The Nokta Legend 2 is Here: Why This Next-Generation Detector is a Game Changer!

If you caught the recent YouTube video breaking down the brand new Nokta Legend 2, you already know the metal detecting world is buzzing right now. We’ve been getting flooded with calls and emails here at Big Boys Hobbies from detectorists eager to know more. Let's dive into the massive upgrades Nokta has brought to the table and why the Legend 2 is the simultaneous multi-frequency machine you need to be swinging this season.

As your trusted source for all things detecting, we're here to break down exactly what makes the Legend 2 an absolute powerhouse—and why you should get yours directly from us.

What's New with the Nokta Legend 2?

Nokta didn't just tweak their flagship detector; they gave it a serious overhaul aimed at performance, comfort, and precision. Whether you are hunting parks, farm fields, salt beaches, or iron-infested relic sites, this detector is built to adapt.

Here is what the video highlighted that has us so excited:

• Expanded 0–99 Target ID Scale & New Relic Mode: Say goodbye to digging unnecessary junk. The expanded target ID resolution gives you far more granular, precise information about what’s under the coil. Coupled with the brand new Relic Mode built specifically for tougher, trash-heavy sites, picking out the good targets hiding in the iron has never been easier.
• Lighter Weight & Enhanced Ergonomics: Nokta managed to shave off about 0.4 lbs from the original. Paired with a sleek carbon fiber shaft and new membrane keys that are effortless to operate (even with gloves on), those all-day hunts will be much easier on your arm.
• Massive 6700 mAh Battery Life: There’s nothing worse than your detector dying right when you hit a hot patch. The Legend 2 features an upgraded 6700 mAh Lithium-Ion battery and a handy charge LED so you can spend more time swinging and less time tethered to a wall.
• The New LD Coil Ecosystem: Out with the old, in with the new. The Legend 2 introduces the brilliant new LD coil series, including the versatile LD28 (11" DD) and the sniper-friendly LD21 (8" x 5.5" DD) included right in the box.
• Wireless Firmware Updates: Say goodbye to hunting for cables just to keep your machine updated. The Legend 2 is fully equipped for wireless updates, keeping your machine future-proofed with maximum convenience.

Single Frequency vs Multi-Frequency Metal Detectors (+ Best Value Picks for 2026)

Choosing the right metal detector can make the difference between finding treasure and going home empty-handed. One of the biggest decisions is whether to go with a single-frequency detector or a multi-frequency detector.

In this guide, we’ll compare three excellent options available now at Big Boys Hobbies — including a great budget choice — so you can decide which one is right for your hunting style.

---

What Is a Single Frequency Detector?

Single frequency metal detectors transmit and receive at a fixed frequency or a selected frequency band. These machines are great in specific conditions, but they often force you to choose between depth or sensitivity to small targets.

Lower single frequencies (like 5–8 kHz) dig deeper on large, conductive targets and work well in mineralized soil, while higher frequencies (15 kHz+) are better for small items like gold nuggets and thin jewelry.

---

What Is a Multi-Frequency Detector?

Multi-frequency detectors send and receive many frequencies at once. This lets them simultaneously handle:

• Large, deep targets
• Small, low-conductive items
• Mineralized ground and saltwater beaches
• Trash and iron unmasking

They are more versatile out of the box and require fewer setting tweaks in varied conditions.

Written by Bart Davis — Big Boys Hobbies Metal Detectors

I’ve run the Minelab Manticore in a lot of different sites—parks, old home places, iron patches, and the kind of “hunted out” ground where most people think there’s nothing left. The Manticore is already a powerhouse, but after spending real time with different setups, I made the switch to the Minelab Manticore M9 coil—and I haven’t looked back.

If you’re here because you’re wondering whether the M9 coil is actually worth it, I’ll make this simple: it helps me find more keepers in the same sites. Especially when targets are tight, masked, or mixed in with trash and iron.

Why I Switched to the M9 Coil

Most of us don’t need a coil just to say we upgraded—we need a coil that actually changes results. What pushed me to the M9 was the type of detecting I do most: places with mixed targets, iron, and modern trash where good targets get masked.

The M9 helps me do three things better:

• Separate targets in trash/iron so I’m not walking past good conductors.
• Stay stable and accurate so I’m not second-guessing signals.
• Work in tighter areas with better control around junk.

If you hunt clean fields all day, almost any coil will “work.” But if you hunt the real-world stuff—tabs, caps, nails, and weird mixed tones—the M9 earns its keep.

Back to Quick Jump ↑

---

What Changed for Me in the Field

The biggest difference wasn’t some magical “new detector” feeling—it was the number of diggable signals that turned into keepers. In trashy sites, I noticed I could lock onto a target faster and make a cleaner dig/no-dig decision.

Here’s what I saw immediately:

• More non-ferrous hits that were previously masked or blended.
• Cleaner audio/ID behavior when targets were close together.
• Less fatigue because I wasn’t chasing as many “iffy” false positives.

The short version: I spent more time digging good targets and less time digging “maybe” targets.

---

M9 Performance Highlights (In Plain English)

1) Target Separation That Helps in Real Sites

When people talk about separation, it usually sounds like marketing. With the M9, it’s obvious—especially when good targets are hiding near trash. I can wiggle in, isolate the hit, and get a better read before I ever cut a plug.

2) Better Control in Tight Spots

Around picnic tables, fence lines, bleachers, old foundations, and iron patches, the M9 lets me “work the edges” with better precision. That’s where a lot of the missed targets live.

3) Stability and Confidence

I don’t like a coil that feels chatty or unpredictable. The M9 feels like it’s working with the Manticore instead of fighting it. That stability matters because confidence is what makes you commit to the dig.

M9 vs Other Coil Setups

I’m not here to knock any setup—every coil has a place. But if your main goal is pulling more keepers from worked-out sites, here’s the simple comparison from my perspective.

Setup	Best For	Strength	Trade-Off
Stock coil	General-purpose hunting and beaches	Solid all-around performance	Can leave masked targets behind in heavy trash/iron
M9 coil	Trashy parks, iron patches, tight areas	Separation + control + confidence	You may need to slow down a touch and “pick” targets (which is where it shines)

Bottom line: the M9 is the coil I grab when I’m trying to extract good targets from sites that are already pounded.

Back to Quick Jump ↑

---

Setup Tips I Recommend (Fast and Simple)

You don’t need to overcomplicate it. Here’s what I do when I swap to the M9:

1. Do a quick noise cancel when you arrive at the site.
2. Ground balance if conditions call for it (especially if the site is mineralized or changing).
3. Slow your sweep slightly in heavy trash/iron, so you give separation a chance to work.
4. Wiggle + isolate before digging. The M9 is great at “finding the center” of a target.

The M9 rewards a more methodical approach—especially when targets are stacked close together.

Back to Quick Jump ↑

---

Who the M9 Coil Is Best For

I recommend the M9 coil if you:

• Hunt trashy parks and want to pull coins/jewelry from the chaos
• Work iron-infested sites (old homes, relic spots, demo lots)
• Feel like your sites are “hunted out” and you need better unmasking
• Want a coil that feels controlled and precise on the Manticore

If that sounds like you, this is an easy upgrade to justify. Here’s the exact one I’m running: Minelab Manticore M9 Coil

Back to Quick Jump ↑

---

FAQ: Minelab Manticore M9 Coil

Is the M9 coil worth it?

If you hunt trashy or iron-heavy sites, yes. The M9’s separation and control can help you pull keepers that get missed with broader, less precise sweeps.

What kind of detecting does the M9 help the most?

Parks with modern trash, old home sites with nails, and tight areas where you need better target isolation.

Will it help with “hunted out” sites?

That’s exactly where I’ve seen it shine—because many missed targets are masked, not absent.

Where can I buy the M9 coil?

Right here: Minelab Manticore M9 Coil at Big Boys Hobbies

Final Thoughts

I don’t switch coils just to try something new—I switch when it helps me put more good targets in the pouch. The Minelab Manticore M9 coil has become my go-to when the site is trashy, iron-heavy, or simply “worked over.” No on the beach? Stock M11 coil all day long!

XP Deus II Firmware V4 Update: Stereo Headphones Only (WSAST / WS6ST / WSAXLST)

XP is preparing to release a new Firmware V4 update, and I want to make this crystal clear before anyone clicks “update”: Firmware V4 is intended exclusively for XP stereo headphone users. If you’re running a mono headphone setup, you’ll want to hold off until the next release (V4.1).

If you’re new to the platform or want the full detector details, here’s the main product page for the detector itself: XP Deus II Metal Detector.

---

Who Should Update to Firmware V4?

Firmware V4 is for customers using stereo headphones only. You should update only if you already own one of these stereo headphone models:

• WSAST
• WS6ST
• WSAXLST

If you’re shopping for the correct stereo headphone options, this is the exact product listing: XP Deus II Stereo Wireless Headphones (WS6ST / WSAST / WSAXLST) .

---

Important: Do NOT Update If You Use Mono Headphones

If you’re using any of the older mono headphone models, do not install Firmware V4 at this time. These mono headphone models include:

• WSAII
• WS6
• WSAIIXL

For mono headphone versions, the correct move is simple: stay on your current firmware until XP releases the next update.

---

When Can Mono Headphone Users Update? (Firmware V4.1)

XP has indicated that a later release, Firmware V4.1, will be the update that opens things up for everyone — including customers using mono headphone versions.

So if you’re on a mono headphone setup, the best plan right now is: wait for V4.1.

---

My Quick Take (Dealer + Deus II User Advice)

XP is being very intentional with this rollout, and that’s a good thing. Firmware updates can be powerful, but only when applied to the correct hardware. The biggest issue I see is when people update first and ask questions later.

If you’re not 100% sure which headphones you have, check your model name before updating — or just reach out. And if you want to be ready to run V4 the moment it drops, make sure you’re on the correct stereo headset setup: WS6ST / WSAST / WSAXLST Stereo Headphones .

FAQ: XP Deus II Firmware V4 & Headphone Compatibility

Is XP Deus II Firmware V4 for everyone?

No. Firmware V4 is only for stereo headphone users using WSAST, WS6ST, or WSAXLST. Mono headphone users should wait for V4.1.

Which XP headphones are considered “stereo” for the V4 update?

The stereo models listed for the V4 update are WSAST, WS6ST, and WSAXLST. You can see the stereo headphone options here: XP Deus II Stereo Headphones .

Which XP headphones are mono (and should NOT update to V4)?

The mono models that should not update to V4 right now include WSAII, WS6, and WSAIIXL.

What happens if someone with mono headphones installs Firmware V4?

XP has stated V4 is intended exclusively for stereo headphone users. If you’re on mono headphones, installing V4 is not recommended and may cause unexpected behavior. The best fix is prevention: confirm your headphone model before updating.

When will mono headphone users be able to update?

XP has indicated that a follow-up release, Firmware V4.1, is planned. Once V4.1 is available, mono headphone users will be able to update.

How do I know which XP Deus II headphone model I have?

Check the model name printed on the headset/module packaging or in your original order details. If you’re unsure, contact me and I’ll help you identify it quickly.

Where can I buy the XP Deus II and the correct stereo headphones?

• XP Deus II Metal Detector
• XP Deus II Stereo Wireless Headphones (WS6ST / WSAST / WSAXLST)

• Real help picking the right Deus II setup and headphone model
• Firmware and setup guidance so you don’t update the wrong hardware
• Dealer-level support before and after the sale

If you have any questions about your setup, firmware compatibility, or which headphones you should be running, reach out anytime.

• XP WSA ST Headphones Explained: What They Are and Why They Matter

XP’s recent firmware update and live demo made one thing very clear: this isn’t just another headphone release. The WSA ST wireless headphones introduce a completely new way to hear and interpret targets — and once you understand what they do, it’s hard to look at traditional detector audio the same way again.

This update goes far beyond basic stereo sound. It fundamentally changes how information is delivered to your ears while detecting.

---

Not Just Stereo: True Dual-Channel Audio

Traditional “stereo” metal detector headphones usually send the same audio signal to both ears. Some manufacturers experimented with separating iron and non-ferrous tones, but that was still fairly limited.

The XP WSA ST headphones deliver true stereo audio, meaning:

• Each ear can receive different target information
• Or both ears can receive the same target, interpreted through two different detection programs at once

This is made possible by XP’s new firmware architecture and is something we haven’t seen before in metal detecting.

---

Two Detection Programs Running Simultaneously

With the latest update on the XP Deus II, the detector can now operate two detection channels at the same time.

Each channel functions like its own program and can be configured independently with:

• Different reactivity levels
• Different sensitivity settings
• Different audio types (PWM, Square, etc.)

With a single swing of the coil, you get two real-time interpretations of the same target, blended together through the WSA ST headphones.

No rescanning.
No switching programs.
Just instant audio comparison.

---

Real-World Advantage in Iron and Trash

Here’s where this really shines.

You could run:

• Channel one tuned for fast recovery in iron (high reactivity)
• Channel two tuned for deep, slower targets (low reactivity)

Your brain processes both signals instantly. This is a massive advantage in iron-infested sites, old home sites, or heavily worked areas where depth and separation matter most.

You’re effectively getting the best of both worlds without compromising one setting for another.

---

Morphing Audio: Hearing Depth Naturally

As you move closer to a target, the sound can change character. This “morphing” audio gives you a spatial sense of depth and target behavior without relying on the screen.

Instead of checking numbers after the fact, you begin to hear depth and target quality in real time.

---

Chorus Effect for Deep, Faint Targets

XP also added a chorus effect, designed specifically to enhance weak or deep signals.

This effect creates a subtle left-right doubling that helps faint targets stand out from background noise. Deep whispers that might normally be missed become more noticeable and easier to assess.

---

No Motion Mode: More Time to Analyze Deep Targets

When used alongside another program, No Motion mode allows the detector to analyze targets without continuous coil movement.

By continuously sampling the signal, the detector has more time to evaluate very weak responses. This makes extremely deep or faint targets easier to identify and judge accurately — and yes, it opens the door to some seriously deep finds.

---

Why the WSA ST Headphones Actually Matter

Your ears process information faster than your eyes.

This update moves critical data away from the screen and directly into sound. That means:

• Faster dig decisions
• Less second-guessing
• More confidence over deep and difficult targets

Once you get used to this audio-driven approach, it feels far more natural than staring at target IDs.

---

XP WSA ST Headphones – FAQ

Is this just stereo sound?
No. It combines dual-channel detection with advanced stereo audio processing.

Does it improve depth?
Yes. Depth cues are delivered through audio, and running two programs at once can provide real-world depth advantages.

Is it difficult to use?
No. XP includes presets that work right out of the box. Advanced users can customize later.

Battery life concerns?
No major impact. Slightly reduced runtime may occur with the WS6 module, but nothing significant.

Can I run any two programs together?
Not always. The coil is limited by maximum frequency ranges, so certain program combinations are restricted.

If you want one metal detector that can do it all — parks, relics, beaches, shallow water, trashy sites, and clean ground — the Nokta Triple Score Pro Pack is one of the best choices you can make in this price range. The VERY best, not considering price, is the Minelab Manticore.

With everything included and no immediate upgrades required, the Nokta Score 3 delivers long-term value, excellent performance, and outstanding versatility.

If you’re looking to get into a Triple Score but need to stay under a certain budget, keep an eye on our Used Inventory. We occasionally have trade-ins that I’ve personally verified, often saving you $50-$60 off the new price
