The reason I hate playing with buttons is I feel like the second you change anything everything you already checked was a waste of time if you had to change something, should be able to get it pretty much rugh the first time
I agree! Spend more time digging and less time playing with buttons. I like to run things as wide open as I can comfortably and just go with it. In my opinion the more buttons you press and filters you play with the more you might miss.
I am turn on and go Detectorist. I might noise cancel on the Nox I might adjust the Sensitivity. I will Adjust the Volume of the speaker depending on if people are around and or it is noise like on the Beach. I also like having the extra bells and whistles just incase I feel like doing some playing around with the settings. Factory reset is a great thing they put in the detectors. I like that saying K.I.S.S Been using it a lot over the yrs ..lol Thanks Brother for another Great video Adventure and Info.. Happy Hunting .. And Gold Luck.. Peace
Same that's why I loved my Simplex. I don't mind changing a few things, but not really trying to spend all day setting up my detector that's time I could be out digging holes. Yes I've been using K.I.S.S. for years lol. Thanks for watching and happy hunting my friend!
Sorry about that. This video wasn't really meant to be an instructional video. I just got tire of people asking me what settings I used. These people were already pretty familiar with the legend so i was just trying to help them out. I do plan on doing another in depth video on settings soon. I was just waiting for this last update in case anything changed. I'll try and get that video out soon.
thank you. for the most part i don't care what settings others are using, but i did wonder what settings you were using to get so close to the tot lot equipment without interferance. did going to the smaller lg24 also help with that?
The LG24 is great at getting close to the equipment on the tot lot, but it can be done with the LG28 or the LG30. When you bump up your recovery speed you can definitely get a lot closer. Now the LG24 is great because you can really get it in tighter places, but there are times I've been using one of the larger coils dirt detecting in the park and decided to hit a tot lot real quick and it still worked well. Recovery speed at 8 and sensitivity at 15 and you'll do fine. Bump it up to 10 and you can get even closer. If you do bump it up to 10 you better listen close because those small targets are going to be a quick beep lol.
Try bumping it up a little. I used to keep mine at 4 cause I was afraid of losing depth. Then I saw paystreak running 8 and 10 at the tot lots and I started doing that too. After a little while of a higher recovery speed you start to pick up on the size difference. 6 is as low as I can go and still hear the difference, but it wasn't till I ran 8 for a while that it really sank in.
Thanks for this quick tutorial. I'm still learning the basics with the Legend, and baby stepping my way into its more advanced features. Can't wait to put some good content out there on my channel like you're doing for the community. Have a great day!
That's a very good question. For the most part no. The only real exception is the larger the coil the more emi they pick up. So if in an area with emi a smaller coil may not be affected much where a large coil adjustments may have to be made for it to run smooth.
Hello! I’m just new with the Legend, saw your video and may I make a suggestion? Make a bracket or some kind of camera support so that your video’s are more steady and professional, use your camera closer to your object because you use 1/6th of the video screen; you can reduce this to at least 1/3rd, newbies like my self can then see beter what you are doing.., took your setting over to try-out… Best regards from Rotterdam!
Thanks it probably would have been a good idea to crop in on the detector as I programmed the settings. I'll keep that in mind in the future. I am about to switch to a new camera for some parts of my video to get my live style detecting shots as well. Good luck with your legend if you learn it, it will treat you very well. Happy hunting my friend!
I'm sorry to say, but I wish you used your fingers on the buttons and not your big black gloves, hard to see which buttons you are pressing. This hasnt been a good video for beginners.
Sorry I do wish I would have cropped in on the video so you could have seen the detector better. At the time I was really just trying to explain what settings I use and why, but if you have any questions maybe I could help.
I have been planning on doing a more in-depth video on settings. I have a few things going on right now, but I'll see what I can do about getting that video out 👍
Yeah single frequencies can be good for some purposes, but I normally hunt in either M1 or M3. Haven't used M3 in a while because it hasn't rain in forever here lol
Just started this video, I'll probably make a few more comments as I go through it, I dont usually mess with most my settings, I usually just adjust frequency depending where I am, and vary rarely I'll play in pitch tones
Well purchased me a Legend so im going through your Legend videos to learn the machine before it arrives at my door step. I think im gonna use it mostly at the beach!!!!
The gegend is actually pretty easy to set up for the beach. I mostly use MW, recovery speed 6, discrimination pattern g, DT on 1, IF on 4-6 depending on how hot the beach is, BC 0, and sensitivity at 25. 60 tones and rock with it.
I run park 1 full sensitivity from balance, and to channel check and that’s it for me I find V nickel s down 14 inches and Indian heads I found a sterling 1890 Tiffany s jewelry lid it weigh in at 20 grams recovery speed 2 it was 2 feet down in a sandy soil I run my discrimination pattern F
Yeah when you drop the recovery speed you definitely punch down deeper. Especially when you keep it simple. Sometimes I think the more people mess with their settings the worse off they are lol. I bet that Tiffany's silver lid was a banging signal.
I've tried a few things with pitch just couldn't get into it. Guess I'm just used to 60 tones now lol. I don't know everything on pitch just sounds too high to me.
I heard that alot of small gold comes in between 8 and 11 and the iron reject program cuts out 1-11. So good idea to alter that setting to accept 8,9,10,11? What are uour thoughts?
I run in the ground program so all those lower numbers still come thru. Trust me I dig a lot of 3' s hoping for earrings but most the time they are just bobbie pins 🤣
@@TheTexanDetector ok thanks. Still trying to learn about this. Too cold here to go out but I am trying to understand all the programs. It's far and away more complicated than my racer 2 or fors relic lol
Thanks! I do believe the more simple you keep it especially with your settings the better results you will have. I am afraid some people think they need to change everything to get the best performance. Unfortunately the more you change the more specific your detector becomes and the more interesting things you'll miss. Happy hunting my friend!
What you said about leaving tone brakes and pitch makes sense I haven't heard anything like that before it's good to have but it can throw hunting off if left on and very little noise did you think of trying Park 2 or multi 2 with these settings ?
I use these settings across the board with pretty good success whether its M1, M2, M3. Also my beach program is very similar. Now as far as a deep program basically switch to field mode, lower your recovery speed, and turn up your audio gain. Adjust your filters as low as you can and still be stable and that will pretty much be your best depth program. At least until beast mode comes out.
Hey bud nice video. Is there anyway you can email me. I got a few questions on the legend. You say dont use tone break but i see so many videos that guys are saying to adjust. ACTUALLY SORRY. DO YOU HAVE A EMAIL I CAN SEND MY QUESTIONS TO??
If you use g discrimination patter and 60 tone in my opinion tone breaks are a complete waste of time. Now that being said very small gold can ring up in the iron range 3-11 VDI. That's why you'll see me dig many bobby pins in my videos. I do have an email its on my channel in the about page.
@@TheTexanDetector ok sounds good bud. I'm in Va. Central va. I mostly hunt old colonial or civil water homes. Civil war camps. I'm about to get into some park hunting. Or schools... if I can find any that will allow it. They are strict on that here.
Yes parks and schools can be great places to hunt, but the rules can be pretty confusing. I have 1 park that's literally two blocks from a park I hunt. But that park is strictly off limits because its a county park and not a city park. You can find most of that info online.
Thanks! Clad is definitely not what I'm looking for, but its better than a pull tab hahaha. Not much though lol All goes into the next detector fund lol
Thanks! Clad is definitely not what I'm looking for, but its better than a pull tab hahaha. Not much though lol All goes into the next detector fund lol
I'll keep in mind higher recovery speed around large iron poles, I never really thought about that but it makes sense, but do you need to swing a little faster?
This might make me get my Legend out again. I set up all these custom programs that make me over think what the machine is telling me. It’s taken the fun out of using this machine. I never gave it a fair shot using factory settings 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Not going to lie I did the same thing when I first got mine lol. Then I went back and deleted all my profiles cause back then we didn't have a full factory reset. I've found this set up to be great. I just change the things that make sense. No need to go crazy and reprogram the whole detector lol. Try it out I bet it will surprise you.
Travis I went home and did a factory reset. All I changed was the recovery speed and sensitivity. Headed for the woods, 10 minutes in, torrential downpour. With lightning. So that was short lived lol.
Well Pitch does give you more information about your target and can be helpful. Personally I just don't care for it, but a lot of people love it. I personally think 60 tone is the sweet spot. 6 tones is nice, but 60 gives you more information. I think in the end what's most important is what is more comfortable to you.
Its good to keep tones the same sound in park and field, so same objects make same noises in either program And I like to keep my tone break on 10, but actually paystreak says instead of notching objects out adjust your tone break to include or exclude what you want to or not want to find
Yeah but when you don't notch anything no need to change to tone break lol. I understand people will do different things. This is my starting point you never know when the field will require a tweak here and there. I just think if more people tried these simple settings they would be surprised on how well it runs and the variety of finds they find. Thanks for watching and happy hinting!
I'm ordering my legend thanks for the info.Just subbed your channel.
@@terrylynch9266 awesome! Great machine you'll love it!

Does the coil affect these settings? or they work on any coil
That's a very good question. For the most part no. The only real exception is the larger the coil the more emi they pick up. So if in an area with emi a smaller coil may not be affected much where a large coil adjustments may have to be made for it to run smooth.

Could you make an updated park settings video with better screen and button pressing views
I have been planning on doing a more in-depth video on settings. I have a few things going on right now, but I'll see what I can do about getting that video out 👍
I like to keep my frequency 40khz in the totlot, so any possible gold (and every micron of foil) sounds loud
Yeah single frequencies can be good for some purposes, but I normally hunt in either M1 or M3. Haven't used M3 in a while because it hasn't rain in forever here lol

A good tip in pitch tones is to keep your audio gain at 1, a higher audio gain will confuse pitch tones deep stuff will sound shallow
I've tried a few things with pitch just couldn't get into it. Guess I'm just used to 60 tones now lol. I don't know everything on pitch just sounds too high to me.

60 tones is a killer find a fortune in jewelry in the last few months
I started on 6 tones, but when I switched man it opened my eyes. So much more information I love it.
Love your videos!!!!
