FishBamboo Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Trying to decide between the Gold Kruzer and the Legend. Need advise from someone who has used both the Legend and Gold Kruzer. I am wanting to detect a large creek on my claims in northern California. I want a detector that is waterproof and that is excellent on very fine small gold. While I do get larger gold most is very small. The detectors I use are a Whites 24k and a GPX 5000. I can get a new G Kruzer for $375. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Herschbach Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 I've not used both, only the Gold Kruzer, but I'd get the Legend based on everything I have heard. That, and the GK was coil knock sensitive, a turn off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff McClendon Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 According to some Facebook posts, the Gold Kruzer is being discontinued. The Legend is definitely not being discontinued. I have owned both and I absolutely prefer the Legend or the 24K over the Gold Kruzer. For me, the Gold Kruzer did not have a world class prospecting mode since it had no way to adjust things like discrimination, recovery speed or iron bias. It’s Boost and Micro modes were really good. The Legend can do those three things easily and its SMF tech can handle many ground conditions that will overload the Gold Kruzer. The only negative with the Legend right now is the 10X5” DD has not been released yet. The Legend’s 6” coil is really good however. Just my opinion from using them both. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Be nice if they make a 5x9 1/2 for the Legend then it would be really good for that purpose. Too bad about GK being discontinued but if it was knock senstive then it would be useless. Any machine that is noisy or knock sensitive is counter productive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
