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!
