XP ORX metal detector

Wireless single-frequency — lightweight gold and relic specialist

The XP ORX is a wireless single-frequency detector built for hunters who want Deus-style speed and iron separation without multi-frequency complexity. It pairs a dedicated high-frequency elliptic coil with a compact remote and telescopic stem for fast gold and relic hunting. XP designed it for prospectors, relic hunters, and wireless enthusiasts who prioritize reactivity over menu depth. Brushy hillsides, iron-heavy home sites, and mineralized gold ground are where the ORX earns its reputation.
