The Truth About Digging Trash Signals: What Real Metal Detecting Looks Like

The truth about metal detecting is simple: if you’re not digging trash, you’re not finding treasure. In this episode, Zeke (aka Glenn) leans into the reality of real detecting — foil, cans, mystery tones, and the occasional surprise that makes all the junk worth it.

This isn’t a highlight reel of nothing but perfect finds. It’s the honest, in‑the‑dirt process every detectorist knows: learning your machine, reading sketchy tones, and deciding when a “trash” signal might actually be hiding something better. These moments are where the real learning happens.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re digging too much junk — or not enough — this hunt is a reminder that treasure isn’t just about what you pull from the ground. It’s about the patience, the decisions, and the stories you bring home. This is what real metal detecting looks like.
