Description
The Nokta Impact PRO is a versatile multi-frequency metal detector designed for serious detectorists looking for strong depth, advanced discrimination and flexible operation across different terrains. Operating at 5 kHz, 14 kHz and 20 kHz, the Impact combines multiple detection frequencies in one robust detector for searching for coins, relics and deeper buried treasures.
Multi-Frequency Detection
The Nokta Impact operates across 5 kHz, 14 kHz and 20 kHz, allowing users to select the frequency that best suits their detecting requirements. This makes it a versatile choice for general metal detecting, relic hunting and searches where different target types and ground conditions need different settings.
12 Search Modes
The Impact provides 12 search modes, including non-motion, All Metal and discrimination modes. These settings give detectorists greater flexibility when searching for coins, relics and deeper targets in locations such as fields, parks and wet beach sand.
Advanced Discrimination & Target Identification
With 00–99 Target ID, Iron Volume, Tone Break and Notch Filter, the Impact provides detailed target analysis and discrimination. Automatic, manual and tracking ground balance helps users adapt the detector to changing ground conditions.
Practical Features
The Impact includes Pinpoint, Frequency Shift, Vibration, adjustable gain from 01–99, an LCD backlight and built-in LED flashlight. It also supports online firmware updates through USB, helping users keep the detector software updated.

Nokta Impact PRO Questions, Answered
How much is the Nokta Impact PRO?
£799.95, the same as The Legend. The two are genuinely different machines at the same money, so the choice is worth thinking about rather than defaulting to the newer one.
Impact PRO or The Legend, which should I buy?
The Legend runs simultaneous multi frequency. The Impact runs three selectable frequencies at 5, 14 and 20kHz but offers 12 search modes against the Legend’s five. If you want maximum adjustability take the Impact. If you want the ground handled for you, take the Legend.
Why would I want 12 search modes?
Because they include non motion, All Metal and several discrimination modes. Non motion in particular is unusual on a machine at this price, and it is what lets you assess a single deep target properly rather than only sweeping.
What are the three frequencies for?
5kHz suits large and deep silver, 14kHz is the general purpose choice, and 20kHz lifts sensitivity to smaller targets and gold. Choosing per site rather than per sweep is the working method.
What target information does it give?
00 to 99 Target ID, with Iron Volume, Tone Break and a Notch Filter, plus automatic, manual and tracking ground balance. Iron Volume in particular is worth learning: turning iron down rather than off keeps you aware of it without being deafened.
What is adjustable gain?
Gain runs 01 to 99 and controls amplification. More gain finds deeper targets and more noise. Backing it off on a hot site is often what makes faint deep signals audible, which sounds backwards until you try it.
What practical features does it have?
Pinpoint, Frequency Shift to escape electrical interference, vibration, an LCD backlight and a built in LED flashlight, with a waterproof DD search coil and USB firmware updates.
Is it suitable for the beach?
It handles wet beach sand among its modes, and the coil is waterproof. For genuine submersion look at the IP68 rated Nokta machines on our Nokta page.
