Throwback Hunts & Modern Finds: Fisher 1225x to Simplex+ (Part 3)

There’s something special about looking back at the journey — not just the finds, but the machines that carried me through each chapter. For me — Zeke (aka Glenn) — the Fisher 1225x will always be the detector that taught me patience, curiosity, and the thrill of chasing signals that could be anything from a crusty penny to a silver coin.

In this video, I’m sharing Part 3 of my classic highlights, blending old YouTube Shorts from my Fisher 1225x with more recent hunts using the Nokta Makro Simplex Plus. These clips capture the raw, simple joy of metal detecting before I had better gear, better editing, or even a real plan — just me, the machine, and whatever the ground wanted to give up that day.

And now, with the Simplex+ in hand, the adventure continues. New tones, deeper targets, and a fun personal challenge: I’m working to pay off my metal detector using only clad coins I dig up. It’s slow, steady, and surprisingly motivating. Thanks for being part of this community and for supporting these throwback‑meets‑modern adventures — it means more than you know.
