  1. Those V3i advanced guides have really come in handy. I have all the volumes if anyone is interested.
  2. Bottle Cap Reject is another form of iron rejection, sometimes called iron bias or iron mask. Bottle Cap Reject is an iron filter, and works similarly, due to the ferrous and non ferrous composition of (most) bottle caps. The White's Spextra V3i owner's manual describes it as follows: "• Bottle Cap Reject – Adjusts how aggressively the Discrimination rejects bottle caps and other unusual alloyed iron that contains both ferrous (iron) and nonferrous (non-iron) mixes. Old Square nails for example. • In any Discrimination search mode, Bottle Cap Reject adjusts the degree the audio breaks up (sputters) regarding iron/steel type target signals. [On the V3i] 20 is the most aggressive (offers the greatest degree of break up on iron/steel. OFF provides the minimum degree of audio break up (least degree of sputter on iron/steel. 1-20 offers increasing degrees of audio break up. Caution must be used as in some ground types higher settings causes all target signals to break up or sputter." To better understand all types of ferrous rejection, one needs to understand the discrimination scale. The following diagram is from the Minelab Manticore manual, and offers a good visual representation of the VDI scale along with how the ferrous filters work. The center line from left to right, is where good, non ferrous targets would appear... on the right (non ferrous) side of the Legend's Ferrocheck . Iron targets tend to move away from the center line in the diagram. The iron filters are represented by the gray areas on the graph. Raising the filter numbers, and/or bottle cap rejection will move the gray areas closer to the center line, rejecting iron and steel, but the closer you get to the center line, by raising the filters/bc, you risk missing the deeper/on edge good targets that tend to drift further from the center line. Sorry for the lengthy description, but I hope it helps to give a visual understanding of the filters.
  3. I'm following everything in the tutorial, but the install button is not appearing. I've disabled virus protection, tried it both with files extracted, zipped and tried opening the app first, with no luck. It's just not doing anything. Just sitting on this screen. 😢 FYI, I'm V1.09 SOLUTION: Don't wait for it to load by itself. You need to click on the little blue arrow on the right of the update screen to begin.
  4. Long time detectorist, first post in the forum. I've owned most of the high end models at some point over the last decade. I recently sold an Equinox and Deus, with the intention of buying a Manticore. Due to Minelab's production and shipping delays, I started looking for alternatives. Deus II? Equinox 900? But wait! What's all this buzz about the Nokta Legend? After several hours of research watching videos and reading reviews it became clear that I could save over $1000 without sacrificing performance or features! I picked it up yesterday, just in time for a cold snap, but she's assembled and charged! My only observation at this point is that ime impressed with the solid build.
