I got back into metal detecting during the Covid era with a Vanquish 540 and now want to upgrade to either a Nox 700 or Nokta Makro Legend (with the upcoming LG30 coil package coming soon to the US). Pricing and functionality seem great for both. I want a detector that will help me find more silver and perhaps perform better at beaches and in highly mineralized soil. Thoughts?

If you are a veteran they give a discount and the 700 will be 594 which beats the legend in price so will that now move that to #1 ?
Lean towards the Nox? If you need a cane yes i would learn towards the nox.. Now if MileLab guaranteed the nox for life to solve the flooding problems then yes I'd would think the Nox is a good well built metal detector. If they came out with a waterproof cover to put over it I'd buy a few BUT we have not had any problems with our Legend.
The Legend is waterproof and the Nox is Maybe. Is the Nox a great metal detector? Yes
CHOW!
I hear you Tony! The 600 800 flooding issues were well documented. I haven’t heard anything about the 700 or 900 flooding. The tiny metal detecting internet would have blown up!
Value goes to the Legend and performance to the Nox but both are very similar. I’ve never tried the LG30 coil but I can’t see it being much different. If money doesn’t play a factor I would lean Nox in this scenario.
