After much research and debating what detector fit my needs, I settled on the Legend.
My research lead me to choose the Legend as it seems to have the best features for the price.
Iā€™d also like to thank Bart @Bart@Big Boys Hobbies for helping me out.
For anyone looking to buy a detector, Iā€™d give Bart a call.
Defiantly, call them first. You might just get a ā€œbetterā€ deal! :thumbsup:

He was the only shop I called that actually answered the phone.
The others all did call me back, but never actually answer the phone.

BTW, Iā€™m moving up from an MXT.
The old MXT has been good to me for the last 13+ years.
But itā€™s a tank, heavy, and getting part or service is almost nonexistent.

Take care friends. Iā€™ll hopefully have an update once the new machine is here and Iā€™ve had some time to swing it.

Hope you enjoy it!
 

Legend should arrive tomorrow.

One quick question.

The manual says you may hear a clicking sound when tightening the coil. Does this mean I need to keep tightening the connector until it clicks? Or just snug it up?

I donā€™t exactly have plans on taking it in the water.
But should I ever want to, I want to make sure itā€™s tight enough to keep water out.

Is it the same for the battery/charging port too?

Have had mine for six months. Some speaker issues to begin with but Nokta stands behind their product. Have never used anything else other than a cheap bounty hunter but am extremely happy with mine. Hope you have same experience as well.

Do the push-turn-push-turn, ... etc, when attaching the coil wire to the head unit.

Will do:thumbsup:

Just wondering if itā€™s supposed to click?
The user manual says it ā€œmayā€ click while tightening.
Indicating itā€™s sufficiently tight. But the word ā€œmayā€ seems odd. Every video Iā€™ve watched on assembly, no one else seems to be ā€œclickingā€.

Just donā€™t want to tighten it to much looking for a ā€œclickā€ and end up breaking it.

I guess Iā€™ll just tighten it until it feels good an snug.
No big deal.

I donā€™t plan to use the speaker.
I always use headphone.
But obviously, Iā€™d like for to ā€œworkā€.
But if it does go out (after warrant) no big deal.

Never used the speaker on my MXT.
I actually have a piece of duct tape covering the speaker to keep dust and dirt out.

The Legend arrived yesterday.
Just got it together today. Itā€™s charging now.

I find it interesting how the coil connection is supposed to be water tight?
Maybe thereā€™s an o-ring or gasket in the coil connector?
Doesnā€˜t look to be one on the control box side?

I know I sound skeptical on the connection.
But Iā€™m just old enough to remember when water and electronics were bad news. My cell phone is supposed to ā€œwater proofā€ to 3 meters. But I still wonā€™t leave it in my pocket if Iā€™m sweating. 8-)

Water and electronics scare me.
 

I assume the double beeps are the ā€œgoodā€ ones to dig.,
Defiantly had to learn how to setup a custom discrimination setting.
Way too many targets under 20 on the VDI in my yard.

Iā€™m not going lie. I lost a penny and dime out in the yard.
Threw them out there and never did find them. I was ā€œpracticingā€œ by closing my eyes and tossing coins in the yard. I found them most of the time. But 2 are goneā€¦ā€¦:laughing7:
 

Small update.
I think Iā€™m starting to figure it out a bit.
Defiantly had to switch to 4 tones.
2 tones was way to hard to keep up withā€¦ā€¦.
Way too many good signals in 2 tones.

The Legend LOVES bottle caps.
They ring up right in the Zinc penny VDIā€¦
