The Simplex Vs The Equinox testing the signals
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2020
- Today we took the Simplex and the Equinox out and when we found a signal we compaired both the Equinox and the Simplex to see what they made of the target.
I think because we are used to the Minelab Equinox and its tones we seem to feel more at ease using them but the Simplex did do well againt the equinox.

Subscribed, loved the back and forth between you two. Good job!
Thanks matey, welcome to TMDC :-) We do love to have a bit of fun when out in search for treasure :-) Thank you for watching
Hey up fellas. 👋🏻😃 Great vid that, I really enjoyed watching. Lots of nice finds dug in in a very Northern style. 🤣 Happy birthday Mike btw! 🎂 Thanks for sharing, take care, GL&HH. 🇬🇧 Deano. 😃👍🏻
Thank you matey and thanks for the birthday messages on the video 📹
Haha, you’re welcome buddy. 😃👍🏻
Great vlog mate thanks for the taking the time to get it to us viewers.
Thank you matey for watching :-)
You've got a great new video !!!
This is interesting to me.
I will wait for new interesting works on your channel !!!
Thanks matey we appreciate your support 👍
Good comparison video lads some nice finds turned up well done you two 👍👍👊🎧👊
Thanks matey, we was trying to be as fair as possible, think we will put the simplex up against the Vanquish 340 next :0 Thanks for watching matey
Very nice and well done there buddy ! Thanks for sharing :) ATB
Thanks for watching matey
This was a great video! I love both machines. I just got my Nox 800, but I have had the Simplex for almost a year. If there was one thing I learned about the Simplex it that it loves big iron targets. Sometimes you can tell it's iron if it's a small target because the signal will be broken. That's not the case with big iron. With that said, I dug an awful lot of iron with the Nox the last time I took it out. I think a lot of it was because there were high tones mixed in occasionally and I didn't want to miss a good target that was next to a piece of iron, so I dug it. This was the case only once. lol Thanks for sharing this with us, guys!!
Yes you can dig a lot of iron with the nox but im starting to learn what to not dig lol but still you have to dig to be 100% I guess.. lol
If you pump the Simplex over the target ( like when you ground balance) you usually get the number 4 ID which is the ID for iron and there is a mute button to stop the interference from the pin pointer .
Great video guys. Now you can add sheep whisperer to your talents 😊 thanks for the advise last weekend. I managed to pick up a Vanquish 540 and I've already dug £3 and a hot wheels! Result! To the next!
Vanquish 540 nice matey! Top machine. Im sure you will find some awesome stuff. Happy hunting matey :-)
Thanks for the video some interesting sounds there, both found the coins no problems I'm new to the game and watching, listening and learning I think lol 😆 😎🐓🐓🇬🇧
We've just done a video with the Minelab Vanquish 340 and the simplex so that video will be out in a week or so and we're planning on beach testing the simplex too :-)
Great day for it guys 👍🏻I,ll stick with the Max😉enjoyed watching 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Thanks for watching matey
What can say it’s the Nox all the way
Except if you’re just Starting out, in the Hobby the Simplex is Good less expensive machine 👍DiG DiG DiG
Great Video Guys 🥳❤️
I guess but maybe a vanquish could be also a great machine. :-) thanks for watching matey
Great video guys thanks for sharing--I still have my Garrett AT Max for now--Gets the job done :)
Great machine, Shaun used to have one before we started to make videos :-) take care and happy hunting matey
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel Thank my friend and happy 4th. ATB Pull Tab
Great episode guys! You two are hilarious! Love the way you compared the two. I have the simplex and at first, I didn’t like it. But after I learned it, I find it to be a great machine. Have a great day, to the next!
Just watched your last video 📹. Great job, you well and truly have mastered the simplex..
Nox tones easy on the ears. Simplex not so easy. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching matey 👍 😀
For the price difference you could get two Simplex detectors.
Simplex did a great job. But from what I’m seeing it takes time getting to know that machine before it becomes a real beast.
If money isn’t an issue go with the Nox , it’s a bit lighter and tones sound better.
But I did order a simplex because of this video.
Yes to be fair its not really a fair comparison to have a simplex up against a machine a few times it's price, I agre that the simplex is an great built machine and once you get used to the sounds is also a very capable machine.
Thank you for watching and I appreciate your comment :-)
Nice vid thanks for sharing
Thanks matey :-)
Love the sound off the nox
So do we, we have used a fair amount of different detectors over the time and none have been as easy to get to grips with as the minelab for listning to tones.
Can I suggest a Fiskars plastic trowel? They're great for using with a pinpointer to find items in the plug or hole and won't scratch the target object.
Oh thank you for this info, ill have a look into this :-) cheers 🍻
Great video. Ive owned both for a year and have used them until theyre nearly falling apart (well the simplex is anyway)... my thought is the The Simplex is a great value with some good features. But in terms of finding targets in undisturbed soil- it’s just OK, and rather overhyped based on some claims out there...It isnt a deep machine, though its respectable on sand and loose, loamy soil.... The nox on the other hand has shocked me many times in terms of raw depth and ID stability.
I'm trying to when filming be as open minded as possible due to the fact I use a equinox 800 and 100% love the machine I try to not come across as if I dislike the simplex, I know I should not compare the simplex with the nox as there are 2 completely different animals but i do feel that the vanquish 340 is actually a better machine although it does not have some of the good features that the simplex has, I think i would still choose the vanquish over the simplex :-) thank you for your comment i do agree with what you say:-) thanks for you support..
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel Cheers to you sir! New to your channel and enjoy the videos. Lovely countryside you have there! Be well!
@@NFL88 ahh yes we are blessed by the countryside its just a shame about the weather hahaha
Nice video, thanks. Would love to see you do the same with the Vanquish...
Thank you for watching ,:-) here is the vanquish and simplex
ruclips.net/video/O47B7xgp-kU/видео.html
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel Thanks, I've just watched that one, I don't think I could cope with the Simplex tones! Anyway, I meant I'd like to see the Vanquish against the Nox, it would be very interesting to many Minelab owners at either end of the range.
On nice stable ground like that it should find anything the nox does.
im sure its me like but last week i went out with and i hated the bloody thing hahaha i think its just down to the fact im so used to the nox not that its like learning all new again lol ill keep at it, going to take it out against the vanquish tomorrow :-)
Am glad yas done this coz a have a simplex and am wanting a nox
Ahh you will LOVE the nox 100%
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel nice one can’t wait to get one tbh need the subscribers need a shout out ;)
you can do a frequency shift on the simplex to limit the interference from the pointer. or just push the mute lol
I'm guessing its the option to change it to 1 2 or 3.. the mute button is handy lol.
Can not beleve I missed this brother iam so sorry my boy had football just got in ffs so so sorry brother watch it now
And this is how you treat your top brother!!! nah only Joking Terry lol
You guys should wrap your detectors in wood-patterned sheeting and write "Enfield" on the side!
lol :-)
Hi Lads, Well that was a bit of fun, it was like watching the Chuckle Brothers...LOL When I first got the Nox, if I got a 19 it was a coin, no problem, but after the updates it all over the bloody place, if I had not sold the Nox I would of rolled back the updates, it was just a lot cleaner with targets, if you know what I mean.. I don't think I could use the Simplex, it sounds like a bloody demented duck....LOL
Catch you soon
Take care lads
Tom
Demented duck haha too gunny. But true lol
Serta Perfect Sleep Commercial Starts @ 16:50
Haha I had to go back and watch it again, that's from a while back was that and yeah them sheep were soooooo friendly 😄
I enjoyed watching that guys, I do like the sound of the nox though, it's not screechy like the Simplex... Great video guys..👍😊..🌴😎
Thanks for watching matey, we are doing a giveaway soon with that simplex :-) but you are right, the nox does have a more clear tone to it..
Will see you then mike
:-)
I'm off too shinning woods Derbyshire to day.its a ghosty place old properties in the woods ,and a Old lady lived in a mud hut years ago sounds great place metal detecting 😆🤣
It sure does! Hope you find some cool stuff matey, happy hunting. 😊
Let u no what I find .thank you yes ,I'm a beginner getting the hang off it now ,I got the 400i garrett metal detector, 3 weeks ago love the fresh air
great comparison video guys!! the simplex hurts my ears like the bounty hunter..haha..minelabs tones are more pleasant! it's amazing the difference between each detector out there :) cheers mateys!!
I totally agree with you about the Minelab tones, I actually struggle to work out the tones for the simplex.. thanks for watching matey
With respect am always abit surprised with comparisons between the nox 800 and the simplex considering there’s nearly a £600 price difference,there’s no doubt the nox is a better machine,but the simplex holds its own on other entry level detectors
You are correct matey, but we did it and tried to be fair but because of a lot of posts of the likes of FB where people say silly things like buy a simplex not a nox but the people that say this have never used a nox so we thought we would make a little video, ideally we try to make vs videos with similar priced machines.. The simplex is a great entry machine infact I think it was this years best selling machine too 😀 👍 thanks for the comment matey and for your support :-)
I had an Equinox 800 for 2 years and traded for a Simplex. I don't regret my decision.
🤪
Love my simplex+ kicked my buddies minelab equinox 900 yesterday right in the butt , he missed 4 gold coins and the simplex grabbed them no sweat
Simplex is a great built machine 💪 👏 congratulations on your 4 gold coins
Love this. I have a simplex and this video helps me learn the diff sounds. But what setting were you on? Field mode 1 or 2
Hey Kathleen 👋 we started off in all metal then went to field mode 1 :-) all metal was way too noisy for me hahaha great machine
Ok yea i dont use all metal either i use field 1 i thought it sounded like 1 . Thanks for responding
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel they coin you foiund at 13:49 i wouldnt have dug that the sound was faint and not consistent. Dang i guess ill start digging those from now on..lol
Wow the best simplex
I'm not liking the simplex that much but I do have to say for the price the simplex is better built and feels more quality 👌
Did you ground-balance the Simplex? I never had it as chattery as it was for you..
Yeah ground balanced, I think it was the frequency settings because 1 setting work ok with the Garrett carrot but would not go anywhere near the minelabs and the other worked with the minelabs but hated the Garrett haha its a great feature that it has that silence button though 😀
great test. simplex not a bad machine. but I still wouldn't swop my nox for it. 🤣
Shhhh don't tell anyone but neither would I lol
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel didn't think you would. 🤣🤣🤣
@@TreasureRangersSavingHistory hahahaha
#done wicked giveaway thanks for the chance
Good luck
Regarding the tones, I used to hate the tones when I first got one, especially field mode. Park 1 is nearly as deep and gives you 3 tones like an XP. The modulation on the simplex is far better so you can work out what you're detecting just from sound alone. I sold my Nox last week due to the overall poor build quality compared to the simplex and lack of clear sound. Once you get used to a Nokta it's hard to go back to that bwoop bwoop sound (although it doesn't fatigue as much).
I've found a LOT of silver with my simplex and tiny Roman grots and other historical items. With the new carbon shaft announced and new coils, it's an absolute amazing detector.
I agree with you on the build quality, thats the thing i like most about the simplex, love the feel of quality. I dont doubt the Simplex as its going to be like most machines, you just got to get used to them but for me and maybe this is just because im used to the nox but i find the nox a lot clearer in picking targets.. I will try Park 1 next time :-) i used all metal mode on a recommendation but found this to be horrible lol. If they do the carbon shaft then that will be a good thing although it is pretty light :-) Thanks for watching matey
Looking to up grade n seems the simplex has a lot of interference and not such clear signalling so I’m still not decided which way to go 🤷🏼♀️
Hey Paul, the simplex is a great machine, it is a little noisy compaired to the newer multi frequncy machines but its still great for its money, if you are looking at doing a bit of beach detecting then i would say stay away and gets somthing multi like the Legend or even the Minelabe equinox range or Vanquish range. If you are over in the UK then LP metal detectors have a great range of detector here www.lpmetaldetecting.com/TMDC10 cheers for watching mate
What type of Equinox is your bud using? And after using the Simplex for almost a year now would you recommend it, or you still more a fan of the Nox?
Thank you :)
He is using the 600 :-) I would definitely recommend the equinox:-) if you like playing with setting then the 800 is great but if not so much for all the setting the 600 is great :-)
Get the X-Terra Pro and forget about the Simplex Lineup from Notka Macro And the Squawk Killing the Duck Tone's that will eventually be hurting your ears....
Did u manual ground balance with the simplex seemed very chatty,have both machines the simplex is good value for money
Yes manuel ground balanced, I think it was because for the first half of the video I was in all metal mode then I switched to field mode. I agree good machine for the money 💰
Have noticed on the nox the signals always tend to be low is that always the case ?????
Yeah the nox signals are low I'm not sure what the max is but I've never had higher than 40, high numbers like 34s are normally aluminium
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel or right it’s mental cause the simplex goes from low to high usually 40-80 are good on simplex rest usually shite obv cans are 67-70 but they be close to the surface unless ploughed but I don’t even pull up ring pulls or nowt now been a long time since have had one which is great shoutgun shells are the worst for me tbh but have found hammered coins and loads of other coins and crazy items with the simplex it really is a good machine defo for beginners but even pro’s use it
Was the orange spot on that sheep denoting a pet? That was the only one out there with that spot.The others behaved as normal sheep but that one was very friendly.Sort of like the Sheriff's "Best Girl" joke.lol
hahahaha, ive no idea matey, i asked the farmer and he said there was 2 other sheep just as friendly. was pretty strange being that close to a sheep like haha
@@Windsurfingaddict this is true, the other month I saw a sheep 🐑 with a sort of harness on it and it was umm a pretty aggressive looking thing, farmer said it was a Tup and was the male and the harness had dye in so he knows what sheep have been had! Mad how for some this is normal day to day stuff but for me I learn somthing new hahaha
@@Windsurfingaddict thank you for your support matey its really appreciated 👍 and for the information
Y don’t you put the simplex on mute if ya press the pin-pointer button it mutes y ya doing ya hand held pin pointer
Yeah that pinpointer mute is a great function.
Sean reminds me of ewen bremner.
hahaha Spud from train spotting! love it
What mode were you on mate,on the Simplex?
Did you ground balance?
Thanks
I think on this video I was on all metal and then changed to field half way through the video, yeah it was all ground balanced.. its a good machine when you get used to it :-)
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel I have other to machines,fisher and an old minelab explorer which was me first one and it was old then but really good with the silvers,I like the built quality of the Simplex and the wireless headphones are good,rechargeable and it collapses to a small size but after a few hours with it I’m still finding deep iron because it rings nice,the pinpointing it’s not the best and the Vdi numbers are very jumpy.
It’s also very chatty.Likes coke.
I’m trying to get used to it but its taking me time.They say there’s a new coil coming from detech,bigger,so hopefully will give it a bit more edge.
F3 if your next to another detector or power lines makes the simplex quiet 🤫
Hey Ste yes mate that normally does the trick but because we had the Garrett carrot and the xp mi4 the F1 2 3 all seemed to work with one but not the other hahaha its great it has a silent button though :-) thanks for watching
Iscritto più like 👍

Great Video lads that simplex sounds like your strangling Orville.
Hahahaha don't it just lol
The Nokta has way too much noise for me, I’d have it wrapped around a tree after 15 minutes of detecting
Hahaha yeah it was a little chattery, you have 3 settings for frequency but it interferes with the xp pinpointer on on and the garret on the other lol
Interesting how a $250 machine can get out there bump heads with a Nox. The cross talk between the Simplex and Nox is bad. I have found the interference from the Nox will affect the Simplex even if it's not making it chatter. Got to back it off 25 feet or so. It's not a Nox but for $250 it rocks. I own two of them.
I really enjoyed both machines 😀 we ended up giving that simplex away to a viewer a year or so ago :-) but even so they are solid built machines that's for sure, cheers 🍻
Simplex sounds like a duck on season 😆🤣
Hahahaha it is a pretty noisy machine 😆
And that's why they have discontinued it the Simplex + but they have the same exact Tone's on the New Simplex Lineup of Detector's and after using it for the 3 + years , I'm Glad that I went to the New Minelab X-TERRA Pro and I'm not Diggin Up any kind of Iron Quarter Tone Targets that the Simplex says that it's a good target and I always end up with the Junkyard of Target's with the Simplex but not more and I have traded it up for a Equinox 600 that is needing to be updated..... but I love the X-Terra Pro ❤❤❤❤....
could upgrade to a decent shovel other than the kids version from harbor frieght
We now use Black ada spades and love them :-) 😀 thank you for watching.
A barely ever dig them ones u did on 16:24 like on simplex most of the time under 20 and over 90 are pap
Yes but still learning :-) 😀
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel have had a one for over a year and am still learning aswell ya always learn man :)
👍👍👍🇲🇨
:-)
Really not a fan of the audio from the simplex, I think it would give me a headache.
I find minelabs a bit soft and I have the volume cranked right up on mine so I can hear it properly, my deus is about right for me, but the simplex is far too harsh in my opinion, I’m sure it’s a good machine but I don’t think I could stand the audio, sounds like a stylophone.
I agree, the simplex just sounds crazy lol I love the clean tones from the equinox but again your right about how loud it goes, you have to wear your headphones in a windy day or you can't hear anything. Thanks for watchibg
who win?
The Minelab Equinox is a better machine by far, I mean there is a few 100 pounds more expensive so you would expect the equinox to win.. the simplex has a great build quality though :-)
Simplex are very hit n miss IMO. Very chattery and signals were all over the place. Pinpointing way off too. My experience. Maybe I'm just too used to my ml explorer.
I'm not sure I really gave it enough time and should have kept at it, the only problem I had was I found even the vanquish 340 was better so found it frustrating to try and get my head around all the chatters lol plus I don't know of a minelab thats no good on the beach where as the simplex struggled on the wet sand in my opinion 🙃 cheers for watching 👀😀
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel yes, this was exactly my experience too. I see a lot of vids showing good depth on testing etc BUT this is not indicitave of actual real field use IMO. I found it pretty unusable but there again, a complete beginner may find them great. 👍
I agree matey, I see some people get on withe them really well even on wet sands but for me you just can't beat a minelab
@@TheMetalDetectingChannel do you think maybe there are good machines and bad ones being put out? Mine had clearly been opened and used and if I didn't know better would've thought it had been a returned item. Maybe the calibration is out on some of them? Maybe some of the components are sub standard? I don't know BUT they have to cut costs somewhere. Cheers 👍
The tones on that simplex are awful, I know it's had great reviews but that would put me off listening to that all day.
Yeah they are really bad and super chattery
Mine will make that chattering noise as well. It's caused by interference with another device.
Like the sheep 🐑 lol 😂
Hahaha this never happens! They normally run away but these sheep were funny as hahaha
This time I will say that my favorite part was 17:10 🐑🐑🐑
It was friendly hahaha
Non devi Descriminare se no non può competere equinox
no but they were to popular machines that people always talk about :-=)
The simplex is a cheap terrible sounding machine sounds like Daffy Duck 🦆 I would break it in 2 and throw it into deep water !!
Hahahaha too funny lol 🤣 thank you for watching pal
