Nokta Makro Legend: You Are LOSING GOLD!

I have made two extremely thorough metal detecting target ID videos so far. One was for the Minelab Equinox and the other two were for the Nokta Simplex (American Coins, Treasure & Trash). I am currently working on one for the Nokta Makro Legend and every time I make one these videos, I learn something really important.
In this case, I rang up all of my gold and there was quite a bit that rang up at 11 on the Nokta Legend scale. Below is an excerpt from the Nokta Makro Legend Target ID Bible.
The problem is, that the Nokta Legend notches out numbers 1-11 whenever the machine is turned on and it is an extremely viable gold VDI number. (See below)
Although well intended, Nokta advises that, "aluminum foil typically generates a Target ID of 11" and "depending on the shape, its ID can go up to 20. While this is true, 10-20 is an extremely viable gold range. My complete findings are in the video below.
I'm very new to MD and I bought a Nokta Gold Kruzer since Gold is my main objective. What I have found park hunting is the same as many others. You can get a signal for what you think is trash and still end up with gold jewelry when you dig it.
Yes it is frustrating, but I dig if I have any doubts. Just call me Mr. Can Salad.
Hi Merrill,
Was this before or after the firmware updte?? I'm looking at getting the Legend but I need to know if it will do what I want it to do... taking price into consideration...
Thanks,
