Dad has been avidly putting this Metal Detector to the test in the field, but in todays video however, we decide to take it to the test garden to see just how well it can compare to the notorious Minelab Equinox 600.. Well these are our results.. YIKES!

Yes. I said the same thing. But that doesn't explain how the nox performed. It was hitting targets strongly. But we are definitely gonna do it outside and see if there is any changes. It was raining so we tried it inside. Thanks for the input

OK guys..... Here's my take. This was done inside. I get that. But what caught me off guard was the smoothness of the nox. The crisp signals. And both machines were similarly set up. With that said it's gonna get better. Nox has been out 4 years. Legend only couple months. Hang in there guys.

Thanks for the test. There is space for improvement on the Legend and Nokta knows this and is working on it. How long is the Nox on the market and how long the Legend? I have a XP Deus l and I have a Legend. Shortly on a Roman field I found a silver Dinar (10 inch down) which was a screaming signal on the Legend but there was no stable signal on the Deus with the X35 coil. For me the ultimate test happens on the field and not on dirt box.

I agree with you 100% this was just something we tried as it was raining outside. And I said the same thing that the legend will be tweaked over the next couple months by Notka. And we will do a lot more testing in the field. I definitely wouldn't base my thoughts and opinions off of one video for sure. Better days are ahead for sure

Since this video. Jordan has now bought the Legend as well. With all the upgrades that has come out for the Legend. It as grown into a very good detector. It is a very smooth detector. Very stable. We just came back from the ocean. Jordan took the 600 along. And could barely swing it due to so much emi. The legend was very stable. My opinion Legend is a much better detector than the 600. Can't say anything about the 800. Never swung it

Hey Guys, You need bigger buckets and check the soil for iron. A search magnet will fish out the iron. Also the Legend coil was not centred. Because you stand behind the target at an angle you were misaligned by 6” sometimes. Look back at the video. But still useful to watch. Would love to see a new vid with bigger buckets and better alignment. 👍

@cliffordblack5103 2 жыл бұрын

That was the only way he could get any type of signal was on the tip of it. And if there was iron in the bucket the equinox outperformed the legend it was a equal comparison for the condition. It might be different without the emi,ground balance,clean dirt but that would give both a better advantage just saying it is what it was.

Yes. There was an issue with 1.06 when it first came out. I drove myself trying to figure out what was wrong. Long story short. NOKTA canned the 1.06 in like 3 days after the release. Apologized and said there were issues with the download. One being lose of depth. 1.07 came out. And I've been rocking ever since. But with new detectors you have bumps in the roads. Just like cars when a new one comes out. They have issues that need fixed. But Nokta is fast and do an awesome job of making the end user happy. Thanks for watching

@@mikekeeferwithaqualandreli4711 I would note just because settings are "similar" in number doesn't mean the scale is the same, so a 2 out of 3 recovery on the nox might be the same as a 5 out of 8 for the legend, or might be very different. You should find the settings on each detector that work the best in a particular soil/area, irrespective of what the other detector is set at, and then compare them.

I normally don't react on the hundreds of detector tests and review videos I see on KZfaq. They all get silver and gold on the first hunt. but....... I have the Nokta Makro Legend for 2 weeks now and 5 hours of search time on the counter with it. I first updated to 1.5 and yesterday to 1.6. I have the same results in the parks as in this video: no consistent numbers and no real depth. I (manually, continually and automatically) ground balanced it. I tried several modes, adjusted the reactivity, tones etc. Yesterday, I saw a video from Calabash Digger. When he lifted the NM Legend coil 3 inches from the ground, the consistency regarding tones, depth and target ID got better. I will now sit and wait for maximum one month, hoping for some future software updates from Nokta Makro to fix this issue. I thought I saved some money buying the NM Legend instead of an Equinox 800 with a carbon fiber shaft or an XP deus 2. As the NM Legend doesn't perform good at this moment, I probably could have better bought a single frequency detector for about 300 Euro. Then, I payed less for more :) Sorry for my negative reaction, but I paid € 750 here in the Netherlands (Europe) and was really expecting more from this detector with the initial software. Maybe I was better off buying the NM Legend Pro pack with the extra 6 inch coil in it. Maybe this coil is more consistent.
