Description
Detection Depth up to 3 Metres
The OKM Pulse Nova provides detection depths of up to 3 metres (10 feet) depending on soil conditions and object size.
With interchangeable search coils, you can optimise your scanning based on your target:
- 38 cm coil for deeper detection and wider area scanning
- 18 cm coil for precision searches
- Optional frame coil for larger underground targets
If you’re serious about deep metal detecting without stepping into ultra-high-budget 3D systems, this is a smart investment.
Why Choose a Pulse Induction Metal Detector?
Pulse induction metal detectors are preferred by professionals because they:
- Handle mineralised ground better than standard detectors
- Offer deeper detection capability
- Provide stable performance in tough environments
- Work effectively in shallow water
The waterproof search coils make this model perfect for gold prospecting near streams, rivers, and wet ground.
Simple Operation – No Complex Settings
The OKM Pulse Nova is designed as an analog metal detector, meaning:
- No complicated digital menus
- Easy acoustic feedback
- Quick setup

OKM Pulse Nova Questions, Answered
How much is the OKM Pulse Nova?
£2,390. It is the most affordable OKM instrument we stock by a wide margin, with the rest of the OKM range running from £6,980 upwards.
How deep does it detect?
Up to 3 metres, around 10 feet, depending on soil and target size. Coil choice changes that: the 38cm coil gives more depth and wider coverage, the 18cm is for precision work, and an optional frame coil suits larger buried targets.
Why choose pulse induction over a normal detector?
It handles mineralised ground far better, reaches deeper, stays stable in rocky and salt water environments, and works in dense vegetation and shallow water. What you give up is target identification, so expect to dig more iron.
Is it difficult to learn?
No, and that is unusual at this level. It is an analogue instrument: acoustic feedback, no digital menus and a quick setup. If you have used a basic detector you will be working with this within an hour.
Can I use it in water?
The search coils are waterproof, which makes it genuinely useful near streams, rivers and wet ground. The control unit is rated IP40, so keep that dry. It is not a submersible instrument.
How long does it run and how heavy is it?
About 8 hours from a full charge, with roughly 3 hours to recharge at 19V. The control unit is 0.64kg and measures 180 by 115 by 70 millimetres, which makes it one of the lightest professional instruments we sell.
What is it designed to find?
Natural gold nuggets, coins, jewellery, military relics and buried metal objects. OKM built it for natural gold prospection, military archaeology and industrial metal detection rather than for garden use.
Does it work in cold or hot conditions?
The operating range is 0 to 40 degrees Celsius, so British winters at the colder end and most overseas fieldwork are both within spec. Store it dry, because the control unit is not weather sealed.
