Update Coming

  • The title was changed to Update Coming

I don't recall what kind of prospecting mode the Legend has, but can you check the small gold targets in that mode for depth,  I do know that many are missing out on max depth with the Nox 800 by not using the gold modes, in many cases the difference is night and day between other modes and gold modes, especially with small targets in bad ground.

The Legend has an outstanding gold prospecting mode. Iffy signals mentioned in his original video that the Legend had zero issues hitting those two gold targets especially using less iron rejection with the Legend’s gold prospecting mode. His point was Park or Field using the higher frequency weighted M2 setting had trouble hitting those targets. I have not experienced that “issue” using the M2 setting but I hunt with iron filters on their lowest settings and with all targets including iron accepted. I am used to non ferrous targets that have target IDs near the ferrous/non ferrous tone break sounding like Iron. I just lower the ferrous/ non ferrous tone break a few digits using Park or Field M1/M2 and keep detecting. I look forward to seeing how Nokta “fixed” the issue in this Beta software update.

Maybe there is an update coming. We'll know soon.

Here is a short 1 minute video I threw together showing the Legend using the LG30 and LG28 coils and the Equinox 900 using its 11" coil on 2 targets: a 7" deep US zinc penny (Legend surface target ID 39/42, Nox 900 ID 60/62 and a 9" deep US clad quarter (Legend surface target ID 50/51, Nox 900 ID 88/91) Information about settings is in the YouTube video description.

I am worried that the "fix" shown in Iffy's video will really increase the ground noise from the high iron mineralization in my area and also make EMI effects worse.

I saw the videos. What a difference in beta update. Going to be a great update. My buddy has my Legend right now. Have to get back from him lol.

I'm guessing Nokta had already been working on further refinement of the dt/ Deep Target feature.  There is no real reason I can see not to have it always active at a minimum level of 1.    Hopefully they will also give us an expanded IR range for bE/Beast Mode that has the equivalent of half steps,(1,1.5,2,2.5,3,3.5.........5)

So far, the beta test software Iffy is using in his video is working very well here in Colorado too with no increase in EMI or ground noise which is really good.

That's all I can say.

Not sure if you can answer this ..but will this potential update involve new hidden settings and more button pushing or is it supposed to improve what is already there?
