- Park metal detecting. We are trying out a new metal detector. We are hitting a park with the Nokta Makro Simplex Plus Metal Detector. This is not a review but our first time using this detector.
We plan on using the Simplex + a few times before giving a final review of the detector and how it performed.
#metaldetecting #metaldetectingchannel #simplexplus
The Nokta Simplex+ is the best detector value out there for beginners. It also makes a great back-up detector. It's really a true "turn on and go" detector.
I'll be putting up a special deal on them later today on the site.
Oh, and if you like this one, wait till you try the Legend...
Thanks... we just proved the fact that you can turn it on and go.... BTW for those that have read this comment... this is where we got our Simplex
@@DigginSoCal if you check our website, Nokta just came out with a package we're cackling the Christmas special. You get the wireless headphones and a Nokta pinpointer that won't interfere with the Simplex+, and a hat. They make great products for a really fair price.
What is the price on this model?
@@52Mirza $280 for just the detector, and $375 for the detector with wireless headphones and a pinpointer. You save a lot by getting the package deal. The headphones are usually around 85 on their own.
Does this model has an extended stem that can be fixed at any size? I cannot be hunched back I prefer standing up straight.
You know what? I don't know if anyones said this before, but thank you Christine for working as hard as you do and still finding the time to make these videos for all of us.
OMG Christine ~~~~ "Grass Crack" I'm laughing so hard right now 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Good hunt with the new Simplex nice….⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great hunt guys. I love my simplex+ . Thank you for sharing
I’m so glad to find someone using the simplex. That’s what my wife and I swing. We love them, specially at the beach. But it excels as well at the park. I moved from an at pro and love the simplex. It has multiple frequencies too. That allows my wife and I to hunt side by side. Great hunt, that’s for taking the simplex for a walk. Hours of fun for very little investment.
Very cool Mark. We are really pleased with our first try with it and will def be taking it out more especially as we learn more about it.
Christine is best described as"droll"😂....
And Bill is the"straight man!' Your posts are always welcome...
Tampa bay FL 🤓💖🧁
Great hunt. I've had my Simplex + for over 3 years now an it's the only machine I've own,d that's paid for itself within the warranty period. The SP 24 snipper coil makes this machine a step up and is a killer detector. Good luck and happy hunting.
Thanks Michael. We decided to buy it as a "try it out" and then give it away but I am going to really check it out before I decide. We really liked it after our first use.
The Simplex it great machine.
Not too shabby. Have a good weekend guys...
Thanks Nora
12khz Single freq. Vs Multi Vanquish, Lets See a Duo video .. I like The Simplex but it has been hanging off the wall for a couple yrs now. Simplex found me lots of silver rings the first yr I had it. plus a lot of coins. It is an amazing detector. In my opinion Simplex has the Best recovery and separation detector I have ever swung.. Thanks for a great video to watch this morning.
Thanks for the info... yeah we have not decided this detector's future. Keep or give away...hum. But we will use it more before we decide. I do like the idea of the duo.
Great dig, thanks for the happy video I needed this, this morning
You are welcome Laura... thank you
Cupcake money for sure. Good morning Bill and Christine.
I like the way the simplex did good
Morning... yeah, I am waiting for the place C likes to open so I can go get her some of those delicious bundt cakes... oh my
Just got a simplex+ and the more I use it the better I like it. Thanks
Simplex+ here as well . And I love mine too
Good to know. So far so good.
Okay... the stickers had me laughing. You looked like you got caught with your hand in the cookie jar lol
lol...Yeah, I got a little side tracked... But I do like stickers
Lover the video. Never used a simplex before. Can’t wait for you guys to try it on the beach. 👍❤️
Thanks Scott... first impression was positive. Def gonna get it to the beach
Bill's swift "cat like" reflexes grabbing that key ring .."ring" was amazing!
LOL... funny you mentioned a cat... Christine just caught a feral cat and now she has a pet...lol
@@DigginSoCal lol 😆
@@DigginSoCal Thats funny, keep an eye on it .....could be swiping some of the bling!
I love my simple X.!!!! Found 2 silver dimes at a new park I found today!!! A rosey and a merk!!!😜
Wow, very cool. For my first run with the Simplex I was happy with it
Hello Bill and Christine
Yes! Give it away! I need another chance of not winning. 😂
LOL....we will decide in a couple weeks. But if we like it we may buy another one (Simplex) to give away since we are reaching 10K
You need to get the SP24 coil. It's an awesome machine combo for park hunting. Try it at the beach as well. Curious how well it does. Don't forget to ground balance it to zero in the wet, park2, and turn down the iron volume. I love mine!
We have them in stock. I'll add them to the site later today.
Noted❤
Glad to see you guys tried out the simplex as it's one of my favorite detectors. As Christine noted the simplex has a tone that's different than virtually every other detector and when it locks on to a quarter you know what you've got as it's like a pitbull grabbing onto your arm. But the interesting thing about it is the more you use it the more you can understand through its tone what it's telling you more than almost any other detector. If you keep it you need to get the sp24 sniper coil which makes it a killer in the tot lots and it's lighter to swing. You can use it in the soft dry sand with no problem but if you go down to the wet sand you have to ground balance it down properly so it doesn't false unlike your equinox and vanquish because it's a single frequency machine. Great choice!
Great info and if we keep it we will def get the 24.... Good first impression for sure.
Great video. I started with the Simplex and absolutely loved it. Great machine. It's a solid backup to my Nox 800 as well.
I agree... it seemed like a solid unit but I will give it some more time.
Welcome back to both of you’s bill and Christine! Let’s go to find things and Diggin’! Love you guys to watch CZcams so much!
Thanks Dinno... thrilled to be able to be here!
Thanks for sharing a new tool ,good to see you both again 👍👍
Thanks Greg. We will get the Simplex out some more....first impression was decent.
I am glad you did this detector I have been thinking of getting one.
Very cool... I am gonna get it to the beach and at least one more park day... should be fun
That was my first machine. I didn’t care for it. However everyone has their favorite.
Good morning Christine and Bill
Love it use my simplex daily.
Nice....
Great to see Christine takes her car 🚘 noise’s seriously, unlike Bill 😂
LOL... yeah, we know how rocks that department...
💕 love my simplex+👍🤓👍. I have Ben using the small coil, and I love it. The 🎧 are light and comfortable and you can hear yr surroundings as well when using them. I think the more ya use it the more you'll like it?, Or not? 😂 Lol
Everyone has Thier preference.
A good machine consists of what machine the swinger feels most comfortable using. And the more a person learns Thier machine, (whichever Thier choice of brand)
They find Thier comfort level.
I do love my Garrett pinpointer too,
Some reason the Nokta hasn't learned to love it yet🤓but I do👍
Nice hunt Bill & Christine, thanks for sharing. It's always nice seeing different machines and products
Awesome comment... totally agree. We originally planned to use it and then give it away... I think we will work with it for a while and decide later. Our first go with it was a positive experience for the most part and to be honest, I liked it better than the expensive Deus. Time will tell.
Sure miss the so. Cal parks,spent so much time playing in them,we lived next to ham park Lynnwood CA. It's gone know but not for gotten,I rember one day my friend Larry found a half dollar under slide in the sand,and we were eight yrs. Old the good old days, thanks for all the park work. Latter devo.
Thanks for sharing... yeah the good old days... awwww
She's a keeper buddy! The Simplex too!
Good job on both! Hard to find a girl with a sense of humor and in flannel! Just got my Simplex today and it's pouring rain. Decided to check out some vids. 😎
Thanks guys! And Goober! I like learning about my machine with two down to Earth people! We have the same haircut too buddy! I haven't had a hair day in 30yrs!!
Make some more videos and keep on keeping it real. Ooorah!!😎
Those tones....ugh...LOL Great show n tell! Sorry, catching up after 2 week vacation.
Nice... vacations are good. Yeah, I am on the fence on this detector. I see pro/con's but we will try it out for a while and then see if we want to give it away.
The Simplex is an awesome machine... but like all machines, u need time with it. THE BEST value machine on the market.. a close 2nd is the Legend's new pricing model. WOW
Hun... I agree... Treasure Island Metal Detecting (pinned on top) suggested we try out the Legend too. May get it and have two Nokta detectors. Time will tell
I’ve had my Simplex 6 months now and I love it! The SP24 coil is awesome!!!
Just looked it up. very nice
We have it in stock.
The Simplex is a great machine
So far so good...
Awsome
We can't wait for the review as we are looking at the Simplex. Ya'll rock
Thanks.... gonna try and get it to the beach and I may actually read the manual this time...lol
I've been using a Garrett Ace 400 for about 5 years now and ready to upgrade in a couple more years when I can find enough to pay for it lol. I've been watching so many videos and still unsure about my next purchase. Great video Bill and Christine, always enjoy coming along on your hunts.
Hum...just do your homework. I do like this machine at about $260.... The Vanquish is a bit more...decisions decisions....
You got to get into some of the other little features like the vibrating handle that you don't have to hear the squeaky near as much it's nice when your night hunting around a lot of people you can turn off the volume and turn on the vibrate and you don't have to be making a bunch of crazy noise. I got a couple of these for my kids they're pretty good at being able to adjust way short and they're not super expensive
Interesting... it does have a vibrate feature which we will have to try. Sounds like a great feature
the ball is a grapeshot. some are lead, some are copper/ bronze and some are cast iron. they go inside a canister and the canister was like a grenade that exploded in the air over the enemy. they was made of different sizes. there would be 9 of them in a canister and they would be like a bundle of grapes hanging off the vine inside and that's why they are called grapeshots.
Now that is an interesting fact(s)... thanks
The Simplex is amazing
Enjoyed the video 😊
Thanks Annette
I was one who asked you to check out the Simplex. I prefer using the smaller coil around tot lots
I seriously found carry in the Utah park last week
Bought it. Tried it. Selling it. It is a decent machine for the money, but I think there are better choices for a beginner. and I’m past this.
I bought it because it is waterproof and the machine I’d been using for years wasn’t. Unfortunately the Simplex just didn’t fit my needs.
Positives:
-VERY waterproof
-Basically functional on targets
-Reasonably priced.
-Rechargeable built-in battery.
-Charge lasts all day.
Negatives:
-Heavy. Swings like a brick.
-Audible speaker goes from too quiet to embarrassingly loud.
-The length adjustment clips on the shaft break easily, without abuse.
-Noisy
-Not compatible with Garrett pointer!!!!!!
-Poor to non-existent warranty support.
Wow... thanks for the detailed comment. I personally have 20 minutes using the Simplex and I already noticed several of the Cons you listed.
Ahh the Simplex, a love/hate relationship. It was my 1st TID machine after years of swinging Tesoro’s. The Nokta brand pinpointer doesn’t interfere like the Garrett and some others. It’s a solid deep machine and durable as can be, especially for the cost. Takes some time, like most, to get through the “learning” curves. It led me to the Deus, pounds difference to swing, apples and oranges.
Thanks Paul. We will probably play with it for a couple weeks and then decide if we want to keep it or give it away. I am pleased with it after the first try. My poor Deus is collecting dust but that is my fault because I have been to busy to learn how to use it.
Nice little experimental hunt guys ! I have been thinking about getting one of those, have one sitting in my cart on sports365 for about a month now lol from the vids I have seen on them they seem to be a pretty good machine, my problem is is bleed Minelab lol Love my Nox 800 and Vanquish 540 , so it would have to be Super amazing or it would probably sit in the closet slot lol love your shows guys keep em coming ! And as always wish you both Super Good Luck on all your future hunts !👍😎
Interesting. I will get some more experience with it and decide... I am already leaning toward keeping this one.
You can change the frequency on the simplex to avoid the issue with the pinpointer interference
Yes, I just watched a video that went over that. I will try the Garrett pin pointer with the diff frequencies and see how it does. If not good, I have the pinpointer that from XP that I can try.
Noted
Fun Video, I've had a Simplex for about a year ½. You both did really well with use it for the first time. For you it must be like learning a foreign language
Yeah, it did help playing with it the day before but it was one of the easiest detectors to turn on and hunt... I only watched a couple people using it and glanced at the very thin manual....
Hi kids! Another glorious day for you two!
Thanks sir... First again I see...lol
Awesome seeing you guys out n about.trying different detecto rs. Morse code 😃😃😁😁
Yeah, we want to get familiar with some different detectors.
Have u guys tried a Garrett 300. If you have what were your thoughts. Thanks
Now that’s just weird Bill, tickling a worm 🪱. That’s a first.
Yeah... lets leave it at that...haha
Great video, I,m nokt a through and through. They're great machines having the Legend and multi kruzer. Don't get me wrong minelab, deus, garrett are all great machines but horses for courses. As with all new detectors there's a learning curve, but once passed that happy days. Like the videos keep up the good work👍👍👍👍
Thanks Paul. I can see why you like the Nokta... Although we had a few snags, it was really simple to turn on and start hunting with. We will do our homework and get it out some more for sure.
Nokta is a real up and coming detector company, and they listen very closely to their customers. We are really impressed with them.
ever use the gm1000 in the park. big coil. low gain. saw a guy at the beach swinging his equinox way to fast and a few inches above the sand. be in red mountain ca the 12. and out by barstow ca the 19. have a good day.
I love my Simplex I bought the sniper coil for it and I’m thinking about getting the SP 24 coil
Nice... if we keep it we will at least get the 24....
Hey you found my "Jim" pendant lol
Press the pin point button 1 time to mute and unmute
yes... that is a great feature... can't find the button on Christine...lol
My main machine is a Vanquish 540 Pro and I have an X-Terra 305 coming as my back up. I had a Whites Prism IV but a friend had pawned it a few years ago and now he is replacing it with the X-Terra 305
Not familiar with the X-Terra but Christine is in love with the Vanquish
@@DigginSoCal I know why I love mine too.
Like from Ukraine)
I would like to see how this machine does at the beach. It looks like a very expensive machine. Happy hunting!
We plan on giving it a beach try and looks are not everything.... only about $260
I like the Simplex...I usually have it in All metal and sensitivity down two or three from the top...Hardly buried car, but you asked for a number, so it counts🙃
Yeah, we will try and figure this out a bit more... good info, thanks and yes, I was only messing with her...she found it fair and square.... lol
Love my plex + it’s a silver magnet…..
Awesome... looking forward to getting to know this detector a bit better. Thanks
The JM is Jane Marie jewelry collection.
OK... thanks for the info
the simplex works pretty good .how good does it distinguish targets
You two are a crack ups. 😂
Thanks John... glad we can put a smile on your face...
What model pin pointer are you using?
Did you try park 2? So much better for picking up targets and solid #'s . Thx for the vid . Happy hunting and GL
No... but we will try it out some more. Will try it at the next park
@@DigginSoCal yes it's definitely worth keeping. Give it sometime . You'll start enjoying it. Great machine.
In pass, have you or Bill ever use any old metal Detectors? I've use 5 different kinds, and I liked Whites, XLT and DFX. I've hunted with other people with new Detector, and I could still find good things with my old DFX. Keep up good hunts Ray
I think the oldest was the Tesoro we tried a week or so ago. I could pull out my AT Pro... it is probably my oldest... have had it for years. But, I agree... new tech does not make bad tech void.
BIG BOY
Well now we know there are at least 5 pull tabs in the jar 🤣
So you gonna count as we find them...lol
Ha ha Christine is a gooober
Oh yeah...my favorite line
I forget to unmute all the time lol
Yeah, easy to do
Morning, Simplex seems to be working great finding targets. Is it an expensive detector?
Thanks...it is under $300 which is what we are trying to stay under for trying new detectors.
🤣🤣😊❤🍿
Is Christine wearing a Pendleton???🤓
Go get Arnold to metal detect with you guys
The Terminator... I think he would set off the detector too much...lol
@@DigginSoCal he's fun to work out with
Just noticed she's running the coil 2-3" above the ground is the stick all the way out? Not critiquing just noticed that's all
Just remember to turn off the mute button
LOL... yes we kept forgetting
MY BIGGEST COIN SPILL WITH THE SIMPLEX NWAS 27 COINS IN A 6 FT CIRCLE
It sounds like it sends morse code also.
If you get blue shoes make sur their suede
We see what you did there...lol
Can you tell how much was it for?
I believe it was about $260 which is a good price range for a detector with it's features.
Hey if Bill hungry for some worms come back to Washington and I can get you some big night crawlers
The detector and the garrett pinpointer are the same freqency so they chatter.
You got to mute the simplex when you use the pinpointer
So yes, we did figure that out but how many times did we forget to unmute it...lol
@@DigginSoCal i still forget
Is that the Nokia simplx or a cupcakes I hear
Has to be cupcakes...I think they are interfering with the signal...
🐛👈 tickle tickle 🤣
Yeah, I almost edited that out...lol
Thinking twice before you buy Nokta brand .I’m not sure the quality is not good or I’m just bad luck . Mine stop working after digging for 4 times .The worst thing is the poor after service. There is only one guy who’s in charge in the service. How and How long it’s going to be fixed all depending on his mood.Mine detector started not working in June . Until now July 28 it’s still not fixed. Warning! Think about the after service before you buy it unless you want to have headaches after one month return warranty expired.
