How to use Nokta Findx and Findx Pro metal detectors
Categories: Nokta - Reviews and tests
The category up to 5000 CZK has received a revival with the arrival of two new metal detectors from Nokta Findx and Findx Pro. The detectors, which are based on the popular Simplex series, have been given a new beautifully simple menu (here you need to sayIt is also worth mentioning that all functions can be accessed directly with a button and there are no submenus etc.) and at the same time a very attractive design. The detector is fitted with a larger 11" (28 cm) round coil, which despite being a beginner detector gives the unit a decent range. The Pro version is also fully waterproof... consider for yourself, a fully waterproof metal detector, built on a modern VLF design and priced under 5000 CZK!
The control of the detector, therefore, is really user-friendly, as you are not looking for anything and everything can be accessed "right away". The telescopic design and at the same time decent performance makes the Findx a completely unmissable star for all beginners who don't want or can't invest more. In addition, it is literally the whipping boy for all Chinese "fake" copy detectors, which makes us and we think it's the way to go for all manufacturers to introduce a similar detector in this class.
What is the difference between Findx and Findx Pro?
The detectors have identical performance, but the cheaper Nokta Findx lacks a working jewelry mode. In addition, unlike the Nokta Findx Pro, the detector is not waterproof, only the probe is waterproof. So it is up to each searcher to consider at the beginning whether he wants to walk also "water", when at the same time quite often he will usejewellery mode, which is most suitable for such searches on freshwater beaches and when wading.

Key features of the Nokta FINDX PRO metal detector
1. Detection frequency
- Single frequency detector: the Nokta FINDX Pro operates at a medium frequency of 15 kHz. This frequency offers a good balance between sensitivity to small objects such as coins and jewellery and the ability to penetrate deeper into the ground, which is important for detecting larger metal objects deeper in the soil.
- Optimised for common metal objects: the frequency is designed to suit the common search for coins, relics and small objects. Unlike higher frequencies, which are more sensitive to very small objects (e.g. small pieces of gold), this frequency provides more stable performance in most conditions.
2. Detection modes
- AllMetal Mode: this mode detects all types of metals without any discrimination, making it ideal for finding deeper or small objects when you want to hear every signal.
- Discrimination Mode. The FINDX Pro has a simple discrimination system using ID numbers on the display, allowing the user to better target the desired objects.
- Adjustable Notch.

- Waterproof 2D Coil: FINDX Pro features a 2D coil that has optimized ground coverage and depth sensitivity. The waterproof design means that it is suitable for use in wet locations such as beaches, rivers or shallower waters, expanding search capabilities.
- Coil size: the standard coil is 28cm in diameter, offering a great compromise between depth and sensitivity. Smaller coils tend to be more sensitive to small objects, while larger coils allow deeper penetration through the soil.
4. Digital display and target ID display
- Target ID numbers: the FINDX Pro uses a simple numerical identification system where different types of metals are assigned to specific numerical ranges. This system allows users to quickly decide whether or not to signal dig.
- Depth Indicator.
- Battery status: a battery status indicator is also visible on the display, ensuring that the user is informed of the remaining battery life.
5. Sound indication and tone resolution
- Multi-Tone System: the FINDX Pro provides different audio tones based on the type of metal. For example, ferrous objects have a low tone, while metals with higher conductivity (silver, copper) have a higher tone. This system allows the user to distinguish between different types of metals without having to constantly look at the display.
- Adjustable volume: the audio tones can be adjusted according to the environment - for example, in noisy environments, the volume can be increased for better audibility.
6. Sensitivity and ground effect tuning
- Adjustable sensitivity: users can adjust the sensitivity of the detector depending on the soil conditions. Higher sensitivity can be used to detect small objects, while lower sensitivity is suitable for mineral soils where there is a higher risk of interference.
- Soil influence tuning: allows manual adjustment of the GB, which is important for achieving stable performance in different soil types, including mineral-rich terrains.
7. Power supply and operating time
- Built-in 2300 mAh battery: the Nokta FINDX Pro is equipped with a built-in 2300 mAh rechargeable battery, which provides a long operating time on a single charge. Thanks to this battery, the user does not have to change conventional batteries, which ensures more convenient and greener operation.
- Users are always aware of the remaining battery capacity thanks toa clear indicator on the display.
8. Lightweight design and ergonomics
- Lightweight and ergonomic design.
- Adjustable length: The detector has a telescopic design that allows the length to be adjusted to the height of the user, ensuring comfort in use.
9. Affordability and ease of use
- Low price: the FINDX Pro is designed especially for beginners or recreational searchers who do not want to invest in more expensive models. Still, it offers enough features and performance to make it attractive even for intermediate users.
- Easy to use: the detector features an intuitive control interface with a few simple buttons and a clear display, making it easy to work even for less experienced users.
10. Durability and water resistance
- Suitable for light to moderate conditions: the PRO version is fully waterproof to 5 metres
Summary:
The Nokta FINDX Pro detector is the ideal tool for beginners and intermediate users who who want a simple, lightweight and affordable metal detector with sufficient performance for routine detection activities. The combination of multiple tones, numerical target ID, waterproof coil and ergonomic design make the FINDX an excellent choice for everyday searches. Its main advantages are its ease of use, good price/performance ratio and reliability in searching for metal objects in a variety of conditions.
