I have just bought a simplex, I’m very new to it all, just started today and I’ve learned a very valuable lesson...don’t wear steel toe capped boots 🤦♂️...my learning curve has begun
M'Lady, you are truly the Queen of the Simplex. Thank you so much for the wonderful and instructional videos. I've no idea of your profession but you are certainly a natural born teacher! Looking forward to further videos. Thank you again!
Love it! I've now started showering mine after detecting, with a car wash and wax solution (a tip I got from The Discriminator). Works really well, and you know what? I can finally put the Simplex up and down, without the shaft getting stuck. Who knew it just wanted a bit of Simonize?? :)
Recently subbed, also a simplex user. One thing that I've learned when it comes to identifying iron is to pump the coil over the target rather than use a side to side approach. I find your videos very useful and can't thank you enough for posting! Garnet
Thanks for these videos. Rank beginner here. But today, I found a linch pin, a couple of good bolts, the brass nozzle off a backpack fire pump, a broken piece of sickle bar guard, and last but not least, my long lost pocketknife! The machine is very impressive (to me, anyway), and my confidence is increasing with each find.
For those of you that do not have a pinpointer might I make a suggestion. That if a cheap one is all you can afford it is better than not having one at all. They can save you a lot of time recovering those targets. Good advice Lori on the proper procedure of digging a Target in the grass, and covering up the holes.
Hi Lori, I'm new to the channel and I love it! I have my Simplex for a couple of weeks now and it's still difficult to understand the sounds my Simplex is making, therefore I'll dig every sound, just to learn... you're videos are helping me a lot to create a good relationship with my Simplex.... Keep on hunting....
michel faber I am so glad to hear that the videos are helping. I filmed two new ones today, one on which version of the software to use (live tomorrow at 8 pm uk time) and a practical video on how to reduce chatter and pick the correct mode and sensitivity for your circumstances (live in 2 days). Hope they are helpful, if you have a specific question for me to film and answer to, just shout and I will do my best. In the meantime keep digging those signals, one day it will just click, and you suddenly find you know not to dig certain sounds. Your bag will come home so much lighter!
First thank you! For no crazy intro music. You speak so clearly. I just received my simplex. Watching utubes to learn prior to going to beach. I only or mostly search the beach, here in USA east coast, 100 % fine sand with tons of copper fragments from munitions. Learning a lot! I do know here to only go at low tide after a storm. The fine sand covers everything 3ft plus in 24 hr. In summer you can go daily to find fresh drops but to many people. You would have been a great teacher, or are.
I am so keen to get to a beach, and the Simplex really does need tuned for that type of detecting. I am keen to know how she will behave after the increased depth update, and how much adjustment will be needed. I will head there as soon as I am allowed. Thank you for watching! :)
@@thesimplexguru1263 hi , I haven't really been out with mine yet would you say stay with 2.68 and get used to machine or update it to new 2.77 ch3rs john
@@johnjohn633 What pinpointer do you have? And do you have the wireless headphones? Unless you have a Pulsedive AND the Simplex wireless headphones, I would advise going to 2.77, to get the mute button function. If you stay on 2.68, the interference will be really bad and do your head in. The 2.77 won't make your machine more unstable, just more sensitive. Dial your sensitivity back, to 5 or 6 bars depending on how many signals are in your ground. It's def best to do the update, because the features it brings are worth it, and the extra sensitivity can be reduced until you need it. :D Happy Hunting!
Excellent, well presented video Lori. Great to watch and listen to. Much better, for me, than some of the over-hyped, 'eye-balls out', non-informative up-loads that're out there. Nice and steady does it every time. Also. real good that you let your viewers hear the tones properly, and that you explain their respective nuances. Top woman. Bang on! Subbed. Keep up your work, because people that own the Simplex can only profit from it. Stay safe.
Thank you Tim, I really appreciate the feedback. I remember well the sinking feeling of digging up yet another bit of plough part, or nail, or horseshoe, or aluminium can. I looked in vain for videos that had the numbers showing and the tones audible, so I could hear and see what others were experiencing. Some did show the numbers (Southern Searcher, South Coast detecting) but not always, not with tones, and they were only on beaches. Rob Rizzo (The History DIgger) has been very helpful for numbers charts, but he is in WIsconsin and his coins/finds are very different to the UK. I wanted someone like Aquachigger doing videos saying "Listen for this" "Thats iron", "This is what I use on this field type "this is how i tell this" etc. but it wasn't out there for the SImplex (that I found). Lots of finds videos, that show what she can detect, but no videos showing the process of how to find these things. Possibly because those videos take time, and are labour intensive to make. That's why I made this- though i am def no Aquachigger!
@@thesimplexguru1263 Few people are, but you I'm sure you are admired by many detectorist for your knowledge and skill with the Simplex. No one else that I can find on you tube is as helpful as you are.
Thanks for the videos. Im completely new to metal detecting and just got a simplex. I was getting frustrated because I had so many unanswered questions about how to interpret all the signals I was getting. So glad I stumbled upon your videos because you've answered so much! All the other videos seem to seem to presume some level of understanding of how these machines work and I was so lost constantly digging and finding nothing with no explanations of why I was getting so much chatter.
Ive just got my simplex and I want to say 'thanks' for the informative, idiot proof, descriptions! Its really helped me understand the nuances of the tones.....
I'm new to metal detecting, just bought my Simplex+ and found Your videos VERY helpful and informative. And I really do like the tone of Your voice 😊 Thank You!
Thank you so much. I do my best to help. Sorry I missed your post, youtube is odd about telling me I have no unread posts, and I have about 10 that I find when I go looking! My voice is annoying to me when I edit the videos, but people keep telling me its soothing 🤷♀️🤷♀️
Hola amiga, felicitaciones por el video y por enseñarnos diferentes técnicas que nos pueden servir para detectar con el Simplex, un abrazo y saludos desde Chile para usted 🇨🇱👍
Great video. I have not even taken my detector out because I am still reading and researching trying to not waste time since I really don't have a lot of spare time to detect but your video explained everything I have read so far in about two minutes. Trying to read the difference between sounds in different modes and you showing it makes it so much easier to learn. Thank you
Hi Lori, Very informative guide's. Thank you and i have subscribed. I used to detect a little around 30 years ago with a Fisher 550D. I came back to the hobby around a month ago and bought a Bounty Hunter 2200. Then i discovered the simplex + And took delivery Tue the 16th. I can only detect the beach at the moment so am looking forward to your beach video as i was getting signals all over the place including huge amounts of coke and heavy mineralisation. Thank you again for the very very good video's. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Michael. Sorry I didn't see your comment, youtube is very odd in giving me unread message information. I'll think I've read and answered them all, then I come across old ones buried. Makes me feel bad that I'm ignoring people, even if I don't mean to! Let me know how beach goes, coke is a tricky one. Nox 800 discriminates it out totally but simplex doesn't, in my experience. :(
Hi! Your videos and expertice are helping me alot! I have only a few days with my Simplex. now i feel more in the action to go out and start searching. Thanks for your time and help. I´m from Mexico City. ( I speak Spanish ) sorry for my terrible English. lol Good luck!!!
Thank-you for your lovely comments. Welcome to the Simplex family, if there is anything I can help with, please let me know! Happy hunting to you too 😃
Great information. Had my Simplex a week, and love it. I am digging lots of things, but your videos have helped me get more treasure and less trash. Love my pulse drive as well
I love your videos, informative, clear and very helpful. I've only been out twice with my simplex+ which is also my first machine so thank you for the great advice :)
Good morning . Had the simplex 3 weeks know and loving learning it. Videos have been very useful and I have found many interesting finds. Just subscribed
The Simplex Guru the 3 weeks I’ve had the simplex I have found 5 Lizzie sixpence , 1 Lizzie threepence, to Charles 1st shilling and mix of George 5th Victoria William silvers and the normal pennies half pennies form George 3rd onwards and some interesting artifacts. All on pasture, I’m in greater manchester
Liked and subbed! Love the drop cloth tip and over all vibe here! Just ordered my Simplex+ and am excited to start! Thanks from Ithaca N.Y.! I’ve watched a lot of these tutorials lately and yours are my fav.!
Yes round objects that are iron read good.The minelab i use that nulls on iron objects will sound good if the iron object is round like a flat washer or iron ring.
I learn a lot here Thank you. I just want to share this. I tried Field with a target next to 2 nails in a 6 in deep.. The signals gave all 3 targets when passing the coil over it ,a penny and 2 nails.3 beeps.
Loved your video Lori. Very informative. I use a Garrette AT Pro that just kinda died, the board is fried, so , I bought the Simplex. Used it a couple times, but found it chattered much more than the pro. Can,t wait to try your instructions, they make sense
If you're having interference issues between the Simplex and your pin pointer when the Simplex is muted, have you tried changing it to a different frequency in the menu? A frequency change is helpful when you have interference near other detectors, cell/microwave towers, ect.
When I search for a particular place, I get signals from digging in that place but the detector shows more depth that he should dig more. Should dig more and see it is in the place where in the old days there was a village or a city but now for many hundreds of years there is nothing in that place there is a place in my area where there are traces of human existence like old Pottery
Really enjoying your vids! You go slow and explain things AND you tell it like it is. The simplex is NOT so simple and like any machine will take time. One question I have at this point is.....The machine can go pretty deep I believe ..BUT the numbers cut out on deep objects usually 6-7 inches or so (which is not so deep.) It seems almost worthless on the deeper objects cause they could be anything. People say listen to the sounds and I agree, but the there are only 2 tones in Field and 3 in Park..so that is not really enough to go on. I'm using field or park with a 5 -6 sensitivity depending. Can you address this "concern" a little. I feel bad passing on the deeper objects. Even in an air test on a medium deep object I'm getting only sound like a mosquito...and that could be anything. Any thoughts will help! Thanks!
Hi Lori, I'd to congratulate you on your channel. I really enjoyed your videos. Very in depth. I bought the Simplex without the headphones as money was tight. I wonder if you know if one buys a Bluetooth cordless headset if the machine would be able to synchronize with the detector? I'd appreciate your input. Thanks
Hopefully your son will get some use from the videos, since he has inherited yours. Thank you so much for being the inspiration for this series, even if I am sorry the Simplex drove you nuts on the beach! :D
I was out every day that I could, for a long as I could. I'd say within a couple months I was fairly competent, but I also dug every signal. I could have probably put together an entire plough rig by the end of the first few weeks, I found that many agricultural parts! Stick with it, dig everything, and within a few weeks you will be much more tuned in to the info that the Simplex is giving you. Happy hunting!
Hi Dear! One question! What might it mean if the detector shows a high number like 65-75 with a deep sign, like all the 5 stripes,but with a deep sound át the same time!? I ask this,because a high tone with a high number usually means good.
Hi, I am from the US and have followed your amazing videos. I purchased mine with V2.78, but would really like to try V2.77. If you have the file or know of someone who does, please let me know. Thanks for the support. I am coming on bended knee to the guru!
I just got the simplex a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to learn it coming from a fisher F4. Im having a problem with the audio clipping as I am swinging. Its hard to explain but I have tried all the modes and different levels of sensitivity. Im not sure if the targets are all small and alot of them, but when i swing, the audio will cut out over a target. Sometimes I will still get a VDI number with no sound. Not sure if you have any tips or if I have a defective machine. Also when i pinpoint sometimes, it will cut out as well until i release and repress the button.
Hi,I use mine on field mode,g balanced,change in between park 1 and two for better separation but do struggle a bit with the pinpointing and deep big iron sounds to good not to dig,so getting bits of horseshoes and ploughs. Do you get similar targets? Thanks
Hello, i just got my simplex. It seems like it beeps a lot! Is that a bad thing? I ground balanced, I turned my sense down, but each swing seems like it has a million signals and very faint ones. Is that bad or normal??
HI WIlliam, I would go with 2.77, not the 2.78. My reasons are: 1.You need the 2.77 for the added depth (even if you aren't using it now) 2. You need 2.77 for the mute button feature (vital even if you have the headphones and the pulsedive, because the day will come that your headphones get left at home by accident- or they run out of charge. You will be so glad of the mute function!) 3. You need 2.77 for the new coils that are coming. You might not want to buy one right now, but when the detecting bug bites, and it will, you will eventually want the added flexibility that alternate coils bring. 4. I wouldn't choose 2.78 BECAUSE- you lose information that cannot be accessed without hooking up to a pc again. This is info you could have at the touch of a button as your landscape or skills level changes, if you are on 2.77 and tune the machine. If you are on 2.78, you can't get to it. You can always roll back to 2.77 BUT- if you set up your machine like I have shown in the video, you don't lose anything and it is always available, just quietly waiting for you to ask for it. I will do a video regarding this, because I am sure you are not the only one asking this question- thank you for the idea! :D
Hi Ronnie, the A.S.S. mode was another youtuber's name for ASSorted modes. It isn't a setting itself, it is about using ALL the modes to get the best idea about a signal before you dig it. Checking a target using all the different settings, to get the most information you can about an iffy signal, can help you decide if it is worth it. That's using "A.S.S." orted modes. I'm sorry I didn't explain it on the video, I should remember that people may not have seen previous ones and might not know the terms. Thanks for your question and for watching 😃
