My response to Simplex os better than Equinox

[Minelab Matt]

I just had to make a quick non edited response to people on youtube claiming the Simplex is better than the Equinox.

Wow! I am getting a lot of hate comments...lol.

Nokta just had a big push of sponsoring guys on YouTube, might be why so many are in the fog...

I wouldn't worry about it.

Let em keep think that! I dont need more competition!

Great Video!

I’ll take a multi IQ and F2 Minelab over single frequency machines any day for the type of beach hunting I do.

Just the view from my sandy foxhole....

F2? You talking about the mine detector?

No on the mine detector. F2 being the updated Iron Bias program.

Nokta is just advertising on youtube

One of the guys that tried pushing the Simplex over the Anfibio has gone back to the Anfibio. No video I have ever watched on the Anfibio or Simplex has come close to the depth I get on my Knox. Still pulling coins from 9" and plus, haven't seen the competitors bust the 7".

Great Video!

Thanks mate!!

I've even offered the Equinox bashers who are claiming that the Simp[lex is better and deeper than the Equinox £200 cash if they can come to my local beach, bury some coins in the wet sand and beat the Equinox.

None so far, apart from silly comments that I'm jealous coz I don't own a Simplex...lol.

Yeah, a person that owns a Ferrari is gonna be jealous over someone who has Just bought a Ford Focus...lol.

I generally agree with our findings, however, rather than pseudo-replicating a Simplex on an Equinox, it would have been a fairer test to have actually had a Simplex to use........and out on the beach for a real life comparison. Add the Vanquish, AT Pro, and Deus and really get the hate mail!

Having the Equinox and the Simplex i can say that the Equinox beats the Simplex on depth at the beach on wet sand. On normal soil i also did some tests on normal clad and silver coins and i got the same depth with the Simplex as the Equinox. Some coins the Simplex got a better signal then the Equinox and for some other coins the Equinox got a slight better signal.

same old story , the latest and greatest is the best ever .you better toss your old machine and buy this one because they are junk now . detectors are regulated by the government same as as radio's transmitters and receivers they only allow so much power and it hasn't changed , only thing that different is configuration and filters and the design of coils .Use your head and learn what you already have and save your money , don't be lead down the buy the newest or your gonna miss all those coins and the other guy is going to get them ....

The truth usually lies somewhere in the middle.

In a wet salt beach, the Equinox with multifrequency will beat the Simplex hands down, that's the main advantage of the Multi IQ technology.

On land the answer is not quite as straight forward. Equinox and Simplex will likely get similar raw depth but may differ in how stable the target ID will be, that could go either way depending on a lot of variables.

But depth is not everything. Equinox has variable recovery speed and can likely beat the Simplex on target separation in high density junk situations.

The Simplex is a great detector for the money but arguing about which is better is always going to be subject to interpretation, the specific detecting siuation, and conditions at hand and user bias. In other words, a no win argument. And frankly, who cares but the person swinging the detector and by then the buy decision has already been made.

Single frequency VLF induction balance detector technology is not getting any better just cheaper with more bells and whistles. Multifrequency tech like that used on the Equinox has some advantages in salt and high mineralization but for 90% of land detecting we are really talking about splitting hairs at this point as far as performance is concerned. The bang for the buck is huge with Simplex and Vanquish. Are they "better than" Equinox. Probably not, but I think they could give the venerable AT Pro, F75, or MXT a run for their money.

Ultimately, it really comes down to how much overall detecting experience the user has and how well the user understands the machine they are swinging. Differences in technology and features in modern machines really don't matter as much as people think they they do for 90% of detecting situations. You are not going to play like Tiger Woods just because you are using his golf clubs. And the Simplex "clubs" are a hell of a lot cheaper.

We all tend to swear by the Machine we've put our time and Money into .
Its just natural and I tend to agree with Jason in Enid " Less competition "
Let em believe what they want

Multi-frequency has more going for it in the overall.

It's never a fair comparison to compare a single frequency machine to a multi-frequency machine.

Multi frequency has been the greatest innovation in detecting since ground balance.

Whether I use a multi-frequency or a single frequency detector my finds all seem to look the same.
