Hello from Norfolk, U.K

[Mattdetects]

Hi everyone,

I have been metal detecting for approximately one month now and I am very much loving it. I decided to get into metal detecting because I love history and a couple of my friends have been trying to get me into it for about a year now. When I was a kid I used to love "fossil hunting" and I did that at every available opportunity, I know this is not the same thing but the "search" feels the same.

Being a bit of a tech-head and knowing how quickly I get bored of "simple" tech, I decided to start out with a Nokta Legend, despite being warned off getting a "complicated" machine by absolutely everyone I talked to about what machine to get. Honestly, I love it and have not found it to be that complicated at all. I would certainly not tell a new dectectorist not to get something like that if they were confident with tech.

Anyway, I am Matt, this is me and hello everyone!

Welcome Matt!
How are you getting on with the legend? I also have one, was very daunting at first and thought it'd be far too complicated for me but actually I'm really enjoying it

Welcome and happy hunting
Norfolk and Suffolk are rich in finds……
And furniture fittings

I love the Legend to be honest, I can understand why people would point beginners in the direction of a more simple machine though. It is a steep learning curve for sure, but certainly worth it. When I went out on Sunday I changed from 2 tone to Pitch tones, I will not be going back to 2 tone, have you tried Pitch tones?

Cheers, Matt.

Thank you, I have found handfulls of bullet casings on my 2 beach trips so far, looking forward to getting onto some inland digs though.

Cheers, Matt

I've recently stepped to 60 tone, was using 6 tone prior to that, haven't messed with pitch or thresholds etc.
I'm usually running M1/M2 (M3 if it's damp), 60 tone, field, G discrimination.
