I’m not sponsored by any equipment companies, but I use:
NoktaMakro Legend
NoktaMakro Simplex
NoktaMakro PulseDive Pinpointer
Nokta Accupoint Pinpointer
GoPro Silver (mounted on the shovel)
Nomad RootSlayer Shovel
Whites Digging Tool
My ‘standard’ settings for the Legend in suburban yards:
Field Mode
All Metal
6 tone, with 1-10 volume turned down low. I want to hear the iron but not have it drown out everything else.
Sensitivity turned to 25-27 depending on interference
Recovery speed 5 - I turn that a little lower if the ground is ‘clean’, and turn it up a little if there are a lot of junk targets
Iron filter 8 - if there’s a lot of small iron in the ground I might turn it down to 5 or 6
I grid the yard left to right in 10 kHz, then turn and grid the other way in Multi1
Dig it all!
I previously used the Garrett Ace 300 and the Garrett “carrot” pinpointer. Suitable for beginners but the NoktaMakro equipment has performed much better.
Thinking of getting into the hobby? I really recommend contacting a metal detecting dealer, either a store in your area or an online detecting specialist. They can definitely match your budget with the right equipment for you. I don’t recommend buying equipment online from other sales sites (Amazon, Etsy, EBay, etc) since you can’t be sure of what you’re getting. Trust in a reputable dealer. I use Kellycodetectors.com… but again, not sponsored by them or anyone else.

Thanks very much for doing this - I really appreciate the candid review on the AccuPoint! Sadly, it looks like my search for the "perfect" pinpointer continues, and I'll just stick with my carrot in the meantime.,,

I presume you cleared the Bluetooth list on the Legend before trying to pair it. I had problems trying to pair a new set of headphones until I did that. The manual isn't real clear on that. Thanks for the in-depth review 👍

Thank you for the information.

Not thrilled with it either. Mine faults in the air and also having targets disappear. I was hopeful but let down
-
I’m not sure if I’d buy one now myself but what made me mad before your test or all the test reviews is they said it would be offered for $85 and it’s now $139.99 everywhere! Now who raised the price the maker or all the wholesale suppliers??!! I have the video with Dilek saying it would be cost effective as one of the best and cheapest pin pointers on the market! And now it’s more than a Garrett Carrot!!

You have not got a screen on the nokta pulsedive when using the Nokta Accupoint you are not looking at the screen when the Nokta Accupoint is set up that's it ready to go the bluetooth works a treat i use it with my nox 700 with bluetooth headphones paired my bluetooth box on the nox 700 all in a cracking pointer

Bang on! This review is what is needed for real metal detectorists. No Nokta Nomad "Yes men" or so-called "testers". No 'Fan-Boy' brand BS. Just the facts as they be, seen through a clear objective lens. 'Sun-light' is the best remedy. BS baffles lack of brains. Thank you sir: I appreciate it. All the best regards, from me in the UK.
