  1. Nothing like my Explorer se to properly ID trash and find silver coins in a very trashy area. Don't have to dig it all to find out what you've found. Long live FBS Technology with a small Sunray coil. Nice.
  2. Too much of a good think is not always a good thing. It's great to update but at the risk of making a great machine complicated for some. But if this is The Flagship, so be it.
  3. On one of my old (1820} permissions. Say no to Mercury Dimes.
  4. The 60 happens every time when the coil is placed flat on the ground with my Legend. I also noticed a slight delay when the signal has been processed. Maybe it's me being Ancient. ?
  5. The number 60 will appear if you place your coil flat on the ground. This could be the cause of an issue stating the Legend, when you scrub the ground has problems detecting objects but when you provide an air gap it may pick up the object. AKA, when using the deep mode must have an air gap to work properly. The D2 also must have an air gap using the relic program. Please try this and let me know if your Legend reads 60 when you place the coil flat on the ground. Just a thought. Thanks
  6. Trying to make customers happy is certainly not an easy thing to do. Kudos Dilek.
  7. Not unusual. A very early lesson to learn. Go back and find some crap. Maybe she would not be so interested. You spent money for your equipment, gas to get there and some snacks. Whatever you decide I can respect what you did. Keep that Reale in your pocket. Good luck.
  8. Filled up a museum with my old 4900.Having tested hundreds of detectors from around the world in the last 53+ years that's too tough to call.
  9. Disc. pattern on six, 2 tone, set tone one to the lowest setting and tone 2 the highest. Beach program, dry beach. Now I hunt colonial relics and coins in mineralized soil. If I was a park hunter this set up really breaks up on rusty bottle caps. Signals pop. Fun and simple to try. Just a heads up on the ferro check feature. I have dug both ferrous and nonferrous in the same hole when the meter shows both.
  10. I say no. "YOU THE OPERATOR" did not find the target while using a Legend. Too many factors involved in making that statement. Genius.
  11. With social media being the way companies must advertise now they will have to pick carefully whose hands they put a detector into. Besides us old guys don't know what we are talking about. I think a half century +3 equals 53 you tube hits. Hope your well Steve.
  12. Relic Hunting in the iron has presented no issues. Maybe Nokta can make a "Hypersonic Legend" for the jittery guy. Oh my!
  13. Lynchburg, Mechanicsville or Manassas? All folks I have known for up to 40+ years.
  14. Sentimental but still one of my favorites. BBS Technology. Killer for gold rings on the beach and Civil War buckles and plates. Says no to large iron. I never left home without it in the early 90's. Just got it off flea bay. Nice!
  15. Just find the best settings for your sites and conditions. I would stay away from youtube users of this product. You have got a manual so read it. Everyone wants to fast track. Get's you knowhere even faster. . That's about all I will say.
  16. Why bring Jesus into this mess. That man has enough problems to consider.
  17. I'm tired. Time to go away until I learn more. Take care.
  18. Central Va. is all about the Geology. My crushed basalt driveway goes right to 60 when you place the stock coil on it. Another slab, (Not basalt) reads in the low 20s but when you GB it GB at 81. When I GB the crushed driveway it reads 3. Nice. Enter the wet beach program. Seems to handle the bedrocks allot better after the initial ground balance which was zero. Oh my. My next trip I will use the stock coil and use Wet Beach. Did those tube people every here of turning down the sensitivity?
  19. The basalt base never has liked a multi frequency. Neither does the Legend. Reads 60 when it gets close to the surface, However I only use detectors in the Goldfield mode at these sites and that did the trick using 20khz and Fi disc. pattern. I dug one impressive target that was at pinpointer length with the 5 inch coil. A parasol ring came up. Did not dig any target with a number under 30 as these are mostly foil and small lead. Thats about it for now. Whoever thinks the detector is to slow to react in wall to wall iron certainly needs some more time using the detector. Hope you did well. Let us know. Thanks
  20. I live south of Culpeper so not as hot. I only use a PI in Culpeper or my Blisstool.
