Nokta Metal Detectors
In short. Nokta build properly waterproof, properly supported machines and charge less than the names everyone knows. The range runs from £249.95 to £5,999.95. For most people the answer is the Simplex Ultra at £299.95 or The Legend at £799.95.
Nokta, previously trading as Nokta Makro, is a Turkish manufacturer that has spent the last decade building a reputation on two things. Their machines are submersible as standard rather than as an upgrade, and they keep issuing free firmware updates years after you buy. That matters more than any single specification on the box.
The Nokta Range at a Glance
Simplex ULTRA, £299.95The Simplex Ultra is the one we recommend most. Fully submersible, wireless headphones included, and simple enough to use properly on day one.
The Legend and Legend 2The Legend at £799.95 and
The Legend 2 at £999.95. Simultaneous multi frequency, which is what you want for mixed UK soil and wet sand.
Gold Kruzer, £599.95The Gold Kruzer runs at 61kHz for small gold in hot, mineralised ground. Specialist, and overkill for coin hunting.
Invenio Pro, £5,999.95The Invenio Pro is a detector and a ground imaging system together. It shows target shape and depth on screen before you dig.
Picking the Right Nokta
First proper machineSimplex Ultra. It does not have a beginner version and a real version, you simply get the whole machine for £299.95.
All round coin and relic workThe Legend. Multi frequency handles the awkward mix of iron rich soil and modern rubbish that makes up most British farmland.
Beach and in the waterAny of them, which is the point. Even the cheapest Nokta here, the
PulseDive Scuba at £249.95, is built to be submerged rather than kept dry.
Serious gold prospectingGold Kruzer for small nuggets, or step up to our
gold detector range for deep ground scanning.

Nokta Questions, Answered
Are Nokta metal detectors any good?
Yes, and they represent unusually good value. The thing that wins people over is not the specification but the firmware support. Machines bought four or five years ago have had free updates that added features, which almost nobody else in this industry does.
Where are Nokta metal detectors made?
In Turkey. The company designs and manufactures its own machines rather than rebadging, which is why the range changes faster than most.
What is the best Nokta metal detector?
For most British detectorists, The Legend. It is a simultaneous multi frequency machine at £799.95, which is well under what the equivalent costs elsewhere. If the budget will not stretch, the Simplex Ultra at £299.95 is the best value detector we sell at any price.
Is Nokta the same as Nokta Makro?
Yes. The company traded as Nokta Makro after a merger and has since gone back to plain Nokta. Older machines and manuals carry the Makro name, and parts and support are unaffected.
Which Nokta is best for beginners?
The Simplex Ultra. It has a genuinely simple set of preset modes, it is waterproof so you cannot ruin it by accident, and it comes with wireless headphones rather than selling them to you later.
Are Nokta detectors waterproof?
Every machine in this range is submersible, not just splash proof. The Simplex Ultra and The Legend are rated to three metres, which covers beach work, river edges and wading.
How do you charge a Nokta metal detector?
They use built in lithium batteries charged over USB, so a normal phone charger or a power bank works. A full charge gives most of the range around twenty hours, which is several sessions.
Who sells Nokta metal detectors in Britain?
We do, as a stocking dealer, and we hold the popular models rather than ordering them in. That means warranty work and spares go through a UK address rather than back to the manufacturer.
