Drop recovery to 1, run Field mode, and the Double Score holds a clean threshold across uneven mineralization, with the SC30 12\" x 9\" coil giving wide coverage on every sweep. Manual ground balance lets us lock in a number for known soil and stop fighting auto adjustments on the swing edge, which matters on long passes through fields where the soil reads consistently for hours at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMode: Field\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 8 to 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGround Balance: Manual or Tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDiscrimination: All-metal with iron filter at 4 to 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMulti-IQ4 SMF and Why It Holds Target IDs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Double Score runs simultaneous multi-frequency detection centered at 15 kHz, processing several frequencies at once rather than one at a time. The benefit on the ground is target ID consistency: a Wheat penny at depth reads as a penny on dry sand, wet sand, and under inland mineralization, and a thin gold ring stays in its window instead of jumping into the iron range. The 60-segment target ID scale gives finer separation than the simplified maps on entry-level VLFs, and harmonic audio tones make it possible to pick out multiple targets in a single swing without looking at the screen.

Profile 1 holds a beach configuration, Profile 2 holds a park or relic configuration, and a single button press swaps between them at the next site.

It strikes a balance between coverage and small-target sensitivity, with enough footprint to cover ground efficiently in open terrain. For tighter target separation in dense iron, the smaller SC24 round coil swaps in via the standard Score Series mount and improves performance in trashy ghost towns and old foundations where target masking gets thick. Both coils are submersible to the same 16-foot rating as the control box, so a coil swap before a beach session does not give up any waterproofing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNokta Double Score Metal Detector Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Simultaneous Multi-Frequency (SMF), Multi-IQ4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi, 15 kHz center\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Frequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 100 Hz to 1200 Hz, adjustable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSearch Modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 (Park, Field, Beach)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget ID Scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 01 to 60\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 to 9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGround Balance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Automatic, Manual, Tracking\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecovery Speed:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 to 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUser Profiles:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSearch Coil:\u003c\/strong\u003e SC30 12\" x 9\" Waterproof DD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Custom LCD with backlight and LED flashlight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVibration Alert:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3250 mAh built-in lithium-polymer, USB charging\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery Life:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 12 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.7 lb (1.25 kg) with SC30 coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP68, fully submersible to 16 ft (5 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWireless Audio:\u003c\/strong\u003e Built-in module, compatible with Nokta Score Series wireless headphones (sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3-year Nokta manufacturer warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy from Serious Detecting\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSerious Detecting is an \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/customer-care__about-us\"\u003eauthorized Nokta dealer\u003c\/a\u003e, which keeps the full 3-year manufacturer warranty intact and gives you US-based support from a team that swings detectors every weekend.
