Description
The Nokta Gold Kruzer price is £599.95 with free UK delivery. People also search for it simply as the gold kruzer metal detector or the kruzer metal detector. It is a specialist: a 61kHz high frequency gold detector rather than a general purpose machine, and that single fact decides whether it is right for you.

Nokta Gold Kruzer in Full Detail
The Nokta Gold Kruzer is a high-frequency gold metal detector designed specifically for gold prospecting and detecting small gold nuggets and micro jewellery. Operating at 61 kHz, it provides high sensitivity to tiny gold targets while offering strong performance in harsh ground conditions and areas affected by hot rocks.
61 kHz High-Frequency Detection
The Gold Kruzer’s 61 kHz operating frequency is designed to provide enhanced sensitivity to small gold nuggets and fine targets. This makes it particularly suited to gold prospecting and micro-jewellery detection where sensitivity to small targets is important.
Four Search Modes
The detector provides four search modes: Gen (All Metal), Fast, Boost and Micro. These modes allow users to adjust their detecting approach for different gold prospecting situations and target sizes.
Extra Underground Depth (E.U.D.)
The Gold Kruzer features E.U.D. (Extra Underground Depth) technology, designed to help detect small gold nuggets that may be masked by hot rocks or located at fringe depths.
Waterproof Gold Detector
With an IP68 rating, the Gold Kruzer is fully submersible to 5 metres (16.4 ft). This makes it suitable for gold prospecting in wet environments and underwater detecting. Note that the included 2.4 GHz wireless headphones are not waterproof and cannot be used underwater.
Lightweight Design & Long Battery Life
Weighing just 1.4 kg including the search coil and batteries, the Gold Kruzer is designed for extended detecting sessions. Its built-in 3700mAh Lithium Polymer battery provides up to 19 hours of use, while the adjustable shaft extends from 111 to 135.5 cm.

Who Should Not Buy One
If you are mainly after coins and relics on British permissions, this is the wrong machine. A fixed 61kHz frequency is sensitive to small gold but less suited to larger silver and deep coin targets. The Nokta Legend or the Simplex ULTRA are the sensible choices there.
If you are hoping for natural gold nuggets in the UK, be realistic. British gold is mostly fine, scarce and in specific places, and you need permission. This machine earns its keep abroad, on known goldfields, and on micro jewellery at home.
If you want one detector to do everything, buy a general purpose machine and add this later. Most Gold Kruzer owners have a second detector.

Nokta Gold Kruzer Questions, Answered
How much is the Nokta Gold Kruzer?
£599.95. It is a specialist rather than an all rounder, so the comparison that matters is against other gold machines, not against the Legend at £799.95.
Why 61kHz?
Because small gold is a very small target, and sensitivity to small targets rises with frequency. At 61kHz this machine hears nuggets and micro jewellery that a 15kHz detector walks straight over. The trade is less depth on large deep objects.
What is E.U.D.?
Extra Underground Depth. It is designed to find small gold that is masked by hot rocks or sitting at fringe depth, which is precisely where high frequency machines normally lose targets. On mineralised ground it is the feature that justifies the price.
What are the four search modes?
Gen, which is all metal, plus Fast, Boost and Micro. Micro is for the smallest targets and Boost for depth. Most prospectors work in Micro and switch to Boost when they want to check whether a faint signal is deeper than it sounds.
Is it waterproof?
IP68 and submersible to 5 metres, 16.4 feet, so it suits wet ground and underwater gold work. One caveat worth knowing: the included 2.4GHz wireless headphones are not waterproof and cannot be used underwater.
Is it any use for coins and relics?
It will find them, but you are using a specialist at the wrong job. For general coin and relic work in British soil the Simplex ULTRA at £299.95 or the Legend will give you better target identification and more depth on larger finds.
How heavy is it and how long does it last?
1.4kg including the search coil and batteries, with up to 19 hours of use. Prospecting sessions tend to be long and slow, so both figures matter more here than on a coin machine.
Is it right for British gold prospecting?
It is the correct type of machine for it, though Britain is not generous ground for natural gold. Welsh and Scottish rivers are the realistic targets. See our gold detectors page for the wider picture.
Is the Nokta Gold Kruzer worth it in the UK?
Honestly, it depends what you are hunting. For natural gold the UK is hard ground and the opportunities are limited and permission dependent. For micro jewellery, thin chains and small earrings on beaches and parks, 61kHz finds things other detectors walk straight over.
Can I use the Gold Kruzer for coins and relics?
You can, and Gen mode is the one to use, but it is not what the machine is optimised for. If coins and relics are the majority of your detecting, buy for that and treat gold as the specialism.
What is the difference between the four modes?
Gen is the general all round setting, Fast gives quicker recovery in trashy ground, Boost pushes for depth, and Micro is tuned specifically for the smallest targets. Micro is the reason people buy this detector.
Does it come with everything I need?
Two coils and wireless headphones are included, which is unusual at this price. You will still want a decent digging tool and a pinpointer.
Gold Kruzer or a 3D ground scanner for gold?
Different jobs entirely. This finds small gold at coil depth. A scanner like the Groundtech GR-4 shows you ground anomalies metres down and does not identify what they are. Most serious prospectors end up with both.
