    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.

    Which metal detectors is the Nokta LG30 coil compatible with?

    The Nokta LG30 12x9-inch coil is compatible exclusively with the Nokta Legend metal detector. It installs directly on the Legend's lower rod using the included mounting hardware. The coil integrates seamlessly with the Legend's multi-frequency platform and maintains the detector's renowned discrimination capabilities across all hunting environments. If you're running a different detector, browse our metal detector search coils: dd, concentric, monoloop & sef upgrades collection to find coils matched to your model.

    Answered by Richard T. · May 2026

    What is the actual size of the LG30 coil?

    The LG30 coil measures 12 inches by 9 inches in an elliptical footprint. The 12-inch dimension is the length along the coil's major axis, and the 9-inch dimension is the width across the minor axis. This elliptical shape provides wider ground coverage than the compact 6-inch round LG15 or the 9.5x6-inch LG24 while maintaining better maneuverability than the oversized 13.5x12.5-inch LG35. Our metal detector coil guide explains how coil size changes depth, coverage and target separation.

    Answered by Richard T. · May 2026

    Is the LG30 coil fully waterproof?

    The LG30 coil is fully waterproof and submersible for beach, stream, and shallow water detecting. You can use it in shallow surf zones, tidal pools, streams, and wet sand without risk of water damage. The waterproof construction ensures reliable performance in wet conditions, from morning dew to shallow water detecting. The included protective coil cover guards the coil housing against abrasive sand and rocks during beach hunts. Your working depth is set by the detector, and the Nokta Legend is rated submersible to 16 ft (5 m).

    Answered by Dan P. · May 2026

    What comes in the box with the LG30 coil?

    The LG30 package includes the 12x9-inch DD waterproof search coil, a protective coil cover to prevent wear during use, and mounting hardware for installation on the Legend lower rod. The durable protective cover shields the coil housing from scratches and impacts when dragging across rocks or hard-packed ground. The complete kit ensures quick, reliable installation and protection during use across all detecting environments. Replacement coil covers and other Legend parts are in our Nokta Legend collection.

    Answered by Richard T. · May 2026

    How does the LG30 compare to the stock coil that comes with the Legend?

    The LG30 is the stock coil on the Nokta Legend WHP and Legend Pro Pack, so if you bought one of those packages, you already own it. Detectorists can upgrade to the larger 13.5x12.5-inch LG35 for deeper detection on open sites or downsize to the 6-inch LG15 or 9.5x6-inch LG24 for trashy parks. The Nokta Legend WHP and Pro Pack ship with the LG30 as the all-purpose coil engineered for dependable, all-around performance.

    Answered by Dan P. · May 2026

    What hunting conditions favor the LG30 over the smaller or larger Legend coils?

    The LG30 excels on open fields, beaches, and parks with moderate trash density where you need balanced ground coverage and target separation. Choose the smaller 6-inch LG15 or 9.5x6-inch LG24 for iron-heavy sites like old home foundations or playground equipment clusters where the LG30's footprint masks individual targets. Choose the larger 13.5x12.5-inch LG35 for expansive farm fields or battlegrounds where maximum depth and sweep efficiency matter more than maneuverability. The LG30 is the all-purpose middle option. See how the LG30 compares with other brands' coils in our metal detector search coils collection.

    Answered by John W. · May 2026

    Does the LG30 require any settings changes on the Legend detector?

    The LG30 coil features plug-and-play compatibility with your Legend detector's existing factory settings and hunting programs. Simply mount the coil securely using the provided hardware, connect the cable, and power on your machine to begin treasure hunting. Its advanced Double-D configuration inherently excels at stabilizing target IDs and filtering out ground mineralization without requiring specialized calibration profiles.
