Good job dude. Rocking the beach with the Ultra. Oh yeah
You should take that to a club dig to see how it compares to other metal detectors like the nox 800, legend or even the old simplex! I’d love to see that!
Super video.
Loved the video and your British accent. Love that you take your time. I just received my Ultra this week. Looking forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you
Some people one the eastern and western coast say the Simplex + is no good on the beach and is very chatty. I have absolutely no issues on the beach, in the water ( wet sand or dry ) here along Texas beaches.
Very informative video.
Thanks Adam
The machine looks pretty good. Thanks for showing
Love watching YT vids from enthusiasts such as yourself. You can hear the passion and excitement in your voice with every find. Also I am so Glad that you are impressed with the "Ultra". I am new to metal detecting, so new in-fact that my detector hasn't arrived yet! I have actually purchased the simplex ultra and so far every review I have seen rate it quite highly, so I hope there will be some interesting finds to come for me. Take care and hope to see more from you soon.
Impressive little tool there adam we all love a coin magnet.
Thought the Simplex+ was a coin magnet but this looks different gravy. Can't wait to see you put it through it's paces on the events field. ❤ #onward
Looks great and looking forward to seeing you on land agree that original simplex is fine for the beach
Harika!!!
Excelente video y hallazgos 🙋♂️🇨🇱👏👍🤝⛏️🗝️💍
Very good video, if possible make a video comparing legend vs simplex ultra. Multi frequency vs single frequency. Thanks.
They're not comparable.
There's no way of setting up a fair like-for-like test between them. If you're trying to decide on a new machine it's best to get the one that matches your ability and experience in the first instance 👍
Wow that's awesome bit of kit 👏 did really well 👏 love it awesome video hope ur well I am thinking about one of the one day haha
Thanks.
I used to enjoy the simplex + on the beach with the SP24 coil as it was a coin magnet, I’d say looking at your video the new Ultra is proving to be another great beach machine. Well done and thanks for sharing Adam, I did think it would perform sweet, and I wonder how it would be with an SP24 fitted? Because the stock coil did well 👍
Nice
The little JD tag would be attached to a pair of sneakers/trainers that are exclusive to JD. They would be attached by one of those little clippy ball chain things (they must have a technical name 😂)
This is going to be next detector. After watching another video on this I am Looking forward to using it on my Florida home 🏡 beaches.
Looking like a very capable machine Adam . HH Colin
Симплекс ультра хорошая машина, я им доволен
Get that on a field! Let's see some serious coinage 😊
Literally on one with it now 😊👍
Excellent hunt! I wonder if there's any chance of Notka incorporating the ground suppression feature into the original Simplex +, if that's even possible... Thanks for your efforts!!
👍Ок.
I have been loaned a simplex ultra
Decisions decisions, decisions, Simplex Ultra or The Legend
I can’t speak for the new Simplex Ultra, but I can say that the Simplex + is a great machine and now that I have the Legend, I would say you’d be much happier adding the money and getting the Legend.
Buy both mate,and happy hunting.
Don't know how you guys deal with all those stones on the beach...😮crazy
Patience 😅
Oooh no.... Those target tones sound like the buzzer on the " operation" game and the pinpoint sounds like sooty on a medieval torture rack... would drive me crackers
Each to their own. I'm used to the original Simplex which had the same tone set. Once you get used to it it's remarkably nuanced 👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I always got on with my simplex too apart from the interference from every pointer I tried, it performed way above its price tag, and certainly was never chattery as many report.. I never liked the tones though and hoped they had improved now , but if anything they are coarser.
Good video though mate 👌
Pretty cool! Will you be testing this on land too?
Absolutely! This weekend all being well 😊
@@DTEKTSUSSEX Great! Im looking forward to seeing it! Im going on a field soon too with the club, hopefully i can identify my mystery ring i found
Thanks Adam! Simplex ultra or X-terra pro?
I haven't used the X-Terra myself but based on people I know who have used both, go for the Simplex Ultra 👍
Another good video Adam, but tell me please, what sandscoop model are you using? Tia👍🏼
Hi,
Thank you 😊 It's the Nokta 3 in 1 sand scoop. Very sturdy but lightweight and cuts through sand like butter 👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX Thankyou Adam👍🏼
Not sure if you know , but the Simplex + has a mute function, I’m guessing that the Simplex Ultra would as well.
I know very well. Both The Legend and Simplex+ had the mute button added in an update. I'm hoping they'll do the same for the Ultra 😊👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX hello mate what s your impression of this new metal?
Hi!
Initial impressions are good, although I've only used it for a few hours so I'm still learning it. It'll take a while to get used to any new machine and be able to use it proficiently.
I'll keep learning it and see how it goes 😊
coin sniffer :)
What sand scoop are you using? The last two I’ve bought have broken within a few weeks.
The Nokta Premium Scoop. Lasted me well over 2 years of weekly use so far... 😊👍
I bought a £50 from Amazon which lasted me a few weeks.
Is that the 3 in 1 scoop?
Yes 😊
@@DTEKTSUSSEX I’ll pick it up 👌🏻 Cheers mate.
Not sure about the Simplex Ultra but I’d like to see someone doing a comparison between the NM Legend and the Quest Q60.
What simplex+ detector, with 15 Inch coil of how much deft in land
The Simplex+ is fantastic on land. I'll be testing the Ultra on land soon 👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX All the best. ❤ Congratulations ❤
No blobs of aluminium at all ???
Hmm I must be sceptical Adam
I know, right?! Surprised me as well. You wait...it'll be nothing but next time 😅
But that's metal detecting 🤷♂️
I want the simplex ultra for my birthday second metal detector I don’t know if I should get it?
It's an awesome machine!!!!
@@DTEKTSUSSEX thank you for the response!
Как насчёт глубины поиска?
This is only my first hunt so too early to assess accurately. Deepest on this hunt in Beach mode was around 6-7 inches.
I'll be trying it on land soon and may do some testing down the line 👍
Is there any difference between the ultra and BT other than carbon fiber?
Hi!
Yes, the Ultra has a lot more in terms of settings and adjustments such as recovery speed and ground suppression (amongst others) 😊👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX thanks for reply. Honestly feel so confused about all the options now. I'm after my first detector and can't decide between simplex ultra, x terra pro and the vanquish. Also if the simplex plus is better than the ultra. Really appreciate any help. Also are headphones really essential?
Happy to help 😊
The Ultra is better than the Plus on the Simplex. Inside and out. The Plus is a monster of a machine but the Ultra somehow manages to improve on it!
Headphones aren't essential but will help you to hear the more subtle nuances of the tones. The Ultra had Bluetooth connection so you can use your own headphones as long as they're low latency.
What the Nokta machines have over the others you mention is ease of use, build quality, waterproof rating and performance for your money.
Any other questions, please feel free to let me know. I have a Facebook page if you'd rather message me on there 😊👍
@@DTEKTSUSSEX thanks bud so looks like the ultra is the way to go then!
It's a great machine! Shout if you need anything else 😊👍
So can i get this product in I am in somalia
Here is a link to details about the Nokta distributor in Somalia:
www.noktadetectors.com/dealer/afrikturk-somalia/
Is it as good as the legend on the beach ? And is it more expensive or less expensive then the legend i might get one im not happy with the vanquish 540 i bought its rubbish
Hi Eddie,
It's fine for the beach but the Legend will perform better because it's a simultaneous multi-frequency machine and has a lot more settings and features. The Legend is a bit more but definitely an amazing deal at the price 👍😊
Thanks adam il get the legend then the vanquish 540 is multi frequency but thats overhyped in my opinion still very chatty on the wet sand and gives phantom signals very deep, dig 15 inch sometimes nothing in the hole
Great choice! Let me know if you need any help with it when it arrives 😊👍
How much is it ?
£329 without headphones. £399 with 👍
Shame they never put that keypad on the legend😢
The Simplex Ultra keypad is very nice but the Legend one is a lot nicer 👌
@@DTEKTSUSSEX no I mean just the white highlighted keys . Miles better
Ah...after using it a few times I never look at the keys. Really intuitive placement.
Agreed, I do a lot of night hunting and I miss the lighted key pads.
I'm really not trying to be negative, but I think the Simplex sounds really bad and that is a complete show stopper for me.
Everyone has their own tastes. I quite like the Simplex sounds. For an entry level machine you get a lot of nuance to the targets.
for me the problem was the Nokta market strategy, release the first Legend and after that down the price a lot because they release accessory in carbon and new material, new legend versione with carbon and new accessory material and now release new simplex family, so the first legend become already obsolete i buy at january and cant sell for cheap price is insane!
I agree...The tones of the Simplex are horrible....Sounds like a wounded duck. Otherwise, I would have purchased the Ultra...The 99 tones on this detector sounds much better on this detector....Think I will keep the Xterra Pro at the top of the list.
No...the price drop had nothing whatsoever to do with the hardware upgrade. The Simplex doesn't replace the Legend...it's an entry level machine. The Legend is still the top end flagship.
@@jasonking6366 Yes, I got the X-Terra Pro as a backup to my Manticore and I'm real happy with both. I used the XTP with a 15-inch DD coil this weekend on the beach and I was super happy with it. I found 2 rings and coins down deep some at 14 inches.
Do you need permission to detect on your local beach?
Not on my local beach. Always check the Crown Estates website. If it comes under their jurisdiction then you're good to go.
If not, just check with your local council 👍
What about FREQ/KHZ shift like on the new Xterra, is that not possible on the new simplex series ?
No, the Simplex was never designed to have multiple frequencies. It's produced to be as simple to use as possible whilst providing high performance in most locations.
@@DTEKTSUSSEX changing between 5-10-15 khz is quite simple to me , what about change of recovery speed and iron tones, is that also not included in the Simplex series
Only on the new Ultra model. Not on the Simplex+ or the new Lite or BT.
Remember, everyone is different and starts from a different point. What is simple to one user is not simple to another. When I first started out switching frequencies would have been too much. Now the concept is second nature. I know users who have been detecting longer than I've been alive who would struggle with the idea of changing frequencies.
What the difference between the plus and ultra
Hi Jack,
The Ultra has Bluetooth, carbon fibre hardware and is only 1.2kg in weight. It also has a thinner control box, better buttons and a lot more settings (see my unboxing video from last week for more info 😊👍).
Also on 15khz,the simplex plus is on 12khz.
Correct 👍
