What size optional coils would you like to see for the Simplex?

Providing you are getting A Simplex? For myself, I would probably want a 5 or 6" round coil, and something in the 5x 8" size. Or even an 8" round coil.

5" DD and maybe a 6" concentric coil

An 8" and 9" concentric coils and 8" dd coil. I like there 4x7 1/2" dd coil and 5.5x9 dd. Pretty much what they have on there other machines.

5" , 6" , or 7" round concentric coils, also a 8" round DD coil.

It would also be nice that the optional coils would by buyer friendly,
price wise, like the Simplex+ jtol

9" concentric to start. Would have nearly the same depth as the stock coil with better iron handling and better sensitivity to small gold. Would be my primary wading coil in fresh water. Can't handle the big DD coils in the water anymore.

Same here, except that I'd want the 4" x 7 1/2" first. I love that coil.

I really loved my 4.5 inch Garrett Sniper coil. But I really felt like a 6 inch coil worked about the same except hunting bullets in creeks. So maybe a 3.5 x 5 or 6 would be the best of both worlds. It will fit into crevices and also cover a little more ground. It would make a nice nugget coil as well since the Simplex has an expanded GB feature.........

a 5" x 20" DD would be great, too, even a 4" x 16" would be better than nothing.

8-9" round concentric for freshwater hunting
3 x 18" (BigFoot) style for open areas like parks and beaches

Mike I forgot about that broom type coil. I had one on a Tesoro years ago, my goodness I picked up coins fast. 4 x 18 dd it is Dilek.
Its sad no one makes one any more.

I would like a 3"X18" or 4"X18" DD.-----PLEASE make one for us!

Nokta cleansweep needs to happen!
Re: What size optional coils would you like to see for the Simplex?

9" concentric, tight in iron like the Tesoro 9x8.

And again, the 3x18 Tesoro cleansweep style coil or Bigfoot. This coil alone would merit a Nokta/Makro unit in the arsenal for a bunch of park hunters. There's no way I could pass up owning one. I currently dont have any Nokta/Makro machines but I would buy one just for this coil.

Hmmmmmmm.

I'm thinking this is still classed as a good entry-level machine, so having a multitude of different coils is probably unlikely. The potential customer just isn't going to want them, or understand the need for them. Keep it simple - something like the Fisher/Tek 5 inch solid coil, or make it mildly-elliptic 6" x 4.5" if it's technically better. And the standard coil.
Big coils are usually a disappointment, they need to be plenty bigger than the stock coil to make any difference, and then they start being so big they don't find 'normal' size stuff, and they weigh a ton, cost a lot, pick up EMI, no-one likes using them due to ergonomics, etc etc.

Basically Nokta to keep up with the variety of coils. A machine that can use both types of coils...DD and Concentric. I personally like Concentric coils to be shaped round. 7" is a good all around size.
