Thanks for this excellent comparison between these two machines. Great video and for all the effort for making this test.

I went with the Simplex+ and I'm very happy with it. Thanks for the test.

I agree top 3 machines for sure iv used menny but own 440 ,540 and simplex too all have their place 😁

Awesome video.....thank you. I have a nox800 and just bought the Simplex+ as my secondary. Totally agree on the build quality.

This was so informative I’m a newbie with a simplex & do most of my detecting on beaches. Thanks for taking the time to do this. Really need to get a sand scoop because I dig everything 😁

I would love to see a video that shows the discrimination and id situations where Vanquish 540 is usable and the Vanquish 340 is not. I loved this comparison video...useful demonstrations.

There is only one that I would choose and that is the Nokta Makro Simplex. Its waterproof to 10 feet, cost is 120 less, has built in rechargeable batteries, and a light for detecting at low light levels.

Both great machines for the price. But the Simplex is fully Waterproof, vibration mode, led flashlight, and the wireless Headset option which i have. Great video 👌😍

Thank you for this! I'd choose, and did choose, the Simplex because its waterproof and I live in Scotland. The built in torch is really good too. I would have loved to know what the target was that the Simplex found that the Vanquish didn't, but I'm thrilled that I haven't missed out on things because I don't have multi IQ. Thanks so much Aaron, you are a star!

Just got my Simplex+ on Thursday and going out on a dig on Sunday can’t wait 😊

Unbiased video mate. I don’t do beaches myself. I have to do a report on my Rutus 71 soon. I’ll have to ask in the Rutus group what settings for the beach. Simplex is impressing a lot of happy users. Well done.

Heard good things about the Rutus!

Looking for my first machine. Am beginning to like the Nokta Simplex, mainly as I plan to do most of my detecting on various beaches on the south coast and in Cornwall. I also like the fact that it's fully waterproof and it's great value for money. My little lad also wants a machine now.

Good video. Appreciate the extra work you had to do for your viewers to test these units, instead of just going out and hunting and having fun. Interesting to know that a multi frequency detector has chatter on the beach and that how far a single frequency tech has come that it is not too chatty on the beach. Wonder if the Nox would chatter too,,, I guess if it is the same "core" tech as the Vanquish. Interesting, Thank you

Apart from the water proofing, i brought the nokta makro because on first sight the vanquish looks like a 90's kids video console 😅 (sorry) I do like the tone sounds of the vanquish. Wireless headphones are awesome! Make sure the usb plug is the right voltage (as they dont come with one now) Interesting video bud 👍

Bit late on this one but Simplex for me just for the fact it’s waterproof and for the price just a better machine. I love my Nox 800 but don’t like the look of the red Garrett lookalike Vanquish. To be honest I think another reason is that the Simplex is just a joy to use, don’t ask me why but there’s just something about a simple turn on and go less fussy machine that just puts a smile on your face when using it. Great unbiased fair review. Hard to believe on your roundup that the Simplex is the cheaper machine.

Mmmm... makes me wonder! Thanks... I learned plenty - but the confusion still rules! 😁😁 In my mind, that is!!

I have a Nox 800, and a simplex. I bought the simplex to use at our caravan in Leysdown the Isle of Sheppey. The simplex is a nightmare there. It is so sparky. I have turned down the ground balance to zero. But I still have to turn the senseativity down to 3 maybe four bars only.. And thats on the dryish sand. I would love to try the vanquish there to see what the differance is, with the multi tones.

I'm sticking with the Simplex+ I have it and I love it!! I know the Simplex can find the tiniest pieces of metal that I can't see. I must use my pinpointer to find it. These lil tiny pieces can be 10 inches down. Thank you for doing the test. Shows all my research payed off for choosing the best machine for me. I will be going to our many Beaches, and waterways with my Simple+. HH

Thanks for the info. I think the Simplex will suit my beginners needs best. Near home I will be doing some beach and river, as well as a lot of fields and woodland. On holidays will be a lot of beach and water detecting.

As a simplex user I would stick with what I have but the minelab is also a great machine great video 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for the video Aron. It would be interesting to see what both can do in the wet sand on the waters edge.

For me it would be the Vanquish. I prefer the tones and would always keep a cover on it anyway so not being water proof doesn't really bother me. If you are going to sell yours Arron then you know who to contact! 😁 Another great video. I always look forward to the next one 👍

Arron great video mate, Both machines preformed very well cant argue with that but Simplex would win for me as its the fully waterproof one and like you say the vanquish just a little bit garrett esk. Great review mate nothing really between them in working mode ATB ... Dave

I'm happy with my simplex. Not used it on the beach yet, but going to do so in the next couple of days as I'm on holiday in scotland currently and have about it with me. The vanquish looks ok, but I'm not keen on the colour and shape, simply not my taste. Great vid arron, good comparison too. Thanks.

I got the Simplex purely because it's very good for the price and it's waterproof and light. I suffer with a nasty genetic bone problem that causes me a lot of pain and weight is everything. I used to lift safes out of the floor just to give you perspective.

Appreciate the good and honest comparison between the to machines. One suggestion, do a 90% swing over the target for a check for consistency of the signal.

I felt that was a very fair test between the Vanquish and the Simplex Aaron. Both machines seem fairly even. But I think I still prefer the Simplex over the Vanquish. Just personal preference. And the fact that it's waterproof to 10 feet it rains a lot here in Arkansas. Enjoy the video Aaron keep it up and keep up the beach videos I love the beach very much so. Toodaloo!

Vanquish 440 would have been a fairer test. Bear in mind the 440 only has a 10" coil but is probably the direct rival to the Simplex price wise.

I have the simplex and love it besides the pin pointer interference. I also bought the vanquish 340 for my son when he gets old enough to use it. lol. I can also use it for a friend. Thanks for the upload.

Nice comparison vid Aaron.👍

These were the two machines I was deciding on when buying my first detector. So I bought the simplex and then the coil shorted out on my third session out. So I bought the Vanquish 540 to hold me over until the coil came in. After using both of the machines quite a bit since then I have to tell you the Simplex is the better machine for me and I sold my Vanquish. The tones on the Simplex are so much sharper stronger and give you much more information on the target than the generic sounding Vanquish tones in my opinion. It also does better in the Trashy Parks we have here with iron then the Vanquish does, and on the beach be waterproof makes it a no-brainer. The Simplex is frankly a coin finding machine. Just my two cents...

South Coast Detecting You switch from beach mode to park mode but keep the ground balance of beach mode. That way you are still in beach mode but you can now remove notching completely as park mode allows this. I don’t know if that made sense....

Just wish it was possible to change the tones on the Simplex (I have one) to something a bit less harsh.

I know for sure which one I’m buying now. Thanks👍

Just watched the video again, and you mention that both machines are chatty on the beach. So if that is the case I bet the vanquish will be just as bad on Leysdown beach as the Simplex. So will give the Simplex a bit longer and see how I get on with it after another month. I must admit I do like it, because it is waterproof, and I have rechargable batterys. I have fitted a bluetooth sender to it, so I use earbuds which are so much better that a wired headset. I don't think I could ever go back to a wired headset again. All the best Arron and keep up the videos. Nubsey aka Nigel

A lot of people are misrepresenting the price difference. With ease, you can get a 540 Pro Pack for $400 USD shipped. Checking about 10 dealers the cheapest quote I got on the Simplex with Wireless Headphones was $320 shipped. $80 difference gets you the useful 8" coil and Multi-IQ, and a machine that works the iron and trash a lot better than the SImplex. The only deep Simplex mode does terrible in the trash as far as recovery speed, Park mode loses a ton of depth. The Vanquish outshines it in most any dirt.

@@SouthCoastDetecting Ty sir . can't wait to get the new simplex !

I like the fact that it does pick up your iron coin . { Vanquish ) in my country some of my coins are made out of full iron, so I would not want to discriminate my iron out. I like that it doesn`t have the built in battery which means I should be able to use my own rechargeable double AA batterys to power it up. Would like to know how well would it work on salt water beaches at low tide. The companys are makeing a big mistake by makeing detectors with built in batterys, if they made them to operate on doulble AA batterys I would think a lot more of us would want to buy them, & the dealers would sell more detectors. I have seen some very good detectors i would have loved to buy, but there is no way i want a built in battery operated detector.

I wouldn't go as far as saying "The only thing sets the simplex apart from the vanquish is just waterproof" the firmware is upgradable the minelab is not. You do such a fine job on the comparison videos, detailed information, on site demonstrations, just brilliant, what no one seems to mention though is "While your detecting with the Vanquish, how do we know people are not thinking you tore out a stop sign and swinging it? J/K" Like you I got them both and just can't wait to get out, I tried the simplex a couple of times and the real only beef I had or mini gripe is I wish the lower shaft was just a bit longer say four inches, I mean its plenty long now but extended out full it becomes a bit wobbly and having more of the shaft in makes it more stationary. If you have a chance to hunt an area that has terrible emi that you have hunted before and had problems with other machines, try the simplex, that machine did so good in places I had major problems with higher end models, that really surprised me. Thanks for the show and advice, well taken.
