NEW PRODUCT: XP Metal Detectors S-Telescopic Stem with Lower Stem Assembly for XP Deus II
by XP Metal Detectors starting at $234.00

The XP S-Telescopic Stem with Lower Stem Assembly is a replacement shaft system for the XP Deus II metal detector, featuring a collapsible telescopic design that folds to 65cm for backpack storage and an ergonomic rubber grip shaped to fit the hand's natural contour. Deus II owners hunting across multiple sites per session benefit from instant setup and teardown without sacrificing field-adjustable height or arm-cup comfort. The stem's improved handle angle and grip design reduce wrist strain during extended hunts, and the telescopic mechanism provides greater maneuverability than conventional fixed-length stems. This assembly serves as a direct replacement for worn or damaged Deus II stems or as a spare for detectorists running multiple coil configurations.

What's Included with the S-Telescopic Stem Assembly

* S-Telescopic stem with ergonomic rubber grip and improved handle
* Arm cup with adjustable arm strap
* Lower stem assembly

Why XP Deus 2 Owners Reach for the S-Telescopic Stem

* Instant storage in 65cm folded length: collapse the detector and store it in a backpack in seconds, eliminating the bulk of conventional fixed stems when moving between hunt sites or traveling to remote locations.
* Ergonomic rubber grip reduces hand fatigue: the grip is molded to match the hand's natural shape, and the improved handle angle positions the wrist in a neutral posture during long detecting sessions.
* Field-adjustable height without tools: the telescopic mechanism locks at any desired search height and adjusts on the fly as ground conditions or target depth change throughout the hunt.
* Lightweight construction maintains Deus II balance: the stem assembly preserves the detector's weight distribution, keeping the coil-to-armrest balance that makes the Deus II comfortable for all-day use.
* Direct XP replacement part: manufactured by XP Metal Detectors to the same specifications as the original Deus II stem, ensuring compatibility with all Deus II coils and accessories without adapter requirements.

Collapsible Design and Ergonomic Grip for Deus II Portability

The S-Telescopic Stem collapses to 65cm when equipped with a 9-inch coil, allowing the full Deus II detector to fit inside a standard hiking backpack without disassembly of the coil or control unit. The telescopic sections lock securely at any extension point, and the mechanism adjusts in the field for height changes. XP's research department designed the rubber grip with contoured finger channels and an angled handle position that aligns the wrist with the forearm, reducing the pronation stress common with straight-grip stems. The arm cup is padded and the strap adjusts for forearm circumference, distributing the detector's weight across the arm rather than concentrating it at the wrist. The lower stem assembly uses XP's reinforced plastic coil-mounting hardware, compatible with all XP Deus II coil options including the 9-inch, 11-inch, and elliptical configurations.

Fast Multi Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Saltwater

Parks and Lawns

The Deus II runs simultaneous multi-frequency detection or selects from 49 single frequencies between 4 and 45 kHz, letting you adapt to ground conditions without swapping coils. We've run the platform in Arizona caliche and wet Pacific Northwest sand where single-frequency machines struggle with false signals; the FMF mode stabilizes over hot rocks and delivers clean target ID on deep silver in trashy iron. The wireless coil transmits target signals to the headphones without latency, so you catch fast-moving targets in high-traffic tot lots and recover masked coins under pull tabs.

Beach and Saltwater

The coil carries IP68 waterproof rating to 20 meters, making the Deus II a capable surf hunter when paired with the optional waterproof antenna for submerged operation. Multi-frequency transmission cuts through wet salt mineralization that causes single-frequency VLF detectors to chatter and drift. Ground balance options include tracking, grab, and manual modes, so you can lock settings on dynamic black sand or let the machine auto-adjust as you move from dry sand to the surf line. The control housing is rainproof but not submersible; keep it above the waterline during surf wading. For fully submersible machines, see our waterproof metal detectors." control housing is rainproof but not submersible; keep it above the waterline during surf wading.

Farm Fields and Old Homesteads

Iron-choked colonial sites and Civil War camps benefit from the Deus II's adjustable reactivity and multi-notch discrimination. The platform offers nine reactivity levels and ferrous bottle cap rejection across five levels, letting you unmask high-conductors beside square nails and fence staples. Audio response carries eight levels and multi-tone options from single-tone to five-tone, pitch, and full tones with expert modes for custom audio mapping. We've pulled seated silver from Virginia red clay and deep large cents from New England stone walls using the machine's manual ground balance and threshold controls to cut EMI from power lines and stabilize over variable soil.

Gold Prospecting in Mineralized Terrain

Single-frequency selection down to 4 kHz gives the Deus II sensitivity to larger nuggets in hot ground, while the upper range handles small flake gold when you swap to higher frequencies. The 11-inch coil covers ground efficiently in dry washes and bench deposits; optional 9-inch and 13x11-inch coils are available for tighter brush or deeper pe*******on. Threshold and audio frequency are adjustable, so you can run a faint hum and catch whisper targets in ironstone country.

Wireless Architecture and Onboard Controls

* Latency-free wireless link between coil, remote, headphones, and optional MI-6 pinpointer: XP's patented radio protocol transmits target signals without delay, so you hear iron grunts and high-tone silver the instant the coil passes over them.
* WS6-ST headphones with onboard interface: adjust settings, switch programs, and monitor battery status directly from the headphones without reaching for the remote control, useful when you're hip-mounting the remote or running the machine as a two-piece setup.
* Four-band equalizer and full audio library: shape tone response to emphasize mid-conductors or cut low-frequency iron hum, and select from PWM, square, and other sound types to match your listening preference.
* Twelve factory programs plus twelve user slots: store custom settings for specific sites or target types, and recall them in the field without re-entering discrimination windows or reactivity levels.
* USB software updates: XP releases firmware improvements and new features via internet connection, so the platform evolves without hardware replacement.

* Enhanced maneuverability: the S-curve geometry and collapsible design let you sweep through dense brush, narrow trails, and confined dig sites with less rod interference.

Packability and Portability for Multi-Site Hunts

Backpack Storage Between Permission Sites

When you hunt multiple properties in a single outing, the S-Telescopic Stem collapses to 65cm with a 9-inch coil attached, fitting into a standard daypack without disassembly. We've used this stem on permission-hopping days where a fixed-length rod would require a vehicle trip between sites; the telescopic design eliminates that friction. For detectorists who walk or bike to hunt locations, the compact storage footprint is a meaningful advantage over conventional rods. Learn more about the technologies behind modern detectors and how stem design affects field performance.

Improved Control in Dense Vegetation

The ergonomic rubber grip is contoured to fit the natural curve of your palm, and the grip angle is canted forward to align with wrist position during a low-and-slow sweep. We've run this stem in blackberry thickets and creek-side brush where a straight rod would catch on branches; the S-curve threads through obstacles with less snag.

😍 OKM Fusion Professional Plus Metal Detector with Live Scan Detection 😍
by OKM starting at $18,180.00

OKM Fusion Professional Plus Metal Detector with Live Scan Detection

OKM's Fusion Professional Plus is a 3D ground scanner with integrated inductive search coil. The multi-functional detector supports treasure hunters, archaeologists as well as engineers with graphical 3D measurements, acoustic magnetic field measurements, and instant live images.

The advanced Professional Plus edition can be used in vertical and horizontal orientation and supports the operating modes 3D Ground Scan, Live Sound, and Live Scan.

* 3D Ground Scan allows treasure hunters to visualize and analyze detected structures and objects in three-dimensional scan images. These representations enable detectorists to determine the position, size, and depth of potential treasures and hidden tunnels or burial chambers.
* Live Sound (Magnetometer) allows to detect metal objects near the surface in real-time. Treasure hunters and detectorists use this mode to clear the scan field before performing a more detailed 3D Ground Scan.
* Live Scan with horizontal probe provides immediate visual feedback of the scanned area as color-coded 2D representation.
* Live Scan with vertical probe provides immediate visual feedback of the scanned area in representations similar to ultrasound images.

Detect Larger Objects and Structures with 3D Ground Scan

3D Ground Scan visualizes underground structures and objects in color-coded 3D representations. Moreover, the OKM detection technology allows to detect target objects in depths down to 69 ft (21 m).

High-Resolution Scans with 3D Ground Scan (vertical)

When using the detector in vertical orientation, you carry the probe in one hand and the Tablet in the other. Additionally, the integrated inductive search coil can be enabled.

Multi-Sensor Scans with 3D Ground Scan (horizontal)

3D Ground Scan with horizontal probe is only available with Fusion Professional Plus When using the detector in horizontal orientation, the probe is attached to the Telescopic Rod and the tablet is mounted above the handle. In this way, the detectorist is able to control the detector via software on the tablet very easily. Moreover, the horizontal orientation of the probe allows to record more values at once thanks to the integrated Multi-Sensor technology

Discover Hidden Treasures and Burial Chambers

Fusion Professional Plus users are able to determine buried treasures, artifacts and further hidden objects before excavation. The saved 3D Ground Scan data can be analyzed in detail thanks to the detection software Visualizer 3D Studio: Detectorists are not only able to locate anomalies, but also to determine the size and depth of the detected underground structures.

Detect Metal Objects with the Inductive SRIS Search Coil

The SRIS search coil is used to locate shallow metallic objects close to the surface. The coil can be activated optionally while setting up the operating modes Live Sound, 3D Ground Scan and Live Scan (Ultrasound).

Pinpoint Targets During Excavation

The inductive SRIS search coil is also very useful to pinpoint objects while digging them up. It is easy to determine the general position of a buried object with Live Sound and 3D Ground Scan. In fact, when you start unearthing the detected objects, it can be hard to match the exact spots of hidden items. Thus, check the excavated material with activated SRIS search coil to find even small objects like rings, jewelry, brooches, bracelets, coins, buttons, badges, and pins.

NEW PRODUCT: Garrett Vortex VX5 Multi-Frequency Metal Detector
by Garrett starting at $449.00

The Garrett Vortex VX5 is a multi-frequency metal detector with full 16-foot submersion capability and a lithium-ion battery that runs 15 hours per charge. Built for detectorists who hunt parks, fields, freshwater, and saltwater wading without carrying two machines, the VX5 delivers simultaneous multi-frequency search plus a 13 kHz single-frequency option across mineralized soil and beach sand. We have stocked the Garrett catalog from the original ACE line forward, and the VX5 is the first machine in this slot we are comfortable handing to a working detectorist who wants one rig for multiple environments without compromising on target ID accuracy.

What's Included with the Garrett Vortex VX5

* Garrett Vortex VX5 metal detector with simultaneous multi-frequency technology
* 8.5" x 11" DD Vortex Raider searchcoil
* High-speed USB charging and data cable
* Premium armrest strap
* Quick-start guide

Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Saltwater

Parks and Public Lawns

Manicured turf and local schoolyards reward a detector with clean adjacent-target separation and an honest, repeatable 0-99 target ID scale. When optimizing the garrett vortex vx5 across trash-heavy municipal grounds, the fixed recovery speed excels at plucking high-conductor silver coins out from directly alongside masking iron nails and structural aluminum debris. This makes the machine an incredible asset when cross-shopping the premium options listed in our expert summary of the best metal detectors for coins.

We routinely default to a single-frequency configuration on dry public lawns because it preserves quiet operations around streetlamps, buried utilities, and high-EMI localized park fences. For consistent results, deploy these field-tested configuration benchmarks:

* Search Mode: USA Coins (masks small iron and common foil while keeping nickels cleanly audible)
* Sensitivity: Medium-High (backed off 1 to 2 segments if nearby power lines introduce threshold chatter)
* Frequency: 13 kHz Single-Frequency (or swap to Simultaneous Multi-Freq if encountering hot soil pockets)
* Search Coil: 8.5" x 11" DD Vortex Raider stock assembly

Coin shooters who closely evaluate the broader Garrett Vortex series often leverage this specific model as a entry point, knowing they can execute modular upgrades as their specific hunting style expands into missing relic fields.

Saltwater Beach and Surf Wading

Full control pod and shaft submersibility down to 16 feet transitions this machine directly from the towel line into rolling surf lines, tidal washouts, and wet coastal sand. While traditional single-frequency VLF coin machines chatter and lose stability over marine black sand due to salt conductivity, the Vortex architecture integrates saltwater mineralization directly into its digital target separation engine.

Our marine testing teams prioritize slow, overlapping sweeps to keep target IDs completely locked across variable wet-to-dry beach transitions. Use these specific parameters below the high-tide line:

* Search Mode: Zero (run an all-metal array initially, then notch out modern crown caps as necessary)
* Sensitivity: Medium baseline (adjust up carefully as you transition away from active breaking surf waves)
* Frequency: Simultaneous Multi-Frequency exclusively (do not deploy single frequencies in salt environments)
* Search Coil: 8.5" x 11" DD Vortex Raider for maximum lateral coverage

A fully submersible Garrett Pro-Pointer AT is the logical companion for beach work. It matches the detector's depth rating and dramatically reduces target recovery times inside moving, water-filled holes before incoming surf masks the target spot again.

Relic Hunting and Plowed Agricultural Fields

Old homestead permissions, historical logging camps, and tilled fields are where high-resolution iron handling becomes a primary recovery advantage. Rather than completely silencing ferrous signals—which frequently causes target masking on deeply buried historical brass buttons and colonial copper coins—the iron audio and iron volume controls allow you to monitor iron trash at a significantly lowered, subtle grunt.

When searching wide-open farm fields, coverage tracking and ground mineralization balance are crucial. Deploy these baseline parameters to find masked targets:

* Search Mode: Custom (start from Standard, raise iron tone break thresholds, adjust notch configurations)
* Sensitivity: Medium (restraint on sensitivity ensures the multi-frequency engine maps deeper matrixes in hot soil)
* Ground Balance: Auto tracking (verified with a manual pumping test over clear ground before securing lines)
* Search Coil: 8.5" x 11" DD Vortex Raider, or move to the accessory 14" x 11" DD Vortex Reaper for large-scale open rows

Built-In Lithium Battery and Free Firmware Updates Extend Field Life

* 15-hour lithium-ion battery per charge eliminates the disposable batteries our team used to carry in detector bags: high-speed USB cable recharges the pack and doubles as the firmware data cable.
* Free firmware updates from Garrett have shipped meaningful performance gains since launch, extending the useful life of the unit well past the purchase date: our Vortex firmware update guide walks through the process, and we recommend running the update on day one and again before any saltwater trip.
* Three-pound total weight and 24.75-inch collapsed length make the difference between a detector that travels with our customers and one that gets left at home.
* Z-Lynk wireless headphone compatibility is built in, so an audio upgrade is a single headphone purchase away.
* Backlit LCD with battery condition indicator matters more than people realize during dawn and dusk hunts, and a button lock acts as a dive mode safeguard so the unit cannot accidentally cycle modes underwater.

NEW PRODUCT: XP DEUS II WS6-ST Master Fast Multi-Frequency Metal Detector with 9" FMF Search Coil
by XP Metal Detectors starting at $969.00

The XP DEUS II is a fully wireless multi-frequency metal detector that communicates between coil, remote control, headphones, and optional pinpointer using XP's patented radio protocol system. Built for detectorists hunting coins, relics, and gold across mineralized ground, saltwater beaches, and iron-choked sites, this platform pairs Fast Multi Frequency technology with latency-free target transmission for fast recovery speed and accurate target ID. The WS6-ST Master configuration ships with a 9-inch FMF coil, wireless stereo headphones with onboard controls, and an S-telescopic rod for field-ready setup out of the box.

What's Included with the XP DEUS II WS6-ST Master

* XP DEUS II metal detector with 9-inch FMF search coil and coil cover
* WS6-ST wireless stereo headphones with storage case, 64x64px display, and 4-band equalizer
* S-telescopic rod (58cm folded, extends to 130cm)
* DEUS II Lite charging cable for three components
* Connection clamp

Fast Multi Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Saltwater

The DEUS II runs simultaneous multi-frequency detection or selects from 49 single frequencies between 4 and 45 kHz, letting you adapt to ground conditions without swapping coils. We've run the platform in Arizona caliche and wet Pacific Northwest sand where single-frequency machines struggle with false signals; the FMF mode stabilizes over hot rocks and delivers clean target ID on deep silver in trashy iron. The wireless coil transmits target signals to the headphones without delay, so recovery speed in high-density sites stays fast.

Parks and Iron-Contaminated Homesteads

The 9-inch coil balances coverage and separation for urban parks and old homesteads where iron nails and foil litter the topsoil. Reactivity adjusts across nine levels, letting you slow the detector for depth or speed it up for target separation in nail beds. Multi-notch discrimination with adjustable window width filters ferrous trash while preserving mid-conductors like nickels and gold rings.

Beach and Saltwater Hunting

The coil is waterproof to 20 meters (66 feet) when paired with the optional antenna, and the FMF mode handles wet salt sand and surf without the ground-phase drift that plagues some PI machines on dry sand. We've pulled silver quarters and clad dimes from the wet slope at low tide where the mineralization shifts with every wave cycle; the DEUS II tracks ground balance automatically or lets you grab-balance manually when conditions stabilize.

Gold Prospecting in Hot Soil

Single-frequency operation up to 45 kHz gives sensitivity to small gold in ironstone country. The threshold and audio frequency are adjustable, so you can tune the machine to hear faint whispers on sub-gram nuggets. Hunters working the gold detectors category often cross-shop the DEUS II against dedicated high-frequency platforms; this machine trades the extreme sensitivity of a 60+ kHz specialist for the versatility of a multi-frequency platform that also handles coins and relics.

Wireless Architecture and WS6-ST Headphone Control

* Zero-latency wireless link between coil, remote, and headphones using XP's patented radio protocol across 36 automatic channels.
* WS6-ST headphones carry their own control interface with a 64x64-pixel display, so you adjust settings without reaching for the remote control box.
* Four-band equalizer tailors audio response to your hearing profile; multi-tone modes include 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, Pitch, Full Tones, and Expert configurations.
* Foldable headphone design and 82-gram weight reduce neck strain on long hunts; 15-hour battery life on a single charge covers a full day in the field.
* Rainproof construction on the WS6-ST headphones and remote; the coil is fully submersible when paired with the optional water resistant antenna.
