What Is the Nokta Double Score Metal Detector?
The Nokta Double Score metal detector runs simultaneous multi-frequency (SMF) detection with a selectable 15 kHz single-frequency option for sites where a narrow response works better. It ships with one waterproof DD coil, the SC30 (12" x 9"), and the entire detector is IP68 rated to 5 meters (16 ft), so wading the surf, hunting wet sand, or detecting through a rainstorm is part of the design brief. Onboard you get 60 target IDs, three search modes (Park, Field, Beach), Auto, Manual, and Tracking ground balance, Iron Filter 0 to 9, a notch filter, and two custom user profiles. The Double Score sits between the entry-level Nokta Score and the feature-rich Triple Score Pro Pack, giving intermediate hunters more sensitivity range, full ground balance control, and recovery speed adjustment without stepping up to the multi-coil pro package.
Key Features That Matter in the Field
- Simultaneous Multi-Frequency (SMF): Multi mode fires all frequencies at once for stable target ID on salt sand and in mineralized ground. Switch to 15 kHz for trashy sites where a sharper single-frequency response helps you pick targets out of iron.
- SC30 12" x 9" Waterproof DD Coil included: Covers ground efficiently in open fields, parks, and beaches. Smaller (SC24, 9.5" x 6") and larger (SC35, 13.5" x 12.5") coils are sold separately for tight trashy sites or maximum depth.
- IP68 Submersible to 16 ft: Control box and coil are sealed for full submersion in fresh or salt water. Vibration alerts handle target hits underwater.
- Auto, Manual, and Tracking Ground Balance: Tracking holds a clean signal in shifting mineralization, manual locks the GB for stability over a known site, and auto sets a baseline at startup.
- Recovery Speed 1 to 3, Iron Filter 0 to 9, Notch Filter: Tune separation in iron-heavy ground, set how much iron breaks through audio, and notch IDs that match bottle caps or pull-tabs without losing rings.
- Carbon-Fiber Lower and Upper Shafts, 2.6 lb total: Adjustable 25" to 52", collapses for travel.
- 3250 mAh Lithium-Polymer Battery, 12-Hour Runtime: USB charge from any port or power bank in the field. Bluetooth audio output to compatible wireless headphones (sold separately).
Who Should Buy the Nokta Double Score?
The Double Score fits intermediate detectorists upgrading from a single-frequency VLF who want SMF performance in mineralized soil and on salt beaches without relearning a deep menu system. Coastal hunters working wet sand and shallow surf get the IP68 build and SMF stability where fixed-frequency machines chatter. Park and field hunters get the Iron Filter, notch, and full Auto/Manual/Tracking ground balance the base Score lacks. The Double Score is not the right pick for hunters who already need tone break, threshold, bottle cap rejection, or a dedicated Relic mode. Those controls sit on the Triple Score Pro Pack.
Nokta Double Score vs. the Score Series Lineup
All three Nokta Score series models share the same SMF engine, IP68 16-foot rating, 60 target IDs, vibration, Bluetooth output, and 3250 mAh lithium-polymer battery. The differences sit in sensitivity range, recovery speed, ground balance, included coils, included headphones, and advanced tone tools.
