Key Differences and Upgrades in the Nokta Legend 2

Expanded Target ID Scale: The Legend 2 has an expanded 01-99 Target ID scale, offering more precise and granular target identification compared to the Legend's 01-60 scale. This can help users better differentiate between various types of buried metals.

Enhanced Audio: While the original Legend had a wide range of audio tones, the Legend 2 refines this with 7 specific tone options. This allows for a more tailored audio profile to suit different hunting styles and environments.

Lighter and More Compact Design: The Legend 2 is a noticeable upgrade in terms of physical design, weighing less than its predecessor. It features a fully carbon fiber shaft (mid and lower section), making it lighter and more balanced for extended use. The shaft also retracts for easy transport. 

Additional Search Mode: The Legend 2 adds a dedicated "Relic" mode, bringing its total to five distinct search modes. This provides more specialized settings for different types of detecting, particularly for those targeting older artifacts.

Improved Pinpointing: The new model includes an upgrade to the pinpointing function, ensuring the Target ID remains stable and visible during the process, which saves time and increases accuracy in the field.

FerroCheck™ and Software Improvements: The Legend 2 features smarter software, including an improved FerroCheck™ feature designed to help detectorists avoid digging up modern iron trash like bottle caps.
