Description
More people learned this hobby on a Simplex+ than on any detector of its generation, and most of them never got past the presets. The Simplex+ Handbook by Andy Sabisch is the 112 page, Nokta Makro authorized guide that turns the world's favorite starter machine into a tuned instrument: what every control really does, how to read target ID information, and the field techniques Simplex+ owners worldwide contributed chapter by chapter.
At a glance
The Simplex+ Handbook by Andy Sabisch is a 112 page, 8.5 x 11 in (22 x 28 cm) printed guide to the Nokta Makro Simplex+ metal detector, authorized by the manufacturer. Chapters cover the birth and evolution of the Simplex, search coils, common questions, coin hunting, target ID interpretation, relic hunting, beach and water hunting, tips and techniques, accessories, and maintenance.
Why this book, and an honest note about which machine you own
Plain truth most dealers skip: this handbook documents the Simplex+, the machine that started the line. Nokta has since replaced it with the Simplex Ultra and Simplex Lite, which we sell. If you own a Simplex+, this is your book, full stop, and the used market is full of your machine. If you own an Ultra or Lite, the hunting technique chapters, coil logic, and site craft translate well, but the control walkthroughs describe the Simplex+ interface, not your firmware. We would rather tell you that before you order than let a product page imply otherwise.
