Nokta makro simplex dont believe the hype!!

Quick review of the nokta makro simplex.

[jimfitzgibbon]

I thank you for your honesty . I, m thinking about this machine. I, m not ready for a high $ unit
& maybe never will. But I think this one for now will be what I, m looking for. Thanks I subscribed for being up front with your honesty

I've seen a few videos where they're being used on saltwater beaches and it looks like they do great...
Hitting a small gold ring at 12" isn't bad..
Granted a pulse induction detector would be better.
But a $250 machine thats waterproof and can do land, saltwater beaches, AND gets really good depth like what I've seen, that is amazing!
The only improvements I would recommend is improving the vid and maybe a custom mode that allows you to notch out certain areas and choose which tones you want to use..
And maybe adjust the volume so deeper targets don't go quite as faint.
It's definitely worth the money and makes you question whether it's worth that extra $500+ to buy the higher-end detector when this one can get the job done in most cases..

You kept this review under ten minutes, which is already a huge thumbs up.

I hunted with this machine last night and was really impressed. It was really easy and intuitive to use. There isn’t a better value out there. It’s not gonna outperform a Deaus or Equinox 800, but it’s not far behind and 1/3-1/4 the price. If your looking for a good first machine this will serve you well for a long time. The green headphones were a little small on my jug head, but not too small or uncomfortable. I found a small button and Confederate bullet

I was surprised that your review was so positive, where the title suggests that it does not meet your expectations. Anyway, I bought one recently and on the first hunt already found some WOII ammunition and a 80yo local coin.

I am a total newbie at metal detecting and purchased mine based on price and features ( half of a comparable machine). I have 2 hours of use and am happy with the experience. My attention span is short so I didn’t want to break the bank for a hobby that my not last.

I own a Simplex and have tested it over the past three weeks and I would say this is a fair and accurate review of the machine. It's not going to compete with machines like the Nox & Deus in every situation but it does hold it's own very well. When you consider the cost, it's performance is actually quite impressive. If your looking for an inexpensive waterproof machine that has good depth and build quality then the Simplex is a very capable machine and is worth considering.

Can never beat an honest review, i’m buying tomorrow. Thank you!

No hype needed. All one has to do is walk around with one of these for a bit and you'll see just how great it is, especially for the price. LOVE my Simplex. My simplex got put to an alternate use yesterday. My kids are putting a pool in, right now they're clearing the spot where it will sit, getting ready for a layer of sand to go down. 2 years ago they did a bunch of siding and a little roof work to their place, so I took my simplex out yesterday and walked the area where the pool is going to go, and it's a good thing I did, we found a huge construction staple and several siding/roofing screws. Would not have been good for their pool liner to sit on those, for sure. When we were done clearing the pool area, my son in law and I walked the rest of the yard near the house and got several more siding/roofing screws. Didn't find anything of monetary value, but keeping their lawn mower from picking up screws under their grass and throwing them in the direction of family members is of more than monetary value. I learned a cool trick with mine a little while back, too. I put it in park mode and turn the sensitivity down as low as it would go and walked around the bleachers at the city park's baseball diamond. Found about a dollar in change in less than 10 minutes, all on top of the ground, just down under the grass. No digging required to get them, so no permission needed from city hall to do.

First I don’t understand your title don’t believe the hype. It did everything you had it do very well. As far as the vdi numbers go I do not have that problem with them not showing up so I wonder if its a issue with a update because I don’t believe I have done the updates yet. The biggest problem I have is people saying it should not be compared to a expensive machine. The fact is it will preform as well as a expensive machine and I know people hate this because it is a lot cheaper but face the facts it does do just as well. I own one I am not a rep nor am I trying to sell them I am just tired of it not getting the recognition it deserves.

I'm as Confused as many viewers, I was expecting you to Bash the Makro, but you did just the Opposite!!! Nice job!!! For most of us Novice relic hunters, this is More machine than we will need.

The simplex is flying here in the UK. I love the machine. And here’s abit of advice to those who are struggling with understanding the 3 tone or 2 tone field modes. Run it in beach mode inland. This is a single tone that is also very deep run the ground balance at 90 and it will be winner. I know it sounds crazy but Trust me this works.

[jayhopkins]

I liked your review. I bought one of these and sold it to a friend. You definitely get more than what you pay for imo. But it doesn't out perform my $900 detector and it shouldn't even though some other videos showed it doing just that. What they left out was that on the deeper targets there was no VDIs and the audio got very weak. Thank you for showing that.

[JamesPound]

Thanks for the honest review. Nice to see no hype but good feedback on what to expect. This will be my upgrade model if I have fun with a Tracker IV

[pocketjokers]

Simplex is hands down the best detector for the money hands down ! Built very sturdy ! Waterproof ! Can be updated ! Has external light ! Backlight screen, great customer service ! And very good at finding targets ! Can't really ask for anything more at the price point ! Nokta has hit a homerun with the Simplex !

[stevew]

The best review I've ever seen on machine cheers Buddy!

[thylacine]

don't you just appreciate an honest review. Thank you.

I have a CTX-3030, Equinox 800, Whites V3i, and couldn’t resist trying the Simplex. Having had it now for a bit, I really think every Arsenal Hunter that goes anywhere near water should have this machine. I can’t get over the price for as deep and quick as it is with iron volume etc. It’s very well built with sculpted shaft. Lower shaft has some flex, but I can live with it. I’m not afraid to take this in the water and love the light and vibrate for underwater and night hunts.

[aroundthecoast]

This machine is very light and it does indeed have great build quality but don’t be fooled by the price this machine is a deep machine and no I didn’t get 1 for free, I don’t work for Nokta Makro and if you only dig targets that give a VDI I bet you would miss quite a bit on any machine. Overall a great little machine with great power for the price. Field mode is the deeper of the 4.

[WeShootBack]

Been using mine since it came out and it's now Feb of 2023 still using mine !, I'd suggest you buy the carbon fiber lower shaft and it balances the machine out and doesn't flex makes the whole thing perfect. With the 15 inch Detech super coil the simplex outperformed my minelab equinox 800, only thing that I still don't like is the tones are a bit loud
