Detecting Mode .Park , seems to me to be the best mode and i guess probably will be most other peoples favourite. will start with the pinpointing feature. I found the pinpointing to be very accurate no problems at all. Stems - No stem flexing noticed at all even when well extended. Overall build quality is excellent, a very strong and well made detector. The Simplex+ loves lead , i dug lots. Depth - Superb i recovered an old (and not very big) school badge from 11 inches with a good strong signal , you cant fault the depth on this detector, some targets i had to give up on as they were just too deep to dig with my smaller extended digger my other digger has a longer blade which i should ideally have had with me. You will need a decent spade with this machine for sure. I dug no iron at all so far . I got a solid "dig me" signal VDI 15 which was a large lump of coke once recovered i swept over the coke a few times to learn how it sounds , i dug no more coke after that. I was using wireless headphones which make it very nice to swing without been wired to the detector. Large clumps of foil were coming in at around VDI 20,These foil clumps were annoying but they give a wide pinpoint signal , i think with practice a lot of this type of foil could be avoided. Miss shaped irregular bits of junk sound easily to ID , You can hear the raspy edges of the junk easily. I ran the detector with backlight on which makes it much easier to see the screen. Battery power holds up well even with backlight on close to max. For me i like the detector , a keeper....I rate the simplex a 10 out of 10, for the price it is amazing.
