Nokta Makro Simplex Depth: How Deep Does It Go? : Metal Detecting NYC

What are the capabilities of the Nokta Makro Simplex Metal Detector? How deep does it go? How well does it separate? How good is it compared to other detectors? How much value do you get?

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:

[@DetectingTheShore]

Tip: when using a pinpointer and you don’t want to hear interference on the simplex, press and release the pinpoint button on the simplex to mute it.

[@getjcal]

You may need to update your software

[@ryanhumble3249]

Yes. I was going to pass that along as well. Such a great feature.

[@johnurso5184]

I have about 150 hours on the simplex. It is a silver magnet !! I found a large silver pendant 11" down in the dirt and I've found quarters as deep as 14" in wet sand !! In my opinion the machine is too chatty in salt water, but it does work. I found a beautiful 1oz silver coin in salty water. And although u can find targets that don't follow a general pattern I have found GENERALLY that nickels are 23-25, dimes 78-81, pennies from 50-68 , quarters 90-91, silver 90-94 and gold anywhere from 18 all the way to 50 . Hope that helps new users. I love this channel and I've learned alot from it myself.

[@SEAWORM]

Love your taking time to show the simplex and use it. Thank you.

[@bleirdo_dude]

RIP White's 😪

[@southernrelics]

The Simplex is awesome. I love mine, especially with the new smaller elliptical coil.

[@350yardteeshotsmakesgolfez]

Southern Relics its only good af in dry soil. The Simplex Wont get deeper than 5” on a coin in the wet sand... while a PUlse Induction will get it at 12-14”...the nox on all metal mode and lowest recovery speed setting, then it will get the same depth with the Nox 15” coil in the wet sand (~12-14” on a nickel). Simplex gets deeper than tthe Nox in air tests though, just sucks on beach wet sand bcuz it cant get 7-8” coins in the wet sand

[@southernrelics]

Mysterious Noob Life I pulled a coin 8 inches down with the Simplex in wet SC beach sand back in January when I tested it for the first time. It could have been the way I had it set up and ground balanced. The Simplex is a much better detector than some like to admit. 🙂🙃🙂

[@PapuRanksLosAngeles]

Love the vid. Your humor is awesome 🤣

[@Mr.Technical77]

Tom Dankowski says that in his mild Florida soil the Simplex is deeper than the Impact, and is for all intents and purposes a flagship level platform. That’s quite a statement. I bought mine used with wireless headphones for $200 with the intent to resell it for say $275. After using it, I’m not parting with it. I like it.

[@DIGOLOGIST]

Broke back Beaver ! Love the video. I will buy the simplex now and do a deep woods and beach video !! You are the man!

Damn that spannish music is so full of energy!

[@austinbradley3411]

[@davidl2438]

Thanks for your critique of the Simplex. I will be getting into the hobby soon. I need to decide which detector to purchase as a newbie

[@DetectingTheShore]

David L it really just comes down to budget. The simplex in my opinion is the best bang for the buck. If you can afford the Nox800, that’s the detector to get. I have the simplex, but find myself wanting to buy the Nox800.

[@davidl2438]

@@DetectingTheShore Thank you for the response. I appreciate your kindness.

[@deeptacos1991]

Glad you're digging the machine, Merrill! My Simplex is coming tomorrow. Been on the AT Max for a year and find it very easy, just want another angle, try some of the old places with the new machine;)

[@normawinton6832]

CTX 3030 IS THE BEST FROM WHAT I'VE HEARD

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I want one so bad!!!!!

[@KernowekTim]

It'd want to be for that sorta $ man! . Personally I love the Tarsacci 8000; expensive yes, but a lovely light weight MD, with massive qualities that speak for themselves. Awesome un-masker. Check out YT Relics 1864 before you decide, Mr Southern has some interesting tests with the Tarsacci that made me veer away from the cumbersome, over complicated,for me that is, 3030., for my particular types of searching..

[@nickhaas2407]

You are right, the Simplex+ is the best value right now, and it is not even close (entry level up to lower/mid-range).

[@briansparks8528]

Exactly the same as my Makro Racer 2 complete with light vibration tracking ect deadly with a 5" DD coil in extreme trashy areas.

[@GarnetCarmichael]

New subscriber, Simplex owner. Drawn because of that. Simplex users untie! I meant "unite" dern dyslexia! Ya ya,, very entertaining video, glad I subbed. The Simplex is not the answer to every ones prayers , but for the buck and who knows what upgrades are coming down the pipe, who knows. But it does go deep.. Thanks for the video! Garnet.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks Digging D Find!

Glad you did this video Merrill , I bought a “simplex “ recently and haven’t christened it yet ! The tool you found looks like an old bicycle wrench ?

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

Had a chance to handle a simplex. Have they stiffened the shaft? The shaft on this particular one flexed crazy. Didnt like that to much. Airplane videos? LOL! So do I.

[@ryanhumble3249]

I absolutely agree. I'm 6"2" and I have to stretch it too it's max which makes the shaft seem very unstable. Other than that, I'm "digging" it.😁

Got too give ya kudo's on also metal detector ampadextris also lol always good,My wife is a teacher here in new Hampshire and that's her passion but with covid going back teaching for her is a struggle.But ya kept is intrigued and are minds off the eppy so ty

[@tinx1463]

Still the NOX for me

[@jamespayne6068]

Some folks really like the Simplex with the 24 coil.

[@ronaldgc1]

Park 1 is deeper or field but recovery speed is slower

[@adventureswithjeff6937]

With the simplex I'm staring at the depth and numbers alot, I'm also using field mode. Never know if I'm digging a silver coin or a rusty cap. The simplex and the Nox in multi are very similar in depth in my test bed.

[@timbenham516]

Simplex is not multi

[@jamespayne6068]

And, you know, I just have a hi school education, but with that, I can figure out if you get a smaller box, it would be easier to fill with silber.

[@getoutsidenow420]

Fill up the box, like that!

[@350yardteeshotsmakesgolfez]

And i had the Simplex for 2 weeks and the speaker broke , cheaply made, so had to get my money back and i got a garrett sea hunter, thank god, and u can pin point within 2incches by getting the target on the edge of the coil...now i get twice as deep as any LOw freq. machines, besides the Nox with the 15” with the right settings... no other non PI detectors gets over 7” on targets in the wet sand PERIOD

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I’m on it!!!! Want me one of those!!!!

[@jamespayne6068]

My simplex will give false readings if I hit the standard coil on the ground. Don't seem to do it with the SP24

[@danluther1741]

Dude, I LUV ur vids! I don't beach hunt or use any of the machines that u do but you're just damn entertaining! You REALLY need to improve your diet though!!!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks Michael! 😊

[@jamespayne6068]

Still trying to get someone to do a really good review on the SP24 coil for the Simplex.

[@jacksonwilhelm2420]

Hello I just got a simplex. I’m a little worried mine isn’t working 100% right. It seems like when I do a depth (air) test for things like Pennie’s it only goes about 4 inches before I get a very distorted beep that I would never dig. Is that bad? It seems like it should work better than that

[@IndianaTones]

[@fjdubya5726]

[@richied484]

OMG - 'Soviet Onion' - LOL. So much can be done with that - starting with the Flag = Hammer and Onion Rings.

[@Arkevamusic]

I have an Equinox 800 with all 3 coils . I’m looking for a detector that goes way deeper ! Any recommendations would be appreciated:)

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Turn down the iron bias on the equinox and the recovery speed to 2. Do a manual ground balance. Put on auto tracking. SWING SLOWLY.! You got the best right now in my opinion:

[@slowtaknow]

What are you running, 2.78?

[@leskobrandon538]

I've had both the simplex and Equinox 800, I sold the simplex.. I found the equinox actually went deeper @14" with still producing a VDI number.. The simplex doesn't produce a VDI number over 10" deep.. And I didn't like the flapping lower shaft...

[@veldaallcorn5177]

Beaver DAMN! You are hilarious!

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

Wait when the soil is wet, Then you will get more depth, Take your Nox to the same site & see if the deep signals are coming through in that dry soil? It will make a good video. Gold range for the simplex is 40 & up. I sold about 10 Simpex's & everyone loves it as its fast & locks on targets between the iron & it doesn't make those stupid minelab sounds. I have the nox 600 & ctx-3030 & sold my Etrac, Sad i sold it great detector. I also have many more detectors LOL

[@leskobrandon538]

I had a Simplex, what drove me crazy was the tones or the lack of it didn't make.. it's a mono tone machine, i hunt by sound and verify by VDI...

[@vossierebel]

Hi Merrill, really great video! Thanks for this honest i-rate!! I'd love a Minelab - 800 if possible. I don't get the Vanquish - not waterproof? So, are you saying this is the first detector for me?? Or, must one first be good like you before this machine will deliver results?? I'm gonna base my choice on your reply, thanks!! 👍👍👍 One more thing... I don't wear headphone easily - never the ear things with phones - so, is this detector good without headphones?? I'll add - I have acute hearing - I pick up higher pitched sounds way before others around me do so...

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

AJ you can’t go wrong with either. There is no question that the Equinox is the better detector, but IF you are unsure how much you will use it, you can’t go wrong with a Simplex. The value is ridiculously good! Think about this. In time BOTH of those detectors will be free with all of the stuff that you will dig up and you will never have to pay for batteries.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I’m not a big fan of headphones. I could hear this one fine.

[@vossierebel]
