Something is not right. The Tones should be nice & clean. Hopefully it will get right with a FD reset or updates. I need you to wring that machine out in your hot dirt!🙂

Excellent

Glad you are able to get in on a good opportunity window.

Welcome from East Texas.

As you use the bigger LG35 you will get better on your pinpoints. If you shorten the shaft an inch or two the coil will not seem any heavier than the stock LG28. This will also help on more accurate pinpointing. The LG35 is an excellent coil all around.

Very true but not as well known as it should be. The woodland Indians of East Texas had a very valuable commodity, Salt. This was traded for things they did not have locally like knapping stone. I have a beautiful arrow point made of Black Obsidian that I found on our farm when I was a teenager. Far West Texas is the closest place where this volcanic glass occurs, about 800 miles from here with a lot of not much for half of the distance even today.

There have been a few posts on various forums mentioning scratchy sounding audio after updating to V1.11. Seems something may go sideways. The fix has been to Factory Default reset the detector then re Install the V1.11 update & do another FD reset. Have you also done the Threshold update?

That's a lot of coins dug & some vintage paraphernalia too.

Yep, railroad track tie plate. It may have some stamping on it.

Welcome to the Forum @John Oliver Keep us up to speed on your experiences.

Welcome from East Texas.

Yes .45 ACP, Frankfort Arsenal 1943. Ladies makeup compact, possibly "Ashes" brand. I also see you got an old Schrieder valve stem nut. Good assortment hunt.

V1.11 for Russian not yet, only V1.09.

Now back to Daniel.🙂

Very good.

That is one of the prettiest rings I have seen in a while. Great to learn your machine.

I think all the coils available have their strengths & place. A couple of Concentrics would be nice. My last three Seated coins were all Dimes. 1876 was in the best condition. I would like to find a Half Dime too.

That LG 30 12X9 is a very good coil & it's lighter, but the stock LG 28 is also very good & deeper. If you decide the Legend is a keeper I would highly recommend the LG 24 and the LG 35 coils too.(I have all 5) There are enough adjustments on a V1.11 Legend to keep a tweaker happy in any situation.

We are an impatient bunch & just want to hear you do well with it. I know you certainly have the detecting skill set to get the most out of any machine. I want to see how it does in your hot red dirt. When you power the detector on, the version will appear briefly in the top right corner.

The Stability adjustment in Beach mode is to address Salt/Conductivity falsing. It would have to be very small Gold to be effected. The User Manual mentions around TID 11 if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the story. That dirt doesn't look too bad. What firmware version is your Legend running? I assume you have just the stock LG28 11" round coil.

Good on you and the Tejon.
