New legend, only one place to go for a walk through, and you didn’t disappoint. Many thanks

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Thanks Simon! And congratulations on the new machine!! It is a BELTER! Happy hunting 😊😎👍

[@jaysoncasta287]

Thank you for this video, watched 20 different ones, but this one gave me things how I needed them, very simple and to the point. Just got my detector yesterday, tomorrow, I will hit the beach running, thank you again

[@AndrexT]

Great video. I got a new Legend and only just started using it because the manual was so daunting. I watched two videos to help with all these settings that ware available. It seems a very capable machine and finds targets that are really deeper than I want to dig in a park! A couple of days ago I gave up at 9" down, as I suspected it was junk on the left side ferro check.

[@Notchedto11]

As always, another great tutorial Adam. As you know I haven't got this machine but am very impressed (as always) with Nokta's build and functionality - seems to be doing really well for most detectorists! I've just joined the LP affiliate scheme so am looking forward to promoting them on the vids. Hope all is well & see you at Detectival!

@@ivyanddadmetaldetectinguk9192 Now that you've had it for a few months, is it as good or better than the Nox800 ??

[@ivyanddadmetaldetectinguk9192]

@@sagemajka4871 I’ve done 70 hours in the Legend now, I loved my nox and it found me loads . However I definitely prefer the Legend , even the new equinox 700/900 are adding features that the legend has so it must be doing something right . I do 90 percent beach detecting and it’s super stable and very quiet on the wet , build quality is better , the features of the legend are better , performance wise I’d say they are very close but again the Legend just pips it , I have paid for my machine from the beach in cash and gold , 3 lots of gold in 3 trips , countless rings . I don’t see myself changing from it anytime soon, I don’t have any bad things to say at all about it , I bought the pulsedive pin pointer and that is the only thing I’m not impressed with , it wasn’t cheap too, the sensitivity isn’t as good as their orange pointer which is a bit cheaper . For the money it’s a cracking machine and you absolutely won’t be disappointed.

[@Chripiter]

Can't wait,I have the new generation legend, with lk30 coil on its way to me as we speak. I was using a garrett atpro but found it to difficult to use especially in the pro settings. And honestly, I probably would never figure all those settings and tricks out. I was looking at the simplex, but was lucky enough to afford the legend. I'm trying to watch a lot of videos on the legend to have some idea of what all it does. I'll check out your other videos. Thanks

[@landcruiserde]

Thank you this very good video!!!

[@DonaldHeard-q6d]

Thanks for Reply Adam, Have checked both connections at coil end and control box end still have a problem. Pity as I like the Legend its been working fine.

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

In that case, contact the Nokta service centre for your region. They'll be able to do some more in-depth troubleshooting with you and figure out the problem. If it's faulty they'll be able to get it replaced quickly. Nokta's aftercare is the best in the business. You'll be well looked after 😊👍

Great video - thanks for the unbiased factual review. It's amazing what a software update can do 👍 Do you know if even the oldest Legends can be updated to the latest firmware? Cheers 👌

Hi Tristan, Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, any Legend of any age can be updated directly to the latest software version 👍 Nokta are really amazing with their aftermarket service and updates for their machines 😃 Happy hunting!

Top job admam brother

[@NeilPakenham-Walsh]

Hi Adam, It was good to meet you at the Nokta stand at Detectival on Saturday. You showed me the kit you use to record videos - harness and microphone - please can you share the make and model numbers? Your videos are top quality. Thanks, Neil (Oxfordshire)

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi Neil, It was nice meeting you. It's not often I get asked about the recordings equipment! The harness isn't branded. If you search for "mobile phone chest harness" on Amazon it's just the generic one that comes up. Roughly £12 from memory. The mic I use is the Rode SmartLav, although that's probably overkill really. Any Lavalier mic with a wind muff on will do the job fine 😊👍

[@curtiskeels8249]

Does lowering the IF setting decrease the depth of the machine? I was under the impression that less filtering increased the depth. Much like all metal mode. Thanks for the great videos.

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi Curtis, In short, yes. You're lowering the value on the screen but that increases the iron filtering. Bit too complicated to explain easily here and I appreciate it seems counterintuitive but it does make sense 🙂👍

[@curtiskeels8249]

Thanks for the explanation. Happy Hunting.

[@dennisbettencourt1213]

Hello Adam from New Hampshire USA Love your content! Didn’t you have a video on your editing techniques? I’m having trouble finding it. Keep up the good work and thanks

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Thanks Dennis! Really appreciate the nice words 😊 Best way to find those videos is to find my 'Detecting Under Lockdown' playlist and scroll down the the two videos called 'Behind the scenes'. One covers filming and the other editing on Hitfilm. Hope you find them useful! 😎😊👍

[@wobblybob7029]

Hello Adam I'm looking at the legend for my first machine .Is there a difference between the nokta legend and the nokta makro legend

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi! No difference at all. Nokta Makro changed their name to Nokta in 2022. Machines made before this will say Nokta Makro, and machines made after this will say Nokta. It's the same machine 'under the hood' 👍

[@steffenmoss7119]

I got a good deal the other day and saved enough to upgrade to the pro kit bits but is it worth getting the extra battery and 6inch coil?

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

That depends very much on your detecting intentions. If you're going out for 6-8 hours or less, the internal battery should be fine. If you're going away for weekends or don't want to charge the machine after each use, the external battery is really handy. The LG15 coil is brilliant at getting into small places, around stubble etc. It's also good on parks and beaches but the coverage is minimal. If you decide the Pro Pack isn't for you, take a look at one of the bigger aftermarket coils as an alternative 😀

[@geoffking3638]

Hi Adam, I have acquired the latest Nokia Legend recently. I have watched your video on You Tube regarding the basic stet up. My questions are can you input the different settings under each field and will they be stored as long as the coil is disconnected. Regards Geoff King

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi Geoff! The machine will retain the last used settings until your next hunt...as long as the battery doesn't drain completely or a factory reset isn't performed. The coil has no impact on this at all. You can also set up to 4 user profiles with specific settings and choose between them if you wish. Hope that helps! Happy hunting!

Hi Adam, great video. Is the legend good for a beginner? I was looking at the vanquish 540, but this seems much better for not much more money. Thanks

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi John! The Legend is easily the better detector between the two. It's really a couple of tiers above at least. It's simple to use and navigate but you need to be prepared for a learning curve. It's not a 'turn-on-and-go' machine like the Simplex, for example. If you're happy to read the manual a couple of times and be patient with it (feel free to ask me anything!), then the Legend will be an amazing machine for you 😊👍

@@DTEKTSUSSEX Thankyou👍🏼

[@marconorth5296]

Nice one Adam. Is your normal preference to go for settings circa IF 6 and IS 4?

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Honestly I tend to keep the IF at 8 unless I know I'm in an iron-infested area. If it's lightly iron-peppered I'll probably drop to 5 or 6 and if it's heavy down to 3 or 4. It's still a relatively new feature so still some learning curve to travel with it until I'm 100% confident. It certainly performs well, though!

[@DonaldHeard-q6d]

Hi Adam, I recently bought a Nokta Makro Legend. I'm having a problem when I start via on button. Screen Loads shows Ld then start screen appears for a minute or so, then CC appears on screen and detector shuts down. Can't see any trouble shooting that gives me solution. Can you advise on fix. Thanks

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi Donald, Sorry to hear you're having trouble. A 'CC' error relates to the coil connection. Check the connector for debris or damage and re-attach, making sure to press it in, tighten the collar, press it in further and so on until it's fully engaged.

[@mikelucraft3386]

Hello Adam, I have a Question';- Will Nokta be bringing out a Pin pointer that is linked wirelessly to the Legend in the near future.

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi Mike! Yes. I held the prototype at Detectival last month. Single button operation, LCD display, 100% waterproof and links with the Legend. It'll be called the Acu-Point. Exact release date not currently known but shouldn't be long 😊👍

[@timbenham516]

Sweet

[@Imightbewrongbutsomightyou]

Will the Simplex headphones cables and coils work on the Legend etc. I think I already know the answer?

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

They won't. Coils are calibrated for the specific machine and The Legend is an SMF whereas the Simplex is single frequency. The Legend used Bluetooth (better) whereas the Simplex uses 'Wireless' (WIFI) to connect. You do get the headphones with every version of The Legend though so that won't matter 😊 The charging/update cable is the same, though 👍

[@Imightbewrongbutsomightyou]

That makes sense, I think the Legend is great value compared to other brands, and will be my next upgrade from the simplex. Well once I've abused the simplex and it's capabilites. Thanks for the answer and the videos 👍

[@paulmartin3946]

Adam, in your honest opinion how does this compare with the equinox?

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi Paul, I've never used the Equinox so couldn't make a fair comparison, I'm afraid.

[@jasbo9734]

Hi. I'm having a lot of falsing/chattering problems with my Legend. I have uploaded 1.09 3 times, as I've heard that if it's uploaded 2 or 3 times the falsing/chattering is eliminated. Unfortunately it hasn't worked, It's pretty silent in M3 mode, but it's driving me mad in M1 and M2. I've made so many adjustments in IF/ST/Recovery/Sensitivity etc, I've lost track. Can anyone help please. Thanks.

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Hi! That could be an issue with the coil connection but is more likely just a settings thing. Make sure your coil connector is secure and the cable is against the shaft all the way up. If that's all fine, let me know where you're hunting and what settings you are trying (mode, sensitivity, recovery, iron filter etc. etc.). I'll see if I can help further 🙂

[@jasbo9734]

@@DTEKTSUSSEX Thanks. I'll try what you suggested. I know quite a few people are experiencing falsing on M1 and M2.

[@DTEKTSUSSEX]

Only people who haven't set the machine up correctly. It's a sensitive, precision instrument. It needs to be finely tuned to the environment you're hunting on. Once you understand the settings and how they affect the machine's performance you'll het rid of the falsing 👍
