The Legend is here!

Who else is watching the live stream?

Already it's clear that Nokta's positioning this new machine very differently from Deus II. They haven't mentioned a price but the intro video suggested it would be competitive with the Nox. I also had to chuckle at the not-so-subtle shots they've taken so far at the Nox, like the comment about leakage underwater.

I've never owned a Nokta, but this could be my first.

Ive owned two and im impressed with both

USA price thought to be around $645 for the entry package, and $765 for the pro package. Those are not the msrp prices (which are higher).

I wonder what Minelab will counter with....

 

[Tahts-a-dats-ago]

Pro package comes with an additional coil (6 inch) and outer battery. Not sure what else it comes with as the feed went in/out at that point.

Both packages come with 11 inch coil and bluetooth headphones.

Can't even log on.

Nothing subtle about which machine they were targeting LOL

They don't have to from what I have seen.
Unless The Legend kills the NOX in the fields and water it won't even hurt Minelab at all.

Wow, that would be really fantastic if true.

I think it will. Its going to be smf for beach hunting and waterproof (where the nox has had a lot of issues) AND it basically has Fe/co meter giving you info like on the etrac AND much less $$$ It also has a better build quality.

Minelab does have the first-mover advantage on the SMF front, so I'm sure people will still buy Noxes.

However, there's reason to believe that the Legend will be an improvement on some of the Nox's weak points (housing leaking underwater, weight/balance, price).

And don't forget, the Simplex is probably the best intro-level machine out there today. From Nokta's point of view, that's a crowd of people waiting to be sold a higher-end machine like the Legend.

 

[greenmeanie]

I do like they added the Clock but as far a leaking we can't say that won't happen.
And if they are sure it won't leak then why only a 2 year Warranty?

 

[Ted S]

It's always interesting to see a new machine come out! I still think Minelab has something up their sleeve. But will it be able to compete price wise with the new Nokta? This is going to get interesting!

 

[Just coils]

Any prediction when the Legend will be available?

 

[Tahts-a-dats-ago]

Dilek said the Legend will start shipping in December, but didn't give a specific date.

 

[abcoin]

Just got a dealer email offering preorders for $635. That's less than I was expecting!

 

[Dan(NM)]

Wow, that would be really fantastic if true.

My dealer just quoted me the $635 for the basic package and $765 for the Pro package.

 

[MattBullSummerville]

Well there must be so much interest in The Legend that N/M site has crashed.

ML has the majority share of the multi freq market, if this Nokta detector isn't substantially better than a Nox then it's not going to gain much of the market.
