[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5720052, member: 220"] Nokta makes OK machines. They are in a bit of a war with Minelab right now and it's really only helping us as consumers. They are going after Minelab heavy to try to offer the best bang for the bucks. They haven't quite caught up to Minelab yet IMO. Be VERY weary of any over the top YouTube videos for them. I actually helped prototype test some of their machines and I won't lie to you...they offered pretty good perks (machine and gear freebies) to channel creators who would go above and beyond promoting/pushing their products. I don't like that kind of thing so I opted out from future dealings with them. The new Simplex models that are coming out are decent for their price point. But comparing their multi freq Legend head to head to the Minelab Equinox and Manticore or the XP Deus 2...it falls short. Still a great effort for their first multi freq detector. I'm sad to say that Fisher/Teknetics are probably on the way out...following the path of Whites and Tesoro...out of business. The big 4 right now are Minelab, XP, Garrett, and Nokta. Garrett is probably soon to follow the path of out of business unless they come out with something to compete with the other 3. . [/QUOTE]
