Great test. Thanx man

I have been using the sp24 coil for some time now and was very surprised with how deep it was being quite a bit smaller. I only really use the sp28 for more coverage now and don’t really take the sp24 off. Great vid , loving your channel , take care and. Hh

I never knew George fifth pennies were made of bronze, I have one and I always thought it was copper haha

Hi Adam! I know this an old video but I'm considering getting the SP24 coil for my Simplex and your video came up on Google! Whoop!🙌🙌

Keep in Mind, Air tests and back yard Garden Tests are for reference. Each coil handles different ground conditions differently.. (From Mineralization, separation to obstacles..). Good job Documenting.🤙🏻

I own all 3 coils have for a while did not have much luck with 2 other than scrap, but with in half a hour of putting the Sp24 coil on dug my first coin and a nice little bit of zoomorphic and they were deep could just hear a little scratch.

Thanks. My new Simplex+ will be delivered soon. In the meantime, I'm learning a lot from your videos.

Great video Adam, thanks for sharing your knowledge and time with us all. I found the stock coil useless on the beach but the SP24 coil was pulling coins up for fun. Nothing old but plenty of finds. My video, Lancashire Lad Detecting #1 video is using the SP24

Smaller coil will surely save time with the digging. Happy belated birthday. 🎁🎁🎁

Great video as always. But can I add having used both coils on sand wet and dry. The sp24 wins hands down.. I can run the sp24 on full power where as the 11" coil I have to lower the power down by 2 or 3

thanks for sharing I have a Simplex + that I use when I go to look for arrowheads and get good targets

Happy birthday I have bin waiting for you to get the SP24 I have had mine for 6 mouths and have had better finds deeper finds so quiet you will think it's not working you will find you can run it flat out and get very fue false signals have fun good luck Andy a fan of your channel

I use the sp24 coil 99% of the time since im usually in places that have alot of trash like parks and schools. Im just used to it and think its a great coil, havnt notices giving up any depth but have wondered about it. Good video!!!!

I really loved the video and especially the fact that you showed the face of the simplex showing the numbers.

@DTEKTSUSSEX

Жыл бұрын

Hi Ron! Thanks for the lovely comment 😀 The depth is a guide rather than something to be taken literally. It assumes the target is a coin about 3/4 in diameter. Each level is 'roughly' 2 inches. Bear in mind though that if the target is bigger than 3/4 inches, the machine will think it's closer to the surface and if it's smaller it will think it's further away.

Very Very Nice Live demo in coins.

Great videos

I have only used the SP24.. I like small coils so easy in brushy areas.. even on my trusty White's 600 DI pro I mostly only used a small five inch coil.

Great video. I plan on doing something similar tomorrow. I was out for the first time with my sp24 today on a field which is usually full of signals. But after digging shallow lead for a while I only had 2 decent finds in 4 hours! Ok one was a beautiful Roman Siliqua which made up for the day, but I ended up going to another field and putting the stock coil back on as I felt the sp24 wasn’t performing well at all. It could just be me, it could just be “one of those days” but it didn’t feel totally right. I was on ploughed fields with sensitivity maxed and a quick air test of my Siliqua was only getting about 6-8 inches. Admittedly I did try later with the stock and it was around the same which is why I want to do the test you did tomorrow and compare. It’s possible I’ve got a dud coil maybe? Will find out tomorrow hopefully. I enjoy watching your videos, very informative and well made. Definitely a good inspiration for my channel going forward!

Hi, love your videos- I have this machine a few days and haven't been digging those really soft, quiet signals with no ID, mainly because they usually turn out to be false signals. I get a lot of quiet (and sometimes not so quiet) false signals which turn out to be nothing at all. So I just dig the definite ones. Any tips? I have tried auto ground balancing but often it'll just stay the same. This was the same with my AT pro

Hi Conor, Thank-you! Glad you're enjoying the videos! It may depend on the kind of land you're detecting on. Sounds like the ground is mineralised to a point so it may just be they way it will be. If the false signals tend to be in the low iron range you could try turning the iron volume down. Or dropping the sensitivity a bit. Alternatively, try ground balancing manually in case the mineralisation is throwing off the auto balance function. Hope that helps! Good luck and happy hunting! 😃😎👍

Detecting on soil or sand will reduce the depth compared to an air test. The amount it'll reduce by will vary depending on type of soil and environmental conditions. That's why I only use air tests to make comparisons, rather than assess actual depth 😊👍

Correct me if I'm wrong but does the smaller coil seem much quieter and less chatty?

@DTEKTSUSSEX

Hi Steve, Yes, smaller coils...especially elliptical ones, will be less chatty than the larger ones. Smaller surface area means less space for interference to register. That's not to say the bigger coils are particularly chatty or unstable when the machine is set for the conditions 😊😎👍

With the normal coil and that comes with the simplex when you buy it. reference depth let's say it says 3bars i dig down 3 bars nothing but it still says 3 bars I repeat the same procedure 3 time's and it says exactly the same thing 3bars.even though I've dug down 3times that what does this mean.in other words if I came across a target shouldn't it Have shown how deep it was the first time.

Hi Paul, The depth indicator assumes the target is about an inch in diameter. If it's smaller than that it'll show deeper than it actually is and if it's bigger it'll show shallower than it actually is. It's an indication rather than something to be taken literally 👍

Do you have any way to do your depth test in a garden of buried coins because you don't have a accurate reading in the air as a buried coins that would be the tell all of the depth of the detector and the coils like the SP 24 and the 28 or even try all the coil line that they have for the detectors

Someone didn't listen... Air tests are fine for COMPARISON purposes. As I clearly stated in the video the ACTUAL depth in the ground will vary but the relative change between the two variables (coils) will be the same. Medium stays the same. One variable changes.

Hi Adam I hope you get this. My name is David from Australia and I started watching your youtube clips around the beginning of this year. I am new at using the Nokta Makro Simplex I bought late last year, and am somewhat impressed with it. Before getting the Simplex, I have been using my much cherished Quest X10 MD which I still have, and I dare say, there is some similarities with the Simplex + and Quest X10 in the control units maybe you could do a comparison in how well the preform. Anyway this is not why I am sending you a msg on here. The question is, I mistakenly bought the Nokta Impact IM24 9.5"x5" DD Search Coil, which I thought it to be the SP 24 DD search coil, because they look the same to me. I am going to return this coil back to the store in Aus, where I bought it from, but I am just wondering, can you tell me if the Nokta Impact IM24 9.5"x5" DD Search Coil compatible with the Simplex or is it only programmed for the Impact? I am asking you because of fair amount of knowledge and experience of the Simplex, and which I have taken on board some of your knowledge, which has worked for me very well.. I hope you don't mind me communicating this this way, but I just like to know ASAP

The main thing is people say like you did it helps in trashy areas and I’ve heard it also kind of stabilize the machine. I think with the stock coils sometimes it’s a little overloaded and this kind of makes it more stable and not as jumpy. I appreciate your quick response and opinion.

Interesting test, but very flawed Adz. If there is no target ID on the screen....in noisy ground the signal return will be washed away by mineralisation, leading to NO faint signal like you showed as your maximum depths. The Simplex also dosen’t respond to a brisk swing speed as the microprocessors aren’t able to decipher all the information properly. Maybe do the test again and this time use an in- ground, un- dug high target like a big silver or Copper coin as the tester. Air tests are very unreliable

Everything you say is correct which is precisely why I never use them to assess the depth in isolation. I only ever use them, as in this case, as a comparison. I tested one coil under one set of circumstances (in this case through the air) and tested the other coil under the same circumstances to get an idea of what differences, if any, there were between the two. Of course the number of inches will change in different mediums and environmental conditions.

These types of tests are tricky because it's hard to show the viewer exactly what I'm seeing and hearing. A slight change to the camera angle can affect how the coil alignment looks, the camera adjusting for a change in ambient noise can make the signals sound different.
