What I’ve learned from watching videos and actually swinging the machine is that in park mode you should swing faster. While in field mode a normal swing will suffice. The old low and slow doesn’t apply in park mode.

Very good comparison, I live in Georgia and have a lot of Iron mineralization. I ground balance at 86 with the Simplex. I pre-ordered my Simplex in the middle of August and go it at noon today. Did a little testing with it and will go hunting for coins tomorrow.

Very good, clear comparison. Your son is gonna love his new Simplex. Good luck!

Excellent review. You did a great job describing what prorgam, settings and targets you were testing. it allows the viewer to get a real good feel for the machines positives and negatives.

The detector heads on both these detectors are the same. Their made by Detector Electronics's corp. Southborough, MA. They have partnerships with these companies and many other. Their own line of detectors is the Depth Master professional grade. They do have a shown room store attached to their warehouse, and they ship internationally. The two founders have a pirate museum on Cape Cod. The musuem houses artifacts from the wreck of the pirate ship Whydah. Using special metal detectors that they developed. Which they used to locate the wreck and it's artifacts. They are available for sale on line, or from their warehouse location in Southborough, MA.

You can't beat the simplex price if you mostly do underwater.
I've ordered the Vanquish for my 11yr old, because we dont go underwater hunting and Multi IQ is a winner for me. Also you can pair up any wireless cheap headphones with them.

Considering getting one as a back up. Thanks for the vid.

Good video, it shows that there's more to detecting than depth!

Very good comparison considering you could almost buy three simplex to one equinox.
I would like to see a comparison with the simplex vs the vanquish and I think there is different models of the vanquish, not quite sure if equal money spent on the two vanquish could be on the same level in features and build quality, let alone performance.
I like the idea of back light adjustable screen and flashlight on the simplex along with being totally waterproof where I believe none of the vanquish models has those features.
Just my opinion but Nokta Makro is setting new standards of what other manufactures should be doing in the future as Standard.

Your opening music sounds like the Ramones...cool!

I just recently made a test garden for my Equinox

Thanks so much for doing the comparison video. One thing that you didn't mention or compare that would really interest me is the difference in weight and balance between the two. For me, the Nox with the 11" coil is bottom heavy and unbalanced.

[VOLKZZORN]

If test then please have the same values ​​and the same fashion Park, because Nox and was insane, because have simplex and must say he goes deeper and costs a third! The Simplex has already brought some top finds that were overflowed by the CTX and Nox!

[ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Excellent testing. I definitely want to build a test bed like yours. Thanks for sharing, GL, HH and take care.

I just went from the Garrett to the equinox 600 I love this detector

[Justn]

I traded my Equinox 800 of 2 years for a Simplex. I don't regret my decision.

[bens]

I didnt expect this machine to outperform the nox but it certainly holds its own. I think dollar for dollar it blows the Ace 250 300 400 series out of the water!!!

[Trentx]

I'm new to this... im trying to figure out which one I should get... what do you reccomend?

[billiejohoward]

Hey Iffy, great video 1st off.. I see how well it performs on land and with coins but do you know how well it performs on the beach or in the beach water and what about gold?? I am in the market for a new detector and was considering the Simplex but would like that information first because I live near the beach and metal detect almost every day so I want a good machine!!! 🙏😊💲💍
