HONEST REVIEW ON LEGEND ( NOKTA MAKRO) metal detector

Honest review on LEGEND NOKTA Makro metal detector

[Vatch]

I hear a lot of snobbery about machines and I completely take your point about the software as trying to do some of the updates has been a nightmare, but Nokta do listen to the users and have got better. As for the machine, yes you can take it out of the box and use it, but like any other multifrequency machine, if you do that, you might miss a lot. The Legend is packed with technology and to be compared to much more expensive machines like the Nox, Dues and now the Manticore speaks for itself, this machine is no where near those prices. I spent 3 months whilst the fields were full of crops, back years testing and getting to know my Legend. Ive now got it set up perfectly for the fields I search on and it picks up the minutest artefacts and deep depth too. I will agree that even though you can dilute iron sounds, it will pick it up, but then I like to listen to the sounds and you get to know what iron sounds like and its number. I agree with the Ferous check, its useless and I don't take any notice of it. Overall its a powerful machine, but you have to get to know hoe to use it. I used an Etrac before and loved that, but the Legend is a lot lighter. Ive also got a Simplex that I keep in reserve and love that too. Ive found great hammered coins and gold with the both, so don't be put off by the snobbery about the Legend. Your bank balance will thank you for it.

what a rubbish review perfect starter machine I have been detecting in excess of 25 years currently own a Nox 800 (basically the exactly the same detector but not so well built) and a Deus and a T2 sold my CTX and I pick up the Legend 90% of the time

[Daniel-fbrm]

When i was deciding between the Legend or the nox 800 i chose tge nox because i preferred the screen and button settings for one reason.I can tell you that tge nox is brilliant on the beach wet and dry sand, can have it nearly full sensitivity with no false signals at all.

I've been detecting for 40 years . After taking a 3 year break because of several arm shoulder surgeries, I'm getting back into it. I kept my legend and my Xp ORX. I sold my 600 and my 800, out of warranty and was having issues. For the money with the 1.15 update, the legend is in the top 3 IMHO.

[HighDollarHobo]

You dig more iron with the legend? I just watched a video of legend out preforming nox 900, Deus and Manticore on bottle cap simulation. Manticore has major issues in the iron people are finding out.. Maybe the 1.11 update will change your thoughts.

[stevebrown]

If you have problems with false signals, particularly at the ends of your swing, make sure the cable connection is tight. Take the excess slack out of the cable and wrap the excess near the control box. Secure the cable in several places with velcro strips. Made a huge difference on my Legend.

[cvdm]

The Legend is on par with any of the other multi frequency machines I've used on the beach - have not had any issues with it.

[dalchrmar]

Completely understand your review as it's based on your experiences but all are different. I made the brave and some might say unusual decision to ditch my Nox 800 for the Legend and it's the best thing I've ever done. I barely ever dig any iron to be honest. Also this week I went out on Tuesday and found an Elizabeth I shilling and today I uncovered a cut half of a milled Charles I - it's absolutely bloody tiny 🤣 Think I have turned into what are sometimes described as 'fanboys' of a certain detector but that's only based on my experience of it which has been overwhelmingly positive. I've had mine over a year and never had a problem with headphones. The one thing I will say though is that with each update it makes changing the settings that little bit more complicated which is a pain for somebody with a memory like mine lol

I am a starter. Until now i only dug up one iron nail. Yes one. This was on purpose, just to asure me the machine can tell the difference...
I swinged the coil on spots with lots of iron but choose the non iron signals. I may start finding unwanted iron the moment i go deeper, reacting on less clear signals numbers & sound. But this should happen to every machine...and Youtube is full of examples of this.

[mrtaffspoon]

I think this would be ok for a beginner.. You can use it straight out of the box. You don't have to learn what everything does straight away.. As you gain experience, you can learn more about it's features. I bought a Simplex first & quickly realised its limitations & upgraded to the Legend. The Equinox was out of my price range. The legend has all the features you will need.

40 yrs + can remember using garett TR detector no vdi you young ones have it made love to find another first one as a stadic display old whites idx pro garett freedom plus

[alabama]

What do you suggest (waterproof) for a somewhat beginner user?

[allanohlsen]

I love my legend. It's pulled 3 silvers, a dozen old pennies, and 4 nickels from my yard and my neighbors yard, places I've gone over a dozen times with three other machines. Unbelievable separation, I dig far less trash. The Ferro check only works to about 8-9 inches down, but works well. I run zero discrimination, five tones/zones with different volumes for each zone. It's a great machine, however there are no hammered coins in my area. :-) Nice review, Grimm.

[mikethedigitaldoctorjarvis]

I have the Simplex Ultra and i love that machine, also have the Quest Q40 too !

[Stack_Silver]

Thanks for the honest review, going to look now on your channel to see if you posted any update videos on the Legend and if you have tested the latest V1.15 that also adds the noted “Beast Mode”…

[Jacksonluke]

I have the legend what would you recommend to buy/ replace with?

[tomdetects]

I'm loving the legend, I've come from the simplex and am a huge fan of Noktas ethos. They are a company I can really get behind and I know they will keep updating the legend.

On my last hunt I got silver and an old unusual Peruvian coin! It separated very well in high trash too. Can't wait to try the new coils

[WilliamKennedy-qo]

lots liter then at pro with 13 inch coil for sure that the heavest one i own runing up on at least 5 lbs

[jdove]

600 dollars is a cheap machine? You must be rich mate.

[soulmindedcreations-mike]

maybe bury a hammered coin and adjust the settings till you hit it and try from there?
