17 years of my life in the world of metal detectors. Every year the manufacturers release various new products, announce revolutions and magical technologies… But while we dig holes in the ground, these marketing managers dig holes in our brains. And if only they did it with a shovel. The French company XP Metal Detectors has now switched to an industrial drilling rig offering “Find More Than Gold.” Is it even legal?

Few people know that for the owner of XP Metal, manufacturing metal detectors is not the only focus. Just business.
The XP HF2 coil makes it worth taking another look at highly magnetic soil zones. I’ve come across huge stretches of land that were basically ‘invisible’ before because of the soil’s magnetism—and honestly, that’s the coolest part for me!
All that’s left is for the manufacturer to develop a way for the detector to distinguish between a pull tab and a gold ring with the same ID.
