I have used mine a good bit on busy sites. It is every bit as good if not better as the KR24 I have for my Anfibio & the 5X8 on my AT Max. You will like it. I find myself using the LG30 the most.

What Is The Percent Of Male To Female Metal Detectorists?
JCR replied to TreasureHunter5's topic in Meet & Greet
Both my grown daughters detect, usually with me on visits home. My wife has gone also a few times. -
Welcome from East Texas. I still have all of my subscription issues of Western Eastern Treasures magazine. Once upon a time they were my main source of information. Glad to have this forum but still miss a real magazine.

Europes Largest Metal Detector Distributor Gives Minelab The Boot
JCR replied to phrunt's topic in Detector Prospector Forum
Don't forget the upcoming release of the Rutus Versa. If it is priced right they may pick up some distributors and make some inroads in the market. -
So I assume this means you can adjust the volume of each component(Motion/Static All Metal & Motion Disc tone) of the Mixed mode as well as the sensitivity & other parameters?
-
@EL NINO77 Is it possible to for the Versa's Mixed Mode to be true stereo so that with headphones the All Metal channel is in one ear & the Disc tone in the Other? That would be a huge benefit. The Tarsacci Mixed mode is not and the All Metal overpowers the Disc tone. Still useful but it could be so much better if it was stereo and each channel volume was independent.
-
Given the supposed capability based on prior units(Alter 71 & Atrex) and the very high degree of adjustability to suit advanced users, it will be a top tier detector. Features like True threshold based All Metal & Mixed Mode aren't even offered by other major manufacturers. If it is introduced at a reasonable price it will be a formidable competitor and their Dealer network will expand. They have contracted to have it produced in a very modern facility that should have any needed production capacity. It may be like the Whites VCi3 or even Deus and seem too complicated to many but there are enough serious detector cranks in the world to make it a success. I intend to give it serious consideration since many of my sites on on difficult ground. I already have enough high performance daily drivers. Having something that can really push the boundaries would be interesting & fun. It may still be a while before Nokta introduces their PI & the Axiom is too much for me to justify.

Nokta has been touting their no charge/free updates in their marketing. This has not been ignored by other manufacturers.

We have "Buffalo Gnats" here at this time of year. They are very small & come in swarms. Their bite will instantly swell and itch for several hours. They love your ears, elbows, the corner of your eye and anywhere else that is hard to reach to swat. I much prefer plain hungry mosquitoes. I have a mesh veil hat too!

Chase, Your perception/thought process should hold true even if there are some differences in the filtering/processing of the signal between the search programs that are unknown. This added ability to limit the max frequency is going to prove very useful for users that take the time to "think" out how they approach a site based on actual conditions. Wet, conductive ground, especially combined with high mineralization or heavy decomposed iron(rusty ground) is a real challenge many do not consider enough. When you get your Program table in a more finalized form showing the possible combinations you will have a powerful tool.

As Jeff & others have said. I have found no practical difference in fringe depth between the various Tone options. Each is effective depending on the site conditions and especially the user. It is a very good thing to have so many options available on a detector.

What Influences Your New Detector Purchase?
JCR replied to bigtim1973's topic in Metal Detector Advice & Comparisons
I agree that this Forum in particular, and a few others are very helpful as a source of information. Some other Forums & much on Social Media is lightweight & uninformed. It is like anything else, if you pay attention you can sort the serious from the noise pretty quick. -
Thanks for the English subtitles.

Upgraded Legend Vs Older Model With Round Coil
JCR replied to bigtim1973's topic in Nokta / Makro Legend Forum
You are correct on the difference. The LG30 was introduced to offer better separation along with lighter weight without losing ground coverage. The design of the LG24 was probably the original idea. The older stock LG28 is a very good coil & a little deeper than the LG30. I intend to get the new CF shaft & arm cuff. I already have all the coils including the big LG35 which is excellent. -
@EL NINO77 Is the Versa to be considered an upgrade in performance over the Atrex? I look forward to your review of it.

Three very nice finds.
