XP Fast Multi Frequency Technology

The DEUS II platform uses XP's FMF – Fast Multi Frequency – technology, allowing the detector to process multiple frequencies according to the selected search program.

Different frequencies respond differently to target size and conductivity. Lower frequencies generally favor larger and higher-conductivity targets, while higher frequencies increase sensitivity to smaller and lower-conductivity targets.

The standard 9" DEUS II FMF coil operates across approximately 4–45 kHz, providing strong versatility for:

• Coins

• Relics

• Jewelry

• Parks

• Fields

• Beaches

• Mineralized soil

• Small targets

• Gold prospecting

For users who prefer individual frequency control, DEUS MONO provides 49 selectable single frequencies across the operating range.

9" Coil Advantages

• Excellent target separation

• Excellent maneuverability

• Low swing weight

• Precise coil placement

• Effective around iron and modern trash

• Easy to use around roots, rocks and vegetation

• Strong all-purpose FMF performance

WS6-ST Master: Headphones and Detector Controller in One

The defining feature of DEUS2-22FMFWS6STE is the WS6-ST Master.

The WS6-ST is not simply a pair of wireless headphones. Its removable electronic module contains a display and detector controls, allowing it to communicate directly with the FMF search coil.

With no separate DEUS II Remote Control installed, the WS6-ST becomes the master of the detector.

It can:

• Control the FMF search coil

• Display Target ID

• Select search programs

• Adjust detector settings

• Control discrimination

• Adjust Reactivity

• Manage ground settings

• Adjust audio

• Display coil and headphone battery levels

• Store compatible search coils

• Connect wirelessly to the XP MI-6 pinpointer

This allows users to retain the core functionality required for serious detecting while eliminating the weight of the larger Remote Control.

Three Ways to Use the WS6-ST

One advantage of the WS6-ST design is its flexibility.

1. WS6-ST on the Headphones

The control module remains clipped directly into the backphones.

This creates the lightest and simplest configuration, with detector controls and stereo audio available from the headset.

2. WS6-ST Mounted on the Stem

The WS6-ST module can be removed from the headphones and positioned on the detector stem using a compatible WS6 support.

This puts the screen directly in front of the user for easier access to:

• Target ID

• Settings

• Programs

• Battery information

Compatible separate headphones can then be used for audio.

3. WS6-ST with an Optional DEUS II Remote

A full DEUS II Remote Control can be added separately.

When a Remote Control is used as the master, the WS6-ST can operate as the wireless stereo headphone system.

This makes the WS6-ST Master package an expandable entry point into the wider DEUS II ecosystem.

Important: The WS6-ST is weatherproof, not fully submersible. The included FMF search coil is waterproof to 20 m / 66 ft.

Ultra-Lightweight DEUS II Configuration

Weight is one of the biggest reasons to choose this package.

With the 9" FMF coil and WS6-ST Master configuration, the DEUS II weighs from approximately:

750 g / 1.65 lb

This makes it considerably lighter than many conventional detectors that use a control box, coil cable and larger shaft assembly.

The lower weight can be especially valuable for:

• Long detecting sessions

• Large properties

• Woods and uneven terrain

• Older detectorists

• Users with shoulder or arm fatigue

• Detectorists who travel frequently

• Fast searching through dense target areas

---

S-Telescopic Lite Stem

The WS6 Master package uses XP's S-Telescopic Lite stem, further reducing overall detector weight.

The fully telescopic design allows the detector to collapse quickly for transportation and expand for detecting without conventional multi-piece shaft assembly.

Approximate stem specifications:

Specification	Details
Type	XP S-Telescopic Lite
Stem Weight	Approx. 305 g
Folded Length	Approx. 58 cm
Extended Length	Approx. 130 cm
Design	Telescopic S-shaped stem

---

XP Wireless Architecture

The search coil contains its own electronics and communicates with the WS6-ST through XP's proprietary radio protocol.

There is no conventional coil cable running up the detector shaft.

Compatible XP components can communicate wirelessly within the system, including:

• DEUS II FMF search coil

• WS6-ST Master

• Optional DEUS II Remote Control

• Compatible XP headphones

• Optional XP MI-6 pinpointer

The wireless design keeps the detector uncluttered while helping reduce overall weight.

Coin, Relic & Jewelry Hunting

The combination of the 9" coil and adjustable Reactivity makes this configuration particularly attractive for locations with dense target concentrations.

For coin hunting, the compact coil can help isolate coins from nearby trash.

For relic hunting, its smaller detection footprint helps work between nails and other ferrous objects often found around historic structures and camps.

For jewelry hunting, FMF frequency coverage provides sensitivity across targets with different sizes and conductivities.

This makes the 9" WS6-ST Master configuration a strong choice for:

• Parks

• Old homes

• Farm fields

• Cellar holes

• Historic sites

• Wooded areas

• Recreational locations

• Dry and wet beaches

---

Beach & Water Performance

XP designed the WS6 Master platform for performance on both land and beaches.

Dedicated Beach and Beach Sens programs help manage electrically conductive wet salt sand and saltwater conditions.

The 9" FMF coil is waterproof to 20 m / 66 ft.

However, the WS6-ST control module itself is weatherproof rather than submersible. If the coil is submerged, XP specifies that an appropriate underwater antenna arrangement is required for wireless signal transmission.

This distinction is important when choosing between shoreline detecting and a dedicated underwater DEUS II configuration.

---

Gold Prospecting & Mineralized Ground

DEUS II includes Gold Field, a program designed for mineralized gold-bearing ground.

The standard FMF coil reaches approximately 45 kHz, providing sensitivity to smaller and lower-conductivity targets while maintaining broad all-purpose versatility.

For users primarily searching for extremely small natural gold, XP's HF2 high-frequency coil provides more specialized high-frequency capability. The 9" standard FMF coil is better suited to detectorists who want strong gold capability alongside coins, relics, jewelry and beach hunting.
