  • This week me and Rick went back to some of our first machines! we tool the Nokta Simplex+ and the Minelab Vanquish 340 out on a small field to see how they both do. We thought this might be a great comparason for people thinking about getting it to the metal detecting hobby. These are both amazing machines for the money! the nokta is built to last forever and the vanquish has the poewer of multi IQ. Some cracking find this week and some of the same old junk! it really was a pleasure to get back out and metal detect with these 2 machines. Enjoy all

      Almost every detecting channel got the 540 pro pack so there are almost no videos or tips for the 340. The 340 is the best value in detecting ever made because it works anywhere. Finally us regular poor folks can hunt on beaches. Plus the Simplex can make you a fortune if you can find old freshwater swimming holes. It`s also a deep silver machine in field mode.

    • @rickhill4766
      @rickhill4766 ปีที่แล้ว

      Absolutely right Del mate, the depth of both of these machines is superb for the cost of them and they are both very capable. Simex has the edge on the build quality and being waterproof and the vanquish has the edge on stability and multi frequency tech in my opinion. But as we said definately a place for both in the market 😃💪

    I always thought the sensitivity setting was used to set the threshold based on mineralisation. Cranking it up is dumb. You set sensitivity so that you can barely hear the threshold while using the machine.
    Maybe I'm wrong, but that's the way it used to be.

    • @TheMetalDetectingChannel
      @TheMetalDetectingChannel  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I normally set the sensitivity to the ground so if it's not very mineralised I can crank it right up. I tend to never use threshold as I prefer not to have that tone :-)

So I’m gonna sacrifice the accessories lol!
      Btw - Took the pancky in the beach for 5 hrs, that thing beeped about 25 times and I never found anything. So I’d rather have one that actually beeps when something is there. Otherwise I could be missing out abs wasting time. I’ll gladly give extra $ for a few acccesories. Pin pointer, Digging tools, etc. Thx guys. HAPPY HUNTING!!!
