Nokta Makro Simplex+ Waterproof Metal Detector

Product Information

The main frequency – 12 kHz– is an unusual one, because it provides a delicate balance on the brink of most popular frequencies, allowing the user to search for a wider range of metals. Most budget-friendly detectors have either lower frequencies than that. 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. We’re not going to spend a huge amount of time comparing the three Vanquish detectors and the new range of Simplex now (more on that in another blog) but instead want to see how the new X-TERRA PRO will change the marketplace for those looking to buy their first machine, or those looking for a specific detecting experience. The Ultra model includes low latency Bluetooth wireless audio, allowing you to connect to the Bluetooth headphones of your choice, The Nokta Makro Simplex plus is a mid to high range specification single frequency coin and treasure seeking metal detector that was launched after the Minelab Equinox 600 and 800.

Being launched after the Minelab Equinox range, it is obvious that Nokta did some homework and emulated aspects of the Equinox, at least the user interface on their LCD screen. 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. You cannot afford a high-end detector but you simply want extreme depth and the basic features of a high-end device?

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 Simplex+ is waterproof and can be used underwater on the depth of up to 10 feet. Logically enough, it supports wireless headphones. Also, vibration mode is available, which is extremely cool when you’re underwater. Vibration mode instead of audio signal is also handy in places where you do not want to make much noise.

This smaller yet still one-size-fits-all round search loop is very universal and easy to manage. It will cover complicated places, especially if you hunt for small targets like coins or jewelry. I believe it is also good for underwater search, due to its size and shape. You will be able to comb the location really thoroughly with proper depth and stable performance of the machine. SP24 – Waterproof 9.5″x5″ DD Search Coil The Nokta SIMPLEX New Generation series boasts all new aesthetics, enhanced technical performance, fully waterproof up to 5 m (16 ft) and all at an impressive reduced weight of 1.2kg (2.6lbs). It can confidently be used as a “switch on & go” machine with minimal fuss ground balancing functionality. The benefits of ground balancing is essential for the serious enthusiast.It does unfortunately place it firmly at the mid range Minelab Vanquish 440 that uses multi frequency technology. This technology opens up a whole new world of finding previously undetectable targets. Shaft retracts down to 63 cm (25"). Great for easy transport, storage as well as diving! Lightweight (1.3kg / 2.9Ibs)

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.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. While the X-TERRA PRO has; All metal, Field 1 and 2, Beach 1 and 2, Park 1 and Park 2. So slightly more pre-set options on the X-TERRA PRO. Many standard features are present like notch discrimination and “frequency shifting” which allows you detect close to another user and not suffer from electromagnetic interference.

The Nokta Makro Simplex + in my opinion is one of the best single frequency metal detectors in its class.
