XP ICON X Metal Detector
More control. More precision. Same XP DNA.
The XP ICON X is the advanced model in the ICON range — designed for detectorists who want more control without losing the simplicity that makes XP machines so enjoyable to use.
Built on FMF® multi-frequency technology, with added mono frequencies, expanded reactivity and finer discrimination, the ICON X gives you the tools to read difficult ground and pull targets others miss.
Key Features
- FMF® Multi-Frequency Technology – Stable detection across all terrains
- 3 Mono Frequencies – 4 kHz, 14 kHz & 28 kHz for full target range
- 6 Factory Programs + 6 User Slots
- 7 Reactivity Levels (0–6) – Superior target separation
- 0.5-Point Discrimination – Twice the precision of ICON
- Enhanced Audio Curve (6 settings)
- Ultra-Lightweight – Just 830g
- Carbon Lite Stem – Stronger, lighter, more rigid
- Fully Wireless (~4ms XP protocol)
- Waterproof IP68 – Up to 5 metres
- 11 Hour Battery Life
- XP MI-6 Pinpointer Compatible
- Full Deus II Coil Compatibility
- Software Updateable
- 5-Year Warranty
More of Everything That Matters
The XP ICON X builds on the foundation of the ICON — same wireless architecture, same FMF performance, but with expanded control for those who want to fine-tune their detecting.
Three Frequencies. Wider Coverage.
With 4 kHz, 14 kHz and now 28 kHz, the ICON X gives you access to the full spectrum. Low frequencies punch deep for larger targets, while 28 kHz brings sensitivity to small hammered coins and fine gold.
Reactivity That Matches the Ground
Seven reactivity levels allow you to slow things down for depth or speed up for separation. On iron-heavy sites, that extra control can be the difference between hearing a target — or missing it.
Sharper Discrimination
With 0.5-point resolution in the ferrous range, the ICON X gives experienced users the ability to read subtle differences in signals that sit close to iron — where many finds are lost.
Audio Built for Experience
Six audio curve settings offer a richer tonal landscape, helping experienced detectorists interpret signals before committing to a dig.
Carbon Lite Stem
Lighter and stiffer than the standard stem, the Carbon Lite shaft improves balance and reduces fatigue — something you really feel after a full day on the field.
The XP Ecosystem
Fully compatible with Deus II FMF coils, MI-6 pinpointer and XP Go Terrain app, the ICON X is not a closed system — it’s a platform you can build on.

Real-World Difference
Out in the field, the difference between these two machines isn’t just technical — it’s practical.
The ICON X is fast to set up, intuitive to use, and gives you enough control to handle difficult ground, iron contamination and varied sites without becoming overwhelming.
The Deus II, on the other hand, is built for detectorists who want absolute control. More programs, deeper customisation, specialist modes like diving and goldfield, and finer tuning across every parameter.
Which Should You Choose?
-
Choose the XP ICON X if:
You want a lightweight, powerful detector with advanced features that are still easy to manage. Perfect for stepping up from entry-level machines or refining your detecting without complexity overload. -
Choose the XP Deus II if:
You want the absolute top-end XP experience with maximum adjustability, specialist modes, and no limitations in performance or environment.
