The XP Deus II is widely praised as a lightweight, fully wireless, multi-frequency detector that performs well on land, beach, and underwater up to 20m, with a 5-year warranty and a price around $1,599. Users say it’s versatile, stable out of the box, and often beats other machines on iron-infested sites, though some note a learning curve and a few design quirks.

Just supposed to work really good. And the weight savings alone feels like you're swinging nothing.

It gets very acceptable depth here where I detect (down to 8" on US coins), separates targets really well and it is a joy to swing. My only reservation about it is fully submerging it above the level where the battery is located in the shaft.

So, initial impressions, wow. on the machine. It is incredibly light, especially because I normally swing the 13 uh the 13 by 11 inch coil.

If you hunt old homesites, nail beds, iron-infested relic sites, trashy parks, or difficult EMI-heavy areas , the XP Deus II Gold + HF2 and WSA ST is the best XP Deus II setup available right now .

Now, this little coil is not only very powerful, but because of its unique elliptical design, it's able to get into places that other coils simply cannot.

Unmatched. The narrow, elliptical shape and high-frequency capabilities are specifically designed for surgically picking out small targets in trash.

And the metal detector is that responsive that I just do not miss a target. What this is really going to be good for in the future is finding those honey holes. All I need to do is go over one target. I can map the beach a lot more faster with a 9 in coil. I still like on my factory standard coils, the HF2. I'm really loving this right now. What did you get? 48. Oh, yeah. What do you get? Yeah. 78. Yeah. 6 7 8 9 7 8 9. We're digging it anyway. Yeah. That's it, isn't it? There's a right there. And is on the money. Let's go.

Deus 2 HF2 coil better at select ring digging vs Manticore. That’s the truth. Better nickel outift too on shallower and mid depth nickels.

That's nice! Bravo, this elliptical coil has been useful to me. The XP HF2 coil for your XP DEUS 2. Now, if you want to know the specifications of this coil, just jump over to the XP YouTube channel where I did an in-depth review. But today it's being tested, and we're on an iron-infested site. It's just been rolled, and the seeding conditions are perfect.

Another incredible demonstration of what the XP DEUS II + HF2 coil can achieve — even at serious depth.

As we've been saying all along, it's a situational coil, and we feel like this is a great spot to run this coil um in this trashy situation. Uh with all of this iron in the ground, it's going to be a true test to see uh if the HF2 coil can pick some targets that we might have missed uh with some of the other machines and some of the other coils. So, we're real excited to run that. We've tested it and we want to see if what we've been seeing is going to apply to the site that we're going to be on today. So again, come along for the adventure. Thank you for being here.

Yeah, the I would say the HF2 made that sound a lot better than what it was. Yes, because with lower conductive target, you're in higher frequency than me, too. I went up to 89. Oh, you're you're up in 89. So, I'm in 40 kHz. So, my my coil can only go up to 40 kHz. Uh, go ahead again. Yeah, sounds kind of junky. Let me dig this one out here. Sure. Ground's really soft here today. This is a low conducting target. This This target is an oddshaped target. It's not a round target. Oh, still in the hole, huh? Yeah, I see something blue in there.

There's at least four scenarios I can think of where absolutely this coil makes better sense as a choice versus perhaps your 9 in, your 11 in, or even the 11 by13 in elliptical coil.
