Buy & Configure the XP Deus 2 – Which Version, Which Coil, Which Accessories?

Buy & configure XP Deus 2 – Which version, which coil, which accessories?

The XP Deus 2 is one of the most modern high-end metal detectors worldwide. Thanks to its innovative FMF® (Fast Multi Frequency) technology, complete wireless design, and an exceptionally long warranty, it sets new standards – even when compared to premium detectors from other manufacturers.
However, before purchasing, the question often arises: Which version or set is the right one? Which coil do I need? And which accessories should I order directly?
The many possibilities offered by the Deus 2 are not always entirely clear to interested parties at first glance. We understand that the various options may initially seem unclear. That's why we have created this guide – as a practical aid and configurator.
Step by step, we will explain the differences and help you assemble the right XP Deus 2 for your needs. This way, you can confidently decide which combination of control unit, coil, and accessories truly suits you.
In this guide, we will show you step by step how to assemble your perfect XP Deus 2.

Why the XP Deus 2 is in a class of its own

✔ FMF® Technology
The Deus 2 operates with multiple frequencies simultaneously. This ensures:

• High depth performance
• Stable operation on difficult ground
• Excellent object discrimination
• High sensitivity to small objects
  

✔ Completely wireless

• Wireless search coil
• Wireless wireless headphones
• Wireless remote control (RC) or WS6 control
• No cable connection between coil, control unit and headphones

Advantages: No cable breakage, less weight, maximum freedom of movement.

XP detectors are the only metal detectors worldwide that are completely wireless – and patented.

✔ Waterproof up to 20 meters
Ideal for beach, shallow water, and underwater searching.

✔ Extremely lightweight & ergonomic
The XP Deus 2 is one of the lightest high-end metal detectors worldwide. Depending on the configuration, the weight is less than 900 grams.

This means:

• Less fatigue
• Longer search sessions possible
• Better balance
• Greater comfort during hours of use

Especially compared to many other premium detectors, the weight is a clear advantage.

✔ 5-year warranty – optional 10 years
Standard 5-year manufacturer's warranty. Optionally extendable to a total of 10 years of protection.

Step 1: Decide – Do I want the version with remote control (RC) – or the Master version with control via the WS6 module in the headphones?

One of the most important decisions when choosing the XP Deus 2 is: Do I want the version with remote control (RC) – or the Master version with the WS6 module?

RC Version (Remote Control) – classic control with remote control

With the RC version, you get a separate remote control with a display that is attached to the stem.
You control the following with this remote control:

• Programs
• Reactivity
• Frequencies
• Audio settings
• Discrimination
• Ground balance
• Fine adjustments

Advantages:

• Large display
• Very clear menu navigation
• Maximum control
• Convenient operation during searching

The RC version is the most comprehensive and flexible option.

Master Version – Control via the WS6 module in the headphones

The Master version does not include a separate remote control on the stem. Instead, the WS6 module of the wireless headphones takes over the complete control.
Important to understand: The WS6 is not just a pair of headphones, but wireless headphones with an integrated control module and a small display.

This means:

• The WS6 module sits directly on the headphones
• You operate the detector via this module
• You can select programs and change settings
• Control is done directly via the buttons on the headphones

The detector is therefore controlled, so to speak, via the headphones. In the Master version, there is no separate remote control on the stem.

Difference to the RC version

Who is the Master version suitable for?

• Users who want to save weight
• Minimalists
• Budget-conscious beginners
• Seekers who do not need extensive fine adjustments

If you want maximum overview and comfort, choose the RC version. If you want to search lightly and minimally, the Master version is a good choice.

Step 2: Decide – Which XP headphones do I want?

First, some general information about XP wireless headphone technology:

ST = Stereo – the new XP Audio Technology

ST stands for Stereo. With the new XP Stereo technology, sound information is distributed differently to the left and right ear – instead of identically to both ears.
This ensures:

• More spatial sound perception
• More natural signal processing
• Better differentiation between iron and non-iron signals
• More precise object discrimination

Especially for small coins, jewelry, or gold nuggets, this is a clear advantage.

What headphone versions are available for the Deus 2?

WS6 ST Wireless Headphones (Headphones and module combined)

Very lightweight, integrated WS6 control module, stereo technology – ideal for the Master version.
Note: This model is particularly recommended for users of the Master version, i.e., for those who have not chosen the RC remote control on the stem. In the Master version, the WS6 module takes over the complete control of the detector.

WSA ST Wireless Headphones – small ear pads (On-Ear)

Small ear pads that sit directly on the ear. Lightweight, compact and ideal for normal conditions.

WSA XL ST Wireless Headphones – large ear pads (Over-Ear)

Large, closed ear pads for better noise isolation and high comfort in windy conditions or during long searches.

Bone Conduction Headphones

Signal transmission via bone structure – the surroundings remain audible. Ideal for open landscapes.

Step 3: Decide – Which XP Deus 2 search coil is right for me?

The coil influences:

• Depth performance
• Object discrimination
• Coverage area
• Sensitivity to small objects
• Results in difficult ground conditions (e.g., highly mineralized or trashy ground)

FMF 22 cm (9") Search Coil

Very precise object discrimination – ideal for trashy areas.

FMF 28 cm (11") Search Coil – Allrounder

Very good balance of depth and precision – recommended for most users.

FMF 34 x 28 cm (13x11") Search Coil

Maximum depth performance – ideal for large fields.

FMF HF2 Elliptical Search Coil

Highly recommended for:

• Very fine jewelry
• Small and thin coins
• Gold nuggets
• Smallest gold pieces

Ideal for gold prospecting and difficult ground conditions, e.g. mineralized ground or salty beach ground.

Step 4: Decide - Do I need the XP MI-6 Pinpointer?

A pinpointer is a small locating device used when excavating an object. It helps to quickly and precisely locate the object in the hole.

XP MI-6

• Connection with the Deus 2
• Signal via headphones
• Adjustable
• Waterproof

Highly recommended for regular detectorists.

Step 5: Decide - Do I need a bag for my XP Deus 2 equipment?

The clear answer is: Yes – not only for transport, but also for proper and secure storage.

A suitable bag protects your equipment from:

• Damage
• Scratches
• Loose parts
• Unnecessary wear and tear

Especially high-quality equipment like the XP Deus 2 should not be left loose in the car or basement.

Also very useful for home storage

With a suitable bag, you have:

• Everything in a fixed place
• No searching for accessories
• Clean and protected storage
• Order in the cellar, car or cupboard

Especially when multiple coils, charging clips, or accessories are present, a bag provides clarity.

Ideal for transport by bike or on foot

A transport bag is also particularly practical:

• if you cycle to the search area
• if you are walking
• for longer walks to the field or forest

You can:

• disassemble the detector
• store everything compactly
• safely carry the coil, pinpointer and accessories
• have both hands free

What XP bags are available?

XP Backpack 240 – compact & lightweight

Ideal for:

• Standard setup
• One coil
• Few accessories

Advantages:

• Lightweight and ergonomic
• Well padded
• Clear layout
• Perfect for short trips

XP Backpack 280 – more space & organization

Ideal for:

• Standard setup plus multiple coils and/or accessories
• MI-6 Pinpointer
• Charging accessories
• Longer search trips

Advantages:

• Plenty of storage space
• Separate compartments
• Very robust
• Optimally organized

XP Find Pouch – organization during the search

During the search itself, the find pouch ensures:

• Separate compartments for good finds & junk
• Quick access
• Clean organization in the field
• Protection of delicate finds

Step 6: Decide - Is the warranty extension for the XP Deus 2 worth it?

When purchasing a high-quality metal detector, the question often arises: Is a 5-year warranty sufficient – or is an extension to 10 years worthwhile?

5-year manufacturer's warranty – already above average

XP offers a standard 5-year manufacturer's warranty on the Deus 2. Compared to many other manufacturers, this is already a very strong quality promise.

The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects and demonstrates XP's great confidence in its own technology.

Optional: Extension to a total of 10 years

In addition, there is the option to extend the warranty by another 5 years. This gives you:

• A total of 10 years of protection
• Long-term security
• Additional safeguarding of your investment
• More planning certainty for intensive use

Especially for a detector of this class, this is a sensible option.

Who is the warranty extension particularly recommended for?

The extension is particularly worthwhile if:

• you search regularly or intensively
• you are out in all weather conditions
• you engage in beach or underwater searching
• you want to use your device long-term
• you want maximum security

The Deus 2 is an investment – and an extended warranty provides additional peace of mind and confidence.

Step 7: Decide - Do I need the XP GO Terrain App?

Many users ask themselves:
Is the GO Terrain App necessary – or just an additional function?

The XP GO Terrain App is not mandatory, but it is a very useful addition for anyone who wants to search in a structured and responsible manner. It extends your XP Deus 2 with a digital documentation and planning function.

What can the GO Terrain App do?

With the app, you can:

• Save exact find locations on the map
• Record search routes
• Document searched areas
• Capture individual finds with photos and notes
• Mark particularly fruitful areas
• Revisit search areas specifically

This is a great advantage, especially for larger areas or recurring search sites.

Also suitable for archaeological find registration

The app is also very well suited for documenting finds in an archaeological context:

• Exact position data can be saved
• Finds can be documented with photos
• Notes on the context of the find can be added
• A structured overview is created

In regions where there is a reporting requirement for archaeological finds, clean documentation can be very helpful.

Careful documentation demonstrates responsibility and, if necessary, facilitates cooperation with competent authorities or heritage offices.

Why is documentation useful?

Without documentation, often:

• Find spots are forgotten
• Searched areas are searched twice
• Valuable information is lost

With the GO Terrain App, you can proceed systematically and make your search traceable.

Who is the app particularly suitable for?

The app is particularly useful for:

• Registration assistance for mandatory reporting of archaeological finds
• Ambitious detectorists
• Users with larger search areas
• Field or forest searchers
• Individuals who wish to document their finds long-term
• Searchers who work responsibly

Not essential for occasional users – but a very valuable addition for structured and responsible metal detectorists.
