XP is the French manufacturer that rewrote the rules on what a high-performance detector should weigh and how it should connect. Built around the celebrated Deus platform, XP machines are fully wireless, exceptionally light and fast — and kept current for years through frequent firmware updates, so a detector you buy today keeps gaining capability long after the sale.
The signature technology is FMF (Fast Multi Frequency): XP transmits many frequencies at once and combines the most relevant, while a patented zero-latency digital link ties the coil, remote and headphones together with no cables to snag. For gold hunters in heavily mineralised, iron-infested African ground, that combination separates real signals from the noise other detectors drown in.
At AO Gold Detectors we carry two XP models, both made in France and backed by a 5-year manufacturer warranty: the Deus II, a fully wireless FMF detector that reaches tiny, low-conductivity gold and stays waterproof to 20 m; and the Xtrem Hunter, a deep-seeking 2-box that extends the same Deus II platform to targets up to 5 m down — with iron rejection that is rare for a deep machine. As an authorised dealer we supply genuine stock with full warranty across Sudan, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad, Guinea, Senegal and the wider region, with expert advice in Arabic, French and English on WhatsApp.
How to choose
- Deus II — the all-rounder: fully wireless FMF with multi-frequency plus 49 single frequencies (4–45 kHz). High-frequency sensitivity reaches sub-gram nuggets and fine gold in mineralised ground, and it's waterproof to 20 m. Best first XP and the choice for most prospectors.
- Xtrem Hunter — the deep specialist: a 2-box that extends the Deus II platform to large targets up to 5 m down, with rare iron rejection. For deep relics, caches, tanks and pipes — not small surface gold.
- Already own a Deus II? The Xtrem Hunter shares your remote, wireless headphones and FMF coils, so you can swap to deep-search mode and back to a coil in seconds.
- Weight & comfort: at ~0.75 kg the Deus II is among the lightest serious detectors made; the Xtrem Hunter stays single-person friendly at 2.9 kg on a 120 cm frame.
- Both are made in France with a 5-year manufacturer warranty; firmware updates keep adding features over the life of the machine.
