Nokta Legend Metal Detector Test at the Hunted Out GOLD Coin Field

#metaldetecting #treasurehunting #coincollecting
I have a buddy that works for Nokta, and he's been asking me for some time to try the Legend. I finally said yes, and I'm glad I did. I've tried so many detectors over the years that I've been numb to new machines. I'm simple. I find a machine I like and usually stick with it for a while. It didn't take me long for this machine to impress me. This video is just me testing the machine out for the first time. I brought it to a very hunted out field that we call the Gold Coin field for good reasons. A Tavern used to sit where the iron patch is now. This place has been god to us, but lately we've found very little here. I wanted to give this machine a true test. Long story short. It passed my test, and you will be seeing it a lot more on the channel!!

I thought I smelled a new Legend in action! Lol. Way to put it though it’s paces Kurt. If you head north this winter I know some pretty handsome dudes that use this machine if you want to jump right in with us…. I mean them. 😉

Hey Kurt Congrats on the Copper and Buttons you found on a place you've hit so hard on. I've been doing that at some spots I hit really hard with the Equinox 700. I've used 4 different Detectors in these areas and the Equinox has found Coins and Relics the others have missed. I do have the Legend. This machine has flustered me even with all the success I've watched with other Detecorist. Watching you I'll give it another chance. Take Care

I enjoyed your review on the Nokta Legend!! I won mine in a "Detecting the Heartland" Facebook raffle. First time out I found 4 rings in a baseball field near my home. One was a 14K Opal ring. And the ability to collapse it to 15" is a game changer, as well. It's going to the DTH hunt this Spring of 2024!! Along with my Manticore!! The Legend is the real deal, in my opinion!!

I've been watching people metal detect for years here on KZfaq and finally purchased my first last fall. It was the Nokta Makro simplex+. Love the sounds, it was easy to figure out with many options, and the price for a completely waterproof machine couldn't be beat. I'm sure that new top of the line detector from Nokta Makro is a dream.

I told myself that I would try it and then go right back to my old detector but I compared them and I was finding targets that my old detector just was not finding. Like Kurt said the iron signals are soft sounding unless it's really big. I have not dug a nail as of yet.

Nice job with the Legend! Legend is my primary swing, but I also have a Nox 800 I got a few months before getting the Legend. Nox feels like a smoother swing, but the Legend feels chattier...but has way more options to dial into, so once I can get it dialed in, it's on the same level as the 800 or better. Looking forward to more Legend vids!
