The XP 11-inch FMF search coil is the balanced, everyday coil choice for detectorists who want more ground coverage than the 9-inch coil without moving to the larger and heavier 13-inch × 11-inch coil. Its round 28 cm design is well suited to coins, jewelry, relics and beach hunting.
This is a complete replacement or additional coil package—not just a bare search coil. XP supplies the coil cover, lower stem and mounting hardware so switching coils is faster and easier.
Why Choose the XP 11-Inch FMF Coil?
Coil selection always involves a compromise between separation, coverage, depth and weight. The 11-inch FMF coil sits near the center of XP’s standard coil lineup, making it an excellent general-purpose choice for customers who hunt several different types of locations.
If you only want one standard FMF coil for a mixture of park, field, relic and beach hunting, the 11-inch is usually the easiest recommendation. It covers ground faster than the 9-inch coil but remains easier to maneuver than the larger 13-inch × 11-inch coil.
XP FMF Technology
FMF stands for Fast and simultaneous Multi Frequency. Instead of relying on only one operating frequency, compatible XP detectors can process multiple frequencies together. This provides versatile performance across high-conductive coins, lower-conductive jewelry, relics, mineralized ground and saltwater beaches.
When paired with an XP DEUS II controller, the coil also provides access to 49 selectable single-frequency choices covering approximately 4–45 kHz. Actual frequency availability and operating controls depend on the detector and controller being used.
Where the 11-Inch Coil Works Best
- Parks and schoolyards: Good coverage for coins and jewelry while remaining manageable around trees and playground equipment.
- Fields and old home sites: Covers open ground efficiently and provides strong performance on coins and relics.
- Beaches: A practical size for searching dry sand, wet salt sand and shallow water.
- Pastures and farm ground: Offers a useful balance between ground coverage and target response.
- General-purpose detecting: A strong choice for customers who do not want to change coils at every new location.
Compare XP’s Standard FMF Coil Sizes
| FMF Coil | Approximate Weight | Best Strength | Consider If You Hunt |
|---|---|---|---|
| 9-Inch Round | 345 g | Maneuverability and target separation | Iron-heavy sites, woods, foundations and tight spaces |
| 11-Inch Round | 470 g | Best all-around balance | Parks, fields, beaches and mixed locations |
| 13-Inch × 11-Inch | 570 g | Maximum coverage in open ground | Large fields, beaches, pastures and low-trash locations |
The largest coil is not automatically the best coil for every location. Heavy trash, dense iron, brush and closely spaced targets often favor a smaller search coil. Open ground and widely scattered targets generally make a larger coil more useful.

DEUS II, ICON and ICON-X Compatibility
This D28FMF coil was introduced for the XP DEUS II platform. XP’s newer ICON and ICON-X detectors also support the DEUS II FMF coil ecosystem, but available programs, individual frequencies, battery estimates and waterproof limits are controlled by the complete detector configuration.
ICON and ICON-X owners: Contact Bart before ordering so we can verify the correct lower stem and configuration for your detector. The 20-meter rating applies to the coil itself; the waterproof limit of the complete detector is determined by the controller, headphones and accessories being used.

XP 11-Inch FMF Coil Frequently Asked Questions
Does this coil include a lower stem?
Yes. XP supplies the 11-inch FMF coil with a lower stem, coil cover and mounting hardware.
How much does the coil weigh?
The coil weighs approximately 470 grams, or about 16.6 ounces.
How long does the internal coil battery last?
XP rates the wireless battery for up to approximately 20 hours. Actual runtime varies with the program, frequencies, settings, battery condition and temperature.
Is the XP 11-inch FMF coil waterproof?
The coil itself is waterproof to approximately 20 meters or 66 feet. When detecting underwater, the waterproof limit of the complete detector system and the required underwater antenna and audio equipment must also be considered.
Is the 11-inch coil better than the 9-inch coil?
Neither coil is better everywhere. The 11-inch coil covers more ground and is an excellent general-purpose choice. The 9-inch coil is lighter and often easier to use around dense iron, modern trash, brush and closely spaced targets.
Should I choose the 11-inch or 13-inch × 11-inch coil?
Choose the 11-inch coil for a more balanced everyday setup. Consider the 13-inch × 11-inch coil when maximum coverage in open fields, pastures or beaches matters more than additional size and weight.
