Nokta Triple Score vs Legend

Triple Score for most hobbyists and budgets; Legend if you want Nokta's deepest, most adjustable flagship. Both are lightweight, fully waterproof simultaneous multi-frequency detectors, but the Triple Score keeps things simple and affordable, while the Legend adds longer battery life, gold-prospecting capability and a far wider range of settings for advanced ground.

Both run Nokta's simultaneous multi-frequency technology and both take free firmware updates, so the real split is simplicity and price versus depth and adjustability.

Nokta Triple Score

The Triple Score is the top of Nokta's simpler Score family: light (about 2.6 lbs), fully waterproof to 16 ft, with added search modes including a relic mode and an optional accessory Pro Pack. Its appeal is an easy interface and a friendly price, which is why beginners and value-minded hunters gravitate to it. Owners are enthusiastic - one forum thread simply declares it a winner. What you give up is the flagship's deeper menu control and longer runtime. See the full Triple Score review for detail.

Nokta Legend

The Legend was Nokta's first simultaneous multi-frequency machine and remains its multi-purpose flagship. It is fully waterproof to 10 ft (IP68), runs up to around 20 hours, ships with aptX Low Latency wireless headphones, and is capable enough for gold prospecting in highly mineralized fields. Its deep menus and wide settings range reward hunters who want to fine-tune for tough ground - the same depth that makes it more than a beginner needs on day one.

Final recommendation

Choose the Triple Score if you want a light, waterproof, easy-to-learn detector at a lower price and you are a beginner or value hunter. Choose the Legend if you want the longest battery, gold capability and the deepest adjustability, and you are ready for a steeper learning curve. Both are strong Nokta machines; the decision is simplicity versus control.
