Nokta LG30 12 in x 9 in DD Waterproof Search Coil for The Legend
At a glance: The Nokta LG30 is the 12 in x 9 in / 30 x 23 cm Double-D waterproof search coil for the original Nokta Legend. It is the standard coil the Legend was built around, the balanced do-everything size for coins, relics, and beach work. Fully waterproof DD, submersible with the detector to 16 ft / 5 m (IP68). Fits the original Nokta Legend only. Part 17000176.
Your Legend came with this coil for a reason, and a nicked or waterlogged coil should never be the thing that ends a hunt. This is the LG30 as a clean spare, or as the balanced starting point if you bought a Legend without it.
The LG30 is the 12 in x 9 in / 30 x 23 cm Double-D that ships on The Legend, so it is the coil the machine's timings and target ID were tuned around. That is what makes it the honest all-rounder: enough footprint for real depth and ground coverage, enough shape to keep separation clean in moderate trash, and light enough to swing for a full day. If you hunt a bit of everything, this is the coil that does a bit of everything well, which is exactly why Nokta chose it as the standard.
Why the LG30 and not another size
Think of the Legend coils as a set. The LG15 6 in / 15 cm is the small sniper for iron-choked, tight ground; the LG28 11 in / 28 cm round and the LG35 13.5 in x 12.5 in / 35 x 31.5 cm are the coverage coils for open fields and depth. The LG30 sits in the middle and does not specialize, and that is the point: it is the coil you leave on when you do not know what the day will bring. Most Legend owners keep an LG30 mounted and reach for a second size only when the ground demands it, so a spare LG30 is the most useful coil most Legend owners can own. Buying a Legend secondhand without its coil? Start here and add a specialist size later.
This is a Double-D (DD) coil, the configuration that gives the Legend its stable two-tone target ID and clean ground handling in mineralized dirt. It is fully waterproof; the coil itself does not set the depth limit, the detector does, and the Nokta Legend is a fully waterproof machine rated to 16 ft / 5 m (IP68), so the LG30 goes as deep as you can take the Legend, wet sand and shallow water included.
Compatibility, stated straight: the LG30 is matched to the original Nokta Legend. The LD coils for the newer Nokta Legend 2 are a different, re-engineered set, so if you run a Legend 2 this is not your coil, and Nokta's own manual warns detectorists who own more than one machine to be sure they have not fitted the wrong coil by mistake. Buy the coil matched to your detector, and if you are not sure which Legend you have, call us before you order.
