Is the Nokta Double Score good for beginners?

Yes. It is designed to run without presets or complex menus: power it on and hunt. The three modes and 60 target IDs still give you settings to learn as you go.

Can it be used in water?

Yes. It is IP68 rated and submersible to 5 meters (16 feet), so it works in rain, mud, shallow water and salt water.

What is simultaneous multi-frequency and why does it matter?

The detector transmits multiple frequencies at once instead of one at a time. That helps it hold stable target IDs in wet sand and salt water and on mixed ground.

What comes in the box?

The Double Score detector, the waterproof 12 x 9-inch SC30 coil with cover installed, a USB charging and data cable, and a 3-year warranty.

Does it have a headphone jack or vibration alert?

It has vibration on target detection, which suits hearing-impaired users and underwater or low-light hunting. Headphones are not included.

How does it compare with the Nokta Simplex?

The Double Score adds simultaneous multi-frequency and a waterproof 12 x 9-inch coil. The Simplex line is single-frequency and simpler; the Double Score gives more frequency flexibility for beach and saltwater work.

About the Nokta Double Score Waterproof Metal Detector

The Nokta Double Score is a waterproof metal detector that uses simultaneous multi-frequency (SMF) technology. It is rated IP68, so it can be fully submerged up to 5 meters (16 ft) and is protected from total dust ingress. It can be used on wet sand and in salt water.

It has no presets or complicated menus. It has 3 search modes: Park, Field and Beach. Auto noise cancellation reduces electromagnetic interference. It shows 60 target IDs with harmonic tones and adjustable audio frequencies. It also vibrates when it detects a target, which helps users with hearing loss and works underwater or in low light.

A backlit LCD and an LED flashlight keep the display and search area visible in low light. The detector weighs 1.25 kg (2.7 lbs) including the coil. It charges over USB from a charger or power bank and runs up to 12 hours per charge. Firmware updates are available online via USB.
