How it differs from its neighbors

For modes, Nokta's comparison chart lists five modes, Park, Field, Beach, Gold and Beast, and its spec block four. Beast came with a software update.

The Legend 2 keeps the same 4, 10, 15, 20 and 40 kHz and the same rating. It is lighter, at 2.6 lb, lists a Relic mode in its spec block and moves to a 6700 mAh lithium-ion cell. Nokta gives no hours for it, only up to 33% more runtime than the Legend.

Its target ID scale also widens, to 99 against 60 on the Legend. Nokta lists Bluetooth aptX Low Latency headphones for both.

Against Minelab, the Equinox 900 shares the IP68 rating to 16 ft and weighs 2.8 lb. Minelab's tech specs page gives no battery life for it; Nokta lists up to 20 hours for the Legend.

Questions about the Legend

Answered from Nokta's product page, read Oct. 16, 2026.

Yes. Nokta rates it IP68, submersible to 16 ft (5 m). Nokta gives the supplied Bluetooth headphones no water rating, so keep them dry; it sells separate waterproof headphones.

Up to 20 hours, on a 5050 mAh lithium polymer battery, and a spare comes in the box.

Same five frequencies and same water rating. The Legend 2 weighs 2.6 lb against 3 lb and has a larger battery and a Relic mode in its spec block. Its coils differ too: the 11-inch LD28 and 8 x 5.5-inch LD21.
