    The Nokta SP35 is a 13.5" x 12.5" elliptical Double D searchcoil built exclusively for the Nokta Makro Simplex+ metal detector, delivering significantly more ground coverage per swing than smaller coils while maintaining tight target separation in iron-contaminated sites. Simplex+ owners hunting large open fields, parks, and beaches reach for the SP35 when speed matters. The elliptical geometry covers more area without the weight penalty of a full round coil, and the DD configuration cuts through mineralized soil that would mask targets with a concentric design. The fully waterproof construction preserves the Simplex+ detector's submersible rating for surf hunting and stream wading.

    What's Included with the Nokta SP35 Coil

    • Nokta SP35 13.5" x 12.5" DD searchcoil with integrated cable
    • Coil mounting hardware for Simplex+ lower shaft attachment

    Why Simplex+ Owners Reach for the SP35

    • Increased ground coverage over smaller coils, reducing sweep count in open areas and letting you cover large sites more efficiently
    • Target separation holds in trashy parks because the DD field pattern rejects adjacent iron while locking onto coin-sized targets
    • Waterproof rating matches the Simplex+ detector's submersible spec, so you can hunt knee-deep surf and shallow creeks without worrying about seal failure
    • Weight stays manageable at under 1 pound, preventing the arm fatigue that plagues detectorists swinging oversized round coils for three-hour sessions
    • The elliptical shape fits between playground equipment, park benches, and fencelines where a larger round coil would snag or force awkward angles

    Wider Sweep Efficiency in Open Fields and Beaches

    The SP35's 13.5" x 12.5" footprint shines in environments where target density is low and you need to cover ground fast. We've run this coil on dry sand beaches where coins and rings are scattered across wide beach faces. The larger coil width means each pass overlaps less, and you can walk a straight grid pattern without worrying about gaps. The DD transmit-receive geometry provides enhanced depth on larger targets like silver dollars and jewelry in dry sand.

    In open fields and pastures, the SP35 lets you walk wider transect lines, reducing total detecting time in open areas. The coil's elliptical shape also maneuvers around fence posts and through tall grass more easily than a round coil of equivalent area.

    DD Configuration Performance in Mineralized Ground

    The SP35's Double D coil design transmits a blade-shaped electromagnetic field instead of the cone pattern a concentric coil produces. This blade pattern penetrates mineralized soil with less ground noise, which matters on Midwest red clay sites and volcanic black sand beaches where iron mineralization would cause a concentric coil to chatter. We've used the SP35 on iron-rich Civil War camp sites where smaller coils required constant ground balance adjustments. The DD field stayed stable, and target separation held even with rusty nails near valuable targets.

    The SP35 pairs well with the Simplex+ detector's automatic ground tracking, and you can run higher sensitivity settings without false signals. Understanding metal detector technologies like DD versus concentric field patterns helps you pick the right coil for your soil type.

    Which metal detectors is the SP35 coil compatible with?

    The SP35 13.5" x 12.5" coil is compatible exclusively with the Nokta Simplex+ metal detector. The coil is designed for Simplex+ compatibility and will not physically attach to other Nokta models like the Legend, Anfibio, or Impact. The integrated cable features a compatible connector that works only with the Simplex+ control box. This coil maintains the same waterproof rating as your Simplex+ detector and includes all necessary mounting hardware for secure attachment to the lower shaft.

    What software version does my metal detector need to run the Nokta SP35 coil?

    To use the Nokta SP35 DD coil, your Nokta Simplex+ metal detector must be updated to software version 2.76 or higher. If your machine is running older factory firmware, the detector will not recognize the new hardware. Updating your device is simple: connect your control box to a computer using your USB charging cable and download the latest update package directly from the official manufacturer portal before heading out into the field.

    Can I use the SP35 coil in saltwater and freshwater?

    The SP35 coil is fully waterproof and maintains the Nokta Simplex+ detector's submersible rating, so you can hunt in surf, shallow rivers, creeks, and freshwater lakes without risk of water intrusion. The waterproof construction allows you to use the coil in wet conditions with confidence, whether you're wading in freshwater streams or hunting along saltwater beaches. As a general best practice for any waterproof detector equipment, rinsing the coil and connector with fresh water after saltwater exposure helps maintain optimal performance and extends the life of electrical connections. The SP35's sealed design ensures reliable operation in all the wet hunting environments where the Simplex+ excels.

    Will this search coil fit the newer Simplex Lite, BT, or Ultra models?

    No, the Nokta SP35 searchcoil is engineered exclusively for the 1st Generation Nokta Simplex+ and Simplex+ WHP detectors. It features a specific pin configuration and internal calibration intended only for those legacy units. If you own a newer model from the Next Generation series, you will need to browse our specialized collection of Metal Detector Search Coils to find the compatible SX35 variant, which is tailored specifically for the Lite, BT, and Ultra control systems.

    Answered by John W. · May 2026

    How much deeper will the SP35 coil detect compared to the stock 11-inch coil?

    Because the SP35 expands your footprint to 13.5" x 12.5", it provides a significant boost in absolute target depth on medium-to-large objects like relics and deep coin caches. While exact depth varies based on soil mineralization and settings, field tests show a notable increase in clean signals on deep targets that standard 11-inch coils miss entirely. It also scales up your ground coverage, enabling you to sweep wide-open spaces like beaches and pastures far more efficiently.

    Answered by Richard T. · May 2026

    What mounting hardware comes with the SP35 and is installation difficult?

    The SP35 ships with all necessary mounting hardware, including the lower shaft bolt, washers, and lock nut required to attach the coil to your Simplex+ detector's lower shaft. Installation is straightforward: you remove the stock coil by loosening the existing bolt, slide the SP35's mounting bracket onto the lower shaft, align the holes, insert the new bolt, and tighten the lock nut until snug. The integrated cable routes up the shaft and connects to the Simplex+ control box. The cable features a coiled design to prevent snagging during use. If you've swapped a coil on any detector before, the process is identical and requires only basic hand tools.
