It’s no surprise that the XP MI-6 tops our Wishlist. It’s been the most-added item by a mile. Detectorists love how seamlessly it pairs with XP machines, delivering precision, speed, and minimal noise in the field. The MI-6 helps locate targets quickly and accurately, cutting down on dig time and boosting overall efficiency. It’s rugged, reliable, and considered an essential bit of kit by beginners and seasoned hunters alike.

Every time we get these in stock, they vanish. Fast. The HF2 Elliptical Coil allows DEUS II users to push their detector’s performance to new levels, especially in tricky environments. Its shape offers superb separation and sensitivity, making it ideal for unearthing small or deep targets that standard coils might miss. Its high-frequency capability also makes it a favourite among those chasing hammered coins, jewellery, and elusive small relics.

A good spade can transform a day’s detecting, and the Evolution Pro Cut SE has earned its reputation. Known for cutting clean, tidy plugs with minimal ground disturbance, this spade makes digging easier and more comfortable. Detectorists praise its ergonomic handle, sharp blade, and robust build. A combination that makes even stubborn roots or compacted soil feel manageable. It’s a wishlist regular for a reason.

A must-have tool for anyone who loves bringing their finds back to life. The Composite Cleaning Pencil is designed specifically for safely cleaning coins, relics and delicate artefacts without causing damage. Its interchangeable tips allow detectorists to remove dirt, corrosion and surface debris with precision, revealing detail that might otherwise stay hidden. Lightweight, reusable and incredibly effective, it’s one of the most popular wishlist additions for detectorists who take pride in restoring and displaying their discoveries.

Small but incredibly useful, these tip protectors help extend the life of XP pinpointers by shielding them from wear and tear during digs. Hard ground, stones, and abrasive soil can quickly damage probe tips over time.
