IBMe Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Real or fake? https://md-hunter.com/new-metal-detector-xp-icon-7x-first-photos/ Reply from XP, according to ‘The History Digger.’ “… photos come from US testing organization … not up to date.” “… characteristics listed … not accurate.” However, that’s not a denial that a new detector isn't in the works. If the picture is just “not up to date,” then there is a newer version. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 It's real Trademarked it already It's a lot closer than we think too with the FCC already done The photos they've got are from the FCC testing here I think Steve's right, a cheaper version as XP are missing out on a huge market by only really having their SMF technology in their high end unit. It has a weird little joystick type thing on the side, not quite sure what that is. Plenty of reading to do now on the FCC site. No coil cable connector, so it's wireless coils, hopefully using the XP Deus 2 coils. 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBMe Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 It has a different ID scheme. I’m assuming you’d have to update the coils, and you wouldn’t be able to switch back and forth. The thing on the side is a USB port. After Garrett’s problems, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s what changed. Looks nice. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299317 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see, yes it has a lock and unlock on it, sounds like it's waterproof to need that. (Update: It's said to be IP68) so 2 to 5 meters I would guess. This image shows the screen on with big ID's Confirmed its wireless for coils from the cover letter on the FCC Site. 4 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299321 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBMe Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Good move. They’ll get another, guessing $800, out of everybody with a D2. Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299323 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob S. Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Creating controversy and hearsay seems to be today the best way to introduce new products! They take on a life all their own! That's called free advertising. Nice to see XP catering to those of us with aged eyes. That was the main point for me to dismiss both Deus' and ORX when I had mine. It honestly cemented me back to my Apex quickly. They need graphic help on the upper legend. The size and weight might be a little risky for an already minimal attachment though. 3 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299324 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBMe Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 They have a clean slate. Everybody else made their move. I’m guessing they’re going to have some stuff in there to take all comers. 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299328 Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBMe Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Price: 30000.00 UAH = $716.70 May not be right. https://lopata.com.ua/ua/gruntovi_metaloshukachi/XP_ICON_7X.html Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
abenson Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Looks like what the ORX was to the XP Deus. Not as adjustable but basically the same performance as a Deus. Be interesting to know if there's a gold program in that unit. 2 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/28734-new-xp-detector-icon-7x/#findComment-299339 Share on other sites More sharing options...
