Simplex Ultra vs. Double and Triple Score
DESTINATION GOLD DETECTORS · BUYER'S GUIDE
Simplex ULTRA vs. Score, Double Score & Triple Score
Both run on Nokta's waterproof, entry-level platform — but the technology underneath isn't the same. Simplex ULTRA is a mature single-frequency machine built for depth control and tone customization. Double Score and Triple Score trade some of that fine-tuning for simultaneous multi-frequency (SMF) detection. (Note: the original single Score model has been discontinued and is no longer available.)
Single-Frequency

Most adjustable of the three — full carbon shaft, tone break, recovery speed & a coin/relic ID scale.
