Metal Detecting an Eroded Beach with the UPGRADED Nokta Legend! (LG30 Coil Review)

What can I find while metal detecting this recently eroded beach? Silver and GOLD, that's what! I took the Nokta Legend metal detector equipped with the NEW LG30 12x9" coil, carbon mid shaft and redesigned arm cuff for a test drive, with some great results. We'll chat about some metal detecting tips along the way. I hope you enjoy this beach adventure!
Many, many thanks to viewer Marc and the team at Detect-Ed for making this adventure possible. This was such a lovely surprise. 😊

🇦🇺 ABOUT ME: 🇦🇺
Hi, I’m Mish and I’m a metal detectorist, treasure hunter and underwater diving enthusiast from the southern coastline of Australia! My KZbin channel covers beach, land and underwater metal detecting with occasional camping and diving adventures. I like to clean up the environment as I go and always remove trash while looking for treasures.

[@onemanwilltravel6039]

My first time catching your channel and I must say that I enjoyed watching your video from start to finish. I love how you broke up the detecting with some B-roll and music a few times. It really kept me watching. Great job with your editing format!

[@lewis1141951]

Mish , you go girl ! The Legend likes you !

[@DirtFishMish]

Cheers Wayne! I'm fairly certain the feeling is mutual at this point! :)

[@katelyng2483]

Really enjoyed this adventure Mish! Congratulations on the awesome finds. That montage had my toe tappin’ & mind transported to the beach! 😍

[@DirtFishMish]

Gotta love a good montage! :) Thanks mate.

[@speits84]

@@DirtFishMish lg28 or lg30 less noise, stability?

[@MichaelaC531]

Haha too funny, I was almost going to go down after those strong winds we had, but just to beach comb. I could watch you dig up 5 cent pieces all day. What a lovely shilling.

[@DirtFishMish]

Interestingly enough, while I was finding a whole bunch of coins, the sand shift had actually covered up a lot of the areas I'd think to look for beach glass, shells and the like. I'm sure some of the other spots would've been affected differently though. That's the beauty of both of our hobbies - you never know what the results will be! Thank you :)

[@ainslievaka8443]

Woohoo! What a fantastic day! Thanks for sharing 😊

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Ainslie, I was grinning from ear to ear by the end of the hunt!

[@PAPOLE1]

Hi Mish got the Legend wow those waves look awsome gonna try that coil for my nokta looks nice . Erossion is happening on the beach I go to also your a coin magnet lol thanks for the video hope alls well stay safe.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Papole! The coil was fantastic to swing, I'd definitely recommend that owners of the original Legend design consider the upgrade if they swing their machine for more than a few hours at a time. There's not normally this many coin targets on this beach, the erosion helped a lot!! 😆 Cheers!

[@marcshea8921]

The video was beautiful, loved it! Braving the cold to test the new setup paid out amazingly!!! And on the silver and a bit of gold. Looks like you thoroughly enjoyed the test drive with the upgrade. I also wanted to thank Detect Ed for their continued support with amazing supply drops at your doorstep! 📦 Have fun and coil to the soil.🏖️ 🧲(((🪙💍🪙⛏️⛏️🌊

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks again mate. It was an amazing day and way to break in the upgraded machine. You're all awesome. :)

Great hunt Mish. Nice silvers and a cracking ring. Thanks for the video.

Hey Mish.....great video, congratz on the gold ring... loved the music mid vid and love the sound of surf crashing to shore, very relaxing..... take care :)

Thanks so much Lorraine, I’m really glad you enjoyed it!

[@bekscho]

Great finds! Well done 😃

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you! 😊

[@gooders4648]

Hi from the UK,that detector looks awesome,it’s summer here so our beaches are very busy,so not much beach hunting going on here

[@DirtFishMish]

Hello from Australia! Ah yes, it gets a bit crazy hunting beaches in summer, during that season I usually hunt them when people are at work during the week, or later in the evening when they are having their dinner. Winter produces better results (when there's erosion) but it can be hard to film :) Cheers!

[@arthurgolddigger7336]

Awesome when the erosion uncovers some good targets, congrats on the Gold ring M 😊👍

[@DirtFishMish]

It was a sight for sore eyes as soon as I got to the beach, A... I don't get opportunities like that very often. You're doing very well yourself too. Cheers mate :)

[@arthurgolddigger7336]

@@DirtFishMish yes I was in tune with the manticore from day 2, probably one of the easiest detectors to set up and just go with it.

[@leeclyma]

Wow Mish! I loved everything about this video! Using the upgrade on the Legend, finding the Florin, Shilling and gold ring!!! You are very informative with the erosion and cuts, you made your way there just in time! What a day! Great to see Al’s footage using the drone 😃 But it would be remiss of me not to mention the sinker finds!! 🤙🏻🏴‍☠️🤙🏻 💜

[@DirtFishMish]

Gotta pay the Sinker Squad tax! LOL Thanks Lee - oh man, you HAVE to get that full upgrade pack - it made a real difference ergonomics-wise, more than I expected it to for sure. I was super impressed. Have a lovely weekend mate :)

[@leeclyma]

@@DirtFishMish I’m planning on buying it for sure!! Hahaha SS tax 😂😂 Thanks!! Enjoy your weekend too!!😃

[@patjacques5391]

What a great hunt ! It was worth braving the cold. Congratulations on the silver and gold🎉

[@DirtFishMish]

It has certainly convinced me to be a little more tolerant of the incoming winter weather! Thanks Pat.

[@laviniawoollard2223]

Wow...well done on the florin 🎉

[@skyedancer3106]

Hi Mish, what a great video. The new coil seemed to do a great job. What amazing finds, even though you were cold, I think the two silvers, ring and coffee money were well worth it this time. Take care and stay safe till next time. ❤

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you Skye :)

[@martaminder2716]

Looks like a winning combination. You had a great hunt. I like how you remind everyone that not all hunts are successful. Look forward to more videos. Be safe and have fun.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Marta, and it is absolutely true, some hunts I'll come home with ~50¢ and a bruised ego. 😂 But remembering that it is about the adventure itself can be a good way of keeping oneself humble. Cheers!

[@tanalee229]

I love the musical interlude about 18 minutes in. You have a wonderful sense for sight and sound.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you, Tana! I think it's often just as satisfying for me to create them, after listening to my own voice a dozen times over while editing it's nice to play with the music, ha. Have a lovely weekend :)

[@Miko19691]

Beautiful silver coins & ring. Have good weekend.

[@annagray4208]

Thanks for another great show, Mish. Better the man's gold ring has a home with you than be lonely in the sand 😊

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you, Anna! You never know, maybe some day I'll have the right conversation with the rightful owner. Everyone seems to have a lost item story when they chat to me on the beach. Cheers :)

[@lanehorsey5053]

Great stuff Mish, love those safety boots. You seem to be digging deeper and trying to show us the depth, how about some measurements on your scoop handle? even just a piece of tape at say 30cm? thank you.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Lane! I show depth occasionally to give a general idea, hadn’t thought about scoop markers but it’s definitely something to consider! Thank you 😊

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Roelf, variety is always fun, didn’t expect a handful of fancy finds in one go but I’ll certainly take ‘em! Always having fun here, and CBK is coming up on my schedule again so there’s more shenanigans in the preparation stage. Cheers mate.

What an awesome day! Take care and God bless, Mish!

[@RoyWCanada]

Hi Mish WOW what a hunt and an education reason to upgrade carbon shaft and 12 x 9 coil. Then we had a demonstration and explanation on what can cause erosion and how to take advantage of that. You really took advantage with the silver coins, regular coins and of course the Gold ring. Thanks for taking us along I'm looking forward to the next adventure with the new coil.💍😄👍

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you for the lovely comment! I hope folks get some use out of the experiences I share. I’m no expert by any means but I do love helping folks start out in the hobby at least. Cheers 😊

[@GeoRedtick]

I just got that detector today for my birthday. I have never done any metal detecting, looking forward to learning and hope to find some treasure.

[@AdrianEvansPhotography]

Thanks for sharing, good hunting

[@brunfree]

Hi Mish, love watching your hunts. It’s cos of u that I started detecting and making videos too, you’re such an inspiration 😀just sayin thanks😀

[@DirtFishMish]

There's no greater compliment than that! Thanks for taking the time to drop a comment, that's so awesome that you've taken up the hobby from watching my videos. I hope it brings you as much joy as it has for me. Happy hunting to you :)

[@phoebebrown2883]

I love those tiny shells. As a child growing up by the beach, I use to collect shells and glue them on to objects and give them away to friends and relatives.

[@DirtFishMish]

What lovely memories! :)

[@ronsdigginthemidwest5502]

Awesome seeing the new improvements for your Legend! I think the carbon fiber shaft may have to come my way as well! I’ve already picked up the 12.5 x 13.5 coil so I’m not sure if I should also go for the 12x9. I wonder if they perform differently? Anyway, a great hunt and wonderful video Mish! Can’t wait to see more of your adventures!

[@DirtFishMish]

G'day Ron! Thank you :) The carbon mid shaft has a little weight difference, but (and let's be honest this is important) it makes the machine look amazing too. If you're using the LG35 to cover large fields or beaches already, you might not need the LG30... for me, the ergonomics are super important and I'm finding that the narrower shape is making the outer angles of my swing so much more comfortable. The recovery is excellent too being that the centre is now only 9" wide like my Deus II coil. Perhaps there's someone local to you with the 12x9, and you could give it a test swing to decide. Cheers!!

[@mpscolorist949]

I saw Digger Dan’s video where they let him get the free upgrade with the LG24 instead because he had previously purchased the LG30. Maybe you can inquire about that. Good luck!!!

[@ShadesofGrAy-at-50]

Hi Mish :) good to see you still hitting your coffee targets :) a golden ring and 2 silver coins as well, what a great day you had, fingers crossed for more of the same :)

[@DirtFishMish]

Hold that coffee money thought for what will possibly be next week's video, hehe. Thank you, I had a great time out on the sand.

[@TheCoffeeBushKid]

Nice going there Mish. Congrats on the silver and gold. Got to stay vigilant about your local area and work on theories cos as you have shown, the early Mish gets the ring. Well done. See you soon 😉😁👍

[@DirtFishMish]

Cheers mate, it was a good run, definitely has me keen to get back out there the next time the winds wreak havoc, so long as the havoc-wreaking is on the sand and not myself. Time to dig that billy out mate. Catch you on the next one. 😉

[@lisar8347]

Super Mish - great tips re weather conditions and amazing finds ! Well done 👍

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you!! :)

[@xXmysterio32Xx]

Some great finds there! I'd love to see how you clean your finds. I never have much success getting the grime and corrosion off my treasures!

[@DirtFishMish]

I'm definitely no expert in this area, but my spendies generally go into a coin tumbler with a spoon of burnishing compound (available from lapidiary and sometimes ammunition suppliers, basically a powdered soap). Tumbled until they're spendable. I would certainly look to others for more intricate restorative advice :) Cheers!

Thanks for your help

Thanks Kevin! Always a nice surprise to find a bit of gold. :)

[@blakeharder6337]

Unreal Mish! What a cracker hunt! I agree with you re the LG30 upgrade. Lighter and more comfortable to swing, especially the new arm cuff. Can you please do a longer video about beach conditions and what to look for in weather events and sand movement? Love it all.

[@DirtFishMish]

I'm glad you're enjoying the LG30 as well! Ergonomics mean everything to me when it comes to the machines I swing, so I'm delighted. Thanks for the suggestion, it would be difficult for me to do as I'm fairly private about my local areas therefore I can't really show the tips properly in most situations. Probably easier for me to keep giving the tips as I encounter them, as you know, every day can be a different story... and ultimately I'm still going through the learning process as well. :) Cheers!

[@ellenvollor8989]

Great hunt!! I am looking at that coil, now. Looks promising, thanks for the intro.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thank you, Ellen! Nokta has a promotion at the moment for the owners of the original Legend, if you buy that coil they add on the carbon mid shaft and the new arm cuff for free. I’m not sure if you’re in Australia or elsewhere but definitely check in with your retailer if you do get one, may as well get the extras too!! 😊 happy hunting.

[@scottf-detecting]

Wonderful hunt and video, congrats on the old silver and the gold. Thank you for the video,, after the day I've had this was a very welcome break.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Rob! Absolutely loving the new coil, I’ve had a chance to try it on soil now as well and it performed brilliantly. There’ll be some videos in a few weeks hopefully. You can always take a photo of your beach from the same position each visit, and that can help to show the differences over time. Cheers mate 😊

Thanks mate, I hear the LG24 can be a weapon as well. The machine must feel super light for you! Happy hunting V :)

[@cowboygeologist7772]

Cool video. The O in Nokta is pronounce like the O in Makro. Long O, like the word No. It's a shame the compition started people saying Knock-ta. I took mine to my gold mine and was very pleased it would glide right over nails and not even make a sound. I've detected since 1973 and had every technology. I used to live in Turkey, so I just had to have this machine. Thanks again for a fun video.

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks Cowboy, I used to pronounce it that way however the international spokesperson for the company, who is Turkish and lives over there also, pronounces it knock-ta and thus I have changed my pronounciation. Perhaps this is for international appeal purposes, but I prefer to adopt the manner in which the company itself says it. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3PRi3SmjN2Yqsk It’s a lovely machine, that’s for sure. I’m glad you’re enjoying it as well. Happy hunting to you and thank you for watching my video. 😊

[@cowboygeologist7772]

@DirtFishMish I just watched her live on Facebook. The first time she said Knock-ta. Then afterward, and when she gave thier website, she clearly said NO-k-ta. LoL. I asked her to clarify. I told her all my Turkish friends (around 40 people and 2 being Turkish teachers) all say NO-k-ta is correct. I mentioned this to her about a month ago and she gave me a thumbs up NO-k-ta is correct. I know the two brothers that own Nokta and Makro are proud of their product. She needs to be consistent in the correct pronunciation for brand image. Knock-ta is a slur used by some competitors, as in knock off, and has crept into the brand name unknowingly by owners.

[@DirtFishMish]

@@cowboygeologist7772 no worries. I think the takeaway here is that it will be pronounced multiple ways, and while one is correct, they are being used interchangeably. I feel Nokta is now at a point where they have risen above the naysayers. Cheers 😊

[@waynearmstrong5233]

If that had been me, that florin would have been 1946 or 47, and the ring would have been off of a can, the rest is about right apart from the quantity of sinkers! I was getting a bit worried there for a while, thought that we might end up seeing a pair of thongs poking out of a sand avalanche, Phew!... Please wear socks and boots next time Mish, my toes were frozen by the time you finished! Great start, great middle and great finish! excellent finds, nice silver's and nice gold, Thats the way you do it, Cheers Mish!

[@davidlawson4159]

Hi Mish another fun exciting video, thank you. Question when you change the coil do you have to re calibrate the display. thanks for your hard work sorry about winter weather. love from Florida

[@DirtFishMish]

Nope, just turn off the machine, change coil, turn back on and go. A trick to make the process even easier is to buy an extra lower shaft piece and leave one attached to each coil, then you can simply flick a lever lock to change them over instead of worrying about the coil lugs. Cheers!

[@howiegrapek]

Loved the first silver floren find (not to mention the rest) Mish. I stumbled across your channel looking for the same detector.... I'm in south Florida, just south of the treasure coast. Same beach conditions now that it winter here in the US. I'm on the hunt for eroded beaches as well. I also have the upgraded machine and it has 1.13 firmware on it, so it is super stable on the wet sand. I haven't decided if I am going to start publishing some videos, but I always have my trusty go pro with me. I might do a highlights reel, and see what happens this year. By the way, what are your settings - I see you are in beach wet mode, how about your recovery speed, stability setting, and tone preferences (are you in P or 60 or 6)? Finally, I must say, your videos are so much better than others I've seen. Your eye, showing off the landscape, different kinds of views, even drone footage is spectacular (of course, I've never been to your side of the world, but you make it look fantastic!!). Keep the hunts going and happy new year!

[@DirtFishMish]

Thanks so much, Ian! I use the Nokta PulseDive at the beach, it has a replaceable hard plastic protective cap which is fantastic because the sand can be brutal on plastics. That's why I don't use my other pinpointer here as it's a solid cast and there's no replaceable cap. Here's a link for the exact PulseDive combo I bought: collabs.shop/exw1yd It has a scuba coil in that kit, but there's a pinpointer-only combo on the site also here: collabs.shop/7p7j17 Cheers!

Got my Legend today i hope its a good upgrade from the simplex, great video!

[@DirtFishMish]

Congrats on the upgrade, I hope you've had a chance to go and test it out already! Start simple - pick the most relevant mode for the conditions, and just start swinging. I will say that I tend to use Multi-Wet most of the time on the beach (even on the dry) with good results. Happy hunting!

[@ivanfisher5566]

Great video , new to beach detecting though I have been gold detecting for a few years , what machine would you recommend for beach detecting , I'm tossing up between equinox 800 or legend

[@DirtFishMish]

Both of them are great machines, I would say the waterproofing is stronger on the Legend and I do like the new 12x9" coil shape. But you really couldn't go wrong with either of those two. Cheers!

[@lehmannfabrice5867]

Hello Hello Mish👋😎🤠

[@Flex241-yv4lj]

HI Mish good relevant info just started metal detecting , I was wondering what sort of finds bags you use , I have noticed several different sorts in your clips. some with leg straps and some without, is there a preferred sort? most of my detecting will be beach and rivers.

[@DirtFishMish]

Welcome to the hobby! I’ve definitely been through a few bags in my time but my favourite is typically the Detect-Ed treasure pouch. I’ve got links to my gear at dirtfishmish.com/gear if that’s at all helpful to you. There’s also the Trshbg which is the one with leg clips, it is really good for use in water however it does only have one pocket whereas the treasure pouch has two, as well as a carabiner for holding rings. Both drain really well. Happy hunting 😊

[@shellyrivera1143]

Question what sand scoop do you use and also what pole, how long is the pole? Thanks!

[@DirtFishMish]

Hi Shelly! It's all on dirtfishmish.com/gear - head to the Beach section. Sito Scoop, 1M pole if I recall correctly. Cheers! :)

Thanks Graham! I haven't tried the larger coil at this stage, and to be honest, with the depths the LG30 was achieving on the sand I wouldn't feel the need to. The overall weight of the machine is a very important factor for me. I deliberately don't discuss settings much as everyone's needs will vary (what I use may not work for others!), but as an example for today, Beach Multi-wet, recovery mid-low (varied throughout the hunt but approx. 2-4), everything else pretty much factory settings as I recently reset the machine. Cheers mate :)

@@DirtFishMish thanks Mish, I tried the big coil today at the beach and yer it did get fairly heavy by the end.

Hi Mish. Great video to learn about erosion. Does this theory also apply to swimming (non surf) beaches? I would assume it does but on a lesser scale.

[@DirtFishMish]

I would say that it would, the angle of the beach is another factor - steep beaches have more of a surface to cut, whereas flatter beaches are relying more on tidal channels where the current burrows a path through them. Some beaches also have creeks that appear after days of heavy rainfall and this can carve a path down to the water's edge. A tip, take a photo each time you head to the same beach and compare - you may notice the differences!

Thank you Talca 😊 I replied to your comment last week, I don’t do shoutouts/greetings sorry!

Gold!!! What did you prefer the florin or the gold ring?

[@DirtFishMish]

I'm so glad you asked this, because on this particular occasion, I prefer the Florin! 😂 Gold rings are lovely to find but that coin was just beautiful. Thanks for watching :)

[@bradloy25]

crazy to see you dig 5 cent coins with target id's of 20 because here in the states that means foil or can slaw with target id's of 20 and the occasional gold ring of course!

[@DirtFishMish]

hehe yep, we have a completely different spread of target IDs here! The 5¢ piece is the only one that low, next up would be a 10¢ piece at around 26 or so. At the beach however it doesn't matter since I'll dig it all! Cheers mate.

@@DirtFishMish what settings are you using? I just found a 18k gold ring 3.2 grams similar to yours but my VDI was 32 i run M3 60 tones if 4 stg 3

[@DirtFishMish]

@@Stefan-wd9uv the men’s gold bands are generally closer to 30 in my experience, this ring is very thin. Beach multi wet.

Hi Mish just got my legend from Detect ed looks very sturdy and taking it out tomorrow on a patch around Talbot which is loaded with finds and too hard using my 6000 with so much rubbish Hopefully I have some luck. Cheers HH

[@DirtFishMish]

Congrats on the Legend, Harry! That sounds like a winning combo paired with the GPX. It's also handy to have as a grab-and-go in your vehicle just in case you get the itch. I've been eyeing off a 6000 for myself actually, just haven't decided which limb or organ I'm going to sell off to fund it yet. 😂 Fingers crossed for today's adventure!! Cheers.
