XP ICON-X Fast Multi-Frequency Metal Detector with WSA ST Headphones
The XP ICON-X is a simultaneous Fast Multi-Frequency (FMF) platform built for operators who care about the find and the historical context around it. At History Seekers, our working principle is simple: the story is more important than the artifact. The ICON-X earns its place in that philosophy by recovering targets cleanly enough that you can accurately read a site, not just empty it, all while keeping you in the dirt longer with an ultra-lightweight chassis that weighs approximately 1.85 lbs (838 grams).
Technical Performance Advantages
- Simultaneous FMF Processing: The ICON-X transmits and analyzes multiple frequencies at the exact same time rather than cycling through them sequentially. The result is stable ground handling and highly accurate target ID numbers across mixed soil mineralization, wet saltwater beaches, and iron-heavy trash ground, all in a single pass. This is the identical multi-frequency engineering family that powers the flagship XP Deus II line.
- Dedicated 28 kHz Mono Frequency for Unmasking: Beyond simultaneous multi-frequency capabilities, the ICON-X allows selection of 3 discrete mono frequencies: 4 kHz, 14 kHz, and a dedicated 28 kHz mode. The 28 kHz mono setting is a specialized tool for pinpointing micro-gold jewelry, thin hammered coins, and historical relics sitting completely on edge that lower frequencies skip right past. When a high-value signal is partially hidden next to iron, this high frequency isolates it cleanly.
- Lag-Free WSA ST Wireless Audio Loop: The included WSA ST wireless stereo headphones operate on XP's proprietary low-latency digital radio link, closing the audio circuit between the search coil and your ears with no perceptible delay. Fast iron grunts and faint non-ferrous whispers arrive in real time, which is exactly what reactive hunting in iron-heavy ground demands. No cables to snag in the brush, and no signal lag to second-guess.
- Full XP Deus II Ecosystem Cross-Compatibility: The ICON-X is engineered to sit directly inside the existing XP Deus II component family. Compatible search coils, wireless audio options, and pinpointers carry across seamlessly, protecting your equipment investments and giving you a deeply proven pool of hardware to expand into as your hunting needs evolve.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the standard XP ICON and this ICON-X?
The ICON-X is the premium, upgraded build configuration. Compared to the standard ICON, it provides an expanded set of specialized search programs, a rigid carbon fiber middle stem rather than standard materials, finer discrimination resolution tracking in 0.5-point steps, a full 7-level reactivity range for separating targets in dense trash, and the high-performance 28 kHz mono frequency that the standard unit lacks. The ICON-X is built specifically for operators chasing small, deep, or heavily masked targets where signal resolution decides the dig.
Will my existing XP Deus II search coils and accessories work with the ICON-X?
Yes. The ICON-X is fully backward-compatible with the XP Deus II accessory line. This means you can swap FMF search coils, link your MI-6 wireless pinpointer, or use alternative XP wireless headphones across platforms without purchasing specialized adapters.
Is the headphone connection wired or wireless?
The included WSA ST headphones are completely wireless. They connect directly to the control unit using XP's lag-free digital audio transmitter, ensuring you hear rapid target targets immediately with no physical cords catching on branches or gear.
Can the ICON-X be safely used in saltwater or fully submerged?
Yes, but with an important restriction regarding the audio gear. The ICON-X remote control pod and the 11-inch (28 cm) FMF search coil carry a robust IP68 waterproof rating, making them completely submersible to depths of 16 feet (5 meters). This setup is fully optimized for hunting wet-sand beach surf zones, wading in mountain creeks, or searching underwater targets. However, the included WSA ST wireless headphones are weather-resistant but NOT waterproof. They must never be submerged or exposed to deep water waves. For fully submerged diving or underwater detection, specialized waterproof bone-conduction or wired dive headphones are required.
