Merrill appreciates all the videos. I’m still newbie and will be for a long time and I am good with that! With all your videos I’ve got so much content to listen to or watch in all my travels! Thank you!
Because I watched your videos, I just purchase a new Nokta Legend in Ontario ... You have inspired me so much.. I was using a bounty hunter and was excited with that... think I even found some platinum..Looks like platinum.. but after watching many of your videos.. Purchased the legend.. I am retired 68 years old and love hobbies ... you got me hooked ..and out doors too.. I want to say thank you for your passion in metal detecting .. So much to learn... and thats what I like... Cheers with wine.
Your about 5 months ahead of me, I had the simplex for 2 months and the legend for 1 month, also in ontario (simcoe county), I found some good stuff at the local ribfest grounds, so if you have one of those in your place of residence I suggest hitting it up The legend is nice, but I need to update mine its running an old version of software, but I dont have a windows computer to update it,my computer runs Linux I dont drive but I could take lynx transit across simcoe county, I plan to hit the beach at waubashene soon as the bus stops a 5 minute walk from the beach there I also bought a off brand ebike, but I dont trust it to go to far and not run out of battery Found anything nice with the legend since you made this post?
I have found that when the vdi is all over the chart on a particular target that I can change over to a single frequency to cross check it and usually the single frequency will tighten the vdi number down to within plus or minus 5
Wow, really appreciate you taking the time to pass down all of your detecting knowledge to us, I didn’t realize it was this complicated. Your children did a great job. 👍🏼
Thank you for your expertise. I just ordered my Nokta Makro Legend. It will be here in Monday, Feb. 20, 2023. I an nit wait. Trying to learn all I can before I even get my machine. I have been using a White's SpectrumXLT for the last 25 years!! Got the Legend so I have a better beach machine for my trio to Florida in Sept. 2023. Thank you brother, beautiful family too!! Great kids!!
Just bought the Legend and the target ID Bible ebook as my first detector. Going to check out the world’s longest freshwater beach in my hometown of Wasaga Beach ON Canada. Thank you for all the great videos and resources and helping me make the decision on the Legend!
wow. this is just great.. will be purchasing the guide, and skip the quarter pounder meal! thanks so much. This is one of the most helpful videos I have ever seen- very helpful.
I love your passion and enthusiasm. it's inspiring ,fascinating, and interesting information. You have helped me in selecting my first metal detector. Thank you from New Zealand ❤
Thank you so much Merrill! This has been so useful for Legend owners including your other video on using all metal to not miss gold. Truly appreciate your time and passion!!
New detectorist, 71 year old veteran just outside of Chicago, bought the Legend heavily based on your comments, the concern the company has for providing a quality product and their reacting to legitimate customer concerns. I will be going detecting with a fellow 74 year old veteran so he can provide cover fire while detecting the Chicago beaches, just kidding about the cover fire, I will have body armor. OK not funny. We are considering matching Grumpy Old Men hats and T-shirts. As a fellow Mexican Pizza aficionado I was at Taco Bell yesterday and when I asked for a Mexican Pizza I was told they would be available again May 10th 2022!!! I have learned a lot about detecting from all your past videos but the light hearted tone seems subdued lately. It’s none of my business but I hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks for all the great info and laughs! The laughs are what separate your videos from the pack. That and you usually don’t dig holes the size of a Volkswagen to get to the target. Your helpers are also top shelf people. I did buy the target ID bible and it has also has a plethora of helpful info. Brad Bremer PS I can see by your "group metal detecting hunt" video, uploaded after this comment, that you guys are fine and it will only get better from here. Congrats on the shorter drive.
Just got your book after just getting my legend. Thanks for the time you have put into all of this. I’m coming from the nox 800 and wanted some inside info. Happy hunting
Son of a gun Merrill, I cant imagine how much editing you did for that video! What an excellent resource for referencing and putting things into perspective when it comes to the LEGENDS VDI SCALE. I think I feel alot better about the ever changing #s now. I don't have an EQ 800 and I hear the EQ800 does a fantastic job at eliminating bottle caps or should I say a better job at digging less crowns. If the legend is the 800s competition, then I can expect to see more improvements in the bottlecap arena, thanks again! And a special shout-out to your kids from the MiningMonkey in California.
I enjoy the fact that you discuss how the target territory often dictates your choice of detector. I have the opportunity to travel and would like a detector that can be used in the water and on the beach! I hear you rave about legend and Manticore and I think ok that's the one for me then I watch a video about the Equinox and I am back to the drawing board! Its a cycle but I learn something new each time! Want to share a recommendation as to what to buy knowing Its going on planes to distant shores? Keep making them I love the humor! Bob
Thank you Merrill. I really appreciate you and your children taking the time to put out this video. You have saved me hours of doing my own tests. Brett
Hi Merril ! I recently subscribed to your channel and already purchased the Notka Makro Legend! Thank you for this video ! I know you spent long hours recording and editing in order to help us in using the Notka Makro Legend Detector to its best capabilities and at the same time educate in all the different variations in the targets depending on its size shape, position, thickness, etc . ! Quite a lot of information that takes time to absorb and put to practice. I appreciate your effort and value your dedication ! THANK YOU !
Thanks for the great video. Hardest thing for me is going from my makro racer 2, nokta fors relic, and simplex lite (1-99) scale to the legend (1-60) scale. To start im just adding 40 to the legend to get an idea. I know its not perfect because of the programming but also like all should with a new detector to them is dig everything thays not a grunt tone and learn yourself for your soil
Every metal detector sends magnetic frequencies in the ground , and when it hits metals it creates eddy currents , so it measures signal timing from coil to controls , iron has a slower transfer rate than silver , gold has a slower transfer rate than higher conductive metals, when the eddy current hits a ear ring that's not a closed loop or a ring that is cracked and not a closed loop , the eddy currents gets distorted, that's why it's tricky pulling them , 360 degree scan helps, you explained alot thanks for showing the vdi's scale on the legend, very cool.
Merril, this shouldn’t be free! Hahah this video alone is worth so much! It’s like when you play a video game and you watch a walk through before it happens, you already know what to listen to and look out for, and as you execute, you’re instantly ahead! *Knowledge is money! Applied knowledge is GOLD!* In this case potentially LITERALLY! 🤣🤣
wow coming from the xp deus with the hf 9x5 coil the Legend sure is Different! With the xp deus coins are more consistent with the same numbers. Thank you for taken the time to show all this.
I know this was an older video , but thanks Merrill for the info and your time to make such an informative video ! I have had the Ledgend for around a year now , but after watching this video , I have now decided to delete a coin program because I think I have been missing silver rings and coins, its all metal and 6 tones from now on for me , thanks again !
by far the best and most useful information of any channel, keep up the great videos mate, you will be the biggest channel going if you carry on doing these excellent videos for us all. much appreciated
Like your dedication to making this video. But, it also confirms to me that I will be digging every signal. Discrimination is nice, but I can't ever imagine passing over a hit because it "might" be junk. Thanks for sharing!
For me nickels are the wildcard. Ive had such a difference with them even with "modern" years ones as far back as tesoro disc. On the clock of the tesoro, they came in from 11 oclock all the way to 2 o'clock ish. Havent tested whether the legend has locked them better yet lol. Edit: glad to see yours were closer. Nice to see they locked that in
Oh I didn't see this before... so glad a found it (I do remember seeing another of your videos, that I happened upon while I was staying in NY and just got my Legend (now back in FL)). And... the timing of the ads for me... when you said "Look at this" an ad came on... hahahaha... This is just what I need. I hope that you can perhaps run out to Jones Beach or Coney Island.... and do a beach test too. Video is great, informative, not a lot of BS in between (started to watch another video doing a comparison and couldn't get past 1 minute... yours kept my attention (very hard to do with an ADD person)) , and very well thought out and put together... Yay team! I'm definitely getting the book. Thank you.
This is a very interesting and well done clip. If I get a legend I will purchase your PDF. Question. Why have you picked the legend to do this intense experiment. Your data is impressive
@@MetalDetectingNYC thank you for your time and hard work. I will be looking for your other three clips. Been watching your for a few years now. Enjoy life
I noticed you had two musket balls in the low range. One of them looks just like one that I found in the middle of nowhere in the northern Arizona desert. After seeing this I thought to myself aren’t musket balls made of lead? So I took a magnet to mine and it stuck like glue. Further research lead to thinking of two different possibilities, maybe it’s either a meteorite or what was called iron cannon shot. What do you think? Have you tried a magnet on yours yet? Thanks you so much for the diligent work done on your videos, it’s helped me to really understand what I’m doing at an accelerated rate. I’ll always smash the like for you. 👍🏻
Good video Merril, I think I will stick with the nox for now. A good friend just got a legend though. It will be interesting to see what machine you end up using as your standard.
It took me a while to get comfortable with a metal detector in my hands in public. But im GLAD I did. My suggestion is find a friend to go through the learning curve with you. I did it alone for a while but its better with friends. Start by asking for permission to a place that you are comfortable. Look up the local rules for permits. If all else fails wait for the winter and do the woods.
It’s perhaps a sign that you might need to fix that. When I was doing my art channel all I watched was Aquachigger. I got my first detector in 2012 and 18 more since! 😂
I was reading up on Minelab MF machines and they use an advanced method to get TIDs using MF. My Nox 800 easily grabs stable TIDs but my Deus1 struggles. My opinion the Nox is very good at getting stable TIDs I cannot say anything about the D2 yet but maybe TID performance is one for a video. Also my D1 menu has settings that interact with other settings but the Nox settings are independent. Nox- easy to set up complicated programs - D1 complicated to set up simple programs. The D2 has a similar menu. And I suspect I can set programs on the Nox I cannot do on the Deus machines. However I will have a another try of a D2 because we all want to have a selection of great detectors👍👍
I defiantly have my eyes on the Legend I currently have the Equinox 600 and I love it but I am seriously considering buying another and seriously considering getting the Legend. But if I fond enough gold this summer them I would sell and get the Deus 2 instead.
Thanks for the videos I was loving my legend until I was teaching a few friends how to get started with their new simplex so I had mine and left my legend in my truck someone broke in and took my brand new legend I maybe had 10 hrs on it
Great job , thanks for this. As a beginner I see it’s going to be important to dig them all. Damn the guy that buried the endless pieces of shredded aluminum all over my property lol….
I got a screaming 32-40 that I need to dig out. No ferris bars. The ring bars are always all 5. Goldfield mode SCREAMS at me. I swung over a did gold ring and it came up the same way.
Great vid, thanks for it! So if higher conductivity metal (silver) dominates lower (gold) why iron (very low conductor) masks silver or gold and not the other way around?
I know this isn't about the detector, but I saw your speakers at you home and I believe they are M&k speakers. If they are, how do you like them? Sorry lol ...I also love high end audio.
I just commented on another video but I want to pull the trigger on this detector the legend " new generation " I just want to be sure about the machine before I drop 600 on it
First- this is my favorite detecting UA-cam channel. Now the question, my legend came with the 6” sniper coil. Opinions? I live outside Nashville so mostly fields around here. Will that effect these readings? Or just less coverage? Thanks!
Hi Merrill, a friend of mine is using the mine lab vanquish and he is wondering if he could use the equinox bible for the vdi numbers, would the two be interchangeable? I myself, am using the legend. After getting the Bible for the legend, it changed the way I metal detect in a positive way. FYI the vanquish is a 540. Hoping to hear back from you. A big fan. Tony
Great job Merrill! I'd like to point out though, in the beginning, you said you were going to mainly test in Park mode, but I noticed all the coins were tested in Field mode. Since, according to the manual, it only mentions a difference in the VDIs between the two in lower VDI numbers, it probably doesn't make any difference. Is yours flashed with v1.07?
@@MetalDetectingNYC I'd be interested to see how your detector works in a field now that you have updated the version. Mine seemed to be much quieter in the previous versions. It's now extremely chatty.
We are still in negotiations with the shaft company for the price on the shaft. The scoop is going to be in the low 200’s barring a drastic price shift for the new and improved connector. This will fasten it better to the carbon fiber shaft and eliminate the wobble. The shaft is going to be made with thick carbon fiber to prevent cracking and we are aiming for it to retail in the low 100’s. We should also have other options for anyone who doesn’t want to pay for carbon fiber. What we are aiming for is a formidable tool that efficiently moves and sifts sand, no give in the handle, lightweight and built to last.
Ppl say NO... Park 1 has more DEPTH. No... I know differently.... Park 2 and SNIPER COIL ... 1ft EASILY.. maybe sometimes there NO VDI... But there's a HUM... meaning there a vibrating noise that'll get you from 2-4" deeper.... Gotta learn this Y'ALL so
Purchase The Legend Target ID Bible Book: www.iratemetaldetectors.com/product-page/nokta-makro-legend-target-id-bible
Hammered medival silver ID?
Would the book help with the Nokta Gold Kruzer?

EXCELLENT!! THIS is Exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for this video this helps me alot !!!
Glad it helped!

Interesting that most of the same coins ring different
Nice work great presentation 👍✨️
I feel the creeps. Cutest thing I’ve heard Hopefully will be my next detector thanks
Super helpful. Thanks! This is the detector I am using. I wonder how the Score will do on the same set of tests.
Some days I dig the midtones some days not...a guy can only see so many pull tabs and can-slaw before you start to question your life choices :)
This is a very interesting and well done clip. If I get a legend I will purchase your PDF.
Question. Why have you picked the legend to do this intense experiment. Your data is impressive
I have it for four detectors now. Each time it reinforces one thing. Go by sound rather than numbers.

I am wondering the same thing. I am loving the Deus now but when I use it i miss the familiarity of the Nox.
Purchased a legend after going to your website. Also others input too. First half hour found a chunk of cast iron and a dime. Thanks for your videos.
Enjoyed watching this one! The science of conductivity & mass really morphs the mind & VDI. Your kids are awesome dad! 👍
Thank you Jim!!!
The thought of not having many places detect without breaking the law is scaring me away.
It took me a while to get comfortable with a metal detector in my hands in public. But im GLAD I did. My suggestion is find a friend to go through the learning curve with you. I did it alone for a while but its better with friends. Start by asking for permission to a place that you are comfortable. Look up the local rules for permits.

As I see it now the ceilings of the legend and equinox are close. The Deus 2 has a slightly higher ceiling.

Great job , thanks for this. As a beginner I see it’s going to be important to dig them all. Damn the guy that buried the endless pieces of shredded aluminum all over my property lol….
Its exactly that! Keep digging!
Lazy mowers
Another great video!
I got a screaming 32-40 that I need to dig out. No ferris bars. The ring bars are always all 5. Goldfield mode SCREAMS at me. I swung over a did gold ring and it came up the same way.
Great vid, thanks for it! So if higher conductivity metal (silver) dominates lower (gold) why iron (very low conductor) masks silver or gold and not the other way around?
From my experience the VDI will vary in the soil from air test
I chortled at metal detecting calories
Great training vid!!
I know this isn't about the detector, but I saw your speakers at you home and I believe they are M&k speakers. If they are, how do you like them? Sorry lol ...I also love high end audio.
I’m not sure….They belong to my father-in-law
@@MetalDetectingNYC oh well, just was wondering. Keep up the good vids, I love your editing. Don't know how you fing the time to put that together?
I just commented on another video but I want to pull the trigger on this detector the legend " new generation " I just want to be sure about the machine before I drop 600 on it
Just dig everything
First- this is my favorite detecting UA-cam channel. Now the question, my legend came with the 6” sniper coil. Opinions? I live outside Nashville so mostly fields around here. Will that effect these readings? Or just less coverage? Thanks!
Hi Merrill, a friend of mine is using the mine lab vanquish and he is wondering if he could use the equinox bible for the vdi numbers, would the two be interchangeable? I myself, am using the legend. After getting the Bible for the legend, it changed the way I metal detect in a positive way. FYI the vanquish is a 540. Hoping to hear back from you. A big fan. Tony
Yes!
Didn’t you find that with the Legend there is a dig difference between an object in the ground vs dug up? Or is that something they fixed?
Great topic for a video. We will dig in to that.
Looking forward to a ditto for the Deus 2 😉
You didn’t show the Nichols , shield nickel , buffalo nickel and war nickel with silver content
Yes it’s there. Check out the time stamps in the video description
Thanks!
You’re welcome
It's kind of obvious that size matters more then composition when it comes to silver coins.
TACO Bell bringing back the Mexican Pizza next month... If you didnt know already ! OK Merrill GL & HH !!!
Yes! Very happy!
Great job Merrill! I'd like to point out though, in the beginning, you said you were going to mainly test in Park mode, but I noticed all the coins were tested in Field mode. Since, according to the manual, it only mentions a difference in the VDIs between the two in lower VDI numbers, it probably doesn't make any difference.
Is yours flashed with v1.07?
Now I have 1.07 but the test went on in the earliest version.
@@MetalDetectingNYC I'd be interested to see how your detector works in a field now that you have updated the version. Mine seemed to be much quieter in the previous versions. It's now extremely chatty.
How much is the scoop,handle etc.
We are still in negotiations with the shaft company for the price on the shaft. The scoop is going to be in the low 200’s barring a drastic price shift for the new and improved connector. This will fasten it better to the carbon fiber shaft and eliminate the wobble. The shaft is going to be made with thick carbon fiber to prevent cracking and we are aiming for it to retail in the low 100’s. We should also have other options for anyone who doesn’t want to pay for carbon fiber. What we are aiming for is a formidable tool that efficiently moves and sifts sand, no give in the handle, lightweight and built to last.
@@MetalDetectingNYC Thank You Merrill
Ppl say NO... Park 1 has more DEPTH. No... I know differently.... Park 2 and SNIPER COIL ... 1ft EASILY.. maybe sometimes there NO VDI... But there's a HUM... meaning there a vibrating noise that'll get you from 2-4" deeper.... Gotta learn this Y'ALL so
Truly appreciate your support brother!
I will challenge anyone and anything... My SIMPLEX and SNIPER COIL on Park 2... Yeah... Bring it on.... Nk
What about coins that are being MASKED by bottle caps, foil or can slaw affect the target ID? How well does the Legend handle that?
This video is a case study of just that ua-cam.com/video/Ek1_rRYwLKo/v-deo.html
