Nokta Makro LEGEND Depth Test | Metal Detecting (south coast detecting)

[@garethhoward9886]

RETURN OF THE DIRT BOX ! Great vid as always Arron , very informative. Looks a good bit of kit The Legend I think Nokta Makro are onto another winner 👍

[@chuckswenson8044]

With this test you can put a nail stationary in one of the tubes ,and move a coin below the nail and it will not affect the depth. simply because it does not read iron that is not in motion with the coil being stationary (don’t take my word for it try it)

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

Obviously….. the nail would need to be in motion along with the coin. Simple.

[@i.flyfish3480]

Really good job in the testing and video and nice idea and nice design of the dirt box. I know it’s a lot of work to make the box but what a great job you did. I wonder if you ever thought about making another box filled with beach sand and salt water from the same beach. I would love to see some test of this detector and other beach detectors to see how they compare in sand and salt water in a “Sand Box”. I’m going to subscribe so I can see your other videos. Great job!

[@davelester1985]

That dirt box was a genius idea.. nice.

[@MrCofresipirate]

Nice video and great info. I ordered the Legend and subscribed...Thanks 😎🏴‍☠️

[@johnbriggs5250]

It's apparent some viewers didn't listen to you opening statements about your box test. ( Eventhough you've conducted tests like this with different brands just to get a comparative idea). In the end, it's going to be a personal choice between two mostly equal detectors between Australia/Malaysia and Turkey products and the value of each....France (@ more than double the price) appears to outperform the both of them. And at that price, it shoud.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Well said

[@johnmajka3711]

Great test, that dirt bucket, is a awesome idea. With the testing you have done, would you purchase, the nox800 or the Legend? This is the question, everyone wants to know.

[@antonyfigo8094]

The XP Deus 2

[@gabyspan940]

​@@antonyfigo8094 double the money for 2 inches more in depth? no thank you

[@djskilful6159]

​@@gabyspan940 The Legend with the LG 35 coil is even deeper by these 2-3 inches, then it is as good as the Deus 2

[@ArtistisMe]

Love it. I have the Simplex. Legend is definitely my next choice.

[@thebritishperspective7674]

Great video, thanks for your hard work creating your dirt box and video, love the Legend.

[@jerrytalley802]

Neat test, I wonder if the Legend works even better on wet salt? The ML Sovereign isn’t known for air testing depth but in low minerals and salt, the signal/depth in wet salt is actually better. All other non MF machines suffer terribly and even Fisher CZ loses sensitivity in salt, especially on small gold and/or white gold. Side point, do you have a video of your cool looking, dirt/test bucket, how it was made, neat!

[@OLDROCKER123]

Hi Arron, good test but would like to see in ground test if poss Thanks.

[@youneakfinds256]

Do you have a discount code by any chance? I'm just starting out metal detecting haven't purchased one yet but was going for the vanquish 540 this test you have just done has just changed everything 🤣😂 there all sold out aswel in the uk😔

[@jameshart1028]

Why was there no indication of the depth of these objects on the detector screen? Or am I missing something?

[@thailandgold]

*Wonderful video my friend!* 🤠💰🏴‍☠️👑🙋‍♂️

[@davidius34]

According to the test you performed earlier, it is better than the equnox 800. But what really surprised me is the stability at EMI. Almost no interference. This cannot be compared with Equinox. Equinox It is very unstable. And also very good identification for ID numbers. I am sorry for my English. :-)

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

It is very stable you are right. So far this has surprised me, it’s deep, waterproof, great on wet sand.

[@davidius34]

@@SouthCoastDetecting We don't have salt water, but I'm still really looking forward to it :-) I have ordered it. Great test!

[@johnhamilton4749]

Nice vid, could be a great minelab slayer? Can send you a raider coil for the Apex if you want to try it on the box, got to be better than the small coil?

[@anestishatzi4670]

Hellow friend.Of your experiment i understand that legend makro its deeper than Apex Garrett but Apex had smallest coil than legend.Your opinion?Thanks for your work.

[@ggg77full32]

hello! Is that the standard Coil?

[@thebritishperspective7674]

I like your new dirt box, is there any chance you could a depth test on the simplex, i saw your other video, but this depth test box is much better in my opinion?

[@thegallowsdetectorists666]

Hi Arron , another good test mate and it has to be said you have got more bloody patience than me pal 😂 , take care mate ATB Rob 👍😁🍺

[@cliveclynick4667]

It's the fast salt performance that will be telling.

[@philipedwardcaddick4294]

This is the first time I have seen the " the dirt box " and I think it is an ingenious idea but I think the legend seems a very good machine so good that I'm thinking of getting one for either birthday or a Christmas present to myself 😉

[@markhoeflinger1040]

Would seem to me that, a machine able to detect 16 inches deep- though a plastic lid- plastic pipe is pretty darn good.......im thinking the 2 layers of plastic is a little more difficult than detecting ona beach or on a field....

[@alexanders7069]

The coil should be moving! The soil has no effect on a stationary coil, equivalent to an air test.

[@BlastedKat]

Sometime you just can win with people.

[@MrBottlecapBill]

True BUT as an apples to apples comparison against other machines it's a useful tool. The conditions change at every location and all detectors will have to deal with them so there's no way to ever test that other than live digging real targets with multiple machines which just takes forever to do.

[@djskilful6159]

Nice test👌👌👌

[@jonathanbellas164]

Nice video. I am a bit disappointed in my legend to me honest, barely found a US quarter at 6"...I then laid it nice in flat in the open hole and at 8" it didn't even register... no beep or anything. I tried both field and park mode, recovery at 1 and sensitivity at 30. FYI, I just bought it two weeks ago.

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

What firmware are you running? Because that’s not right at all,

[@oldplucker1]

Yep can we have the XP deus II up next on the dirt box.

[@waynerandall4036]

Hi Arron, Some nice rodding action there, my sewer needs a good clean out if you are available?

[@Jelly_Tots]

Loving the channels content....

[@mehentaldetectorists7064]

It’s got some good depth but is it worth paying nearly £800 when you can get a nox for a tiny bit more?

[@beepdigsplosh]

Yeah but add coil stiffener and decent shaft cost as there crap on the nox

[@treasurehuntingnewyork5979]

Add true waterproofing seen some people resorting to packing dry ice in the nox and submerging it to identify all the several individual places it can leak from and fully seal it so they don’t have to wait on turn around time for repairs nothing some gasket sealer won’t fix but for that money had the simplex wet many many times still not a drop of water in there

[@beepdigsplosh]

Also you get the smaller 6” inch coil as well as the 11” one

[@bigshow6200]

I’m not sold on this detector at all, I’ll keep swinging my Nox👍

[@coreylamiri3313]

No concentric coils ?

[@bobtee2845]

Love the video and all your other vids are really informative too. I'm definitely thinking of buying one of these. In your opinion would you recommend this as the top detector in this price bracket? I'm using the makro kruzer ATM. Its Been a great detector for a few years now i found your vid on it very helpful. But feel I need to upgrade somewhat. And any ideas when it will be available. Thanks Bob

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

For this price range it’s a killer, the build quality is brilliant. I know the Nox is good but this will last longer

[@bobtee2845]

I was thinking the same tbh. I've heard the nox is great but seems to be low on quality. I wanted something that was gonna last. Cheers for your input much appreciated. Any ideas on when it will be available? it's taking ages lol.

[@tambudur5942]

Great test. Thx for your sharing.

[@yusufbugdayci02]

I think the bucket is empty. Depth shows it. If it's an air test, it doesn't matter for professional users. You should test on mineralized grounds.

[@alanburns2882]

Is there no iron bias type settings on the legend and what’s your opinion on how it compares to the equinox

[@craigomernik94]

I don't know about the iron bias settings on a Nox, but i think the Ferrous Meter is going to be much like the old Explorer line of Minelab and it's ferrous readings...

[@bigshow6200]

Why doesn’t it show depth every time you put an item below the coil??? It’s like the detector isn’t working properly. What is the ring and iron at the bottom of the screen, it never moves even on your ring detection

[@SouthCoastDetecting]

They don’t on deep targets and most of these targets were 12” deep and more

[@bigshow6200]

@@SouthCoastDetecting I would think on deep targets it would at least max out the depth meter, makes no sense

[@slackstax2854]

You do have an impressive dirt box mate

[@pomzmetaldetecting1618]

pretty good results even compared to the nox dirt box test and the only noticeable difference was lowered down to would you dig it depth on the nox compared to this result of just barely registering a signal at depth on the legend but overall pretty much even results at a cheaper price

[@BlastedKat]

Well here we go. 😁

[@slave2damachine]

So far it's looking good , stable in wet sand and in water and can go deep and the Bluetooth headphones look good. Any idea what the price is ?

[@LordRa88]

640 for the standard pack I believe and then 740 for the pro pack that comes with another coil. those prices aren't exact but there within a few dollars of what they are gonna be sold for.

Try it on gold chains.

[@simonbean1264]

Looks a good machine. If they were sold without the headphones I'd probably order one.

[@davesherriff]

gonna need a bigger spade .. or maybe a digger

[@richardnewcombe9449]

You wont get those depths in reality . Ground conditions , sweep speed , recovery speed , sensitivity and noise will increase or reduce depth . You can only reliably find targets when you get a clear two way sound , broken one way or spitty targets are going to be missed or discounted . Unless you dig every spit and go slower than a snail. Seems to be good though. Thanks Arron.

[@jimmyberubelevesque2557]

He mentionned at the begining of the video that it was not representative of the actual ground but it was inbetween air tests and garden tests.

[@garetheastwood5179]

And you wouldn’t get anywhere near that when the grass has flattened down in winter and the coil isn’t sitting hard down, would be more interesting to see how it does with natural iron or back fill in the ground because that’s where the simplex struggles especially on its recovery speed 👍🏻

[@dns938]

Let's see how it works with gold and silver chains

[@jimmyberubelevesque2557]

Nice video! Seems to be pretty deep! I was wondering why the depth meter was not indicating anything during the test? Is it because you're in All Metal(A)?

[@ervinalbania2770]

calculate the rise of the detector from the ground then do the calculations 😉

[@texmetaldetecting9209]

Did you run the equinox at that recovery speed? you would never use a machine like that in real life. I will come back in a few months see what machine you are using and people are not key board warriors as you say, they just dont get given machines free they PAY for them

[@baneverything5580]

I just bought the lowest priced Vanquish and got an open box discount to boot. Unless I`m hunting for the fossil of Jesus I don`t really need anything more in my particular region.

[@baneverything5580]

I forgot to mention...I`d like to hunt old underwater swimming holes in creeks for lost rings and may get a Simplex some day to try it. But kids around here disrespecting other`s property has gotten all the old swimming holes banned to the public.

[@DetectorDemetales507]

👍👍👍Excelent

[@СергейЩирица-у3л]

The target depth indicator does not work. Why? The battery charge indicator shows only two divisions, which means that the detector power is lower than with a full battery. There is a Simplex+ test and it shows that the detector sees targets better with a full battery. Thanks for the test and this funny barrel with holes. lol! We are waiting for more tests from you.

[@jimmyberubelevesque2557]

are you sure about your statement regarding to the fact that the Simplex's performances are affected by the battery charge? I highly doubt it because its not how this works, right?

[@chuckswenson8044]

You got to be kidding if you think people are going to fall for that one I build one like that and could double the depth because you are not reading the ground Mineral let me know if you figure out how to move that coin under the ground and hold the Detector still

[@sergeiupstateny9399]

Why to build and use this dirt box if you are just doing an Air Test? This is exactly what you performed in your video. (actually this is the most bizzare version of Air/Bench testing I've ever seen!) If you don't move the coil over the dirt, the dirt is NOT detected and therefore doesn't affect the detection field and DEPTH! Simple physics. (though I wouldn't want to see such a cool looking dirt box going to the dump)

[@nealb3168]
