Metal Detecting is a good way of chilling out, its a good bit of therapy, fresh air, long walks. Its also a bit like those unboxing videos you see on youtube because even though you have an idea of what's buried below your feel you're never really sure. I love watching people such as Aquachigger, NuggetNoggin, Dr Tones, Addictedtobleeps, Si Finds, DALLMYD and Digger Dawn. I've been Detecting with Deep Digger Dan during his digging the coast 365, that was fun. I used his XP Deus... Very light. I started out using the Garrett Ace 250 and then added a Nel Tornado coil. After that I started using a Nokta Makro Kruzer and some how managed to find so much more on land I thought had been detected to death. Silver coins, WWII badges and bullets and down the beach I've even found GOLD and Silver Rings. In my latest video I've finally found a Roman Coin and A Saxon Strap End.

@@SouthCoastDetecting thanx m8
There is only one that I would choose and that is the Nokta Makro Simplex. Its waterproof to 10 feet, cost is 120 less, has built in rechargeable batteries, and a light for detecting at low light levels.
Simplex is 250 usd though?
and I would choose only vanquish, the built-in battery of the simlex is by the way a big minus.
Vanquish also has backlight
@@Bandit1978 simplex has a light so u can see the ground too
Waterproof but can't handle wet sand.
Apart from the water proofing, i brought the nokta makro because on first sight the vanquish looks like a 90's kids video console 😅 (sorry)
I do like the tone sounds of the vanquish. Wireless headphones are awesome! Make sure the usb plug is the right voltage (as they dont come with one now)
Interesting video bud 👍

For me it would be the Vanquish. I prefer the tones and would always keep a cover on it anyway so not being water proof doesn't really bother me. If you are going to sell yours Arron then you know who to contact! 😁 Another great video. I always look forward to the next one 👍
Bit late on this one but Simplex for me just for the fact it’s waterproof and for the price just a better machine. I love my Nox 800 but don’t like the look of the red Garrett lookalike Vanquish. To be honest I think another reason is that the Simplex is just a joy to use, don’t ask me why but there’s just something about a simple turn on and go less fussy machine that just puts a smile on your face when using it. Great unbiased fair review. Hard to believe on your roundup that the Simplex is the cheaper machine.
Mmmm... makes me wonder!
Thanks... I learned plenty - but the confusion still rules! 😁😁 In my mind, that is!!
Both great machines for the price. But the Simplex is fully Waterproof, vibration mode, led flashlight, and the wireless Headset option which i have. Great video 👌😍
Awesome video.....thank you. I have a nox800 and just bought the Simplex+ as my secondary. Totally agree on the build quality.
Nice vid, I own the simplex plus and the equinox.800 . I am a beach and water guy.
To be honest with you the simplex is a good detector for the money. But it does not even come close to the equinox 800.. I would buy the Vanquish! It's mutli frequency!
That's the very reason I chose the Vanquish!
I got the Simplex purely because it's very good for the price and it's waterproof and light. I suffer with a nasty genetic bone problem that causes me a lot of pain and weight is everything. I used to lift safes out of the floor just to give you perspective.
great video ...
next comparison
please
1. air test first before ground depth test
2. dont use Full Sensitivity during VIDEO ground test
3. can you please test on rwal gold 916 or 999 😅
thankyou
very good video

Appreciate the good and honest comparison between the to machines. One suggestion, do a 90% swing over the target for a check for consistency of the signal.
These were the two machines I was deciding on when buying my first detector. So I bought the simplex and then the coil shorted out on my third session out. So I bought the Vanquish 540 to hold me over until the coil came in. After using both of the machines quite a bit since then I have to tell you the Simplex is the better machine for me and I sold my Vanquish. The tones on the Simplex are so much sharper stronger and give you much more information on the target than the generic sounding Vanquish tones in my opinion. It also does better in the Trashy Parks we have here with iron then the Vanquish does, and on the beach be waterproof makes it a no-brainer. The Simplex is frankly a coin finding machine. Just my two cents...
Bom dia .
Em termos de profundidade o vanqhich 540 perde pro simplex .?
Testou eles com objetos grandes.?
What about gold, my friend?
I like the fact that it does pick up your iron coin . { Vanquish ) in my country some of my coins are made out of full iron, so I would not want to discriminate my iron out. I like that it doesn`t have the built in battery which means I should be able to use my own rechargeable double AA batterys to power it up. Would like to know how well would it work on salt water beaches at low tide. The companys are makeing a big mistake by makeing detectors with built in batterys, if they made them to operate on doulble AA batterys I would think a lot more of us would want to buy them, & the dealers would sell more detectors. I have seen some very good detectors i would have loved to buy, but there is no way i want a built in battery operated detector.
Just wish it was possible to change the tones on the Simplex (I have one) to something a bit less harsh.
Unbiased video mate. I don’t do beaches myself. I have to do a report on my Rutus 71 soon. I’ll have to ask in the Rutus group what settings for the beach. Simplex is impressing a lot of happy users. Well done.
Heard good things about the Rutus!
Thanks for this excellent comparison between these two machines. Great video and for all the effort for making this test.
Vanquish 440 would have been a fairer test. Bear in mind the 440 only has a 10" coil but is probably the direct rival to the Simplex price wise.
I have both.. But.. Vanquish 540 is my favourite..
Vanquish has mulitfrequence, so the choose is easy for me as a Nox 800 owner.
Plus the Vanquish has detector better sounds.
Just got my Simplex+ on Thursday and going out on a dig on Sunday can’t wait 😊
Thanks for the video Aron. It would be interesting to see what both can do in the wet sand on the waters edge.
Thanks for the info. I think the Simplex will suit my beginners needs best. Near home I will be doing some beach and river, as well as a lot of fields and woodland. On holidays will be a lot of beach and water detecting.
I wouldn't go as far as saying "The only thing sets the simplex apart from the vanquish is just waterproof" the firmware is upgradable the minelab is not.
You do such a fine job on the comparison videos, detailed information, on site demonstrations, just brilliant, what no one seems to mention though is "While your detecting with the Vanquish, how do we know people are not thinking you tore out a stop sign and swinging it? J/K"
Like you I got them both and just can't wait to get out, I tried the simplex a couple of times and the real only beef I had or mini gripe is I wish the lower shaft was just a bit longer say four inches, I mean its plenty long now but extended out full it becomes a bit wobbly and having more of the shaft in makes it more stationary.
If you have a chance to hunt an area that has terrible emi that you have hunted before and had problems with other machines, try the simplex, that machine did so good in places I had major problems with higher end models, that really surprised me.
Thanks for the show and advice, well taken.
Diggin Diggen It the minelab is upgradable,you can update it
@@melappleyard2223 Tks Mel I had no idea the firmware could be updated on the Vanquish.
Yes if you take the battery cover off,there’s a USB port at the top of the battery compartment
Love the vid too mate
I'm happy with my simplex. Not used it on the beach yet, but going to do so in the next couple of days as I'm on holiday in scotland currently and have about it with me. The vanquish looks ok, but I'm not keen on the colour and shape, simply not my taste. Great vid arron, good comparison too.
Thanks.
Can you share the result after hunting on tbe beach here...glad to wait your result here hehehe
As a simplex user I would stick with what I have but the minelab is also a great machine great video 👍🏻👍🏻
Even though you're on the beach, switching modes on the simplex would have KILLED the vanquish. Great video. Thanks for being unbiased, as I own minelab products and Nokta as well.
Good work mate ...... bugger that minelab bit over priced
I have both and use both. I have the Equinox 800 as my main machine, but these both have their place as well and for a beginner absolutely cant be beat, while still being very useful to an experienced user. I love them both!
I agree top 3 machines for sure iv used menny but own 440 ,540 and simplex too all have their place 😁
I'm sticking with the Simplex+
I have it and I love it!!
I know the Simplex can find the tiniest pieces of metal that I can't see.
I must use my pinpointer to find it.
These lil tiny pieces can be 10 inches down.
Thank you for doing the test.
Shows all my research payed off for choosing the best machine for me. I will be going to our many Beaches, and waterways with my Simple+.
HH
Hey, you found anything nice with the simplex yet? got one ordered.
@@EvilObject
I have only detected in my yard, a Hay field & today a City Park.
I have found Jewelry, coins, a wheatie, and some trash lol.
I've also found tractor parts.
I love my Simplex+.
I think you will be happy you ordered yourself one.
Good Luck & HH
Oh with the Simplex I use for Doc's pinpointer!! Can't use the Garrett Carrott... I turn my frequency to F1.
For Doc's isn't expensive & is fully waterproof.
Susan Lee wow that's great, really promising
In the instructions it says if you have trouble ground balancing your simplex +.in wet sand after ground balancing go to ground balance setting and set the ground value to 0.00 in the wet sand.
A 400 dollar mine lab against a 300 dollar nokta.
Good honest vid there Arron simplex for me down to specs how many times do we get caught out in the rain 🌧 in the U.K. and the battery life is superb mine only uses 2 bars on a full days dig 👍
I use a vanquish 440 all over South Wales beaches in reliable jewellery mode full sensitivity on dry sand minus 2 notches on wet, very reliable, I use RNB custom 30hour battery very good, the rain cover for me works well in heavy rain never had a problem yet😬,love to See this verse the XP ORX on wet sand now that would be a great video, well done interesting video👍
Hi, I am undecided whether to go for the 440 or 540. I believe the 440 has a 10 inch coil and the 540 a 12 inch. I only do beaches and would like to know what size of coil you would recommend. A reply would be most appreciated.
@@billbannochie457 540 pro has 8 inch and 12 inch coil at moment LP metal detectors are offering a free 35 minelab pinpointer great deal 440 got 10 inch coil I prefer for beach and plenty of depth for me with less weight but it suits my beach yours might need more depth sand changes everyday from tides so for me 10s perfect
@@shotokanman1 really appreciate your feedback, I will go for the 440 I think.
@@billbannochie457 great machine I was on land and in a river (the controls are not waterproof but coil and shaft is)with it today you won't beat it on the beach for the money so smooth great value all the best brother
@@shotokanman1
I have the AT Pro but it's not great on wet sand so I reckon the multi frequency is the way to go. The beach I go to has a fair bit of wet black sand so hoping the Vanquish will be able to handle it. Thanks again for your replies, most helpful.
A lot of people are misrepresenting the price difference. With ease, you can get a 540 Pro Pack for $400 USD shipped. Checking about 10 dealers the cheapest quote I got on the Simplex with Wireless Headphones was $320 shipped. $80 difference gets you the useful 8" coil and Multi-IQ, and a machine that works the iron and trash a lot better than the SImplex. The only deep Simplex mode does terrible in the trash as far as recovery speed, Park mode loses a ton of depth. The Vanquish outshines it in most any dirt.
Not in the UK you can't lol 😂
Looking for my first machine. Am beginning to like the Nokta Simplex, mainly as I plan to do most of my detecting on various beaches on the south coast and in Cornwall. I also like the fact that it's fully waterproof and it's great value for money. My little lad also wants a machine now.
Is it time to realize minelab is awesome,but far over priced😓
Thanks for the comparison video......I would choose the Vanquish for use here in New York,USA
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for that i would go for the simplex because its full waterproof and cheaper but they are both good deep target finding machines ,i use a Nox now and its amazing
I've got the Simplex gunna hit the beach in the summer very good video learnt something there cheers Arron top man 👍🏼👍🏼
Arron great video mate, Both machines preformed very well cant argue with that but Simplex would win for me as its the fully waterproof one and like you say the vanquish just a little bit garrett esk. Great review mate nothing really between them in working mode ATB ... Dave
Nicely done comparison, not showing any bias whatsoever. Your closing comments are also unbiased, pointing out the strength as well as deficiency of each machine. I own both the 600 & 800 Equinox, and if buying a backup I would go with the Simplex+ with wireless headphones. IMO, Minelab dropped the ball on this, and I believe that they could have put a rechargeable battery and waterproofed the unit. I’m not sure what they were thinking, but those two features are a game changer for me. The Vanquish took the latest multi frequency technology and put it in an archaic AA battery box that you can’t get wet...very bad move, IMO.
But hey...I’m only the guy with disposable income looking for the best features my money can buy. I think this will bite them in the backside, as only rabid Minelab fan boys will choose Vanquish over Simplex is they are really doing their homework. It’s a pretty easy decision for me. Thanks for a great comparison video.
I'm not sure I totally agree. Although I bought the Simplex over the Vanquish because of it being waterproof and because it was already available, I definitely had my reservations about the rechargeable battery. The bottom line is that rechargeable batteries have a life of about 3-4 years. In another 3 years, we are going to be inundated with complaints from Simplex users yelling about how expensive it was to replace their rechargeable batteries after they died. For most of us, metal detectors are not like cell phones. When your cell phone battery dies, you are usually ready for a new phone anyway. When the battery dies on your metal detector, you will likely want to keep that detector (at least for a spare). Given that the Vanquish can also use standard rechargeable AA batteries, there is very little benefit to having an internal rechargeable battery that is not user serviceable. So given the choice, I'd rather have a detector that takes user supplied rechargeable batteries of the AA type. HOWEVER... there is a big issue when it comes to serviceable batteries and making something waterproof. It is definitely easier to waterproof a machine that uses a non-user serviceable battery. That's just the way it is. As a side note, I recently got back into detecting after being away for 6 years. I threw a 9V battery into my old Tesoro detector and it started right up with no issues. That is not something you will be able to do with a Simplex or any other metal detector with an internal non-user serviceable rechargeable battery.
@@mtslyh That is the pros and cons for what unit choice to pick from. You get this but, not that or not that but, get this! I chose Vanquish because it having multi frequency!.......I hunt primarily salt beaches. I would have picked Simplex otherwise! It's a good value for what it offers!
If your reason is that a rechargeable battery won't last thru 6 years of not being used, that is a lame argument.
For those who actually use their detectors, rechargeable batteries are a lot cheaper to use over time. And most are easily replaced if they go bad from 6 years of not being used.
@@halfstep67 You appear to have completely missed my point. You do realize that they make rechargeable AA batteries right? In fact, the Vanquish 540 comes with rechargeable batteries and a charger. So it is not a question of the cost of rechargeable vs alkaline batteries. It is a question of user-replaceable vs sending it to a dealer to have the battery changed should something go wrong. All I'm saying is that if all else was equal (and in this case all else is NOT equal) I would pick a detector where I can change the rechargeable batteries myself rather than having to send it in to a repair shop to change a battery. After all, batteries go bad all the time. LiPo batteries have lots of problems with heat, cold, and not caring for them correctly. And of course, any built in battery needs to have a battery charge connector which also tends to go bad with the constant plugging in and out. What happens when your special Simplex battery cable port goes bad? What is that going to cost to have fixed? And in case you still missed it... I bought the Simplex anyway because "not all else was equal". I simply don't think a built in non-user replaceable battery is a good thing. I understand why it is potentially a necessity on a waterproof machine (Garret has struggled with this), but it is a necessary evil in my book.
The Minelab equinox's battery can be replaced by the user and is not hard to do. The charging port is magnetic and seems to be reliable but the contacts need to be cared for. The CTX 3030 has a battery that is removable and if precautions are not followed, water can get in and damage the electronics. I have both the CTX 3030 and equinox 800 and I can see advantages to both battery systems. I can leave the CTX in the truck and just remove the battery. This makes it nice. I don't have to lug the detector back and forth from the truck to the house. But I also like the carefree battery on the equinox and don't have to worry as much about leaks. But I have to lug it back and forth from the truck to the house.
I like most guys have a lot of battery powered tools. I have some Bosch 18v tools with a wireless charger. I just sit the battery on the charger and it charges the battery. Some smart phones have wireless charging capabilities as well. I believe that wireless charging would be the best system for the detector. It would eliminate the charging port and reduce any leaking possibilities. I am surprised it hasn't been done yet.
Greatest channel 👍👍👍
keep going bro , we watch your amazing videos from jordan middle east , ancient roman civilization were here in jordan and alot of ppl found amazing roman treasures , may i ask you bro , the depth of target depending by the amount of gold or coin , for example the depth between jar of coin and one coin has different depths right ?! Sorry for the English, i hope you understand me
Thanks 🌷
The string is such a good idea!!
Not going to mention Multi IQ when comparing prices?
If you put the Vanquish into a better mode for depth, you should have done the same for the Simplex. Just ground balance in beach mode and switch to field mode.
It has beach mode, the test was done on a beach, if a newbie were to buy this they would instinctively be running it in beach mode. So this is why the test was done in beach mode.
Hey SCD, if a newbie is dumb enough to only use beach mode on the simplex wouldnt said newbie be so dumb as to not use a vanquish at the beach because it does not have a beach mode?
The simplex looks like nokta makro was highly inspired by the minelab equinox😅✌
Now they have a very good machine for a unrivaled price. This machine is really impressive.
I cant understand why minelab wants to compete with garretts ace model series?! Minelab should do detektors in the same style like the equinox, sure even more simple but that way.
Now it's doing nokta makro instead of minelab🤷🏻♂️😅✌
I have the equinox 800 😉
Great review of 2 great machines arron mate. Would of liked to have see you take them both to 14 inches 🤔. Take care buddy 👍
I have the simplex and love it besides the pin pointer interference. I also bought the vanquish 340 for my son when he gets old enough to use it. lol. I can also use it for a friend. Thanks for the upload.
Change the frequency on the Simplex, it worked for my carrott!
Field mode is deepest on the Simplex!
yes it is, I know this. But as it has a beach mode I wanted to see how good the beach mode was on the beach and it worked well. When I hunt with it I use field mode on the beach after a beach mode ground balance.
@@SouthCoastDetecting I know, it is just that you tweaked the other detector to relic mode as it was deeper (one one of the comparison depths) Perhaps field mode would have chattered, perhaps not...
Nice job! I will surely check out the Simplex now. less expensive seems a better choice on this.
Of the two machines the simplex is less expensive at least in the U.S. so for me the Simplex would get the nod although I admit I like the tones on the vanquish better.
Fantastic video mate and very well done, for me it has to be Simplex all day long I really don't like the look of the Vanquish and I wouldn't pay that much for it.
But you flipped the Vanquish into a deeper program out of beach to help the Vanquish on the deeper targets. What would the Simplex do had it been flipped to a deeper program
Very fair and balanced video Arron. Always going to be difficult with these two particular machines as there are some pretty entrenched fans in both camps. I like them both and own both. As you know though I do prefer the Vanquish ;) You can't go wrong with either though. Simplex has a superb spec for the money and for a single frequency machine does well on the beach. I will be sticking with Minelab though.
I was deciding between these two too, but in another test simplex was worse than VAN 540 and VAN 540 have 3 years guarantee, simplex only 2 in my country but yeah price difference is relative big in Czech 260 VS 380 £ but set VAN 540 including Minelab PRO-FIND 20 too per 85£ then the price is practically the same and that's maybe a reason why is their usefulness practically identical :) greetings form CZ
I have a simplex and I love it because it has different tones when you switch modes also hits very deep targets 👌🏽. 🤓
Very good comparison! I was leaning towards a vanquish for my son because the simplex has a lot of interference with a pinpointer but now I’m not so sure! I have a Nox 800 and would like to hunt in water so my son would need the simplex for that!! Thanks for the info! HH🎧⛏
Depending on the pinpointer, you could possibly change frequency so as to not interfere with the machine. My F-Pulse can do this handily.
Do buy the Simplex. You will be astonished of the build quality this has! With a lot of other settings, the Simplex also has 3 different frequency choices to eliminate the pin pointer chit-chat. Good luck! Also, the battery lasts a long time.
The simplex is way too noisy on wet sand compared to the vanquish and the vanquish is multi IQ so I think I'm going with that. Yes it's not fully waterproof but I'd rather have more accuracy than with that noisy ass simplex.
Great video and vanquish all the way for me although simplex is good for its price
Too be honest, they are two many metal detectors no days ,best option is get one you like ,don't let any one change your mind,if it don't do what you like ,get a upgrade,
We got the simplex and will use it soon..
Simplex without a doubt. I need a waterproof detector. As a matter of fact I ordered mine yesterday. Should have it by the 22nd of April.
Great video mate. If I buy a backup I'll be getting a vanquish 👌 both machines look awesome though
Hi Arron , a very interesting comparison pretty much well matched i would say it's just down to how much you want to pay , enjoyed it mate nice one ATB GL & HH Rob .
NS has listened to the hobbyists...and did not rush it to the market half ass...sales have been stupendous and believe White's..Garretts..will rethink their pricing and value seriously...have watched many a comparison and all have declared NS the better buy...
You need to test the vanquish in Jewelry mode or coin mode not relic mode relic mode is for big item s Jewelry mode will go down way deeper then that other detector I dug up about 8 $2 coin at 80 Center meters on the beach it was so deep down I could hardly dig the hole that was with the v12 coil and full rechargeable mine lab batteries
I have read most of the comments. So I would like to hear from you. Which one do you prefer handling all day?. Also is the vanquished upgradable to Internet no one else has mentioned this I know the simplex is. Possible software corrections in the future and having Bluetooth headset definitely a plus. Do not own either of them but doing my research on the simplex what is your take.
The Vanquish has a computer connection inside the battery compartment for upgrade downloads.
I think you forgot to mention the simples loves hot rocks,the vanquish doesn’t pick up on hot rocks👍
I would like to know what the readings are when you perform test. I am a newbie and readings are helpful for us. Thanks for the great videos .
Metal detectors are hard to judge. If you ask 10 people, you'll probably get 10 different answers.
Personally I like the vanquish 540 better. Less false signals at the beach and high mineral ground. Spending half a day digging for 0 is not my idea of a good day.
The vanquish isn't waterproof but so far I haven't had to go swimming to get stuff. I do plenty of digging on the sand
id say you seem to get a lot more for the money with the simplex, not much between them on targets they hit, i know simplex didnt hit the 2p as hard as the vanquish but thats because you had the sens 2 notches down... i recon the vanquish with multi freq may cope a little better in tricky mineralised sand but both seem to perform well... good tests mate... would of been interesting to of kept going deeper until one machine never hit the target to see which one had better overall depth...
Yeah I noticed afterwards that I’d hit the power down on the 2p but it still hit it!! Had to quit when I did as more rain was coming my way...thanks for dropping by Sid 👍
@@SouthCoastDetecting have you got beaches that are badly mineralised... be interesting to see how the simplex copes being a single freq machine... show the gains of the vanquish then... if any (y)
Yeah these beaches are pretty shocking
I'm sorry but, the Simplex is a single frequency machine and wouldn't cut it on my beaches without backing off sensitivity!....It'll be just like the rest of the single frequency brands on the salt wet sand!.....Salt mode on Simplex?.....What and how is that going to hang against multi-frequency units at the beach!.....I'm not bashing the Simplex it's just that many of the posting here is suggesting it's the answer to metal detecting!
The nokta has a built-in battery which is a. Big negative for me what happened if the nokta runs out of juice in the middle of nowhere???
I like the tones on the Minelab a little more, but I would choose the Simplex for the waterproofing
I know for sure which one I’m buying now. Thanks👍
Great video, thanks! I wonder though what would have happened in the salt wet part close to the water?
Jacco de Weger I could return....
@@SouthCoastDetecting Do!!! Proper wet sand comparison - would be great!
Vanquish for me because I primarily hunt salt water beaches. The Simplex will chatter to much at my beaches. The multi frequency has that edge!........Simplex looks to be a good machine for the money though!...I think if there is only one complaint for me about the Simplex would be it's tones...Don't care for it but, that's my opinion!
This is my exact opinion. I'm surprised at so many fans of the simplex I know it's cheaper and waterproof but the chatter and tones are awful imo. I think I'm gonna pay the extra cash for more ear accuracy.
Gr8 informative video Aaron. Ty for your time and effort. My only question is can i use my Garrett wired headphones with the dongle on the simplex?
Yes via the headphone dongle that comes with cheaper package, it’s 1/4” same as Garrett
@@SouthCoastDetecting Ty sir . can't wait to get the new simplex !
congratulations for the video. a question? better on the beach and in water than nokta or vanquish? thanks
I'm not sure which one to buy
Hello,
Sorry for my english but I'm french. For my first détector, on the normandy's beach, the best is the simplex or vanquish 440. tanks. good videos.
That intro is badass I had to get up and start dancing.
Awesome review Arron mate and both machines did well ...now my thoughts i think the vanquish is a little expensive but is a good bit of kit the simplex has the better screen ..tough one to call ..i do have a question how small does the vanquish fold into i know the simplex folds small 👌👍😀...cool review upload Arron mate next test pasture or plough see how that comes out 👍
Field vid coming soon, they both fold up to the same size
For transporting the vanquish you can collapse it down to 27" if you reverse the handle. Just takes seconds to do.
brilliant test.... but the vanquish was in the deepest mode ..... if the simplex was in the deepest mode it would have hammered the vanquish...
It has beach mode, the test was done on a beach, if a newbie were to buy this they would instinctively be running it in beach mode. So this is why the test was done in beach mode.
Not on the (salt) wet sand!
Sorry SCD.... but if your doing a head to head of 2 detectors then having one on deepest and one not, then it's not fair test .... as it happens the simplex came out top because of aesthetics, price and waterproof capabilitys .... but if they had both been on deepest settings then I feel it would not have been so close on the actual detecting capabilities... that said, it's still an excellent video ... 2 brilliant machines and I thank you for helping me make up my mind on which to buy.... keep up the brilliant work...looking forward to your future vids 👍👍👍
geoff ellison I will return on wet sand BOTH on deepest settings 👍
Great video on the comparison of the two machines they seem very equal . the only thing that will make the difference between the two as you picked up on is build quality and the price tag. my opinion i aint no expert i think both machines do well but the simplex may have the edge just due to quality and price. great vid Keep them coming ATB GL & HH
The simplex can also be updated through a computer. Not mentioned.

Aren't you supposed to noise cancel the Minelab with the coil up in the air pointing straight out ?? That's what the manual says for my Equinox I would think it would be same. ??
Does the Simplex do a better job discriminating trash? Thanks in advance!
How do they both perform in the black sand? That would be awesome to find out.
Should have used field mode on the simplex as its the deepest mode because you used relic mode on the 540 which is its deepest
Great video I have a simplex love to bits
I go for simplex nice price for me.. Regards from malaysia...
Hi would you be able to find a gold nuggets with the Minelab cheers 👍
Dude you should compare Simplex with other machines twice more expensive not cheaper, and you'll see simplex beats them all.
Like the way you test the products. If you can help me would be much appreciated. Bought my wife a tacklife metal detector for her birthday. (MD02) As she has fancied having a go for a few years now. Three levels of detection tried it a few times, but have found that it's pot luck if it beeps so you end up watching the screen all the time. Not great for my wife as she has health issues and needs to use a crutch to help with her balance. Is there any advice you can give us, plus what sort of pin pointer would you recommend. She does the swinging, I do the digging. Thanks.
Get the Go-Find 44 it’s great on land or beach and is very light weight. The Nokta pinpointer with the orange tip is water proof👍
Thanks for your quick reply. And your advice. Keep up the great work. 👍
Just wanted you to know. We've taken your advice and ordered go find44 and the nokta pin pointer. Once again thanks and keep up the good work.
Hi, I have both machines and did that test and the vanquish was way better even with the 10" coil, that is using the nokta in park1 which is deep, find beach mode useless.
How is the built in battery. Does it last well ?
Is this the vanquish 540?
Yes
which machine is best on the wet sand ?? and on hammered ? rgds Lordbaltimore
As long as the simplex can pick up iron that is the machine for me, because in Canada some of our coins are made out of iron & I don t want to tune out iron.
Where i can buy a Simplex please? I live in Ireland

Minelab equinox 800 vs aka mfd signum this two products Best product tell me sir
You didn't try them on the wet sand. Any VLF will perform in those conditions. I have a Vanquish and an XP Deus and ORX also a whites V3i and Tesoro Tejon and a Garrett Sea Hunter. Obviously the Sea Hunter is a purpose made beach and salt water PI detector. The only machine I own that can keep up with the PI on wet (NOT DRY LIKE YOU DEMONSTRATED) is the Vanquish.
Now although very good the Vanquish can not attain the depth of the Garrett, but it spanks any other Vlf I have used on all areas of the beach. Take the Simplex on to the wet sand and try again.
Got the vanquish 540 for AUD $479 inc postage. So around 250 quid
