Nokta Makro LEGEND Metal Detector Beach Experimenting SALT WATER STABILITY Test? | Metal Detecting!

Nokta Makro THE LEGEND! Hey everybody, please watch this video throughout so you can see my whole experience. We are heading to the beach again today doing some testing and experimenting with the Nokta Legend metal detector. I have been getting used to the Equinox in the water the last couple months so I have a direct idea how it compares stability wise in these conditions.

I will continue learning and tinkering with settings, please leave any thoughts or ideas you may have!

Another thing you can do is drop your iron tone break down to like 7 or 8 if it's stable enough. A lot of that small gold will ring in better if you do that. The stock tone break(11 or 10 with the first update) is right at the point where small gold rings in and creates sketchy tones. So if you can drop that tone break down without becoming unstable it's worth the effort. Another tip, if you find a pendant like that switch over into gold field mode, do a few circles and see if you can hit the chain, that will be your best shot. Gold field is going to be super sketchy and probably a bit chatty but you can handle it just in the immediate area to find a chain, if it's there. I know I would. :)

I'm hoping to take my new legend for the first time this weekend and this video is interesting as this will be my first real detector and I may have a little advantage as I live in Wales UK and apparently the temperature of the water effects the salinity and so therefore effect's conductivity, I can't wait

got my legend also own the nox 800 and a etrac....love your going to be fun learning a new machine, i think its a lot of bang for the buck, and its build quality is awesome

Only just got my hands on one, but if you want small jewellery, don't turn your Stability up too high. Also don't be afraid to lower sensitivity. I was testing some deep coins, and still getting very good depth on Sens 17.

Woo hoo! Congrats on the Gold! Looking forward to all of your vids on this machine. Have a great weekend!

There is a secret setting for " stability" Dilek went over how to adjust it in one of her videos. It's automatically adjusted to 1, and it goes up to 5. The higher you go the less sensitive it is to smaller objects.

So this is a great test for all the new Legend owners out there and I thought it was very interesting. I noticed on my machine when going through the beach setting that it was very chatty for a multi frequency setting much more so then multi one or two in park mode so I started playing around with it. So the one thing that I found that made a very big difference in Beach mode to drop some of the chatter out besides changing the stability number is to lower the recovery speed down from 5 to one. And since I'm not going to be at the beach in the next month or so the next question I have is how would it work in park one or two on multi frequency one or two on the beach if your ground balance it there? I figure since you're on the beach there with it you might be able to try it the next time you're down there. Great find with the ring also!

Keep up the good work buddy keep up the good work man that is a good test for the legend and see how deep is going to pick up in the water there

Just got my Legend. Thanks for the tip.

[traceys]

Great video man!! You’ll figure it out and the updates that are coming will help make this thing awesome.

[dungeonconquests]

Love the Videos! Stuck in the house this weekend because of snow 😒 Wanted to get out and put some hours in

[ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Keep Tweaking the settings I am sure you will fine tone this detector to fit your likings.. And do what it is you want it to do.. Nice little surprise at the end.. Awesome

I'm still waiting for my pro pack. I appreciate you doing the testing and going over settings, it will lesson my learning curve.

[texascrossbowdude]

Selling my AT Pro because it doesnt do well on tx beaches due to sand being mineralized. Was thinking of getting the legend over the nox 600 due to the nox's leaking but I'm not sure now. The nox seems to be a smoother machine with less custom settings

[brendawhelan]

love your legend videos, mine is coming on Wed. so its nice to see a real video on it. thanks

[joestrackmetaldetecting]

Sweet pendant Austin! I'm sure it will take a bit to get used to. That's the only reason I was leary about ordering the Legend, just being unfamiliar. I feel like I could use a nox no problem just from so many people on youtube use it.

[jimmyberubelevesque]

There is a "hidden" adjustment setting apparently. You can adjust the Salt sensitivity. I don't remember how to adjust it but look it up, saw a youtube video about it. Is that what you are adjusting at 16:32 ?

[maconthelt]

I have not gotten my legend yet but where is the ground balance set in Beach mode and did you try lowering it to see if the chatter improved?

[AHA]

Congrats You got the Legend! Freaking awesome!
It’s probably gonna drive you crazy with the settings but you have put in the work with the Simplex and gained tons of experience so do the same with the Legend and put in that work. Your going to be finding a lot more.
