    Sounds like you are on the right track. Thanks!

    Simplex Ultra Headphone Question

    I am considering the new Ultra and have a headphone question. Will my Legend wireless phones work with the Ultra? If they do work with the Ultra, can the headphones be paired with two different detectors or will I have to pair them each time I change detectors? I could save a little cash if they...

    Park shoveler

    Hopefully the people in charge do not see this person with a shovel. Last week at my favorite park I had a similar experience with this type of digging. I got signal on my Legend that was faint, but repeatable. I knew it was a coin in the 7-9 inch range. I use a Lesche digger and I was digging...

    Elmy (Elmer Baker) passed away today

    Truly one of the good guys! One of the most helpful people I have met. I will miss his wit and wisdom.

    New to E bike

    I like your setup. I bought and ebike in June of this year and love the concept of these bikes. At my age, I can run out of gas just about any distance from home. The electric assist always gets me home. I start out pedaling and when I get tired or hit a headwind, I use the assist. Pretty nice...

    Gold Coin Story From T-DUB'Finds Post

    For the record, I have never found a gold coin and I am envious of the rare few who have found one. I started this post as to not contaminate his post. I hunt several large parks that date to the late 1890's-early 1900's. They are still in use so you can imagine what a 100 years of all sorts...

    Thinking About Down Sizing

    Jim, I feel the same way about my time left in this hobby. My knees are wearing out and my stamina is diminishing almost weekly. Thankfully we have this forum to keep up with the times. I hate to sound like one of those "old codgers", but I guess that is what I am becoming. I truly believe...

    Funny how the first generation Simplex is more money

    Have you had a chance to use the new Ultra yet. For some reason, I am thinking you are from the northeast. If so, I am seeing rains of the century up there. Hopefully everyone is safe.

    Thinking About Down Sizing

    It sure is hard to find a better detector than the Etrac that will accurately hit coins 8 plus inches. The thing that makes the Etrac "head and shoulders" above the new detectors is the ease at how it hits on these deep coins. I just wish it was not so darn heavy. I just had my Etrac repaired...

    Thinking About Down Sizing

    I have been taking the Etrac to my favorite park and have been coming home "skunked". This place has been my all time favorite detecting spot, producing hundreds of silver and into the thousands of wheat pennies. I always can find at least a wheat or two, but the last three hunts were terrible...

    Any date on when the Simplex Ultra will be released in the USA???

    I agree, I am not too interested in videos from overseas. I am sure there will be some of US based youtubers making some videos as soon as they can get an Ultra in their hands. I am strictly a public spot hunter and any detector I use will have to be accurate and deep on modern trash. I do not...

    Any date on when the Simplex Ultra will be released in the USA???

    Tony, I believe they have started shipping to the US market, but not in large batches. Go to youtube and there are a couple of videos that you are looking for. It sure does look like the Simplex Ultra is a "hot" detector.

    Simplex Ultra Headphone Adapter

    Went to Notka's website and the adapters are a shared part. I just wish that they were longer so I could zip tie it to the arm rest like I did with the Equinox.

    Quote I made up (I think)

    When I started detecting many years ago, I either heard or made up a saying about detecting. This saying is the most accurate description of metal detecting I have ever heard. I tell anyone who comes up to me to BS with me while I am detecting. I call our hobby, "an easter egg hunt for grown...

    Simplex Ultra Headphone Adapter

    Is the Simplex plus and the new Simplex series headphone adapter the same adapther used on the Legend? It appears to be identical. I am considering the new Ultra and want to use the Legend adapter on the Simplex as a backup to the wireless phones. Thanks

    Fisher CZ's still the King

    Ken, I had just about every CZ made and the CZ70 was the only one that I could run above 5 on the sensitivity. Try 4 with a slow sweep speed.

    Test Garden

    Rob, for years I have told every new detectorist to plant a test garden. You can learn more in a half an hour than 50 hours in the field with a new detector. Air test are fine for the very basic's like learning the tones, but nothing will every beat what various targets sound like in the ground...

    If Fisher would make a modern High end coin / relic detector???? Would you buy and what options would it need to have ??

    Built in rechargeable battery. Light weight dd coils. Wireless phones. I don't need it to be an under water rated detector. Last but not least, CZ depth. I had some of my best silver years with various CZ's and to think we were getting extreme depth with an eight inch coil. I found the big coil...

    Does Nokta Makro not honor their warranty?

    Bill, if Notka wants to compete with Minelab, they better have a transferrable warranty.
