- 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. :)
Woo hoo! Congrats on the Gold! Looking forward to all of your vids on this machine. Have a great weekend!
Thank you Texas!! It will be a fun journey:)
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
Great video man!! You’ll figure it out and the updates that are coming will help make this thing awesome.
I think it has great potential! Thank ya Tracey!
got my legend yesterday.....i also own the nox 800 and a etrac....love your videos!.....its going to be fun learning a new machine, i think its a lot of bang for the buck, and its build quality is awesome
I agree I think it's got a lot of potential, love learning a new machine!! Let me know your thoughts on it once you start using it:)
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
love your legend videos, mine is coming on Wed. so its nice to see a real video on it. thanks
Thanks Brenda, hope you have lots of fun with it!
Love the Videos! Stuck in the house this weekend because of snow 😒 Wanted to get out and put some hours in
hope that snow melts soon! We are having a pretty mean storm right now too.. hoping to be able to get out after. Thanks man!
Awesome now I want a legend!!!
Just got my Legend. Thanks for the tip.
have fun!!
Watching my first Legend water hunting video!! Haven’t read the manual and just put a couple of times on land at factory settings! Hitting the water tomorrow with any luck! Thank you for your video!!

I'm still waiting for my pro pack. I appreciate you doing the testing and going over settings, it will lesson my learning curve.
I'd love to try that 6" coil as well, thanks north east
I messaged kellyco today and they expect their shipment today or tomorrow of the pro-packs. I guess depending on when and where you order from will determine who gets them this shipment. He said they are getting 100 on this round and it will fulfill most or all of their pre-orders
Congrats bro!!!!! 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.
Thanks dude, quite a bit to learn and get used to but it will be fun :)
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.
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.
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
Great video keep them up
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.
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!
I'll experiment some more with it next time I'm out there, thanks for recommendations!
*Love this Video!*
New to your channel and I really enjoyed this Legend vid.
Question, what are you wearing on your feet when detecting in water like this?
Thank you 🙏
Nice find man! Vanquish seems to be better in the water so far though.
Vanquish is quiet as a mouse in my conditions! Still love that thing. Thanks dude:)
Excellent Vidio ✋ amazing 👍 thank for sharing this Vidio ✋ greeting from Indonesian traditional gold sheeker 🇲🇨🌸👍👍👍
👍Congratulations, GOLD👍
Yes more Legend stuff in water
Hell yeah bro! Thats dope that it picked up that little gold charm and you havent even fine tuned it yet. Im sure once you figure the settings out, youll be able to eliminate most of the chatter and keep enough sensitivity and stability to feel confident
Not to shabby 👍 and smacks out some gold to 😱 Come on with it baby!!! Little Chatty though but it works
Yeah it seemed a little chatty, maybe I can tune in settings a little more or maybe we could get an update in the future... really do love the quiet of the nox!!
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 ?
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?
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
my legend has just arrived and i havnt had it out yet as i was watching youtube to see how to set it up when i came across your video.the first thing i noticed was you never ground ballanced the machine when you turned it on and was wondering if this is what was giving the chatter
Seems to be pretty good, definitely better than the simplex! Lol I'm sure you will dial it in with more swing time.
Hoping we can quiet it down in the salt a bit more, I am enjoying it at the park though!
Legend finds the targets. I’m sure there are optimum settings for your beach. Once you find them, you’ll be doing fine. Any chance the sparkyness was caused by EMI? Keep Digging, A!
We'll tune her in! Or at least give it another good go, spend a few hours in the water and see what we can find... thanks man!
Can you make a video about the last update v1.11?
Like your video's 👍🏻
Im about to get the legend mainly for salt water, does it have a good depth there or the machine lose many power (cause you have to turn down sensibility etc)?
Did you do a frequency grab?
Not sure if you have version 1.11 downloaded if you do ...What are your settings please ?
hello, is it possible to walk on the beach on the gold program?
Pretty cool ... I've been hunting on the sand over here on the south east coast of FL and only just started to get in the water (surf is still pretty high this winter with lots of rip tides, making it hard to stand in one place).... thanks for this video, I am also experimenting with settings and have come up with the same conclusions. I use PTones, and set my tone break down to 9. Using All metal, and also F1 seems to be the same for me, but I need to do more long term hunting in the water to know definitively. Always good to see you out of the parks and on to the beaches, but those are fun too. I've only started to post videos to my channel, but will do so each week. Check them out. Cheers, keep swinging, and happy hunting.
Did you try ground balance?
Morning Austin
Hey Gregory:)
Looks like a Equinox copy but with better build quality. It's also got too many settings and stuff. I'll stick to my Equinox but happy hunting
I just realized you were in all metro mode. That can only be run a very specific places with any detector.
You never mentioned if you ground balanced it
How long does the legend extend?
I'm looking into buying one and I'm tall.
actualizaste el detector ? al 1.07 ? -
Hey man did you figure out a good florida beach setting Im having the same problem in wet sand and in the water here in Miami
Hey! First thing.. have you updated to the latest version? make sure you have it, it helped a lot on the beach in general. (1.09) If you already do you could try putting your "stability" setting higher.. that helped me.. if all else fails.. turn up your recovery speed and turn down your sensitivity. Some spots are pretty hard to work. also make sure running in beach mode (MW)
Been in the metal detecting for a year 1/2 just got my 1st simplex Last September love it What would be a good screen scoop for the beach ?
There's a lot of different ones out there just depends on your budget they can get quite expensive! For my first one I crafted my own... it was not very sturdy.. but it worked for a while!
@@TreasureOutdoors thank you
💯💯💯👌🤠
Question for you brother man! I'm liking this detector so far and was wanting to know if you think the preformince on land is better than the Minelab Vanquish 540? Looking for a new detector for hunting Old company towns and 1800s homestead's here in southeastern Ohio. Thanks for your feedback 😉
Always value your opinion on these things!
Honestly I can't say for sure but it feels very FAST and I am liking it quite a bit in the park! Thanks Darby!
I think it is as good as my equinox 800 was. I had both and used them side by side and ended up selling the equinox.
Real men don't read instructions.Continue with these real use videos.L appreciate the time and effort you're putting into these videos.
Well done..little unstable in water...Minelab still the king..in and out of water..
Because my opinion the equinox is a better detector that’s why I like my equinox so well
You said he does something down in the hole how do you know Austin did it so he
Do ground balance all the time every now and then.
Hello my legend has a backlight issue its set to 0 but it stays on. Iszue 2 the machine doesnt keep last settings. And wont load a user profile. Youre lock up issue should be an easy fix press and hold the piwer button for 30- 45 seconds
we'll see what this first update has in store for us 👍 should be some bug fixes
@@TreasureOutdoors hopefully the necessary fixes😁
@@TreasureOutdoors juzt heard from nokta makro there is an update being released this week to fix a couple issues
With the headphones and the volume up you anyone should dig it.
Hello, today i tested this machine for first time and, while it worked good it dry and wet sand, when i submerge the coil it falses a lot, its imposible to detect like this, pure chaos. Im on multi wet, tried to reduce sensibility to 20 and stability 1,3,5... nothing works, so many fake signals, like one every second (with sound and ID), am i doing something wrong?...
Have you updated to version 1.07 by chance? That really helped mine, since updating and running 5 stability I haven't run into any issues with chatter or false signals in the water. The only other thing I can think of is maybe make sure coil wire is wrapped tight. What kind of signals is it giving? High sound or iron tones?
@@TreasureOutdoors Hey thanks for replying, yes i upgraded to 1 07 that was the first thing i did. And no, the wire is not specially tight, will test but i dont think that can be the problem. The signals are completly random, from ids 11 to 50 or so
@@oros321 You could try contacting Nokta they might be able to help troubleshoot somehow
I run my Legend at 25 sens and up in the salt water, don't know why your machine acts like that!!!!!! Mine runs pretty much silent. Maybe its the LG 30 9x12 coil that I'm running. I run these settings for the salt water:
MW
Sensitivity - 25
Stability - 3
Iron Bias - 4
Recovery - 5
BC Rejection - 0
GS - 0
Sometimes I have to check to see if my machine is on!
Tak, to kwestia nowej, eliptycznej sondy LG30 i softu nowszego niż 1.09. Ale spróbuj położyć złotą obrączkę na czarnych kamieniach lub czarnym piasku. Może być całkowicie niewidoczna nawet na głębokości 10 cm i więcej mierząc od cewki. Wg mnie Legend jest dobry na słoną wodę (Atlantyk, zasolenie ok 35%) dopiero z cewką LG30 i softem minimum 1.10 choć zepsuli tryb pole przez zmianę mającą na celu lepsze wykrywanie cienkich srebrnych monet. Ten tryb stał się przez to płytszy o ok 10cm i nie nadaje się już do chodzenia w słonej wodzie (wcześniej był o niebo lepszy niż tryb plaża MW)!
Mam ma myśli bardzo słoną wodę i mokrą, słoną plażę.
Ciekawostka: Atlantyk ma średnio 5 razy większe zasolenie niż Bałtyk i wykrywacz będzie się w tych 2 akwenacj zachowywał zupełnie różnie. Zwłaszcza gdy dojdzie do tego czarny piasek lub czarne, lawowe kamienie.
Ok
I don’t have a legend but most guys in dealers that I talk to you have you know how Metal Detectors and Shop and Metal Detectors self they tell me you need to get 100 hours to learn your machine you know in the more you got time you use on that metal detector the better off you’ll be here they say you need are usually $100 and then you’ll know your machine into right now if you want with it regular that’s what I’ve always been told
yep I agree it's going to take a while to learn!
Pero este video ya no sirve de porque han actualizado el firmware del detector... :(
I can’t go in the water do at the beach unless I were a pet wear a pair of waiters because I have an artificial leg on my right side and it can’t get wet it’s titanium robber glass I think butter I had to wear a pair of waders to the walk around in the water I mainly do the wet the wet sand on the beach do you know where the water comes up and it runs back it out we’re constantly drooling over it I walk in the in the wet bar and I do
Now that's a challenge! I really like doing the dry sand too there is some good stuff hiding in there.. but it is a work out!
I think MD stands for medical doctor
That gold, I saw the 11 and I said foil, nope gold
I stick with my CTX ...
25 sensitivity is too high. start at 20
I am keeping my comments respectable you ain’t gotta fill the guide up in front of me every time I go to talk Facebook and I might come soon enough and all I’m doing is stating a fact to Austin I am not gonna buy the legend I don’t think it’s everything it’s made up the baby and that’s just my personal opinion I don’t need to spend another $600 and I could do a lot more money with my $600 in my Metal Detectors I already have two of them now made by mine lab I have a vanquish for 40 and I have an equinox 600 and they do me just fine so I was just stating to ask in there that I am not gonna buy the legend it’s not what it’s made out to me and that’s just my personal opinion I will not bash their company but I I am mine lab all the way
You better hope you don’t get a spark out there while you’re in the water you get electrocuted
I think it has a lot of potential! I need to get out in the water for a couple hours and see how it acts. I was slaying on earrings in the water last time with the nox... so we'll see how many small targets it can find in the water for sure:)
that not salt water beach thats man made no salt at all
maybe learn first video second...😆
This thing is junk. False's all over the place. Get a NOX 700
It's not junk but it definitely needs work..Auto ground tracking changes way too fast. It starts over compensating when on a target. You'll actually lose the steady audio after trying to zero in. Never run it on auto GB. Nox does it effortlessly. Hard to get it to run right at the beach. Lots of iron falsing...
