I mostly just dredge with my 2" dredge, but i think i will start pulling weeds. You got more than i do when i dredge.

Is that out of rock or metal? I think i would have it tested by someone that can tell you about it. Looks cool, 

I have used alot of detectors, and over the last 20 years i have found more rings and money with the MXT than any other detector i have used. I have two MXTs now and if i find a good deal on a used one i will buy it. The last ones i am trying now is the Anfibio, Vanquish 450, I had a F75 and sold it before i used it. Now i am looking to get another one. As long as i detector i will always have a MXT. I do alot of treading and selling, that is fun for me.

Thanks F350, I was 17 years old when i tryed to get in the Army and they said i was 80 to 90% deaf then. Now i have had 4 pair of aids and still getting worse. I got a Anfibio tthat has Viberration, that helps alot.  Thanks for the feed back, Dean

okie, how do these work, do they viberate on your head or what? I have very bad hearing and have hearing aids in broth ears. Do these cover your ears?  thanks Dean

And how it would help the fish population, They think they are smart to stop dredge to help fish, they don't know they need spots to lay eggs in deeper water, 

Very nice store, You just need to find some nice gold claims to lease, and rent to us dumb butts that don't know how to go about that. That way you can make money with your store and on the claims. We can rent a week or two from you every summer .

Hi Valens, i don't have the trouble someone on Finds forum was wanting to know about the Vanquish detector. I will tell them to check MineLab.  Dean

I think i seen someone said there was a place in the USA that worked on Vanquish detectors , If so can you put that back up? i can't find it now. Someone on Finds forum wanted to know.  Thanks  Dean

Those look like good plugers the plug maker may need to be a little longer.

Stainless Steel coated with 925. 

THANKS , i HAVE ONE ON THE WAY, Wiz, what setting do you use?  I hope it will find small gold, i know the parks has to be full of small gold,  

Hi all, Has anyone hunted for jewelry withthe Vanquish 440 detector?  I have other detectors but just ordered a 440, to see how a Muti detector will work. I have always used Whites and Fisher detectors and want to see how a MineLab works. Never had MineLab before, some say muti works better. Maybe some help , will help me.  Thanks  Dean

Hi Jeff, If you get time can you try the vibberaition setting on the Legend. I have very bad hearing and that was one thing that got me to order a Legend. Thanks  Dean

Has anyone seen anything about the Legend? I seen where Calabash got his. Hope he post some videos about it. I have not been keeping up with it, dose anyone know anything more than 2 weeks ago? Weather getting good here, need to start finding some rings and coins. Thanks  Dean

The best thing about the TRX is it points mostly on the tip, I don't like the ones that gose off on the sides. If you have a target in the side of a hole, it takes alot longer to find with a side pointer. The TRX will let you know if not in the bottom of hole.

I for one am glad they are making it right before they ship it to USA. Think what it would cost to have to ship your detector back to get something fixed that can't be down loaded. I want a Legend, but i want it to be the best it can be before i get it. I sold my XP Deus 1, but i can go back with my MXT and hunt until i get the perfect Legend get here.  Just me, everyone is like kids at Chirstmas, but if you know you are going to get a broke toy, that kills everything. 

Thanks guys, I was thinking it might just hit big or shllow targets. I hope it gets to US. before long. I am 70 years old and might not have much time left, if i go i want to go detecting. Thanks so much, i will get on a waiting list.  If you find out any more, post it and i will see it. Thanks  Dean

Dose anyone that has tested the Legend know if the viberiton  works on small targets. I have very bad hearing and have aids in broth ears, and have trouble hearing low  hits on reg. detectors. I have the XP Deus 1, and afriend has one he always ask if i can hear targets he gets and i can't hear them. I was thinking about the Legend and that might help if it will viberate on deep targets.  I think i am asking this right, thanks for any help.  Dean

Today I tried to force myself to use the Xpointer only. I had the Propointer AT with me.

Would I rely completely on the Xpointer, and not use the Carrot?

The answer is no, because I have hundreds of hours on the Propointer AT, and I have learned automatic procedures to ensure it functions properly. I have always located my target. I point it at my shovel after turning it on.

I also found out something today that bothers me a bit. The Xpointer in air tests did indeed locate targets before the Propointer. However, in the ground it does not. 🤔 I can't explain it more simply, if anyone wants to take a stab at complicating it go ahead. 😀 There were times it found nothing and the Propointer found the target. There was never an instance of the Propointer not finding something.

I finally was able to tame the "boost mode" somewhat, but I found it more accurate in "high".

The takeaway is this so far:

The Xpointer will indeed tell you which target in the hole is the "good" one. Almost always. Almost. It struggled a bit with targets close to ferrous like lead, or stuff with iron attached.

The Xpointer will point more directly at your target than the Propointer. Nothing wastes your time more than searching and pointing on all angles, if you're on it you get a signal.

I'll be using it a lot more, water tests coming soon. I like it but I don't love it. It's a great tool to have.

 

I liked the Whites TRX, but lost mine,that is another story, It pointed deep and on the point, not 360% . I have hit small targets and dig hole to deep, the propointer will keep going off make you think the target is in the bottom of hole. I hate that. Need just the tip to point, is there any pointers that just point on the tip?  Thankd  Dean

I was thinking "you must be new here" but now I see you have one of the earliest "Joined" dates I've ever seen. 

Here is the Nokta/Makro subforum where there has been considerable discussion on the Legend.  (Scroll down to see various threads).  The forum you (and now I) posted on has some comparison info, too.

The XP Deus II release has stolen a lot of thunder from the N/M Legend's imminent(?) release.  But the Legend also has some detectorists excited.  Note the Deus II costs twice what the Legend does so expecting or even hoping that the Legend will be as good may be asking too much.  We will know more about both in a few months -- just in time for the arrival of warm weather detecting season in much of the USA.

 

I have been here awhile but don,t post much. I think i learn more by just keeping quit than talking much. I really like this forum, alot of good info. Sorry i posted in wrong place. Will keep reading, Thanks  Dean

HAS ANYONE BEEN KEEPING UP WITH THE N/M Legend ? I think it is being held up trying to up date to the Deus 11. I am waiting to see how it will compare to the Deus 11 When it comes out. If it is as good at half the price, it will take over. I have very bad hearing and the vibrating part looks good to me. I had the Deus 1 or first, what ever you want to call it. I could not hear signals my friend would get on his. I hope the vibrating part works on deep targets. What dose everyone think of the Legend?  thanks  Dean

I have aids in my ear, all the time when i was 17 teen, i tryed to get in the army and was told i was 80% to 90% deaf, I always knew i was not very smart, but didn't know that it was because i couldn't hear in school. I am almost 69 years old now and it don't matter that i can't here. No one can use my headphones for they are to loud. I have trouble with ground balance, i can't here the tones. I still do ok, i have alot of rings. Good Luck  Dean

Thanks Sven1,

Hi Seven, you think this would work on the Vanquish? I just got one today and it has rained all day. I would like to try this on it. Mine is the 440, not with wireless headphones. I may not like it, if not, it will go down the road. Thanks  Dean
