So my new 3 week old Simplex+ is outdated already and no future updates????
Yep, you got caught short just like some new Equinox 600 and 800 owner's did. To add insult to injury you can now buy a Simplex package that includes a pinpointer & pouch, finds bag, digger& sheath, headphones and a freakin' hat for $339.

Changing the frequency to 15khz is a plus to me anyway. Around here it’s definitely a hot frequency that hits good on everything from coins to small jewelry at great depths.
Just like the latest tesoro models did running at about 15khz. Depends on your soil but the tesoro’s that ran those frequencies were hot detectors that alot of people used and liked.
Had they had that originally i might have bought the simplex instead.
Maybe its to get ahead of the new Xterra vlf coming out

Just need more info on the Simplex Ultra . Minelab has the new Exterra on their website. I would like to have a nice detector that I can get in the water with for freshwater/ beach hunting that can serve as a backup or loaner…… sometimes I offer that to homeowners to use and that gets me a definite yes permission.

I don’t think either one of those is really ideal for the beach especially salt water.
A Nox 900 or Legend would be better suited. As a spare the legend at $400 is excellent especially the fact it’s waterproof. An inexperienced homeowner might accidentally get it wet lol

I'm okay with the new stuff coming but I doubt if I will feel a need to get one. I'm extremely happy with my original machine. The first time I took my Simplex out, I felt that I knew what it was telling me right off the bat.....after a year now using it, there's no need to upgrade from it.....but what will I do with the Legend I bought myself for Xmas now....smiles.

Yeah been looking at it, for $260 doesn’t look bad but can it offer anything the legend doesn’t is the question

Now we wait for updates. Seems both Minelab and Nokta rushed to show off their new machines but haven't told us anything else since the announcements. Although I think Minelab is ahead of the game with the new Xterra Pro as there are already test videos out. Nokta didn't even have the new Simplex coils on their new models. They were supposed to be at Digstock so I am hoping to see some videos of both brands from that event.

Well I went ahead and bought the X Terra Pro from Cabela's, I used it twice and have no complaints what so ever. I used the CoilTek 10x5 coil for my testing and found it to be a very good match as far as balance and performance on the XTP. The pinpointing feature is really good on the XTP, and the VDI reporting system is very close to the Simplex. The machine is light weight and full of nice features for what you pay. I did think the hand grip was a bit thick for my hand but that wasn't a huge deal. Overall....a very good detector for the money.
I made the decision to sell the XTP and stay with my Simplex. Thanks to FM and it's members for your support of the hobby and for your fellowship.

No, your machine is not outdated. I doubt the simplex ultra will find anything your simplex + won’t. Few options is all Im seeing,few kHz difference in frequency but the simplex + is already a hot machine do I’m not seeing where you’ll benefit from that. Square tones would of been a deal breaker tho for many users

Many people won't use the Simplex simply because they despise the tones. Many compare it to a duck being attacked 
The reason I got rid of mine..tried to deal with but...Many people won't use the Simplex simply because they despise the tones. Many compare it to a duck being attacked

So I own the Garrett ATMax , the Fisher F22 and the MineLab GoldMonster 1000 and I am looking at the Simplex+ and this new ultra that is suppose to come out and just wondering if it has any advantages than my current line up?
