Nice video, I didnt buy the pro pack, but i did get the new Legend with the full carbon fiber shaft and the new Lg 30 9X12 coil. Everytime I go out hunting I end up feeling so impressed with this machine. If Nokta gives any more updates on this machine, its gonna wipe out all the rest of the competition. Just look at the build quality too, great job Nokta!! WOW

Yes, I almost didn't buy from Nokta because I wasn't impressed with the Anfibio, I found it was to chatty, but the Legend it totally different. It's simply amazing! Thank you Iffy signals for all the hard work you put in, I sure appreciate you!!

Cheers for this Mike. Legend is up to spec. An extremely viable package that benifits it's owners enormously, at a seriously competitive price. You started the ball rolling months ago Mike. In came the iron-filter/stabilisation enhancements in the wake of that. Further varient up-dates/coils and ergonomics have really manifested theselves for the betterment of Legend. Glad I 'held off', glad I bought Legend. Money well spent.

I prefer the minelabs over the D2 just like the tones better and easier to turn on and go. The D2 is a great woods machine I don’t like it as much in the saltwater it is very noisy in my area and way more susceptible to EMI being all wireless.

This video definitely helped me. I am just getting used to my Legend. I just upgraded from a White's SpectrumXLT I have used for the last 25 years or so. Using the Legend after using the Sprectum is like night and day. I am still having issues with going from one location to another and the machine acting very unstable stable. Sometimes due to electronic interference I am sure from wireless cameras, wifi and cell phone frequencies. Is it normal to have to adjust the machines stability from place to place? Like going from a local park inside the city and then going out in the country to an open field with less electronics around. The Spectrum was basically a turn on, ground balance and go. Any help you could give me I would highly appreciate. Thank you, Brad

@IffySignals Жыл бұрын

Nice upgrade AR, it will take some getting used to like any new machine but its definitely one of the top dogs out with allot of room for adjustments with tones,recovery and iron filters. Yea stability you may have to adjust here and there but if you leave the sensitivity a little lower it will be less sparky and still have great depth. Good luck 👍

@MrBottlecapBill Жыл бұрын

Multi machines do this a lot. Don't be afraid to use any of the single frequency options in rough EMI conditions though. They can often allow you to run higher sensitivity and get you more depth than if you had to tone down the sensitivity in one of the multi modes. You'll also get longer battery life in most single frequencies other than the very low ones.

@IffySignals Жыл бұрын

Hey Dan, 45 on a silver dime. All machines drop down allot near iron. Manticore moves them near the top ferrous limit, D2 gives the 7-9 id, 900 has an ID drop as well. The D2 you can tweak with notch to get a better ID but all machines do this. Getting a two way tone is the good part but would you dig it? Each detectorist will have a different opinion on that. Im an example even after all the testing I’m guilty of not often digging the 7-9’s on the D2. I know I’m missing stuff.
