What is in the box with the Nokta LG30
Nokta's standard contents for the LG30 (Nokta part 17000176)
- Nokta LG30 12 x 9 inch (30 x 23 cm) waterproof DD search coil
- Coil cover
- Coil mounting hardware
Which detectors the LG30 fits
- Nokta Legend (The Legend, including the WHP and Pro Pack packages)
Nokta lists five coils for the original Legend: the LG15, LG24, LG28, LG30 and LG35. For the Nokta Legend 2, Nokta lists its LD series instead and does not list LG coils, so match the LG code when you order.
When to use the LG30
The LG30 is one of the five waterproof Double-D coils Nokta lists for the Legend: the 6 inch LG15, 9.5 x 6 inch LG24, 11 inch LG28, 12 x 9 inch LG30 and 13.5 x 12.5 inch LG35. Nokta ships the LG30 on the Legend WHP and the Legend Pro Pack, and it runs on all of the Legend's operating frequencies: Multi, 4, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz. Nokta rates the Legend IP68, fully submersible to 5 m (16 ft). The coil connects to the detector by its own cable, which plugs into the detector's coil connector.
Nokta fits the LG30 to the Legend WHP and Pro Pack, so it is the coil most Legend owners already know and the obvious replacement. Its 12 x 9 inch size is a good match for open fields and quieter parks; when iron gets dense, the LG24 or LG15 separates targets better. Check that you are ordering an LG coil, because the Legend 2 takes the LD series. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size and type trade coverage for separation.
