Old School Pull Tabs & the SP24 Coil: Making High‑Trash Metal Detecting Fun Again

Old school pull tabs are the soundtrack of trashy parks and picnic spots. In this quick livestream highlight, Zeke (aka Glenn) talks about why he moved to the SP24 coil on the Nokta Makro Simplex Plus for those high‑trash areas. With so many pull tabs in the ground, the stock coil can feel a little too “wide,” smearing signals together and making it hard to separate the good targets from the junk.

The smaller SP24 coil tightens things up. It helps isolate individual targets so you can hear the difference between a solid coin tone and a trashy pull tab signal more clearly. You still dig junk—it’s part of the hobby—but you spend less time chasing smeared, iffy tones and more time locking onto cleaner hits that are worth a closer look.

If you’ve got a park or hangout spot you’ve written off because it’s loaded with old school pull tabs, a coil change like this might be exactly what you need to make that site fun again.
