XP Deus II Review

The XP Deus II is the next evolution of the legendary Deus, adding simultaneous multi-frequency from 4 – 45 kHz and full 5m waterproofing to the original’s wireless, ultra-light design. It is widely considered one of the two or three best all-terrain detectors ever built.

How It Performs

🏖 Beach
5m submersibility and simultaneous multi-frequency make it an elite beach detector. Handles the worst salt mineralisation with ease.
🪙 Gold
Multi-frequency with 45 kHz upper range gives outstanding micro-gold sensitivity – arguably the best gold performance of any multi-frequency detector.
🌱 Beginners
Absolutely not for beginners. The XP Deus II rewards mastery and experience. At $1,099, beginners would waste money and capability.
🪙 Coins
Extraordinary coin detector. In iron-infested ancient sites it finds targets that confuse or miss every other machine on the market.
🏹 Relics
The gold standard for serious relic hunting. Expert archaeologists and hobbyists alike consider the Deus II the finest relic machine available at any price.
