Harsh words? No, honest opinion on what I have seen, and I point my finger more at the 'testers' who obviously didn't do a very good job.

Must be what happened to the fors relic??

As of last October in a letter from Dilek I was going to be getting a 'Test' unit. I was looking forward to it because I have the time. I'm retired and can devote ample time to use a detector, plus other units, to find what I consider to be strong and weak points, aw well as things I might feel are needed.

A Legend Test unit never arrived, so No, I didn't get one and therefore didn't spend time with one to learn it. Obviously a lot of the so-called 'Testers' didn't seem to spend enough time to learn the goods and bads of the detector they were sent because it should have been properly 'tested' and any changes made in features and adjustment functions ahead of time and before it was introduced. Obviously, that didn't happen and what we got appeared to be more of a 'rush-to-market', in my opinion, because it was not properly 'tested' and designed prior to release.

Oh now I get why your Bashing the Legend your mad cause you didn't get one to test.

Should it have needed all of the 'updates' already and when done have new issues due to a fresh update? And now be offered with an update, V. 1.09, so folks can use it and report to the manufacturer what issues they have or things they wish to see .... in another update with updates to follow?

So basically what your saying is that if you would of received one to test then you would have no prob with the updates?? Well thats what you would've agree to if ya were a tester obviously.Hmm interesting.

Do I think The Legend is a good detector? No, not at this time but I hope they get everything worked out. I also hope they get on the testers or use people who want to test and encourage a good product and not just use a unit a bit and say 'OK' when it really isn't.

It was a detector from the beginning. Maybe some of these tester should get away from these surface tests like nails next to coins on the surface. Go out and actually spend some time finding stuff in the ground 2 or 3 inches or more at least. Last I checked detectors were made to find stuff in the ground. At least thats where 99% of finds I find and see in videos are located.

When the FORS Relic prototype was checked out, before the name change or at the new name change to Relic, almost everything worked, but a couplie of things needed attention. Both Keith Southern and I discussed and agreed on changes we felt necessary and conveyed that to Dilek. Then the engineer, Alper, quickly made two new control housings that they sent to us with the corrections (call them update but different) and we checked it out and agreed everything was fine! The Relic was then introduced and went into production.

There were some issues with the Anfibio 19 prototype that I brought to their attention and sent in the whole control housing for them to check out.

What does this have to do with the Legend?? Sounds like more bashing cause you weren't a legend tester?? Haters gonna Hate.
