Nokta LD38 15 in x 12 in DD Waterproof Search Coil for the Nokta Legend 2

Nokta LD38 15 in x 12 in DD Waterproof Search Coil for the Nokta Legend 2

At a glance: The Nokta LD38 is the 15 in x 12 in / 38 x 30 cm Double-D waterproof search coil for the Nokta Legend 2. It is the big coil in the Legend 2 set: maximum depth and ground coverage for wide-open sites. Fully waterproof DD, submersible with the detector to 16 ft / 5 m (IP68). Fits the Nokta Legend 2 only. Part 17000566.

When the site is a wide-open field and the targets you are after are the deep ones the crowd has walked over, the stock coil leaves finds in the ground. The LD38 is the coil that reaches them and clears the ground faster while it does.

The LD38 is the largest coil in the Legend 2 lineup at 15 in x 12 in / 38 x 30 cm, and that size is the whole purpose: the big loop pushes the detector's field deeper than any other Legend 2 coil and sweeps the widest path, so you cover open ground in fewer passes and reach targets a smaller coil never saw. It is the coil for pastures, plowed fields, beaches, and old sites that have been hunted hard near the surface but still hold depth.

Why the LD38, and when to add it to your kit

Think of the Legend 2 coils as a set you build. The LD28 11 in / 28 cm ships as the all-rounder and the LD22 9 in / 22 cm is the maneuverable mid coil; the LD38 is the one you add when depth and ground coverage matter more than anything else. Choose the LD38 over the stock LD28 when the ground is genuinely open and you want the deepest, widest coil the Legend 2 offers, and accept that a coil this size is a specialist tool, not the one you thread through nail beds. Most competitor listings just list the dimensions; the honest answer is that the LD38 is the depth-and-coverage coil, and on the right open site it finds what the stock coil left behind.

It is a Double-D (DD) coil, which keeps target ID stable and ground handling clean even at this size. It is fully waterproof; the coil does not set the depth limit, the detector does, and the Nokta Legend 2 is a fully waterproof machine rated to 16 ft / 5 m (IP68), so even this big coil is a genuine option for the wet stretches of a beach hunt.

Compatibility, stated straight: the LD38 is matched to the Nokta Legend 2. The LD coils are re-engineered for the Legend 2, and the original Nokta Legend uses the separate LG coil series, so buy the coil matched to your detector. Nokta's own manual warns owners of more than one machine to be sure they have not fitted the wrong coil by mistake. If you are not certain which Legend you own, call us before you order.
