    Question about GOLD

    Hey Simplex peeps. I'm closing in on about 100 hours on the Simplex. I feel like I'm getting to know the machine. I've found tons of clad (not literally, but probably close to $60 for my 100 hours), 8 or 9 rings (2 really nice ones) and a bunch of other cool and interesting stuff. I've pretty...

    Some finds make me feel terrible!

    I found this Camillus 64 knife in the park yesterday. It wasn't very deep, and all it took was a night in some vinegar before I could open the blades. After a thorough cleaning and oiling, I sharpened it and it's shaving sharp after just a few passes on my stone. Why do I feel terrilbe? Because...

    First time out with the new SP24 (Simplex)

    Clad, key, junk ring, junk earring, bus token. Oldest Coin Found Today: 1957 The new coil is very...specific. It's pulling stuff out of the ground in a little 100' square area that I've been working for a month now. The junk ring was found not more than 20' from a .925 silver and opal ring I...

    Keys and gold (kinda)

    Ever notice how some detecting sessions start to take on a theme? Some nights it's nickels, sometimes it's rings. Tonight's theme for me was "locks and keys" Found all these keys in completely separate areas of a park I'm working. Weird. The ring I think is gold plated. It's an Avon ring...

    Silver ring with opals, weird brass key thing, clad, and a button that says "loser"

    I laughed for a good long while when I pulled the button out of the ground. Sometimes I feel like a weird loser when I'm detecting, but most times I don't care. The ring is marked India .925 SI and I think the opals are real. Would love some help identifying the brass key. Any ideas? The clad is...

    Simplex finds silver

    Went to an older (1960s) elementary school tonight. Got a little bauble for a charm bracelet with an "M" or a "W" on it, a cool little gold colored, maybe gold plated heart pendant, and the find of the night was this pretty sterling silver and turquoise kid's bracelet. I'm excited about this...

    Some finds and a review of the Simplex

    So, I've used the Simplex for about 45 hours now. I'm attaching a pic of some finds. At least ones worth showing. There have been lots more (like, at least 20 matchbox cars and various bits and bobs). I started the same as everyone else probably, in my own back yard. The Simplex is my 3rd...

    Bucket List Item! Lost ring to be returned!

    Well, it's not really an item, per se, more like "a thing I've always wanted to do detecting...find and return a ring! I found a silver ring detecting yesterday in a park. I didn't really look that closely at it, just put it in my finds pouch. When I got home, my wife informed me that it was...

    2.77 upgrade

    I've just passed 20 hours of detecting time on my Simplex. I usually am a lurker, but I'm going to type up my impressions after 20 hours of use. Figure it might be of interest to somebody out there. This post however is a question. Have any of you Simplex users find the 2.77 upgrade and noticed...

    Does the Simplex (or any detector really) have a setting that keeps track of usage hours?

    I'd love to keep a running tally of hours I've used the Simplex (but keep it secret from my wife ;)). Just wondering if anyone has ever heard of this feature on any detector, and if it's possible, maybe it can be added to a future upgrade?

    Nickel VDI on Simplex

    Running 2.76 My VDI is a consistent 29-30. Granted, this is on a dug buffalo nickel. Anyone else have the same experience with nickels? Also, are there some VDI charts floating around this forum anywhere for the 2.76-77 updates? Thanks all, DS
