How do you return to 1.13? I'm only seeing where you can update to the latest version.

Welcome. It might be a key or baggage tag from the Bay State House Hotel, Worcester Mass. https://www.ebay.com/itm/160646045224

Generally, it does although sometimes improvements can change things. Details of each update are listed here. https://www.noktadetectors.com/the-legend-software-update/

I don't see how the latest updates/improvements and the addition of Beast Mode could detract from the performance in any way. Every update seems to be headed in a good direction. I see no reason to go backward.

If you are referring to the first video, the Beast Mode demonstration video had not been released yet.

Yes. That's what I did. I tested after and could see the on-screen changes.

They call it a Gold/Relic detector but no mention of how it will perform on wet ocean sand. I guess the beach hunters will have to wait until someone buys one and actually tests it on the beach. If waterproofing is the only reason then they are passing up a large percentage of potential buyers. As I've said many times, most beach hunters never submerse the detector and don't require it to be waterproof. Waterproofing adds significantly to the cost. They should give us the choice of waterproof or water resistant.

Thanks for posting that.

Yes, IR is a very useful feature. Without it, all metals would sound the same. The problem I was having was with the loudness. Nonferrous was like a quiet little mouse compared to ferrous. The funny thing is I just tried it again and the problem seems to have corrected itself. Now nonferrous is coming through loud and clear. Hopefully the problem is solved.

So far I haven't gotten Beast Mode to show any performance advantage. I have several fringe depth targets in my test garden but Field Mode picks them up better than Beast Mode. I've also been noticing that ferrous signals sound louder than nonferrous signals. Is this normal?

With Beast Mode being a multi-frequency function, I wonder how much the performance depends on the level of mineralization in the ground. Those with mild soil conditions may discover little or no benefit in Beast Mode.

That's pretty much what I experienced. No sound on nonferrous but like I said in my previous post, updating a second time seemed to correct it. I'm going to do some testing today and see how it does.

When I first updated the Legend to 1.14, Beast Mode would only respond to ferrous metals and was completely silent over nonferrous. In other words, it would pick up iron but not coins. After trying everything and using it in the test garden a few times, I decided to update it a second time. This seems to have corrected the problem. Beast Mode responds to all metals but now I'm noticing that ferrous sounds louder than nonferrous. Nails are much louder than coins compared to the other modes. Is this normal? In Park, Field, and Beach, ferrous and nonferrous have an equal loudness but with Beast Mode, nonferrous sounds quieter than the surrounding iron with no apparent way to separately adjust the volumes. Is anyone else experiencing this?

The 15 X 12 SEF was killer on my T2. Added inches more depth over the stock coil. Light and well-balanced too.

I just got a Nokta Accupoint and am very happy with it. Easy to use settings. Full-color screen. I like that it has different sounds for ferrous/nonferrous. BlueTooth is there if you need it or just leave it turned off.
