Metal Detecting is a good way of chilling out, its a good bit of therapy, fresh air, long walks. Its also a bit like those unboxing videos you see on youtube because even though you have an idea of what's buried below your feel you're never really sure. I love watching people such as Aquachigger, NuggetNoggin, Dr Tones, Addictedtobleeps, Si Finds, DALLMYD and Digger Dawn. I've been Detecting with Deep Digger Dan during his digging the coast 365, that was fun. I used his XP Deus... Very light. I started out using the Garrett Ace 250 and then added a Nel Tornado coil. After that I started using a Nokta Makro Kruzer and some how managed to find so much more on land I thought had been detected to death. Silver coins, WWII badges and bullets and down the beach I've even found GOLD and Silver Rings. In my latest video I've finally found a Roman Coin and A Saxon Strap End. Subscribe to continue watching and see where this adventure leads me next.

Looking for my first machine. Am beginning to like the Nokta Simplex, mainly as I plan to do most of my detecting on various beaches on the south coast and in Cornwall. I also like the fact that it's fully waterproof and it's great value for money. My little lad also wants a machine now.

Good video. Appreciate the extra work you had to do for your viewers to test these units, instead of just going out and hunting and having fun. Interesting to know that a multi frequency detector has chatter on the beach and that how far a single frequency tech has come that it is not too chatty on the beach. Wonder if the Nox would chatter too,,, I guess if it is the same "core" tech as the Vanquish. Interesting, Thank you

I have a Nox 800, and a simplex. I bought the simplex to use at our caravan in Leysdown the Isle of Sheppey. The simplex is a nightmare there. It is so sparky. I have turned down the ground balance to zero. But I still have to turn the senseativity down to 3 maybe four bars only.. And thats on the dryish sand. I would love to try the vanquish there to see what the differance is, with the multi tones.

Apart from the water proofing, i brought the nokta makro because on first sight the vanquish looks like a 90's kids video console 😅 (sorry) I do like the tone sounds of the vanquish.

Bit late on this one but Simplex for me just for the fact it’s waterproof and for the price just a better machine. I love my Nox 800 but don’t like the look of the red Garrett lookalike Vanquish. To be honest I think another reason is that the Simplex is just a joy to use, don’t ask me why but there’s just something about a simple turn on and go less fussy machine that just puts a smile on your face when using it. Great unbiased fair review. Hard to believe on your roundup that the Simplex is the cheaper machine.

Just watched the video again, and you mention that both machines are chatty on the beach. So if that is the case I bet the vanquish will be just as bad on Leysdown beach as the Simplex. So will give the Simplex a bit longer and see how I get on with it after another month. I must admit I do like it, because it is waterproof, and I have rechargable batterys. I have fitted a bluetooth sender to it, so I use earbuds which are so much better that a wired headset. I don't think I could ever go back to a wired headset again. All the best Arron and keep up the videos. Nubsey aka Nigel

These were the two machines I was deciding on when buying my first detector. So I bought the simplex and then the coil shorted out on my third session out. So I bought the Vanquish 540 to hold me over until the coil came in. After using both of the machines quite a bit since then I have to tell you the Simplex is the better machine for me and I sold my Vanquish. The tones on the Simplex are so much sharper stronger and give you much more information on the target than the generic sounding Vanquish tones in my opinion. It also does better in the Trashy Parks we have here with iron then the Vanquish does, and on the beach be waterproof makes it a no-brainer. The Simplex is frankly a coin finding machine. Just my two cents...

A lot of people are misrepresenting the price difference. With ease, you can get a 540 Pro Pack for $400 USD shipped. Checking about 10 dealers the cheapest quote I got on the Simplex with Wireless Headphones was $320 shipped. $80 difference gets you the useful 8" coil and Multi-IQ, and a machine that works the iron and trash a lot better than the SImplex. The only deep Simplex mode does terrible in the trash as far as recovery speed, Park mode loses a ton of depth. The Vanquish outshines it in most any dirt.

I wouldn't go as far as saying "The only thing sets the simplex apart from the vanquish is just waterproof" the firmware is upgradable the minelab is not. You do such a fine job on the comparison videos, detailed information, on site demonstrations, just brilliant, what no one seems to mention though is "While your detecting with the Vanquish, how do we know people are not thinking you tore out a stop sign and swinging it? J/K" Like you I got them both and just can't wait to get out, I tried the simplex a couple of times and the real only beef I had or mini gripe is I wish the lower shaft was just a bit longer say four inches, I mean its plenty long now but extended out full it becomes a bit wobbly and having more of the shaft in makes it more stationary. If you have a chance to hunt an area that has terrible emi that you have hunted before and had problems with other machines, try the simplex, that machine did so good in places I had major problems with higher end models, that really surprised me. Thanks for the show and advice, well taken.

Yes if you take the battery cover off,there’s a USB port at the top of the battery compartment

Very fair and balanced video Arron. Always going to be difficult with these two particular machines as there are some pretty entrenched fans in both camps. I like them both and own both. As you know though I do prefer the Vanquish ;) You can't go wrong with either though. Simplex has a superb spec for the money and for a single frequency machine does well on the beach. I will be sticking with Minelab though.

But you flipped the Vanquish into a deeper program out of beach to help the Vanquish on the deeper targets. What would the Simplex do had it been flipped to a deeper program

Is it time to realize minelab is awesome,but far over priced😓

Only thing that's holding me back from getting a Simplex is the jumping numbers and maybe a bit too chirpy, as an ex T2 user, I never had any of these issues but want a change of machine, don't get me wrong it looks awesome for the money but can it really cut the mustard in the ploughed and pasture like the tried and tested T2?

Never seen this machine tested against the T2?

Will take it to a field soon and try it against the vanquish, I agree on the chirpiness of it. At first I didn’t like it but after a couple of hunts it doesn’t bother you, plus you know when it locks on to a target. The tones is the only thing I’m not keen on with this machine. The rest I can’t fault 👍

I have the Vanquish 440 and the Simplex+ both are quit capable of detecting deep target. I don't have a preference.
