First, I am just a Legend user that happens to be able to easily contact Nokta engineering directly due to a previous problem with my first Legend. I know for a fact that Nokta engineers are aware of David’s videos since I have directly forwarded some to them. I also know for a fact that Nokta’s choice to be transparent also goes both ways. They would much prefer to be notified first about any possible “issues” that testers and users may experience. They do not appreciate being blind sided by YouTube videos that claim to have found issues or problems. Dilek is just a private message away on this forum under Nokta Detectors and she will be getting to work in a couple of hours.
Second, I hunt in diametrically different soil conditions than you guys and the soil itself heavily masks targets of all kinds here no matter how fast or slow a detector’s recovery speed is and how good their target separation is. So it is much more difficult for me to see and experience in the wild the difference between the M1 to M3 modes opposed to Beach MW since it dramatically doesn’t ground balance here. Instead of clicks and pops from mild ground mineralization I hear growls and wails. I definitely have verified the amount of masking between adjacent aluminum targets and low, mid and high conductive coins using M1. I wish that situation could be improved if possible.
Last, I agree with everything that David wrote in his post above explaining this difference between the M1-M3 modes vs Beach MW separation/masking. David has done some very fine testing of the Legend. I can duplicate some of the results easily that he has demonstrated. Others like this particular phenomenon are much harder for me to reproduce so I am not onboard with anyone publically announcing anything or circumventing Nokta. I would rather Nokta be informed directly and respectfully. They probably already know about this by the way…..
