The Nokta Legend is an impressive machine. They stand behind their products and are still making some new improvements.

dammm these tests are one, Eye openers and two a brain tormenter, I got the legend, but never used it yet as its still winter here, but I was secretly hoping it wouldn't have done as good as it did on the last three targets to justify buying one of those X-terra Pro's lol i know it sounds ridiculous. but the eye opener is showing how Nokta did and still does an amazing job at improving the detectors we hold in our hands, by providing updates. would minelab do that? IDK they probably would hold off and add it to the next year's realize as a sales pitch, Perhaps, Either way, Nokta Changed how metal detector manufacturers do business in a good way for us the consumers, and for that reason, i think i will become a Nokta fanboy by summers end. Cheers on you for doing these tests, much apricated, truly.

Great test Iffy, thanks for taking the time to make these videos.

I’m on a fixed budget so I got a Legend in December. Winter has been deep and long here in Utah. I pre learned the new machine by watching KZfaq videos like yours. In between storms I have gotten out several times. I’m Having great success - second park gold this year yesterday. Also got some fantastic deep relics. Love this machine!!! Thanks for the tests ❤️

Wow great perform of the legend! I love my machine, its like a new detector after an upgrade! Greetings from México

What you probably don't realize is that this series of videos that you've done is probably going to become The benchmark for years to come on all these detectors on KZfaq. Honestly I'm still extremely impressed with the Xterra pro and what it's able to do for that price with a minimal of settings to adjust. Everything it does is just a little bit better than the simplex. Really crazy.

Great job Iffy! I agree that adding some blocks with can slaw or aluminum foil would be nice too!

this makes the legend look amazing :) thanks for the content

Legend update works well👍

Awesome, thx for the test with the legend

I am impressed with the Legend. But as a coin shooter pretty much any detector will do. I know some spots I hunt for parks are old and there is iron in the mix so these test are pretty cool. Really does make me think what I am missing.. Thanks Again Man.

Muy buena pruebas, ayudan a definir diferencias.

Very enlightening. Cheers alot.

Great test thanks for sharing!!!!

thanks mike ... when i have questions i look here first

Good job buddy !!! 🎉

Mike your dog is a Fisher fan no big deal😛

Great series buddy. On my pasture fields have been able to run with iron filter 0, which happy nokta have allowed that option for people that can use it. 👌🏻 that was a great rant video btw 😃 👍🏻

Man...the Legend is a beast! Might replace my jumpy VDI Simplex.

Good video!

Vão sentir saudades dos detectores vlf no futuro. 🇧🇷

There are two Legends doing a great job in this video!

Легенда отличная машина

Thank you

Guess it's better the dogs being jealous of the detectors then the wife🤣🤣🤣

here`s an idea . do this test with the Deus 1 . in a high freq setting with one of the white coils . and i`m pretty sure it will smash all of these targets . because when it comes to pure separation , nothing beats the HF coils and mono so far.

Tons of bottle caps where I hunt Does the 900 have anything similar to bottle cap rejection? Researching to get an upgrade from the simplex. Thanks for making great videos. What’s your favorite machine to hunt with?

M2 was the way to go for this test on the Legend but I’m curious to see if you switched to 4khz if you could have hit that troublesome dime. In my testing I get a little better separation but then I lose the gold targets. 😢

would like to see how they faired with the six inch coils....legend and nox

My favourites apparatus this legend!

Mike, you said you were in Multi-2 mode on the Legend when doing these tests? That mode is frequency weighted for lower conductors….I get that, but why would the silver dime next to iron produce lower tone/ID’s than a Buffalo nickel in that mode? The 900 in Park 2 mode always ID’s a dime higher than a nickel even though it’s also frequency weighted for lower conductors.🤔. Obviously, the Legend should ID a dime higher in target ID than a nickel when there’s no trash present, right?? Thanks for your efforts on these tests!! 👍🏼👍🏼

And the winner is . Me , because I bought the Legend .

Hi Mike , CAPTN DAN has sort of touched on the subject I wanted to ask you about . I do not know for who else I am speaking but I would like to see the same test (if you do the modern trash version ,that as well) but instead of recovery speed I believe it would be interesting to see what frequencies on each machine would be able to hit those targets best (including all single and multi frequencies) As on the Legend you used Muti 2 (I am new to being a Legend owner) I know lower frequencies are better for better conductive and larger targets and higher frequencies are better for smaller lower conductors but what frequency single or multi would give you the best audio and VDI reading on each of your level's targets for each machine? On the ones the Legend and other machines were struggling, are there other frequency that would hit the same test better? I believe it would also tell you the best general frequency on each machine if you were to test that, I am just wondering (for instance) could multi 1 hit the targets better- that multi 2 sucked with? Is multi frequency really better than single? Could a certain single frequency hit certain targets in iron better? It would give one the ability to see the difference of each frequency or cluster of frequencies performance per machine. I know it would be a daunting series of tests but it would open up each detectorist's max knowledge about their machine and it's capability in each frequency but because of it's complexity I would also understand if you do not have the available time to do it.

Does changing the first tone break on the Legend to 7-8 still offer any improvement or is that necessary since the updates?

You must be getting some pretty good perks/royalties from all the commercials that pop up on your videos, good for you.

Great video. I'm glad you know how to say Nokta (No-K-Ta). Drives me crazy when people say Knock-Ta. If I hadn't lived in Turkey, where the company is located, I probably wouldn't notice. There's a European machine I really like (on paper) but no US reviews. Relic Striker by Detech. I can't find anyone who has had one. Have you heard of it? I know Detech makes very good coils and for other brands too.

Do you think IF 1 St 4 would unmask better than lets say IF 2 St 2 on the Legend? I need to do more tests, from what I saw so far IF 1 St 5 seems to mask iron more than IF 2 St 1, I have difficulties to properly understand and evaluate the intricacies of IF and St, I'm using IF 2 St 1 most of the time but if IF 2 St 3 gives similar nail test results than IF 1 St 4, what would be the difference in real conditions then?

If you are testing the Legend on silver you should be in Multi 1 instead of 2. Multi 1 is for high conductors (silver etc), multi 2 is for lower conductors (gold etc).

I think the dog juice improved the Legends results haha

I havent read all the comments yet...doesnt your concrete patio have wire and rebar in it??

What if any difference between the legend macro and the legend ? The one i just got is full carbon fiber and just says Nokta legend not macro on head unit.

Does the dog pee increase performance on the coils?...😂 Thanks for the video

My speaker is kinda raspy, doesn't sound as smooth and solid as my nox. You ever had this?

The dogs would be finding a new home!

Legend @1 means you have to SLOW down the sweep speed,,not keep the speed the same side ,!

I guess the dog’s urine had no mineralization to affect the detectors. 😮😂

Must be a Canadian Dime Eh ! bahahaha

I need an Underwater machine !! this one could do...

You guys over the pond seem to be besotted with target separation , can I ask why, no offence but is the ground over there really that contaminated.?

what number of tones did you choose for the legend? I think it is not 2-tone.

Am I mistaken or did the Symplex and the xterra do better overall than the legend? Great job enjoy the video

For a person who has no clue on metal detecting, which of these is the winner?

Кто из них лучше?

Must be murder on your tyres!

What was so great about the legend?
