You are very welcome! I also have a video showing a few different pieces of gold and what they read on the Apex... it can read all over the place! Wish you the best of luck out there!! 👍
Hey TO, nice video. Here’s a tip - tie your target to a string to make it easier to locate in the soil when changing depth or the test is completed. Keep Digging!
This is a good test and would love to see you do one with a silver quarter or dime with the same units and I see how deep each of them can go. Definitely should put the stock coil on a Simplex though to make it fair...
After every video on detectors I’m still in shock of how good the Simplex+ is especially for the price There’s no way I see to justify buying something 3X the price when you look at them side by side. Definitely not 3X the performance over the Simplex+. I’m no pro so maybe I’m missing something but from what I’ve seen the Simplex+ is a beast because everyone is testing these $1,000+ machines against it and it’s undoubtably holding its own
I know this video is from 2 years ago my Garrett ace apex raider detected a big size thin 18k gold ring 4 inch deeper that the pinpointer was and damn what a signal that was on day 1 out with it 😁🙏🏻🎶🎧🇱🇺😎
I am a subscriber...really like your videos. Just thought that the standard coil would take the Simplex deeper. Certainly, I love mine. Must try that gold test comparing the Simplex and my Macro Red Racer. Meanwhile, keep up the good work!
I appreciate it!! That would be a cool test, I've never actually heard of the Red Racer! Just checked out a video on it, looks pretty neat! It seems to be a nokta makro product? so I bet it works pretty good
I live in Brevard County, central Florida, close to the beach. Which out the 3 would you consider to be the Best one out of the 3 overall? I go to the beach often, but would probably be using it on the mainland a little bit more. Maybe a 60/40 difference between uses of it on Mainland/Beach
Great job on the video.. All three of those detectors are damn near neck and neck. the numbers start to degrade into uselessness the smaller and deeper the target. Then its the thing of - will you realistically dig spotty clicks and chirps.. My park finds are realistically 6 inches or less. I'll recover any repeatable signal be it one way or both ways.. intermittent non repeatable clicks and sparks.... i usually walk - good content
Yep.. ain't that the truth.. even if they can hit it a little deeper will it matter if it doesn't produce a good clear tone... always enjoy doing curiosity tests.. vanquish seems to do better when it comes to repeating tones.. I did whip out the simplex big coil this morning and ground balanced to see if it could hit it down there...
Agree with Coin Spader. Give a chance to the Simplex and make it to ground balance. Otherwise I've recently purchased an Equinox 600 and is awesome on the beach, that's the best legal way for detecting here in Spain. But I think that the Simplex does a good job on field or park too.
And I don't know if subtitles were not available by mistake or you forgot it. I mean, I understand English but for Europeans, American English is a bit different. Great video as usual. Hope you to release more stuff!
I did add manual subtitles to one of my videos but I think they auto generate? I noticed there weren't any on this one... maybe it just takes time to process because I like having subtitles too.
The simplex was my first machine. After I updated it, it went to crap in my opinion. I sold it and used my finds money to buy a vanquish 540 and haven't looked back. Since then I've bought a equinox 600 also. Minelab makes superior machines when compared to others in its class. I haven't got a chance to try the Garrett Apex yet, but hope to someday. I love your videos bro, keep up the great content !!!👍😎👍
Minelab is a good company, I love my vanquish 440 even though I got it pre-owned for 185 bucks... (dont tell minelab) lol.. I wanna get out more to the beach with the nox!! I really appreciate the support dude, thanks for stopping in!!
Hey it's cool! I love that thing! I actually modded it myself, it's originally sold as an electric dirtbike (Razor SX500) for kids / teenagers but I learned through youtube how to upgrade them, it went only 14MPH and struggled through trails but I swapped the motor for a 3000w brushless motor ($100 ebay) a BIG 60 volt lithium battery which was the biggest cost (around $350 ebay) and a new speed controller that makes it rip through trails... I made a red one before this that in total only cost about $350 it was 48v so it went a little slower and didnt have as much torque but still fun!! appreciate you stopping by! sorry for rambling! 🤠
@@TreasureOutdoors thanks for the quick response. I'm thinking of getting something like that for my son. Looks fun for sure. Still waiting on a Quest detector review 😆.
I haven't got a answer from my dad about the metal detector but I will in a couple of days and then Saturday is my birthday and so im hoping for some things and i was also wondering if ur gonna post that video that i might be in
I will edit that video soon 👍 I am not sure if I recorded you but I definitely have our conversation! I will have to look through the clips. I didn't find much that day but I will edit it and put it out here in a day or two
@@TreasureOutdoors yeah man sounds good like u said I might not have gotten me but I would like to hear the conversation again my metal detector was stolen I did get messaged back from my dad but getting a job soon so should be able to afford one if u know how much one costs please let me know
That is what I like to hear!! Awesome man! I have been honing in on those low tones lately... have not had gold in a few months.. been focusing more on those low 20s these last two weeks.. I am thinking that is where the majority of common gold falls... really wanna get a gold chain.. ever find one with the simplex or see a video of one being found? Trying to hone in on the potential numbers, the ones I have seen online were ringing around 18 I even saw one that sounded like iron.
@@TreasureOutdoors it was my first gold ever. Thought it was bling as it had diamond chips. Tested it and boom. Chain is tough to get a read on from what I have seen. Fun with Jim has found some but with a NOX and even it barely beeped. I have to say I need to credit you for my 1st gold as your vids and dig low tones is how I found it.
I would say the Vanquish or Ace Apex for the beach they perform better in my opinion. But the simplex is the only completely waterproof machine of the three so if you wanted to take it completely under water you could. The simplex works at the beach but I think you'd have a better time with Vanquish / Apex for beach hunts.
Good question.. I probably should have kept it stock for this test but I thought the SP24 coil was more comparable in size to the others.. I did go out this morning and try with the stock coil plus tried ground balancing on the stock and SP24 and surprisingly it did not make much of a difference... though I have heard in the past that some small coils are actually more sensitive to small objects. These are always just for fun.. could be completely different circumstances in a different soil type though. I think they are all good machines and are able to find shallow small gold especially modern gold at parks and such. 👍
I would have used the Stock 11inch Coil for the Simplex as the other 2 had there Stock coil.. In Theory size of coil gives that depth on a quarter size object.. Other Wise still a great video on a small gold target at max depth for all 3 detectors.. Thanks For sharing
Agreed.. I was just going to mention the Stock coil vs the other 2 using their stock coils for this test.. The SP24 coil is whats on my simplex. I do notice a 2 inch drop in air tests.. but as i mentioned.. my park finds are 6 inches or less.
I got you Dan and I agree... I like to see it all! I went out this morning with stock coil and did a ground balance test on both the small and the stock coil to see if GB would make a difference... appreciate you stopping in and thank you for the input!
@@ohdannyboyjustadiggin I will save you the time.... basically no, no difference for me.. Maybe in some other soil where interference was a problem without GB but my simplex usually runs smooth and I also rarely ever ground balance.
The ground balance - the ground balance!! I'm wondering if the Simplex (maybe with bigger coil) would pick it up if you GB'ed?? Anyway - interesting to see - and beware of those water hyacinth plants... they proliferate and clog systems!!
I got you vosssieeeee! I went out this morning and tested BOTH... with small coil + GB also with big coil both with and without GB.. we will seeee!! simplex still a good machine no matter what!! I bet the multi freq nokta would smack it out... but you just never know! my ducks love those dang things... hard to keep them alive in the pond! Need some more water plants.. trying to make natural filtration.. love nature
@@TreasureOutdoors I'm hoping I can get the multi when it arrives... for now, me and my Simplex are happy together. By the way, I must upload a bit of video I did of reacting to those "thin almost non existent" sounds at the beach - in crevasses... FUN!!
I liked it for 40 and I like the Symplex I’m not an Apex man I’m sorry you know I’ve heard a lot of people don’t really like the Apex after they buy it Joey out here in Vegas detect it does it has his own channel and he doesn’t really care too much for the the the Garrett there he he likes his equinox and he’s got a Symplex he’s got a 440 he really likes is 705 my lab the Xterra he really likes that one a lot I like it too if I can find a good deal on one I had me pick one up I seen one on eBay for like $400 in $20 shipping you know I like to 705 Joey does too and he’s had videos on that one and it looks like it picks up pretty good it’s a good detector
You go pro stock it ain’t doing nothing while we’re doing the sea in through the loop it’s it’s it’s done fell out on you you can’t your cameras not working
I’m definitely no pro but I think the Simplex+ did just as good as the Vanquish and for the money you can’t beat it especially if you think about how the others are 3X the price. I’m definitely not seeing nowhere near enough to justify the price over the Simplex. If I’m wrong tell me how it could be justifiable
Just got the Apex and was looking for a video just like this!! Thank you!!

Hey TO, nice video. Here’s a tip - tie your target to a string to make it easier to locate in the soil when changing depth or the test is completed. Keep Digging!
You should ground balance a single frequency metal detector to get the best performance out of it, good video though, thanks.
I wonder if having it in Relic mode and enabling the lower numbers would hit better on the Vanquish?
This is a good test and would love to see you do one with a silver quarter or dime with the same units and I see how deep each of them can go. Definitely should put the stock coil on a Simplex though to make it fair...
Sounds like a plan! Might give it a go here soon, I always enjoy the curiosities of testing different detectors 🙏

I have the Garrett 400 and the Double D coil ...would pull that at 5,6,7,and I'd trust it to eight inches...good test though..enjoyed it.

You are right... I went out this morning and tested it with GB also with the larger stock coil on the simplex 👍

Did you try the vanquish in all metal mode?
I think that I did try but I might have missed it Robert 👍 vanquish is a strong little machine though! It just surprised me again recently
I hope I have one. For gold hunt here in Phil...
Very demo. I will have one for you on Saturday. !
I am looking forward to it! I've been bugging my brother to let me test his gold chain too!
Why are there no Simplex videos in 2022?
Hey Treasure Outdoors. Where do you get your electric motorcycles? Not relevant to this video but I've been meaning to ask. Thanks

@@TreasureOutdoors Thanks man appreciate that 👍 the vanquish 440 at £299 looks like the one for me.
I feel your disappointment that Apex came out on top. Better luck next time.
Gone off gratte now interested in vanquish
If this is a depth test, why is the Simplex the only one with the small, non-standard coil?
Good question.. I probably should have kept it stock for this test but I thought the SP24 coil was more comparable in size to the others..

Put it in all metal and will hit it in on all modes on the vanquish.
Looked lake APEX gave bounce reading in 1.5" depth ... Should have tried Simplex in Field on 5".. but thanks.
