The Nokta Legend 2 is Nokta's second-generation simultaneous multi-frequency detector: 99 target IDs, five search modes including the new Relic mode, a 6700 mAh battery and full IP68 waterproofing to 16 ft (5 m), in a package that weighs 1.2 kg (2.6 lbs). This bundle adds the second coil that changes what the machine can do, the LD21 8 x 5.5 in Double-D for iron-heavy sites and tight spaces, plus Nokta's Bluetooth aptX Low Latency headphones and the DetectoBag backpack so the whole kit travels in one bag. If you want the detector and coils without the backpack, see our Legend 2 dual coil listing.

What You Gain with the Legend 2
- Simultaneous multi-frequency plus five single frequencies: Multi modes for coins, relics, beach and gold, with 4, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz single frequencies when you want to target one conductor range.
- 99 target IDs and FerroCheck: Up from 60 on the original Legend, with ferrous analysis that sorts bottle caps and modern trash before you dig, and target ID visible in Pinpoint mode.
- Five search modes, fifteen profiles: Park, Field, Beach, Relic and Gold, each with three user profiles you can save.
- Seven harmonic tones: Tone breaks and pitch are adjustable so you can hear the difference between clad and silver.
- 30 sensitivity levels, 19 noise cancel channels: Room to run hot in clean ground and quiet near power lines.
- Waterproof to 16 ft: IP68 control box and coils, with bone-conduction headphone support for in-water hunting.
- 6700 mAh battery: About a third more runtime than the original Legend.
- Wireless firmware updates, backlit keypad and LED flashlight: No cable needed for updates, and the hunt does not end at dusk.
Why the Second Coil and the Backpack
The LD28 11 in coil covers most hunting: parks, fields, beaches. The LD21 8 x 5.5 in elliptical is the coil for cellar holes, fence lines and trashy picnic areas, where the 11 in coil masks a coin sitting next to a nail. Swapping coils takes a minute. The DetectoBag carries the Legend 2 collapsed to 25 in with the 11 in coil still mounted, the 8 x 5.5 in coil, headphones, pinpointer and digger in separate compartments, with a rain cover for the walk back. We sell it separately as the Nokta DetectoBag.
Field Use
Parks and Sports Fields
Park mode in Multi with the LD28, three or five tones, sensitivity around 24. Silver and clad read in the 80s and 90s; pull tabs scatter through the 40s. Switch to the LD21 for the trashy strip along paths and playground edges.
Old Homesites and Relic Fields
The new Relic mode is built for iron-heavy ground: run it with the LD21, a fast recovery speed and FerroCheck on, and let the 99-point ID separate buttons and buckles from nails. Drop to 4 or 10 kHz single frequency for deep large copper and lead.
Beach, Wet Sand and Shallow Water
Beach mode handles wet salt sand in Multi where single-frequency machines fall apart, and the IP68 rating covers wading and snorkeling to 16 ft. The included Bluetooth headphones are not waterproof, so use the speaker or a bone-conduction headset in the water, and pair the kit with a sand scoop.
Gold Prospecting
Gold mode leans on 40 kHz for small nuggets in mineralized ground, and the LD21 is the coil for bedrock crevices. For dedicated nugget machines, compare with our gold detector collection.
Legend 2 vs. the Original Legend
The Legend 2 expands target IDs from 60 to 99, adds the Relic mode and target ID in Pinpoint, moves to a harmonic audio engine, adds 19 noise cancel channels, wireless firmware updates, bone-conduction headphone support and a backlit keypad, and drops about 0.4 lbs. Original Legend coils and accessories are still in our Legend collection.
