It weighs 2.6 lb \/ 1.2 kg, runs about 12 hours per charge, includes a wired headphone adapter, and carries a 3-year warranty. Part 11000623.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want a first real detector, or a rugged backup you will not baby, the hard part is usually the settings and the fear of water. The Simplex Lite removes both. It ground balances itself in Field and Park, so you turn it on and hunt the same afternoon, and because the whole detector is waterproof to IP68, rain, mud, wet sand, and shallow water are places you hunt rather than reasons to stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the Lite, and when to step up to the Ultra\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Lite runs the same waterproof 15 kHz engine as the rest of the Simplex family, with the same target ID range, the same 30 sensitivity levels, and the same vibration, pinpoint, notch, and frequency-shift tools. What it trims to hit a lower price is the extras: it has 4 modes (Field, Park, Beach, All Metal) rather than 6, it uses wired audio through the included 6.3 mm \/ quarter-inch adapter instead of Bluetooth, and it comes with the smaller SX24 9.5 in x 6 in \/ 24 x 15 cm coil on a standard shaft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat trade is the whole point of the Lite: full waterproofing and honest 15 kHz performance for less. Step up to the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/historyseekers.net\/products\/nokta-simplex-ultra-waterproof-metal-detector\"\u003eNokta Simplex Ultra\u003c\/a\u003e when you want the two extra tone modes (4-Tone and 99-Tone), adjustable Recovery Speed and tone controls, wireless Bluetooth audio, a lighter carbon fiber shaft, and the larger 11 in \/ 28 cm coil. Both replace the older Simplex and Simplex+; the Lite is the affordable door into the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNokta Simplex Lite (11000623)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 kHz, single frequency (VLF)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSearch modes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4: Field, Park, Beach, All Metal\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWaterproof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP68, fully submersible to 16 ft \/ 5 m (whole detector)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTarget ID\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e00-99, Graphic LCD\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e30 levels; notch, frequency shift, vibration, pinpoint\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSearch coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSX24 9.5 in x 6 in \/ 24 x 15 cm waterproof DD (included) + cover\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpeaker + wired via included 6.3 mm \/ quarter-inch adapter (no Bluetooth)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight \/ shaft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.6 lb \/ 1.2 kg with coil; 25-52 in \/ 63-132 cm adjustable\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBattery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2300 mAh Li-Po, about 12 hours, USB charge (about 3 hours)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3 years (Nokta)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Simplex Lite ships free (orders of $199 or more).

Small nuggets can register too, but gold shares target-ID ranges with trash like foil and pull-tabs, so expect to dig some junk, and note the Lite has no dedicated gold mode. Serious nugget prospecting calls for a specialized gold machine rather than an all-round detector like this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNokta Simplex Lite control box and shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSX24 9.5 in x 6 in \/ 24 x 15 cm waterproof DD search coil and coil cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB charging and data cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6.3 mm \/ quarter-inch wired headphone adapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-year Nokta warranty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe story is more important than the artifact.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Nokta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48122631749890,"sku":"11000623","price":249.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/9012\/8130\/files\/nokta-simplex-lite-waterproof-metal-detector.webp?v=1784005649","url":"https:\/\/historyseekers.net\/products\/nokta-simplex-lite-waterproof-metal-detector","provider":"History Seekers Metal Detectors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
