Winter Storm Watch? Still Time for a Night Coin Hunt! Nokta Makro Simplex Plus Pulls 6 Pennies + a Dime from the Playground

Hey diggers, it's Zeke (aka Glenn) here—bundled up and swinging under the lights!

With a Winter Storm Watch looming and the forecast calling for snow overnight, I figured... why not squeeze in one last quick hunt before the ground freezes over? The playground was calling my name, the Simplex Plus was charged, and the night air was crisp but perfect for detecting.

I hit a local playground after dark—those floodlights make it easy to see what you're scooping—and the Nokta Makro Simplex Plus went to work like a champ. No fancy settings, just Park mode, coil low, steady swings, and let the machine do its thing.

The targets started popping on a slow but steady basis

• Pennies — solid 60s and 70s signals, easy to pick out even in the trashy playground dirt.
• Then a sweeter hit... a nice dime shining up from the scoop! "Got a dime. All right. That counts. Add that to the goodie pile."

By the end of the session, the pouch had 6 pennies and that shiny dime. Not a huge haul, but in the cold, under the lights, with a storm rolling in? Every coin felt like a win. The Simplex Plus separated the good from the junk perfectly—no hesitation, clear IDs, and that reliable depth even in sandy/grassy playground soil.

Why the Simplex Plus is perfect for quick night hunts like this:

• Lightweight – no arm fatigue even after a long day
• Waterproof – no worries if there's dew or a puddle
• Beginner-friendly – turn it on and go, no complicated menus
• Great in trashy areas – playgrounds are full of pull tabs and bottle caps, but it nails the coins

Even with the Winter Storm Watch, the detector didn't miss a beat. Sometimes the best hunts are the ones you sneak in right before the weather shuts everything down!

Watch the full live session here (real-time digs, signals, and my cold-weather reactions):

If you're out there braving the cold or just watching from the warm couch, drop a comment: What's your favorite cold-weather detecting tip? Or have you hunted right before a storm too?

Stay warm, keep that coil low, and happy hunting—no matter the forecast!

Nokta Makro Simplex Plus CRUSHES Playground Coins! Watch the Action Unfold

Hey diggers and treasure chasers—it's Zeke (aka Glenn) back with another fun hunt recap!

If you're new to metal detecting or just love those quick, rewarding park sessions, the Nokta Makro Simplex Plus is hands-down one of the best beginner-to-intermediate machines out there. It's lightweight, waterproof, super easy to use, and punches way above its price point. And today? It absolutely crushed a local playground hunt—pulling coin after coin like it was on a mission!

I headed out to a nearby playground on a beautiful day—sandy patches, grassy areas around the swings and slides, the usual spots where kids drop everything. Swung the Simplex Plus in Park mode (no fancy settings tweaks needed—just standard coil low and steady swings), and the targets started popping right away.

First up: a solid hit in the 60-70 range. "Hoping for a dime," I said to the camera... and boom—shiny dime in the scoop! "Got a dime. All right. That counts. Add that to the goodie pile." Sweet start!

Then another beep—this one a bit different. "Oh, wait. What is that?" Dug it up and pulled out a little 90s-era bobble thing—maybe a necklace charm, bracelet piece, or some kind of pendant bobble. "Some kind of... I don't know what that is. Uh bobble thing. Something you put on your necklace... bracelet things or something? 90s." Nostalgic mystery find—love those!

Next signal: 60s again, but it was overshadowing a higher tone. "Oh yes... you saw how the pennies were returning 60s and then it was overshadowing the 90 which is guess what? A quarter. Nice!" Out comes a solid quarter—classic Simplex Plus accuracy. When that machine says 90, it's almost always a quarter. Reliability like that makes hunts so much fun.

The pile kept growing—more clad pennies, the dime, the quarter, and that fun little bobble. No silver this time, but tons of action in a short session. The Simplex Plus didn't miss a beat, even in the trashy playground dirt. It separates targets nicely, gives clear IDs, and just keeps beeping on the good stuff.

Why I love the Simplex Plus for playground/park hunting:

• Beginner-friendly—no complicated menus.
• Great depth and separation in trashy areas.
• Waterproof for those splash zones near water features.
• Lightweight for long swings without fatigue.

If you're thinking about getting into coin hunting or need a reliable all-arounder, grab a Simplex Plus. It turns ordinary playgrounds into treasure zones!

Winter Storm Alert – Time for a Last-Minute Night Coin Hunt!

Hey everyone, Zeke here from Zeke's Metal Detecting Finds!

With a big winter storm rolling in and the weather turning nasty, I knew I had to squeeze in one more detecting session before everything gets buried under snow. So I grabbed my Nokta Makro Simplex Plus, my trusty Foxelli headlamp, and headed out to a local playground for a quick night hunt. High-traffic drop zones under the swings are always reliable, even in the dark!

The playground lights were on, the air was crisp, and the ground was still clear enough to swing the coil. It turned out to be a fantastic decision because the finds kept coming:

• 3 not so shiny quarters (always love seeing those pop up!)
• 1 dime
• 1 nickel
• 3 pennies

That's a solid little pile of clad coins in just a short session! The Simplex Plus was performing great in the cold, giving solid signals, and the headlamp lit up the entire area perfectly for easy digging and spotting targets.

Night detecting is one of my favorite ways to beat the crowds and find spots that get overlooked during the day. With the storm coming, this might be the last hunt for a while, so I'm glad I made it out.

If you're thinking about trying night detecting this winter, my top tips are:

• Get a good, bright, waterproof headlamp (the Foxelli has been a game-changer for me)
• Focus on high-traffic playground areas and drop zones
• Dress warm and bring extra batteries!

Check out the full livestream replay here to see every dig, signal, and find in real time:

What about you? Do you detect in the winter? What's your favorite cold-weather spot? Drop a comment below – I'd love to hear!

Happy (and warm) hunting,

Night Metal Detecting GAME CHANGER! This Tiny Light is INSANE

Hey everyone! Zeke here from Zeke's Metal Detecting Finds.  

I just dropped a new YouTube Short about one of my recent night hunts, and I had to share the details here on the blog. If you haven't checked out the video yet, head over and give it a watch: Night Metal Detecting GAME CHANGER! This Tiny Light is INSANE

This time, I headed back to a local playground after dark for some night coin hunting. Last week I pulled a beat-up bracelet (or part of one) from the same spot, so I figured there might be more goodies waiting in the grass under the swings.

The real star of the show? My new Foxelli headlamp! This little compact light is a total game changer for night detecting:  Super bright output  

• Fully adjustable beam  
• Waterproof and tough for outdoor use  
• Clips anywhere – I attached it to my belt/waist for hands-free lighting while swinging the coil

It lit up the entire area perfectly, letting me see exactly where I was detecting without needing a big bulky flashlight. No more tripping over roots or missing signals because it's too dark! 

The playground drop zones and high-traffic areas around the swings are always good for clad coins, and night hunts are quieter with fewer people around. If you're thinking about trying night detecting, I highly recommend grabbing a reliable headlamp like this one – it makes all the difference.

Watch the full Short to see it in action and how well it performs during a real hunt!

50s on the Detector? Oh Yeah... Me Likes! Possible Early 2026 Banger! #metaldetecting #silver?

Hey diggers, fellow treasure chasers—it's your man Zeke (aka Glenn) checking in from the dirt!

(Yeah, that's right—Zeke is the pen name / online handle I've rocked for years on the blog, YouTube, and all the hunts. But when the camera's rolling and I'm talking straight to y'all, sometimes the real name slips out: Glenn here, aka Zeke. Keeps things fun and real, right?)

It was a crisp January morning in 2026 (we're already building momentum for the year!), and I hit up one of my go-to spots for a quick mobile coin hunt. Nothing planned—just me, the trusty detector (Fisher 1225X vibes or Simplex+? You know I switch it up), and that familiar hope for something to kick things off strong.

The signals were meh at first—trash, clad pennies, the usual suspects. Then... bam. A solid 50 lights up the screen.

If you've followed along long enough, you know what I always say: "50s usually means something good." I couldn't help but grin and mutter to the camera (and the hole), "I'm not gonna say anything... I'm just gonna dig it. But 50 is very nice most of the time."

Heart pumping. Little snort of excitement (yep, still do that). Careful scoop... "Come on, talk to me, Smalls!"

And out it pops—a small, shiny little beauty, pretty clean and looking way better than expected. That classic "yes yes yes" moment when the dirt falls away and you see the potential silver vibes.

"Oh yes. Me likes right there. Nice!"

This one's got me buzzing—definitely contender for early 2026 standout find so far. Small package, big smile. (I'll clean her up, get solid pics, and ID it properly soon—silver dime? Costume piece with conductivity? Tiny relic? Stay tuned!)

Shoutout to all of you who dig with me virtually or in person—thanks for the support. Whether you know me as Zeke from the blog posts or Glenn from the live streams and recaps, we're all just out here swinging coils and chasing that next beep.

If a 50 pops for you? Dig it proudly. The dirt loves to reward the patient (and the excited).

Keep that coil low, stay safe, and happy hunting!

Zeke (aka Glenn)

Discovering Treasures in the Cold: My Winter Metal Detecting Adventure

Hey everyone, it’s Zeke (aka Glenn) here from Zeke's Metal Detecting Finds!

Even though the winter chill has really set in, I couldn’t resist heading out for another hunt. Bundled up against the cold, I grabbed my trusty detector and hit a local playground, ready to see what secrets the frozen ground might give up.

The Hunt Begins

I always start with a quick sweep around the perimeter—those edges often hold the best surprises. Sure enough, my first solid signal was a shiny quarter! Nothing beats that crisp “clink” in the scoop on a freezing day. It got me fired up right away.

As I kept swinging, the detector kept talking back with all kinds of signals—some promising, others definitely not. Quarters have always been one of my favorite finds—they’re reliable, classic, and just plain satisfying to pull out of the dirt.

Challenges and Discoveries

Winter detecting isn’t easy. The cold bites hard, your fingers go numb pretty quick, and the ground can be stubborn. But that’s part of what makes it fun. I kept telling myself: you’ve gotta dig a lot of trash to get to the good stuff. Foil, pull tabs, bottle caps—they all come with the territory.

The real keys are patience and solid pinpointing. I dug every decent hit, and more often than not, it paid off. Persistence is definitely the name of the game in this hobby.

A Day’s Worth of Finds

By the time I called it a day, I had a nice little haul of clad coins: $1.70 total — 5 quarters, 3 dimes, 2 nickels, and 5 pennies. It may not be a fortune, but every coin adds up, and it’s always exciting to watch that pile grow on a cold winter day!

Here’s the full hunt captured on video so you can come along with me:

I could hear kids laughing and chatting in the background as I packed up—always a good reminder that the park is still full of life (and plenty of lost goodies!).

Wrapping Up

There’s something really special about metal detecting in winter. The quiet, the crisp air, the satisfaction of finding coins when most people are staying inside by the heater. Whether it’s a single quarter or a nice handful of clad, every signal is a little mystery waiting to be solved.

I left that day with frozen fingers, a full pouch, and a big grin. Can’t wait to get back out there soon.

Until next time—keep swinging, stay warm, and happy hunting!

VDI in the 50s? It Could Mean Silver Jewelry (or Costume Bling) – Not Always What You Think! #MetalDetecting #NightHunt #ZekesFinds

Hey, it's Zeke (aka Glenn) from Zeke's Metal Detecting Finds!

In my latest night coin hunt, those mid-range signals in the 50s VDI had me excited. I was hoping for some classic 1950s silver coins, but what came out of the ground? Silver silver-plated/costume with strong conductivity instead!

Quick VDI breakdown (approximate numbers – these shift depending on your detector, soil, depth, and target orientation):

VDI in the 50s Range – Typical for...

• Silver jewelry (rings, pendants, earrings, thin bracelets): Frequently lands 45-65
• Silver is high conductivity, but jewelry pieces are usually smaller or thinner than coins, so they read lower than a solid silver quarter (which hits 85-92+). A nice silver ring can easily pull 52-58, especially if it's a slim band or has stones.
• Costume/fashion jewelry (nickel, chrome, silver-plated): Same mid-range zone, often 50-60, tricking you into thinking it's real silver.
• Other mid-conductors: Aluminum screw caps, pull tabs, older clad on edge, or deep copper items.

It's that sneaky sweet spot – high enough for a promising tone, low enough to keep you guessing!

For comparison: True silver coins (like Roosevelt dimes or Washington quarters) almost always lock in with crisp, consistent high tones.

The video shows one of those 50s VDI digs step-by-step – the solid signal, the careful dig, and the shiny reveal. No coin, but definitely some cool history!

Quick Tips for the 50s Zone

• Dig them – especially in older parks or yards. A 54 could be a silver ring worth keeping!
• Swing from all angles – Jewelry often flips numbers more than coins.
• Tone is king – Consistent mid-high tone? Grab the shovel.
• Night hunts make every find feel special – cooler air, no distractions, and that flashlight glow on the bling.

Have you ever dug silver jewelry on a 50s VDI? Or had one fool you completely? Share your stories in the YouTube comments or hit me up @ZekesMetalDetectingFinds – I love hearing your hunt tales!

Keep swinging, keep digging those mystery signals – the 50s zone is packed with surprises!

My Go-To Gear for Metal Detecting + Morning Brews ☕⛏️

Good Morning!

Hey everyone, it's Glenn aka Zeke from Zeke's Metal Detecting Finds here! Whether I'm out swinging the coil for clad coins in the Breakeven Quest or just starting the day with a strong cup of coffee, having the right gear makes all the difference.

I've put together my latest Amazon list called "Coffee Brew and Metal Detecting" – check it out for the tools I actually use in the field and at home. From waterproof detectors to night-hunting headlamps, plus some solid coffee setup hacks!

Top Picks from the List:

• Nokta Simplex+ Waterproof Metal Detector – My main machine! Fully waterproof, great for playgrounds, beaches, or anywhere the clad hides.
• Garrett Pro-Pointer II Pinpointer – Essential for zeroing in on those signals without digging massive holes. The lost alarm has saved me more than once!
• Ultra Bright Rechargeable Headlamp (Foxelli) – Perfect for those epic night hunts – 1200 lumens, waterproof, and clips right on.
• Ballistic Nylon Mini Tool Pouch – Keeps all my diggers, pointers, and extras organized on my belt – no more fumbling in pockets.
• Ultralight Knee Pads – Because kneeling in the dirt for hours hurts... these make long sessions way more comfortable.
• Coffee French Roast Pods + Reusable K-Cups – Fuel for the hunt! Strong dark roast to get me going, and reusable pods to save cash and reduce waste.
• Hollyland Lark M2 Wireless Mic – Great for livestreaming hunts or podcast episodes – crystal clear audio even outdoors.

Bonus Hack: The EpiPen Container Repurpose! ⛏️💎

One underrated item on the list? The EpiPen 2-Pak. Now, full disclosure – this is first and foremost a life-saving allergy tool, and I always carry one for safety during long outdoor sessions (bees, unknown plants, you name it – better safe than sorry!).

But here's the metal detecting pro tip: Once the EpiPen is safely used/replaced (or if you get an empty trainer/demo one), the tough plastic container is PERFECT for repurposing! It's compact, waterproof, crush-resistant, and has a secure clip lid. I use mine as a quick-access holder for:

• Precious clad coins & jewelry finds during a hunt (keeps them from getting scratched or lost)
• Small relics or targets you want to protect
• Even earbuds, spare batteries, or tiny trash items until you get home

It's free(ish), durable, and fits right in your pouch – one of those "why didn't I think of this sooner?" hacks that makes every hunt smoother. Safety + smart storage? Win-win!

Breakeven Quest Update: Night Grind at the Playground – Another Step Closer to Paying Off the Detector!

Round 11 - 50

The Breakeven Quest marches on! This fun (and slightly obsessive) challenge is all about recovering the full $259.93 cost of my metal detector through clad coins only – no silver, no relics, just honest pocket change pulled from the dirt. Every hunt adds to the tally, and every penny counts toward that glorious zero-balance moment.

Current Quest Progress (Round 50):

Progress Status - Round	50
Price Paid	$259.93
Clad Coins This Round	$0.47
Clad Coins To Date	$35.40
Break Even $ To Go	$224.53
Detecting Time	49:55:00

I'm now over 13.6% paid off – slow but steady progress! This latest round's modest $0.47 came from a solid night hunt at the playground (the same spot I swept during the day just one week earlier). Night sessions bring their own rewards: cooler weather, empty grounds, and that focused headlamp glow that makes every signal feel epic.

In this session, I pulled:

• 1 quarter
• 1 dime
• 12 pennies (the bulk of the clad haul – these little guys are the real MVPs of the quest!)
• A handful of costume jewelry pieces (sparkly rings and such – fun bonuses that don't count toward break-even but add excitement)
• And the inevitable trash bonanza – pull tabs, foil scraps, bottle caps, and playground bits galore

The clad total for the night was around $1.37 (quarter + dime + pennies), but per quest rules, only the pure clad contribution bumps the counter. Digging through all that trash was worth it – fresh drops keep appearing even in repeat-hunted spots, proving playgrounds are clad machines if you're persistent.

Night hunting vibes are unbeatable: zero crowds, peaceful swings, and the satisfaction of bagging trash while adding to the quest fund. It's a reminder that the hobby isn't always about big scores – it's about showing up, grinding the signals, and watching those small wins stack up over time.

The quest still has $224.53 to go, but with consistent hunts like this, we're chipping away. Imagine the day I hit $259.93 in clad – detector officially "free"! Until then, every clad penny is a victory.

50s Mixed Signal at the Playground...

Jackpot or Junk?! – a perfect example of the frustrating yet educational side of metal detecting in high-trash areas like playgrounds!

50s Mixed Signal Drama: That Heart-Stopping Playground Hunt That Turned Out to Be a Tease.

Playgrounds are notorious for their mix of potential keepers and endless modern trash – pull tabs, foil, bottle caps, you name it.

In this quick live-style YouTube Short, I captured one of those classic "is this it?!" moments that every detectorist knows all too well.

It started with a promising hit: a 50s mixed signal popping up on the screen. "Ooh, 50s mixed... that might be something!"

I said, excitement kicking in instantly. That mid-range VDI with some iron chatter often screams "could be an old coin" in trashy spots, especially around mulch and playground equipment where history and junk collide.

I swung in for a quick dig in the soft mulch – love how easy it is to cut plugs there! But then the classic playground fail: "Oh man, I lost it already."

Turns out I might have kicked the target out of the hole during the excitement. After a quick re-sweep and relocate ("Looks like it's more over here"), I zeroed in again. "Here we go... Dig quick on it there. I think I kicked it out. There it is."

Finally recovered... but the punchline? "Wow, that was throwing me. That should have been a better target, I think." The signal was deceptive – a classic case of trash mimicking something good, or perhaps masked iron playing tricks.

No epic silver this time, just a reminder that 50s mixed signals in playgrounds are often pull-tab nightmares or foil surprises rather than jackpot coins.

These moments are gold for learning: mixed signals demand caution, fast recovery in mulch helps avoid losing targets, and playgrounds will test your patience every single time.

But that's the thrill – you chase the possibility, dig the uncertainty, and walk away wiser (and usually with a bag of trash to prove it!).

Watch the full short for the real-time rollercoaster of hope, mishap, and honest commentary:

Have you ever chased a 50s mixed signal only to dig trash? Or had a playground hunt turn into pull-tab paradise? Drop your horror stories (or miracle saves) in the comments – I love hearing how you handle these tricky signals!

Night Swing at the Playground: 6 Clad Pennies and a Trash Bonanza After a Daytime Hunt

Round 10 - 49

Playgrounds are always a mixed bag – high traffic means lots of drops, but also tons of modern junk. I decided to give this one another go, but this time under the cover of night, exactly one week after my daytime session.

Why night? Cooler temps, zero crowds, and that quiet focus where every beep feels amplified. Plus, sometimes the machines behave a little differently in the dark (or maybe it's just me getting dialed in!).

I geared up with my detector, headlamp (or flashlight setup – crucial for seeing plugs and avoiding trips!), and headed out.

The plan was simple: revisit the areas I hit before, check for missed signals, and sweep the spots I might have skipped in the daylight rush.

The result? 6 clad pennies – nothing flashy, but solid pocket change and proof that fresh drops keep coming even in hunted ground.

These little coppers were scattered, some shallow, some requiring a careful dig to avoid missing them. No silver, no wheats this time, just honest modern clad that adds up over sessions.

And the trash? Oh man, lots of i – pull tabs, foil wrappers, bottle caps, bits of aluminum from playground equipment, you name it. 

Playgrounds are trash magnets, especially around swings, slides, and mulch areas. Every other signal seemed to be junk, but that's the game: dig the iffy ones because you never know when a penny hides among the foil. I bagged it all and left the site cleaner than I found it.

Night hunting changes everything – the beam of light on the coil, the quiet satisfaction of each find, and that peaceful feeling of being out there solo while the world sleeps.

Returning to a spot so soon showed me how quickly things turn over; what was hunted last week still had a few keepers waiting.

Lessons from the hunt:

• Night hunts = stealth mode and better concentration.
• Re-hitting spots pays off, even shortly after.
• Trash is part of the deal – dig it, remove it, and keep swinging.
• Clad pennies might not be exciting, but they keep the hobby funded and the motivation high!

If you're thinking about trying night detecting at parks or playgrounds, go for it – just be respectful, use good lighting, and pack out all trash. It's a different vibe, but super rewarding.

What's your experience with night hunts? Do you find more clad in the dark, or is it all about the peace and quiet?

Share your stories in the comments – and if you've got a favorite playground spot that keeps giving, spill the beans (without doxxing the location, of course)!

How to Hunt Around Metal Poles: Turning Interference into Targets (And Why 66 Isn't Always a Penny!)

Playgrounds are goldmines for coins, but those metal poles, fences, and structures can drive you crazy with false signals and masking. In this quick live highlight clip, I break down exactly how I approach them – and how a fast coil sweep can turn potential trash into a worthwhile dig.

It starts simple: "Okay. So, here is metal pole, metal structure." As I swing back in toward the pole, the detector lights up with a fast beep and that classic VDI reading of 66. You know the one – in most machines, 66 screams "penny" all day long. My first thought? This could be a good one hiding right in the iron zone.

But here's the reality check: the pole is throwing interference, making the signal jumpy. Thanks to the quick coil action, though, I can still isolate that there's a legit target in the 60s range worth checking. "But this is kind of throwing you here. But because it's got that fast coil action, I'm able to distinguish at least that there was a target here that I need to take a look at."

I dig it carefully... and out comes a zipper pull! Not the penny I hoped for, but still a solid find – and proof that those mid-60s signals around metal can be sneaky. "And being in the 60s, that's probably another uh let's see, it's probably another penny or in this case a zipper pull. Those zippers. Okay, zipper. All right."

The key takeaway? Don't write off targets near poles just because of interference. Use fast, controlled sweeps to punch through the noise, pay attention to repeatable beeps, and always dig those iffy 60s hits – especially in high-traffic spots like playgrounds where modern trash (zippers, pull tabs) mixes with potential keepers.

This short is packed with real-world advice: no fancy edits, just honest detecting and a reminder that 66 can mean penny... or it can mean zipper pull. Either way, you're learning and cleaning up the site!

Watch the full short here for the live demo and see it in action:

The Magic Moment: Pulling a Quarter and Dime Right Next to Each Other Live!

More Clad Coins

Metal detecting is full of surprises, but every once in a while, you get one of those back-to-back finds that makes your heart race. In this quick live highlight clip, I captured exactly that kind of rush – and I wanted to break it down here because moments like these are what the hobby is all about.

It started with a solid sweep over a promising patch of ground. The detector gave me that sweet high-70s signal – you know the one that gets your hopes up instantly. "This could be a dime," I thought. Maybe. Yeah... let's check it out.

I zeroed in, dug carefully, and boom – out came a quarter first! Nice, but the signal wasn't done yet. There was another target right nearby. After isolating it (pro tip: patience pays off when targets are close together), I dug again... and there it was: a shiny dime!

Seeing that quarter and dime sitting side by side in the dirt? Pure gold (well, silver in this case!). The excitement in the moment was real – "Oh yes... Right there. It's a dime. Wow." That's the raw thrill of live detecting: no edits, no filters, just the genuine adrenaline of discovery.

What makes finds like this so special isn't always the monetary value (though old coins are always a win). It's the story – two keepers hiding inches apart, waiting for someone to come along and say hello. It reminds me why I love getting out there, whether it's a park, beach, or forgotten field.

If you're new to the hobby or a seasoned pro, clips like this are a great reminder: keep swinging, stay patient with those iffy signals, and isolate when you can. You never know when the next "could be a dime" turns into two solid hits!

Round 9 of 2026: Playground Hunt – "Next Stop, What Will I Find!" Live Stream

Hey treasure hunters, playground prospectors, and fellow detectorists!

Glenn here (aka Zeke) back with the recap of my latest outing. On January 10, 2026, I went live for a daytime mobile metal detecting session titled "Next Stop, What Will I Find!"—and took the hunt to a familiar playground spot I hadn't hit in about a year.

Back to the Playground – Windy but Worth It

With the temperature in the 50s (wind chill making it feel like the mid-30s) and some serious gusts, it wasn't the most comfortable day, but the mulch-covered playground made digging easy and quick.

I focused on swing areas, "drop zones," perimeters, and gaps around structures—classic kid-drop spots.

Using the Nokta machine (now with 38+ hours on it), Garrett Pro-Pointer, and knee pads, I swept methodically while chatting live with everyone who tuned in.

The chat was great as always—thanks for the company on this windy adventure!

The ground gave up a decent mix of modern clad, small jewelry bits, and the usual playground trash army.

No ancient relics or silver this time, but solid practice and some fun little keepers to add to the 2026 collection.

Highlights from the Hunt

• Coins: Multiple pennies (including 2004 and 1989 dates), dimes (like a 2011), a nickel (with that hopeful silver tone—turned out clad), and a quarter.
• Jewelry/Charms: Several small charms or bracelet pieces, a broken pendant with a diamond-like design (probably costume, but cool detail!), and an earring from a prior spot.
• Other Finds: A lighter (wait, no—a pencil left for the kids to find!), a tiny unidentified item, and typical trash like foil, pull tabs, zipper pulls, wire, crushed foil balls, and underlayment pins.
• Trash Total: Lots and lots—playgrounds are trash magnets, but every piece cleared makes the site better for next time.

Overall, a fun, productive session proving that even in windy, cold conditions, consistent hunts pay off with clad and surprises. I've been stacking up about $32 in clad over 40+ hours—slowly breaking even on the detector cost while enjoying every minute!

Why Playground Hunts & Live Streams Shine

• Easy Digging: Mulch = fast recovery, no deep holes needed.
• High-Traffic Potential: Kids drop coins and jewelry constantly—prime for modern clad and small gold/silver if you're lucky.
• Live Fun: Real-time reactions to signals and digs make it interactive and exciting.

Round 8 of 2026: Nighttime Metal Detecting Adventure – "What am I Thinking 🤔 Night and Metal Detecting!"

Hello night hunters, treasure seekers, and fellow insomniac detectorists!

Glenn here (aka Zeke) with the latest recap from my ongoing 2026 detecting streak. On January 8, 2026, I went live once again after dark for a mobile metal detecting session titled "What am I Thinking 🤔 Night and Metal Detecting!".

Embracing the Nighttime Mystery

What was I thinking? Well, clearly I was thinking more night hunts are the way to go! There's an undeniable magic to detecting under the cover of darkness: the world quiets down, distractions fade, your headlamp becomes your spotlight, and every signal feels extra exciting. This mobile live stream kept the #metaldetecting #mobile #livestream #irl spirit alive, with real-time digs, chat interaction, and the full unfiltered experience of hunting at night.

The session drew a solid audience (already over 8,200 views and climbing!), proving that late-night treasure hunting has a dedicated following. Thanks to everyone who joined the live chat and kept the energy high while the rest of the world slept!

Highlights from the Hunt

The ground gave up a modest but satisfying haul while I fought through plenty of junk:1 Quarter – a nice U.S. clad addition to the pouch

• 2 Dimes – more change stacking up for the year
• A lighter – practical (if a bit random) find—always interesting when modern items pop up
• Plus lots of trash (pull tabs, foil, bottle caps, and assorted junk keeping the site cleanup in progress)

No big keepers or foreign coins this night, but the clad adds to the totals, the lighter is a fun pocket find, and every trash piece cleared makes future hunts better. Night detecting keeps delivering that unique excitement!

Why Night Hunts Keep Calling Me Back

• Focused Intensity: No crowds, cooler temps, and pure concentration on the signals.
• Live Community Magic: Chatting with night owls worldwide makes it feel like a shared adventure.
• Streak Momentum: Eight rounds deep into 2026 and still going strong—consistency breeds opportunity!

Round 7 of 2026: Night Hunting Pays Off Big – Euro Coin, Swiss Army Knife, and More!

Hey treasure hunters and night owls!

Round 7 Finds!

Glenn here (aka Zeke) with an exciting recap of my latest adventure. On January 7, 2026, I switched things up with a nighttime mobile live stream titled "Another Night 🌙, Let's find more coins".

Hunting Under the Stars

There's something truly special about detecting at night—the peace and quiet, the beam of the headlamp cutting through the dark, and the heightened thrill every time the coil lets out a promising tone. This mobile live hunt had me out after sunset, swinging away and sharing every dig in real time with the live chat crew (huge thanks to everyone who stayed up and joined the fun!).

The cooler night air made for a great session, and the ground was generous this time—delivering some international flavor and a classic multi-tool surprise alongside the usual clad.

Highlights from the Hunt

• 1 Dime – good ol' Roosevelt adding to the U.S. totals
• 1 Nickel – always fun to hear that distinctive tone
• 4 Pennies – modern coppers and zincs filling the pouch
• 50 Cent Euro – the standout coin of the night! A nice foreign keeper with some cool details.
• Swiss Army Knife – definitely the highlight! A functional multi-tool find—I'll clean it up and see if it's in working shape.
• Plus... over 50 pieces of trash (pull tabs, foil, bottle caps, and junk galore—clearing the site one piece at a time)

What a rewarding night—no skunk, some solid clad, and two awesome non-coin finds that make detecting so addictive!

 Why Night Hunts and Live Streams?

• Unique Vibe: Fewer people around, cooler weather, and laser-focused hunting.
• Live Community: Real-time reactions and chat make it feel like we're all digging together.
• Streak Booster: Keeping the momentum alive deep into the first week of 2026!

Round 6 of 2026: Another Solid Clad Day on Mobile Live Hunt!

Hey everyone, dirt fishers and coin shooters!

Glenn here (aka Zeke) back with the recap of my sixth consecutive detecting session of the year. On January 6, 2026, I hit the go-live button once more for a mobile hunt titled "Let’s Keep Finding Stuff! #metaldetecting #mobile #livestream #irl".

Staying Consistent in the New Year

Six rounds in six days — loving this early 2026 streak! This mobile live stream had me swinging in some of my go-to spots, digging signals in real time while chatting with everyone who dropped in. As always, the live format delivers the full experience: good tones, trash pulls, and those satisfying coin pops straight from the plug.

The ground cooperated again today with a nice pocketful of clad — nothing ancient or silver this time, but 88 cents recovered is 88 cents that’s no longer lost!

Today’s Finds

• 2 Quarters – $0.50 toward the yearly total
• 3 Dimes – another $0.30
• 8 Pennies – rounding it out to the full $0.88 in clad
• Plus the expected pile of trash (pull tabs, foil, and assorted junk keeping the pouch balanced)

No skunk, no complaints — every clad coin is proof the coil is over productive ground, and consistent days like this are how the big finds eventually show up.

Why Live Mobile Hunts Rock

• Pure Realism: You see every dig, good and bad — just like real detecting.
• Great Chat: Thanks to everyone who hung out and shared encouragement!
• Motivation Multiplier: Perfect for keeping the momentum going strong.

Round 5 of 2026: Clad Adds Up on Another Mobile Live Hunt!

Night Hunt!

Hey fellow detectorists and treasure seekers! Glenn here (aka Zeke) checking in with the latest from my ongoing detecting streak. On January 5, 2026, I went live once again with a mobile metal detecting session titled "Let’s Keep Finding Stuff! #metaldetecting #mobile #livestream #irl".

Keeping the Momentum Rolling

Five rounds into the new year and I’m still hitting the ground running—literally! This mobile live stream took me back to some productive spots, swinging the coil and digging every good signal in real time. The live chat was popping (thanks to everyone who joined and kept the vibes high!), and it’s always fun sharing the unfiltered hunt with you all: the promising tones, the plug pops, and yes, the inevitable trash pulls.

The ground gave up a nice handful of clad today, proving that consistent hunts really do pay off—even when the big silver or jewelry stays hidden.

Today’s Finds

• 4 Quarters – $1.00 in clad, always a welcome sight!
• 2 Dimes – adding another $0.20 to the pouch.
• 1 Nickel – the classic buffalo or Jefferson beep.
• 6 Pennies – modern zincs and coppers adding to the total.
• And of course… lots of trash (pull tabs, foil, bottle caps, and can slaw keeping my trash pouch full and my discrimination skills sharp).

Total clad for the round: $1.31 – not a fortune, but a solid reward for a couple hours of swinging, and way better than a skunk!

Why These Live Rounds Are Gold

• Realism: You see the trash along with the treasures—exactly how detecting works.
• Community: Live suggestions and encouragement make it feel like we’re all out there together.
• Motivation: Perfect for anyone needing that nudge to grab their detector and get outside.

Quick Find Spotlight: A Cool Pendant from the Hunt!

Hey treasure hunters! Glenn here (aka Zeke) with a fun little highlight from one of my recent digs.

While out on a mobile metal detecting session, I got a promising signal and popped this neat pendant out of the dirt! It’s got some great detail and character—definitely one of those finds that makes you smile. I’ll be giving it a gentle clean soon and might share an update if anything cool (like a maker’s mark) shows up.

Check out the short video where I recap what I found that round!

90s Target ID on My Metal Detector... Means QUARTERS Almost EVERY Time!

Hey fellow treasure hunters!

If you've been metal detecting for any length of time, you know that feeling when your machine locks onto a solid, repeatable signal in the 90s on the Target ID (VDI) scale. Heart rate goes up. Pinpointer comes out. You just know something good is down there.

In my experience — after hundreds of hours in parks, schools, tot lots, and beaches — a clean VDI reading in the 90s (90–99) means it's a quarter about 99% of the time. Seriously. It's gotten to the point where I almost don't even get excited for anything else in that range anymore... because it's almost always George Washington smiling back at me!

Why the 90s = Quarters (For Me)

Most modern detectors (I'm running a [your detector model if you want to mention it]) assign quarters — both clad and silver — a VDI right around 92–96, sometimes creeping up to 98–99 depending on depth, soil conditions, and orientation. 

Here’s the breakdown I’ve seen over years of digging:

• 90–91: Occasionally a deep quarter or a nickel sneaking up high
• 92–95: Quarter city. Clad modern quarters dominate here.
• 96–99: Often older silver quarters (pre-1965) or deeper clad ones pulling slightly higher numbers

Pull tabs? Bottle caps? Screw caps? Sure, they register but well below on the VDI scale.... but once you hit a tight, repeatable 93–96 from multiple directions, that's quarter territory 99% of the time in my hunts.

Proof in the Plug – Watch This Insane Dig!

I caught one of these textbook 90s signals on camera recently, and the reveal did NOT disappoint. Solid tone, perfect VDI bouncing between 94–96... and boom — quarter! 🤯

You can literally hear the excitement in my voice as soon as that number pops up. Classic “I already know what this is” moment.

Pro Tip for New Detectorists

If you're still learning your machine:

• Trust those high 90s signals in coin-shooting spots (parks, schools, playgrounds).
• Always check from multiple angles — quarters give super consistent numbers.
• Dig them! Even if you think you “know” it’s a quarter... every once in a while, the detector gods throw you a silver surprise or even a bonus dime stacked underneath.

What’s Your Experience?

Drop a comment below and tell me:

• Do you get the same results with 90s VDI = quarters on your machine?
• What’s the highest VDI you’ve ever seen on a quarter?
• Ever been fooled by a 90s signal that WASN’T a quarter? (We’ve all been there 😂)

Keeping the Momentum Going with "Let’s Find More Stuff!" Live Stream

MOMENTUM

Hey everyone, treasure hunters and dirt fishers! Glenn here (aka Zeke) back with another quick recap as we roll into Round 3 of the new year. On January 3, 2026, I fired up the mobile setup once again for a live detecting session titled "Let’s Find More Stuff! #metaldetecting #mobile #livestream #irl".

Another Mobile Adventure in the Books

This stream was all about maintaining that early-year momentum: heading out with the detector, staying mobile, and digging whatever the ground decided to give up in real time. The #irl vibe delivered pure, unedited action—signals, swings, digs, and great live chat interaction. Thanks to everyone who tuned in; the views and likes are climbing steadily, which keeps the motivation high!

I hit some familiar spots hoping to build on the previous days, and while it wasn’t a banner day for silver or relics, we did pull some clad out of the dirt—and battled the usual trash suspects along the way.

Highlights from the Hunt

• Three quarters – solid clad recovery!
• One penny – every cent adds up to the 2026 totals.
• And yes… lots of trash (pull tabs, foil, can slaw—the classics that keep us humble and our holes honest).

No big jewelry or old coins this time, but consistent hunts like this clear the junk and set the stage for future keepers. Plus, the live chat made it feel like a group dig—huge thanks to everyone who hung out!

Why Go Live?

• Unpredictable Excitement: Anything can happen on the next beep.
• Real Interaction: Viewer suggestions, encouragement, and shared stories make it feel like we’re hunting together.
• Daily Inspiration: Perfect way to stay motivated and get out there regularly.

Digging into Day 2 of 2026: Finds from the "Let’s Find Something! LIVE" Stream

Hello again, fellow diggers and treasure seekers!

Glenn here (aka Zeke) with a quick recap of my second metal detecting adventure of the new year. On January 2, 2026, I went live once more for a mobile hunt titled “Let’s Find Something! LIVE”—and while the ground wasn't overflowing with gold, we still pulled some keepers out of the dirt!

The Hunt: Mobile Live Detecting in Action

This was another fun mobile livestream, taking the detector out to a familiar spot in hopes of kicking off the year strong. As always with live streams, it's all unscripted: the signals, the digs, the trash pulls, and those exciting moments when something good pops out. The chat was great (thanks to everyone who joined!), and even though views are still climbing (33 so far—early days!), it was a blast sharing the experience in real time.

The reality of metal detecting shone through today—lots of trash to sort through (pull tabs, foil, can slaw, you name it), but that's part of what makes the good finds feel so rewarding.

Today's Finds:

• A cool pendant – definitely the highlight! It's got some nice detail.
• One quarter – always nice to get some clad back.
• Three pennies – adding to the coin count for 2026.
• And... a whole lot of trash. (The usual suspects that keep us humble!)

No silver or relics this time, but every dig is practice, and getting out there consistently is what leads to those epic days.

Why These Live Streams Are Awesome

• Real-Time Thrills: You never know what the next signal will be.
• Community Vibes: Chatting with viewers and getting suggestions makes it interactive.
• Motivation Boost: Perfect for inspiring your own hunts—grab that detector and hit the dirt!
