The Next Evolution of Wireless Detecting — Now with Stereo Audio
XP is once more pushing the limits by creating, the first wireless, multi-frequency metal detector with unique features and performance. The XP Deus II is one of the most advanced metal detectors on the market, built for serious performance across land, beach, and underwater environments. Now paired with STEREO Wireless Audio, this version delivers enhanced comfort, improved sound clarity, and a streamlined detecting experience without compromising the speed and precision the DEUS II is known for.
Once the coil, remote control, headphones and pinpointer are paired, they communicate with each other wirelessly and without latency using the XP patented radio protocol system. This means that the target signals generated by the search coil are quickly transmitted to the headphones without any delay, giving the DEUS II unparalleled speed and accuracy. The DEUS II performs extremely well in all terrain conditions, both on land and at sea, thanks to FMF® (Fast Multi Frequency) technology.
The XP DEUS II Metal Detector with 9" FMF Coil, Remote Control and WS6-ST Stereo Wireless Headphones combines XP's flagship Fast Multi Frequency technology with a lightweight, fully wireless platform built for coin hunting, relic hunting, jewelry hunting, beaches, mineralized ground and all-terrain detecting.
This complete configuration includes the 9" / 22.5 cm round FMF search coil, full DEUS II Remote Control, and WS6-ST stereo wireless headphones.
The 9" FMF coil operates across approximately 4–45 kHz, supports 49 selectable single frequencies, and weighs only about 345 g. Its compact size provides an excellent balance of depth, maneuverability and target separation, especially in iron-contaminated and trash-heavy sites.
The WS6-ST adds further flexibility because it can function either as wireless headphones controlled by the full Remote Control or as an independent master controller connected directly to the search coil.

XP Fast Multi Frequency Technology
XP's FMF – Fast Multi Frequency – technology uses different combinations of frequencies and signal processing according to the selected search program.
Lower frequencies generally favor larger and higher-conductivity targets, while higher frequencies improve sensitivity to smaller and lower-conductivity targets. FMF allows DEUS II to combine frequency information for broader target coverage and improved performance across changing ground conditions.
The standard DEUS II FMF coil platform operates across approximately 4–45 kHz.
9" FMF Search Coil
The included 9" / 22.5 cm round FMF coil is one of the most versatile DEUS II coil options.
Its compact search footprint helps isolate desirable targets located close to iron or modern trash while remaining large enough for practical general-purpose detecting.
It is particularly useful for:
-
Coin hunting
-
Relic sites
-
Old home sites
-
Cellar holes
-
Iron-infested fields
-
Parks
-
Woods
-
Areas around roots and rocks
-
Trash-heavy recreational sites
-
Jewelry hunting
-
Beaches
-
Mineralized ground
-
Occasional gold prospecting
XP DEUS II Coil Size Comparison: 9" vs 11" vs 13"
XP offers multiple FMF coil sizes for the DEUS II, and each is better suited to different hunting conditions. The 9" coil prioritizes separation and maneuverability, the 11" coil offers the strongest all-around balance, while the larger 13" x 11" coil maximizes ground coverage and performance in open terrain.

The 9" FMF coil included with DEUS2-22FMFRCW6STE is the best choice when target separation, precise coil control, maneuverability and low swing weight are priorities.
The 11" coil offers a more balanced combination of separation, depth and ground coverage, making it an excellent general-purpose option.
The larger 13" x 11" coil covers the most ground per sweep and is particularly useful in open fields, beaches and other large search areas where maneuverability and dense target separation are less critical.
49 Selectable Single Frequencies
Along with FMF operation, DEUS II includes a DEUS MONO program with 49 selectable single frequencies across approximately 4–45 kHz.
Single-frequency operation can be useful when:
-
Electromagnetic interference affects FMF operation
-
A particular frequency better suits the target type
-
Site conditions favor a specific frequency
-
More direct frequency control is desired
FMF remains the primary all-purpose operating method, while DEUS MONO gives experienced users additional control.
12 Factory Programs
DEUS II includes 12 factory search programs:
| Program |
Primary Use |
| General |
Everyday detecting, coins, jewelry and mixed terrain |
| Sensitive |
Small targets, jewelry and mineralized ground |
| Sensi FT |
Full Tones with faster Reactivity for experienced users |
| Fast |

| Beach Sens |
Higher-sensitivity saltwater hunting; frequencies up to approx. 40 kHz |
The Remote Control also provides 12 user-program positions, allowing detectorists to save customized setups for specific sites or target types.
Full DEUS II Remote Control
Unlike WS6 Master-only packages, DEUS2-22FMFRCW6STE includes the full DEUS II Remote Control.
It provides access to settings including:
The Remote Control can remain mounted on the detector stem or be removed and carried separately.
Waterproof Rating
The DEUS II Remote Control is IP68 certified for submersion to 20 m / 66 ft when correctly configured.
XP uses different waterproof plugs:
The correct plug must be installed for the intended environment.
WS6-ST Stereo Wireless Headphones
The included WS6-ST is more than a standard wireless headphone system.
With the full DEUS II Remote Control switched on, the Remote acts as the master and the WS6-ST provides wireless stereo audio.
With the Remote switched off, the WS6-ST can connect directly to the search coil and become the master detector controller.
In this mode, it can:
This creates an exceptionally lightweight DEUS II setup when the larger Remote Control is not needed.
Important: The WS6-ST is weatherproof, but it is not rated for 20-meter underwater submersion. Appropriate XP underwater headphones should be used for submerged detecting.
Fully Wireless XP Architecture
The DEUS II search coil contains its own detection electronics and communicates wirelessly with compatible XP components.
This eliminates the conventional coil cable running up the shaft and allows the system to remain lightweight and uncluttered.
Compatible wireless components include:
Target Separation & Iron Performance
The combination of the compact 9" coil, adjustable Reactivity, fast signal processing, discrimination controls and FMF operation makes this configuration particularly effective when valuable targets are located near iron or modern trash.
It is especially suited to:
The smaller coil generally provides better separation and maneuverability than larger coils, while larger coils offer more ground coverage per sweep.
Coin, Relic & Jewelry Hunting
The 9" DEUS II configuration is a strong all-purpose setup.
For coins, programs such as General, Sensitive, Fast, Park and Deep HC allow the detector to adapt to different target conductivities and site conditions.
For relic hunting, the compact coil and fast recovery help separate desirable brass, copper, lead and silver targets from surrounding nails and other ferrous debris.
For jewelry, DEUS II's broad FMF frequency range provides sensitivity to targets ranging from larger rings to smaller, lower-conductivity jewelry.
Beach & Underwater Detecting
DEUS II includes Diving, Beach and Beach Sens programs for conductive saltwater environments.
These programs help compensate for the electrical conductivity of wet salt sand and seawater while maintaining sensitivity to desirable targets.
The detector can be used in:
-
Dry sand
-
Wet sand
-
Surf
-
Freshwater
-
Saltwater
The 9" FMF coil and DEUS II Remote Control are waterproof to 20 m / 66 ft when configured correctly.
Because radio signals do not travel effectively through water, XP's underwater antenna system is used when the coil is submerged.
Appropriate underwater headphones are also required because the included WS6-ST is weatherproof rather than fully submersible.
Gold Prospecting & Mineralized Ground
The DEUS II includes a dedicated Gold Field program for highly mineralized gold-bearing ground.
Higher frequencies approaching 40–45 kHz improve sensitivity to small and low-conductivity targets, including natural gold.
The detector also provides:
-
Adjustable ground balance
-
Ground Grab
-
Tracking options
-
Fast Multi Frequency processing
-
Adjustable Reactivity
-
Dedicated mineralized-ground programs
For detectorists primarily targeting extremely small natural gold, XP's HF2 high-frequency configuration offers more specialized capability. The standard 9" FMF coil is the better all-purpose option for users who want one detector for coins, relics, jewelry, beaches and occasional prospecting.
Battery Performance
