Nexus MP V3 - any owners?

[ebestan]

Any owners of this Nexus MPV3, opinions? I found very little information about this MP3 detector but it looks very potent in the manufacturer videos. Also I like the videos of Georgi how he is presenting it.

Im asking because I really hope it's not a disappointment like the AKA Smart Pulse from Bulgaria too. Can't find real-life reviews from actual owners that is using this it in the field.

Oh what a disappointment!
There are several reasons why I have now completely dropped this detector from the plans!
"Molded part"!??
Why that?
If I get angry I'll put it in methylene chloride and in a few hours it won't be hidden anymore, why the nonsense?
Why are the pins bent and the several chips counter soldered?
What kind of nonsense is that!?
Quite a frivolous approach and quite serious claims and an even more serious price!
With all that (which indicates the complete frivolity of the one who did it); in "countless" video demonstrations I have yet to see behavior on masked targets...
But now that I saw how frivolously it was done; I'm not even interested in anything about this detector anymore, it's obvious that it's just stupidity... for a lot of money!
Thanks for the pictures of the interior! They helped me eliminate all dilemmas.
...
The "enormous depths" shown on the naively recorded video demonstrations remind me of the Atlantis Imperator, some xx years ago, a crap made in Turkey,
which on very clean soil turned out to be the deepest in history... and in real conditions as a totally unusable piece of garbage.

The way the coil connector and the power (or whatever) switch is connected to the pcb, "mixed" type of components, SMD, DIL, potentiometers of one type and another type...
The inside of the plastic box clearly shows very cheap, low quality plastic. After a few months in the sun, that plastic will start to crack, rot and deform...
Too much tin on small SMD components indicates manual soldering...
This is not a pcb made by JLPcb... this is Bulgarian build quality.
These are all indicators of "manual work" at the diy level.
All in all; one of the biggest disappointments of this year.
The first impression I had was wrong.
But now that we have a chance to see the details…

And this written by someone with 3 posts, registered there 2 days ago, went to praise the Nexus and spit on the Smart Pulse hybrid. There is nowhere more clear than that. Another pathetic attempt at manipulation
It's very strange why some people are deluded that by spitting on someone else, their business will take off with great momentum?!

??? FYI Im a long term member but I didnt logged in for a long time therefore I had to sing up again.
That was not my intention to spit on anything. Just saw that many bulgarian companies some of them very shady btw. (facebook etc.) dropped many detectors on the market without any real life reviews from real people. Just wanted to know some opinions from real owners. Thats all.

Ebestan, don't pay attention to pointless comments.
Your questions are valid.
I will try to answer you, and my answer will surprise some who come here just to provoke a debate and introduce bad energy.
I don't know anything about that Nexus model, much less; I don't know anything about most Nexus models, I've only seen a couple so far.
I do not have a high opinion of the author and owner of Nexus.
But one thing is certainly undeniable; The quality of the Nexus detectors is certainly at a much higher level of manufacturing quality than what we saw in the "Smart Pulse".
Even with the first models, the high ambition of the manufacturer was clearly visible. So I have no doubt that all the following models are made with quality.
I wouldn't interfere here and I wouldn't comment, but you referred to my post from another thread.
How good is that Nexus model? It's hard to say. Without personal experience, everything would be mere guesswork.
But you got the answer to the basic question; that it is certainly of a much higher quality of workmanship and there is no doubt that it is at a high level of quality.

Thank you very much ivconic for your honest answer. Hope someday an owner can chime in and give more infos about that model.

The owner has recorded many video demonstrations and they are all on YouTube.
The results are impressive.
It is worth respecting the will to dig enormously deep holes!
These are obviously very deep detectors.
But my objections are always misunderstood here on the forum.
Everyone is paranoid and sees evil intentions in my complaints.
And that is not my intention.
I have the same gripes and complaints about the Nexus that I have with the Smart Pulse, regarding the video demonstrations.
And it is obvious and easy to see that such tests and demonstrations are mostly done on very uniform soils.
The Nexus owner did a series of tests in a flat forest, very easy terrain to work on. The soil is uniform and not too polluted.
In such conditions, the results are impressive.
But they don't mean much to me.
Because I don't have such fields here.
My terrain is very rough.
Valuable finds are in the layers below the surface layer, which is heavily contaminated with densely distributed pieces of metal debris.
In addition to rusty pieces and a lot of ferro oxide, there are also an unprecedented number of hotrock and blacksand pieces.
And that's why I don't respect those numerous video demonstrations with which they advertise their detectors.
Because those performances mean nothing to me.
The simple and cheap Minelab Vanquish 340 is a "killer" in my fields compared to those super powerful Bulgarian detectors.
ML340 would probably prove to be much shallower on their turf in Bulgaria. But here on my fields it is a "killer" even compared to Deus.

Hello At the rally I met the Nexus MPV3 detector, does anyone know the operating frequency, the owner says it's PI, is it true?

VLF IB!

The owner often has the weakness to mix capacitor and resistor... so it's not a big sin if he mixes PI and VLF - I/B technologies.
Don't take him for granted.
It's the same in Serbia, those who have no idea about detectors earn the most money on detectors!



I'm in a special joke mood today... hope no one minds?

Good Topic!

I watched most (if not all) of the videos regarding nexus mp3 because I was so impressed with it's performance. And if it wasn't for the long waiting list, I would probably have bought one because that made me hesitant. I'm still impressed but not as much as before especially when I found a website that specializes in selling mostly used but original ICs. From which I ordered some for my DIY detectors like Admiral, IDX, terminator3 and let me tell you, they have gotten very damn close to the mp3 (deep wise) if not better because I'm using 25cm coils or less (they all are smaller than the nexus coil I watched on youtube). Maybe it was for the best for me not to buy that pricy detector although I would love to put my hands on one and put it to a series of tests my way! Nowadays I'm working on SMW because I'm a big fan of Ivconic and his work and he mentioned somewhere here in the forum that it could go deep.

Bottom line, if you only look for performance, maybe it meets your expectations or maybe not. But if you also consider its price, a couple of months after you place your order through their website to receive it, and the fact that they don't sell it through a dealer to which you refer when it needs maintenance. Considering all of that, I decided that detector is not for me, maybe at the moment. I hope this makes sense for you and hopefully help you to decide for yourself.

Who genuinely likes detectors (like me); he always has the desire to have them all. At least for a shorter period of testing.
I didn't like the first Nexus detectors (xx years ago). But I can't say the same for the newer models. Because I didn't have a chance to test them.
But price is a deterrent (as with others). The new Nexus models should be given attention. I would love to. But I have no money.
It is ambitious to say that SMW is better than Nexus. I'm not saying that.
But SMW provides an awful lot of depth for a pitifully low investment cost. It's a fact. And that's why I posted it on the forum, so that hobbyists could work.
Objectively; good to have SMW. But it's also good to have a better Nexus model.
If you do SMW according to the instructions; you will be very satisfied in relation to the invested money. That's a good start.

[Nightryder]

I agree

I agree, the nexus mp3 should not be ignored. Maybe not right now though because of the price, and since it's an analog machine, who knows we might just see its schematic floating on the surface someday . We just might.

Regarding the SMW, I know some ppl are here just waiting for others to slip up and make an honest mistake so they can spread their negativity and discredit them. That's why I would like to remind everyone that we share the same hobby and that should be good enough to have faith in each other. For example, if that smw I'm working on nowadays did not meet my expectations for any reason at all, I'm not going to take that upon you. No Sir! that's not who I am nor should be anyone !

I hope you and everyone else keep sharing your experiences and not look back to those kind of ppl.

[ebestan]

Thank you guys for answering! Didn't knew there was a long waiting list to get this Nexus MP3. Seems like I will just use my old Detech Chaser and keep going on.

Btw. What is the SMW? Anyone a link? Just curious.
