One of the parks I hunt has emi but not always. Some days in the past I just had to leave others it wasn’t there at all. The city power plant isn’t far away and I always wondered if it was the culprit.

the factory reset is the first thing I did once I was able to get the new update installed it only took me 17 hours to get the new update to finally install on my two Legend and there is no rhyme or reason as to why it finally did install, I can tell you it was not user error

Our last computer loaded both the updates on both our machines. The one I have now wouldn’t. I saw no valid port so many times I was.. lol, anyways took it to the guy I got it from and he installed a different driver for the USB ports and boom, loaded right up. My son when I told him I was having trouble did his at his house. Computers can be frustrating for sure. Sorry you had trouble, glad it’s installed. I thought I heard that “whew finally” all the way here in swmo. lol

I reset tonight after updating yesterday, I hope it's the same, I did it on all 4 available profiles.
Or do I have to do it immediately after the update?

Should be fine. Just trying to run old saved programs with out doing the factory default reset was the problem.

and please don't fail to read the instructions (especially that particular one) and then post videos about issues with the Legend 1.08 update within minutes of doing the update. I know Dirt Fishing (Bill) didn't mean to make the Legend and Nokta Makro look bad but this once again has really stirred up a hornet's nest on other forums, YouTube sites and Facebook, mostly from people that are not Legend owners and are Nokta Makro haters for lack of a better word.

yep, you said it. I really thought he should have deleted that video after realizing what he had done but it was still up this morning.

After installing the new 1.08 update don’t miss the line in red letters under the link to the update that says do a reset to factory defaults after you install the update. It’s important so the machine functions properly. 

Thanks for sharing Jeff. 

Thank you!!

We will see when V1.08 is release, but I am curious if the new adjustable Iron Filter & the Stability settings effect the FerroCheck response.

Good question. Perhaps one of the testers will check that out.

To be clear, Simon, they weren’t saying IB wasn’t needed they were saying an IB adjustment setting wasn’t needed because the IB default was optimal. They did incorporate an Iron Bias filter from the get go, you just couldn’t fine tune it. And, yes, no one should have taken you to task for pointing that out to them. 

But here’s the more concerning thing…

The discussion of the update by Dilek and the Iffy Signals testing described by Jeff above clearly shows the illogic in Nokta’s original stance that no IB/IF adjustment was necessary.  Namely, they apparently hard coded the Iron Bias/Iron Filter default to a MAXIMUM level!  Not a split the difference/middle of the road value as you would have expected.  The default IB/IF setting is 8 (and Dilek clearly stated in the FB update video that this corresponds to the IB/IF filter strength hard coded default setting in in all pre 1.08 firmware versions).  That’s really incredible and concerning all at once.

As you can see from the Iffy Signals testing, this setting introduces some really unnecessary non-ferrous masking.

So OF COURSE the user should be able to dial back IB/IF to trade masking for falsing and vice versa.

Jeff, any idea whether Iffy varied the IF stability (ST) parameter setting  and if so how varying it affected the masking/falsing  at IF levels less than 7.

Haven’t seen the Iffy Signals video, but if I just read your written account of the IF testing, and I’m struggling to understand the purpose of setting IF >1 at all if the end user was not experiencing any falsing whatsoever on the nail.  Why take the risk of masking any target by setting IB > 1?

Again, I haven’t viewed the video, but a more effective and informative test would be to find an iron target that readily falses at minimum IB/IF settings, then increase IB/IF until the target stops falsing.  Then run a test where you introduce an adjacent non-ferrous target and then see how far you can run up IB/IF until the 

Hey Chase,  just a thought. The iron filter being set at eight may not be the max they could have made it but where they thought would be optimal in most hunting scenarios. Basically, the update was a you can cut it back(iron filter) and fine tune it(stability) but you can’t make it more update. I don’t think anyone was wanting more anyway. I’m glad we can adjust it but I’m very happy with the finds I’m getting now. 
 Watching the testers videos will give me a good starting point to go from if I get into some heavy iron patches. 
 I’m just trying to figure out why I haven’t bought another one for a backup. I’ve sold both my other machines. lol 
  

Congrats on your first civil war button! 

Yes, hopefully it’s just an oversight. You wouldn’t think a water proof machine would have that written like that in the warranty. 

Deus2 warranty.  Hmmm I hope I don’t get any water ingress…appears it’s not covered under the warranty. Maybe I need that explained better. 

Very nice hunt! Congratulations on the old wheat and v-nickel. It’s a great feeling finding something you’ve never found before. You’re doing what you need to do to learn a machine and that’s dig a lot of targets to see what it’s saying. Good job! 

I use lavender oil spray on our dog all the time and on me when I go into the woods. It’s a little more expensive but it seems to work very well and there are no toxic chemicals. One of God’s natural repellents for ticks and fleas.

Nice relic day! The watch fob is cool. They’re fun to find.

I like the nine and the thirteen combo till at some point (age/health) the thirteen gets to heavy for me. 
 In my soil the thirteen although maybe only a couple inches is deeper. No air tests just the finds on deeper coins found in the wild. Two inches is paramount in some locations between finding nothing or having a fun day. 
 

I got my Deus2 with the nine inch. I had the nine and thirteen x-35’s for my deus1. I’ll probably pick up the D2 thirteen at some point. I had no problem swinging the large coil so that combo worked well for me. 

Aaron, thanks for the video. My D2 is supposed to be here Sat.
 I was wondering when I watched the results of the nickel under the bottle cap. The tarasacci didn’t change much and the D2 didn’t get it at all. After you lowered the bc reject the d2 started hitting it. I noticed you mentioned the ferrous meter in the caption on the d2. I’m assuming it was giving a non ferrous reading? Also I was wondering what the d2 would do at the setting of bc1 with out the nickel there. Just curious. Thanks again for taking the time to do the tests and sharing the video. 
HH, Tom
 

Cool find!

Congrats on getting into the 1800’s and with a barber no less! You have some nice finds as well.

Those are NICE! I looked at some auctions and even with environmental damage if it graded vg which the guy said it would could be upward of $400 at auction. I saw one go for upper half of 5. All that said it's not for sale and this coin man is according to the interweb top tier. Charles with alabama silver and gold huntsville alabama. I bought a purple hue ms66 from him a few years back. He also told me of several hundred I wasted once "fakes" back in my early coin days! I'm not from Huntsville just tend to be around these parts for work often and I just email him pics, hes long forgotten me and has no complaints to give coin info albeit no holds barred opinion you will recieve!

Thanks!  I was very happy with the two key barbers  I found but you found “the key barber” !! That was an awesome find for sure!! 
 I would for sure have a value written down for that so  in the future family will know what it’s worth. Coins like that don’t come along very often. Happy for ya!!

Sweet! That makes it a good hunt! 😁

Commonwealthdetector,

   I have a friend that’s a dealer and he said the same thing about the environmental damage. I took a 92s and a 76cc dime to him to give me a value on them. That’s when I found out these guys so worried about rubbing the dirt off were  just fooling themselves. The coins already damaged from being in the ground a hundred years or more. Rubbing the dirt off isn’t really going to make much if any difference at all. I did also find an 01s barber last year.

  We don’t get to choose what we’re gonna find so congratulations on a key barber dime! Awesome find!!

 HH!! Tom

Ok Jeff, here’s a thought. If you look at the locations that the most gold targets fall in. What would you say to playing an odds game and notching the other numbers out and digging those numbers that it seems a lot of gold falls into? You would leave a lot out.. dig less holes but perhaps increase your odds of digging gold. Thinking bout trying that sometime.😁

Wow! Congrats on finding the other spur.
