Getting started with your Simplex- How to tune your Hot Rod detector! Timestamps added.

[@metaldetectingwarrelics3639]

One of the best how to videos for the simplex that i have watched.

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Thank you for your loveky words. Now there is a new 'basics' video to compare it to. Feedback very much welcomed. :)

[@yaaarightt4127]

Agreed and I have watched many

[@Mylifelovingit]

Learning as much as I can about the Simplex+ before I get mine for Christmas

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

I am trying to pre-learn lol before I even order my first machine. You are an excellent teacher. Thanks and havagudun Lori.

[@helenberesford4170]

Same here…I’ve watched a lot of videos and Lori is the best teacher by far! I’m looking forward to getting out there and putting these helpful tips to good use.

[@TheDarkKnightDetectorist]

fantastic video. so many people are just too eager to give up on the simplex without really getting to know it. mine has found me plenty of rubbish BUT also found me two silver hammereds too. 😁

[@3tonesthetruth962]

Fantastic. I haven't found any hammereds yet, but that isn't the because of the SImplex, but because I my permissions and area aren't populated enough. I will find one someday, but it will probably be on a dig in the central belt. :)

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Couldn't agree more about people being so frustrated they give up, Mr Dark. I am sooo jealous of your hammereds, they are really scarce up in the Highlands, and I will have to wait til Club digs resume to have a chance at getting one. You never know though, there just may be a hammy dropped at my posh house permission, fingers crossed! :D

[@howardgraham-y8m]

Brilliant video, this is the best I have seen it answers a lot of questions, just got a Simplex and you have put me on the right track, cheers big thanks

[@davecor]

This is so helpful, thanks so much for making this excellent video! My Simplex+ arrives today and I feel like a little kid on Christmas morning. I've been reading up as much as I can, but an actual hands-on demonstration is always much more effective for me.

[@alwoodsmodellingmayhem]

So took my Bessy (Simplex) out on a picnic area, with owners permission. It was horrible, there was so much noise. So, I decided to rewatch your instruction videos. I will now return to the area on Park 2 and lower the sensitivity. Thanks again.👍👍

[@KernowekTim]

Excellent. I wish you well Lori. This channel will help alot of people that tune into it. Stay safe.

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Cheers Tim, Happy Hunting. Let me know what sorts of things you find where you are. :D

[@lizwermcrantz7049]

This is the video I’ve been waiting for! I learned more in this 20 minute video than the hours and hours of other ones I’ve watched. Thank you!

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Wow, thank you so much for this Liz, you have made my day. You, and other new users are the reason I made this, and I am so very glad it is helpful. I spent so many hours watching videos from around the world, reading forums, and asking questions of everyone I met, to get the different bits of information I needed. And then add in the hours and hours I spent out in blizzards, wind, rain, ice cold, you name it, digging holes, to learn what the sounds meant, it took so much time. I wanted to give back to others, what I had learned, so people could enjoy this machine from the start. Please let me know how you get on, and what you are finding. Happy Hunting :D

Hey lori here daniel from Belgium. I liked your explanation. Make more videos please.... I myself have just bought the Nokta Makro Simplex+ and am very curious. I myself have been searching for years with a Fisher F75 and quite a bit found but was now looking for a somewhat easier detector without all those settings and came out after all the reviews on the Nokta Makro Simplex+, everyone is so praising about it. Thanks for your video again some learned thx

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Hi Daniel, thank you for your lovely comments. Welcome to the Simplex family, you've purchased a fantastic machine, but she does need time to learn. Swing lots, listen lots, dig lots. You will dig junk at first, but you will learn the machine the best way possible. :) Happy hunting!

[@jynx-vu2zc]

I am new to MD, did a lot of research and ended up getting the simplex, Your videos have been so helpful ! Thank you !

[@ravenbrk]

enjoyed the video. my first detector is on order - a simplex for me and a midi hoard for my son. can't wait to get started.

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Thanks ever so much for watching, I am glad it was helpful. I was so new to making videos when I did this, I probably need to remake it, lol. It has been a while, but the information is still valid. Knowledge is the important thing with your new Simplex, know that it is fine to tune it down if you need to. Any questions, give me a shout. It may take a few days to reply, but I will! Happy hunting when you get your new toy. :)

[@2sd178]

MY Simplex will be hear in about a week - I will be back here again when it arrives...good video!!

[@JesMuse74]

I needed this channel 3 years ago! Thank you for this. Always being tempted to "upgrade" to a new model or different maker but I've recently just really decided to remain with my Simplex+ and get better at using it. In the moment it is difficult to always remember everything. I am hopeful that your videos will help me remember things better. Thank you!!

[@louc.8779]

Thank you for this video. Santa brought me this Hot Rod for Christmas. So, I figured I get on KZbin university to learn how to metal detect (first time). Thus far your video has been best of the all others; you're good at teaching. As a matter of fact, yours is the only one I watched to the end. Will be looking for more. Thanks again! - Louis, Miami, FL.

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Hi Harris, congrats on your new Simplex. Best advice I can give you is to use your new toy- every chance you get. The Simplex pays off time invested. Swing lots, listen lots, dig lots. You will dig junk (and good things too) initially, but you'll soon start to hear differences and be on your way. Happy hunting!

[@dannywilliams3928]

Brilliant video absolutely enjoyed it. I have watched all the other simplex videos from around theworld and no one goes as in-depth as you do on the problems that you can have setting up and using the simplex metal detector. This machine is not simply a turn on and go machine. Must be tuned properly ground balanced and sensitivities must be set correctly again thank you very much for this video it will help a lot of people out.

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Thank you so much Danny. That is high praise indeed 😁 I'm filming a couple videos tomorrow, so stay tuned for more Simplex Hot Rod updates :)

[@Mirador99]

Thanks a LOT for your videos !.. Been out in the fields a few times and basically didn't understand _anything_ of what the simplex + was tellling me. Been digging up mostly ironnails and iron-trash in hope for some coins and other interesting stuff, and kids starting to loose patience :) Thankfully for your videos i now understand what i have done wrong, and will adopt your "training" for tomorrows trip :)

good to see ground balancing, I was just waiting for one beep after seeing it on another video. i'll certainly be doing it properly now. i was even told to leave it at 90 always! Thanks

[@anthonyboyle1627]

When you had the chatter from the pulsedive, just frequency shift the pulse dive. Here’s the instructions from the pulsedive manual how to change it. “FREQUENCY SHIFT It is used to prevent the device from interfering with other detectors nearby. To shift the frequency, press the on-off button while holding the (F) button pressed down. Each time you press the on-off button, a beep will be heard and/or the device will vibrate and the frequency will shift 1 step. There are 40 steps in frequency shift. The central frequency, which is the factory default, is indicated by double beeps / vibrations.”

I bought a Simplex last month, and I am very frustrated, not with the machine; so far, I could not be happier however, I live in central Florida, where we only have 2 seasons, summer and broil. Every day at this time of year, the heat index is at least 105 degrees, most days even worse. I have not yet lasted for more than 15 minutes before gallons of sweat pour from my body. Sadly, it will be at least another 4 months before I get a real chance to use it. Love your videos.

[@elaficionado8090]

hello, after seeing many videos of this detector, I bought it, and I could only try it for two hours, but in that short time, I liked it a lot, luckily I found your videos, you are fantastic explaining how we should put the simplex. I will follow your advice. I have already subscribed to your channel. greetings from Spain.

[@jameskearns8706]

Im very close to purchasing this detector, had a Garrett in the past but it was way to complex and manually configurable. This video was very very helpful, thanks

[@wodens-hitman1552]

Tbh I'd stay with the garrett. I've had one problem after another pairing up the wireless headphones

[@MudMaxMetalDetecting]

The signal at 8.40. Personally I would not change programs/modes, I would just dig it. If it has potential I always think it's best to dig it out rather than play with settings. Broken gold, chains, and tricky targets can do that on all detectors, and by the time you have switched settings you could have got it out and moved on? Why look for a reason to walk away when it's just as quick and easy to have it out? Just some food for thought based on my own experiences. ATB MMMD

[@eponymousmoonbeam]

Thank you! Excellent explanation, I'm definitely considering purchasing as my first detector.

[@davidbradley6681]

Thank you soooo much I'm still learning with mine I haven't updated mine yet but I think I will now. I can't wait for your beach video I've been on wet sand and after some research went down to 00.0 and got on fairly well I think

[@markholbrook3949]

I do love my pulse dive pinpointer set up with wireless headphones. But full disclosure I use in tandem with the Garrett Carrot because I tend to use pulse dive at the beach in a watery hole due to its pulse technology. But on land The Carrot gets deeper and I dont have to be as close to a target on my initial dig. So I tend to use the carrot more on land. But my kit now requires both pinpointers to make me happy!!!

[@thesimplexguru1263]

mark holbrook And do you use mute for the carrot? When I’m not using my headphones I frequently forget to mute, and the feedback drives me batty. I need to shift the pulse dive sensitivity, I’ve been told it will sort it. But- full disclosure, I can hardly remember what buttons do what. I turn it on, it works, I don’t spend time on it. I should!

[@joestagner7817]

I appreciate your videos thank you for your time

[@James.Bizzell]

The PulseDive has 40 levels of frequency offset, so it can be adjusted to not interfere with the Simplex+. There is no need to hut the mute button.

[@thesimplexguru1263]

You absolutely correct James, I agree completely. However, the Pulsedive is complicated, and if someone is only just learning the Simplex, that adds a step into their experience that is unnecessary- at first. And not all have a Pulsedive, or the headphones, so it is good to show them how to use mute, if they don't. :) I've confessed in my part 2 video that I do not use the PulseDive to the most of its ability, I simply haven't bothered, as it is complicated, and I would rather be out detecting than messing with frequencies. But I am going to read up on it, in preparation for another video, and will try to determine the frequency that the SImplex will tolerate. I did test out a few pinpointers (Nokta pointer and a Gpointer), and research frequencies, and the Pulsedive at factory setting is not on the Simple frequncy, yet she detects it. Will be interesting to see if I can find one that works with her- and how it affects the Pulsedive's performance (if at all). Thanks for your comment- it is a good point. :)

[@aquariusrising8644]

You're amazing♡

[@chrislarew9583]

Can you pair both the pulsedive and the simplex to the wireless headphones at the sametime?

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Absolutely, and you want to do that. That is how the pulsedive mutes the Simplex when you turn it on. It is brilliant, when you turn the pulsedive on, the sound comes into your headphones, and the Simplex goes silent. When you turn the pulsedive off, the Simplex comes back into your headphones. If you don't have the wireless headphones, you will still need to use the mute button. And don't let your headphones run out if charge, everything unpairs and must be linked again. Thanks for your question! Stay safe. :)

[@m3coupe4me]

Extremely helpful. Thank you.

[@harrywhitney8199]

Thank you Lori, I have just purchased this detector and this VID really will help me I am sure. But Nokta has just came out with another update which is 278... and I was wondering if you have updated to this setting and if so do you see any important difference in the operating? Should I just stay with 277 version till I get familiar with it? Thank you a lot of questions. LOL!

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Hi Harry, I'm sorry I missed your comment last week. Have you seen the videos I've done on 2.77 vs 2.78? I recommend 2.77, as you get all the information the machine can give, and if it is too much in certain situations, you can always turn it down. If you change to 2.78, you will lose the vdi that may be useful in quieter fields.

[@thesimplexguru1263]

I would advise staying with 2.77, swing lots, listen and look at the vdi lots, dig lots. You'll get trash at first, but you will learn the best way possible. Turn sensitivity down to 6 (or even 5) abd run it on park 1 or 2. Use the discrimination first. Its more important to a beginner than depth. Happy hunting!

Hi, great info thanks. I have the simplex wireless headphones and pulse dive, when I turn on the pointer when detecter is on it docent connect to headphones until I turn off the detecter? Any ideas please

[@3tonesthetruth962]

Hi Adam, this is Lori answering from my 3 Tones account. Your headphones not connecting unless your detector is off is quite odd. I think the pairing is off. It seems like the Simplex is overriding the Pulsedive. Which did you purchase first? If you had the Simplex first, then maybe the answer is to re-pair them both. I paired my Simplex first, as I had it first. I added the Pulsedive about a month after the Simplex. I would factory reset the Simplex, update and re- pair the headphones and pointer.. 1. Turn on by pressing the power button 2. Once the Simplex logo appears on screen, press and hold the settings button and pinpoint button simultaneously until 3 short beeps are heard. Then follow instructions to update the detector back to 2.77 or 2.78 (whichever you prefer). Pair the headphones, then the Pulsedive. Its a pain in the neck, but perhaps this reboot will sort out the problem. If it does, it will be worth the effort. Sorry you are having the trouble, hopefully it is just a software glitch and that will be the end of it.
