XP Icon X metal detector

Premium Icon — adds 28 kHz, reactivity 0–6, 49 custom slots

The XP Icon X is the premium Icon with added 28 kHz, wider reactivity control, and deep program storage for hunters who tune aggressively. It keeps the ultra-light wireless build while opening more separation and gold-range options. XP designed it for advanced wireless hunters and gold-minded diggers who want Icon portability with more control. Brushy gold districts, trashy relic lines, and technical park hunts reward the extra frequency and reactivity headroom.
