XP DEUS II - Metal Detector (11 inch coil)

Product Information

The XP Deus and The XP Deus II use what XP calls “Reactivity” which is also equivalent to the “Recovery Speed” on the Minelab Equinox. Does the XP Deus II have a faster recovery speed than the Equinox? Early tests and videos of side by side comparisons are showing that the Deus II has the advantage. The XP Deus has always been a really fast metal detector and it appears that XP has definitely improved what was already a very fast machine. Their proprietary use of Fast Multi-Frequency (FMF) appears to be giving them an edge over the Equinox. XP Deus Reactivity Chart Reactivity Number

There are no messy cables that can get snagged or tangled in branches or shrubs. Instead, the XP Deus 2 is easy to clean and store away. This is one item that should go with you everywhere. The possible discoveries are limitless. I never particularly liked the Deus with the 11” coil. I did not see a big difference depth wise, it was very nose heavy, and the only improvement was for horizontal coverage. Obviously for me coils and rods matter as much as other factors, as in my opinion performance gets rather hair splitting these days if you compare two detectors with identical coils. But how does a Deus 2 really compete in situations when an oversized coil is called for, when there is not one made for the machine, and you’d hate the balance if there were? Overall, Equinox is simply more versatile, and coil and rod options have a lot to do with that. Previous versions 0.6, 0.71, and 1.0 are still available online and accessible thanks to the new updater. The coil is completely waterproof up to 65 feet, has a coil cover, and holds a 5 years warranty. The weight is 470 gr.

If you follow my recommendations above, I guarantee the Deus II will start making sense and you will cut your learning time in half. The Deus II is a very powerful and capable metal detector. The more you use it the more you are going to like it. Don’t Believe Everything You Read About The Deus II.I took a look at some of the key features of both metal detectors and placed them side by side in the table below for comparison. However, performance will be the ultimate factor in determining which metal detector is better. Unbiased performance tests are starting to show up on YouTube for the XP Deus II. Nor do I see a Deus 2 replacing this telescoping Equinox with 6” coil for light weight compactness and ability to work in tight quarters. Also a decent deep seeking discriminating pinpointer for use with a PI detector.

The XP Deus has been on the market since 2009. It was marketed as the world’s first fully wireless metal detector and featherlight at only 750g, which is 50g lighter than the new XP Deus 2. 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. The Minelab Equinox is one of the best selling metal detectors on the market today. With its Mulit-IQ Technology and wide range of features, being light weight, and easy to use the Equinox is a great metal detector for the money. But is there something better?Overall, the XP Deus 2 did what is expected from such an advanced machine, and this is what was found: 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 Simultaneous Multi Frequency (40dBµA/m at 10m) or between the 49 singlefrequencies from 4 to 45 kHz. Using the XP Deus 2 on the beach is an absolute pleasure. Because it is completely waterproof, there is no need for a rain cover on the control panel. However, because beaches tend to have mineralized soil, it is one of the more challenging places to use a metal detector without getting mixed signals.
