I enjoyed the video and noticed you were either in gold mode or you were using pitch tone. It would really help if you could go over how you have your detector set up before air testing the items. Please this is NOT being critical, It would just help us in looking for those same numbers on our detectors. Thanks
I have the Legend and have only used it a couple times. I look forward to seeing how it does on the beach this summer! Thanks for the Gold numbers Gig!
Beach Dry is a lot more sensitive to small gold than Beach Wet. And you can use BD in wet sand if you raise Ground Stability and lower Audio Gain to minimum.
What i dont understand is the beaches are so over detected how come people still scan them. Is there a point where detectorist dont go to same location anymore ?
How would wet or dry sand at the beach effect using the gold mode? I’ve never tried it. Might be able to find some small gold on beaches in the off season when there aren’t many targets?
Wet sand is a no go on beach in gold mode, because of the minerals in the saltwater. Dray sand all day and f you have the patience for all the noise gold mode makes.
Thanks for this video. So tell me, I only do beautiful Che s, should I then put my Ledgend on to gold mode ? Instead of beach mode ? This was all very interesting as a beginner. Thanks.
From what I've read from some users, chains are tough to detect because it isn't one piece, but rather many pieces (often small) linked up so it's harder to pick up on that with detectors. It also depends on whether or not it's spread out or balled up. Balled up chains tend to be easier to pick up as it's closer to being one piece than when it's spread out and the detector is trying to pick up on each individual chain?
I am kicking myself, I just got my Nokta Legend and I was passing up a lot of 11's on the beach. Not going to make that mistake again. Thanks for a great video, learned a lot today.
yea its crazy how gold can be down at 11 vdi i noticed that when i was testing my legend with gold items also the legend promo price is going up so good time to get one before the end of the month if anyone is thinking about it dont wait
Data I've collected from TH-camr's with the Manticore. GOLD TID 1 to 98. Data I collected from my Manticore. Aluminum foil and billet TID 1 to 99. Tks! & HH.
@@marcshea8921 I purchased chocolate for the thin foil wrappers. Poor excuse to buy chocolate 😀 I cut circular pieces out to achieve different TID values. I use them for testing, to set audio and detector parameters, etc. I'm going to build an ocean seawater test bed from a storage tote. 3.5% salinity is the average ocean salinity. Before I hit a beach I want to have some idea of what to expect.
im asked all the time how do i know what numbers are gold and silver rings, i reply do you have any rings on? then i pull one of my rings off and drop on the ground and start ring a dinging and show them the numbers! nice video gig!
Interesting video, I purchased the nox 800 then the Manticore came out days after so I purchased that as well.... Now the more I watch your videos lately using the Legend the more I'm thinking why not purchase the Legend, they are a lot cheaper here in New Zealand! Thanks for the videos! Great stuff!!
Very interesting. It seems like no detector is good for chains in beach mode. The karat size might have an effect also, but not as much as the shape, it looks like. Thanks for that video. It was a help in me deciding on my next machine.
I found a nice gold chain in the dry sand with the D2 it sounded like foil but it was solid tone so I said well I better dig it anyhow sounds too strong to be aluminum or foil wrappers and I was very surprised it ended up being a nice chain but it did have a small charm dig it all I like that $5 gold piece
Ciao gigmaster,ho appena venduto il mio deus 1. Devo fare un metal anche per la spiaggia,diciamo il 80%campi e il 20% mare/spiaggia. Mi consigli di acquistare un Deus 2,oppure un minelab eqx 900,oppure un nokta legend ?
The way it reacts to chains is the only reason I'm hesitating on buying one of these. My AT Pro would have hammered on that bracelet and would have done better on the fine chain. Maybe buried it would do better. Great video Gig it did real good on the other targets.
@@marcshea8921 Yes Marc. Thanks, I hunt Fresh water only where it works awesome. Hits on a chain like that bracelet at 6/7". I'm wanting a Legend but the chain thing is making me hesitate otherwise I know it is a far superior detector. Good Luck to you!
Sadly yes, dig just about everything, same with the bronze coins, just too many different sizes. That's why I did so well with my old fisher pulse. Me and my son brought in thousands with them 20 years ago(Japan) along with the rings because you dig everything Thanks for the info, will get a legend soon
Gig, you need to un-notch 8&9 in beach mode, I bet you will be surprised that those chains were actually hitting there but you could not hear it as it was notched out. 8&9 are in the the iron range but also where small gold overlaps. 🧲(((🪙
Gold ranged from 11 to 45, on lots of samples for me, when I had one. It found lots of bracelet chains and necklaces for me, gold and silver ones.

After a year with the legend what's your findings ?
How deep will it detect your gold nugget when in gold mode?
Beach Dry is a lot more sensitive to small gold than Beach Wet. And you can use BD in wet sand if you raise Ground Stability and lower Audio Gain to minimum.
I prefer All metal mode when hunting this way.
Can you explain your settings. Beach mode and gold mode I know but there’s more to it then that. A bunch of setting take account

"Another Gigmaster Ledgend Master Class"
Just started detecting. I found a 3oz gold chain at a solid 20 on my Nokta Legend. I wasn't sure if I was happy or not...I guess I'm happy.
Great job thank you for sharing.
Great test and info Steve, thank you!
Why have it set on Beach mode???

Love all the information you share!!
Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on the legend thank you
Getting the ledge I’m looking for ID chart. For it
Hows your threshold set?keep it midway and you'll get tiny stuff better
I am kicking myself, I just got my Nokta Legend and I was passing up a lot of 11's on the beach. Not going to make that mistake again. Thanks for a great video, learned a lot today.
11 is the magic number. Most of the time it’s foil but if it sounds good I dig it.
yea its crazy how gold can be down at 11 vdi i noticed that when i was testing my legend with gold items also the legend promo price is going up so good time to get one before the end of the month if anyone is thinking about it dont wait
Thankyou sir. I appreciate it.

GOLD TID 1 to 98.

Aluminum foil and billet TID 1 to 99.

Love that aluminum! Lint chocolate wrappers are sooo good sounding just like a small gold cross!

Just a thought but gold mode might see deeper on the beach especially on gold targets like chains. Just like with xp detectors

Is it a good metal detector to find gold ring and gold jewelry
Yes
Bad on chains, bracelets. Nox broke, got a vanquish 540 from Don. Found 2 small chains in a week.
I told ya about the gold mode! :-)

Can you use gold mode on beach for everything?
It would probably be too chattery but worth a try on certain beaches???
If there is a lot of trash or iron on the beach it will probably drive most people insane after a half hour or so of hunting in gold mode.

Nokta legend or double score. Call Don Dodson at 706-264-6011.
legend or equinox which do you like better? thanks
Legend over the leaking box 800 but the 900 could be good if it does not leak???
@@Gigmasterif you only detected on soil not beach then would you say nox?

The AT Pro is way too chattery on the beach especially near or on the wet sand.

@@maxsands3861 you'll love the legend. You just need to un-notch 8 and 9 if you want chains ⛓️. Happy hunting 🧲 (((🪙
@@marcshea8921 I just ordered one, so I'll try that on my first beach or water hunt. Thanks!

Very informative video, Steve. Hey where did John boy go?
Working
Dig it all😊
👍🏻

Why not just hunt in Gold Mode all the time at yhe Beach or in the water?
Thanks for the experiment Gigscientist 😜
Found a 22K golden chain 21 grams in the water and it gave me 11 on the display.
Hello Gigmaster
Tones sound a lot like my dog’s “squeaky toy”………I know….it’s early..
LOL, your right!

Cool understand now thanks
