Nokta FINDX Metal Detector Parts & Accessories

The Nokta FINDX is a single 15 kHz frequency metal detector with Field, Park and Beach search modes, a 0 to 99 target ID, an FX28 11 inch DD coil that is waterproof to 1 m (3.3 ft), a system box that is not waterproof, a built-in 2300 mAh rechargeable battery and a weight of 2.6 lb (1.2 kg). The Nokta FINDX collection holds the shafts, armrest, coil cover, USB cable, screen protectors, system box cover, batteries, headphone adapter and bags that fit the FINDX. For a new detector at this level, the FINDX Pro is waterproof to 5 m (16 ft) as a whole detector and adds a Jewelry mode.

Nokta FINDX Overview for Owners

The Nokta FINDX runs a single 15 kHz operating frequency with Field, Park and Beach search modes, a 0 to 99 target ID, notch discrimination, pinpoint, five sensitivity levels and five volume levels, with a backlit graphic mono LCD and a keypad backlight. Its FX28 11 inch DD coil is waterproof to 1 m (3.3 ft); on the FINDX only the search coil is waterproof, so the system box has to stay dry. The FINDX weighs 1.2 kg (2.6 lb), adjusts from 63 to 132 cm (25 to 52 inch) on an aluminum and plastic shaft, and has a built-in 2300 mAh lithium battery that Nokta rates at an average of 12 hours per charge, with about 3 hours to charge over USB. The FINDX box holds the detector, the coil with cover, headphones, a standard digger, the USB charger and data cable and a carrying bag. Nokta covers the FINDX for 2 years.

Upgrading from the FINDX to the FINDX Pro

The FINDX Pro keeps the 15 kHz frequency, the 0 to 99 target ID, the five sensitivity and volume levels, the 2.6 lb weight, the battery and the shaft. It adds IP68 waterproofing to 5 m (16 ft) for the whole detector, system box included, a fourth search mode for jewelry with four tones, the SX28 11 inch coil with the SX24 and SX35 coils as options, and a premium digger and 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) headphone adapter in the box. If you want to wade or hunt under water, or want a Jewelry mode for ring and chain hunting, we recommend the FINDX Pro.

Getting the Most from the FINDX

Park mode is designed for coins and jewelry in urban areas and parks, with three tones: low for iron IDs 01 to 14, medium for gold and non-ferrous IDs 15 to 41 and high for 42 to 99. Field mode is recommended for relic hunting, with a low tone for iron and a rising tone for non-ferrous targets as the coil nears them. Beach mode is built for conductive ground such as wet salty sand and notches out IDs 0 to 15 by default. Sensitivity has five levels and is preset for each mode, and each mode keeps its own setting. Use pinpoint to narrow a target before you dig, and pair the FINDX with a handheld pinpointer for faster recoveries.

Water, Weather and Batteries

The FX28 coil can go under water to 1 m (3.3 ft), so you can sweep wet sand and the shallows, but keep the system box out of the water, and note that the headphones in the box are not waterproof. After salt water, Nokta's manual asks you to wash the coil only, without chemicals, and to wipe the screen and shaft dry with a soft, nonscratch cloth. The built-in battery charges over USB from a charging adapter or a power bank with the FINDX USB cable. For longer days, Nokta lists its waterproof 5500 mAh lithium polymer battery with charger as a FINDX accessory.

Parts and Accessories That Fit the Nokta FINDX

The FINDX shares its shafts and arm cup with the other Nokta detectors on this platform, so the carbon fiber middle shaft, the longer middle shaft, the carbon fiber lower shaft and the extended 25.4 inch lower shaft, the armrest and the armrest strap in this collection fit the FINDX. The 11 inch SX28 coil cover is listed for the FINDX, and the Nokta USB charging cable, the nano glass screen protector 3-pack and the protective system box cover replace the parts that wear or go missing first. For audio, Nokta lists its 6.3 mm (1/4 inch) headphone adapter for the FINDX. For carrying, the Nokta universal carrying bag, the DetectoBag 38L backpack, the Nokta 4-piece treasure accessory kit and our padded carry bags hold the FINDX and its accessories.

Nokta FINDX vs. Nokta FINDX Pro Comparison

Both FINDX models run a single 15 kHz frequency on the same shaft and battery, with the same target ID, sensitivity and weight. They differ in waterproofing, search modes, the coil and what comes in the box.

Is the Nokta FINDX waterproof?

The Nokta FINDX is partly waterproof: its FX28 11 inch coil is waterproof to 1 m (3.3 ft), but on the FINDX only the search coil is waterproof, so the system box has to stay out of the water. The headphones in the FINDX box are not waterproof either. After salt water, Nokta's manual asks you to wash the coil only, without chemicals. For a detector you can submerge, the Nokta FINDX Pro is IP68 waterproof to 5 m (16 ft) as a whole detector.

Answered by Dan P. · October 2026

How long does the Nokta FINDX battery last?

The Nokta FINDX battery lasts about 12 hours per charge, according to Nokta, and less when you use the speaker, headphones and backlight a lot. The built-in 2300 mAh lithium battery charges in about 3 hours over USB from a charging adapter or a power bank. A replacement Nokta USB charging cable is in our FINDX parts collection.
