Like Terry said, nothing beats learning a machine like swinging it. Good luck and welcome.

Congratulations on the Simplex Rick,
I just got one also and have only used it once because of the weather. It will run on automatic right out of the box. When you power it up you can use the right, left arrow buttons to scroll though the all metal, field, park 1, and park 2 to get the feel of it. It will start with a grounding of about 90 which is pretty good. I read my instructions first which I think just added to the confusion. After running it a couple hours I get it. If your beach hunting there is a setting for that also. From what I gather, beach mode is primarily salt water.
All the best to you! Brian

If you got an SP24 coil with it, put that on. Run Park 1 at full sensitivity. That combo works well. I've tried all the coils, to include the Detect Ultimate, ... the SP24 is my favorite coil to use. Great purchase! You are gonna find a bunch of cool stuff!

Welcome!
Some good suggestions/tips on your new Simplex.
I would add that the tones matched with the numbers will/can tell you alot about the target you’re going after. Guess what it is, then dig it up.
Learn it…!
Actually, besides that, repair/fill your holes…thanks!
…and, have fun…!
