XP DEUS 2 13×11″ Coil Review | Pros, Cons & Field Test

In-depth review of the XP DEUS 2 13×11″ FMF coil. Discover its performance in depth, coverage, target separation, EMI, battery life, and more for serious detectorists

 

Introduction: Why Consider the XP DEUS 2 13×11″ FMF Coil?

If you’re a detectorist who wants maximum ground coverage and enhanced depth detection, the XP DEUS 2 13×11″  coil may already be on your radar. Built for use with the XP DEUS II metal detector, this coil is designed for simultaneous multi-frequency operation and is touted to offer better detection of deep or widely spaced targets — especially in open fields, beaches, and pastureland.

But is this coil worth the upgrade? And how does it perform in real-world field conditions?

This review dives into everything you need to know, including coil specs, performance, pros and cons, user feedback, and field test tips for getting the most out of this powerful accessory.

When XP introduced the DEUS II, it shook up the detecting world with its fast multi-frequency (FMF) platform and waterproof design. But serious detectorists know that your machine is only half the equation — the coil you run can make or break your session. Enter the XP DEUS 2 13×11 coil, a powerhouse upgrade designed for those chasing greater depth, wider coverage, and serious results.

But does bigger really mean better? And can this coil live up to the hype in real-world field conditions?

In this in-depth review, we put the 13×11″ FMF coil through its paces — from ploughed fields and  iron-littered pastures  to find out if this larger coil truly deserves a spot in your detecting arsenal.

What Is the XP DEUS 2 13×11″ Coil?

Let’s start with the basics. The 13×11 is part of XP’s premium line of accessory coils for the DEUS II metal detector. It utilizes Fast Multi Frequency (FMF) technology, meaning it can run multiple frequencies simultaneously — from 4 kHz all the way to 45 kHz — for optimized performance on a wide variety of targets and soil types.

With a larger footprint than the standard 9″ or 11″ coils, the 13×11″ is clearly built for those who prioritize ground coverage and target depth. It’s designed for open terrain like beaches, farmland, or relic sites where you can swing wide and dig deep.

Technical Specifications

 

We tested the 13×11″ coil across three very different locations plough and pasture field, stubble,

One of the first things we noticed is just how much more ground you can cover per swing. Compared to the 11″ coil, the 13×11 provides roughly 30–35% more coverage, which really adds up over a 5-hour session. This makes it an excellent choice for rally days or large-scale grid work.

 

Depth Detection: Big Coil, Big Results

The 13×11 coil shines on medium to large targets at depth. We recovered coins at 10–12 inches  

With this coil you can get a lot of targets at once  so you do sometimes dig more than 1 target near it  

 EMI Resistance Stable with Some Caveats

The coil handled most environments well, including powerlines  although  you can use scan to help with this and stop chatter

Ergonomics & Swing Weight Manageable, But Heavier

At 570g, the coil is not drastically heavier than the 11″, but over hours of use, you start to feel it  especially in the forearm and wrist. We recommend using a harness or swing assist

 Battery Life: Solid But Not Unlimited

Battery life hovered between 14 and 18 hours, depending on the program and frequency. The charging clip, while functional, can be finicky to align properly — so double-check the connection before heading out.

Who Should Use the 13×11 FMF Coil?

• Relic Hunters: Ideal for deep finds in open fields or pastures

• Beach Hunters: Excellent for dry/wet sand and surf edges

• Coin Shooters: Great in clean areas with low iron concentration

• Field Griders: Perfect for covering large areas methodically

 

If you can handle the weight then get this one as it will be deeper and cover more of an area and can pick up wide range of items coins, and all different metals including sliver and gold.
