You Might Be Walking Right Over The GOLD.... (TIPS From a Beginner) Nokta Simplex Edition

- Hey everybody! "How To Find Gold" was one of my top searches when I first got a Metal Detector. I still consider myself a beginner in the hobby of Metal Detecting (2-3 years) There is always so much to learn during the Treasure Hunting experience. I try to share some of the tips that helped me find my first gold, plus discover the true possibility of what could be under the dirt...
It doesn't matter what metal detector is used... gold can read similar to aluminum foil on just about all metal detectors, if you are discriminating out aluminum foil or pull tabs there is no doubt you are missing some gold.. but you are also saving yourself from digging a lot of trash! Is it worth it?
For me... that highly depends on how I am feeling that day and where I am hunting.
There are advanced users out there that have been using metal detectors for years and years.. I myself am just getting into the hunt recently around 2019. I always hear that "location" is the most important part.. which I truly believe! However.. even on the best beach in the world.. if you want all the gold the beach has to offer.. you've got to be willing to keep an open mind!
I Metal Detect mostly Parks and Beaches... Coins are fun to find and add up to a nice total eventually.. however for me the real excitement comes when you see that shimmer of gold in the sand. There's something about digging up a bunch of junk and then finally when you least expect it... BAM! Out comes some shiny GOLD from the dirt or sand to pay you back for all that junk you have been digging up.
Have any other tips?
I have a secret to finding jewelry with a detector. Do NOT use a detector with VDI numbers at all. I have an old Whites Coin master pro that has no numbers and it is the one machine I almost always dig rings with because I am never worried about the number on the screen. That is why detectors that they call beep and digs like Tesoros were so good. Yes you will dig a lot more trash, BUT you will dig a lot more treasure too. If you aren't willing to dig the trash then you probably aren't in the right hobby.
You said it!
Helpful thank you
Thanks for the tip. On my 1st day of hunting.
That's you, I've been detecting for years and don't dig everything. Have plenty of fun. Old farts.
Exactly. I can tell foil with a Tesoro Vaquero because of the soft edges. Analog talks once you develop an ear for it.
Great video! I have the old Simplex+ and you are spot on about finding the gold! I learned by trial and error but you are right about digging the pull tabs and foil. I get your exact same signals on my machine.
There's a lot of knowledge to digest about metal detecting. An open mind is Always learning. Nice collection of gold jewelry.
I found my first gold ring after watching one of your earlier videos. It depends where I'm at if I dig the iffy signals, in a tot lot or open field yes I will, I've found a lot of gold that way. If I'm around in a park around picnic tables I won't. Basically if it's in an area where there is a lot of foil or pull tabs I stop digging those signals.
I like how you say Tips from a Beginner.
In the detecting world 2-3 years is considered a beginner, but I think the younger generation is changing that.
A person can learn a lot about detecting/detectors in 2-3 years
A silver video would be awesome as well.
I think the range videos are really helpful...
I don't have a beach in town but lots of grass, & parks, even some dumps turned into parks.
Thanks again.
Good Luck everyone
Me too
Awesome video
I swing the Simplex
Very helpful reminder
Thanks!
Can you do this with the Vanquish 540 so we can get more reference. Thanks.
Namaste 🙏- I appreciate the rambling and detailed explanations. More info, the better.
Not bored at all. Ive been hunting 40 years. It good to review what you covered today. Easy to get into bad or lazy habits. Id like to see you do a similar video for the legend. I own both legend n simplex. Your fresh approaoh is appreciated.
Thanks Tom! I'll get out there and do some more experimenting soon.
what about the beach mode, doesnt it discriminate 0-30 ? so we better off using another mode at the beach right?
I have found 4 rings, 2 gold rings VDI's 22 and 42 and 2 silver rings VDI's 95 both. Yes, according to get gold rings you will need to dig 18 to 50 VDI's You just need to pay attention to the Tone sound, it should be very consistent, no pitch sound at all when you swing coil, this sound must be strong on the VDI. I dont know if I explained myself.
Hey man! I'm getting my first detector, and it's the Simplex Ultra. I've tried to choke down a bunch of videos so I have some ideas before it arrives, but I have to choke down my own vomit while listening to them ramble. I love your style, and I've learned so much from this video of yours!
Thank you!
Hey thank you so much for this video. I have a nokta simplex I'm going to start watching more and digging those vdi's
I have been blessed with gold and the Simplex. I have found that small gold will a times give nothing but a high tone then as you get closer a number. Found .999 gold bracelet and was a 48-50
I loved your extemporaneous tutorial on how to find gold with the Simplex!Hard work and perseverance finds gold! 💰💰
Thank you. I really enjoyed your video. I run a Nox & still loved your video.
Foil seems to be the desired numbers. Darn it!
I get lots of foil.
Nice video man! This is the kind of stuff you only learn through experience and by digging many pounds of aluminum.
brilliant really injoyed hope your week is going well 👍
I have to say that lately your videos have inspired to get back out and dig more crap lol. I have found a few rings, no gold though. I think I need to visit a richer neighborhood 😂😂. I've been using the AT Max but am contemplating getting a Simplex next year so this was a very informative video.
Why haven’t I thought of this? Richer Neighborhoods! 👍
Great video, love the way you showed how gold shows on Simplex+
Good info, and reminder for anyone with any detector. Thanks.
Awesome job brother on sharing great content 🙌🏼👍🏽🤙🏽 my biggest gold rings have rung up like pennies. So from foil to silver, “if in dought dig it out” 🙏🏽🤙🏽
Thanks for doing this video. I DO pass on most of those low numbers thinking they're foil.🙄 But didn't realize there bigger ones jump around like that. Lots of useful info for the Simplex. Still haven't found gold and now thinking I know why. 🤔🤷🏻♀️
I know right
I have found gold but it's been a long time
Same!
Awesome video I just got a simplex maybe a year ago and inhabnt used it 25 times. I've started this year hot and heavy with it.
This video was not boring at all, it was super informative, thanks, I learned that I may as well completely ignore VDI’s and I should be digging EVERYTHING! if I want a gold ring, not the ideal scenario but necessary
You hit on a good point…what and when you dig is situational… I’m much more likely to dig aluminum signals in a wood chip playground or on the beach than I would be if I’m in a trashy park
Great information, i have a Simplex, thanks, ✌️ peace from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪.
Good video dude. I'm Still getting used to my Legend and this helps. I think the signals would be somewhat similar to the Simplex.
Thank you.i use the simplex and love it.
Thanks for this video. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time.
Yep , my continental button from 1776 read 19 on legend and 28 on simplex
Great video! If you ever do another one like this try to switch between modes for the different VDI numbers and tones it will make.
Gotta get out there and do some more experimenting! Thanks HBK
Excellent video! Loled at the 21 being trash foil.
Amazing!!!! I have the minelab 440, Thanks for the lesson!!!
Very informing and you did a great job of describing how gold rings and reads. I have a Whites MXT Pro and i am a believer in Whites but this another video showing those Nakro machines. I would like to buy one of those machines. They seem like really good metal detecters. Thanks for sharing. Great collection of gold there!
Thank you for the video very informative i have dug a bunch of silver with my simplex but never no gold but thank you for the advice now I know not to pass over them signals happy hunting
Great vid brother. Good points and you’re absolutely correct on the way gold hits like foil and pull tabs. No telling how much gold I passed over my first year or so til I figured it out.
Very helpful video. Keep them coming!!!
This video is very important, it is necessary to rest well and have good energy to have strength and extract all the targets that are in the range of 18 to 35, including jumpy tones, since good finds can be obtained there. Very good video, thanks mate, greetings from Colombia.
Very good my friends, Buenos hallazgos con el Simplex 🇨🇱👍🙋♂️👏
Liked the video lots of good stuff in it. Thanks
That video was excellent you got to dig the trash before you find the treasure👍
Good video ! Guess I gotta change my thinking when I’m digging ! 👍
down to earth keep the videos coming
Thank you for helping..
Very informative Florida! I have to admit, I am guilty of passing up some of those numbers.
As usual a good and informative video 👍🏻🤟🏻
What's funny is our 2 largest gold nuggets found with a metal detector prospecting where on around 7" deep,that's another subject lol .Another good video
I appreciate your input for sure, thanks again
Great information…..Thanks
Hey . Thank for doing this video. I picked up the symplex last November, and I can't wait to get out there and swing, maybe some rings .
Started April 2024. Thanks for your information at this point I dig everything 😂
Love the cat
Good video, thanks!
my Garrett AT Gold just gave up the ghost. Looking at picking up the Simplex....watching lots of your videos. Thank you
100% awesome video information was useful ...
Please keep the simplex videos coming since it's becoming dated it's hard to find new information on it everybody's on to the legend and manticore
Will do! Thanks for hanging:) Simplex is here to stay.
Great job on sharing your findings on the various detectors and how they work. Line your videos
This has to be the best video that you have ever done do All of them like you did this one
Awesome video Austin. Thanks for sharing is type of videos. Helps us beginners.
i have suspected that trash signals could potentially be something good for a long time but this video has confirmed this. Very useful and informative video and i just made the decision to dig all targets, unless like you said you are in a very trashy area then maybe not in those cases. Ty
Just because you sound like you wondered if this was going to be helpful I have been metal detecting for a couple years now and I still really appreciated the information. I have not found much gold with my Symplex and this may be why. thanks👍🏼👍🏼
My favorite detector for gold is still the old analog. White’s 6000Di pro has been my nugget gun for 20+ years. Neither of my digital detectors come close for telling me there’s gold underfoot.
At a beach, I dig most every signal….at a turn of the century trashy park, my goal is to pick thru the trash and dig the deeper, fainter higher vdi signals, in hopes of thee older coinage and silver jewelry. When I say “higher” vdi, I mean targets that start id’ing around a zinc penny (or Indian/early wheat penny when deeper). I do get some buffaloes and V nickels and the occasional gold ring when I want to dig nickel vdi signals, but you’ve already discovered that gold, based on its shape, size, and purity can vdi just about anywhere on a metal detector….
I bought a vanquish 540 over the Simplex, equinox 600 and ORX and yes can you do this testing for the Vanquish 540
I can do some experimenting with the Vanquish for sure 👍
is it different when buried in dirt maybe 2/3 inches.????
Good morning.
Just watched the video, very informative.
Obviously the signals would be slight different dependent on the ground conditions, depth, wet/dry, position of the item in the ground ie on edge.
But the video definitely gives you the idea.
Just wondering how you are getting such stable id's? I run 2. 77 as I like how it works, but has always been very jumpy signals.
I've learnt not to read ID and just go off tones, but if there is a more stable download I may try it
As a beginner I really appreciate this Video
I appreciate it greatly. Thank you very much.
Thank you that was very informative😊
nice explained thanks for the video 🍻🍻🍻
Can you help me? I need a strategy for using the simplex. I always find 99,5% aluminum :( no coins no gold no silver)
Like what signals should I always dig?
How many cm is 1 bar of the depth indicator?
Could really use a good method
YES I LIKE NOKTA MAKRO BEST GOLD METAL DETECTOR WATCHING FROM JEDDAH K.S.A THANKS FOR YOUR VIDEO "
I'm kind of an ADHD detectorist. If I continue to search for the same thing I get bored. If I'm constantly looking for silver coins I get bored. I like a variety of stuff. When I first get to a new spot I seriously dig everything just to see what it is. Or sometimes I'll cherry pick all the high tones them go back again for the mid tones. Just depends on the day and how ambitious I'm feeling.
The deus 2 makes it allot more interesting. I can just about tell you what type of pull tab is coming up from what numbers lol. Like the big square ones that don't have a hole come up at 80 or the modern ones with the rounded edges come in at 64 65. Or the tail of the ring pulls come in at 58 59. Just the ring of the ring pull comes in around 61 just like nickels. Oh and there are the old ring pull bottle caps that come in at 63 lol. Yeah it's a fun game to play. But honestly I don't dig much in the foil range. But that's probably why I've only dug 1 gold ring in the 3 years I've been detecting.
@K.Beth you might find this helpful. @KBeth
Not really helpful, there are too many other things that ring up those same numbers,, I dig it all!! 🤪
Great video. I’m guilty of some of this lol
Great content for sure. Was hoping you would have demonstrated an open and closed earring. Maybe another time. Take care and see you on the next video.
Sweet video to beginers and professional alike
If a person has the mindset of beep and dig, b/c foil could be gold. Does it really matter what machine you use? I am trying to figure out which one to buy. Ricomax vs Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. Whichever one I go with, will be the first one I ever use.
How is the 11inch base versus this one your using? And thanks for taking the time to show your findings. I just ordered this machine and im excited.
My question, do you notch iron qhen in a highly mineralized area ? I hunt lakes alot and get into a lot of iron chunks and still run beach mode. I grabbed the simplex in place of the tesoro tiger shark
Sometimes with the Legend I will, it might not be performing at the highest potential but at least it's usable with ground eliminated. If you're new make sure to try to ground balance in the water, I've even heard people say they use 0 ground balance & it helps eliminate the noise. 👍
M nice video. Very informative.
I admire your comment regarding the ambulance.
have you detected rose gold? would it be a different reading from gold? thank you
what about the beach mode, doesnt it discriminate 0-30 ? so we better off using another mode at the beach right?
You found Tucco's grille 🤣
😂
What is a good metal detector for a price of £200
Hello Austin
i have a quest metal detector small gold ring it is actually reading as a fifty it goes to 99
Hi, one question...what number is that coil??.I heard the sp22 matches with the Simplex but I see yours for the first time, Im a beginner 😄👍
It's the SP24 coil (: I like it a lot for trashy spots.
Thankyou Thankyou for answer. 👍👌
My 24carat ring hits a 29 30 on the Nox 800
I've heard a few examples of high karat gold reading extremely high! I guess it's just because the purer the gold usually the more conductive?
Sweet! Congratulations!
I'm thinking 10k gold jewelry shows up as scrap metal because 10k is bearly gold. I think if you had higher gold content or nearly pure gold, it'd show up higher on the range
Love your cat.
Thats why I went back to analog machines.
If gold can give an iron tone I’ve definitely passed over gold, but every time I dig iron signals it’s ALWAYS iron. Still waiting on my first gold 😭
Let’s go let’s go treasure
Really eye opening.
I am waiting for the ground to thaw so I can go swing my simplex
HOPEFULLY YOUR NEW HELPER CAT IS OK LOL 🤣😋Ⓜ️✝️ !?
What is this type of metal detector?
It's called the Nokta Simplex :)
Well I guess I have to go back over all my areas because I didnt different anything unless it was a 40 or better...I F@@CKED UP BAD!!
Anyone notice the face in this clouds, beach scene at the beginning
Respekt ❤❤❤❤
