{"product":{"id":10609940332828,"title":"Nokta Legend 2 SMF Waterproof Metal Detector with Dual Coil Bundle","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included with the Nokta Legend 2\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNokta Legend 2 control box and adjustable shaft system\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof DD search coil LD28 (11\") with coil cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaterproof DD search coil LD21 (8\" x 5.5\") with coil cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBluetooth aptX low-latency wireless headphones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB charging and data cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSimultaneous Multi-Frequency Performance in Mineralized Ground and Wet Salt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/Legend2_Side_Resize.png?v=1778005213\" alt=\"Black metal detector with segmented shaft, control box, and elliptical search coil on white background\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eParks and Lawns\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrban 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBeach and Saltwater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFarm Fields and Old Homesteads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/1464\/9628\/files\/Nokta_Legend_2_CB.png?v=1778004934\" alt=\"Nokta Legend 2 metal detector display screen showing 99 reading held in gloved hand outdoors\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGold-Bearing Country\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDual-Coil Hunting Strategy and Advanced Audio Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaximize 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.
