The Nokta Legend price is £799.95 with free UK delivery. People search for it as the nokta legend, the nokta the legend and simply the legend metal detector, and all three are this machine. It is bought by detectorists who have outgrown a single frequency detector and want one that copes with ground that changes across a single field.

The Nokta The Legend is a professional simultaneous multi-frequency metal detector designed for versatile detecting across parks, fields, beaches and highly mineralised ground. With multiple operating frequencies, advanced discrimination, excellent waterproofing and a lightweight design, The Legend is suitable for both experienced detectorists and serious beginners.
The Legend combines multi-frequency technology with selectable single frequencies of 4 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kHz, 20 kHz and 40 kHz. This gives detectorists flexibility when searching for different types of targets and working in different ground conditions.
The Legend provides dedicated search modes for Park, Field, Beach, Gold Field and Beast, making it suitable for everything from general coin and relic hunting to beach detecting and gold prospecting. Its advanced discrimination and recovery speed settings help users separate desirable targets from iron and other unwanted objects in heavily littered areas.
With an IP68 waterproof rating, The Legend can be fully submerged to depths of up to 5 metres (16 ft). This makes it suitable for beach detecting, wet sand and underwater searching. Vibration detection also provides an alternative alert when detecting underwater.
The detector offers 01 to 60 Target ID, 60 audio tones, adjustable threshold, Notch Filter, automatic/manual/tracking ground balance, frequency shift and noise cancellation. These controls allow users to fine-tune the detector for different targets and ground conditions.
The Legend weighs approximately 1.3 kg including the search coil and has an adjustable length of 63 to 132 cm (25 to 52 inches). Its rechargeable 5050mAh lithium-polymer battery provides up to 20 hours of use, while the backlit LCD and built-in LED flashlight are useful for low-light detecting.
The full range sits on our Nokta metal detectors page.
If this is your first detector and you are not sure the hobby will stick, the Simplex ULTRA at £299.95 finds the same targets in ordinary ground and costs less than half. Plenty of people buy the Legend as their second machine and that is a sensible order to do it in.
If you only ever prospect for small gold in mineralised soil, the Gold Kruzer at 61kHz is the more specialised tool. The Legend has a Gold Field mode, but a dedicated high frequency machine is sharper on tiny targets.
If what you actually want is to see the shape and depth of something before you dig, no coil detector does that. That is the Invenio Pro, and it is a different class of money.
£799.95. We say on our Nokta page that this is the machine most British detectorists should buy if the budget reaches it, because simultaneous multi frequency at this price is genuinely hard to match.
It transmits several frequencies at once rather than one, so the detector reads the ground and the target from multiple angles simultaneously. In mixed British soil, where conditions change across a single field, that is what keeps it stable.
Yes, 4kHz, 10kHz, 15kHz, 20kHz or 40kHz. The low end suits large silver and deep targets, the high end small gold. Having both options on one machine is the point of it.
Park, Field, Beach, Gold Field and Beast. Beast is the aggressive setting for maximum depth, Gold Field for prospecting, and Beach for wet salt sand. Most owners work in Field and Park.
IP68 rated and submersible to 5 metres, 16 feet, with vibration detection as an alternative alert when you cannot hear the audio underwater. That is genuine submersion, not splash resistance.
01 to 60 Target ID with 60 audio tones, an adjustable threshold, a notch filter, frequency shift and noise cancellation, plus automatic, manual and tracking ground balance. There is more adjustment here than most people will ever need, which is the right way round.
The Simplex ULTRA at £299.95 is the best value machine we sell and runs a single 15kHz frequency. The Legend adds simultaneous multi frequency, selectable frequencies and finer target ID. If you work difficult or varied ground, the difference is real.
Up to 20 hours, with Bluetooth for wireless headphones and pinpointing built in. A separate handheld pinpointer at £49.95 is still faster once the hole is open.
It is usable by a beginner, but it is not the cheapest way to start. The menu has more adjustment than a first timer needs. If you are certain about the hobby it is a machine you will not outgrow. If you are testing the water, start with the Simplex ULTRA.
The Legend 2 at £999.95 adds 01 to 99 target ID, a Relic mode, FerroCheck, 15 user profiles and a bigger battery. The frequencies are the same. On iron heavy ground the finer ID and FerroCheck earn the extra £200. On clean pasture the original Legend finds the same things.
It ships with a waterproof DD coil as standard. Nokta make alternative coils for it, and a smaller coil helps in heavy iron while a larger one covers ground faster.
No, it has a speaker. Bluetooth is built in for wireless headphones, which most people prefer on a windy beach, and vibration detection covers you underwater where audio is no use.
The honest answer depends on your ground. On easy, clean soil a £300 detector finds most of what a £800 one does. On wet salt sand, mineralised soil, or a site full of nails, simultaneous multi frequency and the finer target ID are where the money goes.
