I’ve had nothing but positive results from Nokta. Currently running the Simplex Plus. My grandson is getting fired up with MDing. He actually beat me with a Bounty Hunter on the beach(fresh water lake)while I was in the water. I had tons more beer caps, pull tabs, overall finds…he had more change, bling junk jewelry. Made sure to brag on him, trying to bring him into the hobby young.
Jewelry finds are AWESOME!
I have to say, you chose an interesting location for putting your digging tool at - especially with that particular grip colour.. Maybe going to a playground with the current setup might not be the best idea, could potentially get you some critical looks from the parents. 😋
I was like 😮😮😅
Got to say I'm pretty impressed with the lite. Definitely best bang for the buck being under 200 bucks. Love those 9x5 coils. Can't beat them at the park. Happy hunting brother!
I think it works like a 200.00 machine should. Looks like a good machine for fresh drops. Nice video. Thanks😎
Am brand new to detecting and just received one of these for my birthday. I’m 56 and ready to start digging! Thanks so much for the review and demonstration. I subscribed to your channel.
I bought one 2 weeks ago. Really love the recovery speed on it
Actually, it looks and sounds good. Am looking for a detector for my 8year old grand nephew. This looks like it hits all the spots. He likes my legend. So thanks for trying this out. I think I'm sold on the lite.
I love your videos! I was impressed with your review on the Nokta Simplex Lite. So much so that I ordered one. On sale at $179 currently on Amazon. 4:48
Change hasn't been coming too plentiful lately.. but still out there to be found. I do like the simpler machines for the parks.. just gets me out there digging! However for the beaches.. I like something a little extra too, gives me a little more confidence out there running a nice stable machine I know can punch pretty deep. 👍
Great video as always Austin, between your videos and Paystreak's the Simplex seems like a formidable machine for the price. Was never a fan of the squeaky tones. Keep the videos coming I always enjoy your hunts 👍
Metal detectors are a big preference game, gonna have to listen to the tones all day so consider that when buying for sure! Thanks man 👍
Ive swung the Simplex+ for awhile and upgraded to the Ultra a couple weeks ago. Im really enjoying it, especially in 4 tone and 99 tone with pitch adjustments. I really like having 15 khz vs 12 khz from the plus, and being able to adjust recovery speeds and depth settings. It makes the bigger coil able to coin snipe as well as my Simplex plus SP24 9x5 coil.
LoL …. Beach mode sounds like a squirrel in heat !
I've got a couple of the old Simplex has but it don't think I'm going to worry getting the new one. I still want to pick up a legend though. Great hunt good little score
Seems like a very lite Detector and banging out the goodies like filling a bag in a candy store. Nice Man ... Happy Hunting
You really should have shown the built in pin pointer function in the Lite, it is reaaly amazing.
I bought the Lite on Amazon Prime day for $159. Couldn't pass it up. My only complaint was the wobbly lower shaft. I bought a carbon fiber lower and it's awesome now. The Legend lower works on the Simplex Lite.
Nice might have to snag one, great score on the Lite!
I'm thinking about switching from a Teknetics Eurotec Pro to one of these new generations of Simplex detectors. Would the Lite be a decent upgrade or do I need a BT or Ultra to make it worth it?
I actually liked this video of the Simplex lite. The value of the coil alone makes the detector so worth buying. If I hadn't already bought my Nox900, I would probably buy this just from watching your video.
I think it was a smart choice them putting the small coil on it, it's the only reason I got it. 👍
What to buy nokta simplex lite or garrett ACE 150,what is better?
I have the Garrett Ace 200 and while it's a good machine.. Simplex Lite offers a lot more for the price. 👍
Hey! Great Video! I have bought 2 of these detectors and gave the first one to a friend. Bought another one for under $200.00.Mostly because of your review. I also have 2 Legends. They are a lot more complicated than the Simplex Lite. Great detector for beginners @ a great price. Thank you>
Thanks for another entertaining and informative vid from fellow UA-camr metal detectorists in Buffalo, NY. We love your channel!
Wow, a great machine at a great price. The Lite costs less than the CoilTek 10x5 coil I bought for my Nox 800!! Looks like a good detector for travel also and it would be a great one as a backup. Great video and tutorial!! Thanks!!😎👍😎
That coil alone would probably cost $120.00. I'm thinking of getting the lite & the ultra, 2 detectors and 2 coils for around $500.00 .👍 Thanks for the video.
That was my reasoning for buying the lite. Such great value for money. Perfect for not too deep detecting
All I got at the beach the other day with my much more expensive Nokta Legend was $1.82. You beat my hunts yet again! Nice, first day out you paid off 1% of the cost of your machine. Another hundred hunts and it will pay for its self. That's all you need for modern park hunting. Most deep silver was already found years ago in most areas. Now I'm mostly an actual treasure hunter that needs maximum depth for places like the Treasure Coast were the things I seek are likely to be deep in the historic sediment layers.
For a beginner and with a reasonable price to get someone interested in the hobby!!! 👍👍👍👍
I took the Legend and the Simplex out to some parks and the Simplex Lite is so stable compared to the Legend. I did notice the battery drains quicker on the new generation Simplex.
I have that same problem with the Legend, doesn't matter if I'm in single frequency it's kind of always sparky for me. I'll keep an eye on the battery of the Lite, haven't charged it yet.
Really enjoy your videos, you explain a lot and I already have the new ultra and my sister has been on hunts with me and she’s really interested in detecting, I think this machine you have here is the perfect machine I’d like to get her. It has the perfect amount of settings she could set it up easily and I think she would appreciate this video I’m going to get her to watch it. Wish you the best on all your hunts, take care and thanks for making this video. Great finds! Did you figure out what the cross you found was made of, was it silver or white gold? Or was it a junker?
Have a brilliant weekend u legend 👍 😊😊😊
It's pretty good. You can't beat it, for the price. I like that it comes with the smaller coil. Overall it's the Simplex plus, with less features. Perfect for beginners. Stay dirty 👍
OOPS! 😂
Great video on this machine. Ive been thinking of adding md'n to my outdoor hobbies for a while now. This line up is very attractive when considering the features at the cost. The Lite being the base model appears to be a good starter machine. One question i have tho, do you feel limited by the gold/silver detecting with this machine? Would you see yourself starting for the first machine with the Lite vs the plus or ultra? TIA And thank you for sharing!
Love the videos, but PLEASE move that handle that's hanging down in front of your belt. That nearly gave me a heart attack before I realized what it was.
Had to stop a few seconds in when talking about the guy on the box. Sure he metal detects. He digs only IRON signals. Hahahah.
Man, for the price, I'd say a great deal for park style hunting, I'd love to run it at an older house lawn and see what kind of depth you can get
Hey bro, this was a good video. That machine seems to be a good buy. I am looking forward to your next video.
Hello mate, what pinpointer you using in this video?
Cheers
Good video.. I am currently on the fence between the lite or the x terra pro. A couple of friends have both machines and seem to like them both. X Terra pro is on sale locally for $219 so it makes it a tough decision.
Go with what feels right to you, both good detectors! 👍
My guess is Nokta will not include any firmware update on this model.
Great detector Awesome stuff I want to try the multi-frequency machines😊
I've had good luck with the Vanquish, pretty good starter Multi-IQ 👍
Great video I really want to get a metal detector but prices keeping me out,until now the simplex is definitely affordable thanks for sharing 🎉
Nifty machine, waiting for stubbled fields are ploughed to test the ultra on it. Have a good weekend and finds.✌🏼
I'm going to buy my Dad one of these. I like that its a only a couple hundred doll hairs.
I'm brand new to medal detectors, how do you use the pinpoint and grounding on the lite?
Sorry but what's with ware you keep your little tool, there....why hang it there..
Accept pulltabs, reject everything else.
Pretty good little unit! I have the Ultra and I like it.
What about the battery being a chargeable? I think I would prefer AA's or 9V, that way if your battery dies, you get new one's, these rechargeable one's once they don't hold a charge, you have what? a nice paper weight? What are your thoughts on this? I really would like to know.
You aren't wrong, a few years down the line it'll be hard to know if the companies will still support these machines. I like having a rechargeable battery personally... but you may even be able to get some rechargeable AAs or 9V.
Looks like a nice little starter. Build quality?
I've never had/used a metal detector before. Would you recommend the simplex lite over the bounty hunters? Also how has this simplex lite been going for you?
I think the Simplex lite is a good pickup for beginners, the smaller coil will help you recover targets a little easier. Rechargeable battery, waterproof.. hard to go wrong! 👍
Great hunt for a cheaper machine , i run the Ledgend with the lg24 , was also having the interference on it when I turned on pinpointer , found out do a frequency shift and interference goes away, but great hunt and keep the videos coming !
Nice tip! Keep on swingin' it! 👍
How do you do a frequency shift as I bought a Pulse dive pinpointed & use it with the Simplex Lite & the interference is terrible
Not familiar with the simplex , but on the Ledgend you have a settings icon that has a short line ,a long line and a short line , and 2 sideways arrows pointing in opposite directions , go to that icon , lift the coil out in front of you and hold steady , press the pinpoint button and then it will go through the channels (1-13) then it will select the quietest channel , hope this helps
I have a simplex plus with a small and large coil . I use small all the time love it works great! 😅
Thank you for the info. How ironic that I saw this video right after we ordered our first simplex! We had been saving up to get it so I am very excited to start hunting with it.
How cool that you found a crucifix the first time you tried the machine! And tons of quarters too
Always fun learning a new machine, hope you have fun out there! 🤠
For 200 bucks you just cant beat it.
Vanquish 340 or simplex lite 🧐for a secondary machine
What are you swinging right now? I think it's honestly kind of personal preference. Haven't used the lite enough to speak a lot on it but it seems pretty dang good for the price. 🤠 But I've always had good luck with my Vanq 440.. tough choice.
@@TreasureOutdoors right now I’m swinging a ace 250 and a xterra pro but thinking of retiring the 250…I may get a vanquish because of the multi and it’s a lot cheaper and great for the money and since I don’t have a multi machine or I may save and get a legend a lot of thinking to do lol
Excelente equipo, es muy bueno, lo recomiendo yo tengo uno y me ha dado muy buenos resultados, saludos cordiales desde chile para usted compañero 🙋♂️🇨🇱⛏️🗝️💍👍🤝👏
options.. Favoring the mind lab exterra pro right now.. Not sure which metal detector I'm gonna get yet.
Can you use this Simplex Lite underwater !?
Yes it's waterproof, not sure how deep it'll go but it should work.
Digging pennies is a waste.
😂 get out really you've swung a metal detector. No way. Great opening line 😀 Awesome job. And thank for sharing
The kids here don’t go back to school until September 🇨🇦. Parks are busy
That's a big treat
Might have to get one .like it
That guy in the box is one of the guys who does videos for Nokta. He actually does detect😂. I THINK he may be one of the engineers
Nice crucifix 😍
I might have to get me one of those 9“ x 5“ coils for my ultra. I loved my 9“ x 5“ coil for my Simplex +.
I belive it did really well, I'd give it a BIG thumbs up ...just under 200.00
My grandson has a bounty hunter I think that I will buy him the simplex thanks for the information
I got a used Lite for $100 and like it a lot.
Great deal! 👍
Big Thanks ❤ with your videos I have chance to bye some chip and not bad detector 😊 wait for a water testing in a seaside 😅
Fun. Nice beginning machine. Still trying to get my LG24 coil. Stock coil on my legend too heavy and this old guy gets tired.
Does the big beefy bloke come in the box
If he digs the signals for me, I hope so. Also would be a nice body guard. 🤣
GOOOLLLDDD DABLOOONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DOUBLOONS RAINING DOWN FROM THE SKY!
Metal detector math: I found a penny with a 500$ metal detector = free money
INSTANT PROFIT! ..... wait.... $499.99 to go!
@@TreasureOutdoors ha
@@TreasureOutdoors you're my favorite UA-camr
That thing looks like it picks up more than costly metal detectors do.
Dude, I will say, (probably the perv in me) at the beginning of the video, your pinpointer position was a bit disturbing! 😂😂😂🍞
😂 You aren't the first to say that!
Are all detectors water proof?
Not all of them are, most of the coils are OK to put under the water though.
Every crucifix I've ever dug sounded like crap. Higher conducting versions sound better, the gold ones all sound terrible. lol.
Those odd shaped things sound horrible, I always think back to a little gold anchor I found... sounded worse than most foil! 😂
Can you plug headphones in somewhere?
I want one now.
Same
I like it a lot I’m seriously thinking I might need to have that detector in my collection
I returned mine after one use. I have a few other detectors but I found this unit's sound/tone was so annoying and grating. Trying out the Garrett AT Max now
Hey totally respectable, I always say I don't think there's a "best" machine... a lot of it comes down to preference! Find what you enjoy swinging and you'll find plenty with it. 👍👍
Interested How much price?
Looks like another good Nokta! Thanks for the fun video. 👍
Yes it will give the best a race for the money
Looks very good for the price and you found a Cross! I was thinking about getting the Ultra. Instead I got ANOTHER Nokta Makro Simplex! Lol! I couldn't pass it up. It was only used once and came with everything, including the SP24 Coil...for $250! Besides, I am a creature of habit !
I think you got a nice deal, always enjoyed the little SP24! 🤠
@@TreasureOutdoors Me too!
Hello Austin
Hey Gregory. :)
Just got the lite,thanks for the tutorial!
You are 💯right about the pavilions
Does the machine have a pin pointer
I enjoyed your video very much😊
My simplex goes nuts when I use my pinpointer I shut the detector off to use my pinpointer.
You might have answered already, are you going to try this detector at the beach soon?
Yes, hope to take it out soon! I don't think it'll be the BEST out there.. but hoping it'll work stable & find me something. I will be happy with a penny 😂
I'll be interested to see what it does near salt water, too. If it's stable, I'll have to consider it for my granddaughter's next detector. Thanks for this video!
I'm interested to see too, we'll give it a go soon!👍
Hi Austin, another great video. I want your opinion about a waterproof metal detector. I owned vanquish 540 and I want a waterproof detector for the beach and underwater research. I want to be waterproof, accurate, with very good discrimination, simple to use and cheap. What is your suggestion?
When you say "cheap" what's your budget? I personally think my choice might be an Equinox 600 but it's not exactly cheap, it's treated me well & never had any problems with it. I haven't yet used the new generation Simplex on the beach so I don't know how well it performs.. X-Terra Pro is a cheaper option than the Nox but it's not as accurate & possibly not quite as stable in the salt water but I still think it's a good choice for the price. Were you leaning towards any machine?
@@TreasureOutdoors My budget is max 300€ (I am from Greece) and I am leaning to Simplex new generation machines. The only problem is that they are single frequency detectors and I do not know their performance in wet sand and salty water. Also, I have seen your video with vanquish and X-Terra Pro, so the X-Terra pro is out of my list. What do you think?
I liked it. If I didn’t already have the simplex+, I’d give this one a shot. 🎉
Hello, I think they will both be good machines in different ways. Both have their strengths & weaknesses. Go with the one that speaks to you, the one that you like & fits your needs best. They will both find things just in different ways 👍
I think it did really descent.
I was thinking of getting myself a waterproof machine, and can’t decided whether to get the xterra pro or the simplex+. In the shop where I get my stuff they come at the same price. You have both so which one would you recommend?
I think they're both good but haven't used them enough side by side to choose one over the other, I say do a little research on them both & see which one speaks to you.. 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors Alright, thanks!
I like the tones on that better than my Simplex +, it doesn't sound as harsh.
The plus is a LOUD machine thats for sure
Hi m8 , I just bought a Simplex lite & am a complete novice , can you please tell me what depth this machine will find items !? 😊
Honestly I think it really depends on the size of the item...
I say do a little experimenting for yourself to get a general idea. 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors thanks bud , I,ll do that , in your opinion do you think the Simplex Lite is a good machine !?
Anyone know if you could use the stock coil from the original simplex+ with this?
Unfortunately don't think the Simplex+ coils are compatible with the new generation Simplex :/ Always a bummer...
@@TreasureOutdoors thanks for the info!
I like it for the price especially.
Nice cross
