1.17 works just fine..even better. I think you're wrong in your opinion about hardware. But I do think the Legend is now something it wasn't meant to be and it's definitely time for Legend 2 ESPECIALLY a resign because it very top heavy and become uncomfortable to swing after a while. So in my opinion Redesign maybe on S shaft Better key layout Maybe battery moved into handle. Maybe hidden cable from coil. Better screen?
Was never any good after v1.09 and just got bull$hit from Nokta even when it was proven their update was a crock. I had two and sold both, Deus II now and a Nox 800 as back up. I'll never buy anything Nokta again.
One thing I have noticed is that all of my finds are very shallow no matter what I do to the legend. I also have a simplex ultra that I use, and I always end up digging deep targets that the legend has missed. With the ultra I can do wide sweeping swings and with the legend it seems like I have to scrub the ground with the coil for it to lock on to a target.
Qualche perplessità ce l'ho anch'io, ho caricato 1.17 , si sembra più stsbile in acqua e battigia con ID più stabilì, ma in ricerca vera ancora non mi convince a fondo, sembra discriminare molto anche con il filtro del ferro aperto a 1 ,dovrò fare altre uscite per capire
Just seen this clip ,I've been in 2minds about moving on from the legend,,I'm finding it as good what I thought it'll be thinking about the nox 800 what do you think,, hope the person come of worse
Liam, I confess I've never been a fan of numerous tweaks and features added to the controls of a detector. I find using the main functions of ground balance, sensitivity, discrimination and on occasion, recovery speed, have always given me excellent results. Frankly, I don't use the other features added to the Legend and have them turned off or set to whatever minimum is. Actually, I've never installed the last three updates on my machine because it works very well at my last preferred version. I will keep my Legend because it can be submerged in water, all the frequencies offered, stability and its durability. I agree that you can take "enhancements" to the point of diminishing returns, and that is what might be happening here.
It has made me consider selling mine, as they try to cram more and more features into the detector via updates, and hence the issues keep compounding other issues, to be honest I think 1.09 was about as good as it got and it worked. I have yet to try 1.17 fully to make my mind up for the final time.
Appreciate this video. My legend was outperformed by Garrett AT PRO. Was detecting in fresh water lake not finding anything where I knew there should be signals aplenty. Sat legend coil on bottom and took headphones off put them on my john boat seat, turned machine off and grabbed outdated AT PRO I'd brought along because Legendary POS had my finds down 50% or more. Put headphones on and fired up machine...it started screaming immediately the instant the coil was slightly moved. You could still see imprint from legend coil in silt covered sand. Used scoop and BAM a 1940s silver merc!!! I was asking myself wtf was going on and, upon retracing my steps(I always drag scoop to grid areas of interest) I found several coins including 3 silver dimes. My legendary POS died that night when my fist smashed the screen to bits!!!! Nokta sucks. I fell for their lies and regret shelling out all that cash to Turkey. Now my new detector is French and it's magnificent!
I completely agree ... Like a laptop overloaded with apps n software and it just starts losing it's basic functionality... I moved mine on too... I also got hacked off with fan boys pretending it was ok
@@norseman1137 yep without them knowing it does harm the following of a machine, honesty is the best policy and if someone ain’t honest then shows there’s a hidden agenda , normally £££
I stopped at the 1.11, 5cent/nickel finder, I don't know why, but if I wanna find V nickles and nickles in general the Legend is king for those, I've been back on the 9&11 deus2 sensi full tone and have been killing it, we need rain real bad.
I gave up on the legend a year ago got the XP deus 2 and never looked back I don't think I will ever buy a Nokta machine again what I will get as a back up is the Garret vortex when they finally release it but I will stick with XP from now on there is just nothing like it maybe the manticore but it's too heavy
I was looking forward the single score new it would have its limitations but i was hoping for similar performance to the vanquish series better depth on mineralized ground and imho I’m just not seeing nothing against it because it is tough and waterproof and it does find signals very well just think the mine lab is superior
These comments and the vid make me happy that I didnt buy the legend, I was soo close and then a minelab X-terra came up at a gd price with extras. 👍 Have you been pickin at that dry skin on your face?😂😮😂
For me it went downhill after 1.09, I said the same to Nokta that the performance is getting affected, user error was a term getting thrown about , my finds rate dropped overnight , I’m not new to detecting and I found some great stuff with the legend in the 800 hours that I used it but I believe there are issues with the later updates, loss of depth , stability and overall performance, I went back to a Nox and it’s like night and day . I’ll never use a Nokta detector again which is a shame
@@ivyanddadmetaldetectinguk9192 Exactly the same mate, uploaded V1.11 and my max depth find was about 4". I was literally just walking with hardly any targets on fields where I was previously digging 120 holes a day. On the forums it was user error, nothing wrong with the machine. I dug a 6" hole in my garden and swung over a George V penny in the bottom of it and not a peep, hole wasn't filled in, penny just sat there. Bought a Nox 800, that saw it fine but still from nokta and the forums, user error, setting not right etc.
Your right the legend was not performing correctly, but I was using beach mode and still was working fine. I was able to get all coins out of the iron but I think Nokia purposely 117 so awesome to last two I font so many stuff, silver coins or buttons there’s no other than the 117 right now on the legend.
I havnt tried the new update yet, i think im on 1.13 or 1.14 or something, im not 100% sure, im definitly passed 1.11 which is the last one i had, i like the legend well enough, but i dont even use the DT at all, IIRC it distorts the tones, ill probably update to the latest version soon to try it out, although i dont use beach mode often and i think that was what the update was for, ill still reccomend the legend as the cheapest detector if you want both single selectable frequencies and also multifrequencies, but to be honest most of the time im using the deus 1, i just prefer the tones and feel of the deus 1, and not being so hypnotized by the vdi, the deus one sits on my go pro strap and i can check the numbers or xy screen, but i can also just dig instead
A few months ago everyone said that the Legend is the best detector for your money, goes deeper than any other machines....blablabla, now suddenly everyone hates is. Just simply not update yours and thats is. I'm on 1.13, thats how i bought it and never tried to update. Im not saying i love it, i expected a lot more after my Simplex Ultra(which i loved so much). Im using it in 15khz, because in multi its too chattery, almost useless....and actually i never find really deep targets. Maybe the coins what i find are just simply not in deep. Anyway, im secretly deaming about Deus II...

a resign because it very top heavy and become uncomfortable to swing after a while.
So in my opinion
Redesign maybe on
S shaft
Better key layout
Maybe battery moved into handle.
Maybe hidden cable from coil.
Better screen?
I sold the legend it was so chatty

Very similar performance legend has more adjustments
@HistoryRevisiteduk I use the legend mostly on a coin setting mode, how are the nox 800s

Running 1.15 on mine, got it dialed in and is doing the business.
That's an ugly eye! I wish you a speedy recovery!

Thanks for sharing
Curious if you ever got your hands on the Xterra Elite? Man, first your wrists and now your eye! Look after yourself mah man. 🤟
117 is the best update the legend is the best machine out there now
Jesus what the hell did you do to your face?
Tried force feeding myself a spanner
Who everyone 117 you are missing things
What happened to your face ?
