legand tone

[Jed in NC]

I use a penny, Nickel, Dime and quarter to set the pitches by, I set up a 6 tone program nickels come in at 24-26 so that bin is set at 13 on the pitch, pennies come in at 43 and dimes at 45-46 I set that bin at 21 on the pitch, Quarters ring up at 50-51 usually but I have dug a couple of Quarters that was bouncing 48-51 again most of the time at 50-51 so I set the pitch at 30, Eisenhower $1 coins ring up a solid 55 so they fall in the same bin as a quarter in my settings the way I have the pitches set for my 6 tone setting you can very clearly tell the difference between clad coins it gives you a very distinctive LOW,Medium and High tone for each coin.

my tone breaks are set at 7,16,27,37,and 46 47-60 is the 6th bin

Bin 1- 1-7 volume 4, pitch 3
Bin 2- 8-16 volume 10, pitch 5
Bin 3- Nickel Bin 17-27 volume 10, pitch 13 (Nice Low Tone) have found a couple of 10K rings in this bin range also
Bin 4- Scrap range 28-37 volume 10, pitch 5
Bin 5- Pennie and Dime range 38-46 volume at 10, pitch 21
Bin 6- Quarters and Eisenhower $1 coins volume 10, pitch 30 this bin is screaming Dig Me

As you can see by setting the pitches where I have them set it gives me a very distinctive, Low, Mid and High tone for U.S clad coins, I also use this in A (All Metal) Mode

I do not use the threshold in Park,Field, or Beach mode because that threshold in those three modes to me is a pointless threshold and it only works if you have discriminated TIDs out and even then all that threshold in those three modes does is to alert you that you have just swung over a discriminated target, why discriminate anything if you want to know you have just swung over something.

Just set up my beach program to use oldkoot's tone breaks. Thanks!

I don't own a legand. I once owned a kruzer. I liked it a lot, but Hated the tones. To digital. By listing to the legand sound off while watching on line the tone sounds closer to the nox. can any of you users comment on the tones first hand?

Hi, you can set your tones and tone breaks to your own liking in the custom mode and save them. Factory default tones R pretty good as well.

Didn't realize you didn't care for the high tone Jimmy. Not adjustable on the 6/700s. Maybe try 2 tone. Good luck. Mark

Not so much the high tones or low tones but the mid range that sounded so much like a flute concert. on the nox. to my ears. I just traded in my nox 700 for a legand. Should get it sometime next week. This will for sure, be the last detector ill ever get. so like it or not ill have to enjoy it.

I definitely prefer the Legend tones over the Simplex+, to me the Simplex sounded like someone was choking a goose so I got rid of its.

Over a decade on the etrac and CTX ruined me when it comes to tones and the Legend sucks in comparison just like all the others I had. One of the reasons I dumped the Nox 800 shortly after I got it was the poor tones when I still had a functioning CTX to use. I had hopes the Manticore would reproduce the tones with all it's adjustments but the paltry finds remaining in my areas does not justify paying the freight to get one. Legend tones have some nuance to them , better that the F75 or the Deus and many of the other digital formats out there.

I’ve been doing this for quite a few years….As far as I’m concerned, all the digital detectors go from bad to worse as far as tone goes…The nuances in the tones are little to none….Analog machines have tone for days…..Digital machines give you more bells and whistles, and are much cheaper to produce…hence…digital machines in the market place…..Put a Minelab Sovereign GT back in the marketplace with a few modern tweaks, and put $600 price tag on it and watch what happens !
