Subscribed , I like your channel and the way you are. My first nokta was the triple. I’ve been detecting for about 30 years and know exactly what you are saying here. The components under the hood matter
I have only had the Legend for a ear, but I have always updated it when a new update has come out. 1.11 was my base standard and I found it good. I was not that fussed about the beast mode update and never used it to be honest and just played with the DT. Im not sure if that update was better than 1.11, and have seen plenty of tests that suggest it was a step back. But with 1.17 I personally can say its the best I have used to far and have picked out loads of items with that have been small, deep and masked that im not that sure I would have been tempted with had I not been using 1.17 as I doubt it would have crossed the threshhold of being a digger. Im quite impressed with 1.17 and its the update we deserved from 1.11. If you have not installed it get it installed and see for yourself. Nothing to lose as you can always put it back but its a stonkingly good update.
The biggest issue I have is the lay out. Nokta put so much "new" stuff into the machine. But no where to put it. Beast Mode is in "Gold Field". And I feel like it's there because there was no where else to put it. The machine is "full". All said, it IS the best detector out there for the price. I own it and a Manticore. And can confidently say, the Legend is almost as good as the Manticore. There have been a few occasions where the Manticore hits masked and deeper targets "better". But that's been very few times.
Might I suggest you learn your Manticore? I use Garrett AT PRO and it's outdated as hell but blows the Legend away! Now own DEUS II which is mindblowing. Nokta is 100% crap
@Tn - I agree 100% with you! I love my Manticore, but I also still really like my Legend. The quality is good. Coils are MUCH more affordable. It supports aftermarket wireless headphones. The VDI is stable/accurate.... AND IT COST $1000 LESS than the Manticore and $500 less than a Nox9. Sure, the Legend UI is a bit kludgy, but it's easy to master. And I like the dedicated buttons for GB, Freq, and Disc on the Legend. For the Legend haters and "Turkish" bashers..lol, I say this - You did not get ripped off. It's a $500 machine!! *** And let's be mindful of the fact that Minelab (and others) took notice... and were forced to step up their game(s)!
Thank you sir for all your great help with the Legend and for your honesty I have two Legends 1 gen and 2nd gen the 1st gen I have updated with all except the latest 1.17 which I plan to do but as for my 2nd gen Legend it will stay on factory installed 1.11 for the time being…would love to get a triple score but just can’t afford one atm do to being out of work but hopefully one day I will be able to get one to add to my arsenal of units but again thank you for all of your knowledge you have passed on God Bless and Happy dirt fishin…Virgil
I was wondering if they was pretty close to the same thing I have two Legends and a simplex+ also on my want list is a Deus 2 what’s your thoughts on those?? God Bless…Virgil
I figured that about a year ago. That’s why I stopped updating at 1.09. Have you over across the ocean ever hear the saying of “ to much of a good thing can actually be bad”?
This is why I got frustrated with Nokta , they pride themselves on their customer service yet failed miserably with the updates, I was told after 800 hours use on the machine that it was user error , I knew I wasn’t doing anything wrong, there was a problem with the Legend , and alas the problem they denied was there has now been rectified. Shame on them
You can Upgrade and go BACK to any Version you wish. From a quick test, 1.17 is good, especially noticeable on Pinpoint. If you upgrade, you have Deep Target Mode and Beast Mode. If you don't like it you can downgrade. Don't forget to do Hard Reset and Profile Mode Reset after every change.
Now that 1.17 is out will you start using the Legend again. Do you think 1.17 has solved the problems. I've for the most part quit using my Legend as well.
@@HistoryRevisitedukproud of you 4 being a man of honor and dignity. Mine was terrible from the get-go and died when my fist smashed through the control box. I bled with a smile I still wear!
There may have been issues for you and your ground but all versions of the Legend have found me artifacts and coins. I found a lot of great finds at RCM and Detectival with 1.15, and have just loaded 1.17. From a quick test, it looks improved. Good luck with your journey.
Go over your ground again with a different machine...even outdated and you'll see Nokta sucks. Before you get ticked off try it. Nokta sold us lies, dude. They duped us all😢
I have found great items with the legend , I’m not saying it’s not working I’m just moving on. I have found rings gold coins hammered coins Roman artifacts many silver coins on hard ground ,
It's a Legendary piece of junk. Mine perished with glass shards in my knuckles. Ty 4 your honesty. Dilek and Nokta sold us lies. Legend...yeah it will live up to its name. Ersatz would be a better one but maybe in Turkish that doesn't translate correctly! Garbage should be on nameplate.

@@garrettmarquart6702 I've read your posts here, and have come to the conclusion that you suffer from retardation. Were you pulled out too early?

I’m a Legend user and value your expertise and opinion. Good to know I will update mine now!
Update away. It's Turkish junk that a 2010 Garrett or White's can outperform. That's the truth. They sold us lies
Out of curiosity, what is your go-to detector? Personal preference that is
Rutus Versa at the moment

I wouldn’t worry about a triple score if you have the legend

It's a Legend. A myth. They sold us lies

Legendary POS mine died with my fist
You are correct bro!
Would you suggest staying on 1.09 or 1.11 instead of 1.17?
1.17 has supposedly rectified standard modes
You can Upgrade and go BACK to any Version you wish. From a quick test, 1.17 is good, especially noticeable on Pinpoint. If you upgrade, you have Deep Target Mode and Beast Mode. If you don't like it you can downgrade. Don't forget to do Hard Reset and Profile Mode Reset after every change.
Now that 1.17 is out will you start using the Legend again. Do you think 1.17 has solved the problems. I've for the most part quit using my Legend as well.
Was too late already made my mind up
Hopefully they come out with the Legend second gen.
