Like the "walk along" test = Real world - I hope others appreciate that little but important factor. Anyone can sweet spot a coin in the test field. Your test (and previous video) shows the fact: If you swing over a target while on a hunt...you could miss it. Great job.
Thanks bro! Love the little walk along, spot on with what you said! If the vanquish can slam it with that little coil I'm curious what the nox can do. Maybe in the next one. Cheers dude good luck out there!
I’m a beginner, so I actually bought an Amazon brand first, and then I bought a Garrett. I returned both because they were not what I expected. They just kept beeping on the beach, wet sand. Once I finally bought the Vanquish 440, I never turned back. This thing did not not beep at all on the beach unless it found something. Only beeped twice on beach for 2 hrs of detecting, and both times, there was something there. A quarter and a silver bracelet. The other detectors were beeping every 3-4 minutes and nothing there. I love a detector that doesn’t beep much! Sounds crazy but that’s a good thing.
Man you gotta love the preformince of the Vanquish!😁 I was fortunate enough to get on a capped bust half dime at 11" in a location I pounded with other single VLF detectors! Very impressive multi frequency detector that's for sure! I love my Vanquish 540!
Would have dug with either machine at 7in....prob pass with the Simplex at 9, depends on how the hunt went before I got to that spot. Possibly dug with the vanquish at 9. I normally run park 1 , one bar under max sensitivity, and ground balance. I may try max sensitivity next time I go. See if my hunt improves. Thanks for posting.
I am right there with you, thank you for watching! For the price, they both did awesome IMO. Mercury dime is a pretty small target to be hitting deep so I am impressed with both.
So as others mentioned you need to ground balance the simplex before you use it. But I can honestly say that I tested the Simplex in 2.78 version vs 2.77 version and the difference was about 2 inches in my air test! Park 2 in 2.78 is good but has very little depth to it. I got 11' in park 1 in my air test with settings wide open on a silver dime in 2.77 as opposed to 8-9 in 2.78. The downside is the more unstable VDI numbers and chatter in 2.77 so its a personal choice on which you prefer.
I would like to try version 2.77 some day! Maybe I could do another test like this w 2.77 but ground balance this time haha. I remember after filming I did go out and try to ground balance and I think it was something like 92 or 94 from the stock 90GB so it might have helped out a little. I bet 2.77 would hit it better I even heard paystreak superfreak talking about that in one of his older videos. To be fair I have been hunting mostly modern ground recently so I think 2.78 probably suits me better, I agree with you about park 2 version 2.78 the recovery speed is awesome!
Is the Vanquish 440 really an equal to the Simplex considering the coil size difference. Honestly I think you should be comparing the Vanquish 540 with its 12 inch coil to the Simplex. Very similar sized coils then but still the Simplex has more adjustment options and retrieval speeds. But going on your test I think the 540 would out perform depth wise against the simplex ; at least in your test there. Other soil conditions could change that. The biggest issue with the Vanquish series is you can't adjust the retrieval speeds at all. Its all preset in the modes you select ! And they are set fairly low . You have to swing slow with a Vanquish ! Did you think to set the Simplex at a slower retrieval speed ??
Hey there, great Video. For anyone deciding to go with minelab, just give the extra $65 and get the 440! (The Built in pin pointer alone is worth the extra $, plus you get a few extra options & accessories) It’s not worth to get the 340 because the built in pin pointer on the 440 is “EXTREMELY ACCURATE”!!! It will save you a lot of frustration, Trust me, I tried both. With the 440, you will not dig more then one hole. Also, of course, it’s handy to have the portable pin pointer as well once your down kneeling on the ground. Good luck! Side Note: Amazing detector for Under $300! And you will not be frowned upon as even the Pro’s who give $1000’s on metal detectors still use the 440!!!
Hi mate. Just suggestion, there’s plenty more dimes around (from what I understand). You could bury a series of coins at different depths and display there differences along the way. Thanks for the work. Cheers.
Hey there bro.. one is suppost to ground base it... when turning on... may get evan better results.. i got the 540... it never let me down... Ground base is Paramount... 🙂 Gr8 Video Bro... 🙂
Yes , you hit that nail right on the head ! Lol . Also as I stated in another reply , what would happen if you used a slower retrieval speed on the Simplex. That usually allows a machine to punch deeper !
Vanquish kills the Simplex even with a much smaller coil, to all the people saying the Simplex would work better with a ground balance yes, it might perform slightly better, but there was no reaction from the ground, it wasn't out of balance. The Vanquish is simply a better performing detector on deep targets with far more stable target ID's, why? Multi-IQ is far better than old single frequency technology from 10+ years ago, the Vanquish doesn't even need a ground balance. I hope the Legend is a vast improvement over the Simplex. The Simplex has all the bells and whistles of a great machine, just not the performance when it comes to deeper targets, or even mid depth targets, it's target ID lets it down.
Does the Vanquish have a ground balance option? The Simplex does and for good reason. You did everything right and then DOH! You didn't ground balance, which will affect the outcome. I'm impressed with the Vanquish, nearly got one but decided on the Simplex. I think the Vanquish is easier to use with less chatter and I appreciate your testing it, thanks for the video,,,Garnet
You have a good eye for catching that! I cut out the footage of the ground balance test it was long and stale though I should have left it in anyways. It balanced from 90 to 96 and made very little difference surprisingly. I'll try to improve next round the simplex is still my go to detector and I'm definitely still learning with it so I appreciate you coming by and leaving feedback. 😁
Both are top notch machines. Perhaps the sandy soil gave a little advantage to the Vanquish. Good vid...but probably should have ground balanced the Simplex to be fair. I gotta say the Vanquish has phenomenal target id at depth.
Leave the dime there and in time you will see what each machine can do better. A freshly buried object is not the same as one that has been in the ground for 40 years. I still enjoyed watching your video though!!
Honestly i believe the simplex would have smacked it better in that area with proper ground balance and or a bit shorter and swifter swing speed, I’ve hit dimes at around 10”-11”, sometimes with no vdi but it registered consistently with mine, pennies deeper, also helps if you walk it 360 with the coil wiggle over the top of the target all the way around.
Was it because of the no ground balance? I agree I could have done better I would be down to go out and try it again. P.S your videos brought me some nostalgia I used to play RS back in the day lol. 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors gb and most simplexes dont work well with a operating pinpointer in the vacinity (seems like a block or 2) mine is a good example. Entertaining vids to ya non the less...👍
Glad I could help a little, remember not to get discouraged on those low numbers! Most will be aluminum but gold can read from anywhere between 1- 20 and sometimes even beyond! Good luck out there!
You are spot on, depth is not everything! Both have their strengths, I love simplex overall I see myself picking it up more often but... if it's time to go to salt water or I am feeling something different vanquish is nice to have. Cheers man 👻
The Vanquish hands down..10 inch coil and it hit better.. Not knocking the Simplex as it is a great detector too. but I use different detectors for what I am searching for..
If you get a good signal - change it to all metals mode and check again if it starts making grunts and showing minus numbers it’s usually rusty junk. I just use it in all metals then I hear the grunts instantly and move on
I would say my honest opinion would be I prefer the simplex as an all around machine and I think it will last longer because it's built tough but I prefer the vanquish for the beaches here in FL and I also really like the vanquish tones, think it comes down to preference at the end up the day both really good machines for the price! 👍
I'm wondering in wich of the two machines could be use in gold nuggets hunting? Because I'm planning to buy a metal detector but I don't have any idea which one to choose. 😅 But of course budget friendly like the Simplex.
From my limited knowledge... I'll say I think the vanquish may have the slight advantage when it comes to giving a strong signal on small gold. it runs higher frequencies which is supposed to be better for finding gold and small objects. But to be fair... never used one in those conditions and can't say it will work for sure.. I do know they have detectors specifically for gold field hunting that might be worth looking into but I'm sure those can get up there in price. Hard choice!
I'm over on the west coast of FL the inland sands are pretty neutral here but the black sand can be a different story! I know up north the soils can be a real pain to detect in at times!
I want to bring the simplex out and give it another go on some assorted items, always fun to test and I will try GB. It's hard to get a ground balance on my soil its so neutral but I should give it a go 👍
I had the 540 for awhile then went back to the Eurotek Pro. The 540 found deep coins I buried, but never really found them out in the iron lettered sites,,I think multi frequency gives to much info and misses what I'm looking for,,maybe its recovery speed and info receiving is poor on those conditions,,where there Eurotek has a very fast recovery speed. Curious if weather you could bury some coins at say 5" to 7"deep and 3"to 5" apart and do recovery and which one unmask better. I'm thinking this will be to the advantage of the Simplex. I'm looking into buying the Simplex,,would like to its potential in recovery and unmasking in those conditions. I know the Eurotek will sniff em out.
Mark I think you are on point with that statement, personally I don't hunt too many iron infested sites but when I do I can definitely feel the vanquish struggling, I do believe the simplex has a faster processing speed (at least it feels like it) and I have a better time with it in the trash than the vanquish. Like you said the vanquish is strong when there is not a lot of other targets around (clean ground) works great on the beach for me but seems to struggle in the iron & trash. I have never personally used or heard of the Eurotek but for the price the simplex is honestly hard to beat as a complete package. However I think the simplex really shines with the additional SP24 coil. I will try to get out there and give it another test in the near future, you are right about target separation being equally if not more important than depth in some cases!
My aunt bought a eurotek I hated it. I'd find a target with my deus or 800 and the eurotek would be giving crazy signals or no signal at all on the target. That was hunting in high trash area ghost town.
@@TreasureOutdoors Yeah, I just ordered one, for the money it seems like a very good choice. It seems to compete with some of the more expensive brands in certain aspects.
Turn off your phone and pin-pointer if it starts to chatter like that or keep them at least 6 feet away and power cycle the vanquish. Camera might even be giving you some interference being that close to it too.
Seen a lot of minelab live digs pulling nails and iron and I can mention 2 popular metal detecting vid poters that were fooled by the plex's ability to separated non & ferrous metals...I would say hands down the vanquish is a relic beast, but I run the plex living in the shadows of 2 steel mills....and not dig up all the iron here.
Vanquish got it. I do not own a vanquish though ATM , I just got the simplex the other day to replace my Ace 400. So how do you like the Simplex ? and which is your go to machine vanquish 440 or simplex
I would say I choose simplex more when I am land hunting and vanquish more when I am out at the beach. Simplex is a great upgrade, I had ace 200 and upgraded to simplex also 👍 I really like the simplex a lot better when using the smaller SP24 coil but everyone has their own preference! Have you got a chance to use the simplex yet?
@@TreasureOutdoors 2.76 and 2.77 has the added depth but is a little more unstable than the 2.78, 2.77 has the mute feature, 2.76 does not, basically the 2.78 has the same depth and stability as the 2.67 did but the 2.78 has more features, i own two 2.76’s and personally i really like the little extra depth, if you ever wanted to you can go backwards to the 2.77 for added depth, i say 2.77 so you can also keep the mute function.
I have also heard mixed reviews about 2.78, what version are you running on the simplex and how has your experience been so far? Thanks for stopping by!
@@TreasureOutdoors i am running 2.77 it is okay have never used 2.78 I don't know how much difference it makes would make a good test of both to see if any difference between the two
What a top video allways injoy catch up with you big thumbs up and iam doing a live UK time on Friday night 9pm meat new Metaldetecter people and and mack new friends and hope you will come and have a nice time with us your brother
Hey Jeff, I ground balanced off camera it balanced from 90-96 and made very little difference but I will make sure next time I do a test to add that in there and GB on camera. Appreciate ya stopping by! My FL sand could definitely be swaying the results.
I believe it and saw that Deus 2 looks like a champ and I think eventually in a couple months I'll downsize the detector arsenal a little bit and either grab a D1 or d2 either that or I'll try out a pulse induction machine
vanquish absolutely winner, can you make video with water tests both of them... you are too much on the target, you need to use real life passing through... if you get then its ok, if not then not detected..
....lol...when a coin is turned sideways it gives you the most retarded depth readings... one of my most significant fines metal detecting I damn near Thrue it away because I thought it was nothing more than dog tages

How do you find that 12 inch coil? I'm buying one in the next two weeks and I was worried about the coil being too big!
If that Vanquish had a bigger coil, it probably would have been loud and clear. Those are both awesome machines for the price.
Yep! The vanquish impresses me every time I test it out. Definitely a strong machine for the price!

I agree! Very versatile little machine..
Great video, really appreciate videos like these. Great for people getting into detecting getting to see different equipment, features etc.
Ground balance would have made the simplex clear up on the second test. I would be the proud owner of a Mercury dime. Lol
You did not ground balance the Simplex so not really a good test of it's abilities. The Simplex needs to be ground balanced to perform at it's best.

Seen a lot of minelab live digs pulling nails and iron and I can mention 2 popular metal detecting vid poters that were fooled by the plex's ability to separated non & ferrous metals...I would say hands down the vanquish is a relic beast, but I run the plex living in the shadows of 2 steel mills....and not dig up all the iron here.
Vanquish got it. I do not own a vanquish though ATM , I just got the simplex the other day to replace my Ace 400. So how do you like the Simplex ? and which is your go to machine vanquish 440 or simplex
I would say I choose simplex more when I am land hunting and vanquish more when I am out at the beach. Simplex is a great upgrade, I had ace 200 and upgraded to simplex also 👍 I really like the simplex a lot better when using the smaller SP24 coil but everyone has their own preference! Have you got a chance to use the simplex yet?
Very interesting movie, best regards
I’m almost 100% sure the minelab coil is backwards
The best video thanks
Thnx for this vid its very heplful
What software does the simplex have 2.77 or 2.78 ?
2.78 came preloaded when I bought the simplex. What are your thoughts, think 2.77 could outperform?
@@TreasureOutdoors 2.76 and 2.77 has the added depth but is a little more unstable than the 2.78, 2.77 has the mute feature, 2.76 does not, basically the 2.78 has the same depth and stability as the 2.67 did but the 2.78 has more features, i own two 2.76’s and personally i really like the little extra depth, if you ever wanted to you can go backwards to the 2.77 for added depth, i say 2.77 so you can also keep the mute function.
The 2.77 is susposed to have more depth than 2.78
I have also heard mixed reviews about 2.78, what version are you running on the simplex and how has your experience been so far? Thanks for stopping by!
@@TreasureOutdoors i am running 2.77 it is okay have never used 2.78 I don't know how much difference it makes would make a good test of both to see if any difference between the two
Just got a vanquish 440 not used it yet going to go out Boxing Day with it on the beach
Good luck with it!! I've had pretty good luck with mine, just dont plop it in the water and you should be good to go👍
@@TreasureOutdoors is the coil not waterproof ?
@@Phats83 The coil is waterproof but make sure not to get the control box wet 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors ok thank you so much for your help
A vantagem do vanquish é que possui uma frequência a mais. 8kz e 18kz. E o simplex 18kz.
You should try" All metal mode ".
great recommendation, I have been wanting to test all metal mode out on the simplex. 👍
Hi, can you help me ? buy vanquish 440/540 or simplex+
Simplex is waterproof, I think vanquish works better at the beach... they are both good! You will be happy with either one. 👍
Simplex hands down
Simplex czy 440?
The vanguish is truly the winner
Can't pick the better one so I have both .
Nice video..... thanks 👍👍👌
Appreciate ya stopping by steely dan! 👍🤠
What a top video allways injoy catch up with you big thumbs up and iam doing a live UK time on Friday night 9pm meat new Metaldetecter people and and mack new friends and hope you will come and have a nice time with us your brother
You got to ground balance the simplex
Hey Jeff, I ground balanced off camera it balanced from 90-96 and made very little difference but I will make sure next time I do a test to add that in there and GB on camera. Appreciate ya stopping by! My FL sand could definitely be swaying the results.
Tie. Good job!
O vanquish é dois em um! 8kz e 18kz.
I would say that test was a tie
Can it pick up gold
yes they both can pick up some gold depending on size and depth
Gigmaster just said a guy hit a nickle in wet sand at 16 inched with a Deus II.
I believe it and saw that Deus 2 looks like a champ and I think eventually in a couple months I'll downsize the detector arsenal a little bit and either grab a D1 or d2 either that or I'll try out a pulse induction machine
Kesimpulan nya mana yang tebaik bos?
Both very good! No clear winner. ( No hay ganadora clara, ambas muy buenas )
vanquish absolutely winner, can you make video with water tests both of them... you are too much on the target, you need to use real life passing through... if you get then its ok, if not then not detected..
Wish thee Vanquish was waterproof .
That would be great.. but then the Equinox would take a huge hit on sales. 👍 Coil is waterproof at least, just be sure not to drop the box in! 💦🌊
Both good machines for the price 👍👍👍👌👌
Vanquish
Belo video amigo acabou de ganhar mais um inscrito aqui direto de Rio Azul PR da uma força pra mim tbm juntos somos mais fortes abraço
Tied
Turn it off and back on again
Don't count the simplex out
Vanquish takes all
Vanquish wins
You on Facebook mate?
Unfortunately not, I made a little instagram but nothing much on it yet! You can find me over at IG - Treasure Outdoors
nice 🎩👌🏼🇨🇱
👻🎅🤠🤠
IT`S CGI!
My 'out dated' CZ-3D could hit that 9" Merc. Np. I know all the newb's don't believe it but that is good as I will get deep coins they miss 😂
I believe it but that is also a $700+ machine right? These are both $300-
....lol...when a coin is turned sideways it gives you the most retarded depth readings... one of my most significant fines metal detecting I damn near Thrue it away because I thought it was nothing more than dog tages
You had already made your mine.. 😂 😂 i am getting the Equanox 800 and done!!. Together with my Gold Monster 1000 ..i am done buying..
