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.

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 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 feel there needs to be a 2nd referendum, clearly this isn't the result a lot of people were hoping for...

After your input on this I sure will be getting me one of these , thanks for sharing. Al

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.

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

The simplex is gonna be a game changer.! It's an awesome machine.! 👍

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.

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

Brilliant vid loved reading the comments they have made me laugh (off you pop) 😂😂😂 Keep up the good work looking forward to your next vid 👍🏻

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 !

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 👍👍👍

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.

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..😅

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

Great vid Sid ate keep them comin congrats on that Saxon find 👍👍👍 look forward to your next vid

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 👍

Quedé sorprendido,. Wow, veo que mi Simplex no está tan mal. Gracias por hacer el vídeo.

WOW Dale! More amazing finds M8! Love the Crotel bell esp'. Cheers, John.

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.

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

My buddy bought the Simplex+ as his first detector, and I must admit: I'm pretty impressed with that machine!

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!

Great test, would love to see a test of the Simplex up against an older bad boy the Fisher F75 in boost mode.

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

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.

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!

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 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.

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 ..

तिनो डिटेक्टर मशीन में से डेफ्त किस मशीन की deft ज्यादा हं सर जी, Trezer hunting for How much deft of detectors , Simplex ya Deus ya Equinox

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.

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

Surprising. Thanks for sharing! 👍🏻

Newbie here ( oldie)ooking for a machine between 3-900 notes. IME now sold on the simplex. See you on news at ten. Lol. Thanks for the review!!

Excellent honest test thanks Sid

I need help to choose machine simplex or do deus??

Does it find small gold nuggets or wire gold in Iron rich soil?

Simplex power 🇹🇷🇹🇷

Thanks for the video! Love my Nokta Makro Simplex for sure!

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! 👍🏻

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.

Since water is a natural conductor of electricity, doesn't it amplify the electromagnetic signal coming from the coil?

got to love these Nokta-Makro introductory detectors

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

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.

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. 😂😂😂

Nice vid sid you won’t please everyone but for 299 you’ve just got to say wow

Thank you good sir for a actual honest review you sir have character and I subscribed for that very reason.

These guys do great reviews, thank you

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.

Hi thanks for the upload. Do you know how the simplex behaves when other detectors are close by like on rally days.

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

Can you pin point with the Simplex?

I put my order in for one when it gets to the States

I am just after buying a new Simplex love it. ✌️ Peace from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪.

Hello from Malaysia...i love this video...

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.

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".

Great video sid I use deus but the facts are there going to to get one as a backup.

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

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...

Great testing Sid 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good vid sid, simplex kicking ass yet again

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.

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

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.

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.

Gud vid m8 fair test the underdog wins for me lol

Makes me even more excited for my simplex to arrive!

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

Are you any nearer doing a side by side Nox 900 v Manticore Sid?

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 😔

6 dislikes, don't suppose these are the NOX brigade :))))))

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.

Who is the best 1?

Got my Simplex today, great test lads but most of the signals you got with the Simplex were signals you would never dig anyway, knock the iron grunt off and go over the targets again, they will disappear, the Simplex makes similar sounds everywhere, spent a couple of hours on my test bed today, The Simplex is very good for £295.00 ,but that’s what it is a £295.00 detector, do you think Nokta would bring a detector out that was better than all their more expensive models for a fraction of the price, they would put themselves out of business! and where would they go next? The Equinox and Deus are far superior detectors , has you would expect, the Deus on the test just does what it always does on deep targets and gives you a high reading, meaning the discrim is dire under 8” and you could be digging anything, the Equinox would have easily have most of the targets if used on Field 2 or Park 2, the Simplex when run over my iron tests was not great, it got about 6 out of 10 the Deus and Equinox gets all of the targets , the Simplex when pushed just gives false signals everywhere, you can’t tell one from another but I suppose that would come with practice, it’s difficult on a test bed you know what the targets are and where they are, most of the signals in the test you would never dig. So before you all go out and buy a new Simplex then remember this is just a very good £295.00 detector similar to a Garrett 400i / Fisher F44 e.t.c , I don’t think Nokta ever claimed it was going to be anything else, excellent value for money. I was going to go out with it this Sunday, I nearly got caught out in all the hype, but I won’t bother. Happy Hunting

Thank you.

Great unbiased video Sid, interesting results. I wonder how the Alter 71 would do?

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.

That simplex is looking really good..👍

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!!!

Very nice depth but let's put some trash in the hole and see witch one will separate the best ??

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!

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 👍

Greetings from the coal region of Pennsylvania, great video brother, you bring Clive with on any of these videos?

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

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

Can i mention your link in my videos for simplex .

Simplex or Vanquish?? Cant decide for 2 months.. i think need wait 2 more..

Not biased towards Makro noise boxes then?

I never saw you ground balance the Simplex?

hi sid ...great video ...does the simplex have MULTY FREQUENCY ??????? OR SINGLE ...???

I have a couple of nagging questions. If the Simplex is selling for around $300.00 then the cost of manufacturing must be $100.00 - $150.00? So, where are they skimping to keep the price so low? Is it in the build or the electronics? They have to be cutting corners in the manufacturing process somewhere, in my opinion. Also, can the company survive selling metal detectors for $300.00 each? I have my doubts on that one. Seems like a bad business plan to me to bring out a detector that will compete with your higher end detectors at less than half the price.

You concluded it well at the end of the video sid, no doubt the simplex is an amazing machine for its price range, just on this one test alone. Keep up the good work mate. 👍🏻

The guys on the equinox 2nd programs take a little deeper. Try it on Field 2!
