Nokta Double Score: Is This the Right Detector for You? (Review, Thoughts, Hands-on Experience+)
The Nokta Double Score, a recent addition to the market of metal detectors, has been acquired and tested by us here in hobby-detecting and we will now give you our review and thoughts on this detector. In this review we will look at the features, performance and design of the Nokta Double Score to see how it stacks up against other detectors in the market.
Nokta Detectors, a company renowned for its high-quality metal detecting equipment, has recently introduced the Nokta Double Score. This device is a versatile metal detector that supports both multi-frequency and single-frequency operations, making it a flexible choice for various types of metal detecting activities, from beach hunting to relic searching in mineralized soils.
Design and Build Quality
The Nokta Double Score is designed with focus on durability while maintaining a lightweight profile, which is essential for long detecting sessions. The detector comes equipped with a standard coil measuring 12″x9″, a size that offers a good balance between depth detection and sensitivity to smaller objects.
What makes the Double Score stand out in terms of design is its construction. The elbow support and its rod are made from regular plastic, but the lower and middle rods are crafted from carbon, a choice that significantly reduces the overall weight of the detector without compromising on strength.
This combination ensures that the Double Score is not only light but also comfortable to use for extended periods. Furthermore, the adjustable elbow support adds to its ergonomic design, allowing detectorists to customize their fit for optimal comfort.
Performance and Features
The Nokta Double Score shines when it comes to its operational capabilities. Being both a multi-frequency and single-frequency detector, it has a very good versatility.
This feature allows users to adjust the device’s performance to the specific conditions of their hunting ground – whether it is highly mineralized soil, wet beach sand, or even underwater explorations. Speaking of underwater, the Double Score boasts a waterproof rating down to three meters, a feature that gives detectorists access to detecting in shallow rivers, lakes, and coastal areas with confidence.
Pricing
In terms of pricing, the Nokta Double Score finds itself between the more affordable Nokta Simplex (and its Ultra variant) and the slightly more expensive Nokta Legend. This positioning suggests that the Double Score is aimed at detectorists who are looking for an upgrade from entry-level models without breaking the bank.
Its price point, approximately on par with the XP Orx, indicates that Nokta is targeting the mid-range segment of the market, offering a product that provides a robust set of features at a competitive price. For its price the Double Score presents a good metal detector, especially considering its lightweight design, versatility, and waterproof capabilities.
Thoughts
The Nokta Double Score is a welcome addition to the metal detecting community. It can be seen as filling some of the gap between entry-level simplicity and high-end complexity, offering a sweet spot of features, performance, and price. Its light and comfortable design together with the capability to switch between multi-frequency and single-frequency modes makes it a great choice for various detecting environments. The waterproof feature further extends its range of detecting landscapes and conditions.
The overall build quality ensures that the detector remains both lightweight and sturdy as well as reliable. For those in the market for a versatile and reasonably priced metal detector the Nokta Double Score certainly deserves consideration. Whether you’re just starting your metal detecting journey or looking to upgrade your equipment the Double Score can be a valuable companion for you!
