in Multi frequency. You can change the mode based on ground

conditions. You can ﬁnd more details on search modes and

frequencies further in this manual.

4. You can increase the selected quick setting, which is the

sensitivity setting, if needed. Increasing the sensitivity will oer

you greater depth. However, if the surroundings or the ground

cause excessive noise in the device, you need to lower the

sensitivity setting.

5. You can start detecting!

COMMON AND MODE-BASED SETTINGS

Certain settings are common to all modes; changes in these

settings will take eect in all modes.

SEARCH MODES

The LEGEND 2 has 5 search modes designed for dierent terrains

and targets.

Navigating Through Search Modes

During the search, you can switch between modes on the main

screen using the Right button. The selected mode will be shown

within a frame.

PARK

Designed for coin and jewelry hunting in urban

areas and parks where there are lots of modern

trash (aluminum foil, pull-tabs, bottle caps etc.)

present.

This mode is optimized for detecting medium and large coins and

jewelry. In the factory default setting, the custom discrimination

pattern excludes many targets, such as iron and aluminum foil.

Target IDs on the ID scale, including 21, are set to “o” to allow

searching without detecting these targets.

Rejected

IDs 1-21

Accepted

IDs 22-99

Aluminum foil typically generates a Target ID of 21. However,

depending on the shape, its ID can go up to 34.

All single frequencies as well as Multi frequency can be used in

this mode. Based on target type, you can choose the frequency

you want. Multi frequency in Park mode will allow for maximum

depth and separation. Thus, a slight noise can be experienced.

The Park mode is set to Recovery Speed 5 and 2 tones by default.

You can change the Recovery Speed as well as the number of

tones manually if needed.

The FerroCheck™ bar on the screen shows the ferrous/non-

ferrous ratio of the target and thus plays an important role in

identifying trash metals. Therefore, when a target is detected

while in Park mode, the FerroCheck™ bar should be observed in

addition to the Target ID.

FIELD

Recommended for coin and relic hunting in pasture

and cropped/plowed ﬁelds.

In these areas, iron-containing debris and coke fragments are

commonly found. To make it easier to detect coins and relics among

such debris, the Target ID scale in the custom discrimination

pattern is set to “o,” including 21, in the factory default settings.

Rejected

IDs 1-21

Accepted

IDs 22-99

In this mode, all single and multi frequencies operate. When Multi

frequency is selected, the device provides maximum depth and

discrimination capability. The Field mode comes from the factory

preset with a Detection Speed of 5 and a Target Tone Count of 2.

In Field mode, the ﬁrst tone break point is 21 for all tone

options. In Park mode, the ﬁrst tone break point is 20 for all

tone options.

The ID resolution of IDs 21-25 is dierent in Park versus the

Field mode. You may get a dierent ID in each mode for targets

that fall within this ID range.

Park and Field modes oer 3 dierent Multi frequencies as

Multi-1 (M1), Multi-2 (M2) and Multi-3 (M3). For details, please

refer to the Frequency section.

In Park and Field mode, dierent algorithms are used. On trashy

sites, M3 Multi-Frequency is recommended. When a target is

isolated underground, the ID will be the same in both modes.

However, if the target is next to trash, such as aluminum foil,

Multi 3 in Park mode will provide a more accurate ID.

BEACH

This mode is optimized for use on dry or wet beach

sand and for underwater use up to 5 m (16 ft).

Salt in beach sand and seawater makes the ground and water

highly conductive, generating noise and false signals. Single-

frequency detectors cannot operate eectively in these conditions,

while multi frequency detectors reduce noise and provide

maximum performance.

For these reasons, single frequencies cannot be used in the Beach

mode. When Beach mode is selected, the device automatically

switches to Multi frequency and single frequencies cannot be

selected. In this mode only, the Multi frequency has 2 options:

Wet sand/underwater (MW) or dry sand with very low salinity

(MD). When you change the frequency in Beach mode, you switch

between MW and MD.

If the sand you are detecting on is dry but has high salinity, use

the MW option. To determine salinity, move the search coil over

the sand in All Metal Discrimination Pattern (see Discrimination

Patterns) and check the ID of the sand. If the ID is higher than 4,

select MW instead of MD. You can also enable the mineralization

indicator to measure the salinity of the search area.

The ground balance and ID stability has been optimized for

dierent conditions and will vary for each option. In wet beach

sand, MW Multi frequency will generate accurate IDs but if you

switch to MD, the IDs may be wrong. Similarly, in dry sand with

low salinity, you can ground balance the detector in MD but if you

switch to MW, you may not be able to ground balance.

The Beach mode is set to Recovery Speed 6 and 2 tones by

default.

Black Sand

Some beaches are covered with black sand which contains

natural iron. These types of beaches make metal detection almost

impossible. Beach mode senses black sand automatically and

displays a warning icon on the top of the screen in the Info Bar.

IMPORTANT! After submerging the device underwater and

taking it out, water may enter the speaker cover, causing

mued audio. This is normal. Gently shake the device to

remove the water from the speaker cover, and the audio will

return to normal.

RELIC MODE

Very deep targets may have values close to the

surrounding soil and therefore may not be detected.

Relic mode allows you to detect targets at depths

that cannot be detected in other modes.

This mode resets the ground balance of the soil, allowing the

detector to detect deep coins and large masses. However, in this

mode, targets at the limit of detection may not provide an ID or

their IDs may be unstable.

Ground balancing is very important in Relic mode. To use Relic

mode most eciently, perform ground balancing ﬁrst when the

mode is selected. In addition, a second ground balance feature is

available only in Relic mode. After performing the initial ground

balance, you can eliminate the eect of mineralized stones,

referred to as hot rocks, in the search area by using the second

ground balance on those stones.

Relic mode provides high performance on some beaches. As

with other terrains, it is recommended to use the All Metal

Discrimination Pattern when searching on the beach. Signals with

IDs 20 or 99 may originate from the beach in the area you are

detecting. By disabling these IDs using the ID Notch (ID Reject)

feature, Relic mode can be used on the beach without interference.

The Relic mode comes factory-set with a Detection Speed of 5

and a Target Tone Number of 1.

In this mode, tone options have been removed. The audio frequency

changes proportionally to the signal strength. Additionally, by

enabling the Iron Bias feature, you can distinguish iron-containing

targets that are close to the ground surface (see Iron Bias Feature

in Relic Mode).

GOLD

This mode is optimized for use on mineralized

goldﬁelds.

In this mode, the factory setting includes an audible threshold

tone. The volume and the frequency of the audio alert emitted

when a target is detected, varies proportionally to the strength

of the target signal. Gold mode is ideal for detecting shallow and

small gold nuggets as well as deeper larger nuggets in mineralized

ground.

You can only use the higher single frequencies (20 kHz and 40

kHz) and the Multi frequency in this mode. In highly mineralized

ground, detectors receive a lot of false signals. In addition, there

are mineralized rocks -commonly referred to as hot rocks-

present in goldﬁelds. Therefore, Multi frequency in this mode

oers convenient detection by minimizing the eects of these

mineralized rocks and ground.

The Gold mode is set to Recovery Speed 5 and 1 tone by default.

USER PROFILE

The LEGEND 2, oers the ability to save the settings you

make during searching to three dierent user proﬁles in

each mode. User proﬁles are available separately for each

search mode.

This is a great feature for users to preserve their optimized

settings. They can easily and quickly reuse the saved settings

later on.

User Proﬁle Menu

The User Proﬁles of the search mode are displayed in the section

below the search mode.

All user proﬁles have the default settings of The LEGEND 2.

The Default (D) User Proﬁle is preselected.

The D User Proﬁle automatically saves the changes made by the

user. Since the automatic save feature is predeﬁned, users cannot

manually save settings to this proﬁle. If desired, the automatically

saved settings can be restored to factory defaults by performing

the “Clear Proﬁle” operation.

Changing the Active User Proﬁle

You can change the Active User Proﬁle on the main screen by

pressing the Left button once. The Active User Proﬁle is framed.

When the proﬁle is changed, the selected proﬁle information is

also displayed in the Auxiliary Indicator. This text is automatically

cleared after a short time.

Saving a User Proﬁle

If you want to preserve the settings you used after searching in

a speciﬁc area, you can save these settings to any User Proﬁle.

1. After selecting a user proﬁle in the User Proﬁle menu, press and

hold the Left button for 2.5 seconds to save your settings to the

selected proﬁle.

Press and hold

for 2.5 seconds

After the proﬁle is saved, a head icon appears inside the User

Proﬁle icon.

Along with the head icon, the text SP (Save Proﬁle) is displayed in

the Auxiliary Indicator.

If the proﬁle has been saved previously, the coil icon is already

displayed. When a new save is made over the existing proﬁle,

the SP letters shown in the Auxiliary Indicator mean that the

overwrite has been completed successfully.

IMPORTANT! Common settings are saved automatically. User

Proﬁles save mode-speciﬁc preferences.

Clearing the User Proﬁle

1. In the User Proﬁle menu, use the Left button to select the saved

proﬁle you want to clear.

Press and hold

for 5 seconds

2. Clear the user proﬁle by pressing and holding the Left button

for 5 seconds. The head icon in the user proﬁle will disappear.

To clear the proﬁle, press and hold the Left directional button. After

2.5 seconds, the SP letters are displayed in the Auxiliary Indicator.

If you continue holding the button without releasing it, the CP

(Clear Proﬁle) letters appear after 5 seconds. The disappearance

of the coil icon together with the CP letters indicate that the

proﬁle has been erased. You can then release the button.

You can save your favorite settings for dierent targets and sites

with the user proﬁle in each mode, allowing you to create a total

of 15 dierent detector setting sets across all modes.

MUTE FUNCTION

On the main screen, press and hold the Quick Settings button to

mute the device.

The mute icon will appear in the Info Bar at the top. You can turn

the sound on by pressing and holding the Quick Settings button.

Long

press

IMPORTANT! When the volume level is set to 0, the muted icon

is also displayed.

TARGET ID

Target ID is the number produced by the metal detector based on

the conductivity of the metals and gives an idea to the user about

what the target may be.

Target ID is shown with two digits on the display and ranges

between 01-99.

The LEGEND 2’s Target ID scale consists of 99 lines, each of

which represents 1 Target ID.

In addition to showing the Target ID in the middle of the screen,

the ID is also marked with a small cursor under the ID scale.

Ferrous range is 1-20.

Non-ferrous range is 21-99.

In some cases, the device may produce multiple IDs for the same

target. In other words, the IDs may be jumpy. This may result

from several factors. Target orientation, depth, purity of the metal,

corrosion, mineralization level of the soil etc. Even the direction of

the search coil swing may cause the device to generate multiple IDs.

In some cases, the device may fail to provide any ID. The device

needs to receive a strong and a clear signal from the target in

order to provide an ID. Therefore, it may not be able to provide

an ID for targets at fringe depths or smaller targets even if the

device detects them.

Keep in mind that Target IDs are “probable”, in other words,

estimated values and it would not be possible to know the

properties of a buried object exactly until it is dug out.

IDs of non-ferrous metals such as copper, silver, aluminum and

lead are high. Target ID range of gold is wide and may fall within

the same range of metal wastes such as iron, foil, screw caps, and

pull tabs. Therefore, if you are looking for gold targets, digging out

some trash metals is expected.

Coins searched throughout the world are made of dierent metals

and in dierent sizes in dierent geographical locations and

historical eras. Therefore, in order to learn the Target IDs of the

coins in a speciﬁc zone, it is suggested to perform a test with the

samples of such coins, if possible.

It may take some time and experience to make best use of the

Target ID feature in your search area. Dierent brands and models

of detectors produce dierent Target ID numbers.

IMPORTANT! Keep in mind, large targets will ID higher than

expected, even though they may be of lower conductance.

GROUND BALANCE

The LEGEND 2 is designed to work without ground

balancing on most terrains. However, for experienced users

and on highly mineralized grounds, ground balancing will bring

extra depth and stability to the device.

Ground balance can be performed in three ways with The LEGEND

2: Automatic, Manual and Tracking.

FieldPark

Relic

Beach

Gold

Ground balance only aects the mode currently

selected; changes made in one mode do not aect

the others.

The device can perform ground balance within the range of 00-99

in all modes and 00-20 in the Beach mode MW Multi frequency.

The ground balance must be performed separately for the Beach

MD Multi frequency and for Beach MW Multi frequency options.

The ground balance done in MD will not work for MW and vice

versa.

On The LEGEND 2 device, you can view both the ground

balance level and the level calculated based on real-time ground

measurement in the information area of the display. The real-

time ground balance measurement is shown to inform the user.

The ground balance level, on the other hand, indicates the ground

balance value at which the device is operating.

purposes

Automatic Ground Balance

Automatic ground balance is performed as follows in all search

modes:

1. Find a spot where there is no metal.

2. Hold the Ground Balance button down. The ground balance

icon will start blinking in the Info Bar at the top and the ground

balance value will be displayed in the middle of the screen. If

no ground balancing has been performed before, this value will

always be zero (0).

Hold

down

3. Start pumping the search coil up and down from

about 15-20 cm (~6’’- 8’’) above the ground down to 3

cm (~1’’) o the ground with smooth movements and

keeping it parallel to the ground.

4. Continue until the audio reduces in response to the ground.

Based on ground conditions, it usually takes about 2-4 pumps for

the ground balance to be completed.

5. The ground balance value is displayed on the screen in the

ID area and in the Info Bar. In order to ensure that the ground

balance is proper, ground balance at least 2-3 times and check

the ground balance values on the display. In general, the dierence

between the values shall not be higher than 1-2 numbers.

6. If you cannot ground balance, it means that either the ground

is too conductive or not mineralized or there is a target right

below the search coil. In such a case, retry ground balancing at a

dierent spot.

Manual Ground Balance

Allows you to manually modify the ground balance value. It is

not preferred mostly because it takes time. However, it is the

preferred option in cases where a successful ground balance

cannot be performed using other methods or minor corrections

are required to the automatic balance.

1. Find a clear spot without metals.

2. Press the Ground Balance button once. The device will switch

to the ground balance screen. The current ground balance value is

displayed in the center of the screen. If ground balance has not been

performed previously, this value will always be zero (0).

Press

once

3. You need to listen to the sounds coming from the

ground in order to perform manual ground balance.

Pump the search coil up and down from about 15-20

cm (~6’’- 8’’) above the ground down to 3 cm (~1’’) o

the ground with smooth movements and keeping it parallel to the

ground.

4. If you are getting a low tone while pumping the coil, it means

that that you should increase the ground balance value using the

Up button. On the other hand, if you are getting a high tone, you

should decrease the ground balance value using the Down button.

5. Continue the above process until the ground response is

eliminated.

6. Press the Ground Balance button once to exit.

The ground balance value may vary in single frequencies and

Multi frequency in certain soil types.

The sound may not be eliminated completely on certain

terrains. In this case, if the ground noise is minimized, it means

that the ground balance has been done.

Ground Tracking

The device tracks the changes in the ground during detection and

updates the ground balance automatically. Ground changes that

are not visible to the eye will aect the depth and discrimination

performance of the detector.

1. To activate ground tracking, press the Ground Balance button

once. The device will go into the ground balance screen.

2. Press the Pinpoint & Accept/Reject button once. In the Info Bar,

next to the ground balance icon, ground tracking icon will appear.

Press

once

Ground tracking is now active. Press the Ground Balance button

once to go back to the main screen.

When the Ground Tracking feature is activated, the ground balance

icon and the numerical values indicating the ground balance level

are removed from the information area. The Ground Tracking

icon is displayed, and in the section showing real-time ground

measurements, the ground balance level calculated by the Ground

Tracking feature and at which the device is operating is shown.

The device updates the ground balance automatically as long as

the search coil is swung over the ground.

Tracking is suitable for use in areas where dierent soil structures

are present within the same land or in ﬁelds where mineralized

rocks are scattered widely apart. If you use ground tracking in

areas where hot rocks are intensely present, the device may not

be able to eliminate these highly mineralized rocks or you may

miss the smaller or deeper metals.

When the Tracking feature is activated, the ground balance

level ﬂashes on the screen. In Relic mode, when the Ground

Balance 2 is activated while the tracking feature is on, the

ground balance level will be shown steady to avoid confusion.

Second Ground Balance Feature in Relic Mode

Due to its conﬁguration, Relic mode may cause the device to

give false signals to ground changes and mineralized/hot rocks.

This may cause discomfort to the user during detection. Relic

mode oers users a 2nd Ground Balance feature to overcome

mineralized/hot rocks, red bricks and other ground changes in

the surrounding environment that have dierent properties than

the soil that’s been ground balanced. With the second ground

balance, depending on the properties of the hot rock or brick, in

some cases, complete silence can be achieved over these falsing

targets. In other cases, a broken signal may be heard. Broken

sounds indicate that the detected target is a mineralized/hot rock.

To use this feature:

1. Press the Ground Balance button to access the setting.

2. Activate the 2nd Ground Balance feature by pressing the Quick

Settings button. When the 2nd Ground Balance is activated, the

number “2” appears on the screen above the letters Gb.

3. You can perform the 2nd Ground Balance by pressing and

holding the Pinpoint & Accept/Reject button.

When Relic mode is selected, 1st and 2nd Ground Balancing can

only be performed automatically. Manual ground balancing is not

possible.

4. You can switch back from the 2nd Ground Balance to the 1st

Ground Balance by pressing the Quick Settings button again.

Resetting the 1st and 2nd Ground Balance Settings in the Relic

Mode

While Relic mode is selected, the Ground Balance value is reset

by entering the ground balance menu and long pressing the Up

button. When the button is held down, the animation is shown on

the screen. To reset the 2nd Ground Balance value, ﬁrst activate

the 2nd Ground Balance. Reset the 2nd Ground Balance value by

pressing the Up button again.

PINPOINT

Pinpoint is to ﬁnd the center or the exact location of a

detected target.

The LEGEND 2 is a motion detector. In other words, you are

required to move the search coil over the target or the target over

the search coil in order for the device to detect the target. The

pinpoint mode is a non-motion mode. The device continues to give

a signal when the search coil is kept stationary over the target.

When the Pinpoint & Accept/Reject button is pressed, unused

icons are cleared from the screen. The pinpoint icon and the

FerroCheck™ bars are displayed empty.

In Pinpoint mode, the device continues to provide Target ID and

perform metal discrimination.

Press

once

To perform pinpoint:

1. After a target is detected, move the search coil aside where

there is no target response and push the Pinpoint & Accept/

Reject button.

2. Bring the search coil closer to the target slowly and parallel to

the ground.

3. Signal sound becomes stronger and changes in pitch while

getting closer to the target center and the bars in the FerroCheck™

start ﬁlling up from the outside to the inside.

4. Mark the position which provides the loudest sound using a

tool or your foot.

5. Repeat the above procedure by changing your direction 90°.

Actions to be performed from a couple of dierent directions

will narrow the target area and provide you with the most exact

details of the target location.

FERROCHECK™

The Target ID sometimes is not sucient.

FerroCheck™ shows the ferrous/non-ferrous ratio of

targets graphically on the screen.

The FerroCheck™ feature is a proprietary technology developed

by Nokta and is also available on The LEGEND device. It

graphically presents the Ferrous / Non-Ferrous ratio contained in

the target signal, enabling users to perform more accurate target

discrimination.

Ferrous ratio Non-ferrous ratio

Targets such as large iron, rusted nails, bottle caps contain both

ferrous and non-ferrous signals and these types of targets cannot

be discriminated by Target ID and audio response only. These

types of targets may generate a non-ferrous audio response as

well as a Target ID.

IMPORTANT! Until you get experienced with this feature, it is

recommended to dig out all targets. By comparing the targets

with the FerroCheck™ graphs, users can use this feature more

productively to identify targets.

Ferrous Target

Targets with ferrous signal only will be identiﬁed as 100% ferrous

both in Target ID and FerroCheck™ as shown below:

True Non-Ferrous Target

Targets with non-ferrous signal only will be identiﬁed as 100%

non-ferrous both in Target ID and FerroCheck™ as shown below:

False Non-Ferrous Target

When targets such as bottle caps generate a non-ferrous Target

ID, the FerroCheck™ feature identiﬁes them as alloy with ferrous

(iron) content, as shown below.

The target generates a non-ferrous ID. However, it has both

ferrous and non-ferrous signal.

IMPORTANT! For the FerroCheck™ feature to work, the

detector must receive a strong signal. Therefore, FerroCheck™

is designed to work with shallower targets.

Correct Usage of the FerroCheck™

The accuracy of the FerroCheck™ feature is directly related to

correct usage. Therefore, once you detect a target, if you want

to check whether the target is ferrous or non-ferrous with the

FerroCheck™, please pay close attention to the instructions below:

1. You MUST sweep the coil with a large angle over the target and

make wide scans. Make sure that the search coil leaves the signal

completely during the sweeps.

2. You must go around the target and swing the coil over it from

dierent angles, with long sweeps again.

3. The ferrous side does not need to ﬁll up completely. More than 2

bars is enough to identify a target as an alloy containing iron (not a

true non-ferrous target).

MINERALIZATION INDICATOR

Ground Mineralization refers to the naturally occurring minerals

in the ground that aect a metal detector’s performance. For

metal detectors, ground mineralization is caused by iron particles

present in the soil and by salt found in environments such as wet

sand. These factors cause the ground to be either magnetic or

conductive. Both produce false signals that mask targets.

Left side of the mineralization bar shows iron particle mineralization

and the right side shows mineralization due to salt.

Iron

Mineralization

Salt

Mineralization

Salt mineralization operates only in Multi frequency; therefore,

the mineralization indicator is updated according to the selected

frequency.

Iron

Mineralization

In single frequency, only the iron mineralization works. In Multi

frequency, both the iron and salt mineralization indicators work.

The selection of whether FerroCheck™ or the Mineralization

indicator will be displayed is explained in the FerroCheck™ /

Mineralization Option section.

The Salt Mineralization Indicator has been introduced to users

for the ﬁrst time in the world by Nokta Engineering.

TARGET DEPTH

The device provides an estimated target depth according

to the signal strength during detection.

Depth Indicator: It shows the target’s proximity to the

surface in 5 levels during detection. As the target gets

closer, the levels decrease and vice versa.

Depth detection is adjusted presuming that the target is

a 2.5 cm (1’’) coin. Actual depth varies according to the size of the

target. For instance, the detector will indicate more depth for a

target smaller than a 2.5 cm (1’’) coin and less depth for a larger

target.

Shallow target Deep target

IMPORTANT! As the operating frequency of the device has a

direct impact on the device, the estimated depth may vary for

the same target during frequency changes.

QUICK SETTINGS

To access the Quick Settings, press the Down button, Up button,

or Quick Settings button once. When pressed, the quick settings

located below the ID scale will appear, the icon of the selected

setting will be highlighted with a frame, and its value will be

displayed on the screen.

Press

Changing the Selected Quick Setting on the Main Screen

After exiting the menu, the last selected quick setting remains

on the main screen. When the Quick Settings menu is not open,

you can change the value of the selected quick setting on the

main screen using the Up and Down buttons. The changed quick

setting will blink for easier visibility.

The Quick Settings menu has two dierent operating modes.

By factory default, when you exit the Quick Settings menu, the

last adjusted setting remains selected. If you want the selected

setting to always be Sensitivity, regardless of which setting was

adjusted last when exiting the Quick Settings menu, navigate to

the Sensitivity setting and press and hold the Pinpoint & Accept/

Reject button until the letters SS (Sensitivity Selected) appear in

the extra display area. The operating mode of the Quick Settings

menu is then updated so that it always selects the Sensitivity

setting when exiting the menu. This change is stored in the device’s

memory and remains active even after the device is powered o

and on again. If you want to revert the Quick Settings menu to the

factory default behavior—where the last adjusted setting remains

selected—navigate to the Sensitivity setting and press and hold

the Pinpoint / Conﬁrm button until the letters LS (Last Selected)

appear in the extra display area.

The settings available in the Quick Settings menu are displayed

based on the selected mode, frequency, and other settings.

When single frequencies are selected, only the ﬁrst four Quick

Settings options are displayed in the Quick Settings menu. Other

features are not shown, as they are exclusive to Multi frequency.

When the Relic search mode is selected, only the ﬁrst ﬁve quick

settings are displayed in the quick settings menu. Since the Relic

mode operates only in Multi frequency, the frequency selection

option is skipped.

The other modes, except for the Relic search mode, have an iron

ﬁlter setting in their Multi frequency options.

The Stability setting exists only in Beach mode.

If no button is pressed after changing a quick setting with the

Up and Down buttons, the device will automatically exit the

Quick Settings and return to the main screen.

1. Sensitivity

Sensitivity is the depth setting of the device. It is also

used to eliminate the ambient electromagnetic signals

from the surrounding environment and noise signals

transmitted from ground.

Sensitivity consists of 30 levels and default setting is 25.

Sensitivity setting is a personal preference. However, It is important

to set the sensitivity to the highest level possible where no major

popping sounds are heard to avoid missing smaller and deeper

targets. For example; if the noise level is suitable for searching

and is the same at level 25 and 30, then 30 should be preferred.

Park Field Beach

Relic

Gold

Sensitivity is a common setting for all modes and

changes to this setting will aect them all.

Changing the Sensitivity

Open the Quick Settings. Use the Right and Left buttons to select

the Sensitivity feature.

The current Sensitivity value will be displayed on the screen.

You can increase or decrease it using the Up and Down buttons.

Each press adjusts the sensitivity step by step, while holding the

buttons changes it rapidly.

You can exit the menu by pressing the Quick Settings button.

The Sensitivity Indicator is located on the left side of the Target

ID. The indicator consists of 5 levels. Each level represents 6 units

of sensitivity.

The sensitivity values corresponding to each level on the Depth

Indicator are shown below:

The device always starts with the last adjusted sensitivity level.

IMPORTANT! To obtain maximum depth performance, to

eliminate the noise caused by electromagnetic interference,

try shifting the frequency ﬁrst.

2. Frequency

The LEGEND 2 oers Multi frequency, where a wide

range of frequencies work simultaneously, as well as 5

single frequencies.

Changing the Frequency

Open the Quick Settings. Use the Right and Left buttons to select

the Frequency feature.

You can easily switch between frequencies at any time using the

Up and Down buttons.

You can exit the menu by pressing the Quick Settings button.

It is recommended to use Multi frequency in all modes. When Multi

frequency is selected the letter ‘’M’’ appears on the screen. When

a single frequency is selected, the frequency is shown numerically

on the screen.

The table shows the frequencies available in the search modes.

Frequency only aects the mode currently selected;

changes made in one mode do not aect the

others.

Single Frequencies

Sometimes using single frequencies may provide an advantage

over Multi frequency. For example; if you are looking for larger

high conductive targets only, the 4 kHz may be a better choice.

Similarly, if you are looking for shallow, thin jewelry, 20 kHz and

40 kHz may provide better results.

In areas where there is electromagnetic interference, single

frequencies may be less noisy compared to Multi frequency.

However, they will be less sensitive to many targets at the same

time.

4 kHz will provide more depth speciﬁcally for larger silver coins

and relics compared to Multi and other frequencies but it will be

noisy in certain soil conditions.

Multi Frequency

Multi frequency which runs multiple frequencies simultaneously

gives the user the advantage of covering a broader range of

targets on all types of terrains.

Multi frequency, compared to single frequencies, typically provides

more accurate IDs at depth. In addition, it oers maximum depth

for a large range of metals with dierent sizes on wet salt beach

sand and underwater by minimizing ground noise.

Modes and Frequencies

Each search mode has been optimized with frequencies to oer

the best performance. For example, Park and Field mode works

in all single frequencies as well as Multi. On the other hand, the

Beach mode will only perform well in Multi frequency so single

frequencies cannot be selected in this mode. In addition, in the

Beach mode the Multi frequency has 2 options: Multi Wet (MW)

and Multi Dry (MD).

The Gold mode, on the other hand, is optimized to detect smaller

low conductive targets and that is why the lower single frequencies

(4 kHz, 10 kHz and 15 kHz) cannot be used in this mode.

Unlike other modes, Park and Field mode oers three Multi

frequency options: Multi-1 (M1), Multi-2 (M2) and Multi-3 (M3). M1

is more sensitive to high conductors, while M2 provides better

detection of low conductors.

Multi-3 Frequency is ideal for damp, wet, and/or conductive soils.

It reduces the eect of moisture that can cause false signals in

the ground. It also weakens the responses of targets such as coke

and aluminum foil, which give a Target ID of 20–21.

3. Discrimination Patterns

The LEGEND 2 oers advanced discrimination setting to

users for an easier operation. By Using the Discrimination

Mode feature, you can select one of 3 preset discrimination

models or 1 fully user-controlled model. In the Custom

discrimination pattern, each ID can be rejected or accepted by the

user.

The default discrimination pattern for Park, Field, and Beach

modes is “F” discrimination pattern which stands for (Ferrous O).

In Gold mode, the default discrimination pattern is “G” (Ground O).

In Relic mode, the default discrimination model is “A”, which is the

(All Metals) discrimination model.

FieldPark

Relic

All Metal Discrimination Pattern

In this pattern all ID’s are accepted on the ID scale (1-99).

In other words, all the lines on the scale are visible and

no ID is rejected. The device will emit an audio response

for all metals as well as the ground and their IDs will be

displayed on the screen.

Ground O Discrimination Pattern

In this pattern, the device will not receive ground noise

and will not provide any audio or Target ID for it. Target

IDs 1-4 are turned o (rejected) and the rest are open

(accepted).

Ferrous O Discrimination Pattern

In this pattern, the device will not provide any audio or

Target ID for ferrous targets. Target IDs 1 - 20 are turned

o (rejected) and the rest are open (accepted).

Custom Discrimination Pattern

This pattern allows users to create their own

discrimination pattern according to the type of targets

they would like to accept and reject. Rejected IDs will

vary based on the search mode.

Accepting and rejecting IDs are also referred to as ‘’notching’’ or

to “notch”.

You can exit the menu by pressing the Quick Settings button.

With the notch feature, you can accept (turn on) and reject (turn

o) multiple IDs. The lines for the rejected IDs will be erased and

these IDs will be blanked out on the ID scale. The device will not

provide an audio response or Target IDs for these targets. The

use of the ID Accepting / Rejecting feature is explained in the ID

Accepting / Rejecting section.

4. Recovery Speed

The Recovery Speed setting adjusts the speed of target

response.

It allows for separation between multiple targets in close proximity.

Recovery Speed setting enables you to detect smaller targets

among trash or ferrous targets.

The LEGEND 2 Recovery Speed setting can be adjusted between 1

and 10 with 1 being the slowest and 10 being the fastest.

FieldPark

When the Recovery Speed setting is set to a low number, the

ability of the device to detect targets in close proximity decreases

but its depth increases.

Similarly, a high Recovery Speed setting (for example 10) will

increase the ability of the device to detect targets in close

proximity but will decrease the depth.

It is recommended that you practice with dierent metals placed

close to each other before starting to use this setting.

Adjusting the Recovery Speed

1. Open the Quick Settings. Use the Right and Left buttons to

select the Recovery Speed feature. The current value will be

5. Bottle Cap Rejection

Bottle caps are unwanted targets for detectorists and

they are mostly detected as non-ferrous targets by metal

detectors. With the Bottle Cap Rejection setting, you can

discriminate bottle caps as iron.

Bottle Cap Rejection setting can be set between 0 to 8 and the

default setting is 0. This setting work in Multi frequency only.

Adjusting the Bottle Cap Rejection

Open the Quick Settings. Use the Right and Left buttons to select

the Bottle Cap Rejection feature. The current Bottle Cap Rejection

value will be displayed on the screen.

You can change the Bottle Cap Rejection setting value between 1

and 8 using the Up and Down buttons. When set to 0, this feature

is o.

You can exit the menu by pressing the Quick Settings button.

5.1. Iron Rejection Feature in Relic Mode

Relic mode, like the Gold mode, produces signals for both

non-ferrous and ferrous targets by changing the frequency

of the sound according to the strength of the received

signal. In order to distinguish ferrous targets, especially those

closer to the surface, depending on the signal strength received

from the ferrous target, the device emits a lower tone than that of

the non-ferrous targets with the frequency varying according to

the strength of the signal.

You can adjust the Iron Rejection value between 0-5 and 0 is the

default value.

When the value is increased, the probability of emitting a ferrous

tone for deep non-ferrous targets increases.

Adjusting the Iron Rejection

In Relic mode, open the Quick Settings. Use the Right and Left

buttons to select the Bottle Cap/Iron Rejection feature. The

current Iron Rejection value will be displayed on the screen.

You can change the Iron Rejection setting value between 1 and 5

using the Up and Down buttons. When set to 0, this feature is o.

You can exit the menu by pressing the Quick Settings button.

6. Iron Filter

Iron ﬁlter allows desired non-ferrous targets in trashy

sites, previously masked by iron, to be detectable.

The Iron Filter setting operates only in Multi frequency and can be

adjusted between levels 1 and 9.

This setting is not available in Relic mode.

Level 9 will become handy when trying to discriminate some

unwanted mid-conductors such as shotgun cartridges as iron.

Lower Iron Filter setting will increase the probability of ferrous

targets to be classiﬁed as non-ferrous targets and vice versa.

Adjusting the Iron Filter

When the device is operating in Multi frequency mode, open the

Quick Settings. Use the Right and Left buttons to select the Iron

Filter feature. The current Iron Filter value will be displayed on

the screen.

You can change the Iron Filter setting value using the Up and

on screen.

2. Change the volume level using the Up and Down buttons.

3. Press the Power / Settings button once to go back to the main

screen.

Because the volume level aects power consumption, we

recommend you not to increase it more than necessary.

IMPORTANT! When you change the volume of the device with

this setting, the volume of the metal zones adjusted by the

Tone Volume setting will also change proportionally.

2. Frequency Shift

It is used to eliminate the electromagnetic interference

that the device receives from another detector which

operates in the same frequency range nearby or from the

surroundings (high voltage power lines, cellular base stations,

wireless radios and other electromagnetic devices).

There are 19 channels available for all frequencies including Multi

frequency. The default channel is 10.

FieldPark

Relic

Gold

BeachPark

Relic

Frequency Shift only aects the mode and

frequency currently selected; changes made in one

mode does not aect the other modes or

frequencies.

If too much noise is received when the search coil is lifted in the

air, this may be caused by the local electromagnetic signals or

high sensitivity level.

To achieve maximum depth performance and reduce noise caused

by electromagnetic interference, try shifting the frequency before

lowering the sensitivity.

Detectors may become noisy due to electrical interference and

may exhibit erratic behavior such as loss of depth or unstable

Target ID. The Frequency Shift setting allows you to slightly shift

the detector transmit frequency to eliminate unwanted noise.

Frequency Shift can be done in 2 ways in The LEGEND 2: Manual

and Automatic.

In the manual Frequency Shift, the operator listens to each

channel and selects the one with the least noise.

In the automatic one, the device scans all the channels and picks

the least noisy one itself. This feature is often referred to as Noise

Cancellation as well.

Shifting the Frequency

1. Hold the coil stationary and away from the ground.

2. Press the Power / Settings button once. Select the Frequency

Shift setting using the Right and Left buttons. The current channel

will be displayed on screen.

Manual Use

1. Using the Up and Down buttons, go through the frequency

channels.

2. Select the one you think is the one with the least interference.

Automatic Use

1. Before doing a noise cancellation, lift the device up in the air as

shown in the picture and hold it still until the process is completed.

2. Press the Pinpoint & Accept/Reject button once.

3. The device will start scanning all channels, and a scanning

animation will be displayed on the screen during the scan.

4. When the process is complete, the automatically selected

channel number is displayed and a conﬁrmation tone is heard.

Press the Power / Settings button once to go back to the main

screen.

IMPORTANT! Automatic Frequency Shift selects the quietest

channel based on various criteria. In some cases, the selected

channel may still produce some noise.

3. Ground Suppressor

This setting is used to eliminate false ground signals in

challenging terrains. It can be used with both Multi and

Single frequencies. It is recommended to keep this setting in the

o position unless needed.

You can adjust the Ground Suppressor value between 0-8 and 0

is the default value.

2. Use the Up and Down buttons to adjust the Ground Eect

Eliminator setting between 1 and 8. When set to 0, this feature

is disabled.

4. Deep Target Identification

This feature allows non-ferrous deep targets, which are

masked or detected as iron (ferrous), to be detected as

non-ferrous.

You can adjust the Deep Target Identiﬁcation value between 1-3

and 3 is the default value.

This feature can be used in all modes except the Relic mode with

both Multi frequency and Single frequencies.

ferrous both in 2-Tone and 99-Tone.

The Tone Frequency can be adjusted for both Zone-1 (Z-1) and

Zone-2 (Z-2) to any number between 1-30. The user may even

set both zones to the same number. However, this setting is used

dierently in the 99-tone.

In the 99-Tone, the Tone Frequency value set for Zone-1 (Z-1)

must be lower than the Tone Frequency value set for Zone-2 (Z-

2). For example; if the Tone Frequency value set for Zone-2 is 20,

the Tone Frequency level for Zone-1 should be between 1 and 19.

This applies to P-Tone Pitch as well.

IMPORTANT! To be able to distinguish between ferrous and

non-ferrous targets, the Tone Frequency levels selected should

be further away from each other.
