Popular waterproof VLF — foundation of the Simplex line
The Nokta Simplex is the foundation of Nokta's popular waterproof VLF line—simple, capable, and tough enough for real outdoor hunting. It gives beginners honest depth and waterproof confidence without overwhelming menus. Nokta designed it for first-time detectorists, families, and casual hunters testing whether the hobby sticks. Picnic areas, sports fields, lake shores, and backyard practice hunts are the right places to start with a Simplex.
