Love it! I've now started showering mine after detecting, with a car wash and wax solution (a tip I got from The Discriminator). Works really well, and you know what? I can finally put the Simplex up and down, without the shaft getting stuck. Who knew it just wanted a bit of Simonize?? :)

michel faber I am so glad to hear that the videos are helping. I filmed two new ones today, one on which version of the software to use (live tomorrow at 8 pm uk time) and a practical video on how to reduce chatter and pick the correct mode and sensitivity for your circumstances (live in 2 days). Hope they are helpful, if you have a specific question for me to film and answer to, just shout and I will do my best. In the meantime keep digging those signals, one day it will just click, and you suddenly find you know not to dig certain sounds. Your bag will come home so much lighter!

I am so keen to get to a beach, and the Simplex really does need tuned for that type of detecting. I am keen to know how she will behave after the increased depth update, and how much adjustment will be needed. I will head there as soon as I am allowed. Thank you for watching! :)

@@thesimplexguru1263 hi , I haven't really been out with mine yet would you say stay with 2.68 and get used to machine or update it to new 2.77 ch3rs john

@@johnjohn633 What pinpointer do you have? And do you have the wireless headphones? Unless you have a Pulsedive AND the Simplex wireless headphones, I would advise going to 2.77, to get the mute button function. If you stay on 2.68, the interference will be really bad and do your head in. The 2.77 won't make your machine more unstable, just more sensitive. Dial your sensitivity back, to 5 or 6 bars depending on how many signals are in your ground. It's def best to do the update, because the features it brings are worth it, and the extra sensitivity can be reduced until you need it. :D Happy Hunting!

Thank you Tim, I really appreciate the feedback. I remember well the sinking feeling of digging up yet another bit of plough part, or nail, or horseshoe, or aluminium can. I looked in vain for videos that had the numbers showing and the tones audible, so I could hear and see what others were experiencing. Some did show the numbers (Southern Searcher, South Coast detecting) but not always, not with tones, and they were only on beaches. Rob Rizzo (The History DIgger) has been very helpful for numbers charts, but he is in WIsconsin and his coins/finds are very different to the UK. I wanted someone like Aquachigger doing videos saying "Listen for this" "Thats iron", "This is what I use on this field type "this is how i tell this" etc. but it wasn't out there for the SImplex (that I found). Lots of finds videos, that show what she can detect, but no videos showing the process of how to find these things. Possibly because those videos take time, and are labour intensive to make. That's why I made this- though i am def no Aquachigger!

@@thesimplexguru1263 Few people are, but you I'm sure you are admired by many detectorist for your knowledge and skill with the Simplex. No one else that I can find on you tube is as helpful as you are.

Thank you so much. I do my best to help. Sorry I missed your post, youtube is odd about telling me I have no unread posts, and I have about 10 that I find when I go looking! My voice is annoying to me when I edit the videos, but people keep telling me its soothing 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️

@@thesimplexguru1263 No problem! Keep up the good work. Cheers from Poland :-)

Thank you. :) What sort of things are you finding where you are? :D

The Simplex Guru the 3 weeks I’ve had the simplex I have found 5 Lizzie sixpence , 1 Lizzie threepence, to Charles 1st shilling and mix of George 5th Victoria William silvers and the normal pennies half pennies form George 3rd onwards and some interesting artifacts. All on pasture, I’m in greater manchester

Thank you Michael. Sorry I didn't see your comment, youtube is very odd in giving me unread message information. I'll think I've read and answered them all, then I come across old ones buried. Makes me feel bad that I'm ignoring people, even if I don't mean to! Let me know how beach goes, coke is a tricky one. Nox 800 discriminates it out totally but simplex doesn't, in my experience. :(

So glad the videos are useful :)

And your English is super. Much, much better than my Spanish!

Thank-you for your lovely comments. Welcome to the Simplex family, if there is anything I can help with, please let me know! Happy hunting to you too 😃

I'm pretty sure it only syncs with Nokta headphones.

I was out every day that I could, for a long as I could. I'd say within a couple months I was fairly competent, but I also dug every signal. I could have probably put together an entire plough rig by the end of the first few weeks, I found that many agricultural parts! Stick with it, dig everything, and within a few weeks you will be much more tuned in to the info that the Simplex is giving you. Happy hunting!

Hopefully your son will get some use from the videos, since he has inherited yours. Thank you so much for being the inspiration for this series, even if I am sorry the Simplex drove you nuts on the beach! :D

The Simplex Guru I’m glad my lack of simplex knowledge inspired you 🤣🤣🤣 it seems a great machine, just I didn’t gell with it lol

HI WIlliam, I would go with 2.77, not the 2.78. My reasons are: 1.You need the 2.77 for the added depth (even if you aren't using it now) 2. You need 2.77 for the mute button feature (vital even if you have the headphones and the pulsedive, because the day will come that your headphones get left at home by accident- or they run out of charge. You will be so glad of the mute function!) 3. You need 2.77 for the new coils that are coming. You might not want to buy one right now, but when the detecting bug bites, and it will, you will eventually want the added flexibility that alternate coils bring. 4. I wouldn't choose 2.78 BECAUSE- you lose information that cannot be accessed without hooking up to a pc again. This is info you could have at the touch of a button as your landscape or skills level changes, if you are on 2.77 and tune the machine. If you are on 2.78, you can't get to it. You can always roll back to 2.77 BUT- if you set up your machine like I have shown in the video, you don't lose anything and it is always available, just quietly waiting for you to ask for it. I will do a video regarding this, because I am sure you are not the only one asking this question- thank you for the idea! :D

Are all of the faint little signals not real signals?

That is a great idea, i will make that one next, thank you. Look out for it in the coming week. Cheers! :)

Hi Ronnie, the A.S.S. mode was another youtuber's name for ASSorted modes. It isn't a setting itself, it is about using ALL the modes to get the best idea about a signal before you dig it. Checking a target using all the different settings, to get the most information you can about an iffy signal, can help you decide if it is worth it. That's using "A.S.S." orted modes. I'm sorry I didn't explain it on the video, I should remember that people may not have seen previous ones and might not know the terms. Thanks for your question and for watching 😃
