Steve Herschbach Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 iffy signals also did a Nokta/Makro Simplex+ vs Garrett AT Pro video. When asked on YouTube what he thought of Simplex vs Vanquish, read below..... “MD Melbourne15 hours ago Quite a nice detector iffy, In your opinion what do you prefer this or the simplex? REPLY Iffy Signals 15 hours ago Hey Jim, i prefer the Minelab because of the multi freq and the 5 tones in all modes. Simplex is stuck in two tones for there deep mode. Vanquish has 5 tones for all modes. Anyone who likes the Equinox will most likely like the Vanquish. Other than the fact that it looks like a Fire Truck 🚒. Take care bud.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily a universal sentiment. I like the Equinox but of the two value machines, personally prefer the Simplex because, unlike the Vanquish, it is different than the Equinox which I already own. The case could be different for someone who doesn't already have an Equinox. Of course, neither are it's equal. Apples and oranges. [For clarity regarding the referenced quote above - Note that Steve is quoting "iffy signals" so I am referring to the iffy signals' quote which may or may not have anything to do with how Steve feels about Vanquish] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Yeah well this is a Minelab forum and you Nokta/Makro fanboys should just stay over on your own forum! My feeling about Vanquish is it nailed it's design goal - choice between Garrett Ace and Vanquish is a no-brainer. Between Vanquish and Simplex I choose Equinox, best of both worlds.

I do love that little coil, I wish they made that for the Nox too. I guess it is just a mini-me of the Nox though. The guy in the video bought that Vanquish at a place called Dicks Sporting Goods on a black Friday sale so they obviously do have some on sale in the USA. Yep the Equinox loves large pieces of iron and frequently they ring in @ 13. Oddly I've noticed the audio is different on iron vs say a nickle, dull on iron brighter on nickle. Hard to explain, you just have to experience it, I'd assume it's the same on the Vanquish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
