Nokta Legend 2 SMF Waterproof Metal Detector with Dual Coil Bundle

The Nokta Legend 2 is a simultaneous multi-frequency (SMF) metal detector engineered for detectorists demanding measurable performance gains in mineralized soil, saltwater beaches, and high-trash relic sites. Lighter by 13% than the original Legend platform and equipped with an expanded 99-segment target ID, it pulls deep targets from iron-loaded ground where single-frequency VLFs lose lock. This dual-coil bundle ships with an 11" LD28 DD coil for open-field depth and an 8" x 5.5" LD21 DD coil for tight separation in trashy parks, giving you tactical flexibility without purchasing a second coil later. Nokta built the Legend 2 with advanced ground-masking handling, enhanced 19-channel EMI noise reduction, and a 6700 mAh lithium-ion battery that delivers up to 33% longer runtime than the original Legend.

What's Included with the Nokta Legend 2

• Nokta Legend 2 control box and adjustable shaft system
• Waterproof DD search coil LD28 (11") with coil cover
• Waterproof DD search coil LD21 (8" x 5.5") with coil cover
• Bluetooth aptX low-latency wireless headphones
• USB charging and data cable

Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Wet Salt

The Legend 2 transmits across 4, 10, 15, 20, and 40 kHz simultaneously in its six multi-frequency modes (M1, M2, M3, MD, MW, M), holding target ID through conditions that force single-frequency detectors to ground-balance repeatedly or lose depth. Our team runs the M1 general mode across dry sand and plowed farmland for stable all-around detection, switches to M2 when hunting high-conductivity silver in iron-heavy cellar holes, and uses M3 for low-conductivity small gold in mineralized desert washes. The 99-segment target ID scale gives finer resolution than the original Legend's 60 segments, so you can distinguish a clad dime at 97 from a silver dime at 94 or a gold ring at 12 from a pull tab at 18 without digging every mid-conductor.

Parks and Lawns

Urban parks with decades of clad coins, aluminum trash, and ferrous bottle caps demand fast recovery speed and tight target separation. The compact 8" x 5.5" LD21 DD coil isolates a dime lying two inches from a rusty nail, while the Legend 2's adjustable recovery speed setting lets you slow the response for deeper targets in clean zones or accelerate it when working around playground equipment and picnic table footings. FerroCheck continuously computes a ferrous probability index beside your primary target ID, exposing masked iron before you dig.

Beach and Saltwater

Wet saltwater sand shifts mineralization with every tide, a condition that causes single-frequency detectors to false or lose depth as you move from dry sand to the surf line. The Legend 2's simultaneous multi-frequency transmission stabilizes target ID across the entire beach profile. IP68 waterproofing to 16 feet (5 meters) means you can wade into knee-deep surf, rinse the coil and control box under a faucet after a saltwater hunt, and detect through rain without worry. The included Bluetooth aptX low-latency headphones support bone-conduction models, keeping your ears open to wave timing and ambient noise while you hunt the trough.

Farm Fields and Old Homesteads

Iron-rich plowed fields and colonial-era homestead sites bury high-value relics under layers of square nails, horseshoes, and plow debris. The Legend 2's dedicated Relic mode applies aggressive iron masking to separate a large cent or colonial button from adjacent ferrous trash. The 11" LD28 DD coil reaches 12 to 14 inches on coin-sized targets in moderate soil, giving you an edge over smaller coils when covering open acreage. Ground balance options (Automatic, Manual, Tracking) handle hot rocks and changing mineralization as you move from pasture to woods without stopping to retune.

Gold-Bearing Country

Small gold nuggets in ironstone or mineralized desert soil require a detector that can hold target ID through hot ground without masking faint low-conductor signals. The Legend 2's Gold mode runs optimized multi-frequency processing for sub-gram nuggets, and the 40 kHz single-frequency option gives maximum sensitivity to tiny targets when ground conditions allow. The M3 multi-frequency mode biases toward low and mid-conductors, pulling small gold that a high-frequency-only detector would catch but a general multi-frequency mode might average out.

Dual-Coil Hunting Strategy and Advanced Audio Control

Maximize area coverage and depth with the standard 11" LD28 DD coil across open fields, pastures, and dry beach sand. When moving into tight playground equipment, brick scatters, or trash-heavy tot lots, swap to the compact 8" x 5.5" LD21 DD coil for hyper-focused separation between good targets and adjacent iron trash. Both coils are waterproof and ship with protective covers. The Legend 2 supports seven harmonic tone options, including pitch audio and a broad 99-tone proportional scale, adjustable anywhere from 100 Hz to 1,200 Hz. Built-in Bluetooth connects the included low-latency aptX headphones and supports bone-conduction models, keeping your ears clear to ambient surroundings in active public parks or crashing ocean surf. For detectorists exploring the technologies behind modern detectors, simultaneous multi-frequency represents a measurable step beyond single-frequency VLF in challenging ground.

15 Deep-Saving Profiles and Wireless Firmware Updates

Program up to three entirely independent user configurations for each of the five dedicated search presets (Park, Field, Beach, Relic, Gold) to seamlessly preserve specialized discrimination patterns, recovery speeds, threshold baselines, and ground tracking matrices across your permissions. Each mode includes a factory default plus three user profiles, for 15 total customizable setups. The Legend 2 introduces wireless firmware update capability, so you can push software improvements from your phone or laptop without connecting a USB cable. The larger backlit LCD, keypad backlight, and integrated LED flashlight support night hunting and low-light cellar work.

Lightweight Ergonomics for Long Field Sessions

• 13% weight reduction over the original Legend: at 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg), the Legend 2 reduces wrist fatigue during four-hour park hunts or all-day relic permissions, letting you cover more ground without strain.
• 33% longer battery runtime: the upgraded 6700 mAh lithium-ion battery extends hunt time from the original Legend's 5050 mAh pack, giving you a full day in the field on a single charge even with Bluetooth headphones active.
• Fold-flat coil design: the adjustable shaft collapses and the coil folds for compact transport in a vehicle trunk or checked luggage, a feature detectorists who travel to hunt permissions or vacation beaches will use repeatedly.
• Live target ID in pinpoint mode: the Legend 2 displays the target ID on-screen during pinpoint, eliminating the guesswork of audio-only pinpointing and saving active digging time when you've isolated a target.
• Enhanced EMI handling: 19 frequency-shift channels (up from the original Legend's 13) let you clear interference from power lines, electric fences, and other detectors operating nearby, critical for group hunts and urban parks.
