I have a garrett at pro. my main detector is a technetiks t-2. I am thinking about adding the nokia legend....thoughts?
Heck of a good detector. You won't be disappointed.

Do you do beach? Because its rather chatty on wet sand.
It depends on the date of the YouTube video and whether the user is running updated software.If they have fixed the problem than everyone on youtube doesnt seem to know they did.

Also, the Vanquish 540 and the other Vanquish models I have used generally are very quiet detectors even on milder saltwater beaches and in high EMI conditions. Don't expect that kind of quiet performance from the Legend. It is a high gain, super sensitive detector that acts like it. It will also hit smaller targets that the Vanquish models simply will not detect. The same goes for unmasking and separating targets and for handling pretty bad ground conditions. So the Legend has a lot of horsepower along with plenty of features and capabilities that the Vanquish models don't have.
So the chirping just a bi-product of the detector than and there is no way to get rid of it? Legend was one of my options for an upgrade but I won't be able to deal with the constant chirping/falsing. If it wasn't for that one annoyance, the price is great vs performance, but If I have to pay more and wait longer to afford the nox 700 to not get the chirping/falsing than it is what it is I guess.I've seen countless videos and read countless reports of the Legend's performance in salt ground. Of those, the only reports of the Legend being chatty in salt conditions was because the user did not know about the St control (salt ground fine tuning) and/or was using a Legend that wasn't updated.
There is fierce competition between XP, Nokta, and Minelab, as well as "die hards" for each of those manufacturers. If the Legend had an issue in salt conditions, then believe me, it would be posted all over the detecting forums and all over the detecting Facebook pages.
Quieting any high gain detector like the Equinox models, Deus 2 and the Legend is easy to do but you will also severely quiet their performance As a result. Minelab did that quieting down for us on the Vanquish models with their very conservative internally preset settings, no user ground balance and automatic noise cancelling. It’s mostly a matter of what you feel comfortable with as a user. Some have said the same about the F75 and T2. So it’s not a matter of a faulty or problematic high gain detector that can’t be settled down. It’s just the difference between an entry level VLF detector and detectors with lots more adjustability and power under the hood.So the chirping just a bi-product of the detector than and there is no way to get rid of it?
