and downloading the latest software from XP's website. XP releases firmware updates regularly to enhance performance, add features, and fix bugs. The update process is straightforward; follow XP's instructions. You'll need to power off the detector, plug the USB cable into the remote's charging port, and run XP's update utility to flash the new firmware. After the update completes, disconnect the cable and power on the remote to verify the new version number in the system menu. Coil and remote firmware can be updated; refer to XP's update instructions.
