Understanding Your Detector: How Coins and Trash Really Read
Zeke (aka Glenn) walks viewers through one of the most important skills in metal detecting: learning how your machine “talks.” Before you can trust a detector in the field, you have to understand how different targets sound and how they register on the screen.
In this episode, he breaks down the basics—sensitivity, volume, ground balance—and then moves into a hands‑on test using real coins and common trash. Pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters, pull tabs, and random junk all get scanned so you can see the numbers, hear the tones, and understand the subtle differences that separate a good dig from a time‑waster.
It’s a simple setup, but incredibly useful. Whether you’re brand new to the hobby or just want to sharpen your instincts, this kind of test garden is one of the best ways to build confidence and improve your accuracy in the field.
If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this worth digging?” this episode gives you the foundation to start answering that question with confidence.
