Nokta LG35 13.5x12.5" DD Waterproof Coil for Legend Metal Detector

The LG35 coil is compatible exclusively with the Nokta Legend metal detector. This coil is designed for Legend compatibility and integrates with the detector's multi-frequency platform. It will not fit Simplex models, Makro detectors, or other Nokta series. The coil installs directly onto the Legend's lower rod using the included mounting hardware.

The larger coil size is designed to provide increased depth on targets in open ground compared to the stock LG30. The 13.5 x 12.5 inch footprint allows you to cover more ground efficiently while maintaining excellent target separation and depth capabilities on coin-sized and larger targets. The wider sweep coverage reduces the number of overlapping passes required to search large sites. The LG30 remains the better choice for trashy parks where target separation matters more than raw depth.

The LG35 is fully waterproof and matches the Legend's submersible rating for wet-sand and shallow-water detecting. The sealed coil housing and connector handle wave splash, rain, and stream crossings. Rinse the coil and cable with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion on the connector pins. The included coil cover protects against sand abrasion and rock impacts during transport and detecting.

The larger 13.5 x 12.5 inch coil size increases the overall weight at the lower rod compared to smaller coils. Detectorists with shoulder or elbow issues may experience faster fatigue during long sessions. A hip-mount battery relocation or counterweight on the rear handle can help improve comfort. The wider footprint also requires more lateral clearance when swinging near brush or obstacles. Test your swing arc before committing to a full hunt to ensure comfortable operation.

The LG35 excels in open sites with low to moderate trash density where depth and coverage drive efficiency. Farm fields, historical battlegrounds, wide beaches, and desert prospecting areas benefit from the larger footprint. The DD configuration maintains stable ground balance on mineralized red clay, black sand, and iron-rich soils that destabilize concentric coils. Skip the LG35 in dense iron-trash environments like old home foundations or urban parks where the stock LG30 or compact LG24 deliver better target separation.

The LG35 is designed to work with the Legend's detection capabilities across its various operating modes. The coil integrates seamlessly with the detector's advanced multi-frequency technology for consistent performance. Sensitivity and discrimination settings adjust the same way they do with the stock coil. Start at your usual settings and fine-tune based on ground conditions and the specific targets you're hunting.

The larger coil size is optimized for depth and coverage on coin-sized and larger targets. Detectorists hunting sub-gram gold chains, tiny earring studs, or fine jewelry will see better results with compact coils like the LG24, which concentrate the detection field for sharper response on low-conductors. The LG35 handles larger gold rings, bracelets, and coins efficiently. For dedicated gold prospecting on nuggets and flakes, explore our Nokta metal detectors lineup for models optimized for high-frequency gold hunting.

The LG35 package includes the 13.5x12.5-inch DD search coil, a protective coil cover that guards against wear and impact damage, and the mounting hardware required to install the coil on your Legend's lower rod. The coil cover protects the coil during detecting to prevent scratches from rocks and abrasive sand. All necessary components for installation are included in the package, making it ready to mount on your Legend detector.

Loosen the coil bolt on your Legend's lower rod, slide off the current coil, and align the LG35's mounting ears with the rod bracket. Insert the bolt through both ears and the bracket, then hand-tighten until snug. Route the coil cable along the lower and middle rods, securing it with the existing Velcro straps to prevent snagging. Plug the coil connector into the detector's control box until it clicks. The installation is straightforward with the included mounting hardware.

The LG35's DD configuration excels on mineralized ground where concentric coils generate false signals and unstable target ID. Red clay, black sand, and iron-rich agricultural soils benefit from the DD's narrower detection pattern, which rejects broad ground signals while maintaining sensitivity to discrete metal targets. Run an auto ground balance when switching sites or if you notice chattering. Manual ground-balance adjustments let you fine-tune for extreme mineralization.

The LG35 works for coin shooting in open parks with sparse trash, but the stock LG30 or compact LG24 deliver better results in typical urban park environments where aluminum pull-tabs, foil, and bottle caps cluster around benches and play areas. The LG35's wider footprint sweeps over multiple targets simultaneously, making it harder to isolate individual coins from adjacent trash. Reserve the LG35 for large open fields, fairgrounds, and low-trash sites where depth and coverage matter more than target separation.
