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!

Happy (and warm) hunting,
- Zeke (aka Glenn)
