Nokta Makro Simplex, Legend, Minelab Equinox 600, 800 compared. Field test 4 Detectors.

So a Simplex, Legend and two Equinoxes walk into a bar.... Haha, no, go to a field instead.
Are you missing things if you use a Simplex? A Legend? A 'Nox?
A reasonably scientific test explores the performance of 4 machines to see how each interprets a selection of signals in a field.
I will say that I am not an expert on the Legend, or the Equinox, and you may find that you interpret the signals differently to me. Gavin says that he would never dig signal 4, from what the Equinox 800 was telling him. My point is that the simultaneous multifrequency machines didn't even see it from one direction, so there is no interpretation to be made!
I welcome experienced detectorists comments on signal 4 performance of all machines. Why did they act the way they did? Thank you!

Love these kind of comparison test. Always good to see the simplex do well. Good that people who carnt or don’t won’t to spend to much on a detector can get out and find deep and old items just like the more expensive detectors. Great vid Lori

Hi, noticed you havent posted in 7 months. Just wanna say these videos have seriously helped me with getting into the hobby. Thanks!

[@ablettgone]

A great video Lori, and interesting results indeed. I’ve a Simplex and am learning the tones and ids so well now 7 months nearly, I never ever notch out iron as I want to hear it. I feel like I’m the only one in my group with a single frequency but I’ve had some fantastic coins and have done well since I started. I’m still new and learning and love your videos and channel you’ve been so much help and it’s much appreciated. Brilliant channel great videos and great work 👍🏻👍🏻

That was great , enjoyed that , using the Legend myself this past couple of weeks , loving it , used Syds settings for now 😁 New sub here ATVB Colin

Hi Lori, I sure like your KZbin videos but have not seen any new ones.… The information you provide is great last year. I purchased my Simplex last fall and now that it is getting warmer I am planning to hit the fields and sand. Keep it going, Bob

[@GarnetCarmichael]

Interesting for sure, I am amazed at how well the Simplex did and a little bit disappointed with the Legend however, knowing the machine well is key. Maybe with time you'll have to do another comparison. Thanks for the video, thanks for your honesty! Garnet

[@tonyanam5thriver]

Great video. I own the Nox 600. My teenage son uses the Simplex , we are interested in getting a Legend some time in the future

[@aimlessphotographer]

Good video Lori. I use the 600 & it should give you a “ clipped “ signal on iron. It is no good finding the tiny spot it hits it at in one direction. Basically if you get a signal, work it in a circle, if it’s a rubbish signal it will clip it & you either get that clip ( is sounds like a spitting sound ) or it won’t hit it at all. Any good signal you will get hits from any direction working in the circle. Good video & I appreciate your time spent making it. 😘

[@thesimplexguru1263]

Absolutely, could not agree more. My husband uses the 800 and when he saw the video, the first thing he said was that he wouldn’t dig any of the 3 signals, only the good one (the zipper pull). I hold up my hands and admit that I do not know the machines well, other than the simplex. And in the field I am a lot more picky about digging holes, finding the horses in the field scuppered my plans and limited options for signals! 😆 But, I’m so glad for your advice for 600 users. The more we can teach others, the better we can all enjoy our hobby! And your advice will help me too, when I actually use that machine. Thank you!

[@steelydan42]

Nice video. I have other machines but really like my Simplex 👍👍

[@ianross04]

Hi Lori, you may (or not) remember me but we chatted some months ago about the Simplex. At long last, I've just bought one and will be using your excellent vids as my 'go to' for reference. Any basic tips would be truly most welcome!

[@giuseppecatalano7801]

Good video. 👍🏻

Important video Lori as I’m simplex but want upgrade. But be hard money wise thank you x

[@elaficionado8090]

hello, I'm new, how many hours do I have to put the simpelx to charge, every time the battery runs out? and are there external bars for the simpex? Thanks in advance.

[@PeopleWatchingUK]

Hi lori please could you help me out I really need a link/file for the simplex 2.77 as I can't find it anywhere online, any help would be appreciated thanks in advance

[@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

[@morrispate1936]

Hope all is well. Miss seeing your vids.

[@LocozillaYT]

I have been Metal Detecting since 2005, but unfortunately due to health, I haven't been able to detect for about 4-5 years now. My last Detectors were all high end but I sold them (my Whites V3i was my favorite with my XP Deus being a very close 2nd, especially with it being so light and my health being bad). That being said, this Spring and Summer I am going to get back into the hobby and was wondering if ill be happy with a Simplex+ (these came out AFTER I stopped Detecting, so never used one), or should I just bite the bullet and buy a Equinox 600? I definitely don't think I'll need a 800, at least not right now. I definitely like the 2 waterproof options tho

[@brianpoland3452]

Simplex or Vanquish 340 looking for an opinion on which one to purchase.

[@jynx-vu2zc]

Love your videos.! My new simplex came installed with 2.78 ,everyone says 2.77 is better, but I can't find it ? can you help me

[@Aaron50001]

I installed 2.78 and didn`t like it , it seemed a lot more erratic and scratchy. I went back to 2.77 and its fine again but Nokta Makro have taken 2.77 off the website.

Not at the moment, they don’t make one for it yet. The largest is a 15” by Nel.

I liked the simplex plus I had for a few months. I sold it because the sounds are annoying to me. If they changed the tones that machine would be great imo

[@beepdigsplosh]

Nice little test I have simplex and legend & I find the legend is working better for me on 15khz

[@jonathanmiller8977]

What’s your opinion on the simplex vs legend? My girlfriend wants a detector, so thinking about getting the legend. Are there noticeable differences in the two?

[@beepdigsplosh]

@@jonathanmiller8977 simplex would suit a beginner it's more or less turn on and go the legend needs fine tuning to get the most out of it

[@jonathanmiller8977]

@@beepdigsplosh I’m pretty good with the simplex, but I was thinking about the legend for myself. I could go with another synplex, but is the legend worth a few dollars more?

very interesting to see the simplex screaming out 04 iron no ifs no buts it said its iron and thats what it was while the rest humd and hawd saying its iron but it could be something else but in the end got fooled by the circle of metal ...

Your Coil is on backwards. You are so Funny

[@thesimplexguru1263]

I think it must be the video being a flipped image? Only the Simplex has more than one coil to be taken on and off, and I’ve checked the video- it is on correctly. Maybe you saw the bit of film I had to flip because of perspective. I promise it was on the right way around the whole time . How are you doing these days, Tim? :)
