The XP MI-4 is a rechargeable waterproof pinpointer built for detectorists who need fast target recovery without the radio-link premium of the MI-6. XP Deus and ORX owners hunting trashy parks, saltwater beaches, and freshwater sites get the same core feature set as the MI-6 (6 sensitivity programs, dual audio modes, vibration feedback, 20ft waterproof rating) at a lower entry price. The MI-4 trades the Deus radio connection for standalone operation, making it a practical choice for detectorists running non-XP machines or hunting with a backup pinpointer.

What's Included with the XP MI-4

• XP MI-4 waterproof pinpointer with rechargeable lithium battery
• Rotating holster for belt carry
• Black lanyard with stainless steel ring
• USB charging cable
• Instruction manual

Why Detectorists Running XP and Multi-Brand Setups Reach for the MI-4

• Rechargeable lithium battery eliminates the 9-volt swap routine common to budget pinpointers.
• Waterproof to 6 meters (20 feet) for wading river hunts, surf-zone detecting, and rain-soaked park sessions without a protective cover.
• Six sensitivity programs and three levels per program give you granular control in trashy iron-contaminated sites where a single-sensitivity pinpointer false-triggers constantly.
• Dual audio modes (pitch or pulse) plus vibration feedback let you run silent in crowded parks or switch to audible tones when gloves dampen vibration feel.
• Made in France at XP's facility, backed by a 2-year warranty and the same build quality as the MI-6. Compare the MI-4 to the radio-linked MI-6 when you need Deus integration.

Fast Target Recovery in High-Trash Park Sites

Iron-Contaminated Tot Lots and Bleacher Zones

Tot lots and sports-field perimeters bury good targets (coins, jewelry) inches from pull-tabs, foil, and rusted bottle caps. The MI-4's six-program sensitivity range lets you dial back reactivity when the hole lights up with multiple targets. Start at program 3 (mid sensitivity) for general park work, drop to program 1 or 2 when iron falsing spikes, climb to program 5 or 6 in clean sand or mulch. The fast re-tune button (single press) nulls ground noise without cycling through menus. Pitch mode gives you a rising tone as you close on the target, pulse mode delivers rapid beeps that tighten as the tip nears metal.

Saltwater Beach Hunting in Wet Sand and Surf

The 20-foot waterproof rating covers wading hunts in chest-deep surf and accidental submersion when a wave knocks you off balance. Rinse the MI-4 in fresh water after each saltwater session to clear salt residue from the speaker grille and charging port cover. Run program 2 or 3 in wet sand to avoid false signals from mineralization, switch to vibration-only mode when wave noise drowns out the speaker. The rotating holster clips to your belt or detector harness and pivots 360 degrees so the pinpointer rides horizontal during wading without snagging your wetsuit.

How it compares to other XP pinpointers

The MI-4 shares the MI-6's core hardware (waterproof construction, rechargeable battery, six programs, dual audio modes) but omits the radio link to the Deus detector. The table below contrasts the two models on connectivity, battery life, and submersion depth.
