- Want to see more metal detector testing? Please subscribe and SPANK that THUMBS UP to inspire me! SIMPLEX VS VANQUISH VS APEX WHO WINS? This is NOT a video to say one of these detectors is better than the other, this is just an "unofficial" depth test using two 10k gold rings comparing the Simplex, Vanquish and Garrett Ace Apex Metal Detectors.
We test these gold rings flat at two different depths. We see how sensitivity & EMI effects the detectors readings plus we try different modes on each detector.
RUNNING SIMPLEX VERSION 2.78 PREVIOUS VERSIONS MAY EFFECT RESULTS! I HAVE HEARD 2.77 GOES DEEPER, HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THE SUBJECT? ALSO RUNNING ACE APEX VERSION 1.28! NEWEST UPDATE!
Stock Simplex+ 11" x 11" Search Coil VS Stock Vanquish 10" x 7" Search Coil VS Ace Apex 6" x 11" Viper Search Coil
These are awesome detectors and I will let you make your own conclusion as to who won this one! Your ground conditions may vary which could sway the results. This is a simple test in my soil down in Florida.
These tests were done in moderate soil on land, I believe if this same test was done at the beach in salt water the Vanquish / Apex would have the upper hand.
We try to give each Metal Detector a fair chance to read two 10k gold rings under the ground.
Remember everyone, depth is not everything. All 3 of these detectors have their unique strengths and weaknesses. The Vanquish is a KILLER on the beach, a good detector to get if you mainly detect on the beach and can not afford or do not want to buy an equinox I like to call the vanquish the "baby nox" - The Simplex is a strong, durable, waterproof metal detector that does an awesome job on land, has a very fast processing speed and many beneficial features such as a rechargeable battery, back light, vibrate feature, multiple tone sets & more. The Ace Apex is a nice machine to get you the best of both worlds... with the new update the Garrett Apex is a lot more enjoyable to use and very quiet out at the beach.

I like seeing how each metal detector preforms differently and enjoy learning their strengths and weaknesses along the way.
I currently make videos with 4 different Metal Detectors - Nokta Makro Simplex, Minelab Vanquish 440, Garrett Ace Apex & my newest addition the Minelab Equinox 600.
Gotta have 'em all!
We are using the Gopro Hero Black 7 today.

So glad this popped up in my feed. You've just reignited my interest and passion for metal detecting. I came across very very bad times(like everyone else) during the pandemic, but mine were quadrupled due to already spiraling into the pits of hell prior to the China Virus. I unfortunately had to sell all my detectors and equipment, which broke my heart so bad that on my way to the Greyhound station from FLA to TN with 7 bags/suitcases, basically dragging my whole life with me struggling to move back home with my mom and sister, I even threw in my starter detector, a bounty hunter quicksilver, as a tip to my Uber driver. I only had $10 for a tip and he drove me 2 cities away to the nearest Greyhound stop, and it was an awkward carry. That first lil BH paid for itself and my next Garrett and probably the one after that along with some tools. I remember watching youtube back then when I first got intrigued and you and Nugget Noggin were the ones who got me hooked in and started my journey. I'm still in the hole a little bit(but way better off),but still the struggle is real, having 5 children and a failed business. I finally just landed a job and start orientation next week to get back to the 9-5 grind, so it'll remain tight for my finances for a little while longer, but after just binge watching several of your videos, the Thirst, Encouragement, Desire and just remembering the Love I have for the Hunt was just instantly reignited‼️🎯💯🏴☠️🧲🎣🏹🔍🎧💎⛏️ I'll be saving Every penny for the next month and going to donate plasma, collecting cans & copper, whatever I can do to now buy me another detector and start Hunting again. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!! Apologies for the long comment, but this is the second time you've inspired me to chase this dream with actual passion and if any advice, please add. 👍😅🙏🫵
Thanks for being real and taking your time to leave a comment, appreciate ya! I wish you the best of luck out there... this hobby is really one I can see myself doing for a long while! Just get you another machine ASAP so you can get out there and start enjoying the hunt again :)
Another lesson from the school of treasure hunting. Thanks for your time and talent!
I'm thinking about getting into this and have been looking at these 3 brands for my first detector. Great video and very helpful! Thanks so much for doing it!! I'm now a subscriber!
I have a simplex and I dig all
Repeatable signals. I live in eastern Ky and i love mine.
Great demo, thanks so much, considering the 440 as my next detector
Great information on the demonstration of each detector. Vanquish rocked. Thank you.
Lots of detectorists underestimate the value of burying targets in the yard for testing purposes. I've learned a lot about my detector in my back yard and it truly makes you much better out in the field.
Park 1, sens down one from top is my goto.
Dave you are spot on man.. If you test and practice in your backyard burying various items, you will advance your understanding of this hobby (2-3) more times than digging crazy holes at parks .
Vanquish is my go to out of these 3 detectors. But you really can't go wrong with any of these detectors. Great video my friend!!👍👍😎
Vanquish spanked those gold rings... appreciate it Jay 👍
Great channel man! I’m just getting into the hobby and can’t wait to get out this year.
Hola, son bastante similares, aunque el Vanquish me parece mas estable al detectar. La ventaja del Simplex es que se puede sumergir y creo esto es bueno, ya que en el mar aunque este totalmente sumergido, no le hace daño, y tanto el Garret como el Vanquish, si se sumergen por una caida , ya quedarian arruinados. Buen video. Saludos
I own an Equinox and a Vanquish. I use the Equinox with the 6 inch coil in parks or curb strips but the Vanquish is my go to machine on the beach. I love the solid numbers the Vanquish records where my Nox at times can be a little jumpy. I watch your hunts regularly. Keep up the good work.
Whafs a curb strip? I'm not used to metal detecting terms
@@3starperfectdeer233 in Florida the area between the sidewalk and the street know as curb strip is considered public property and is free access for hunting. Not to be abused in areas where the home owner takes great care to keep looking nice. Check out curb strip hunting on TH-cam. Then check your local state/city regulations.
I haven't been doing this very long but I think Minelab has the best technology going at the present time. Nokta"s are awesome machines. Garrett has fallen behind a little in the last few years. I love your videos and appreciate them. Thank you.
Great test👍👍😁
Sticking with my Simplex!!
Great video! I spanked that thumbs up HARD! 😅 I'm a noob and have the Vanquish 440. Seems to be great and spot on from the video reviews I've watched. Keep the videos coming!
Thx, I purchased a simplex 3 weeks ago. Digging anything. I’ve checked a gold ring, gold necklace, silver coin, iron nail and aluminum pull tab. Pull tabs always sound great, gold sounds sketchy, iron sounds like gold…lol. Prefer lower ground balance than auto by 10%, park 1. The other metal detector I have is a Bounty Hunter. Dig em all!
I like the way you think! Wish you luck out there 👍
I started detecting in the 1970s. I got an open box deal on the 340. Some might not appreciate what it`s capable of but I certainly do.
sweet! I got my vanquish 440 also second hand and couldnt be happier with it for the price, snagged it for around $180 I think...
@@TreasureOutdoors Dang! Awesome deal!
Great test on all 3 detectors, Vanquish and the Simplex+ are 2 detectors that I have. The Vanquish is definitely the deepest of the 3 detectors. The Garrett Apex is a good detector as long as you are not in an area that is infested with iron.
Awesome, those are two great detectors. I have the equinox and still use my vanquish and simplex quite often. Apex is fun to take out every now and again also, works pretty well at the beach. Thanks for watching ronald.
O simplex detectaria uma chapa de 20x20 centímetros .a um 1metro de profundidade. ?
E possível fazer um videio nesse sentido. Teste de ar.
Obrigado.
@@TreasureOutdoors
O simplex detectaria uma chapa de aço de 20x20 centímetros. A 1metro de profundidade. ? ?
E possível fazer teste de ar pra tirar a dúvida. ?
Hello ! In regards to the garrett ace apex : Would the switch to 5/10/15/20 khz do any difference to the test ? Great videos by the way. best regards from Germany
Minelab electronics are pretty impressive. So solid VDIs! Love my Nox on the beach (last night under a heavy rainy storm on the beach and picked up some coins and scrap jewelry) but I think that if I'd make a field hunt, I'd probably choose oftentimes the Simplex because it's tough as fuck. VDI and tones are not as solid as Minelab ones but with both machines, I'd probably dig the same targets.
Simplex can take a beating 👍 Just depends on the person and day I think, some days I may have skipped over those rings with the simplex but with the vanquish tones I think I would dig that every time... to be fair my local modern parks mostly have jewelry close to the surface but it's nice to know if there is something way down there which machine can hit it solid 💪 and of course it reminds me to dig those iffy signals with the simplex.. wish you luck out there! The gold is waiting for us we've just gotta swing over it and choose to dig!
I just got the simplex + and now I think I will return it , i just got back into it after takeing a break , good 10 years under my belt , started with a fisher F-2 then minlab xera305 and read all the reviews of the simplex and I'm really not impressed with the depth, and tones sound like a goose having a organism and VDI's not steady after seeing a few videos hands down the Vanq 440 wins and remember the 440 had a smaller coil then the simplex but still beats it in depth , I will spend a lil more and go with the Vanq 540 thats a big step up from the rest , great video !
That minelab spanked it!!
Very informative video, TO. SMF machines fair better on the gold, for sure. All of them are good machines. All of them will find treasures. Just gotta learn them and Keep Digging!
I agree with you there! keep on digging the treasure will eventually pop out of the ground 🤠👍
Love my 440. Great video.
It works very well.. and I like the coil size. I need to use it more often 👍
During the tests you said how a pop tab..nail..or bottle cap may affect the reading..
Having them included in the video would show how well they did against gold..
Keep it up..informative & helpful..
Turn on and go is what I use for all my detectors that I swing.. I do turn up or down the sensitivity on all of them simplex park 1 main use vanquish 540 Jewelry Nox 600 park 1 Factory Settings.. Apex would like to try out before I would buy it just cause I all ready have to many detectors ..thanks for sharing
What a great informative video
Thank you! I always enjoy doing tests and curiosities never know what the results will turn up :)
Interesting comparison but maybe not necessary to change sensitivities..when comparing against other machines.. wouldn't using max sensitivity on each machine only give us a better idea of the depth & quality of signals?
Very nice and well done thanks for sharing :) ATB
Thanks a whole bunch! 🤠
I love my Vanquish 440.
Great video and thanks for sharing....
Can you hit 1-2 key points on Pro & Cons on all 3 units that you have noticed, please & thank you?
I'm new and thinking on one of these and/ or a Fisher 22
Great Video.. have the Vanquish and the Simplex and love them both. The Vanquish is a sniper in clean ground. I do not ground balance the Simplex unless its giving me fits. Would like to see this with the SP24 coil as thats the one I use especially in parks, my guess would be more stable vdi with the smaller coil.
I'm with you there, I usually run the simplex with no ground balance too. Might have to pull out the SP24 and do some testing cause I also use that coil in most cases!
The signal sounds shorter on the vanquish in coin mode because the recovery speed is faster in this mode. Its normal. In relic mode the signals are longer because the recovery speed is slower.
Regards
Anderas
That makes sense, thanks for the information! 🙏
I think for me at least the simplex appeals to me because of it's 10' waterproof rating. I don't plan on scuba diving with a detector but I do want to snorkel with one.
Simplex is an awesome machine and hard to beat for the price, it has some flaws but overall really solid!! Nokta is coming out with a new machine similar to the simplex soon but a bit better I am very interested in giving it a go also, waterproof is GREAT to have.
Great video i am buying the vanquish 440 next week i cant wait to try it out. It seems like a great bang for the buck. Cheers
I'd like to see vanquish 540 vs nox 600 please in your test garden brother 👊
I'd like to see a compadre added into the mix haha no better bang for buck when it comes to small gold.
Great Job! I like how solid the Vanquish hits and gives a Solid not bouncy ID.. The overall balance of the Simplex makes it my first Grab as well.. Apex..Lol im still on the fence. Its a cute girl i like to keep around but of i wasnt making TH-cam content... my 1-2 would be Equinox/ Simplex... 4 detectors are nice but nobody needs more then 2 solid trust worthy machines for Park hunting
Every time I test the vanquish it surprises me... it seems to do really well need to get out there and use it more. I like the coil size... I guess they came out with a similar style coil for the equinox one sized close to the SP24 for the simplex... if the dang thing wasn't so expensive I would definitely try it
@@TreasureOutdoors I did a new EMI comparison with all 4 of my Detectors and right on camera i was SHOCKED at full sensitivity the Vanquish out performed ALL the other machines and took 1st place by a long shot.. I dont give Vanquish much love mainly because analytics show all the interest and views are double for the Apex and Simplex..
GREAT TEST THANKS
CAN YOU DO A TEST WITH SPARK METAL DEDECTOR
What do you think of a Garrett 250 CSI
Yeah I’m up I’ll take my vanquish for forwarding any day over Symplex not a ledge and looks looks like it might be an impressive impressive machine if it does everything they say it does it probably be a good machine and I’d probably invest my money in in in a legend but if it does everything it’s supposed to but I invested my money in a Symplex I’ll get Francisco them and I’ve swung there and I’ve swung by 440 and I’m used to my 440 Mike was a lot better and I found my stuff with my bank which people find decent stuff for the Symplex to but I’ll keep my 440 over the two and I got an equinox 602 that’s my favorite machine
This helped me a lot I’m wanting to upgrade think I’ll be going with the mine lab 540. It just seemed to hit a little harder than the other thanks for the video
I like the vanquish for the time I've had it I have the equinox but still find myself using the vanquish quite a bit! 👍 Wish you luck out there with it!
I have 540 highly Recommended much better than Garrett especially on the Beach
Menurut anda mana yang lebih bagus dari ke tiga nya?
The Apex VDI is all over the place, as other reviews have said as well. Disappointed that the latest update didn't help that. I'm probably going to sell it. Minelab wins for discrimination/stability/sensitivity, though I prefer ease of use and the 0-99 range coming from a Garrett. I've owned an ACE 200 (very first machine and found gold/tons of clad with it), Equinox 600, and the APEX. The Simplex looks very good and would like to give it a try. I've had a lot of issues with multifrequency in city parks. So much chatter, you couldn't even hunt with it due to EMI. Sometimes single frequency is best. I've found more in single than multi, but that's in city. I bet that multi would be better in an open field or beach. Good test between the three machines.
You are on point with this comment. My first "real" detector was also the garrett ace 200 and I found my first gold with that little guy! I have mixed feelings about that apex that is for sure... The simplex on the other hand I feel absolutely comfortable saying I paid 250 bucks for that thing and sometimes I wonder if I should get a second one 😂 Simplex gets weak when it gets into saltwater / wet sand but in parks I still really enjoy using it especially with the 9.5" x 5" SP24 coil.
What do you hunt in parks with the vanquish? I have the 440 and usually search in parks in coin mode. Should I be searching in jewelry mode instead?
Jewelry mode
I'll be buying a V440 next payday, following your videos and results. My Simplex is a fab machine but I really want to have a MF machine. Simplex today told me there was a nice target beside a ring pull at about 3 inches. It was right, gold ring baby! HH.
hallo...vanquish 540 garret apex o simplex?🤔
I could buy one for $100 do you think it's worth it I used one but hardly used
mantap bang saya punya vanquish 440👍👍👍
I have a video come in for you for the VDI promise.
Hello, great videos! So I've been watching a lot of your videos lately and came across this one, which really caught my interest. So, I am ready to purchase my first metal detector, and this video has two of the ones I've narrowed it down to. The Minelab Vanquish 440, and the Nokta Macro Simplex. You mentioned that the Vanquish was better for the beach, and you liked the Simplex for parks. So my question is, if you were to own just one of those two to do all types of detecting, seeing that they are both around the same price point, which would you own. I kinda have the one in mind, and I just wanted an honest opinion to see if I'm on the right track, or I may be off base. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and videos. Keep up the great work, and have a great day.
I would go with the Nokta Macro Simplex
Definitely the Vanquish . Do yourself a solid and get yourself a 540 pro pack . Never look back .
Vanquish without a doubt, but don't get the control box wet, personally I've been metal detecting for 20 years, and I never detect where I would get the control box wet!
I am not an Apex man myself the Symplex I like the Symplex but I actually like the vanquish 440 over the Symplex that’s the first detector I had was at Michael’s for 40 and I have it right now and it’s not a hell of a job you know it’s solid it’s because it’s multi frequency the Symplex has its pros and cons and it’s a good detector don’t get me wrong but Car the vanquish I’d like to see more videos on you doing test with the vanquish on the beach and in the works you don’t see as many test with the 440 every everybody wants to testify 40 and Annette and exit 340 and the 440 don’t get much there isn’t that many videos out here on him it’s always the 540 to 540 I like my 440 I think it does a good job but like I said I’d like to seeVanquish for 40 more videos
I wonder what 22 karat shows up on the vanquish and 18k?
I think hard to say for sure, it would depend on the size shape and weight for sure... it can probably be all over the place! So many different types of gold jewelry from earrings to necklace bracelets rings... grills? gold teeth? haha all kinds of gold! I have been learning gold can just read up almost anywhere on the VDI depending on the size / shape / karat it is
Great review. Only issue is you’re making my decision for my first detector hard on me! I was pretty locked into the Simplex (all the features) but now i am thinking the vanquish 440. Seems a bit more simple. I’ll be detecting in fields, woods, brackish water beaches (low salinity) and on occasion a saltwater beach. I Was thinking when I go camping I could jump in some rivers but can’t do that with the 440. Which one would you recommend for a total beginner?
Simplex
I had same question....bought both....I use the simplex...wife got the other lol...both work well
@@jerodjmoore why do you prefer the simplex?
@@kylecogar3867 honestly can't go wrong with either...I just think it clicked for me...super easy to use when you get used to it...a little better (to me at least) for fine tuning and customizing for my hunts. And ergonomics....super comfy in my hand and to carry around and use a long time. Wife didn't care either way as both work well. I didn't quite get the discrepancies between frequencies when I tested them out in the yard or used them in the field...
I would never take the Simplex to a saltwater beach if a Vanquish was sitting there!!!
Man I really like that vanquish 440, but I also like the price of the simplex better. Plus the simplex has a light up display. Such a hard choice. And the ace apex cost to much imo.
I agree the Apex price is just a little too high. Simplex is a great choice, you get so much for your money with that thing and it's a tank.. find that nice chunky gold ring then buy you a vanquish too! lol
@@TreasureOutdoors yeah I’ll make my choice soon. Waiting for the simplex to come back in stock. Love your vids bro! Keep up the good work!
Simplex is not that great on the wet salt beach, chatty and annoying!
Good day sir watching from the Philippines, thanks for your videos sir Im your new subscribe. I Just want to know that if the Simplex can detect 5 meter deep in large target? Because here in the Philippines there a store that tilling us that simplex ca detec 5meter deep in the large target thanks for the answer because I have Simplex plus..
If its a buried destroyer, it might detect it at 5m.
@@juslitor thanks 👍
Never went that deep but like he said... it might if it's a big enough object! 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors thanks
A $250-300 machine against $400-500 machines. It did alright I think. ( price rounded without options )
Probably get a tie between the vanquish in the Symplex in my opinion I don’t own a Symplex I’m going to buy one and I’ve used my friends and I’ve seen all the videos on the Symplex but I’d like to see more videos on the vanquish only ones out there mainly is on the 540 I want to see videos on the 440 and the 340 to me I think the 440 is a good good metal detector you know for the price should be in multi frequency probably if I owned a Symplex I would probably be hard to say which one I pick up first the vanquish or the Symplex they’re pretty much tied in my in my book stuff for the lake which is multi frequency so it it it be it’s kind of a hard decision between them to which one I pick up firstBut I canDefinitely not an Apex me and I can tell you that I love mine lab and I like the Symplex also but that’s my two I got an equinox 600 that’s my that’s my number one detector and the vehicles for 40 because that’s all I have I will be buying a Symplex when I get a good deal on one just so I got all three of them and I’ll switch back-and-forth but I’d say I rate my 440 pretty high to top all three of them might see the equinox number one and it’s a tie between the Symplex on the 440 language
simplex 💩
Tie?? Vanquish smacks it with solid id, Simplex beeps sometimes and never with the same numbers. Definitely NOT a tie. Vanquish SMOKED THEM BOTH.
Hello..., * Nokta Makro Simplex..., (NOT) impressed ! ! * Fairly impressed with Minelab Vanquish 440 ! ! * I am impressed with the Garrett Ace Apex with multiple frequencies' (MF) and wide range of metal detecting.. * Excellent video and very informative, and thank you for sharing ! ! Your friend always.., Michael S O'Brien in historic Uptown Butte, Montana.. * P.S.: Once again, Excellent video and thank you for sharing.. Mike :)
Vanquish took that for sure
Vanquish 440 is the best !
Which one is the best?
Vanquish
Mine lab win the test but the one that gets out side more will find the most gold
Qual o melhor dos três?
vanquish
The ground balance failed I find it hard to believe that soil had it go up from 90 and that was the right move do a test in beach mode zero ground balance
Might have to get out there and try again, you may be right about the GB!
The Vanquish 440 did the best but I would take the Simplex just for the fact that it's a hundred percent waterproof
Simplex is great for fresh water but not so good around the wet salt beach!
Vanquish kicked ass!
I agree! Always surprised with the performance on that little guy 👍
Apex or Simplex can't match the Vanquish!
Так какой лучше?... так нихрена и не понял
Try all metal on the vanquish -
440 power
Unfair comparison vanquish 540 would be fair same price range as other two
Vanquish by a mile . I luv my 540 .
On my way to South Carolina and I'm picking up the Vanquish 540 when I get there along with the RNB battery pack, don't think I need much better then that for the beach!! RNB gives thirty hours of battery life, gotta love that!!!
I THINK THE SIMPLEX BETTER THAN OTHERS DETECTOR? BECAUSE IS A WATER PROOF "💖
Simplex has treated me well and still going strong to this day!
Vanquish kicked a$$. For the price you get a great machine. The only draw back is that it’s not waterproof !!!
Simplex
But one thing! Only simplex can work underwater!
Absolutely! Simplex has some awesome features that the others lack! 👍
Not great in salt water because it's just a single frequency machine!
Targets separation its not everything its well on the rubbish field you need a dig in or you loose lots of stuff
14 Signal gold ring ?????? 😭then you always have to dig up all target brackets hmmm Vanquis 540
Gold and pulltabs ALWAYS in the same range on ALL DETECTORS. If you aint digging foil and tabs, you are missing gold. PERIOD
You are leaning toward simplex you have spent half video on simplex.
No more test can you talk too much and ramble on too much man you’re a good dude no nothing against you personally suffer did you write on a little too much
Ok Karen
The Vanquish and Apex (like all Garrett models) have a very noticeable delay in processing speed making it difficult to pinpoint objects, making the Simplex a strong contender at any price.
The only thing you proved is anyone with a detector who does not know what he is doing is a fool (and having less VDI range has nothing to do with "a more solid i.d.": you actually have less because the TID is compressed and more targets are falling closer together.)
gee? let me guess who your sponsor is??/lol
Did you guess? Because I have none 😂
test is not good. the coils are not the same size
All stock coils? I bought the Reaper coil for my Apex and it seems to be getting better, more stable numbers. I’m still learning the machine, but knowing what I know now I would have probably got the 440 instead. Oh well…
Stock coils for each machine is what Most will be using, and what EVERYONE just buying those machines will be using.
You've Proven that you don't need to spend ALOT of money on Detectors...Good job
Sometimes the affordable choice does the job well!
