    though I had some problem with sea water It also kzread.infoUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

    And save the money that you are finding and then after a couple of years then you can Afford the X-Terra Pro and that's how I bought the Original Simplex + and I was using a Teknetics Detectors and now I have the X-Terra Pro and it's a totally different Detector than anything else that I have ever owned and it's the first one of the Minelabs Detector's that I was proud of what it's capable of telling me about the target and I Coin Shoot and I love the knowledge that it knows and the Minelab engineering team for the X-Terra Pro.....

    Imo i don't believe any company is going to kill another unless there is some New technology that's being used or the company decides there is no need for R&D or an improvement(Garrett). So far all Metal detectors operate the same way some better then others obviously. I love the Legend and am completely happy with it, but to be honest i was never impressed with the simplex+ not one time i tried to like it but i guess it's to be expected when i was already using the nox 800 and a AT pro before that. I still have it but it's been collecting dust for the past 2 1/2 years. In a nutshell the competition between companies is how we get better machine's. Look how fast and powerful the smart phone came from 10 years ago. 1st generation smartphones had more computing power and 100's of times faster then the computer's nasa used to put a man on the moon. I also like that the newer machine's are upgradable.

I have a Simplex for my everyday detecting and a Gold kruzer for my prospecting. Need a good wet salt water detector and I'll have my bases covered. GPAA gold show will be here in the next month. That's where I'll pick up my next detector. Hopefully I can come to a conclusion by then.

    I had to go back and refresh my memory on the Manufacturer’s Suggested List Price of the first device tested. It’s currently $10 higher than the XTPro but from the current demonstrations by Calabash and Others in the MD Community it sure is obvious that the XTPro is superior and not by a little but by a lot and it appears to be superior to many sub $600 devices currently being marketed in the US and abroad. Stellar results at a bargain price.

But not trying field which is simplex best depth and it does make a difference, doesn't use all of its tools. But it still may not have done well vs the x terra pro I don't know if it would or wouldn't. Good video.

Geography is a major factor in mineralization content. I’m not doubting your point about ground balance, I was merely making a suggestion based on my use of the machine in my region, not going down the proverbial rabbit hole as you put it. The machine has preset modes that you can’t fine turn as in higher end machines, but by setting ground balance in beach mode and then shifting to another mode that might be more suitable for the soil conditions you might achieve better results. I can assure you that my comment was not meant to insult your experience. Have a nice day Sir.
