Cal_Cobra Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 3 hours ago, Jethro said: 1st day out to the beach with the legend. Setup: Beach Multi - wet Ground Tracking ground balance Stability 1 up to 5 - I tried a few Sensitivity - 20 to 25 Noise Cancel Recovery speed - varied - I tried a few 1-10 notched out The main issue I'm having is that I get misc non-repeatable chirps that show an ID on the screen. Actual targets are more of a good tone. The VDI for the chirps ranges from the 20s to the 40s. I need a lot more work with the unit. I think eventually I'll realize those chirps are just chatter. I don't want to turn the sensitivity down too much and miss targets. Anyone else getting misc. chirps in the "good" target range? What was your audio setup? Tone breaks?

Jethro Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 4 tones. 1st tone break is 10 or 11. VDI go's to 60 and the rest of the breaks are divided amongst them. It's the factory tones and breaks. I think eventually I'll know what's a salt chirp and what's a target to re-check better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 Have you noticed this problem with the target ID's changing when changing modes? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 I haven’t noticed this issue on my Legend but I haven’t updated it yet. Bill set up some single frequency user profiles from what I understand. That may have something to do with it along with the blurb in the manual which says something like when you turn off and turn back on the Legend, the settings will default to the last user profile used before turning off. As far as I have experienced so far, the Legend in Multi has “normalized” target IDs. In single frequency they are not normalized from what I have seen. The same happens on the Equinox from my experience. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khameleon21 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 CJC, Have you had any luck with getting any CDN clad with your Legend? I love my Nox, but can not find any clad, loonies or toonies with it. Although coins are not my primary reason to MD, but it's always nice to come back from a day of detecting with a couple bucks in change at the very least. Wasn't sure if it is a limitation of the Nox, or something more specific to Multi frequency detectors. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phrunt Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 When I was new to detecting I thought my metal detectors were rubbish as their Target ID's on most of of common coins were all over the place, bouncing around like mad into the iron numbers, only our $1 and $2 coins had reliable target ID's so that confused me. Later I found out New Zealand's $1 and $2 coins are minted by the Royal Mint in the United Kingdom. The 10 cent, 20 cent and 50 cent coins are minted by the Royal Canadian Mint. The UK made coins have nice stable Target ID's, the Canadians make coins very unfriendly to metal detectors ? If I want to dig our 10, 20 and 50 cent coins I find the most bouncy of Target ID's and dig them, they're more likely the coins than most junk although I don't really bother, I just target the $1 and $2, the only worthwhile modern currency for me to bother digging here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khameleon21 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I have done some R&D, and our coins are basically made from garbage ;). The Equinox does do well on older coins, as they were made from quality metals at the time. That being said. My Kruser, or my dads AT Max, simplex, fisher. All give nice, solid diggable chimes when hitting modern Canadian coins. The Equinox however does not ever give a signal that you would want to dig. I have spent time trying to figure out the nuances of our coins with the Nox, and it results in digging up way too much junk. You basically have to dig any repeatable sound. Regardless of how it sounds or what VDI numbers you are getting. With the two new flagship MFD out, and seeing how they both seem to be holding up well. If one of them can also do Canadian clad, it most likely would be worth a purchase for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
