Nokta Makro Simplex+ Waterproof Metal Detector

Product Information

Whether you are searching for coins, artifacts or jewelry on land or underwater, SIMPLEX+ is the most cost-effective yet durable detector featuring a modern and lightweight style. I have a useful article on metal detector settings and what they do here. The Nokta Makro Simplex also benefits from in-built rechargeable batteries that are charged via a USB cable.

A great way to familiarise yourself with all of the Nokta Makro Simplex + features is to take a look through the user manual. It still however is a single frequency machine. Currently, multi frequency technology is the talk of the town. In 2019 both Noktaand Minelabreleased new detectors for this market of detectorist and became heavy competition for the pre-existing Garrett Ace series. Garrett’s Ace detectorshad dominated in this area for quite some time, but the new technology and features within the Simplex and Vanquish machines generally replaced Garrett machines as choice in this price range for many people. These machines include the Garrett 300i and the Fisher F44 amongst others. The Simplex + beats these other single frequency machines hands down in my opinion also. Ferrous metals signal volume. You can make it higher or lower, or simply set it silent, to remove signals to ferrous metals targets altogether

Package Contents

The settings that you can see on the screen include volume, ground balance, ferrous metals volume, discrimination segments, frequency shift, wireless headphones mode, vibration mode, lights, and flashlight. All settings are tuned by pressing the buttons to the right or to the left, or using up and down buttons. As mentioned, Nokta are always pushing for improvements in their products. The Nokta Makro Simplex + is no different. There have been several software improvements since its launch. Minelab offer their 3-year warranty on the X-TERRA PRO, which covers the control box and coil, whereas, Simplex only offer 2 years. We generally find both of these brands to be reliable and hope that you shouldn’t need any repairs within this time, but it’s worth noting. The Vanquish series do win over here however with their pioneering multi frequency technology over the single frequency Simplex +.

The Ultra model includes low latency Bluetooth wireless audio, allowing you to connect to the Bluetooth headphones of your choice,

The first waterproof metal detector on the market offering extreme depth and high-end features at an entry-level price! It also benefits from an “Iron Volume” function which is a really useful thing. This allows you to hear the iron in the ground when hunting in All Metal but to turn volume of the iron very low. The benefits of multi frequency technology is too big for this article but I have another article that explains all about Multi Frequency technology here. To give you a very rough idea about the new metal detector – Nokta Simplex is a cheap (comparatively, of course, but still), both for ground and water search, and very easy to operate. Plus, it is compatible with wireless headphones, and has a DD coil in the kit. Although it’s difficult to assess across different machines, larger coils typically provide a greater ability to see targets which lie deeper in the ground. For example, the Vanquish metal detector comes with 3 different coil options, V8 (8”), V10 (10”) and the V12 (12”) if you fitted the V12, you could find targets at a greater depth, whereas the V8 would see at ashallower depth, but most likely in greater detail, as the same amount of energy flows through the coil regardless of which size you have fitted. Some detectorists love large coils to help them find the deepest of targets and some prefer smaller, for better target separation and to be more precise at the shallower depths.

The other side of this part has flashlight, and is equipped with two outlets. The metal detector can be charged using any of these two outlets, but in fact one of them is for connection with the coil, while the other has a leak-proof cover and fits for wired headphones. So yeah, already due to its well-designed structure Nokta Simplex made a splash before it was even released, and now it takes the market by storm. What are the Most Important Features to Pay Attention To? The Simplex Ultra from Nokta is top of the new generation of Simplex metal detectors with professional features at an entry level price. The shaft of the detector is compact and collapsible – you can not only suit it for people of different height, but also collapse it for transportation. The device is very lightweight, only 2.8 lbs, enabling even teenagers or women to treasure hunt effectively.If you said yes to one of the above, SIMPLEX+ is the sole choice that covers it all. We are proud to offer our first entry level detector, the SIMPLEX+, which makes quality metal detecting available and affordable for all users.

We have dedicated Simplex + users in my club that have found some fantastic items at great depths. I have also been blown away by how deep and fast it is between iron. There is no dispute with me that the Nokta Makro Simplex + is a very capable machine which has demonstrated some extroadinary feats finding targets that many other machines wouldn’t have. SIMPLEX+ will vibrate upon detection of target! Ideal for the hearing impaired users as well as for detection underwater. However, the detectors do look quite different. The Simplex is a little more dated in terms of styling and design than the X-TERRA PRO, which is to be expected with approximately 4 years between their release. The X-TERRA PRO almost looks like a hybrid of other Minelab detectors, borrowing elements of the shaft and coil design from the Vanquish range and the control box style from the Equinox detectors. It looks really modern, but one thing that may be either a clincher or a deal breaker for some is the colour. The X-TERRA PRO almost a military, camouflaged green colour which we like, but some might not. The Simplex is once again commendable in its degree of target Id’s, offering 0-99 options for target identification. However, once again the X-TERRA PRO has more to offer here. The new generation of Minelab Equinox models(Equinox 700 and Equinox 900) were released in 2023 and provided a new extended target Id range from -19-99 and this technology seems to have been integrated into the X-TERRA PRO. This is amazing as it provides a level of detail on the target for the user that you wouldn’t see anywhere in this price range. The X-TERRA PRO has 30 discrimination segments, each one of which can be used to omit 4 of the target Id numbers, whereas the Simplex has fewer.Together with the original coil included into the kit, plus updatable software for the metal detector, these two additional products will make your metal detecting sessions even more productive. The more coils are available, the more flexibility you can expect for various targets and locations, and for various search conditions overall. SP22 – Waterproof 8.5″ DD Search Coil Shaft retracts down to 63 cm (25"). Great for easy transport, storage as well as diving! Lightweight (1.3kg / 2.9Ibs) Nokta Simplex is a compact machine, totally waterproof and can be used on the depth of up to 10 feet. The shaft is collapsible, and the whole thing weighs only 1.3 kgs/ 2.8 lbs. The device supports wireless headphones, which is a huge benefit for newbie detectorists.
