Thanks for demonstration.

Thanks for testing. Interesting 🤔

Soils are so much different around the world and metal detectors will react different everywhere. That's why you don't ask what settings they are using if in Europe. Ask yourself, did they GB and what other settings they used. I myself say, "if it's not broken, don't fix it". I like the way I have set my settings on my Legend and it has proven to me it can go deep. I have different profiles for different situation hunts. Plus you have to think maybe, "ghosting" signal due to mineralization or even a "Halo" effect from metal that has saturated the ground after all those years. Deep signals I stick my shovel and open the ground up and break halo then recheck signal. Good hard signal, get to diggin!!

Thanks Iffy. I think this is the 3rd time I've had to re-subscribe to your channel. KZfaq is doing its best to kill us small guys off. Great info as always.

The TIDs of 1&2 will show on the deeper targets I have in my red dirt mineral test bed. Same as I showed on my first video. I still need to experiment more with BE mode but for me it would be only for low trash ground. Regular Field & Park with DT activated is a real step forward and much more usable both in low & higher mineral soils. Hopefully Nokta will continue to improve BE mode as it is a good concept as was Gen D mode & EUD on the Anfibio, it just needs to be more real world usable. DT activation, on the other hand, is a a clear advancement to be praised.

👍. Saw the NM vid. I've always manually GB'd (ground permitting), I manually GB periodically as I go, too. VDI means zilch, for me, when trying to locate deeper. If I get the faintest of a "round" whisper up it comes. Beaucoup analogue time hunting, esp: in AM, Mike...Set in my ways. I melded with v 1.09, so I stopped with it.. NM will "get there", I'm sure. Good job man👊👍🏴‍☠☘.

First Nokta came up with a beast mode that will only be used by a few and that everyone would have liked different with a M4 low freq high sens. Second they came up with a underperforming beta. Third we have the "everything is fine" again no matter what, starting to make obscure and incoherent video in real life to proove they know better. If you or other serious yt testers are not able to make them question their stuffs, nobody will can, no matter how much people comment on yt videos to tell the same. They trust no one, they consider no one. Everyone is trying to bash them freely. This is very disapointing, I'm still happy enought with 1.09 over the next, but that's it, I will not trust Nokta again to put a few hundred bucks in a detector. If I ever buy another one, the Versa is a on top of the list, they have prooved to be able to improve their machines over time. Shame on you Nokta

They need to fix that update , at least they did say it’s a beta version so I’m hoping before they release that actual update they fix these problems because according to nokta beast mode can perform in all soils , I’m not even bothering with beast mode yet , the DT feature helps a little but I don’t see a big difference

I have black soil in the park.GBs run 13-30!. I ran the m15 vs lg35 manticore vs Dt Legend. Park/ AllGen, both 2 tone Descrim 17-30&50/60 Legend& 20/35&70/90 manticore. Both Reaction 4 both 0 iron threshold. Neither machine was hitting any decent signals more than 6 inches. Besides the can slaw pull tabs and lead pieces The manticore hit 2 dimes 1 penny and a nickel. The legend would not hit those dimes at all maybe the penny and hit the nickel just as hard. Both hit my test thin gold ring on a heavy fishing string slightly on edge @ 6 inches. Multi 2 was best and multi on manticore. I tried 20hz on the legend which usually is next best in this area but wouldn't hit any of these tonight. 20mhz on the manticore struggled on these but I probably wouldn't of found them. Both had wacky debth readings, something reading max depth was only 4-6 inches.

I ONLY get low single IDs on deep iron targets most of the time. Not every time the odd mixed metal nail or fastner may fool me. Everything else non ferrous comes in with an up averaged VDI. Which as I said in a previous comment I still found useful for checking for deep iron in field mode which would often give me sketchier higher numbers for iron. Running Beast mode full time however is not productive IMO.

Nokta did not recognize the error with 1.11, I went for half a year without any finds, installed 1.09 and there were a lot of them, it’s a pity the beast marketing mode, increasing the depth is impossible without additional interference

I’m probably going to wait to update mine. I’m not that proficient at testing these new machines, way too many adjustments for me. I see the benefits but the legend is just hard for me navigate, from day one. I’m sure if I can get out more and just practice I’m sure I’ll get it figured out? Maybe ask Nokta where their ground balanced numbers were, that would tell if it was lower/higher than your soil?, thanks

i did little separation test in field today, was in field mode, recovery 7, IF2, ST 4, 0gs, 0bc/ sensitivity 22... i used the pice of iron i found there and a non ferrus object (not a coin) and the the more DT i crunked the worse signal would get, i achived the best unmasking on DT zero, wich according to instructions should gave better unmasking results the more DT you put... i dont rly get the best mode.... and nokta vide is odd, the should comper all programs on same reactivity, plus show the rest of filters, and give the targets depth

Park 1 sounds much better. I usually get around 25 on nickels not 50. That up averaging that’s going on in beast isn’t gonna cut it for me. Interesting observation.

Hi I’d value your take on the the Legend 1:15 Alpha update before I do the update.

Same

Still same results for me in my ground. Park and field are way deeper than beast mode in my soil.

Hight numbers for me too, what’s the max depth you places the coins at that it picked up?

Hey mate, to be honest, in our soil it never happens that the good targets drop to 1 or 2. Maybe it's the soil, I don't know. The set filter reminds me of that Nomad video. I downgraded mine back to 1.13. The problem I see is, even when experienced users can't figure it out, how should a beginner understand it? Maybe they should redo the test with all programs in all metals and target depths so we get more information on how to reproduce that test to get a better understanding.

manticore or Legend i will be purchasing one this week i would like your feedback being that you have used both and i trust your opinion. Thanks

Iffy pls make video with 1.15.🎉

I just want your opinion. I have been hunting with the Deus 2 for over two years with great success. I am wanting to buy a Nokta Legend or a Minelab Manticore. Which would you go for? Been detecting for 52 years and have owned just about everything out there. Thanks Terry in Tennessee.

I think I saw their GB at 54 when you said yours were 15. Would that play a role?

Your test outcomes are mirroring mine, absolutely . I’m getting higher vdi than true vdi on items.For a mode that is suppose to find items the other programs, I am finding the standard modes especially park m3 better at hitting targets at fringe of detection and an ID closer to true ID. I have had a few bugs also with this. Strange audio on targets . Also getting that fluffy low tone with 1-2. We have 2 types of soil on opposite side of the world and getting the same performance. Even though the test video by nokta , showed how the beast mode should work perfectly. Even though they had an ID of 1-2 and the audio was screaming as if the target was a few inch down from the coil . Hmmmmm very strange. Great work iffy, it’s been a pleasure. 🧑‍🦯👌🏻

In noktas test video the VDI numbers really confused me. Why were they so low?

Talk about getting complexed did I hear Park hit it over Gold Mode?

Sure is interesting, obviously it's not working the same as the test that Nokta did! 🤔 maybe you should send the video to Nokta and ask them to view it. They might be able to give some insight. What about that second GB feature?

deus 2 ever

Was it me or did the computer voice in noktas test video start to sound angry during the second half lol I watche mentals metal i think video on beast mode, and it was reminding me of goldfield mode on the deus one with iron amplitude rejection cranked up, a sort pitch tone, but not really its multiple tones on the deus i think I need to get out and test this myself and see if i like it or not, but its raining the next few days, but all my gear is water proof maybe i should just go out in the rain

Hiya buddy, have you put the beta 2 version on it yet and done any testing ?

first video bad ground larger coil is a skewed comparison.

To me it looks like they are over complicating the legend.

They had their sensitivity on max, I don’t know if that changes the vdi

Interesting test' thank you for sharing.
