Turning the coil around does help making it feel lighter. It moves the weight away from the front. Some detectors with more weight on the back and you have to extend the coil to get a balance. The Legend does really get a balance point. It just feels lighter moving the weight in closer to you.

I turned the coil around and shortened it up as close to my feet as I can get and I use a loose grip mostly holding it with my fingers. It helps balance better for me.

Nothing.

My prayers are with your wife.

That is really interesting. Have you tried smaller gold, like gold earrings and gold chains?

Were you using the 11" coil or 6" coil? Good jobs getting some good coins out of that. It sounds it ran very well in the iron.

I'm using recovery 3 also. I have 1 test dime that has a couple natural iron beside it and recovery 3 is working great and was as low as I could go on it. I'll test out in heavy iron. I keep forgetting to look at the Ferrous/Non-Ferrous meters. I'll make it point to look at it tomorrow.

It's running very smooth. I am happy with the depth in my mild ground. It hasn't seen heavy iron yet. I plan on doing that tomorrow. I like the tones a lot better on the Legend than on the Equinox. I guess I'll find out how smooth it is when there is an iron bias for it and the iron bias set to 0. I haven't found anything good yet. I'm going out tomorrow to a couple spots that have been hunted. It is heavier than the Equinox but it feels good detecting with it. I wonder what it will feel like with 9" round coil and 5x9.5 elliptical coil. I would like the 9" coil light like the XP coil. Was thinking about getting the Deus 2 but I'm going to wait for the iron bias on the Legend and see what it can do first. Soon I'll be able to go in the water.

Was going to say something but sent to Dilek instead.

Well done video.

Gold will come. Looks like fun hunting the beaches.

Right now it feels there is more tone to it over a target. It seems louder that I like. I'll see if I like it over more targets. With the Equinox I never used 60 tones. I only used 2 tones. lol

I only got out for very short time and I got to cold. It was 46F with the wind blowing. I tried 60 tones and was I was liking for the short time I hunted. I'm going to try it more. Was hunting in sensitivity 30 and Field mode. Only found what looks like part of rivet and a piece of tin.

I haven't learned all the setting yet :). Your doing good.

Where is your tone break set in 2 tone? Iron volume needs to be set also.

I hope Russia will pull out of Ukraine soon. I feel bad for the people there. I hope Nel coils will be able to make a come back. I was hoping there would be Nel coils for the Legend but that's an unknown now. A lot hopes in those statements.

I looked up some about that aluminum and it is tough. It looks like Diablo Sand Scoops aren't around anymore unfortunately that I can find.

It looks like your aluminum scoop is holding up well.

No issue with the 6" coil because it's so light. I don't know why coils aren't centered on some coils. Now the 11" coil isn't centered either. Again I don't know why it isn't. I turn it around when it's on my detector. Seems to help.

Fantastic hunt. Looked like a lot of fun.

That's a cool. Nice hunting.

Collectable for the right person. I had my Compass 77B Pro. for about 45 years before I sold it to someone who wanted one. I still used it if my other detector was down.

I'm really liking it too. 1.07 update increased the depth in my mild ground and still very smooth running.

With the AT Gold, set the ground balance neg if you're ground can handle it. It makes it much more powerful in mild ground. I don't know what that would do in bad ground. With the 5x8 coil I could hit a 9" test dime.
