    The Nokta INV40 is a 15.5" x 14" Double-D search coil built exclusively for the Nokta Invenio detector, designed to cover more ground per sweep while maintaining target separation in trashy sites. Invenio owners working open fields, large parks, or beach zones need the INV40's expanded footprint to reduce passes and reach deeper targets. The waterproof construction handles surf, streams, and wet sand without concern, and the included protective cover extends coil life during rocky-ground relic hunts.

    What's Included with the Nokta INV40 Coil

    • Nokta INV40 15.5" x 14" DD search coil for Invenio detector
    • Protective coil cover
    • Mounting hardware

    Why Invenio Owners Reach for the INV40 Coil

    • Wider sweep coverage reduces the number of passes required to search open fields, saving time on large sites and increasing efficiency during all-day hunts.
    • Deeper target detection compared to smaller coils when working mineralized soil or hunting for large relics and caches in open ground.
    • Double-D coil configuration delivers superior ground balancing in mineralized environments, maintaining stable operation where concentric coils struggle.
    • Fully waterproof construction allows detecting in surf, shallow rivers, and wet fields without risk of damage to the coil electronics.
    • Protective cover prevents abrasion damage from rocks and roots during relic hunts, extending the coil's working life. Compare the INV40 against the larger INV56 22" x 19" DD coil when you need maximum depth and coverage.

    Expanded Ground Coverage in Open Relic Sites

    The INV40's 15.5" x 14" footprint is the middle ground between maneuverability and coverage. Invenio operators working open fields, pastures, or large park zones gain a measurable reduction in the number of passes required to cover a target area. The DD configuration maintains target separation even in iron-contaminated sites, so the coil doesn't sacrifice discrimination for size. We run the INV40 on farm sites and Civil War camps where the ground is relatively clean and the goal is efficient coverage without missing deep targets.

    Open Field and Pasture Relic Hunting

    The INV40 excels in open ground where you want to cover acreage efficiently. The larger coil footprint means fewer overlapping sweeps, and the DD design keeps the detector stable in mineralized soil common to agricultural land. Depth advantage over smaller coils becomes evident on deeper relics and coin caches. The waterproof rating supports wet-field detecting after rain, when targets are easier to recover from softened ground.

    • Best for: Open fields, pastures, large parks, beach zones where coverage speed matters and trash density is low to moderate.
    • Less ideal for: Tight-space detecting around foundations or dense brush where the larger coil size limits maneuverability.

    Beach and Shallow Water Detecting

    The INV40's waterproof construction and size make it a strong choice for wet-sand and shallow-water beach hunting. The DD coil handles saltwater mineralization better than concentric designs, and the larger footprint covers more beach per pass. We use the INV40 on Gulf Coast beaches where the goal is efficient coverage of the surf line and wet sand during low tide. The protective cover is critical in this environment, as shells and coral fragments abrade unprotected coils quickly.

    Which metal detectors is the INV40 coil compatible with?

    The INV40 coil is compatible exclusively with the Nokta Invenio metal detector. This 15.5" x 14" DD coil is engineered specifically for the Invenio's electronics and mounting system, and it will not fit other Nokta models or detectors from other manufacturers. The mounting hardware included with the INV40 ensures a secure fit on the Invenio's lower shaft, providing the proper alignment and stability needed for effective detecting. The coil's DD configuration works seamlessly with the Invenio's detection capabilities to deliver excellent depth and target separation in various hunting conditions. If you own a different Nokta detector model, check our full range of metal detector search coils for compatible options.

    Is the INV40 coil waterproof, and can I use it for underwater detecting?

    The INV40 coil is fully waterproof and submersible, which means you can use it for surf detecting, shallow river hunting, and wet-sand beach searches without risk of water damage. The coil is rated fully submersible, making it suitable for detecting in streams, along shorelines, and in wet fields after rain. The waterproof construction also simplifies cleaning after muddy or saltwater hunts. Keep in mind that while the coil itself is waterproof, you must ensure your Invenio control box and other components meet the depth rating for your intended detecting environment. The included protective cover helps maintain the coil's condition during regular use in challenging wet environments.

    How does the INV40 coil improve depth and coverage compared to smaller coils?

    The INV40 coil's 15.5" x 14" footprint provides wider ground coverage per sweep compared to smaller coils, which reduces the number of passes required to search a given area and increases efficiency during long detecting sessions. Larger coils detect deeper targets on larger objects such as relics, caches, and deep coins, making the INV40 particularly effective for open-field relic hunting and beach detecting where coverage speed and depth matter most. The Double-D configuration maintains target separation even at depth, so you're not sacrificing discrimination for size. This combination of wide coverage and DD design makes the INV40 ideal for efficiently searching large open areas while maintaining the ability to distinguish between targets in trashy conditions.

    What is included with the INV40 coil purchase?

    The INV40 coil purchase includes the 15.5" x 14" DD search coil itself, a protective coil cover to prevent abrasion damage from rocks and roots, and the mounting hardware required to attach the coil to your Nokta Invenio detector's lower shaft. The protective cover is especially valuable during relic hunts in rocky terrain or beach detecting where shells and coral can abrade the coil surface over time. All components are genuine Nokta parts designed for the Invenio system. The included mounting hardware ensures proper attachment and alignment on the Invenio's shaft, allowing you to start detecting immediately after installation.

    Answered by Richard T. · May 2026

    Can I use the INV40 coil in highly mineralized soil?

    The INV40 coil uses a Double-D (DD) configuration, which is specifically designed to handle mineralized soil better than concentric coils. The DD configuration handles mineralized soil well, providing superior ground balancing in iron-rich or saltwater-mineralized environments and maintaining stable operation while reducing false signals that can occur with other coil types. The DD design excels in areas with high mineral content, red clay, or black sand, making the INV40 a strong choice for challenging hunting conditions. Whether you're detecting on mineralized farm fields or saltwater beaches, the INV40's DD configuration delivers reliable performance.

    How much does the INV40 coil weigh, and will it cause arm fatigue?

    The INV40 coil's weight is not specified in the manufacturer's documentation. As a 15.5" x 14" coil, the INV40 is larger than smaller coils, which does increase the overall weight of your detector setup compared to more compact options. The wider 15.5" x 14" search area allows you to cover more ground with each sweep, which can improve efficiency when searching large open areas like parks, fields, and beaches. The coil's size makes it particularly well-suited for relic hunting and coin shooting in open spaces where maximum ground coverage and depth are priorities. The included protective cover adds minimal weight while providing valuable protection against rocks and abrasive surfaces during regular use.
