Im a newbie in the world of Metal Detecting and just got myself a simplex + WiFi, out for the first time tomorrow, seems like I made the right choice, have watched quite a few different review vids on detectors and the simplex seems to be a fantastic bit of kit for the price beating nearly all of the more expensive brands and you can use it 3mtrs under water, what more could you ask for
It does the job, straight out of the box.. Perfect for anyone especially the beginner.. for the bucks you get some bang and the big guys dont like the newbie pissing on their £1000 machines.. lol.. Cheers for the genuine review Sid 👍
Thanks for doing a redo on this comparison. Those were some really tough, deep targets in disturbed, wet ground. I am a Deus and Equinox happy owner and I have used the Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer and the Racer 2. All are outstanding detectors. I was not surprised by your results in this second Simplex video. They mirror what I have experienced. The Simplex, having Anfibio/Kruzer/Racer DNA is just amazing for the price......Thanks
Well Sid, I think you survived that with ass in tact! 😂 Good test mate, it was what it was, no more no less. The machine clearly provides good performance, and simple useability at a fantastic price. Well done Nokta/Makro, looking forward to receiving mine when I get back off my hols.👍
Thanks for taking the time to do these Sid. I would have tested the Deus in the preset Deep mode though, I have found it excellent on harder deep targets. As for the N/M Simplex, clearly a superb machine for the money ! ATB MMMD
For a £300 machine its excellent, and it was turn on set up and go, never had to alter any settings unlike both the Deus and the Nox which Sid spent most time with. Plus you can also alter the frequency on the simplex which blows that argument about doing that with Deus. I use a Nox and I am impressed with the Simplex. I don't marry a machine and try to justify what I have spent I don't care what price it is as long as its good in Iron, sensitive and Deep. The Simplex looks like it does all them plus its waterproof.
wow !! that simplex looks like a dam good machine for the money.not long after buying the racer red and after watching this video im thinking of flogging it..cheers lads for the honest test video.
Gooday my fellow treasure hujter. I love your vlogs.. I wanetd to show my fellow treasure hunters some love. I saying hi all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦... Please keep making them they are awsome.
I have a suggestion , on your next test use a single frequency machine , a multi frequency machine , an FBS machine , and a Pulse Induction machine. I bet that one will open some eyes. Two of the machines are squawk boxes , guess which ones ? Still a good test !
Great vid Sid,Looks a very capable machine, all for under £300! My only worry with it is the dreaded coke, I've got fields full of the stuff. Very tempted though as a backup machine
Great video and test, I for one would like to see it up against the leading beginner machine the Garrett Ace 250 seeing as that is the market it is up to contend with.
Great video I'm getting one this weekend. My brand new vanquish is in the shop being repaired only one month old. Minelab customer service is shady at best. Great video and channel. Love to swap subs not that U need it..😅
That wee simplex+ is nice & compact, deploys fast, light..looks to be on par with some of the high end machines.. will put a dent in the Garret/vanquish sales, that's for sure!
Great test Sid but I think we've fallen into the ' how deep do'es it go' trap again when we all know it's the usability of a machine in difficult ground that produces the finds.
100% its more than just depth that counts on a machine... speed and as you say the ability to get in amongst the difficult conditions is a massive factor... still to test it in that sort of scenario but will get round to recovery tests asap....
Good unbiased test I have a nox I know it performs and finds the goods the same as Deus users kno the Deus performs but the simplex looks great for the money 👍
@@englandshistory definitely all machines have there place , personally I really don't like the scratchy tones of the noktas, Deus,tecnetics, I like the flutey tones of the at pro and the equinox so for that reason I would stick to my nox because to me that is important I'm just glad there's a good mixture of really good machines out there to suit everybodys likes and needs👍
Have done similar tests over the years with different machines ,coming up to date have found deep targets with the Simplex that the Deus can't find or the signals are so broken and weak wouldn't bother to dig .Most finds with the Deus in the clod and small ,find same with Simplex and many small deeper targets, find the balance and weight of the Deus suits me more at 73 but after using many machines Simplex for the bucks take some beating ,love the vids Sid keep them coming.
Good video Sid, and yes i am a Nox user and ex Etrac user...The Nokta seems very capable no nonsense machine, for £300 i'll get one to see what my Nox has missed......Blackadder
The simplex will be going into the top selling machine out there . . Not just for the Unbelievable price it's spanking other machines backsides . . Baaaa haaaaaaaa
What were the Deus settings? Sorry I have a bad english. In the woods I used to use HOT program, 8 khz, reactivity 0, silencer -1, disc-2. I think it would pick up more targets.
I would love to see 3 people out detecting and each signal they get then each machine swings over it then it gets dug so it's a real kind of signal that's been lying in the ground etc. The red makro was a great deep machine and was better than machines twice the price. Keep up the good work
Yeah same but to be fair the customer service was very good at replacing the coil lug faults. The simplex seems like all you need in a detector maybe multi frequency added would be the finished article
This machine has been a long time coming,,, I always said the so called higher end machines were not worth that much money,,, big game changer now with the simplex,,, just received mine today,,, once the rain stops that’s it I am out there with pure raw detection power
Simplex on the same level as Equinox, and even better than my beloved Deus, that is more than very good for a detector in the 300 € range! I also got my Simplex three days ago and already compared it with my Deus, the Simplex is really very good and absolutely does not need to hide behind the high-priced detectors, on the contrary, it can learn to fear these detectors!
I compared my multi cruiser equinox and Deus , was amazed at the depth of the cruiser until I Remove the target from the hole and with the cruiser I still had a strong signal only to discover when you set them up for maximum depth , they will read the hole with no target after it is filled in . To avoid this you need to make sure you run a positive ground balance and don't overdo it on the sensitivity setting . all 3 are good machines but if I could only have one the Deus would work best for me , not because it's any better , but is far more user-friendly when you are old and weak ..
Should you not ground balance the deus and when you turn it on keep the coil pointed up. Just things I have been told to do before starting to detect. And also spin round 3 times and touch your nose then your toes or was it toes then nose. 🤣👍 Great videos and I appreciate what you are doing keep up the good work
Walking The road same as most machines if others are really close they or you may need to do a freq shift but not always and i never had an issue on the weekender we was on other day... over 100 people there
Thanks for doing the tests Sid, really appreciate it. One thing is for certain, it's certainly got a lot of people talking. Whilst it maybe putting a few people's noses out of joint, for those getting into the hobby or who may not be able to afford the bigger brands, this really looks like an affordable option, that appears to be matching the big boys! 👍🏻
Burrowing Badger yeah in the depth tests its doing pretty good ay... as you say its deffo great for people that dobt want or cant spend £1000 on a machine.. this will be a great choice and will fair well on finds too 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Nice honest video Sid. Ignore the beach trolls. The video was what it was, and anyone not liking it could always try making their own videos and seeing people's reactions to their efforts. There's more to a machine than just depth of course, but this was a depth test and seems pretty straight to me 👍 Keep up the good work Sid 👍👍👍
Well said! I have been searching YT for a week to see all comparisons before I purchased this unit. I don't have the funds to spend big $ and can only get one. I tried the AT max (sucked) tried the G2+ (also sucked) lost $ selling both. I do not want to do that again. Every test I have seen so far on the Simplex is outstanding against far more expensive machines. If people want to dis it make a video! I saw one video where they did everything they could to make their favorite unit out preform and failed. Admitting it, then saying they still would not have a Simplex. Oh well..
@@linr2870 there will probably be some scenarios where the extra features on top machines will out perform the simplex as it is only a "budget machine" but for the most part of detecting it is mega.... i havnt came across a scenario yet where its not coped well... i am looking to find some ground that is covered in nails ect and see how it copes there but for the price the simplex is WELL worth the money
@@linr2870 I honestly dont think there is a machine that offers so much for the money... telescopic stem, 11" dd coil, waterproof 3 meters, wireless headphones, ground balance, freq shift, software updates, vibration, 4 adjustable modes its deffo worth the money for sure.
I have a Simplex, it's a fabulous little machine. I would say it was clearly the winner of that test as you didn't alter it once from its original setting. The others you had to tweak and mess around with. I nearly bought an Equinox 800, so glad I didn't now.
Thanks Sid, new subscriber here, really enjoy your videos, professional quality with a natural feel and find myself laughing with many of the participants. Ok, unfair question ...but if you where to run to and grab just one detector from the above test which one would you take with you.
trouble is on most land the nox is unusable running full sens and most of those tones ude never dig because to scratchy and numbers all over the shot personly that would be just digging iron all day long on that tone,most nox users wouldnt dig numbers bouncing that bad..but that nokta is what it is same as the racer mk2 makro built the best and third of price lol
Thanks for doing these tests mate. im a deus user and tbh its never been the deepest machine. if you do any more tests consider the deep program or that hf deep program by adam n lisa for the deus. that said, looking at the video im impressed by the simplex!!!
Tbh the dues has never flagshipped as a deep machine anyway imo, the simplex is on a different level from what we see on these tests, but like everything there’s cons to having a machine that will detect deep, it makes you dig twice as deep for the same foil shit too! It’s a young mans game digging deep holes all day long. 😂😂😂
I detected 5 months with the Makro Anfibio. My opinion is that it did find some deeper targets in wet ground. But missed an awful lot of the smaller stuff. I sold the machine when I realized this. Bought the Nox 800 and was absolutely inpressed finally finding the good stuff again that I missed with the Anfibio. For me no Simplex or Anfibio ever again. Fair enough more bucks more machine...of course no offense to beginners the Simplex can satisfy to start the wonderful hobby
The video is a bit old but I think the subject continues, and will continue to be strong. The Deus played with many disadvantages, such as the lack of its 34x28 cm coil. Also you do not "cancel" the effect of the ground with the option "expert" in ground balance. Not to mention that the correct program with its proper settings was missing. Even so! is an excellent video worth sharing, for further discussion.
It was an eye opening test for sure... but it was just a test on that day in those conditions... will vary everytime test is redone.... but what impressed me on this test was the lack of having to mess with settings to get very good performance from the simplex... yes after scratching my head for a while and messing with settings im sure i could of scraped a better result for nox and deus... but to be fair to simplex it did well on the day
Hello. May I ask for your opinion. I have a Makro racer 2 at the moment. I am thinking to sell it and get a Simplex. In Simplex I like that it's waterproof, rechargeable and has software updates. What mashine is better and more serious? Is it worth changing racer 2 to simplex? Will I not regret it later on? What are your thoughts? Thanks
Dalijus Karvovskis ive only used the racer 2 briefly... it seems a ok machine but cant really compare the two..... the simplex is a very good affordable machine and i think you will like it over the racer
Hi. May I ask a question about the Simplex. When you found an item in the ground and use a pinpoint function does it show the distance to the target, the depth in cm or inches? Thanks
@@dalijusk2806 You get a bullseye image on pinpoint the closer the target is to the coil you get a small bullseye(louder audio) if further away you get more rings larger bullseye(quieter audio)... its very effective
I don't use the Deus any longer, but I'd defo have dug the first coin signal. If you don't dig iffy signals with the Deus, you don't get the deep coins.
What an absolutely ridiculous test.......only joking fella 🙊 seems a fair test to me. I have never owned or even used any of those machines on the video, I have an ETP. But that Simplex......damn, it's good value for money. I'm definitely getting one in the new year.....if they haven't ran out of them by then 😔
Told you(s) the Deus wouldn't fair much better :), Simplex won again, I would say it might be worth trying the nox in single frequency (10/15KHz) as the Simple is 12KHz?, even so I think the Simplex is going to sell well...
For price performance the simplex does look good. I might even like it better than my nox 800 which I do like but always thought a bit iffy on the smaller silvers.
Hi Sid what's the simplex+ like on separation etc my son wants one for his first detector I use AT Pro what you think about the at pro Compaid to the simplex+ cheers mat great video yet again
Not that depth means much in 99% of the places most folks hunt but 2 things I noticed in your nox settings that will increase depth (especially in low mineralized soils) Hunt in all metal. No notch. If there is little to no iron, reduce the iron bias setting. I also lower iron bias in heavy iron patches but jack up the target separation to 7. To me, target separation is king... would LOVE to see these 3 machines tested in heavy iron with small non ferrous targets. The Nox, set up correctly, will find tiny non ferrous targets in TONS of iron. Especially with the small coil, and will still have decent depth.
Its all about how a dig-gable signal is defined on the test the Deus makes a noise whilst going over a target, this is 'not a signal we would dig we are told, i would not dig it either, but it could be something (and in this case was) all the detector is telling us is that there is a piece of metal down there but the detector is unsure what it is, so it gives a mixed signal, deus owners just go back and dig some of the signals you have rejected you will be surprised what you are leaving in the ground, all detectors do this, that is what is happening in the video test the Simplex is telling you there is a piece of metal down there but it does not know whether it is ferrous or non ferrous, it is not a clear signal you are hearing but a non descriptive grunt, this you will get every 2 yards as you detect.
Tone Break - can you give me your settings for field 2 please? I followed a video and the settings they gave me totally ruined field 2. Best regards, Scott
EnglandsHistory - As Tone Break says ALWAYS noise cancel, i noise cancel with every new field I go to and it makes a difference Honestly and I’m not ground balancing. My good friend set up field 1 for me after settings I followed from a video absolutely ruined my field 2
Actually I concur with Sid, I never noise cancel unless its unstable then i will manually adjust using the plus and minus buttons. I ALWAYS GB though. I would say that not searching in all metal is something i wouldn't recommend as it seems to amplify Iron falsing and would also like to know what the Iron Bias setting was on the Equinox when the test was done. All in all though it does show the Simplex to be a damn fine machine for coins in polythene bags and jam jars :-)
I have an equinox and a simplex for that matter i have an xp orx and i can tell u without a doubt the simplex flat out cannot touch any of those 3 machines out in the field, it really isnt even close..the simplex is a great little machine for the money, but in my soil in indiana the simplex will simply stay in the closet except when i may need a spare machine for a friend or something like that.
That Simplex wiped the others out. One question, were you running the Nox 800 with the new updates, or the original software? I put update 2 onto mine last weekend, and yesterday went over a small patch I've done a couple of times, it pulled up three coppers, a small buckle, a button,, a glue tube, two bottle caps, a pull-tab, and the usual scrap bits, that it missed previously. I know it is the same patch, as it is between a bench-seat and a canal bank - about 10 feet wide and 50 long.
Show me what the Simplex could do show me the ground balance show me pinpointing I really want to see that then I can make my mind up on buying one or two
Im a newbie in the world of Metal Detecting and just got myself a simplex + WiFi, out for the first time tomorrow, seems like I made the right choice, have watched quite a few different review vids on detectors and the simplex seems to be a fantastic bit of kit for the price beating nearly all of the more expensive brands and you can use it 3mtrs under water, what more could you ask for
It does the job, straight out of the box.. Perfect for anyone especially the beginner.. for the bucks you get some bang and the big guys dont like the newbie pissing on their £1000 machines.. lol..
Cheers for the genuine review Sid 👍
Getting ready to order a Simplex myself. It will be my first 'not a toy' machine, and it looks to be way better than it's price would indicate.
I feel there needs to be a 2nd referendum, clearly this isn't the result a lot of people were hoping for...
BAHAHHAHHAHA
@@englandshistory hell done with you're videos mate. I got into metal detecting because of you're videos.
After your input on this I sure will be getting me one of these , thanks for sharing. Al
The simplex is gonna be a game changer.! It's an awesome machine.! 👍
Thanks for doing a redo on this comparison. Those were some really tough, deep targets in disturbed, wet ground. I am a Deus and Equinox happy owner and I have used the Nokta Makro Multi Kruzer and the Racer 2. All are outstanding detectors. I was not surprised by your results in this second Simplex video. They mirror what I have experienced. The Simplex, having Anfibio/Kruzer/Racer DNA is just amazing for the price......Thanks
I Have protypes of the new Quest 30 and 60 and the blow past my simplex easy.
What would you say about the upcoming EVO 6000. Game changer?
Well Sid, I think you survived that with ass in tact! 😂 Good test mate, it was what it was, no more no less. The machine clearly provides good performance, and simple useability at a fantastic price.
Well done Nokta/Makro, looking forward to receiving mine when I get back off my hols.👍

I have a suggestion , on your next test use a single frequency machine , a multi frequency machine , an FBS machine , and a Pulse Induction machine.
I bet that one will open some eyes.
Two of the machines are squawk boxes , guess which ones ?
Still a good test !
Quedé sorprendido,. Wow, veo que mi Simplex no está tan mal.
Gracias por hacer el vídeo.
Great vid Sid,Looks a very capable machine, all for under £300! My only worry with it is the dreaded coke, I've got fields full of the stuff. Very tempted though as a backup machine
Great video and test, I for one would like to see it up against the leading beginner machine the Garrett Ace 250 seeing as that is the market it is up to contend with.
My buddy bought the Simplex+ as his first detector, and I must admit: I'm pretty impressed with that machine!
Great vid Sid ate keep them comin congrats on that Saxon find 👍👍👍 look forward to your next vid
Great test, would love to see a test of the Simplex up against an older bad boy the Fisher F75 in boost mode.

The red makro was a great deep machine and was better than machines twice the price.
Keep up the good work
I had a red Makro, deep machine but shit quality
Yeah same but to be fair the customer service was very good at replacing the coil lug faults. The simplex seems like all you need in a detector maybe multi frequency added would be the finished article
Hi Sid great vid. Can you tell me where on the coil of the Simplex+ is the centre for pin pointing. Cheers keep up the good work.
baldybob1 centre of coil
This machine has been a long time coming,,, I always said the so called higher end machines were not worth that much money,,, big game changer now with the simplex,,, just received mine today,,, once the rain stops that’s it I am out there with pure raw detection power
WOW Dale! More amazing finds M8! Love the Crotel bell esp'. Cheers, John.
Does it find small gold nuggets or wire gold in Iron rich soil?

OMG. Another old and week bloke.
I need help to choose machine simplex or do deus??
got to love these Nokta-Makro introductory detectors
Nice vid sid you won’t please everyone but for 299 you’ve just got to say wow
Since water is a natural conductor of electricity, doesn't it amplify the electromagnetic signal coming from the coil?
Should you not ground balance the deus and when you turn it on keep the coil pointed up. Just things I have been told to do before starting to detect. And also spin round 3 times and touch your nose then your toes or was it toes then nose. 🤣👍
Great videos and I appreciate what you are doing keep up the good work
I put my order in for one when it gets to the States
Hi thanks for the upload. Do you know how the simplex behaves when other detectors are close by like on rally days.
Walking The road same as most machines if others are really close they or you may need to do a freq shift but not always and i never had an issue on the weekender we was on other day... over 100 people there
You couldn't have done anymore than you did, to be fair to the MD's on test in the 'wet field' scenario. Good on ya.

Hello from Malaysia...i love this video...
I have a Simplex, it's a fabulous little machine. I would say it was clearly the winner of that test as you didn't alter it once from its original setting. The others you had to tweak and mess around with. I nearly bought an Equinox 800, so glad I didn't now.
These guys do great reviews, thank you
I am just after buying a new Simplex love it. ✌️ Peace from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪.
Great video sid I use deus but the facts are there going to to get one as a backup.
Thank you good sir for a actual honest review you sir have character and I subscribed for that very reason.
Cheers buddy, welcome to the channel 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great testing Sid 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Sid, new subscriber here, really enjoy your videos, professional quality with a natural feel and find myself laughing with many of the participants.
Ok, unfair question ...but if you where to run to and grab just one detector from the above test which one would you take with you.
D rifle well at the minute i mainly use the deus...
Thanks Sid for your reply.
trouble is on most land the nox is unusable running full sens and most of those tones ude never dig because to scratchy and numbers all over the shot personly that would be just digging iron all day long on that tone,most nox users wouldnt dig numbers bouncing that bad..but that nokta is what it is same as the racer mk2 makro built the best and third of price lol
You guys always hit water at 19 inches??? WOW! ah.. RAIN! Out here in New Mexico, USA, most rain evaporates before it hits the ground!
THE TEST IS LEVEL MASTER! Greetings from Tomasz and Kerstin, Germany
Which machine is better??
Great video and a very honest test. You clearly tried very hard to get the nox and deus to perform, but the simplex just nailed it!
Can you pin point with the Simplex?
Great to see the cheap Simplex rule here 😂. I've compared it with the AT max, and i must say.... Simplex nearly topped the AT Max
Of course it would. The Deus and Nox are much better machines than the AT Max.
Are you any nearer doing a side by side Nox 900 v Manticore Sid?
Thanks for doing these tests mate. im a deus user and tbh its never been the deepest machine. if you do any more tests consider the deep program or that hf deep program by adam n lisa for the deus.
that said, looking at the video im impressed by the simplex!!!
Tbh the dues has never flagshipped as a deep machine anyway imo, the simplex is on a different level from what we see on these tests, but like everything there’s cons to having a machine that will detect deep, it makes you dig twice as deep for the same foil shit too! It’s a young mans game digging deep holes all day long. 😂😂😂
Dug by a Pug just turn sensitivity down 🤪👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
6 dislikes, don't suppose these are the NOX brigade :))))))
I detected 5 months with the Makro Anfibio. My opinion is that it did find some deeper targets in wet ground. But missed an awful lot of the smaller stuff. I sold the machine when I realized this.
Bought the Nox 800 and was absolutely inpressed finally finding the good stuff again that I missed with the Anfibio.
For me no Simplex or Anfibio ever again. Fair enough more bucks more machine...of course no offense to beginners the Simplex can satisfy to start the wonderful hobby
That's quite incredible that the Deus didn't do better..that said i have always been a sucker for dark horses and always backed up the "little ones".
That simplex is looking really good..👍
Makes me even more excited for my simplex to arrive!
The video is a bit old but I think the subject continues, and will continue to be strong. The Deus played with many disadvantages, such as the lack of its 34x28 cm coil. Also you do not "cancel" the effect of the ground with the option "expert" in ground balance. Not to mention that the correct program with its proper settings was missing. Even so! is an excellent video worth sharing, for further discussion.
It was an eye opening test for sure... but it was just a test on that day in those conditions... will vary everytime test is redone.... but what impressed me on this test was the lack of having to mess with settings to get very good performance from the simplex... yes after scratching my head for a while and messing with settings im sure i could of scraped a better result for nox and deus... but to be fair to simplex it did well on the day
@@englandshistory Exact. I agree with you. Thanks for answering.
Hello. May I ask for your opinion. I have a Makro racer 2 at the moment. I am thinking to sell it and get a Simplex. In Simplex I like that it's waterproof, rechargeable and has software updates. What mashine is better and more serious? Is it worth changing racer 2 to simplex? Will I not regret it later on? What are your thoughts? Thanks
Dalijus Karvovskis ive only used the racer 2 briefly... it seems a ok machine but cant really compare the two..... the simplex is a very good affordable machine and i think you will like it over the racer
Thank you
Hi. May I ask a question about the Simplex. When you found an item in the ground and use a pinpoint function does it show the distance to the target, the depth in cm or inches? Thanks
@@dalijusk2806 You get a bullseye image on pinpoint the closer the target is to the coil you get a small bullseye(louder audio) if further away you get more rings larger bullseye(quieter audio)... its very effective
May they include the distance in inches and centimetres later on in the update? What do you think? Thanks
I don't use the Deus any longer, but I'd defo have dug the first coin signal. If you don't dig iffy signals with the Deus, you don't get the deep coins.
I don't like the Deus a all !
Being looking at the garret at pro how would it stand up to these 3 machines ? It might make me rethink getting it all comments welcome thanks 👍
Sam Bottomley garrett at pro is also good on depth not sure how it would fair on the day but not a million miles in it
I sold my AT pro, and has pre ordered the simplex+
What an absolutely ridiculous test.......only joking fella 🙊 seems a fair test to me. I have never owned or even used any of those machines on the video, I have an ETP. But that Simplex......damn, it's good value for money. I'm definitely getting one in the new year.....if they haven't ran out of them by then 😔
Good vid sid, simplex kicking ass yet again
Told you(s) the Deus wouldn't fair much better :), Simplex won again, I would say it might be worth trying the nox in single frequency (10/15KHz) as the Simple is 12KHz?, even so I think the Simplex is going to sell well...
really enjoyed your video, and your pained honesty-Dale from Illinois
Rebecca Anderson 🤘🤘❤️❤️ cheers rebecca
Gud vid m8 fair test the underdog wins for me lol
For price performance the simplex does look good. I might even like it better than my nox 800 which I do like but always thought a bit iffy on the smaller silvers.
Who is the best 1?
Hi Sid what's the simplex+ like on separation etc my son wants one for his first detector I use AT Pro what you think about the at pro Compaid to the simplex+ cheers mat great video yet again
Andy Rowley its hard to say after only a few days with it... so far seems a very capable machine
Its terrible
Not that depth means much in 99% of the places most folks hunt but 2 things I noticed in your nox settings that will increase depth (especially in low mineralized soils) Hunt in all metal. No notch. If there is little to no iron, reduce the iron bias setting. I also lower iron bias in heavy iron patches but jack up the target separation to 7. To me, target separation is king... would LOVE to see these 3 machines tested in heavy iron with small non ferrous targets. The Nox, set up correctly, will find tiny non ferrous targets in TONS of iron. Especially with the small coil, and will still have decent depth.
Its all about how a dig-gable signal is defined on the test the Deus makes a noise whilst going over a target, this is 'not a signal we would dig we are told, i would not dig it either, but it could be something (and in this case was) all the detector is telling us is that there is a piece of metal down there but the detector is unsure what it is, so it gives a mixed signal, deus owners just go back and dig some of the signals you have rejected you will be surprised what you are leaving in the ground, all detectors do this, that is what is happening in the video test the Simplex is telling you there is a piece of metal down there but it does not know whether it is ferrous or non ferrous, it is not a clear signal you are hearing but a non descriptive grunt, this you will get every 2 yards as you detect.
Simplex good md?
Greetings from the coal region of Pennsylvania, great video brother, you bring Clive with on any of these videos?
I never saw you ground balance the Simplex?
Never noise cancelled the nox, first thing you do man I know that and I’m a numpty :D
The Rhins Ranger only need to noise cancel if its not stable and it was stable
Tone Break - can you give me your settings for field 2 please? I followed a video and the settings they gave me totally ruined field 2. Best regards, Scott
EnglandsHistory - As Tone Break says ALWAYS noise cancel, i noise cancel with every new field I go to and it makes a difference
Honestly and I’m not ground balancing. My good friend set up field 1 for me after settings I followed from a video absolutely ruined my field 2
Actually I concur with Sid, I never noise cancel unless its unstable then i will manually adjust using the plus and minus buttons. I ALWAYS GB though. I would say that not searching in all metal is something i wouldn't recommend as it seems to amplify Iron falsing and would also like to know what the Iron Bias setting was on the Equinox when the test was done.
All in all though it does show the Simplex to be a damn fine machine for coins in polythene bags and jam jars :-)
@Tone Break gold modes are the deepest
any idea how it holds up on the beach the simplex
ive never used it on the beach but hear it isnt too bad...
The guys on the equinox 2nd programs take a little deeper. Try it on Field 2!
Great unbiased video Sid, interesting results. I wonder how the Alter 71 would do?
Very nice depth but let's put some trash in the hole and see witch one will separate the best ??
Exactly this I was thinking....
I have an equinox and a simplex for that matter i have an xp orx and i can tell u without a doubt the simplex flat out cannot touch any of those 3 machines out in the field, it really isnt even close..the simplex is a great little machine for the money, but in my soil in indiana the simplex will simply stay in the closet except when i may need a spare machine for a friend or something like that.
Not biased towards Makro noise boxes then?
That Simplex wiped the others out. One question, were you running the Nox 800 with the new updates, or the original software? I put update 2 onto mine last weekend, and yesterday went over a small patch I've done a couple of times, it pulled up three coppers, a small buckle, a button,, a glue tube, two bottle caps, a pull-tab, and the usual scrap bits, that it missed previously. I know it is the same patch, as it is between a bench-seat and a canal bank - about 10 feet wide and 50 long.
hamshackleton its on the second update nit the fe2 update
I have a new simex and it's got no chance against a deus or my etrac?
New subscriber really good video
Looked very fair Guys 👍👍😆
Simplex power 🇹🇷🇹🇷
herpe simplex
nothing to do with turkey but ok
Oust....
Haci simplex dahami iyi yoksa Xperia deusmu??
@Abdurrahim BAYRAM teo emmi kim gardaş
Show me what the Simplex could do show me the ground balance show me pinpointing I really want to see that then I can make my mind up on buying one or two
