Thanks for the review. Great info. I only use the Simplex for fresh water hunting and would be interested if the 8.5 coil produces more or less drag underwater than the stock 11" coil. If you have a way of testing that, it would be great.
@@thehuntergt - I have the same question. I own this machine, but despite my many years of detecting experience, I have very little experience detecting in the water. I recently spent a few hours in waist-deep freshwater with the unit, and I felt the stock SP28 was providing a lot of swing resistance underwater. In fact, it was so slow-going in the water, the amount of area I covered in 3.5 hrs was very limited. That being said, I don't want to switch to the SP22 if it won't get easier to push through the water. I already own the SP22, as I keep all the various coils already mounted and wired to their own shafts, so swapping out is simple. I also have the SP24. Do you think the SP24 would be easy to move underwater? On a side-note, it seems whenever I beach detect, I never find much of anything from the dry sand to the waterline. I was really hoping by getting into waist-deep water, I'd have better luck, but according to what I was pulling up in my scoop, the entire beachbottom was covered in at least 6 inches of sand and another 2 inches of Zebra Mussel shells. I understand about searching during low tide and after storms, and I understand how searching low tide will allow you to search further into the surf, but low tide does nothing to remove several inches of sand from a sanded-in beach (wet or dry).
Which coil from the nokta range would you recommend for beach shallow surf /waves hunting? Seeing that theres fast moving water constantly and I'm thinking smaller might work easier thab standard coil.
Hmm...tough question...I'm not sure since the stock coil is the thinnest. The 2 smaller coils have taller side walls when comparing. That might give more swing resistance in fluid. The SP22 has the wide openings which might make water travel over and and around easier. Just not sure sorry....without testing each one in rapid succession it is hard to guess.
Kind of a weird release as far as where it fits. It is so close to what the Deus can do as a relic hunter, it makes me scratch my head sometimes, as there are better dedicated gold prospecting machines on the market in the Gold Kruzer and Gold Monster. I mean I like it...people do VERY well with it relic hunting. If you want the tiny small stuff in heavy bed of nails iron...it does the trick. But if you talk about getting more coils for it at 300-400$....you might as well just get a Deus at that point....IMO.
I herd that nokta is coming out with multie frequency detector it will incorporate AI Technogy is that true?? if the case I will wait for this detector
@@SunsTo7 - Thank you, I guess there's a lot of debate about this, but if the newer version makes the unit more stable with minimal depth loss, I'll probably agree with your position.
I like the elliptical coil, mostly because of the shape (allows you to go along a sidewalk). You need a longer wooden ruler for your testing!
Maybe a yardstick is in order lol. I do prefer the SP24 as well, but this one does the trick too.
Thanks for the comparison of the two new coils. Now to decide which to get 1st.
Tough decision...thanks for watching.
Enjoyed the videos Hunter. Glad to see you're doing well. Looking forward to the next one. Be safe and be happy.
Thanks Danny - all is well here. Be safe too my friend.
@@thehuntergt can we be friends
Thanks for the new video. Have you even considered making a short video on the 22 and 24 side by side for comparison on depth, speed recovery, ect?
Thanks for watching. Yeah I thought about it for sure, but decided they needed their own video each instead of a single combo video.
So please review detech relic striker

I would not think so as it has taller side walls by a CM roughly. Next time I hit the lake I will try to remember to test that.

how would you compare the sp22 against the sp28? i have to replace my 28 and was trying to decide..
again a awesome review im kinda liking this coil the sp22 can get into tighter spots its hard decision between the 22 and 24 im swinging toward the 24
I like this one plenty, but for sure prefer the 9x5 coil if I had to choose only one.
Thinking of purchasing an XP ORX...thoughts ?

Ok. It's been a year since you've tested both. Is there one that you use more and why?
I use the SP24 since I gave the SP22 away....however I think they are fairly similar in performance.
Maybe a quicker response on the new coils, think ill get them both :)
A good idea!
Can someone tell me it’s better than original, smaller , lighter, more like sniper coin coil ? Worth to upgrade? Thanks
Would you say the sp24 coil is better for trashy areas and areas with a lot of close together signals debating on what one to buy first👌
Yes, the SP24 will separate just slightly better being narrower.
Which of the smaller coils pinpoints best?
I herd that nokta is coming out with multie frequency detector it will incorporate AI Technogy is that true?? if the case I will wait for this detector
There is no ETA on that detector. Could very well be a year or more away still.
So which would you prefer for depth? SP22 or SP24?
Depth goes very slightly to the SP22.
very interesting coil ...does it make the detector a little lighter or is it about the same as the 11" standard ?
It does feel slightly lighter yes. You can feel it once attached.
You are trying hard to get me to spend some more money. I Like that SP24. Great review
lol...I'll be here when you are ready to buy both! Thanks for watching man.
Great review and another good coil!!!
Thanks Papa! They released two good ones for sure.
had just ordered a Simplex plus, When it arrives with the 2.78 can I safely dial it back to the 2.77 safely?
Hahahah. I just ordered it, too...only 2 days ago and it's arriving this Thursday! I was wondering the same thing about the software version. ☺️
@@PureBlood42 Just found out that you can go back to 2.77 but now seeing more ,You shouldn't want to,
@@SunsTo7 - Thank you, I guess there's a lot of debate about this, but if the newer version makes the unit more stable with minimal depth loss, I'll probably agree with your position.
On my wish list
Hit me up when ready!
TheHunterGT I will for sure and I wish I’d known u was a dealer before I’d ordered my simplex
@@marvinlawson9412 No worries man. NoktaMakro - Minelab - First Texas - XP...I do it all now.
Another OUTSTANDING review John!
@@FindingAlabama Thanks brother!
Thanks for the info!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
Another great review
Thanks!
How much?
$110
From the Philippines how can I order? I want this metal detector
It thickerer too?
I said thicker! I even went back to check lol
