Testing for the people, without predudice. Great 'to the point' testing. My GD will, in time I hope, be pleased that her old Pappy decided to give her a Double Score for Chrimbo. Cheers Mike👍
@@IffySignals I’m doing the exact same set up as you with my Legend, but I can’t get mine to hit even with the 6” coil. I guess I should say it doesn’t hit as well. My nails are old hand forged colonial nails. A little bigger than yours tho. Would that make that much of a difference? I adjust the IF ST & RS. Just like you do & start low & raise until it won’t hit anymore. I’ve been hunting with it for well over 2 years. Am I missing something? It does well in my test garden. My test garden is about 3 years old so I feel it’s had some time to stabilize & has probably dropped a 1/8” by now. Any thoughts?
No one seems to get a simple thing with the Legend. It's all about balance. If you find the right balance with settings it works great. It's when you take extreme setting changes up or down are when things go to hell in a hand basket. Sensitivity is another one of those things. You don't gain anything but instability, falses, and dirty noise when you take the sensitivity up too high. How can you expect find anything when the machine is chattering away with every swing. That is a good way to lose confidence in a machine fast because of improper settings. I've learned this detector likes happy mediums when it comes to settings. Test it, take small increments in setting. Like Iron Filter, don't go from 1 to 7. Take it one digit at a time like he is showing here. You WILL find that sweet spot for your conditions if you just be patient. M2 for me hits harder than M1 or M3 also. Happy Hunting!
Another great test. But I didn't realize the double score didn't have an iron volume. Were you in all metal mode and I assume that you can turn the iron off if you choose? What other $400 detector could pass that test? None that I know of.
Not having the ability to adjust the iron volume is a pretty big deal. I’m sure they will fix that in updates. Also it’s about $500 not $400. The score is around $449 I believe.
Love this video but I have to ask, I don’t know much about the Iron Filter, why would you want it so high to cancel out objects next to the iron? If you have a video explaining this already, can you please point me to it.
Hi, you definitely want to run it as low as possible, you also want some to avoid nails that pop and false, on some machines will also help with large iron.
I bought a double score to test and the volume is not very loud even at highest setting. Is this common or do i have faulty machine. It is not even half as loud as my legend.
Hello Mike, I think you are honest, I have already used more than one device, but not branded ones, I am very hesitant to take heavy soil, and the river is on my side, I want a stable device that detects targets well and multi-frequency up to $550
Thanks Bob! Good time for Multi in that price range. Machines i would recommend Vanquish 540 (Control head is not waterproof) Nokta Legend, Nokta Double Score. Might want to also check online for an ML Equinox 600 they have been selling cheap now that the 700/900 are out.
Definitely true for depth but with separation this is best case scenario. If its not going to do it here its not going to in the ground where the conditions are worse.
