It runs a 15 kHz VLF circuit with four preset modes (Field, Park, Beach, Jewelry), a full 0-99 target ID scale, and ships ready to hunt with the SX28 11-inch DD coil, headphones, premium digger, and carry bag. It sits in the Nokta lineup as the entry waterproof machine below the Simplex Ultra, aimed at first-time buyers and detectorists wanting a true full-submersion backup at sub-$300.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat You Gain Coming from a Splash-Resistant or Sub-$200 VLF\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHunt surf, rivers, and piers without staging the control box, the system is sealed to 5 meters and the keypad stays readable underwater\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSwitch terrain in a single button press, the four preset modes pre-tune ground balance and discrimination for that environment without forcing you into a manual setup routine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRead a 0-99 target ID scale instead of guessing from a four-segment bar, this gives real coin and jewelry separation in trashy ground and lets you skip iron on tone alone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCharge over USB on a pocket power bank in the field, no disposable batteries to budget for and no spares to carry on long weekend trips\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSee the screen and keypad in low light, the backlit graphic LCD stays readable in dawn or dusk hunts where a non-lit display would wash out under direct sun or a wet visor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePinpoint targets cleanly with the dedicated pinpoint button, useful for closing in on small jewelry in dense matrix without false reads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStep-up shoppers comparing this to the next tier can review the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/nokta-simplex-series\"\u003eNokta Simplex Series\u003c\/a\u003e for advanced multi-mode features and wireless audio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSystem box (control unit) on adjustable aluminum and plastic shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWaterproof DD search coil 11 inch \/ 28 cm (SX28) with protective cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWired headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e6.3 mm (1\/4 inch) headphone adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePremium digger\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUSB charger and data cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarrying bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/11000876_001.jpg?v=1731618522\" alt=\"Nokta FINDX Pro waterproof metal detector with SX28 coil, headphones, premium digger, and carry bag\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eField Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSaltwater Beach and Surf Line\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost sub-$300 detectors throw false signals on wet sand or have to be lifted out of incoming waves. Beach mode pre-balances for salt mineralization across the front end, and IP68 submersion to 5 meters means we can chase a ring into the surf without tucking the box into a dry bag. The 11-inch DD coil sweeps coins from dry sand efficiently and reads small jewelry along the wet line where most action concentrates after a busy weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMode: Beach\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 3 of 5, rise to 4 once stable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIron Off: Off on cleaner shorelines, On at heavily nailed locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVolume: 3 to 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTrashy Parks and Yards\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlder parks reward a machine that gives target ID resolution without forcing manual ground balance. Park mode reduces hits on small iron while keeping low-conductivity jewelry signals open, and the 0-99 ID lets us pull silver dimes and copper pennies from pull-tab clutter on tone alone. Notch discrimination is reachable from the single-menu interface so we can drop unwanted segments without leaving the hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMode: Park\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 3 to 4\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIron Off: On for high-iron sites, Off for cleaner ground\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVolume: 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFreshwater Wading and River Hunts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the IP68 housing rated to 16 feet, we wade chest-deep in rivers, swimming holes, and lake shorelines without rigging covers or pulling batteries. The shaft retracts to 25 inches for better coil control underwater, and the backlit LCD reads through clear water down to typical wading depth.

Rather than burying setup inside a manual ground balance routine, the four preset modes pre-tune sensitivity and discrimination for that terrain type. Pinpoint, threshold (all-metal), iron off, notch discrimination, and 5-step sensitivity and volume controls are all reachable from the single-menu interface, with no scrolling through nested screens to change a setting mid-hunt.

The graphic mono LCD reads at arm's length with target ID, depth indicator, sensitivity, mode, and battery state on a single screen, no submenu scrolling needed during a sweep. Keypad backlight stays on with the display so we can change settings in low light or under a wet hood without fumbling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio runs through the included wired headphones via a 6.3 mm adapter, with a built-in speaker for above-water work.

We pair this kit with a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pinpointers\"\u003ewaterproof pinpointer\u003c\/a\u003e for clean target recovery at the hole, especially in sand or wet leaf litter where probes lose efficiency.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCoil Options\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe factory SX28 is a waterproof 11-inch DD coil sized for general hunting, wide enough to cover ground efficiently in parks and along beach lines, and narrow enough to maintain target separation in moderate trash. The DD configuration gives an even response across the coil footprint and rejects ground noise more cleanly than a concentric design at this price tier. Nokta has not published optional coil compatibility for this model at the time of writing, so we list only the included SX28 and will update this section if Nokta releases additional accessory coils.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\n  \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/nokta-findx-9.jpg?v=1777493970\" alt=\"Nokta FINDX Pro in field use with the SX28 11-inch DD coil over open ground\"\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eNokta FINDX Pro Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15 kHz VLF\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSearch modes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Field, Park, Beach, Jewelry\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget ID scale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0 to 99\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDiscrimination:\u003c\/strong\u003e Notch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5 levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePinpoint:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThreshold (all-metal):\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIron Off:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBacklight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Display and keypad\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSearch coil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Waterproof DD 11 inch \/ 28 cm (SX28) with cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShaft:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum and plastic, 25 inches collapsed to 52 inches extended\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graphic Mono LCD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBattery:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2300 mAh lithium, 0.84 Wh, USB rechargeable, approximately 12 hours runtime\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaterproof rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e IP68 fully submersible to 16 feet (5 meters)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Buy the Nokta FINDX Pro 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 shipping the FINDX Pro with the full factory 2-year warranty, and our team detects every machine we sell before it goes on the page.
