XP Deus II Review

XP Deus II Metal Detector Overview

XP Deus II is a lightweight, ergonomic new metal detector following the state of the art technologies and design. With its S-shaped telescopic stem, Deus II allows using either the control box, or the headphones XP WS6 control panel, thus making the operation more convenient and customizable for the user. Deus II is even lighter and handier, plus, being completely wireless sets a new level of quality other manufacturers may struggle to catch up with. The search coil, the remote control, the headphones, and also the pinpointer can all be paired, and communicate with each other wirelessly, using the XP patented radio protocol system. This advanced system provides smooth performance and reduces the risks of damaging the whole thing.

Besides outstanding design and convenience, XP Deus II boasts features and specifications that can take hobby metal detecting to a completely new level, especially when it comes to complicated terrains. Its numerous available frequencies, a dozen search modes plus customizable slots, ground balance, discrimination, and other specifications promise a really productive search.

Control Box

Deus II has a control box and also a remote control. Both work with the headphones, but the combination of remote control and the headphones create a convenient and handy pair that make metal detecting easier, because the metal detector becomes lighter when the control box is taken off.

Both control box and remote control work with any set of headphones – wired, wireless, and bone conduction headphones. When the control box is off, the metal detector can be controlled and tuned with the combined work of wireless headphones and remote control. The remote control can be kept in your pocket or fixed on the stem.

XP Deus II Features

XP Deus II has many expert features, settings, and tech specs that will make the search as efficient as possible. Of course this is not a beginner level machine, and the features listed below need some previous knowledge and expertise to make use of them. But when mastered and set correctly, they will allow the user to take advantage of the numerous variations of the settings combinations for all kinds of environments, locations, and targets.

• Fast Multi Frequency – this outstanding technology enables the search using many frequencies simultaneously, with fast recovery speed, working for all types of targets
• Mono Frequency option – 49 single frequencies from 4 to 45 kHz enable narrower, more specific types of search, working with certain terrains and targets
• Waterproof up to 65 feet – impressive deep search becomes available to the user with XP Deus II due to this high index of waterproofness
• All Terrain – XP Deus II demonstrates seamless functioning on any types of soils, whatever the environment or the level of mineralization
• Ground Tracking/Grabbing – this is an advanced variation of Ground Balance that allows to grab the level of mineralization, and to track it in motion, for the metal detector to adapt the sensitivity accordingly
• Motion & Non-Motion modes – Non-motion mode is in fact a Pinpoint mode that allows the metal detector to more efficiently identify the potential target
• Frequency shift & Noise cancellation – frequency shift allows to avoid the electromagnetic interference, while noise cancellation decreases the false signals caused by other devices
• Remote control – waterproof and shockproof remote control panel makes the search session more convenient, and adds flexibility to all actions
• Bone Conduction headphones – perfect option for people with hearing issues, or for underwater search. It allows to focus on signals without losing track of sounds around the user
• Lightweight and ergonomic – the machine’s bare weight starts from 750gr, depending on the additional accessories used or not used, making Deus II handy for anyone
• 12 factory search modes – factory search modes make tuning the metal detector fast and easy, adapting the settings to environments, and objects targeted
• XP WS6 – wireless headphones provide flexible and safe activities since the user is not limited with wires, which adds convenience
• Iron Discrimination – this important feature allows the user to cut off signals from worthless iron objects, and decrease the number of useless digging episodes

Fast Multi Frequency

Fast Multi Frequency is an enhanced variation of the Multi Frequency technology that includes faster Recovery speed. The FMF allows the metal detector to scan the location using all available frequencies at the same time. This way, the metal detector works on its peak efficiency, reaching to different types of targets on different depths, and showing results faster. FMF technology not only increases the speed of metal detecting as such, and increases the efficiency of search showing all potential targets possible, it also provides as much information about each potential target as possible. FMF enables the search on any type of location, giving way broader opportunities for the user.

Single Frequencies

XP Deus II allows the treasure hunter to use any of the 49 single frequencies, separately. This means that the treasure hunter can adjust their settings to specific location, environment, depth, level of mineralization, or type of target, and focus on these specifications only. Such a narrow search removes the distractions created by other types of targets, and makes tuning of the metal detector very focused.

Remote Control

Since XP Deus II is one of the most versatile metal detectors in the segment, and it is all terrain metal detector, its range of settings suggests that the users will apply it on complicated grounds, and also underwater. Under any complicated search conditions, convenience and flexibility in operation are key, and this is why the remote control feature is so valuable for Deus II. Remote control box can be placed elsewhere than the metal detector itself, and thus be at one’s fingertips in a way comfortable and safer for the user. Shockproof and waterproof remote control is also good to have under poor visibility conditions or underwater, when holding it closer to the eyes is the only way to see the indications. Deus II provides an excellent Remote control feature for ultimate convenience.

XP Deus II Search Coils

The new XP Deus II has its own series of search coils, which are not compatible with the previous Deus, and the first Deus’ coils are not compatible with the new metal detector.

The new coils are XP FMF, and currently we know more about the 11 inches coil.

XP II FMF Coil

This coil is an 11 inches wireless and Fast Multi Frequency search coil, that works with 49 frequencies. The battery life is around 20 hours, but that depends on the search modes and frequencies used, and also partially on the surroundings.

The coil is completely waterproof up to 65 feet, has a coil cover, and holds a 5 years warranty. The weight is 470 gr.

XP Deus II Accessories

XP WS6 Wireless Headphones

XP WS6 headphones represent the newer generation of wireless headphones by XP. These are not only headphones, they also work as a remote control box, being able to connect to the coil. This way, the detectorist can use a super lite version of Deus II, and enjoy the utmost convenience and flexibility.

The user can mount the WS6 module on the stem and actually use it as a mini control box, to have access to all the settings. In fact, the detectorists will be able to use any of the 3 combinations:

• metal detector and control box
• metal detector and headphones
• metal detector and control box and headphones

The XP WS6 specifications are as follows:

• MI-6 connection
• foldable, changeable backphones
• weatherproof
• battery life – 15 hours
• weight – 82gr
• in-depth target ID
• 5 years warranty

BH-01 Bone Conduction Headphones

The very first accessory that should be paid huge attention to is of course the innovative, groundbreaking bone conduction headphones for XP Deus II. This technology has never been used in the hobby metal detecting niche before. The XP BH-01 are waterproof up to 65 feet.

Bone conduction headphones are perfect for diving, because they conduct the sound signal directly to the inner ear through the cheekbone, without eardrums involved. This technology gives a list of advantages:

• the sound signals come more clear compared to underwater headphones, because anyways the eardrum conducts the sound less effectively when the ear is filled with water
• the user can use earplugs to protect themselves from infection in muddy water
• the user can use earplugs to protect themselves from very noisy environment
• the user can leave their ears open to catch the noise outside, besides perceiving the sound signals from the metal detector
• people with impaired hearing can use those headphones, too, both on land and underwater, to get more information about the targets via vibrations conducted through the bone
