Description
The deep targets are still out there. Minie balls that settled for 160 years, belt plates under old plow lines, the beach drop that sank below everyone else's coil. This DEUS II package pairs the 11 in FMF search coil, the depth and coverage choice, with WS6 ST stereo headphones that are a complete second controller in their own right. Reach deeper, cover more, and never lose the hunt if the remote goes down.
Why This Package
This is the full-boat DEUS II with the 11 in / 28 cm FMF search coil: wider sweep AND more depth than the 9 in. That combination is why this coil size is a favorite of American Civil War relic hunters chasing minie balls, belt plates, and artillery fragments that have had generations to sink, and why beach hunters and big-field detectorists reach for it. The usual big-coil penalty is masking in trash; XP's fast signal processing keeps recovery speed high, so this coil separates targets in iron-peppered camps better than some detectors running the same coil size. FMF Fast Multi Frequency runs 4 to 45 kHz simultaneously (49 single frequencies when you want to lock one in). The WS6 ST headset earns the "stereo" in its name with XP's V4 stereo audio firmware, and its master mode means it can run the entire detector by itself: coil control, settings, target ID on its own screen. Buy one detector, own a backup controller.
Stereo Changes the Hunt: Do Not Buy the Discontinued Version by Accident
Shopping the DEUS II line right now, you will see lower-priced packages at many dealers. Look closely: most of those still include the previous generation non-stereo WS6 or WSA II headphones. Those packages are discontinued, and they cannot do what this one does. XP's V4 firmware gives ST stereo headsets Stereo Multi-Processing: two fully independent detection channels running at the same time. Run two different Reactivity settings at once, one in each ear, deep-and-slow in one channel and fast target separation in the other. In XP's own words, it eliminates the compromise between depth and target separation. In field terms, it is like covering the same ground twice with one swing. The older headphones will never run these features; XP built V4 for the ST generation. At this level of the hobby, buy the current machine once instead of the discontinued one twice.

Dual Axis mode (Firmware 4.1): the deep-target combination this 11 in coil was made for. One ear runs your discrimination program while the other runs a non-motion all-metal channel with a wider detection footprint that hears large, deep targets standard motion programs miss entirely. Pair that channel with this coil's extra depth and the deep minie balls, belt plates, and artillery fragments that everyone else walked over come into reach. The audio envelope even lets you judge a target's size and shape before you dig: a broad envelope on the all-metal channel with a weak iron click on the other means big iron; short envelopes on both means a coin-sized target.
Multi-Processing and Audio Morphing (Firmware V4). Dual Reactivity runs a fast, trash-separating profile in one ear and a deep, slow profile in the other. Audio Morphing shifts the tone character as the search coil closes in on a target, so you read depth and proximity by ear without looking at the screen.
Working tight, trash-choked ground instead? See the 9 in sibling. Chasing small gold or coins on edge? See the DEUS II Gold. For extreme-depth artillery and cache work beyond any conventional coil, see the Xtrem Hunter.
Technical Specs and Benefits
| Spec | What it does in the field |

| Assembled weight 2.47 lb / 1,119 g (History Seekers measured) | Full-day swing weight, weighed on our own scale so you know the real number |
| V4.1 Dual Axis mode (ST headsets only) | Discrimination in one ear, non-motion all-metal in the other: hear deep targets motion modes miss, judge size and shape by ear |
| V4 Stereo Multi-Processing (ST headsets only) | Two independent detection channels: run two Reactivity settings at once, one per ear, no more depth vs separation compromise |

Compatibility
- Search coils: 11 in / 28 cm FMF (included), 9 in / 22.5 cm FMF, 13x11 in / 34x28 cm FMF, HF2 elliptical 9.5 x 5 in / 24 x 13 cm. All pair wirelessly.
- Audio/control: WS6 ST (included) doubles as a master controller; also compatible with WSA-ST, WSA-XL ST, WSA II, WSA II-XL.

- Firmware: free XP updates; keep headset firmware matched to the remote. V4 and V4.1 stereo features require an ST headset like the one in this package.
Who It's For
Three hunters in particular. Civil War relic hunters who need depth on minie balls, belt plates, and artillery fragments across battlefield and camp acreage. Beach hunters whose targets sink below average coil reach. And anyone covering large farm fields where sweep width is the whole game. If you work tight, trash-choked sites all day, the 9 in sibling is the precision pick; if your targets run small (fine gold, coins on edge), the DEUS II Gold's high-frequency coil is the better fit. This package is the depth and coverage flagship.
