Hi, my name is Merrill Kazanjian. New York City is an amazing place to go metal detecting. We have lots of parks, colonial history and great beaches for beach detecting. I have gone to all five boroughs of New York City To Metal Detect and beyond. I also currently own 16 metal detectors. I want to have the best and I want to help you choose the best as well. Below I will showcase some of the playlists on this channel:

Buy from a dealer not Amazon.

[@melparker7711]

I was a Garrett dealer for many years and started getting concerned about what they were offering to the public, I didn't want them to go down the path of Whites and Tesoro so I called them and explained my concerns. They had just come out with the Apex and I said to them why didn't you make it water proof, the competition is blowing you away in price and features. They told me "The company is exactly where we want to be" that's the kind of logic that will get you in trouble. They need to pay more attention to the competition.

[@rockscousteau]

The Notka Simplex is SUPERIOR to any Garrett product. This is what they are doing. Some of the big channels on youtube (Using the Garrett Detectors).....Are fake channels. They by views....likes....subscribers. I honestly think Garrett does it for them. (I am sure you know who I am talking about)......you will see a guy using a Garrett Detector get 80 k views in 4 days on a video...and you look at the comments and they have less than 300. It took me a while to figure it out.....only because I also have a channel. What Garrett is doing is buying fake views for channels.....some of the big ones on here...so they can market and sell their detectors. I doubt these guys making these videos even use a Garrett detector when they are not making videos. I have an Apex.....and the Simplex just blows it away.

[@paulrinehart4262]

[@steveschmoe7290]

I was using my Simplex underwater and couldn't hear the sound. Then I remembered the vibration feature. Excellent!

[@WeDigIt]

Great review, I agree, I’ve used it for about 7 months and I don’t regret using it at all. I think it gets a rep as a newbie machine by those who paid for a more expensive older machine. It’s more than a newbie machine. My favorite part is the accuracy of the pinpoint. Have a great week, and merry Christmas!

[@Nittytash]

My simplex pinpointing is 10 times better than my nox by far

This is a very fine video indeed, in my opinion. Straight, and based on facts, with no 'brand bias' bigotry whatsoever. Refreshing, and interesting. Great stuff man.

[@lakewyliecleandive3994]

Vibration is best used for the hearing impaired. Also, I notice you didn’t mention the mute button. Once you have a target and whip out your pin pointer, you can mute the simplex(to avoid chatter).

[@tomelner]

You can also change the frequency to reduce the chatter

[@ufopirate1746]

[@thomassavage7451]

Thanks for the expert advice. It made my choice a lot easier. I’m just starting out and not sure if I will take to it or not so I’m going with the Simplex. If I really get into metal detecting I can always step up to the next level.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I think you made a great choice. It’s the only hobby that completely pays for itself!

[@JW-fb5us]

Great help to me! I got a Simplex in the mail yesterday.Im having second thoughts but I've used a Whites Silver Eagle for 30+years! The thing for me is I'm not use to all the chatter. With my Whites I can walk 50 yards and not hear a sound in Beach mode,on a fresh water lake. I almost fall asleep until I hear a gold/pull tab signal. Tell me to keep trying! John

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Definitely keep trying. It’s a great machine especially on land. If you are on a beach there are better options.

[@ufopirate1746]

Im using park 1.. Slight harmonic 90 PLUS numbers ALMOST 2ft and finding Coppers and SILVER... Separation is so AWESOME

[@ufopirate1746]

Sensitivity all the way up

[@kennymceliece8799]

I bought a simplex an i hvnt used my at pro since i love the simplex

[@gjyoung67]

Well done, im in 30 years of detecting, mostly beaches, the simplex is a monster bang for the buck detector. I have a D II and a ‘nox 800 but want to add a simplex to the corral as the cheap travel detector.

[@nonegeo]

Wish I would have watched this before I bought the Simplex+ I only live 5 miles from the gulf in SW Florida. Now I have to save my pennies for a Equinox.

[@markdoehrman4447]

Another quality detector is quest x10 which I've been swinging for a couple months now,. I have the 9"by 13" magic coil on it. You can run this around higher EMI areas with high gain,,this machine gets super depth,can smack a quarter at 10" really well,dime and copper at 9" well,,and even deeper if you learn to decipher it well. This machine is 199.00 and has pretty much same features as simplex. But I went for this one cause it DOES run very stable over 90% of the time,,it runs on 8 khz but goes deep on coins. The only thing that I have not figured out yet is real world target separation which I have not paid much attention to yet,,but in old coins it's already paid for itself. I mainly search for deep coins in residential older home areas where emi is usually troublesome. I think the x10 is a sleeper.

[@ufopirate1746]

I just RECENTLY figured out the high harmonic tones... IMO this is THAT game changer .... ALMOST 2ft y'all

[@tomelner]

Can you explain more please?

[@ufopirate1746]

@@tomelner when I recently figured it out it's like this... When you find a deep SILVER or Cooper it'll have almost if not all depth bars maxed out... It's the highest of tones and it sounds imo like a violin high pitch and it's REALLY neat actually... And your numbers will be mid 80s and up.... These signals aren't easy to find so be patient. I've noticed you'll dig lots of false positives my max sensitivity and really tiny targets can also do this. I swear this machine impresses me more I learn about it. 2ft coppers is insane! My last Copper was almost arm deep. Crazy. My oldest to date as well.

[@cruikshank]

I’m new to detecting. I bought a used ACE 400 at a very good price but kept hearing about the simplex. I saw one for sale used like new in the box for $150. I was lucky to get there before everyone else who wanted it. I’m excited to really use it. Unfortunately our ground here in Berks County, PA is very frozen right now. If we get a thaw I’ll be out swinging it. Thanks for this information. I just listened to your segment on either Beyond Sight & Sound or Relics Radio. Great podcast. Maybe I’ll run into you next time your in Berks County Farmland. Your daughter is very cute addition to your video.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Dave!

[@proshotsdk]

Nokta is doing good. First i think they use Nokta detecters in Turkey because its Turkish brand. But the guys says its the best. I saw them use that one with monitor, so they see items before digging, but too expensive.

[@southernrelics]

If you get a chance, you should purchase the SP24 coil and use it on the beach in wet sand. The Simplex acts like a whole different machine and is much more stable in salt water environments. I enjoyed watching.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Noted!!!

[@rshots1530]

That SP 24 coil makes it a whole different machine. Much less chatter, more stable, and doesn't mind salt water. I agree!

[@snarky_user]

Having ruminated on this video over the last five hours, I have some additional thoughts. The price is affordable enough that the machine is almost disposable. A person could buy if for finding that item they dropped in the yard, or for a one-off weekend. I would hope those machines then get distributed into the hands of potential new hobbyists. It is inexpensive enough that one could purchase one of these for a ute and provide a positive impression of the hobby rather than the disappointing experience of the toy models. Your review of the machine is perhaps enough for me to go down into my mother's basement, find the circa 1975 Treasure Hawk (which is the last metal detector I used in about 1980), throw it into a dumpster, buy this machine, and actually use it instead of only watching metal detecting porn.

THERE’s IRON!!! That was a good joke that dug up a laugh. Good work sir

@@cruikshank I would have to say it has been pretty good I can pick up more items with the simplex then I did with the ace 400

[@scottt2325]

there must have been a conversation when they developed the simplex+..."it has to be as good as, or better than, the atpro"...I waited to buy a water machine until after the apex was released, hoping it would be a water machine....I still wish that garrett said, "our new detector needs to be better than the simplex"...you also didn't talk ergonomics...the simplex is hands down more comfortable to swing...the best thing I've done that helped me to become a good detectorist was buying the best headphones I could and listen and stop watching those vid numbers...small clean edged singals...dig it....for the most, part vid numbers tell you what not to dig, not what to dig....especially on deep targets

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Great Explanation on The 4 detectors.. As I own the Simplex, 540 and the 600 I would say the Simplex as well for a beginner and more advanced detectorist. Learn and Use your detector to the fullest and it will surprise you.. Over all if I only could buy one detector to start with I would go with the 540.. Salt water beach hunting is what I like..

[@ilpatriotplugs8682]

Ive used the simplex for a year and love it. Found some stupid deep targets and I believe the separation is phenomenal. Used an MX Sport before and have not picked it up since.

[@ilpatriotplugs8682]

On deeper targets or mixed signals, Simplex responds better with quick, tight sweeps.

[@daveromano3099]

I agree BUT!..The simplex will actually get you deeper with better vdi if once you hit a target you sweep over it at a medium speed, yes it will respond with quicker swings but if you want to hit a target deeper with better vdi then trust me, a slower steady level swing side to side over the target once you get a signal.

[@josecanedo007]

Have the AtPro and Sea hunter mk2. Thanks to this video, I know want to add both Simplex and Equinox 800!!!

Wish I had found this before I purchased a Nokta Simplex. I saw a lot of "reviews" that really down played the beach capabilities and living near a beach I now wish I had made a different choice.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Think about it this way. 1.) If you use your simplex, you are going to dig up a lot coins. 2.) Metal detectors usually have high resale value. Combine those two and I bet that you will more than break even.

[@1LWiLNY]

the reason why garrett says that they are right where they need to be is because they are making more than enough money on their sub-par products and don't have to spend time and energy making new and better products that can compete with the simplex, equinox, etc.

Thanks for the great video. Very detailed and informative. Has helped in choices of metal detectors for myself and my son, though I am now going to have to outlay more initially (which as you detail I will make back) as we will be working at the beach(salt) and some times under water (salt) Sure I'm getting a "Legend" for myself then, either a Equinox 600 or 800, for my son. Trouble is though; if I was to get a 600, I might as well get an 800 and if I was to get an 800 I might as well get a second "Legend" AAaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!! So many choices. Your videos and information are a great help and so appreaciate you and all You Tubers for your work. What did we do before You Tube!!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Truly appreciate that Barry! I own both the 600 and 800. There is very little difference to be honest. There is an extra frequency on the 800, Bluetooth headphones and you could configure recovery speed, iron bias and such on a scale from 1-8 rather than 1-3 on the 600. I own both and in terms of detecting capability, there is very little difference. If you buy through Kellyco use my code NYC at checkout and you will get 10% off.

[@vossierebel]

Blame Merrill... I now have a Simplex - my first detector, since mid August because of Merrill's channel and Simplex reviews! I am learning all the time but basically, I am out often (now winter here) and even down at the beach, I have had success. The key is LISTENING to your machine - and not setting the sensitivity too high for starters. Flick between the modes to establish if the signal is repeatable... Most of all, I blame Merrill for countless hours of FUN!! And yes, someday I also want to own an 800. I have had loads of fun making videos... and in my way also sharing my learnings! One BIG learning - the interaction between the Simplex and the Nokta Pointer... took me a while to realise just how they interfere with each other - ie, yes, you mute the Simplex but I physically have to place my detector at least three meters away when using the pin-pointer! It could be only my setup because I see others use their pin-pointers right next to their detectors... but hey, maybe there are others out there who have wondered if their pin-pointers are bust? Sorry for the longwinded comment - in Merrill's defence... he only markets FUN! Thanks!😁😁😁

[@keithharowski7341]

Hey Merrill what I don't see anyone touch on is.... What are the defining operations/settings for entry level like a simplex to intermmediate level to advanced level like the gpz 7000? I've seen soo many vids like this I can pick out discrepancies...like this vid...the ace was on zero mode...it's most sensitive/ deepest setting....the Plex you had on park 1 but later in the vid you say field is the plex's deepest mode, why wasn't the plex set there for the test then if the ace was on its deepest mode for a total un-biased test? Most review vids I've seen leave me with more questions than actual good clear decise thoughts by the posters. Might not be intentional, but I've seen things like this and more in many reviews posted.

The CTX is more like 8 years old. Id go with another Equinox for a backup, or a Vanquish 540 propack if you dont need waterproof, the 540 is like a simplified Equinox, and the propack gets you a 12" and 8" coil.

Ah, the Land Ranger Pro was the Simplex before the Simplex was the Simplex. If they would waterproof the Land Ranger Pro and add iron volume it would be superior to the Simplex.

Crazy, im getting back into hunting after a few years away. Traded a guy for a Garrett AT pro the other day. Been hunting my yard with it and having fun. Although it kind of feels like early 2000's tech, ergonomic wise and what not. Dont get me wrong, I LOVE the Garrett Bell Tone, found my first merc with a GTX550. So I was looking into what people are using nowdays with newer tech. I ran across the Simplex, and then ran across this video. LOL. I dont know if its worth it now tbh. I may as well swing the AT Pro. The audio on the Simplex sounds really tinny and plasticy. No?

Hello Merril, I would like your suggestion about what metal detector to buy. I want an all-purpose metal detector for mineralized soil and beach. I am looking for coins and jewelry (gold and silver) mostly. I want very good separation, very fast recovery speed and adjustable threshold if possible. Also, I have low budget, until 400 euros.

No beach yet here y'all .. all in town hunts here

[@micha4923]

thank you

[@jacksonwilhelm2420]

Would you suggest I get the Garrett ace 400, AT pro, or the nokta that you are talking about

[@mrsweeves7035]

I bought one, for using on the beach🤬🤬🤬Never mind it looks good. And Lexus engines are actually made by Yamaha not Toyota. Very informative, thanks

How do I fix the sound on the Simplex + metal detector.

I'm New to Simplex,,, around 4:26 you where testing a quarter 8 " deep . simplex was bouncing between 46-70-76--84- 92, ? I don't understand how I'm suppose to tell if it's trash or not by the numbers, when they're all over like that. ?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

That happens when the coin is on the side. But the thing is, YOU CAN NEVER TELL BY NUMBERS IF IT IS TRASH! The best way is by sound and even that isn’t perfect.

[@ufopirate1746]

My ONLY COMPLAINT about the SIMPLEX is the chatter I get when im using the pin pointer..... That's it

[@jeffnelson9420]

Update to 2.78 it has a mute button...its awesome.

[@tomelner]

Try changing the frequency

[@Bootyhunter1971]

Get a Nokta Makro Pulsedive pinpointer (you can get just the pinpointer for around $90) and it will connect to the wirless headphones. It is AWESOME, when you turn the pp on the audio automatically switches to the pp and you hear it in your headphones. Then when you switch the pp off the audio goes back to the detector. It is EXCELLENT!!

[@harrysurtees8710]

Merrill, I see you have the XP Deus. I had one, and I thought it was made for European targets and didn't work well for me here in California?

[@LyudmilaRGVK]

WOOPS! You should have installed Gary's HOT program.

[@chuckracine8418]

Vibrate will help a blind man if a blind man was metal detecting and it started to vibrate he know how to dig the hole so that’s why Symplex says vibrate on her so a blind man could metal detect

[@8_x_9.]

There are some limitations for a blind person.Go with an other person.More fun & extras.

[@scrapiron6870]

I own only 2 detectors merril, the old whites dfx, and the notka makro simplex, merril, I keep things for a long time, I would however like to get the minelab 600 and stop. My friend give me your New York opinion, u c I live west Pennsylvania bordering Ohio. Merril no gold really 600 very good minus the 800 options

[@hoopztube]

Sorry, but if you want a good detector, one that finds the targets and has the best signal processing, buy a multi freq machine. Single freq machines are then horse and cart of the detecting world. Don't buy a horse and cart when you can buy a car.

[@petervandenbosch6353]

Not agree. I own a Equinox 800 and 2 XP Deus. The Equinox is a great machine with the multi frequency but the XP Deus is in my opinion as good as the Equinox (maybe not on the wet sand at the beach but i live inland). I use both and there is nothing the XP Deus will not find that the Equinox will find to. If i have to keep only 1 1 detector, i will keep the XP Deus and sell the Equinox. I have on both detectors more then 1000 hours so i know my gear.

[@hoopztube]

@@petervandenbosch6353 And this is why its not better, sin gle use in wet sand is a waste of time. Deus is a great machine and its a single use multi freq machine. I suppose you change freq on the deus anyway depending on your hunts. Technically, the Deus is a multi freq machine.

[@nicolebaker295]

How would you rate the nokta anfibio?I am getting back into detecting and looking for a good detector. Back in the day I had a minelab sovereign

[@scrapiron6870]

Merril would it be worth upgrade to the minelab 600 over simplex thanks

Can you send me that chart your reading off for simplex or post the link, you help alot

Would you explain the area on the simplex coil, for pin pointing? I’ve moved coins under the coil, while pushing the pin pointer button, and there’s not a specific spot! I don’t get it? Thanks Ted

I OWN 16 DETECTORS" CAN YOU SAY "OCD"? EITHER THAT OR SEND ME A GOOD ONE!

[@daveromano3099]

The nox 800 is not what it’s made out to be sorry, definitely not worth the $800 or so dollars, has leakage issues and not as well constructed as the simplex, learn how to use the simplex correctly and it will amaze you, ground balance, 360 degree trick, etc..The simplex will out perform in most cases..The simplex has been proven to detect deeper than the nox on most soils, maybe with no vdi at the deepest but hit the target when the nox did not..I own 6 high quality detectors including fishers, tesoro super lobotraq and a 17 frequency minelab, with the recovery speed and depth of the simplex it put my $800 minelab to shame..If you’re strictly hunting in saltwater get the nox but be careful, plenty of units have been sent back because of leakage issues.

[@dusty1498]

360 trick??

[@daveromano3099]

@@dusty1498 circle the target 360 while swinging the coil over it the whole way around, if you get anything other than iron vdi at anytime then dig it, even if jumpy..That good target could be right in iron and if you dont swing 360 you can miss it because you’re not giving your detector a chance to read it in with iron, nails and such.
