Nokta's NEW The Legend 2 Metal Detector

The Nokta Legend 2 isn't a cosmetic refresh — it's a ground-up rework of the original Legend. From the expanded 99-point Target ID and new FerroCheck™ ferrous meter to the dedicated Relic Mode and redesigned audio engine, every upgrade was built in direct response to what the detecting community asked for. We dug into the specs, reviewed the independent field tests, and pulled real feedback from the forums so you don't have to. If you want the full picture before you decide, this breakdown has everything you need. [Read: What's Actually Different — And What Real Detectorists Are Saying →]

THE LEGEND MADE HISTORY. THE LEGEND 2 IS BUILT TO FIND IT. NOKTA'S MOST ADVANCED MULTI-FREQUENCY DETECTOR — NOW IN STOCK AT KELLYCO.

Experienced detectorists know that some of the hardest sites to hunt hold the best finds. The Legend 2 was built with that in mind — sharper discrimination, longer runtime, and a new Relic mode purpose-built for iron-heavy ground.

The original Legend redefined what was possible at its price point. The Legend 2 takes that foundation and pushes it further in every direction: an expanded 99-point Target ID scale, a completely redesigned audio system with 7 harmonic tones, a 6,700 mAh battery that delivers 33% more runtime, and a lighter, more ergonomic build designed for the long days in the field that serious detectorists actually put in.

Whether you're running coins in a heavily hunted park, working iron-saturated relic sites, hunting a saltwater beach, or prospecting in mineralized gold fields — the Legend 2 has a dedicated mode for it and the SMF technology to back it up. Five single frequencies (4/10/15/20/40 kHz) plus six multi-frequency options (M1, M2, M3, MD, MW, M) give you the flexibility to match your machine to your conditions, not the other way around.

IP68 Waterproof Fully submersible up to 5 meters (16ft) and protected from total dust ingress. Hunt in the rain, clean it in a stream, take it into the surf — the Legend 2 is built for real field conditions.

99-Point Target ID Scale Expanded from 60 IDs on the original Legend. More resolution means finer separation between targets — especially critical in trashy parks, iron-heavy fields, and historic relic sites where the difference between a good signal and a pull tab matters.

Target ID in Pinpoint Mode A brand new feature on the Legend 2. Target IDs are now visible during pinpoint, giving you critical information right before you break ground. Fewer wasted holes. Better decisions.

New! Relic Mode The Legend 2 introduces a dedicated Relic mode purpose-built for iron-heavy, mineralized ground — replacing the previous Beast mode with a far more specialized and capable option for serious relic hunters. A brand-new capability, not just a renamed setting.

Redesigned Audio System 7 harmonic tones with fully adjustable frequencies. The original Legend offered basic tone breaks (1/2/4/6/60/P). The Legend 2 offers (1/2/3/4/6/99/P) with harmonic tones and user-adjustable tone frequencies across the audio spectrum (100Hz–1200Hz). For experienced detectorists who rely on audio as much as the screen, this upgrade alone is significant.

Advanced Discrimination Settings All Metal, Ferrous Off, Ground Effect Off, Custom (Notch Discrimination). FerroCheck helps you identify and ignore common iron junk — bottle caps, nails, and modern trash — so you can stay focused on the targets worth digging.

33% More Battery Life Battery chemistry upgraded from Lithium Polymer to Lithium Ion. 6,700 mAh (up from 5,050 mAh on the original Legend). More runtime with no mid-session recharge.

Lighter Build 2.6 lbs (down from 3.0 lbs). 0.4 lbs lighter might sound minor, but over a 6-hour hunt it's felt. Combined with a redesigned adjustable armrest and improved balance, this is a meaningful ergonomic improvement for the detectorists who actually spend full days in the field.

Expanded Frequency Shift / Noise Cancellation 19 channels (up from 13 on the original Legend). More channels means more flexibility to escape EMI interference from power lines, other detectors, and urban environments.

Wireless Firmware Updates The original Legend required a wired USB connection for updates. The Legend 2 supports wireless firmware updates directly from your phone or laptop — no cable required.

Bone Conduction Headphone Compatibility Brand new for the Legend 2. Bone conduction headphones keep ears open to ambient sound while detecting — ideal for hunting near roads, parks, or water, and a meaningful safety feature for solo hunters.

15 Custom User Profiles 3 custom profiles per mode, 15 total across all 5 modes. The Legend 2 restructures how profiles work compared to the original, giving each mode its own dedicated profile set. Dial in your settings for specific sites and conditions and save them — exactly what experienced detectorists who hunt multiple terrain types need.

Effortless Pinpoint No more holding the button — just engage pinpoint and your Target ID is right there. Faster recovery, cleaner workflow.

Recovery Speed Setting Enables you to detect smaller targets among trash by adjusting the speed of target response — essential for working dense, trashy sites.

Adjustable Threshold Set your threshold level and frequency in every mode for the precise audio feedback your hunting style demands.

Vibration The Legend 2 vibrates on target detection — ideal for hearing impaired users and for underwater use where audio feedback is limited.

Backlit LCD, Keypad Backlight & LED Flashlight The Legend 2 adds keypad backlighting (absent on the original) along with the existing screen backlight and LED flashlight. Early mornings, late evenings, and night hunts are fully covered.

Simultaneous Multi-Frequency (SMF) The same proven foundational technology that made the original Legend iconic. M1, M2, M3, MD, MW, M multi-frequency modes plus 5 single frequencies (4/10/15/20/40 kHz) — now with smarter software and more refinement behind it.
