Nokta Findx Pro 5

Treasure hunting is so exciting, it’s like the original unboxing rush, except instead of a mutant monster toy you could get an Iron Age silver coin hoard. The Nokta Findx Pro is aimed mainly at beginners and intermediate users who want a reliable detector that is easy to use and comfortable to handle (1.2kg). it comes with everything you need to get going, a waterproof DD 11 Inch ’Search Coil and Cover, Headphones, Premium Digger and Carrying Bag. The overall build quality is excellent. The unit feels sturdy and well balanced, and it is fully waterproof to a depth of around five metres, which means it can be used confidently on beaches or in shallow rivers.

What makes it a great choice for beginners is how straightforward it is to operate. It offers four preset search modes called Field, Park, Beach and Jewellery. These allow the user to quickly get the hang of different ground conditions without needing to learn complicated adjustments. The control layout is clear and simple, and settings such as discrimination, sensitivity, and volume are all easy to reach.

The Findx Pro performs well in a wide range of conditions. It is particularly good at seeking out coins, relics and jewellery at moderate depths. It appears accurate up to about eight inches for coin sized targets, depending on soil type. While it can detect larger objects at greater depths, this is not its strongest area so for the solid gold statues might require an equipment upgrade. The target identification numbers (0-99) are generally reliable, although they can become less stable in highly mineralised ground.

The built in rechargeable battery is a practical addition and removes the need to buy and carry spare batteries. Charging through a standard USB connection and will last about 12hours. A backlit screen and a small LED light are thoughtful touches that make detecting easier in low light conditions.
Overall, the Nokta Findx Pro represents very good value for money. It is an ideal choice for anyone new to metal detecting or for hobbyists who want an affordable but capable machine. It may not offer the depth or advanced features of higher end models, but within its range it performs impressively and provides a satisfying and dependable experience. RRP £169.95
