Nokta Makro Simplex+ DOES IT WORK IN SEAWATER? Metal Detecting Underwater
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 ก.พ. 2020
- All targets found at the same day, same area in saltwater. We are snorkeling while detecting.
Settings on SIMPLEX:
- Parkmode
- G/B 0.00
- Iron volume 1 bar
- Not discrimination, the first and 2 last ones.
- Frequency shift F3
- Sensitivity 4/6
- Volume full. No headphones
The white tape you see attached to the detector is because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty.

hi, could you work underwater only on vibration without headsets?
@@rolandas77 Thats a good question. I have never tryed. Maybe I should give a go. Not used to vibrations. Need to hear the tones. Its alot of imformation in the tones.
@@Alex_Anders yes, but you have to dig low or high tones anyway :) because you do not know what is under - scarp or gold... But if you discriminate lowest tone - iron and let only higher tones to vibrate...?
@@rolandas77 Yes, you never know whats under the detector despite tone and feeling. So maybe it would work. I guess it depends on how you are used to work with the detector yourself. I use parkmode and stabilty on the sound to guide my self. Sometimes you have to chose between many targets, in a small area, if you dont want to dig the hole day. Many targets change id on way down while you dig. But im sure it could work only using vibrato but if think you would have to dig up alot of trash.
How about audio? I can't hear clearly mine underwater. I don't use headphones.
Very cool. I‘m always excited, what you will find next😃
Thanks buddie! Glad for your suport to our channel. We appreciate it👍🏻😊😁
The best vedio i have seen for long time!! Well done
That is to kind☺️ Thank you very much for the support! Glad you liked it😄 Your welcome to stay🤝
I would love to see more of this detector used for diving like this!
Im waiting for my headphones. Then I will make more vids. Thanks for the support mate🤗🤘
Też mam taki detektor.i nie mogę się doczekać łata.Zycze pięknego znaleziska pod wodą 👍
Jestem bardzo zadowolony z mojego simplexa i życzę powodzenia! Mam nadzieję, że znajdziesz coś fajnego
And here we have the 3 finger claw men from Norway in his natural environment. This a rare sight to behold!
Great video, I plan to do this in the summer myself.
Haha! Priceless. What we dont do for our hobby. Yeah, what can I say. Cant wait for six months. Nope, not a option🤓Its 3° in the water. Cant wait for summer to come. Do it. Its fun. Put it out there🤘
This video is so relaxing...Good job! Nice to watch. Thx! Subscribed!
p.s. I'm here because today i bought a Simplex xD
Thanks for the support😊 Congratz with your new simplex👍🏻👍🏻
Very Nice hunt My friend, thanks for the sub, i just bought a simplex the other day i dont really do underwater detecting but might try it out at some point, much live from denmark 👍
Your welcome! Thanks for the suport🙏😊 I hope I get the chance to see you using it underwater on your channel👍🏻
What beautiful videos in the water, you use good tools, the simplex helps a lot in conjunction with the Garrett AT PRO pointer. Congratulations on your channel, greetings from Colombia.
Thank you very much😁 Didn't see your comment until now! Simplex has worked great. At least I find a lot without too much disturbance. Thanks for supporting the channel. Nice to hear. Greetings from Norway😊👍
My first seeing a really good video of the simplex under water, I'm planning on getting under water in the spring so this was good for me 👍😎👍🍻
Thanks buddie! That was nice👍🏻 Yeah, out in the water, thats cool. Are you gonna share? Would like to see if you find anything😊
@@Alex_Anders definitely will share,
In the desert here it got a little hot in the summer so I'm definitely looking forward to getting in the water. After Christmas I'm going to get the simplex, it looks like a great machine 👍😎👍🍻
@@reedsartofadventure Looking forward to see that👍🏻👍🏻 Allways fun to watch others simplex underwater detectingvids😊
What a great video. Lots of coins and seeing that little flat fish was awesome
Thank you very much🙏 Yeah, isen't that little fellow cute. Its called "flyndre" in norwegian. That day the temprature, underwater, was near freezing point and I only got to detect 1/3 of the place because I was so cold. But still coin after coin said hello. So difficult to stop. It was a cold but nice day😊👍🏻
I've recently bought a Simplex and to see you use it fully submerged is really eye opening! Shows just how great a machine it is! Great video mate 👌🏻 I've subbed can't wait for your next vid!
Thanks for subscribing! Glad you like vid. I was actually very nervous the first time. Because! I was really hoping the Simplex would work underwater. Its one of the main reason I got one. Turns out the simplex works great underwater. At least for the price it comes with. And with the headphones (grey ghost, not the simplex underwater ones) eventually. This package will work just perfect😊 Thanks again for the nice coment. More vids will come🤘
@@Alex_Anders haha I bet you were nervous! I would have been too! I wish you good luck for your next time out! Can't wait to see how you do Fridykk 👍🏻
@@scottcraig7293 Tnx! We have just bought 2x nemo by blu3 to use underwater. Its gonna be great😊 great having you here to support👊
I’ve been scared to fully submerge my Simplex+, but after this video...I feel comfortable. What are the white attachments underneath the screen that are on your cords? Mine doesn’t look like that. Did you add those to make it more “sealed off” from water?
The white tape you see is there because the water is so cold, 2°, and I was afraid the iron would shrink. Not nessesary. Have fun underwater with your simplex🤗🤘
Nice, relaxing video!
Thanks🤗 Glad you enjoy it👌
Nice music, cute baby fish and good video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much🙏🙏 Yes, a little turbot! Very cute😊
Hey Fridykk, great video and amazing crystal clear water! Your machine makes some funny noises 😄 I can't wait to see some more videos from you. Keep them coming!
Thank you very much Nora! Maybe it was the "pinpointer sound" that got you, hehe😆 Not the most quiet one in the classrom this machine, nope😋 But aslong it can give us some gold and silver we are happy👊 Thanks for support. See you out there🤗🤗
MERCI de cette essaie , super le turbo
Content que tu aies apprécié la vidéo. Merci pour votre avis:)
Nice video friend simplex looking good, greetings from FL.
Thank you very much my friend🙏🙏
new to the channel, glad to see it does well in the salt water. I live on the panhandle of florida and hope to use it here. Take care and stay well
Thanks for the support. Appreciate it🙏 I have used it many times underwater now. I experience that there is more chattering on grounds with many different mix of small/bigger/coloured tiny rocks (minerals) vers clean sand beach ground. Someplaces like on this video its very quiet. But I am very happy with the Simplex underwater. Stay tuned. New video coming in 2 days😁👌 Stay safe😷 Good luck and happy hunting mate👍🏻
Hi, greetings from Mombasa Kenya. I am new in this hobby,but learning pretty first,my concern is that whenever i use my simplex in the salt indian ocean water it just goes crazy with all sort of noises.what mode should i use.i use beach mode.
Thanksmate.
Settings on SIMPLEX:
- Parkmode
- G/B 0.00
- Iron volume 1 bar

- Volume full. No headphones
My experience: With salt water: Only clean sand = Little disturbance.
In places with a lot of pebbles and a mixture of artificial minerals and all sorts of strange things create disturbance
A great movie. I also have simplex soft 2.76. Greetings from Poland.
Thanks for nice words😊🙏 how is it rules around the use of metal detector in polan? In norway you need permission wherever you go. Even i water.
Un saludo desde México, excelente video así lo quería. Ver dentro del agua al simples funcionando,un like Jun suscriptor mas
Gracias. Me alegro de que hayas disfrutado del video. Simplex me ha dado mucha alegría. Gracias por subscribed. ¿Has publicado videos?
No e publicado vídeos, amigo me gusta detectar mi detector favorito es un teknectis 2 y ahora tengo también el simplex espero muy pronto llevarlo a la playa de Acapulco a calmarlo gracias amigo por contestar que tengas una lluvia de bendiciones
Great video top finds enjoyed watching
Thanks for your support to our channel😊👌
Holy crap I just received this detector as a bday gift and noticed and I was having the same concerns about the thread on the plug in not going up all the way up and saw that you taped it lol. Thought about doing the same
yes, there was almost no information about simplex in salt water the first time I took it under. In addition, in 2 degree water. So was reasonably nervous the first few times. Brand new machine in freezing water. But it went well😊
Красавчик, хорошее видео!
I use the Multi Kruzer mainly. I have struggled in the salt water. Perhaps I have to experiment more with the settings
Yes, maybe that will do it. I have no experience witv that detector but what I know is that detecting in water is very fun😊 The ground your on has alot to do with the way your detector works. Sand is easy. Rocks and small hot rocks makes it difficult sometimes impossible for me to work
Great video my friend and Nice finds thanks for sharing this time 💥💥👍
Thank you very much🙏😊 Detecting underwater is very fun👍
@@Alex_Anders yes I have to simplex Good machine 💙💙👍🙏 khaled pesca coins is my facebook welcome my friend 👍
@@khaledpescacoins3206 Nice👌 Thats cool😊
great vid mate , cant wait to get mine underwater :)
Thank you very much🤗 Yeah, looking forward to see your vids with simplex underwater on your channel. I hope you make some! Put on the bell👍🏻🤞😊
Water looks cold... great video thanks for sharing.
2-3°❄ Thank you very much🙏😊
How can you tell if it looks cold
Hi. Thank you for your video
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for the suport🙏
Bom dia !
Queria saber para que vc coloca fita nós cabos ?
Queria saber também qual configuração vc usa para mergulho ?
Boa noite. Desculpa a resposta tardia. a fita é para proteção contra a água salgada e como a água é tão fria, tenho medo de que o ferro encolha e a água entre. Uso baixa sensibilidade e versão 2.68 no filme. Eu prefiro o modo de estacionamento. 0,00 GB. Tente equilibrar se houver muitos minerais e 0,00 não funcionar de maneira ideal. Boa sorte meu amigo
1st vid ive seen on the simplex beong used in the sea
Be Safe
Works like a charm. Had it underwater, salt water, for 10-15 times now(washed with springwater after everytime) and no problems so far. First time was a little bit scatzhy i'll admit☺️ Thanks for the support mate👍🏻👍🏻
Hola amigo muy bonitos tus videos, me acabo de comprar el simplex+ para meterlo al agua tengo q cubrir los conectores o algo? Y despues de usarlo en el agua q es recomendable para q seque o salga el agua de dentro espero y me ayudes saludos de cd juarez chihuahua
Hola. Gracias por eso. Me alegro de que te gusten las películas. Utilizo simplex en agua salada y protejo los tapones de la sal. Por eso están grabados. Lavo el detector en agua dulce después de usarlo en agua salada cada vez. Pero solo enjuague ligero. Tenga cuidado con la condensación en la computadora al lavar. ¡No use agua caliente en un detector de frío y viceversa!
Subscribed! Cool video
Thanks mate! Appreciate it👌
Hello i have a simplex and i wanted to look underwater at beach. But dedector was mixed and i made sensivity minimum. İ tryied set for soil automatical and by manuel. Unfortunately unsuccesfull. İt see all metal in sand thousands signals .if you want to look by vibration . Dedector never stop. Every seconds trembling. Please which set ups you made can you say?
First of all and this is my experience. Some places is not possible to detect because of high minerealization. Hot rocks etc. Try to find places with hard sand mixed with rocks. Like in my vids. Where the wave hits on beaches is hard to detect also. Second: some say that first version, 2.68, worked a little better underwater than vers 2.78 and 2.77. More chattering? Not sure why🤔
If you use vers 2.77 or 2.78 dont use park 1. It goes to deep. Use park 2 witch is the orginale parkmode.
I use parkmode 2. Low sensitivity 4/6. Frequency 3. Gb 0.00. Detecting on mostly sand mixed with small rocks. This is with version 2.68. Now I have 2.78 but havent had in water yet. But should not have anything to say
I can't wait until it gets warm again!
Germany? frost on the ground?
Exelent!!!! Wow!!
😁😁👌
Great vid! Got my Simplex this summer. Will try it submerged in two weeks during a holiday in brasil. What song you use in the intro of your video?
Thanks! Thats great to hear. Congratz with the the simplex. Do you need any type of permission searthing with detector in Brazil? I am trying to find this song for you. Went thru my new and old music archives but couldn`t find the it. I dont think I have it on my computer anymore. I will spend some more time later this day and look it up for you.
Music: The 126ers - Innocence. From TH-cam library:)
I tried on rock/gravel beach, cant even work because of chattering. On sand beach is ok. Have any ideas how to remove chattering on rock/gravel beach?
It is the same thing for me here aswell. Those areas is just to much. But turning down sensitivity to 4/6. Try changing frequency. I use parkmode alot. And gb 0.00. Sandground with many small/bigger rocks spread around looks like the best places to be🤔
Hola. Buenas varias vcs e tratado de descifrar tu configuración. Podrías ayudarme con eso para playas agua salada?
Gracias. Estoy usando la versión 2.68. Tiene gb de 0,00. Baja sensibilidad. Me mantiene alejado de lugares con demasiadas rocas para evitar "rocas calientes". En los lugares donde golpean las olas, puede ser difícil trabajar. He usado el traductor de Google, así que espero que lo entiendas:)
Parabéns pelo vidio amigo
Obrigado🤗🙏
Love that machine and love your video. Good seeing the nokta perform well. Love to swap subs with U. Take care pj
Nice word man! Thanks😊 Love this machine. Works great for me. Yeah, of course👌
Subbed you brother
Simplex has an affordable price, I barely bought it right now. Next saturday I will test it. I live in the west coast, going to the pacific ocean in Baja California at the beach.
Nice. Are you gonna take it underwater aswell? What do you usually find?
@@Alex_Anders I wish going under water, not a good swimmer. Actually, I'm barely starting this hobby. Thanks for your video, keep up the hunting.
@@BobliberTJ Its fun on land anyway. I have a lot of ours on land with this machine and have found coins, rings, old stuff😊 Yeah, be careful in the sea. Especially when alone. But if you only gonna be out snorkeling, when the sea is calm, like I do in this video with a wetsuit you are gonna be pretty safe. But not if you cant swim😳 Let me know how your first day was! Hope you will enoy this lovely machine as much as im doing👌 Thanks for the support mate!
тоже вчера его купил, буду нырять!Спасибо за видео!
Поздравляю! Я очень доволен своим. Удачи!
The point is that something great works in water and on land but the only problem is 3 meters. great, I'm glad you are beautiful video great
Max 3m. But yeah, it works great over/under so im happy with it. If I want a "full underwater detector" maybe not the simplex. Then I need a detector that can handle minerals. Minelab Excalibur II🤩
@@Alex_Anders Minelab Excalibur does not solve your troubles, the room just does not distinguish it, but if you are together, we can ask for a deeper message.
@ maybe you are rigth. I dont know other detectores then simplex. Never used any others underwater. Do you know a good underwater detector against minerals?
what a great Channel thankyou over from Johnny,s
Thanks man. That was nice to say😊 Glad to have you on our channel👍
@@Alex_Anders YOUhave a great channel my mate
How do the ports not get water in them? I think my yard is full of junk bc I get signals all over the place from this detector finding 1 thing. I love it though it’s so nice for $250
The plugs are sealed and waterproof. Thats why many experience problems with nois from the coil etc when plugs are not properly fitted. Push in, 2 turns, push in, 2 turns and they are good to go. Chech out this part in the simplex group on facebook. Mayby thats on of the problems for you🤔 Some places are just full of junk. And you can have interferens from high-voltage cables around you. This the Simplex hates.
Buen video
Thank you very much+for subscribing👌
Hello Fridykk
The water is so clear. Nice video, camera is always well oriented !
I do not understand about the sound. Your headphone is not plugged, so do you have a headphone ? Do you have the vibrant handle ?
Why do we heard the noise of the target, under water ? ... ?!? if no cable is attached to the Simplex ? How is it possible ?
Thank you very much. That was some nice words🤗 Its like having the Simplex on land without headphones. But only underwater. The sounds come from the speaker built in the machine. Nothing attach to the simplex at all. I use gopro black hero7. Takes sounds very well I guess. The sound its self from simplex, in full volume, is very loud. Yeah, wintertime of year and the water was very clear this day👍🏻
@@Alex_Anders Thanks for this fast answer. Yes, but you, how do you 'heard' the target ? With the vibrate handle ?
@@goldinlake8347 Oh, aslong my ears are under water I can hear whats going on. But its not the best way. Headphones coming soon:)
I have been looking at getting the cheaper Nokta 1st Swing. Just wondering if it was worth it.
Have no experience with it. But for my use it is a bit unfortunate that it cannot go down further than 3 feet. 10 feet is perfect. What do you think for your use?
Hi just wondered why the tape is on your detector and pinpointer ? Thanks, good videos 😁
Protect it against the saltwater. Its not necessary in freshwater. But the pinpointer have a little "nob" under the tape right on the on/off buttom. This makes it easy for me to turn it on/off with the 5mm and 7mm gloves on😊
Whats is your configuration? My simplex dont work undersea :(
Mais um escrito!!
What is the white wrap on wires I've got this machine 👍
The white tape you see attached to the detector is because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty😊
Nice video and finds 👌
What pinpointer are you using?
Thanks Christian😊 Garret pro-pointer AT. Works great both over/underwater. Very happy with that pinpointer👍
What do you have wrapped around the connectors at the control box? Some sort of tape? Why?
Its because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak if the metalplugs should shrink. Just for the safty🙏
@@Alex_Anders Thanks
Just got the simplex + as a Christmas present with the wireless headphones. Is it a good detector? I'm just getting into detecting.
Good vid, subscribed.
Congratz👌 Very happy with my simplex. For the cheap price you get alot for the money. You can use it on land and it works great under water aswell. I do belive you will like this machine😊 Check out paystreak superfreak "under simplex aswell". He understand that machine👍 Thanks for sub!
@@Alex_Anders thanks for the reply. Will do.
What is that white stuff on the back of your connections on your Simplex??
Its tape. It was winter, 2-3°, and one of the first time with the simplex underwater so I was consern that the ironplugs could shring and small saltwater drops would leak inside the machine so to prevent that I used tape.
Hola amigo que configuracion manejas cada vez que lo metes al agua salada??
Uso el modo de estacionamiento 2. sensibilidad baja. gb 0. mantiene a mg lejos de aquellas áreas con muchas "hot rocks".
Has everything continued to work properly after this? Also what is that tape you have around the plugs? Is that needed or just a peace of mind?
Everything works great👍🏻Both pinpointer and simplex. I use tape for protect it against saltwater. And it was very cold in the water incase the iron should shrink. But one time I used my garden hose to clean it after I used it in saltwater. The icecold water made some condens inside the controllbox so I want do that again. Still use it underwater👍🏻
@@Alex_Anders awesome, Thanks for the info. Ive used mine in creeks but havnt went full under water YET, Will be doing it soon.
@James Hill good luck. Hope you find something cool👍🏻🤗
Please some videos with the nokta and the nemo hookah, I'd love me a nemo hookah , no pressure but soon please lol
Hehe, hell yeah! We got the nemo by blu3. Actually 2 of them. The weather in Norway has been pretty ruff lately. Its been bad visibility and crazy wind for the last 6 months. But now we hope tide is changing and luck are waiting for some treasurehunting🤗🙏🤩
Amigo quiero comprar un simplex para solo agua salada me lo recomiendas???
Si quieres gastar la menor cantidad de dinero posible, ¡sí! Hay otros detectores que se adaptan mejor al agua salada por un poco más de dinero. Por ejemplo, Minelab Equinox 600 :-)
Can you share setting on your simplex...cos i do all metal on mine while hunting under salt watee
Now you got the settings under the description😊
@@Alex_Anders tq bro...will see soon...
Tak 👍
What configuration did you use to use this detector in salt water?
Settings on SIMPLEX: - Parkmode - G/B 0.00 - Iron volume 1 bar - Not discrimination, the first and 2 last ones. - Frequency shift F3 - Sensitivity 4/6 - Volume full. No headphones👍🏻
i have to admit im a little scared to use mine underwater, when you look at the main housing there are vents, surly that's not water tight
I know what you mean. I was too. But, in the instructions they say its waterproof, submurried down to 3m. So if it cant handle it I guess I will contact them and explain. I wash it in springwater after salt water everytime!
Podrías mostrar cómo proteges el equipo para sumergirlo?
Debido al altísimo contenido de sal que tenemos en el mar, protejo un poco más los postes. Luego hacía mucho frío en el agua, así que si la plancha se encogía, tenía un poco de protección adicional.
Been debating with this or garrett 300i recently learned the garrett is good machine but but uneasy through salt water.
have never tried garret under water. Personally, I don't know which model does the best of the two. In any case, the Simplex is a good machine for the price it comes with😊
Garrets not underwater capable but my friend said when taking on the beach it has salt water interference. This machine looks well and in all terrains.
What is that white bit on the coil cable near the back of the control box? Is that something special?
Its just tape. It was winter, 2-3°, and one of the first time with the simplex underwater so I was consern that the ironplugs could shring and small saltwater drops would leak inside the machine so to prevent that I used tape.
@@Alex_Anders What kind of tape do you use?
@@mmouhourtismm I use SIGA tape, the white version. Its exstreme sticky. But with that said nokta makro never say that its necessary with tape. Just someting I do
Hello Fridykk, thank you for these detection dives, I see that you are using the Nokta simplex underwater without the waterproof helmet, could you explain to me the trick you use to plug the helmet connections, I found your idea very handy, thanks for your feedback, Vever. (France )
Obviously it will be a big blue thumb and I subscribe😉
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoy them and thanks for subscribing🇨🇵👌
I use a very strong tape to keep a tight seal, most because the water is very salty here and I want to prevent salt hitting the ironplugs. Plus the water is freezing cold. If the ironplugs should shrink small amont of water could get inside.
Its enough to use the cap nokta says. Or just get the underwater headphones from nokta makro. But dont take (be carefoul) the simplex to far down underwater. Keep it (at least the computer) between 1-2m depht. I have never experienced any problems with taking my simplex to 3m but I have seen other talking about problems after being down to 3m. Maybe its a dangerous zone for the simplex. To close to not handle the preasure🤔 Just letting you know. And never wash it with icecold water from like the garden hose. That can cause condens inside the controllbox.
This is my experience with simplex underwater. Its a wonderful detector and I love this machine underwater/on land👍🏻👍🏻
@@Alex_Anders
Good evening Fridykk, thank you again for your quick and very clear answer, I also understood that the simplex + was limited to 3 m. maximum (don't overdo it 😅), but this zone is very interesting in my sector also with the temperature in addition. thank you for your channel. Vever. >-)))))°>
Thanks for the in depth reply I also have a simplex the under water is what go me I got the wired under water head phones but if I go on a under water dig I will tape em up just like you did nice to gain confidence seeing you use it under water thanks pal happy hunting best of luck 🙂🙂
@@chriswright331 hye Chris !
Enjoy your simplex, since i've buy the Excalibur 2 (Minelab), but i'm using Always my simplex who's a nice detector 😋👍🥰, thanks for your message
Vever from France 🇨🇵.
Hey Fridykk can you please [lease please make a how to ground balance in salt water?🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Its actually very easy. I allways ground balance before I enter water. Just set it to 0.00 manually and your ready to detect underwater. Remember that some places has alot of "hot rocks" and will be a bit challingen for your detector vs places with only sand and less chattering. Listen closely to the sound from the detector on my vids. You will see sand= quiet. Allot of mixed rocks and sand= More chattering. More mineralization. Good to know before you jump out in the sea. But at the same time you need those rocks that your finds can get stuck on.
Good
😊👍
Great video👌
Is it good idea to buy this detector only for underwater salt hunting?
I boght the Simplex because its a good choice as an "first detector". It works great over/underwater. For me. I didn't know how much time I would spend on detectinghobby. Would I be more on land or underwater. Now I know detecting underwater is way more fun then on land. So next one out in the future is Minelab Excalibur II. So if you are after a detector for only underwater maybe its best to buy a underwater detector. It will cost more then simplex. Simplex is very cheap. But I am happy with it and will have plenty more trips out in the sea😊👌
Fridykk Vestfold Ok thank you for your response it was helpful!
Hello, like from Ukraine Thanks for your video. Tell me please what are the white things behind? (you insert there your headphone) Sorry English it's not my native.
Hey, thanks for liking the video. Glad you enjoyed it:) The white tape you see attached to the detector is there because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty. Without headphones I use the cap, that follow the simplex, over the plug. Then I tape with a very strong tape(siga) around this and one strips over there. This works for now but I belive its possible to buy a waterproof black adapter to headphones and that will solve the problem. But I will have to order it from USA i think.
@@Alex_Anders Thanks for your answer. You thinking the water protection in MD it's not enough from the factory? If I right understood deep was behind the one meter.
@@user-gn9uu2qw2w Simplex is waterproof down to 3m(10feet). No problems there. But I think, not 100% sure, that if you are taking the detector underwater you need the black plug similar to the one going to the coil. From factory you get 1 black attached and a green adapter. The green adapter is not waterproof I belive. But maybe the black little cap is supposed be enough. So, to be sure, I use the little cap and then tape and use strips around to be sure.
What brand and model is the pinponter
Garrett PRO-POINTER AT
Pretty interesting to see the simplex perform underwater. The beeps in the video was underwater, can you still hear the beeps underwater?
Its raw fotage. So the beep you here goes straigth in to the gopro. While snorkel and detecting I have to have my ears submurried to hear. And it works pretty well. At least for now. But I am looking for headphones and I think am gonna go for a grey ghost model. I feel I am missing the hole soundpicture without headphones. And maybe even some of the low tones if I miss them on the screen. Hope that make sense😊
Did you have your headphone jacked into the GoPro with the wire from the simplex?
@@BCTreasureTrails No, I dont have headphones. Yet! The sound you hear comes from the simplex.
@@Alex_Anders did you have vibration mode on as well?
@@gambitassassin no vibrations. Never tried it underwater or on land.
Hello. how deep you test this Nokta? I have same, but I em afraid to dive deep.
In this video only 1-1,5m. But I have had my Simplex underwater on 3m many times. I suspect the green adapter is for use on land. Thats why I am glad my plug is taped. If you compare them you will see that the plug from coil is thicker than the other one that follows the simplex. Not 100% sure but atleast tape it good before using it underwater.
Thanks for answering. 💪
@@vukfilipovic8629 👌
Hello genius, a pleasure. I ask you a question, do you recommend the Simplex for the Mexican Caribbean Sea, I go for a month and some tell me that in salt water it gives false signals. There are better and stable ones but they are very expensive and my budget is for this one or for the Minelab 440... What do you say?
Thanks!🙏😊 The control box on minelab 440 does not withstand water. So there is a risk of being near water or walking with it in the water. Even if you get waterproof protection, the electronics are still exposed compared to simplex which can be thrown into the sea without doing any damage. That said, the minelab 440 is easy to use. Easy to understand. It has many positive elements to it that make it more interesting than simplex in my eyes. Had I needed a detector to search the sand, I would no doubt have gone for minelab 440 instead of simplex +. Whats nice about Simplex is that it is a cheap, good and a robust machine that can withstand underwater search as well. It is easy to understand and use. But your friend is right about false signals. If there is a lot of magnetism and disturbance in the bottom biotope (stones and gravel) simplex struggle with interpreting the signals versus when there is only sand. I've always wanted a minelab too. They seem like incredibly nice machines and I'll be investing in a proper minelab one day👍
@@Alex_Anders Thanks bro...i decided for Simplex. It's my first detector, I'm a newbie and I can't spend a lot of money. Maybe it wasted time due to some false frequencies in the sea but I don't think it's that serious. Thanks again Bro...The caribbean is waiting for me...
Wow, what a great place to detect. No, its never waste of money. Simplex is a good machine for the price you pay! I dont detect to much myself but its a fun thing to have in house and I havent regret that buy at all. Good luck and enjoy your new machine😃
Make sure to check out paystreak superfreak. In the playlist you will find simplex. That man understand this machine. He will learn you how to understand it
@@Alex_Anders Thanks bro
I want to ask you a question the simplex is unstable in the sea bone salt water
in some areas yes. my experience is that a lot of pebbles of different kinds can create false signals. where one finds "hotrocks". stone with iron / magnetic content. but in areas with a lot of sand it is quiet. It works well under water. at least at the cheap price
And how does it work in black sand under salt water? And what modes do you recommend and what sensitivity do you recommend and what balance do you recommend
@@deteccionpura5772 low sensitivity and park mode 2 is what i use. we do not have black sand in norway. so do not know how simplex behaves in that environment. You can not just try it out and see how it goes😊
@@Alex_Anders ok thankyou
Why do you have the connectors taped up? It’s waterproof as is. Right?
Yes, it is. Its because the water is 3°, very cold, and dont want water to leak inside the box incase the iron should shrink. Probebly not but just for safty🤔 I juse 7mm gloves so I have put a little nob under the tape for the pinpointer. It makes it easy to turn on/off. We dont wait for summer to come for detecting underwater😋
Fridykk Vestfold thanks for the fast reply. Awesome video. I subscribed. Check my channel when you have a minute.
@@SEAWORM Thanks Kevin😊🤘 Off course I check it out👌
I send greetings from Russia, a good channel, perhaps I will watch, a good Find!)
Thanks for the support Fuzia😁🙏
@@Alex_Anders If not difficult, can you tell me whether it is worth taking Simoolex? It’s just that many reviews are either bribery, or it’s not clear what is said there. I just want to buy with headphones, and now I think, to dig up, or to buy right away.
@@fuzia9207 It depends on how you want to use your detector. Lets say you want to have a good detector to use underwater and on land. Like I want. Then simplex is perfect. If you want only water. Not interessed to walk with detector on land. Then you will find better options for underwater use. But the thing with simplex is the price it comes with. Its a good detector for the cheap price. You will allways find better soliutions out there if you give more money. For me, simplex is good because its easy to use, its waterproof and handles minerals pretty good and you get easy accesd to updates if you want that. The warterproof headphones that follows the simplex is not good they say. The sound inside is too low while detecting. I dont want work with that! Thats way I got my Garrett waterproof headphones redesign for the simplex. This is my experience with using the simplex 😊
@@Alex_Anders In general, I work in the mountains, where some devices are dull. And even more so, there are good places there, but they are flooded. Yes, and I want to dive, so. Simplex fails for me. I would take Zozo, but due to the closure of work, I ran and collected metal 😐. To tell the truth, in Russia many people collect metal using a metal detector)
Hello, nice video. What settings do you use underwater? Hello...
Thanks🙏 These are the settings I use underwater. With the latest vers. parkmode 2 is better I think👍
- Parkmode (parkmode 2)
- G/B 0.00
- Iron volume 1 bar
- Not discrimination, the first and 2 last ones. - Frequency shift F3
- Sensitivity 4/6
- Volume full. No headphones
@@Alex_Anders Thank you very much, the simplex plus must reach me. I am very curious to try it underwater. Thanks again. 🙏
@@miracolo2009 Its a good detector for the price! Easy to use as well and works even better on land. I love this machine for that👍
@@Alex_Anders Thanks again for the advice, a hug from Sicily. Italy.
I have the same detector and also the small "scuba" one
Yeah, love my simplex. Its a nice detector. Was the black one you used on your shorts a scuba tector?
@@Alex_Anders yeah that's the one,it's a nokta makro pulse dive, it's great but has no discrimination
@@NorthWalesspearfishing yep, same as scuba tector. No discrimination. But it's still fun to have😊
İts reaaly working Walter inside how much ours?
Does this detector work underwater without the headphones plugged in?
Yes, but its a struggle to catch the tones. It works but its not optimal. Now I got headphones and its much better. I recommend headphones😊
Hey Fridykk which waterproof headphones is best for the simplex under water?
Now that nokta makro has updatet the simplex software I will recommend nokta makro simplex underwater headphones. It should be plenty of volume even with the neoprene hood👍🏻👍🏻
@@Alex_Anders would you not recommend the garret ones you used in one of the videos?
@@Alex_Anders and I have the 2.77 version will the Nokta Makro headphones work with it?
I had the 2.68 vers. and trouble with volume. Back then it was to low volume with the underwater headphones from nokta makro. I had my local musicstore to custommade my headphones for simplex. Now after the updates from nokta makro it isen't a issue anymore. So I would go for them😊👌
@@Alex_Anders in my country the Nokta Makro ones costs double the amount of the garret so which one should I go for in that case?
What settings did you use? I put beach mode but in water it keeps beeping all the time
Settings on SIMPLEX:
- Parkmode
- G/B 0.00
- Iron volume 1 bar
- Not discrimination, the first and 2 last ones.
- Frequency shift F3
- Sensitivity 4/6
- Volume full. No headphones
The white tape you see attached to the detector is because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty.
I useally prefer parkmode 2. And low sensitivity😊
Thank you so much man! Today it was driving me nuts as it seemed pretty useless that way. In my case what happened is that i lost a watch while surfing and I'm trying to find it. So even if it'd underwater you'd reccomend parkmode 1 and all those adjustments that's right?
@@matteocarofei5389 Be patient while you search. It can be difficult to find something concrete. Use park mode 2 and low sensitivity. High sensitivity creates a lot of unnecessary noise and you end up more confused. Hope you find your valuables and wish you all happiness and luck😁🤞
I'll keep you updated! When you say "Not discrimination, the first and the last 2" you mean only those ones flagged black?
you recommend the simplex to detect in the sea?
For the price it works great. Works pretty much just like on land when used underwater. Great on coins👍
Make a video about what you do to the conectores...you put plastic on it?..... show us.
And the PIN poiter to.... please.🇵🇹
I have taped the "iron part" of the detector because its 3° in the water. Very cold. If the iron should shrink I have a backupplan. The pinpointer is also taped with an mutter underneath because my gloves is 7mm thick an the buttom to small to to press😊👍🏻
@@Alex_Anders
IS A CHINESE GP PINPOINTER? UNDER WATER????
@@la.detectorismoeobjectosen7558 its a GARRET-POINTER AT. Think its waterproof to 6 or 7m underwater🤔
@@la.detectorismoeobjectosen7558 it is foolish to buy the 100$ pinpointers, the no name ones work just as well. And if you want to be absolutely sure its waterproof just buy a can of plast-a-dip or rubberize-it (both products are just rubber coatings in a can. Then just cut around the battery compartment. Battery compartment is waterproof with a rubber gasket. This is what I have done for a few years and it works great for diving in about 10-12 feet of water. Still using the same pointer as when I started.
@@burnheretic3950 for the record. Someone gave it to me for free😁 I use it on land&underwater. Works great. Im sure many others pinpointers do aswell.
Great job all on free diving.
Thanks for the support mate👌
what is the white tape on the coil plug for?
The white tape you see attached to the detector is because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty☺️
@@Alex_Anders thank you, thats what I thought, some sort of teflon tape.
@@HansZarkovPhD Its a construction tape like we use on work. I work as an carpenter. Sigatape👍🏻
How deep you can go with that metal detector ? I would like to buy one to used in mexico , there’s some pirate cannons in tha I know and I would like to go around there
Thanks for the subscribe!🤗 You can take it 3m or 10feet down. So far Im very happy with my Simplex. But if you only gonna searth underwater there are other detectores maybe better. But I am not sure that they could match Simplex on price. Let me know if you know or find a better underwater detector in the same price level👍🏻
Fridykk Vestfold
Thank you very much ! Maybe I will have to give it a try ! To the simplex first ! Maybe doesn’t go deep enough for the cannons , but , I guess it’s something to start ! I will keep researching and For sure if you find something let me
Know ,
Im new on this , is that tape kinda extra protection. For the detector ? Have you try go deeper ?
@@zugs14 If detecting is new thing for you then simplex is perfect. Then you can use it over water aswell. Works great on land. I have never used it deeper then 1.5m. But I use Nemo by blu3 hocka diversystem down to 3m so I am gonne take the simplex down to 3-3,5m. The tape is because temp. in the water is 3°, very cold, so just to protect the iron if it should shrink. Good luck mate👍🏻👍🏻
Fridykk Vestfold
Ok thank you ! I guess I will try that , bcz the place on the ocean where then pirate canons are it’s like 10 meters , maybe I practice with this until I find a right one Togo that deep ! I’m not sure if a handheld pulse dive will work , I maybe need something better for that deep ! Thank you I will keep watching your videos to get more tips
@@zugs14 yeah, simplex goes very deep. Look for vids. for that on YT. I use 3/6(sens.) In seawater you have to take some of the sens. down to avoid chattering from the detector. Check out Simplexgroup on facebook aswell. Nice group🤗👌 Thanks for suport gustavo😊👍🏻
One question you have detected at sea with the detector in vibration mode without headphones
No, always use sound. I like to hear the different frequencies in the tone
I mean, you have never used it in vibration mode under the sea
@@deteccionpura5772 Nope. Never tried it before.
Is this machine a VLF, PI ?
Its a vlf. It works pretty good underwater. Minerals change from place to place here where I dive and I can hear that on the chattering. But it gives me pretty accurate signals all over. To be that good underwater and on land makes it for me a pretty good machine. Plus updates avaiable to download.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍
What settings are you used underwater ? Thx
Hey. In this vid. I use vers. 2.68 and the settings is:
- Parkmode
- G/B 0.00
- Iron volume 1 bar
- Not discrimination, the first and 2 last ones.
- Frequency shift F3
- Sensitivity 4/6
- Volume full. No headphones
For vers. 2.78 (witch I use today) parkmode 2 is what I like the best:)
@@Alex_Anders Big Thanks
@@Alex_Anders you sir is a great guy to share your experiences and knowledge! Thank you very much! Liked and subbed 👍🏼
@@dirtypp Thank you very much for very nice words. It's nice to know you like the videos and we appreciate that. You are most welcome to stay on our channel😊👍
Underwater, is it used without headphones?
Yes, thats rigth. No, headphones in this video!
Why have you hot tape on the connecting wire? And uour pointer out of interest,cheers del
The white tape you see attached to the detector is there because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty.
In addition, I have put a small metal ring over the on and off button with tape rolled over so that it is easier to turn on and off with 5mm gloves. Works great👍
Sorry late reply🙉
Why is there tape on the cord ports?
The white tape you see attached to the detector is because the water is very cold and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty.
Ok I recently got one of these detectors thank you I’ll subscribe btw
@@googuser7193 Cool. I love my simplex. So much fun. So little money spent. Fine by me😊👍 Thanks for the subscribe. That means alot to us👌 Good luck with your new detector!
are you in salt water ? i saw you are using some kind of white tape on the plugs ?
Yes, im in saltwater. The white tape you see attached to the detector is there because the water is very cold (3°) and I trying to prevent a leak in case the iron shrinks. Probebly not, but just for safty!
@@Alex_Anders Great ! I just got my simplex .. never done it before ! thanks ! Just one more ! I saw you are using Park mode underwater ? does it work or what is the deference if i use it in beach mode ? Sorry too many questions ! Saludos Amigo desde Mexico
@@RodolfoCarrera No problem😊 Bye the way. I dont use headphones while detecting on this video. You will need that eventually. Its ok for now but if you want the hole sound spectrum its necessary. Snorkling creates alot sound. For the settings I find beachmode very confusing. Maybe I am just not used to it. Parkmode is easy to understand. Its what use on land. I have heard that fieldmode is supost to work good underwater aswell. Are you an member on the Simplex facebook group. Check it out!
@@Alex_Anders muchas gracias !
How long does this battery work,I’ve got a new detector tomorrow
After you got in your hands you will never think about that. It last forever it seems🤙 I never use the vibrations on. Maybe that can affect batterytime.
I am not like vibrating only tone
Tnx for reply
@@GurpreetSingh-bh3xi me neither
@@GurpreetSingh-bh3xi of course👍🏻 good luck with simplex and welcome to the simplexclub. Remeber to join simplexgroup on facebook. Many nice tips. New video on the way out on this channel to👍🏻😊
