XP Deus II Package #5 + High Frequency Coil: One of the Best Detector Setups Going Into 2026​

Every year there’s a lot of talk about “the next best metal detector,” but going into 2026, one setup continues to stand out for real-world performance and value: XP Deus II Package #5 paired with the High Frequency Elliptical FMF coil.

Right now, XP Deus II Package #5 is $300 off, priced at $1,299, and when you add the high frequency coil, it creates an extremely versatile setup that covers coins, relics, jewelry, and even small gold very well. For the money, it’s one of the smartest combinations you can put together.

Why the XP Deus II Is Still a Top Detector in 2026​

The XP Deus II has proven itself over time. It’s not just popular because it’s wireless or lightweight — it’s popular because it flat-out performs.

Some of the biggest strengths of the XP Deus II include:

  • True simultaneous multi-frequency performance
  • Very fast recovery speed and excellent target separation
  • Lightweight and well balanced for long hunts
  • Fully wireless design (coil, remote, and headphones)
  • Plenty of adjustability without being overly complicated
Whether you’re hunting old sites full of iron or modern parks loaded with trash, the Deus II does a great job of pulling good targets out of tough conditions.

XP Deus II Package #5 – $1,299 ($300 Off)​

At $1,299, XP Deus II Package #5 is one of the best values XP has offered in a long time. It gives you a high-end, multi-frequency detector at a price that makes sense, especially for someone upgrading from an older machine.

This package is a great fit for:

  • Detectorists moving up from single-frequency or older multi-frequency units
  • Anyone who wants a detector they won’t outgrow
  • Hunters who want performance without paying full flagship pricing
Even by itself, Package #5 is a solid setup. But adding the right coil is what really takes it to the next level.

Why Adding the High Frequency Elliptical Coil Makes a Big Difference​

Pairing XP Deus II Package #5 with the High Frequency Elliptical FMF coil is where this setup really shines.

This coil is especially useful if you hunt:

  • Trashy parks or iron-heavy sites
  • Areas with mineralized soil
  • Small or low-conductive targets

What the High Frequency Coil Does Well​

  • Improves sensitivity to small targets
  • Helps hit thin coins, jewelry, and small gold
  • Provides better separation in tight or trashy areas
  • Handles mineralized ground more effectively
  • Elliptical shape allows better control in tight spots
In simple terms, this coil helps you find targets that are easier to miss with a standard coil.

A Very Well-Rounded Detector Setup for 2026​

When you combine:

You end up with a setup that can handle almost anything you throw at it. Coin shooting, relic hunting, jewelry hunting, and even gold prospecting are all well within reach with this combination.

It’s lightweight, fast, easy to travel with, and flexible enough that you can adjust it to just about any site or hunting style.

Frequently Asked Questions​

Is the XP Deus II still worth buying in 2026?​

Yes. The XP Deus II is still one of the most capable detectors available. Its speed, multi-frequency performance, and wireless design keep it competitive with anything currently on the market.

Is XP Deus II Package #5 good for someone upgrading?​

Absolutely. Package #5 is a great upgrade option if you’re coming from an older detector and want something more modern without overspending.

Do I need the high frequency coil?​

You don’t need it, but adding it gives you better performance on small and low-conductive targets and makes the Deus II much more versatile overall.

Is the high frequency coil good for gold?​

Yes. The higher frequency range makes it more sensitive to small gold targets compared to standard coils.

Can I use other coils later?​

Yes. One of the advantages of the XP platform is coil flexibility. You can add or swap coils as your detecting needs change.
