Nokta Simplex Lite Metal Detector with 9.5” Waterproof DD Search Coil, Vibration for Detecting Underwater, Beach and All Metal Search Modes

These will flood the used market soon. They are GREAT entry level detectors. Easy to order, use and discover things buried beneath. At this price it's almost impossible not to pick one up to try. That's why in a year everyone will be putting it in their garage sales or posting it to Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist. Get it here with a warranty or try your luck used, it's going to find you things itlf you take it out. Tested it this year at the salt water beach and had no trouble, I was leaning towards the Legend because of salt water use but this machine did FINE for me in the ocean and on wet sand. It's sturdy enough to pickup and save a stingray from the beach and sensitive enough to pick up a rusty staple 8" down in hard packed clay dirt. Stupid staples .. anyway get beeping !! Oh absolutely waterproof to 10' for me, I didn't push the 16' Max and be sure to read about O-RING material and recommendations for salt water gear and what if any lubricant should be used after cleaning yours. I love this machine and grab it first every time unless it's a huge field, then switch coils. The little guy does okay for beach and excellent in forest land where you need to get into smaller places. It's weight is the best in class; hints the name.. LITE. The angle is acceptable for the handle but I find it a bit tiring after awhile, my thumb ends up slapping in and taking the handle to the ropes for a tight swing. The shaft is fine and locks up enough for the small coils weight. It's a bit bouncy with bigger coils but slow down and focus on your swing. I will add padding to the arm cup to make up the dead space that would accept the incredible hulks forearms in a puffy. If you're a power lifter and decide to metal detect, this will fit you! Unless you are really tall.. I'm maxed out on shaft length and I'm a touch over 6' with a long slow swing. Happy Detecting ! As of today the only update 7.01 lowers the brightness on the low setting for the screen. It is absolutely too bright at night and destroyed my night vision. The update fixed this immediately apparent issue, the cord is included for USB connection for updates.

This is a great product and simple to use . Not my first metal detector actually my 3rd and love the water proof capability.

A+

As a newbie, I found the SIMPLEX LITE exactly what I was looking for; that is, a reasonable-cost, better quality detector that is a step above the many lower-cost devices. Very easy to assemble and use after a 3-hour USB charge up (but, the wall-plug-in converter is not included). Did a quick checkout in my backyard. It worked great using out-of-box, the default settings of FIELD and ALL METAL modes. . plus a small shovel. At 4" to 6" down, I found a flat softdrink can, a U-shaped fence nail, and a piece of tin foil.PRO: Lots of "bells & whistles" options and settings.. . that you don't have to use.Like the smaller 9" detection coil and PINPOINT feature.CONs: a 12-hr rechargeable Battery (Good for a session), but it has to be factory replaced when it fails.Manual shows an extra-cost "Optional Battery Pack", but I can't find it on the Internet.Manual gives a mix of info on 3 SIMPLEX detectors, but no separate section for each device.BOTTOM LINE: Highly Recommended for a newbie and occasional user.

That it worked as advertised.

Awesome detector

So far the product seems to be working as it should. I’m finding all sorts of metal objects buried up too 8”.Wasn’t very happy with how the item was packaged. The metal detector was in a large box with no packing paper or bubble plastic. The box was half open and when I opened the metal detector box, everything was dirty, had a scratched screen, a little dent in the base and the instructions were damaged as well ( thankfully I can pull them up online). When I upgrade I will make sure not to use this seller.

This metal detector is perfect for me as a beginner. I’ve found plenty of scrap metal in my yard so I know it’s really accurate. Nothing of value yet, but I’ll keep looking!
