I'm thinking about buying the LG24, but I wonder if it's really worth and whether there's an real advantage over the LG30. Some of my fields are really trashy and/or noisy due to the soil, so I have to hunt almost in M3, because M1 and M2 leads to a lot of (false) signals. Could the LG24 in this case an advantage?

Best regards

Thank you for the information, I already have these headphone in my shopping cart. How about the latency, do you notice a delay?

Best regards 

Hi,

a short feedback:

I've gotten the permission from my archaeologist and owner for hunting on some fields. Due to the presence of wind turbines it comes to EMI which leads to chattering sound. The best setting for me was M3. With M3 the dector is almost still and it was possible to put the sense up to 27.

By the way, yesterday I found my first coins. 😊

Best regards 

Would be great to hear from your results. 

The "problem" is, that I don't have a clue what the field may hide for me. 

I think I need practicing with the different settings and see how it's influence the results. 

Did you tests like going over the same target with different settings?

Hello, 

it would be nice to hear from you, which of the multi freq. settings (M1,M2,M3) do you use for field hunting and why you choose it. I hopefully get my permission soon to go hunting on a field and wonder, which setting is the "best".  From my point of view M1 should be good, especially for silver coin. What is your opinion?

The TX-850 has a 11" x 8.5" DD-Coil, so the difference to the Nokta Coil is not so big. 

As far as I know the Clone has more or less the same search depth as the G2+.

For sure, an in-ground-testing for different soils would be better to (hopefully) see the advantage of the multifrequence machine.

Hello everybody,

regarding your advices and experiences with the Legend, I ordered a Legend too and I did an air-test with the Legend an the TX-850:

Testobjects are:

1. white-gold-ring
2. one euro-coin
3. necklace
4. shell casing
5. iron part

Settings TX-850:

All metal mode

Gain 95

Threshold 0

Settings Legend:

Field Mode 1&2 (factory settings)

All metal mode

Sensitivity 28

Now for me it shows that the Legend performs much better than the TX-850 (keep in mind I paid only 120€ for the TX-850).

So the benfit of the search depth depends on the target and seem to be something around 10cm and up to 20cm, what is a big difference!

I think I probably made a mistake with the iron part on the Legend. I set the sound volume very low and together with the low tone of iron detection, I maybe recognized too late, that the Legend already detect the iron.

For the white-gold-ring the M2 settings are going much deeper than the M1, for the other metal parts I didn´t see a big difference.

From my point of view I can say now, that spending the money on the Legend is ok. I´m able to detect deeper parts, which I wasn´t able to find by now and I think the advantage on field/beach is probably even bigger than the air test shows.

I hope it´s interesting for you too, maybe you even can confirm the results.

Best regards from germany!

Ok, thank you very much. 

Did someone of you use the bottle cap filter from the Legend? Does it really work? Or will you miss other targets like coins too?

Thanks for your feedback. 

I already thought in this direction too, but the point is how will I recognize, that I'm missing targets? 

I would love to see an one on one test with both detectors on the same targets to have hard facts.

Best regards

Thank you all for your feedback. I already noticed that the TX-850 don't work so well in the wet beach area.

For me it's important that I really get a noticable performance upgrade if switch to the Legend. The new Legend cost here in germany 599€ and for my TX-850 I paid 130€.

I don't want to spend so much money, if only get a small performance upgrade.

Best regards

I assume clone means Chinees knock off?

I have this one:

I had one of the fisher gold bug clones before. It is similar to the clone you have of the g2. 

Yes, the legend is a better metal detector.

It is better made, the screen is nice and you have many more settings to adjust. 

It handles emi better and it is a very smooth and quiet running unit. 

It will do better at the beach too for you being a multi frequency unit. 

So what all do you have to do to get a permit for metal detecting inland and how much will it cost you?

Why do you have to wait so long before you get the permit?

 

I have to do two lessons,  one practical and one theoretical lesson, which are supervised by an archaeologist. When it's done I can talk to my archaeologist from my town to permit the permission.

Hello,

first of all I've to say that english is not my native language, so please be kind, if my words don't hit the right expression...

To the topic:

I'm from germany and at the end of the year I'm going to receive my license to go detecting on a field. By now I own the Tianxun TX-850  (Teknetics G2 plus Clone) witch  should be good for the price. Till now I could only use the detector on the beach, where no license is necessary. 

I wonder if it's worth investing money in the Legend? I will mainly go hunting on fields ( Fibeln, Coins,...). 

I know the the Legend has multifrequence feature, but I don't really know if it's really a game change or just a hype.

Maybe one of you own both detectors an give some advice regarding detection depth, sensitivity for small parts and so on...

Best regards from germany
