I just bought a nokta legend last week and I'm definitely impressed with it.
I was getting targets a foot or more deep at the beach here in Florida.
Interesting results, convinces me to keep my stock coil. It gets the job done.
LG15 is perfect for trashy parks. The LG28 is good for depth in fields and beaches. I could see buying the LG24 as an all around coil, but the advantages of the larger coils aren’t so great considering the extra cost imo. If I could trade for the LG30 I would, but I won’t buy a new coil just to replace my factory. Thanks for the great test.
Thank you, great test.🎉
I used the LG 24 in the park and on beach. On the field i take the 28.
Great choices!
Keep an eye on the LG35 too. Great depth and coverage for the fields 😊👍
I appreciate the way you edited the video as really easy to see the results of each coil! Amazing 👏
I have very osteoarthritic shoulders and swinging the stock 11 inch coil for several hours got quite uncomfortable. Today I used the LG 24 for the first time on the beach, found two rings, and a bunch of trash, but overall was very impressed with the performance of the coil and the fact that it was significantly lighter and easier to swing. Thanks for the info! 👍
Just ran across this, and it really is very well executed and helpful. I doubt I would have or ever will get the 24 or 30, but it is a perfect demonstration of why a serious detectorist may want to own a small 6”, medium sized, and a large size coil for their use in various situations. You have also shown the relative “depths” to expect with each very clearly. Great job!
Thank you 😊
Really appreciate the great feedback 😁
Good luck and happy hunting!
Don't pass up on th Lg24 mate . It really does come in handy.
Great Video and Test! I have been really impressed with the depth of the LG24 to be such a small coil! I normally run the stock and the LG30 but if I was to choose one coil it would probably be the LG30! I feel it gets really good separation for a bigger coil and the depth is serious! 👍👍
Air test is perfect because we just want to see how they compare with each other. I'm basing my next coil purchase on this great video.
Thank you for making this video it’s very informative and show something that I haven’t been doing is going deep.
That was very useful indeed, planning on updating the stock coil. Thankyou. ATB Colin
Thank you so much for this demo. It cleared up alot of questions. ❤
This is a really good video for choosing a coil. I settled on the LG35 coil.
Would love to see this test done on Beach Mode. Thanks for the video
LG35 my next purchase, thanks for the precius info! :)
Thanks, good test, one of the best I've seen out there.
Lovely lol with the lg35 i'll be able to dig out aluminum pop cans and those annoying aluminum fruit cup cans, two feet deep over the 1-foot I'm digging them now lmao,
And everything else as well. It's an amazing coil!
Your explanation is common sense and anyone complaining ISN'T quite awakened to thinking critically.... BUT I MYSELF WILL BE BELIEVING MY LYING EYES ON THESE TESTS 😆
Good test, just wish more people would use a bronze coins in their test, I guess the gold ring will have to do :)) Thanks again
Todo comienza en el minuto 7:15 😉👍 Gracias!
Thanks so very much. This was very educational
Great video, very detailed an “in-depth “ Thank you!
Very interesting results, makes you think which coil to use in the different locations you detect in.
Thank you.
My complaint with the LG28 is it's lack of precision. It's the reason I love the LG24. How is the LG30 compared to the LG28 on that? Great video's by the way, keep em coming 👍
Thanks!
The LG30 will be more precise due to the elliptical shape. It produces a narrower field. Considering it seems to have the exact same depth performance (based on this test) I'll be using the LG30 in place of the stock from now on.
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I got my LG30 today 🙂It's a very good precise coil. A bit of a LG24 on steroïds, good separation, pinpointing and depth. Thanks for the advice 👍
Fantastic!!! Enjoy! 😃😎👍
Great video mate...really appreciate it!!
Good comparison video mate. I often wonder what the depth difference is between the nox stock coil and the Coiltek 10x5. maybe I should test it. 👍
Do it!!
Thanks
Great Video, I loved the morphing between coil results (I can see your video ediding skills here). It is very clear. I see that the LG24 is an averege 2inches less deep than the stock, sounds fair, while i don't get the LG30 results against the stock coil, almost the same depth as the stock, only advantage would be 100g less weight, at least on air tests. Keep going.👍
Thank you 😊
The results for the LG28 and LG30 were identical. My thoughts on that are as follows.
The LG30 is slightly bigger than the LG28 which would usually make it deeper, however it is elliptical. Elliptical coils tend to be shallower than their circular counterparts.
The two aspects cancel each other out.
the advantage for the lg30 is the better separation of targets in the soil that it can give you compared to the stock coil, think about having an iron infested area to detect, the edge will go to the lg 30 being slim in the waist unlike the fat stock coil
Correct 😊👍
@@gabyspan940 Thamks, for the info, I wonder if having a better target separation coil it is possible to scan with a lower recovery speed compared to the one we set when on the stock coil. If so, I could have more depth reducing the recovery, but with the same separation and response as a higher recovery speed value on the stock coil. I don't know if it makes sense...🤔
@@italiametal482 I understand what you said but you didnt understand very well what recovery is, recovery is the reset speed of the detector, to put it easier to understand. So, if the ground is clear of iron or trash targets then you can lower the recovery to 2-3, otherwise there is no sense to lower recovery since you cant go deeper bevause of the iron/trash masking lair. So on a trashy field no detector can really go so deep no matter the recovery speed
I know it’s not the deepest one but I love the little 28 sniper coil. The only beach close to me is very trashy. The hurricane Maria that hit this side really messed up the beach area so not many swimmers. The 28 helps me snipe around the 10’s of thousands of pull tabs and bottle caps. And I’m not joking. I should load a video of a walk around the tree and bench areas every swing gives 5-10 hits it’s absurd the number of pull tabs. With the smaller I can snipe out the coins and such better.
Depth isn't everything. Different tools for different jobs 😊👍
Hi can you tell me how to go back to 1.09 from 1.11 on the legend-I don't know how to get back to 1.09 after updating to 1.11-any advice much appreciated! Thanks.
1.11 is the most up to date version and has better depth, stability and performance.
Make sure you've done the factory reset and set up your audio settings etc. again and you'll see the difference the latest update provides 😊👍
Thank you, I have read it loses some depth and audio/sound is not as good? I have a little hearing loss so was worried 1.11 sound would not be so clear? @@DTEKTSUSSEX
The only people who are reporting those issues haven't done the reset, haven't done the reset properly or haven't re-set up their audio and smaller settings again after the reset.
1.11 is 100% deeper and has much greater performance than 1.09 😊👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX ok thanks. I'm new to the legend so just trying to understand the best setup. I have read some very experienced Legend users say stay with 1.09, and others who say 1.11 is better? Confusing for a legend novice like me!
LG30 or LG35? I want deeper and larger targets, which one is better? I know the size deferences and larger is deeper but in practise is it better to take 30 or 35?
If you're looking for large targets in non-trashy areas then go for the LG35. Brilliant coil and incredibly deep!
If you're in a trashy or chatty area, the LG30 will be more precise and stable.
@@DTEKTSUSSEX tnx man, you are very fast in respond, you are pro!
Thanks for doing all that work… I learned something
Then it was all worthwhile 😊👍
Muy buen video explicativo
Sorry if this is covered and I missed it, how does the LG35 coil compare for weight to the stock (LG28)? Is it noticeably heavier, or lighter? I would be be more keen if it didn't make the machine nose heavy or off-balance by putting a larger coil than stock. Thanks in advance for the assist and doing this video.
Hi!
It is a fair bit heavier. The balance of the machine still feels fine...it's a lightweight machine...but after a few hours I do tend to have to take short breaks here and there to rest the arm.
It's a brilliant coil. If you find it too heavy you could consider a sling to take some of the weight?
@@DTEKTSUSSEX thanks for the quick response! I use the AT Pro as my dedicated water hunting machine, and it has done brilliantly for me over many years. I have all the latest and greatest, but that machine combined with the NEL 15" coil has done amazingly well for me in the water, so much that even after purchasing the Manticore and getting the Legend, I'm considering returning to the water with the AT Pro. After seeing this video, I may give the Legend a go in the water with the LG35, so I'm not sure if this is a fair ask, but I didn't find the need for a sling with the AT Pro and NEL combo, I'd imagine if I can swing that in the water (and to some degree on land) then I'll be fine. But I went through three NEL's, two just stopped working on me over the last 10 years, the last one I bought was phenomenally light in comparison, and that made a huge difference. Are there any weight specs that I can reference between the LG35 and LG28 as that could maybe give me enough of a differential to work from? Thanks again for the assist!
I think you'll love the Legend in the water!
The LG28 is 565g and the LG35 is 751g.
@@DTEKTSUSSEX thank-you fine sir!
Hola amigo lo felicito por su video y por ese super equipo, éxito en sus aventuras y hallazgos, saludos cordiales desde chile para usted compañero 🇨🇱🙋♂️🤝⛏️👍👏
"Super equipo" He means super equipment (it can also mean team)
Top job Adam brother
Thanks a lot man
Great video. Is factory reset a good idea when changing the coil? And also how is the reset done? Thanks again.
Hi Jimmie!
Thank you 😊
No reset required on Nokta machines. They automatically recalibrate to whatever coil is attached when you turn them on.
Just make sure the machine is off when you change it over 😊👍
thanks... :)
Thanks for video. Very well put together. So the LG 28 & 30 are same depth just better separation. If you could get the 30 or 35 what would you go for? The better depth & sacrifice separation? I’m debating on which one to get. I’m thinking about the larger LG 35 just to reach that extra depth.
It depends on where you're hunting.
If you're mostly doing farm fields etc., the LG35 is a fantastic option. If you're doing more trashy areas like parks and beaches, go for the LG30 👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX my only concern with the LG 30 is the depth is exactly the same. I know it does separate better & that’s a bonus, but is it worth the money for the slight more separation rather then being able to go a couple inches deeper to get those targets that are out of range.
I don’t hunt many farm fields, but would like to take it to a few places that I’ve been over many times & just see if I could pull a few deep targets out. I guess I could sell my LG 28. They still bring about $60-$70 on eBay & get the LG 30. Then eventually get the 35.
My Legend has a bad battery & when the ground freezes I’m going to ship it to them to fix it. I just hope they don’t charge me.
It will be at full charge & about 1 hour it will start shutting down every 15-20 min. I use the external battery a lot! If I want to hunt for 3 hours or so I have to have the external battery plugged in.
It sucks because it weighs to much.
Battery thing does sound like a fault. Make sure you report it ASAP even if you don't send it back yet.
In terms of the coil if it's more depth you're after the LG35 will give you that. Just be aware that you'll be missing targets in trashy areas.
Depth isn't the be all and end all. It's all about getting the best possible combination of coil and settings for the specific environment you're in. And sometimes that means better separation and unmasking rather than depth.
Good luck 👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I agree. I use my LG 24 & LG 15 more then any other coil. So I got the separation covered Im just looking for something that will get me another 2-3” in some areas I hunt that isn’t loaded with iron & modern trash.
Then the LG35 is what you need 😊
Bravo!
Nice video amigo 😊
On a side note I found an interesting ring the other day. I don’t know anyone that knows about jewelry and can’t tell if it’s silver or aluminum. Do you think I can send you a pic of it by email and your friends in the community could help. It has a large greenish stone in it that’s not plastic not a gem either.
Are the any hallmarks on it? If it's silver there should be maker's marks...usually on the inside on the band.
(one maybe stupid question) is the 35 coil from simplex compatible with the legend? is the conection different?
I am doing research regarding the 2 detectors before buying. thanks
Hi Titus,
The connection is the same, however the coils aren't interchangeable. The coils are configured for the specific machine and the frequencies it produces 😊😎👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I've seen detech 36 coils for simplex(the white one) that are better than the original. Any ideea if for legend is the same?
I wouldn't say the Detech is better. Very similar certainly. I prefer the SP35.
I haven't seen any 3rd party coils for the Legend as yet. The LG35 is a STONKING coil on the Legend. Incredible depth and very responsive.
Curious what’s the difference between the sp24 and the lg24 and are they compatible
Hi,
They basically cover the same purpose for their respective machines but they're not compatible. The technology is different so the SP24 will only work on the Simplex and the LG24 will only work on the Legend 😊👍
Which one will be the best for coins at fields (sometimes meadows) ? Thanks
They'll all find coins in meadows.
If your land isn't too trashy or target-rich, go for the LG35. It will cover more ground and punch deeper.
If there's a lot of trash etc., you'll want one of the elliptical coils.
@@DTEKTSUSSEX thanks. I'm thinking about LG30.
Do you actually think the field model is deeper than the park 1 mode? I don't think so.... Park 1 mode IMHO gets the deepest....
It is objectively deeper, yes.
Park modes are heavily filtered to deal with the trash and find the good stuff in between. That filtering has an effect on the depth.
Field mode has considerably less filtering and so loses less depth 👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I should clarify then.... In a field where there's really no trash lol.... I've found targets deeper in park 1 then I ever have with field.
Targets will all be at different depths. It will vary from hunt to hunt. Some hunts the targets you hit will be deeper on the whole and vice versa. But Field will 100% punch deeper than Park in a like for like test 👍
I don't get why all the depth tests start from 1inch.. obviously it will hit on 1inch. Good on ya anyway :)
I just start close to the coil and move away steadily. If I didn't do that I'd get complaints the other way 😅
CZcams is a strange beast...
@@DTEKTSUSSEX hehehe I guess it's a preference. I jus saw everyone doing it that way and ended up giving you the comment. I like your videos so don't take it the wrong way :) keep on swinging!
It was interesting to see that the LG28 and LG30 performed the same. I think I'll just stick with my LG28 for now.
They're the same on depth, but you get more coverage and separation on the LG30. It's become my main coil 😊
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I think at some point I’ll upgrade to the LG30 because of the separation. Reminds me of the Minelab coils I was used too. I am still learning the Legend.
What coil is best for the beach
Depending on the beach, either the LG24 or the LG30.
LG24 if you have lots of obstacles, sea defences, rocks etc to get around.
LG30 if you have large areas of open space 👍
What update was on device: 1.09 or 1.10 for testing?
Hi Nerius,
I did mention this in the video. It was 1.10 👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX oh, so sorry, I skiped it frow my ears 😌
Why make the 30 the same as the 28. The bigger coils don't pass the pub test. I'll stick to my three smaller coils.
They're not the same.
They have about the same depth performance but the 30 is more precise and better at unmasking. Being narrower it's also better at getting in closer to obstacles like trees and rocks. The extra length also means better coverage.
Small coils are great for areas with lots of obstacles and/or high levels of trash. The larger coils are better for areas with less dense targets and wide open areas.
It's simply a case of using the best tool for the specific land you're on 😊👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX But is it worth shelling out $350 ..?
If it's the right coil for your application then yes. If it's more than you're happy to spend the other coils will be fine, just not quite as suited.
