Nokta Simplex+ Waterproof Metal Detector with 11'' DD Coil

I got this for my dad and he honestly has so much fun with it. Its light, adjustable to his hight (he's kind of short). After reading the instructions he was able to properly use the product since the instructions were clear. This has multiple functionalities. My dad has found some pretty cool and valuable stuff using this product. Definitely worth it.

Fantastic machine! Packaged very well and was very easy to assemble, plugged it into my computer with the included charge/sync cable and downloaded the latest update, then charged it up , which only took 20 minutes and I've been using it for a few days now on on one charge , tested the coil with different metals right out of the box and in under 5 minutes I was out side digging coins and all sorts of stuff . The depth of this machine is amazing,was reading targets at 18 inches and discriminating between two targets just like them high priced Detector's. Was Easy to use the nox too and the pinpointer button makes zeroing in on a target way easier than anything else I ever used , bright and easy to understand and navigate readout , used the built in vibration mode several times in places where the machine could annoy other's ,and along with the very bright led light under the readout , which is perfect when you are in the woods on a good spot . I have used the Simplex Completely underwater in the river yesterday and combined with the light and vibration mode this is an amazing metal detector . I love everything about it and there's a very minimal learning curve to get used to with this. The large Vdinumber target ID is very easy to read and it's easy to avoid certain targets such as pull tabs with this machine. I like that it came with a adapter to use any set of wired headphones as I didn't buy the nokta headphones , but instead use a pair of skull candy hesh 2 in place of them . This machine has volume control for headphones , and so many other useful things to make this Detector like a caddilac . Very light too, can swing this bad boy all day long with zero issues.

Great for beginners! This thing finds thing all the way down to a can tab! Found a watch at the beach and it was about 3 feet deep! Great metal detector for the price.

Still getting to know my new detector. I do appreciate all of the high tech features and ease of use. The upper and lower arm pieces are all non-metal and seem a little less than sturdy. It’s extremely light weight which makes searches less tiring. I found gold, silver, coins, relics, costume jewelry and endless bottle caps within my first three months of use.

Now that I've had this detector for a few months and have had time to try it out, it's time for an honest review. I absolutely love this detector! I ordered a cheaper one on Amazon but quickly realized that I would get tired of it fast, due to the lack of options and settings. I then ordered this one and was happy from the second I opened the box. This is my first (technically 2nd) detector, so I can't compare to any other brands, but I'm very happy with what I've learned about this one so far.It's waterproof, so cleanup after a day on the beach is super easy, just rinse and go! Speaking of being waterproof, that also helps prevent sand and whatnot from getting in the detector if you set it down in the sand.The collapsible shaft is a great feature that I hadn't thought about before. We have 4 kids, so when we pack the van full, I still have room for the detector in the back. I'm 6'2" and the extended length is plenty to be able to get a proper swing. I'd say it'd possibly be good for someone up to around 6'4" or so, depending on their arm length. There's a small indentionon the bottom of the shaft that shows where the rear adjustment should line up. There are also numbers on the side of the lower shaft section (1-6) for height adjustments. Very user friendly!My father-in-law and I went detecting recently and I was hitting targets 8-10" deep, in dry sand, and his detector never hit. Once I dug half way down or so, his detector would hit the target. He uses one of the $100 detectors here on Amazon (Bounty Hunter).I was mistaken when reading reviews, but this detector will NOT work with any wireless headphones, other than Notka branded headphone. I ordered the set without the headphones. It came with an adaptor for headphones, but keep in mind, it's a 1/4" adaptor. You'll need an 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor to use it. Another side affect of having an adaptor is sound quality. I've never used a 1/4" to 1/8" adaptor without getting scratchy noise or nothing at times. I'd definitely order the wireless set if you plan to use headphones. You CAN order the headphones later and still be about the same price overall.I'm no expert, by any stretch of the imagination, but I know this detector is great for the price and features. Very easy to setup and use. I'm still learning the sounds and vdi numbers on the display, but it's coming to me pretty quickly.
