Hello water hunters! Does anyone have Ground balance and program suggestions for Nokta Simplex in fresh water? I’ve had it in the water for my first hunt and am eager to go back. I used both Park 1 and Beach with auto ground balance, finally settled on Park 1 and stuck with it. I’m also using the SP24 small coil and software v2.77. I got some great tips from another post before my first water hunt. Thanks again for any advice.

Happy Hunting in 2021!

This was my second water hunt with my Simplex. I ran the ground balance at 72 then worked backwards to zero. Then all the back to 97 where it seems to be pretty good. It was about knee deep water and not too chilly. Today’s 1 1/2 hour hunt: 2 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels, 15 pennies and a nice Catholic medallion and chain...maybe gold. (Non- magnetic) It was in mud and silt about 5 inches down. Came out looking beautiful!
