Nokta Simplex Lite overview

Nokta built the Simplex Lite as a metal detector aimed squarely at family and holiday detectorists starting out. It's built around a detection depth of 2 feet and 15 kHz operating frequency.

In practice, the standout parts of the package are ip68 waterproof, 4 search modes and instant operation. That combination is what makes it worth a look for detectorists working farmland and old town sites.

The box ships with 4 items, enough to be field-ready out of the case.
