Dear Valued Members, Soon to be released 1.08 update will include the following: 1. Iron Filter (Iron Bias) and Stability settings have been added. When the device is working in Multi frequency, select the Recovery Speed setting and press the pinpoint button. Iron Filter (IF) setting ranges between 1-8 and the default value is 8. DEFAULT VALUE 8 IS THE SAME AS THE CURRENT LEGEND WITH NO IRON FILTER SETTING. Lower IF setting will increase the chances of ferrous targets to be classified as non-ferrous targets and vice versa. St setting is the fine tuning for the IF setting. When the IF is set to 8, the St setting will be inactive in the Park, Field and Gold Field modes. When the IF is set to any value below 8, the St setting can be activated by pressing the right or left button and can be adjusted by using the + and - buttons. NOTE: THE st SETTING IN THE BEACH MODE IS DIFFERENT THAN THIS NEW st SETTING! 2. Multi 3 (M3) has been added to PARK and FIELD modes. Ideal for humid, wet and/or conductive soils. It eliminates the moisture in the soils which can cause falses. It also weakens the response of targets generating 10-11 IDs such as coke and aluminum foil. 3. The selected setting in the settings menu will now blink for easier viewing. 4. Mute function has been added. On the main screen, press and hold the Frequency button to mute the device. Letters "AO" (Audio Off) will appear on the right side. You can unmute by pressing and holding the Frequency button. Even if muted, the device will revert back to unmute in the custom discrimination pattern (notch), ground balance and settings menus automatically. 5. Auto sensitivity drop in the custom discrimination pattern When you select the custom discrimination pattern (notch), the sensitivity drops down to 5 automatically. However, if you are using the automatic notch, you may not want the sensitivity to be lowered. In this case, press the Ground Balance button once to revert back to the current sensitivity. Letters "CS" (current sensitivity) will be displayed on the right side. 6. Hearing the audio through the speaker and the Bluetooth headphones at the same time When the Bluetooth setting is selected, if the Bluetooth HPs are paired, press the up button and select 2. 7. Reverting Back to Factory Defaults After selecting the user profile in the settings menu, press and hold the pinpoint button until letters Fd appear on screen. Fd will disappear after 2 seconds. 8. Audio Gain setting has been added. In the PARK, FIELD and BEACH modes, after selecting the volume, press the pinpoint button. Letters AG will appear on the right side. You can adjust the AG using the + and – buttons between 1-6. The default value is set to 3. 9. VCO Tone Pitch has been added In Tone Pitch, as the coil approaches the target, the audio frequency will change in proportion to the signal strength. It can be selected from the number of tones setting and is shown with a P. 10. Discrimination Pattern is now saved. Default discrimination pattern for PARK, FIELD, and BEACH has been defined as “F (Ferro-off)” and as “G (Ground-off)” in the Gold Field Mode. 11. Mineralization Indicator In the ground balance menu, press the discrimination button to activate the mineralization indicator. Letter GI (Ground Indicator) will appear on the right side. When you press the discrimination button again, it will revert back to Ferro Check and FC will appear. 12. The default threshold frequency level in Park, Field and Beach modes have been changed to 10. 13. Threshold parameters have been updated in the Park, Field and Beach modes. 14. Audio during ground balancing has been updated. https://www.facebook.com/noktadetect...35000278261127 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZqqKz4reAg&t=40s

Yep - my guess only - end of May - early June! Don't quote me on it though:-)

Hi there..you can connect it when they are fully charged, no worries. Think of the external battery as a powerbank charging your internal battery! Hope this helps.

If you have any issues updating your Legend, please read the troubleshooting guide below: TROUBLESHOOTING Windows 1. Disable your antivirus program. 2. Plug the device into a different USB port, if your computer has more than one, to see if the problem is specific to one port. 3. The right drivers must be installed – Go to www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers and install the driver according to your computer’s operating system. 4. Type "Control Panel" into the Windows search bar and select Control Panel. Go to Power Options > Change Plan Settings > Change advanced power settings. Find USB Settings, then drill down to USB selective suspend setting. Disable the options next to On battery and Plugged in, then click Apply. You must then restart your PC to stop it from turning off the USB ports unnecessarily. MacOS 1. Disable your antivirus program. 2. Plug the device into a different USB port, if your computer has more than one, to see if the problem is specific to one port. 3. The right drivers must be installed – Go to www.silabs.com/developers/usb-to-uart-bridge-vcp-drivers and install the driver according to your computer’s operating system. 4.

Hello all... THIS QUESTION IS DIRECTED TO LEGEND USERS ONLY: As we are working on the next update, please list the items you would like to be added / changed in the Legend (NO NEED TO MENTION IRON BIAS AS THAT IS ALREADY PART OF THE LIST). You can also list any accessory requests. Once we gather this information, we will focus on those that are requested by the majority of users (not limited to this forum) and will try our best to give them to our valued users. THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION! Dilek

Can you expand on the inline part? You mean you attach the pinpointer to the device?

Hello all.... copied all the posts in a word document and will go through them myself first and then share with the engineers. A few questions - 1) IS GPS NECESSARY/BENEFICIAL ON A PI UNIT? 2) IS COLOR SCREEN MORE PREFERRED? ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES 3) ARE YOU OK WITH AN EXTERNAL CABLE AROUND THE SHAFT? 4) COILS - SIZES AND SHAPES (3 PLEASE) 5) IS 10 FT WATERPROOF GOOD ENOUGH? PS. Sorry if any of these were mentioned already in the posts.... did not read them all yet.

Hello all.... I am way too busy to go through each and every comment. Can somebody summarize what is expected?

The update version is 1.05 and this update includes features and/or improvements which are not included in the user manual or differ from the explanations in the manual. Updates Made : 1. Pinpoint function has been improved. 2. M 1 Multi Frequency parameters have been updated. 3. Audio alert for Automatic Frequency Shift (Noise Cancellation) completion has been extended. 4. Factory default Tone Break value has been changed from 11 to 10 in Park mode. 5. Ferrous Off Discrimination Pattern has been updated to reject IDs between 1-10 in Park & Field modes. 6. Threshold audio level has been increased in Gold mode. 7. Audio response during ground balancing in Gold mode has been updated. 8. Backlight levels have been re-configured. 9. Bugs have been fixed. The second update will come in the upcoming weeks including an iron bias setting as well as beach advancements and any other suggestions we get from the actual users that we can implement. THANK YOU!

We do have a LG24 (9.5''X5.5'') in the works... other considerations are 9'' round and 12x9 or 10x7 elliptical...

No need to thank me... we thank you because you are the customer who is willing to spend money on our product and you have the right to get an answer to your question. I try my best to respond to every direct message and email although I must admit that sometimes I do forget or miss some as I get wat too many of them on a daily basis... I do like to interact with the actual end users and not only with distributors.

OFFICIAL MESSAGE TO GARRETT We are saddened to hear that Mrs. Garrett passed away on Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Eleanor and Charles Garrett made great contributions to this industry! Our sincere condolonces to the whole Garrett family and the community. May God rest their souls together in peace! https://obits.dallasnews.com/us/obituaries/dallasmorningnews/name/eleanor-garrett-obituary?id=33474638

ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND NOKTA MAKRO I THANK YOU! IT TAKES COURAGE AND SELF CONFIDENCE TO SAY ''IT WAS MY FAULT'' IN TODAY'S WORLD! THE 6'' COIL WILL BE NOKTA MAKRO'S GIFT TO YOU FOR DOING THE RIGHT THING. WE APPRECIATE IT.

Hi there.... I got an email from the poster of the video: ''I have deleted this video and have made this right with another video showing the tone break tips. And Calabash is deleting his video of my clips too. I am getting away with the tone break at 9 and am having great results. I am sorry about the commotion. We are all learning with this machine and it is a powerful machine. Just a little adjustments to some settings will increase the odds at getting small gold with all machines. I can't wait for the 6" coil...it should be very fun. Keep smiling and cheers.'' THANK YOU!!

Dear Abenson, I have the most respect for all the members of this group and I am sorry if my post seemed like I was trying to set anybody straight.... was not the intent at all but it is getting very tiring to try correcting all this misinformation! The machine is reacting the way it should to ID 11. So when the machine is working perfectly fine, it is a bit upsetting to see people referring to it as an ''issue''. It is all about learning the machine and reading the manual...

HELLO ALL! THERE IS NO ISSUE! PLEASE STOP MAKING INACCURATE COMMENTS/CONCLUSIONS ON THE LEGEND. 1) READ THE MANUAL!! 2) IN THE VIDEO ABOVE: 1) THERE IS NO BOTTLE CAP REJECTION ON THE MACHINE! 2) PARK MODE IS DESIGNED FOR COIN AND JEWELRY HUNTING IN URBAN AREAS AND PARKS WHERE THERE ARE LOTS OF MODERN TRASH (ALUMINUM FOIL, PULL-TABS, BOTTLE CAPS ETC.) PRESENT. THIS MODE IS OPTIMIZED FOR MID TO LARGE COINS AND JEWELRY. THE DEFAULT DISCRIMINATION IS SET TO REJECT TARGET IDS UP TO AND INCLUDING 11 TO ELIMINATE IRON AS WELL AS ALUMINUM FOIL. IF YOU SET THE TONE BREAK TO 10, THEN YOU WILL GET A NON-FERROUS TONE FOR THAT TARGET!!!

I do sleep little...that's for sure:-) With all the time differences between the countries, sleeping more makes it hard for me to be efficient. The Legend likes workouts:-)

Hi there!!! As we have also incorporated a new setting for the beach, please ask me if you have any questions! Enjoy!

I know Steve is the best choice! But I don't know if he would want to, we will ask him anyways! Who knows, he may agree to it.

He is not a gold prospector.

Hello all! For our future PI, if you were to pick 2 testers (one from USA and 1 from AU) who would you suggest (other than yourself:-) ?

Why we did not want to include it in the beginning is explained by a very experienced detectorist at the link below and I will leave it here.
