Looks like Nokta has a new product called FIND X .Has anyone used one?They have two models the plain jane and the Pro.Anyone have any feed back?Thank you.
That was quick!User videos should be coming soon.
It looks to me like the FindX is meant to compete with the cheap Amazon detectors. The FindX is $150 for the kit, and no doubt is much better quality and much better performance than those cheaply made Amazon brands. The Find X Pro is submersible. The FindX is not.
In addition, I saw a post by Nokta saying that a "high end" detector is in the works. That sounds like a successor to the Legend
Good mercy,looks like war about the competition in detectors! Its like a give away at $179.00 with headphones,digger,and carrying bag.Looks like Nokta has a new product called FIND X .Has anyone used one?They have two models the plain jane and the Pro.Anyone have any feed back?Thank you.
It makes perfect sense for the same reasons Minelab introduced low cost detectors like the X-Terra Pro and the Voyager. Keep in mind that young newbies that don't have a clue about metal detecting, probably aren't going to search out a metal detecting forum, nor do they want to spend big bucks on a hobby they might not enjoy. Those newbies will be going to Amazon and buying a low cost detector.Nokta is saturating the low end market and it doesn't make sense.
I would much rather see them make a legend pro.
They will kill themselves launching new product. I just don't get it.
Go on Amazon and search for “metal detector” and look at sold last month.Nokta is saturating the low end market and it doesn't make sense.

Thanks for the replies. Good points.
It is pretty crazy the amount of new hardware they are dropping but you're right, they are growing so they must be doing something right.
Thing is Rob, how do we know how big Nokta has become? It's not as though we have detector sales and profit data to compare. Although it's quite clear that Nokta has been felling said giant in the coin / jewelry detector market, but there's still the gold market. Minelab still seems to have that market cornered. With the astronomical prices of Minelab's gold detectors (up to $10,000), their profit margin on those detectors is also astronomical. However, Minelab's monopoly on that market is falling due to the AlgoForce, Axiom, and Nokta's upcoming PI gold detector. Then there is also the upcoming successor to the Legend, and whatever Garret is supposedly bring to the table with the Storm. I think all of that will prove to be the final nail in Minelab's coffin.All giants are capable of being felled. But the real question remains- If Nokta does get big like Minelab will they too become arrogant and skyrocket their prices? Remains to be seen.
As much as I prefer using a shovel, I would never walk into a park or any well maintained grassy area with a shovel. It's the shovel that plays a major role in the banning of metal detecting.The final nail in the coffin for all metal detector manufacturers will be over government regulations (NO PLACE TO HUNT) We are seeing it happen year after year no more crazy old men walking around digging holes in the ground the majority of the populations could care less lf outlawed . sube
