Nokta Makro Legend: Matching Signals With The Minelab Equinox
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 июн 2024
- Today I met up with Philip The Nox and he used the @MinelabDetecting Equinox 800 and I used the brand new @NoktaEngineering Legend. Whenever he found a deep signal or a challenging scenario he would call me over and we would match signals.

Hi, my name is Merrill Kazanjian. New York City is an amazing place to go metal detecting. We have lots of parks, colonial history and great beaches for beach detecting. I have gone to all five boroughs of New York City To Metal Detect and beyond. I also currently own 16 metal detectors. I want to have the best and I want to help you choose the best as well. Below I will showcase some of the playlists on this channel:

My most important series is called Becoming A Millionaire Metal Detecting. I am trying to monetize my favorite hobby in order to do it more in the future. In other words, we put the clad we find in the ground, affiliate earnings, and merchandise earnings in to the stock market and we invest it. This show started in January 2019.

Guys n Gals
I was using the stock 11 coil in the Nox. We wanted to keep it as fair as possible, watching Merrill use the legend, I liked what I saw. I thought it very much held its own.
It was so interesting seeing the threshold being used. I wondered about using that, and you proved it well. Where you again in Park 1,,,,??
Don Dtektor yes I was in park 1
@@philbinaso1243 Thank You. Really enjoy watching you all and learning new things,,,,
I commented on the flip flops and socks last time. I guess comments still count, lol
Paystreak was using his legend with the 6” coil and I swear it sounded like a clowns bicycle horn when he hit something
A thumbs up for not the flip flops, but flip flops WITH socks!
You are keeping me riveted to my seat with these! and that will likely continue until either you stop doing Legend reviews, or until I break down and just go get one! lol. Best reviews I've seen on this machine by far.
Absolutely honored!!!
Best I've seen too!
😂.. Yeah, He helped me pull the trigger myself..lols..
Fantastic teachable moments there Merrill as with all your great video's.
Keep up the great work.
That was a very good unbiased review, straight and to the point.
your making a lot of sense.keep them videos coming.im thinking about getting the legend.after looking at this video you got my mind made up for me.great stuff
Excellent video. Thank you Merrill and Phil.
Thanks Merrill and Phil! Very enlightening video. Learning your machine is very important. Probably have to dig LOTS trash getting there! Updates on the Legend will be interesting to see
Great job Merrill and Phil, love how you guys go through the process.👋👍
Excellent video. This is what it's all about thank you so much
Thanks, Merrill. Just when I thought my choice between the Equinox and the Legend was about settled...... 😒😅
You can’t go wrong with either
OK...before I start watching...So glad to see you back in the saddle...and really looking forward to this faceoff between the two, even if its a little uneven given the relative experience with the two machines.
I like using iron bias when I get to a loaded site, so I can just cherry pick the obvious tones. When I have cleared all of the shallow stuff out, I lower my iron bias by smaller increments until I get to deeper signals.
Interesting days! I would love the Legend... let's trust!! Keep educating us Merrill... you are the best!!
Not only the best comparison video this is the only real one I have watched.
Another great video and test. Thanks for making these videos they are very helpful. 👍
The ability to do that is pure focus at a park and I can do it but it’s like a headache almost. Long rant short, he’s good!
Yes
Phil is obviously a LEGEND in his own right. But Merrill is closing in, love the focus on instruction. Thanks Merrill
Nice & fair testing between the two!
Great test Merrill! I enjoyed watching this.
Thumbs up for Phil's threshold break signal!
My Legend arrives on Thursday. I’m leaning so much with every video I watch from you about the Legend.
Just ordered the Legend today. Here we GO !!!
Another great informative video. I found it interesting how Phil through years of use could detect two different levels of finds. Maybe a video on advanced tones and sounds could be in order.
Have to handed to Phil for calling the double signal, he's very experienced. Another great video merrill the legend seems to be a very capable machine.
Thanks for all you do for all of us, my wife and I have discovered a new way of life that we both love!
Just found a Nokta pro pack bundle in stock and it's on the way. 18 months into detecting and doing well in the cornfields of Illinois. I use the 800 she has Apex, she's getting a big upgrade. Your tutorials, knowledge, humour and finds are second to none!
Great video Merrill ,I just got my legend and I’m very excited to have it. I think it’s gonna be a great detector as people start using them. I think by far it is a better value.
Merrill keep going deep with your understanding of the Legend updates will be a game changer, all the testing by guys like you who understand the tech. Will make this machine a real monster, or a Hoginistic Ledge nary bomb, love yah man
Thank you Rose!
That merk signal was. Tough I would have never found that u guys are pro,s. Wow
Just an excellent video! 😎🙏🤘 super informative. Thanks buddy.
Really good comparison video. 👍 GL&HH Matt
Thanks for confirming my thoughts on the legend
Outstanding video Merrill!!!
Great job you two i enjoyed your video and good Luck to you.
You are the only person I know, who goes detecting in sandals and socks. LOL
Great video however. Very informative.
Excellent comparison of the two detectors.
Great video. Excellent advice at the end. Makes sense. It would be nice if the nox came with a light.
We'll soon see. Have the Legend on it's way. 😉
Nice hunt keep up the good work
Looking forward to you giving the Deus 2 50 hours. I almost gave up on it but now it’s clicking. Still more comfortable with the nox but the D2 has a ton of capabilities! I just hit 50 on it. Your 100% correct if I was just getting into the hobby the nokta is best value.
Those are the "real scenario" comparisons we all need to see.
This was the sort of test I was looking for! The Nox and Legend are close enough that a new detectorist might start with the Legend and be perfectly happy. It comes with quite a lot, at a lower price and it is a close match. It needs to get underwater tested (summer or a warmer clime). Deus II seems to be great too (if rather more expensive). I don't have the money for new right now, but both are tempting. I wish I knew if MineLab has something in the works.
Minelab manticore the perfect beats and the nox 900 and 700
Great video Merrill 👍 We need this video everyone is looking for a more competitive detector for the deposits! With these high gas prices 😆 keep swinging and digging Merrill 👍
Phil using the threshold for a tone break was very, very interesting. That was a good learning moment. Was Phil in Park 1 like the last video?
Great comparison video.
Hey Merrill....some things I've discovered with the Legend....on the higher conductive coins if you'll listen it emits a snappy very sharp pop at the end of ur swing. Your Wheats will ring right around 42 and nickels will ring at 24. Also try to remember to look at the Ferro check once you pop the plug to check for iron as sometimes if it's further down it won't register at first. I've been testing it on previously hunted ground with the Anfibio and I've actually been surprised on how much I'm finding. The settings I've been going with are Field, Sensitivity 30 if possible, Multi 1, Recovery Speed 5, 4 Tone. Well hope you have a blessed day...HH!
Bro what an awesome video! I learned a hell of a lot! Thank you for taking such in depth dives with your detector reviews I get to learn these machines before I ever buy them and it's thanks to these videos M. Keep them coming broski Happy Hunting!
Miss you brother! Let’s go hunting soon!
@@MetalDetectingNYC I'm absolutely down for that always waiting on an invitation ;)
Thank you for your assessment it made a bunch of sense since if some ppl are on a budget about updates and PRICE $
Is a biggie ! for me I have a 440,540, vanquish and simplex now so going to see what un folds in the next year before I throw another 1000 at my hobby lol thankyou for your content really enjoyable video s 👊
Enjoyed the video Merril..👍
This should be revisited after all the updates and new coil. Have a nox800 and a legend. Starting to favor the legend
Power to the Nox! The beach will be the real test.
Nice comparison video but the bigger coil on the Equinox is a pure advantage for depth and frankly should have beaten you worse. Two things I found on my Legend are that multi 2 is slightly deeper than multi one in most cases especially on low conductors and field multi 2 is the deepest I think. 2nd unless I read something wrong the stability control is only used and operates on beach mode not on any other mode. You'll find in Beach mode that if you bring the recovery speed down to two or three it runs a lot quieter and paired up with a three or four on the stability control works best. Just my observation.
I was using the stock 11 coil Steve. We kept it fair.
Ya Merrill 100 hours for sure. Just commit to it and you will know if its a go or no go. It usually just gets better. I was probably 2-300 hours before I started to get the best out of my 800. I thought I knew the Equinox at 300 hours ..... now at 2000, I realize I didn't know near as much as I thought. 😁
You mentioned using ground tracking. I know every place/situation is different but relic hunting for deep targets, I’ve always understood that tracking would try to retune as you’re sweeping over a whisper signal and track it out? Assuming it’s the same with deep coins/jewelry? Enjoyed the review and sense of humor.
The most important lesson Phil showed us is that sketchy targets aren't always sketchy. On a site that produces dig MORE not less. As for the two targets together, I've seen that on my Kruzer many times. The trick is to wiggle the coil on one target while moving away from the other target to see how it sounds. NM coils can sometimes be sensitive on the edges and drag close targets up or down. So you need to make sure neither target is near the edge of the coil while you swing on the other. Then one will fade to iron and one will not. I wish you had dug the third target in that mess that Phil said was nothing though. It's wasn't a high tone but it looked nickelish to me. When it comes to small targets you'll probably need to switch to M2. The NOX has park one and park 2 to weight the frequencies, the LEGEND gives you the option to weight the frequencies in every mode using the M1 and M2 feature as well rather than doing it with a direct mode switch. So essentially you have as many modes as the nox. You have parkm1, parkm2, fieldm1, fieldm2, beachm1, beachm2 and gold mode. There may be differences in how the frequencies are managed however.........which can account for the smaller items. I suspect you're just hearing them but not digging them because they ring in low perhaps?
I would agree with your last statement. That one target that he didn't think he was hitting was registering low (~3-5) on the VDI display, so it was detecting it.
I couldn't hear the nuances on the Equinox but I certainly can with the Etrac on Silver. Looking back I wish I had put more time in with the 600 on full tones.
Muy buen vídeo amigazo
It’s a good video 👏👏👏
Like #7 - Another informative video Merrill! Sharing now.
Just a small note, I noticed dry sand on your coil from the beach yesterday. If I go to the beach with a y machine I always take off the coil cover and wash it down as you probably know this can cause falling in the machine.
Great video
Im liking this detector
Hi Merrill,
I watched your videos of course. But I still wonder about the seperation issue from the legend and the equinox. I only have a legend for about two years which is now updated to 1.11.
If the separation test from iffy signals was repeated with the current update what would be the result? As bad as a year ago or better. By the way, thank you for all your master classes. You are a real honest expert. 🎉
Just a small note, I noticed dry sand on your coil from the beach yesterday. If I go to the beach with a y machine I always take off the coil cover and wash it down as you probably know this can cause falsing in the machine.
Many people have no idea how much time these kind of side by side tests take! It's the only way to go....digging them in the wild vs an air test. Thanks!
very interesting like the white sox
Phil called his shot with that wheat. Bad man there.
I’m guessing at this point the choose would be the ledgen or the nox 600 . I’m honestly not even going to think about getting a ledgen until next your . I’d love to get a nox haha god I’d love to own them all . Thanks for the video Merle
Great video…can’t wait for you to do the same with the Deus II
Coming Thursday
Good video I do have one thing to add though Meryl needs to clean his coil he's bringing sand inside of his coil from the beach which is definitely going to affect things 🙂👍🦀
Hey Merrill, have you tried the Legend again with the update 1.09? Curious as to your thoughts.
Bill
I’m by no means an expert but I have noticed with the Nokta detectors that it’s almost always necessary to circle the target. They will tone one way on the target and another way when moved 90* -180*’s.
Merrill, this is bad news. I got my Deus II a month ago, and now your telling me the Legend is 95% as good as the NOX. I don't want to hear it. I can't afford to buy another detector so soon after the Deus II. Meah
Your Buddy is a beast, he could find a needle in a haystack.
Thanks for the video . Can you ads next time if is detecting any ferrous on the the Roger to ID if it is a good tiger or not before ypu dig it
What about testing the Deus 2. Now that would be another really interesting vid. Yes very informative and how about a tutorial from Phil. He is really good 👍👍👍
This machine doesn’t look like it’s good in wet conditions ( wet beach ) but if your on a budget and not wet conditions go for the legend if you don’t want the spend the money on the best ;). Go Nox!
My legend has been the most stable on wet beach then any of my other machines. Running 1.13.
Phil is a Jedi Master... Perhaps you should have turned the threshold on on the Legend and tried that signal before digging it?
Nice!
Enjoyed the cideo
Hey bud! The tape on the ring you found - wish you would have left that on there. Rare to find them in that condition. In the old days, girls would use tape to wear their lovers rings, since their fingers were alot smaller than a mans. Take care and happy hunting! :)
@MetalDetectingNYC very inportant question for mys self in end of 2022. If right now you need to choose the detector Nox 800? or The legend pro package? wich You would choose? before I had simplex plius, now wnat to upgrade and confused totaly.. :/
Awesome Video Merril...This is what i Love to Watch Real world tests against the Nox....When you got the One way repeat on
Phils deep silver threshold break was the nox hitting it at more than one Angle?
No it was identical …..I tried the threshold on the Legend though …..it was not the same experience because there was so much skipping!
@@MetalDetectingNYC Thanks for the Reply I wonder if the Legend would have hit it in Field mode but i guess this was a park to park comparison video....
Merrill and the Legend king of the swing
Look at the way he works that thing
Flipping and flopping the whole day long.
Looking for the silver to sing it's song.
We watch his test with anticipation and glee.
And it looks like the legend might be the detector for me. Lol
But on a serious note Merrill you make the best and most informative videos out there on metal detecting keep up the hard work man.
Cracking video mezza
Thx Sid!
I think the iffy signal/merc dime test, you were still getting interference even when you couldn’t hear it as much. EMI kills depth in my experience so next time, try turning off the Nox and see if it improves. Great test and moderation of your video
Hi can u please use prospect/ gold mode a little , no one showing it in this mode . I live in Calgary Alberta Canada 🇨🇦 and there are tailing piles here to detect from past mining ⛏. Thx for your help , great 👍 videos.
God Bless u and yours and all watching.
I have a legend on layaway, it’s HERE have to wait till end of month to get . 🤨lol living through u for now lol . Don’t worry when I get it I will still be subscribed lol .Ever in Calgary give me a shout.
Good point about new users though.
Yes!!if I was starting from scratch, I think I could get to the level of success and understanding that I have with the nox. I’m committed to use this for at least 100 hours but it might not make sense to start that process over. That’s what I have to figure out does this detector have a higher ceiling?
Regarding the iron /non ferrous signal couldn't you have set the TONES differently for each metal?
Do large coils use more power.
Learning curve is obvious,can the threshold be turned on in the Legend to get a tone break?....how about the ferrous indicator,was that turned on?......depends on the calibration settings on each unit which might be the big difference between the Legend and Nox
Your students are being asked to do too much busy work causing them way to much stress!
"Try running a metal detector over the stress your students are under and see if you get a beep!"
"Ah... Mr. Campbell, is there anything else you want to complain about?"
Ah... no I think thats about it!
Flip flops and white socks, you rock grandpa!, lol
to start off were you hunting in park mode or beach mode from my understanding the stability setting only works in the beach mode it does not work in any other mode as far as my understanding of that one setting, just wanted to bring this to your attention
second just wanted to say I enjoy your videos
... 30:07 ... “ ... this is an old pocket knife . “ LoL ... No ! It was an old pocket knife until you dissected it !
Just kidding with you. Great video by the way. I’m learning new things. Thanks.
I've seen many comparisons with the Nox and Deus 2 but what I'm waiting for is for someone to put it up against the Simplex.
😂
just a heads up. the stability setting only works in beach mode. and the frequency shift is not something you can put in the middle. this machine will search out the FS it needs to run smoothly.
Never heard of that my stability works on all the modes as long as it's in smf.
Congrats on the silver ring Merrill. Don’t say the letter “K” too loud, there might be a Karen near by and say she lost it. 😂 I noticed you still have sand on your coil. Hopefully you don’t have any black sand between the coil and cover. It might interfere with depth or cause some falsing, maybe. Also, if you have the latest update, I think you can set up the Legend to speaker and headphone s simultaneously. Great video. _/ 👍
