Nobody reads this far down...what are you doing down here?
I am now a Nokta-MAKRO dealer. Contact me via email at thehuntergt@gmail.com to get pricing and info on all detectors - coils - accessories.
Hello Hunter, do any of the other nokta makro coils work with the simplex. Also do you know if they will be selling any smaller coils for the simplex?
@@illsaythefuckiwant1867 No other coils will work. They should be releasing Simplex coils anytime now. I would think in the next few weeks.
@@thehuntergt thanks bro!
TheHunterGT just watched the simplex video and you helped me decide to get one. Been looking around and the simplex is the one for me.
Hows the battery duration?
This was everything I could have wanted in a review. Please keep up your thorough personality in your review videos, it was perfect! God bless :)
Best and most in depth review I have seen on the simplex! love your new intro!
I appreciate your kind words Papa!
I just ordered this detector after watching tons of videos, including yours. I have not seen ONE bad review on it yet. I have two Bounty Hunter detectors which I call "entry level" machines. My Simplex will arrive Friday. Can't wait. Thanks.
thank you for making this video. i just received my simplex+ yesterday & can't wait to start swing that coil. i've had detectors in the past, but never stuck w/ the hobby long term, so i consider myself a beginner & certainly had a budget for my new machine. i went w/ this one because everything i saw online convinced me this was the best bang for the buck.
My pleasure. Thank you watching. Best of luck out there with the Simplex. Great detector for sure.
Anyone else watching this for the 4th time? Mine should arrive next week.
yep
First time
I bought one too....and fond 4 coins in the dark.....5 feet out my door in my yard....where I have used a Garrett Detector all over it. These detectors are amazing
Yep
5th
Just got my simplex+ and this video is the best most in-depth video I’ve seen so far 👍
Thanks I really appreciate that.
I just pre bought one because of this video, thank you for steering me this way. Now i just have to wait for them to come back in.
Best of luck with it for sure. I think you will be quite thrilled upon arrival.
I just upgraded from my BH Tracker IV. Bought this on pre-order, and was waiting for a full review. This has everything I wanted to know. I feel so much more comfortable using it now. Thanks so much for the video! I can't wait to take it out tomorrow! EDIT: I would love to see you review it in freshwater, like a river. That's where I'll be doing most of my hunting. I'm curious to see how it does underwater. Until then, I'm gonna hit the banks, parks, and pastures. Thanks again!
That is quite the upgrade. You will be thrilled it I think. I'll have plenty of water videos coming in the spring and summer. Getting a wet-suit and all that good stuff. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Just purchased this machine yesterday, and wow! What a phenomenal detector, it is so light, clean looking, the display screen is amazing, easy to see even in the sunlight, the buttons on the display screen are fantastic, the build quality feels like it should have cost double the amount its on the market for, very happy!
It could easily be sold for $500 and still fly off the shelves. Just 5 years back it likely would have been in the $650-700 range. NoktaMakro hit a grand slam for sure.
Brand new to this. Considered a few models. Watched this video and bought one on Amazon. With Headphones & free shipping $339. Excellent, clear, practical video. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much Randy. Hope you enjoy the Simplex. Very good machine for the price.
I got one for Christmas from my 2 adult daughters and their partners. My first detector. New hobby here I come.
Best simplex review on TH-cam hands down
Thanks so much I appreciate that.
Best video I've seen on this unit. Very thorough. I was glad to see that you do not have to use the wireless headphone. Other videos I watched never mentioned the dongle option. I will be ordering it now fo sure. New sub.
Thank you! Just keep in mind the dongle only comes with the non wireless version at $250...the plus version will not have it.
@@thehuntergt Yes sir. I do not want the wireless headphone. I was under the impression that you could not plug a headphone into non wireless version
Thanks for this explaining video. This will be my first metal detector, bought with wireless headphones at 399€ and should arrive this week. I spent hours to see tests and reviews of metal detectors, I can't wait it arrives !
You picked a winner for your first detector. It is a very good. Best of luck with it and thank you for watching!
HunterGT Rebel Diggers other half here. Thanks for this great video! Mine hasn't arrived yet but I'm already feeling confident in the ease of use in this new detector and your video helped tremendously!!
Thank you for watching! You might have to pry it out of his hands and remind him it is YOUR detector! 😁 It really is a great machine and your confidence should be high. Looking forward to seeing some finds!
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, THGT!
/Anders, from Sweden
Best Review I have seen on the Nokta Makro Simplex+ so far I have been going through multiple video's and this one by far is the best one yet Keep up the good work PS All I love all of your video's and they are sooo entertaining.
Thank you for the kind words. Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Best of luck out there.
Best review I've come across.
Cheers from Australia.
Thank you...very kind.
Good clear review Hunter. Covers all the bases. Mine is being delivered tomorrow 11/07/19. Good luck!
Thank you! Best of luck with it.
I've got to have it!! I have an AT Pro and I bought my wife an ACE 400. I'm definitely buying the Simplex for her to use in the water and a backup for me. I agree with you. I'm not a fan of where the tones break, but who knows, I may get used to it.
I think you will be quite impressed. You might not use it as a backup at times. Thanks for watching and best of luck with it.
This will become your primary detector, mark my words. I had a chance to compare my AT Pro ( which I love and know extremely well ) at pound the ground this past weekend and it blew my AT Pro away. Getting my simplex this Sunday! Cant wait, I will definitely have some video of it in the field soon.
@@wicked_digger thanks for the update. The wife has told me I can buy it for my birthday, which is next month. I'm super excited.
@@detectingsmiths9350 that fantastic! Sunday is my bday! Going on a small group hunt on 4 acres. Im going to hit it hard and hopefully get some great footage for my channel.
@@wicked_digger Can you develope pls?what features Simlex got better than At Pro?
Hey man! I'm new to the hobby and this video helped me out a lot. Big thanks!
Happy to hear it. Thanks for watching.
it's been well worth the wait/delays.
great machine... lightweight,well built, intuitive controls. 💯
Well worth it in my opinion. They went above and beyond on this one.
@@thehuntergt
totally agree. 💯
Glad to see this review. I just ordered mine today.
Always the most informative reviews. Well done, Hunter GT!
Thank you I appreciate that.
This machine is going to hurt the sales of other companies!
It will definitely sell very well.
Sadly in Europe it's 299 euro(329 us) or 399 euro (440 us,1 April 2020). Price in the US is 226 euro (btw is the 250/350 before or after taxes). But hope to buy it soon anyways.
I just ordered it. Indeed in EU is 300 eur..and I cannot understand why at all..
@@neagoeandrei6050 Shipping cost i am guessing for the companies to transport over seas
@@walterthecat2145 But then the detector would be more expensive in the U.S. I think it has to do with the V.A.T.; in Sweden it´s 25 % (yes, not kidding!), hence the higher price.
Review to end all reviews, I’m sold.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Got my Simplex with additional SP24 coil, love it, the thing is a beast for the money, you know your stuff.
Thanks... the more tests I see of this machine the more convinced I am!
Thanks for watching!
Best reviews on TH-cam!!!
Mighty nice of you!
Best review of Makro Simplex :) TY :)
Thank you.
Great video! Ive been swinging the makro for 2 years .I have been detecting since 1974.I still have my first detector that still works.Its an old Fisher M scope BFO. I also swing a Minelab Sovereign XS which is an amazing detector with crazy depth.
Hi mate , as you know there are loads of reviews out there for the Simplex but you nailed it as usual , well done a great review , ATB GL & HH Rob .
That's why this one is the Ultimate review LOL...excuse my ego! ATB my friend. Appreciate your kind words as always.
Hey Robbie by friend!!! And hello Hunter GT... I've watched so many reviews of the Simplex and this one's the best!!! I plan on buying one this week!!!! Hunter GT please give me the info to buy one. I bought my Tek-Point pinpointer through you. 😊😊😊
@@thehuntergt I love your ego!!! 😂😂😂💜💜💜
Hi billie , from what i have seen so far you cant go wrong with it for the price , hope it all works out ok and you have a great time with it ,take care my friend ATB GL & HH Rob .
@@billiejohoward7443 Heya Billie I am a dealer now so feel free to send me an email to thehuntergt@gmail.com
im glad you mentioned the condition of the box. Cuz i was thinking the same thing. this isnt the video i need tho. but you do an awesome job with your reviews. keep searching
I think boxes from the distributors will be in better shape as they come on a pallet wrapped in the bottom of an airplane. This got bounced around as a small parcel. Thanks for watching!
Say what you want...I bought this detector and it KICKS BUTT. It gets deep targets and is EASY to use
I agree 100%
Thanks for making this so simple to understand. Loving the video.
Glad you enjoyed it...thanks for watching.
I just got mine today! Thank you for the Awesome demonstration video & Honest review!
The features this machine has for the price is crazy. I cannot wait to get one.
Agree 100% Ted. Nothing comes close for the price.
Got one on order...hopefully arrives before Christmas! Great review... Other companies will have to step up if they want to beat it!
Nice to hear you have one coming. Should be there well before Christmas lol. I agree other companies definitely need to step it up!
definently going to get this one looks like a well rounded machine
Nothing beats it for the price...or double.
Just bought one, can't wait for express post to deliver
Just ordered this machine! Sounds a lot like my Tesoro Lobo Super-traq and I love that. Thanks for the review!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching. Never used a Lobo ST but have always heard great things about them.
Ordered mine yesterday with the help of Plugmaster Ford. Can't wait!!
Best of luck with it!
good air test and awesome info, thanks for posting
Thanks for watching!
Nice review, thanks for the work 👌🏻
Thanks for watching!
Best review after watching many.
So as I see best depth is field but you have swing a bit slower. Great video mate. Thanks a lot!
Correct. Field and Beach will both provide superior depth compared to Park mode - which increases recovery speed and separation (at depth cost). Appreciate the kinds words!
@@thehuntergt I guess park mode will be the one for very trashy areas then. Again, this helps a lot, thanks!
Impressive. Even owning a Deus and a Nox this is the perfect detector to take along on a vacation or just to keep in the car. Just ordered one for me.
Yes indeed. That will be my primary use for it. Great little scout detector to check a site for deep goodies.
My Simplex is already on his way to me. Will be here in 2 days.
Correction :Simplex will arrive tomorow afternoon. This detector shop in the Netherlands is very fast in delevering. Ordering one day and delevery already the next day.
I’m loving it!! great review good sir👏
We have really dumb laws about detecting in Sweden but hope it can be adjusted soon... can’t detect my own lawn but Need 80$ permit from the nature and relics “department” for a specific area and if we find something from before mid 18 century our permit is revoked with no refund! Hey THAT’S not super fresh! Thanx for the video and help us poor Swedes if possible😉😊👍
Thanks you for watching and enjoying it! Sorry to hear about the laws in Sweden. Keep up the good fight and hopefully common sense will win!
Very informitive mate, i just ordered a simplex so ill be using your vid as a starter guide :)
Thanks! Best of luck with it...great detector.
@@thehuntergt seems ok for the price , underwater test coming soon
Just watched and subscribed to your page here....I just bought the Simplex+ myself and like its ease of use. I live next door in NJ on the shore so I primarily am a beach hunter and this machine works well in the wet sand!
Maybe one day I will venture to the woods like you and try my luck there.....
Thanks again for your video
GT Hunter you're the best everyone running at machine did not show how to work the ground balance or the pinpointer but you did so that puts a feather in your hat I subscribe to your channel thank you so much my friend your best friend from Atlanta Georgia
Hey thanks for the sub and nice words man. I really appreciate it.
Well done. Hearing grumblings that it is noisy at some beaches in UK.
It's a high gain unit and single freq VLF. I assume they are correct on some beaches.
I used mine for the 1st time today 9/06/20 and just turned it on and ran it I started finding stuff I found a chain at about 1.5 inches it was a junker but dang this machine does work good for a beginner and will be super for me, I just need to learn it and I will be finding Gold and silver this machine is the Bees knees man.
Glad to hear you hit the ground running with it. Great detector for the price. The price to performance king in my opinion. Best of luck and thanks for watching.
@@thehuntergt no really a good learn video you have made. next time make one for average thick gold and/or silver chains and most of all!!?!. do one with a big deep gold ring a man size ring if you can 2 thumbs up man on this last video .
Getting one, for sure.
Would have liked to purchase it from you - but the shipping is just too expensive.
/Anders, from Sweden
No worries Anders. I agree - you would be crazy to pay shipping from here to there.
I bought it and now in 2 weekends i found so many things, today 7 coins in garden and forest. additional i bought the white trx and i am fast digging now, highly recommend a good pinpointer additional. it has internal pinpointer which is quite good for the initial location of the target but once in a hole use a pinpointer.
Glad to hear you are enjoying it! Great detector for the price. I agree a PP is a must have tool.
Great video, honest unbiased very informative, great help to newbies, many thanks really enjoyed this.
Thanks Chris, I appreciate the kind words.
Simplex Time, and yes that intro was ultra-cool! I am impressed with the performance of the Simplex!
Thanks! Long video but hopefully worth it!
You should build the ultimate test bed to you're liking. I think a neat example would be with freshly dug coins that still are dirty and uncleaned but you know what they are. I really have not seen that one.
I don't think many detector companies want me showing their machine not hitting a 6 inch coin in my terrible soil. 😀
Thanks this has convinced me on buying one great vid
Glad to hear...thanks for watching.
Solid enough test, outside a field trial. This is a solid machine.
So far so good. Thanks for watching.
Great review and I'm going to get one. Only problem I had with the review is you never did a beach mode and I live on the beach and will probably only be using it on the beach. I know you said the beach mode was only one tone but still would have been cool. Thank you for your great review,.
Appreciate you watching. Yeah I didn't do beach mode or all-metal as some of my videos get pretty long in the tooth. I do know there are some other tests with it in beach mode online...Gigmaster being one of them.
@@thehuntergt ok thanks a lot man
Great video, how about a look at that Nokta-MAKRO pack detector. I believe it's called IMPACT. I'd love to see a comparison of these two models. While the Simplex+ is all water proof, the IMPACT looks like it might have better balance.
Thanks David. I will be asking for them to send me one for review soon. Looks to be awesome for the price.
Great review dude! Just got mine today.
Thanks! Best of luck out there.
Thank you for the review.
My pleasure - thanks for watching.
Excellent best review yet of this detector everything I needed to know definitely buying one
Thank you for the kind words. It really is a great detector for the price.

Vermont Derek from Metal Detecting Channel recommended your channel! I’m looking forward to watching your videos 😎
I am also trying to build my channel.
Thanks for being here...I appreciate it. Best of luck on the channel. I'll go check it out.
TheHunterGT Thank You so much 😎
Very helpful vid for a noob like me. The recovery test sounded like a politician trying to answer a question without answering it - like Charlie Brown's teacher on the phone. Thanks!
Thanks very good review and teaching video, you made it very informative and interesting 👍
Thanks Larry...I appreciate that.
Hot damn boy...you done blowed my mind with your demo. If only I had found this detector before I got my gold Monster I could have bought 2 of them instead. I'm going to purchase one for the beach that I live close by. Thanks man you are a very knowledgeable person on this detector.
My pleasure and thanks for the compliment...appreciate you watching.
Good informative video
Got mine yesterday. Awesome. Sounds like the Sooty and Sweep show, UK guys will understand that. Thanks for the review.
😂😂😂 at least it doesn't sound like Sue or Matthew. That would be annoying.
WoW nice breakdown very informative And easy to follow And retain Thank you
Glad you enjoyed - thanks for the comment.
Excellent video. Many thanks for your helpful effort. Much appreciated.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching.
I just bought one. This is perfect.
Great review..!! For the price....and easy to use detector....this may very well be the one..!!
Thanks Rick...glad you enjoyed it. Great for the price.
Dropping elbows!!!!***😂😂😂 Love it 💜💜💜
It was slightly banged up!
Great film my friend!
Thank you sir!
Cool vid m8. Like u say it is what it is. I’d never swap it for my nox but a backup or loaner for a buddy, hell yeah 👍🏻
It won't be replacing my Anfibio or Kruzer, but a great backup and loaner for sure. Somebody just entering the hobby will feel great. Thanks for watching.
Nice review. Thanks for sharing, GL, HH and take care.
Excellent video, thank you sir.
Thanks for watching!
Love it spot on can’t wait to get mine in 2 weeks
Best of luck out there with it!
TheHunterGT thank you 😊 I’ll have to stick to watching more of your videos 🤗🤗👌
Awesome review buddy. Cany wait for mine to arrive.
Hopefully not long now.
I just bought one from my friend who got it through you and I don’t have instructions this helped a lot . I guess I’ll need todo an update ? He used it 15 times and it’s been sitting for about 4 months lol I’m off to try it 😎
Great video! Can you do one on pinpointing with the coil?
Thanks! Maybe in a 101 video someday.
Thanks for the great review......
My pleasure!
Excellent, run down on this detector, I love my simplex, I found a 1787 Connecticut 1 cent, in 10" of dirt, on semi- wet ground. I wouldn't give mine up, for nothing, when I'm done, I shall retire it to my wall of fame, with the 5 other detectors I have. Once again, Excellent, presentation....
its amazing , i love mine .
I agree 100%.
@Allan Jensen why is there lots of problems with the coil on the simplex ,?
Sooooooo i can sell my deus.....now. Looks awesome and i miss the Impact i had. Great audio
I don't know about selling a Deus for one lol...but it is a lovely machine for the price no doubt.
Many awesome options.
I like the features and build quality !! 26,650 views with just 29 thumbs down bums...
29 thumbs down from haters who overspent on their last detector. 😢🤣😎
OMG the backlighting and lit up buttons look amazing!!!
A good looking detector for sure!
Great video Hunter. Top notch!
Thank you Jason!
Superb video..
I do not like the tones but
this thing can and will rock the boat from time to time
It may sink a few boats as well!
TheHunterGT
As long as it aint my boat 😁
Really good review what’s your view on garratt apx bud
Thanks! I like the Apex plenty. I think it performs better than people give it credit for.
A full in depth review without soil. Who the fuck are you kidding.
All of your 21 subs are waiting for you to show us how it's done properly. 😂😂😂
Great review. I’ve been looking at the CTX3030 Vs the Nox800, however after seeing this vid the Simplex has now become favourite. Im looking to buy my first and last detector so want to get it right. Main hunting will be beach (Cornwall UK). The multi frequency option on the more expensive machines may be better suited for beach work. I’m unsure.
Thanks! A multi-freq machine will absolutely work better on the beach. While this Simplex is in my opinion the best bang for the buck you can get in the single freq department...it will be bested by a MF machine in salt water. Might want to take a look at the Minelab Vanquish. It has the same tech as the Nox...only less expensive.
Awesome video, thanks for doing this one sold us on one
Excellent review!
Thanks Paul
great review decided to buy this over a garret ,should arrive 2-3 days,thanks,im in liverpool uk.loads historic places,theres an area few miles away where an american ww2 raf base was,still signs of bunkers,lol
Saw you did the field and park test but no beach test. Beach is what I was most interested in.
I rarely hunt beaches - therefore did not make the 3-hour drive just for a review video.
Simple perfect explanation,thanks ...alot of ppl say vanquish 440 is better ..but I want buy the simplex + for being a water proof..what do u think?
Thanks for watching! I personally feel the Simplex is the best price to performance detector on the market - especially if you want a waterproof detector.
@@thehuntergt oh thanks for replying ..u deserve a subscription 👏 then..
