  1. here is the first set https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VSGLBLZ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Conduction-Headphones-Waterproof-Bluetooth-Canceling/dp/B098D8RNHY/ref=sr_1_51?crid=L9066MIZ7QZ4&keywords=wireless%2Bbone%2Bconduction%2Bearbuds%2BDunspin&qid=1649012295&s=electronics&sprefix=wireless%2Bbone%2Bconduction%2Bearbuds%2Bdunspin%2Celectronics%2C169&sr=1-51&th=1 the second pair are similar to the ones I purchased but not exact the ones I purchased seem to be out of stock
  2. Give me a bit and I will post up the two I purchased on Amazon I will say I had them the next day after I placed the order very quick shipping
  3. I picked up a couple of sets of ear buds to try with the Legend because in the summer in Arizona it is way to hot to wear over the ear headphones, picked up a couple decent pairs to try 1 pair made by TOZO they work flawlessly connected rite up as soon as i turned the Legends Bluetooth on in a matter of 2 seconds the second pair was a set of bone conduction made by a different company called Dunspin they were equally as fast connecting to the Legend, both pairs have no lag from what I can tell and sound really clear when detecting just wanted to post this up to give people options picked both up on Amazon
  4. as others have said the green headphones are not compatible with the Legend and Neither is the pulse dive pin pointer
  5. well that is the same reason I did them my 62 year old eyes are not the greatest anymore and painting the buttons helps a lot
  6. didn't like the way the buttons looked painted white so I changed them to gold
  7. it took me a bit to get it on I tried to find the Deano's and never could find them so I just purchased the Sly Lynx I am thinking about taking a razor knife and cutting around the speaker removing the part that covers the speaker then burning the edges of the dust cover where I cut, I seen one user that did this and it looked like it was made for the Legend
  8. For anyone with a Legend that is interested, I picked up three Sly Lynx dust covers for mine and my grandsons simplex pluses, they fit the Simplex plus perfectly they will also fit the legend but they are pretty tight, the sly lynx dust cover on the legend once fully on does cover up approximately 2/3rds of the external speaker on the back but I will say it does not impede the volume, it does take a little effort to get it on the Legend control head but it looks pretty nice once on, nice snug fit on the legend, once you do get it on all the buttons are still easy to get at and push and it sure will not be moving around on the control head like some I have seen on other detectors, nice add on accessory to keep mud and dust off
  9. well if you are asking how to charge without the cable I am not sure the charging cable for the simplex is a special cable the spot where it looks like a pin is out is actually an alignment pin to get the charging cable aligned properly for charging the same cable is used when doing updates, that same connection is for wired headphones also did your simplex not come with the charging cable ???
  10. That ferro check meter I have also forgot to even look at it I forget it is even there which like you I need to start making it a point to look at it just to get a feel for what is what also the TIDs which is the hardest for me because I have never really ever used the TIDs on any detector, i have always dug by tone if it sounded good I dug note to self need to make post its to remind me to look at ferro check and TIDs LOL
  11. The little bit I ran my Legend I put the spare battery under the arm cuff and with the 11 inch coil it seemed to balance out better it was actually a nicer feel for me with the battery under the arm cuff and it did not seem to add much weight to the over all feel
  12. sounds like you had a good time with the Legend
  13. i am really liking it a lot it reminds me of the Xterra 705 but with a lot more adjust ability then the 705 and that is saying something, the ergonomics is better then the 705 the Legend is a bit heavier to me then the 705 but comfortable to swing updated the Legend to the new update which was the first thing I did before actually using it other then the one time I swung it over my yard so I cannot tell anyone if it is better or worse with the new 01.05 update I will tell everyone when I updated it, I did not think the Legend updated properly even though when you turn it on it does say in the upper right hand corner it is 1.05 it took me about an hour of messaging users on Facebook to finally figure out it was correctly updated my thoughts on the update install it could have been a simpler process and also could have been easier to find out that the update was installed properly this is for anyone that attempts the update follow the instructions when doing it if you are unsure ask someone there is all kinds of info and people willing to assist you on Facebook, one thing that makes it difficult to tell if the update took is because when you first turn the Legend on it defaults to custom discrimination on the screen there will be a C by the discrimination bar that C needs to be changed to F, you change that by tapping the horseshoe button to toggle between the discrimination patterns that is the only way you can actually determine the update worked, other then when you first turn the Legend on, the C discrimination pattern does not change once the update has been done 11 is still notched out and the tone break is still set to 11 in custom discrim but when you toggle that to F you will see the tone break is now set to 10 and 11 is now notched back in Now for the good stuff took the Legend down to the park next to where I live there is a lot of EMI going on in this area I did a noise cancel but also had to lower the sens down to 20 to get it to actually quite down I also did a auto ground balance as the area I am in is highly mineralized my GB numbers came in at 94 so it is hot i, the legend was popping and cracking quite a bit which is understandable because i was in all metal mode just to get a feel for sounds from all targets, keep in mind i only hunted for about a hour and that is because I am still fighting with the affects of having covid a few months ago, it literally killed my breathing so I do not get to go for long before I have to take a break, I will get there though, I was swinging in park mode M1 sens 20 got over my first target which was down about 3 inches a clad penny, that was the only coin I dug after that it was pull tab city I attribute that to not really knowing the legend I dug 4 pull tabs and then had to quit and sit down I have never been one to look at TIDs so I cannot even tell anyone what those TIDs were on the few target I dug I have always detected by sound I will tell you some of the targets the sound is what stopped me, I really need to make a point of starting to look at target IDs and make it muscle memory to do so but I am so set in the way I detect it is going to take some discipline on my part to get there as far as the Legend is concerned it is a very solidly built detector and with the updates that I believe Nokta/Macro is going to be putting out for the legend I believe it can only get better, the Legend is very comfortable to swing and for me it did not seem to wear my arm out the tones are fantastic and can be adjusted to each users liking, it is for me going to take a bit getting accustomed to adjusting the settings which could take a while simply because I do not get to hunt near as much any more due to health issues so there is my first thoughts on the Legend
  14. did you disable your anti virus and firewalls I had the same issue on my lap top which is windows 11 once I told it to allow it it went through I did disable all my protections though, not sure about Mac though as I have never used
  15. just got it delivered and put it together first thing you notice once it is all together is the build quality of the Legend, to me it felt well balanced,set the spare battery in its cradle just to see what it felt like with the spare battery hanging under the arm cuff, it actually to me added a little more balance to the over all feel of the Legend, and did not seem to add much weight at all have not went out and tried it out yet detecting, but I did turn it on and set the clock to 12 hour mode, did a frequency shift that took me a bit to remember what I read in the manual but figured it out did the frequency shift because it was a bit noise y when i turned it on, lowering the sensitivity down from factory default which is 25 did not help to lower the noise from EMI but when I did the frequency shift it quieted down considerably, not going to go detecting until I do the update, but I will say I hit a quarter in my front yard that I have been over numerous times at around 6 inches, i still cannot figure out how I would have even missed that quarter but apparently I did, just did not go over it at the correct angle or something but the Legend did see it will update more once I get a little more acquainted with all the settings and things, I did not want to detect until after I update, I will admit for me it is going to be a bit of a learning curve and I attribute that to the legend being new tech to me, and my age and mind not working like it did when I first started detecting overall I am impressed with what I am seeing so far, and I will be honest with everyone if it does not turn out to be for me I will say why it was not i tend not to blow smoke up peoples behind
  16. I am trying to figure out a way to respond to you with out starting a long debate in his video but I seen two things 1st one he stated he set the recovery speed at 5 on the Legend which from my understanding is factory default, but yet he set the Nox at 3 or 4 in my opinion he should have set everything up equal nox set at 3 and 4 Legend set at 3 or 4 on recovery speed, he then set the Legend in the stability setting to 5 which it clearly states in the manual that a stability setting of 5 the legend is not going to see as deep, so with those to settings alone the Legend was set up to not see as deep as the Nox already, there are several videos out that clearly shows the Legend runs smooth on beaches, personally I do not know what other people are tweaking in the Legend to run quiet but there are a lot of people out there that is saying the legend runs as unstable or as stable as you want it to run, I personally can not say because I have yet to have one in my hands which that will change today because mine is supposed to be delivered today, as for the Deus 2 I personally could care less how the legend compares to a $1600 detector
  17. you can find other videos that completely dispute what calabash showed
  18. Me also I am going to give props where props are due I sent a PM to Dilek on Facebook and ask her if she could give a update as to when the PRO PACKs were expected to be shipped she responded back to me which I then suggested that she do an update on face book so it did not sound like a rumor coming from me which apparently she agreed with what I said and then the next day posted up the update she impressed me very much by actually responding to me and then implemented the update that laddie must be tireless because she made the update while on a trip to Germany for a metal detecting expo Thank you Dilek
  19. for anyone that has ordered the Legend Pro Pack Dilek posted on face book they are being shipped out tomorrow just thought people would like a bit of info
  20. did you order a pro pack or standard package just curious
  21. don't know all I can tell you is what he stated on a video before he ever received the Legend he did not only drop it several time he threw it and drop kicked it would you ever do that with any detector not me i don't care how well they say they are built some of his videos are pretty crazy to say the least
  22. Phrunt as far as I know paystreak superfreak purchased the Legend as per his statement quite awhile back, I watched that first video of his unboxing and thought what the heck why would someone do that, but he did prove one thing if the legend can with stand that abuse it must be built good if you look at all his videos he is pretty dang rough with his detectors its crazy
  23. That is correct also seen that on treasure net
