They are the Nokta Macro field reps around the world and they are product testers and the Go-To folk for answers. On the N/M site go to the NM club at the top and navigate down to the Nomads. I know a few of them.

My machine has a factory program in slot 14 that says FAST 40. I cannot find any information on it anywhere. I tested it and it seems like a Fast program on steroids. Very accurate separation and target ID!!! I tested with a silver quarter surrounded by flat iron nails. Anyone have any info on this?

I read that too on another forum. XP stated that each frequency in FMS mode would require individual GB and they stated NO. HH

I would suggest bringing this to the attention of TNSS. He is in contact with XP and should add this to the list of improvements. 👍

I bought the D2 after watching it's separation and recovery speed in trash and iron. The ability to find a good target amongst bottle caps and nails and still get a good VDI blew me away. Also the ability to ignore iron entirely. I am setting up a new YouTube channel to do "In the Wild" videos. I will do videos comparing with my other machines and I invite other CT guys to participate and test against your machines. This would be fun!!!

I will also test an area where my buddy and I have hunted where there are 5 cell towers in one spot. We both detected this beautiful colonial site for an entire day and we didn't even get one signal the entire time!!

Thank you. You know the line. It's the shoreline running along the CT coast from NYC to Boston. There are other spots like the power generating stations in Bridgeport and Stratford CT. I will test Active vs Inactive as you requested. 👍 I'm going to start a metal detecting YouTube channel so I can put the videos there. I already have a Motorcycle channel, "TTRGUY", but don't want to pollute it with metal detecting.

You are welcome. As I stated, I am going to test the Deus 2 around WereWolf EMI areas we have here. I'm going to start a detecting YouTube channel so I can put the videos there. I already have a Motorcycle channel but don't want to pollute it with metal detecting stuff

Calabash has shown he has very bad EMI where he lives. I never said that because he can make it quieter that depth doesn't suffer. Yes, keeping both on is a mistake but initially, who knew? That's just his video. There are many more videos that show Deus 2 works well in EMI. Like I said I will test EMI and post here.

Calabash Digger and others have shown the Deus 2 is excellent at handling bad EMI. The EMI issue what CB and others have shown is that the Deus 2 and Nox machines do not play well together. A video was shown that when a Nox was near a Deus the Deus stopped functioning altogether. Others on the Nox side stated similar. Mine will be in my hands this weekend and I will do some radical EMI testing around electrical substations and electric railroad switches and lines. I will try to post videos here or on YouTube. Cheers

Keep us posted on the learning curve as will I do the same. 👍

Mine shipped to me today. Whoot! Whoot!!👍👌🤙👏👏👏 Any idea of availability of the 9" coil??? My machine is coming with the 11" coil.

Totally JEALOUS here!!! 😈👍👌

Steve Agree 100%! As a manufacturer here in the USA myself, a LOT of company's here are trying to ween themselves of having to buy or have their products made/assembled in China or other countries due to lead times/shipping issues and control of their products. First Texas has always been primarily a contract manufacturer of electronic assemblies for a myriad of US manufacturers. The metal detecting wing is/was just for ha ha's. Right now they are swamped and expanding the contract manufacturing side of the business. The metal detecting side is taking a real backseat and is not where they make their money.

Here is the latest update....

I have the Impact and have really only used the DI99 as my preferred mode since 2017. I will never sell this detector!

Nokta said they would target shipping in December. With changes being made in software and possibly hardware on the testers machines (screens menus), I feel confident they will be shipping very soon. Worst case February and that's only a delay of 3 months compared to Minelab's 6+ month delay. Nokta is doing this right IMHO!!

I can't wait for your videos! I had one on pre-order the moment they announced it. I cancelled because of the video you and others did on the Deus II which I also have on pre-order.

Thanks Cal ! I can't wait to get mine.

LOL!!! Have a Happy New Year. 👌👍

The manual so far is very well done. It helps to have the unit in hand to test all the features!

Thanks for consolidating this!!! 👌👍

The new Legend manual is on Nokta's site! It's not the final version as Dilek stated there needs to be a few changes made. https://www.noktadetectors.com/wp-content/file-download/the-legend/the-legend-user-manual-en.pdf

By the looks of the face of the machine in all the photos I've seen, I'm thinking they used a high grade of silicone rubber for the membrane. If this is the case the face should last forever.
