Target ID says “maybe nickel”… but every detectorist knows that could just as easily be a pull tab, a ring, or a coin. These are the signals that make you stop for a second and really think about what your machine is trying to tell you.
In this quick live highlight, Zeke (aka Glenn) walks through that classic mid‑tone dilemma. No staged finds, no planted targets — just a real signal, a real decision, and a real recovery that shows how tone, numbers, and experience all work together.
Pull Tab, Ring, or Nickel?
Mid‑tones are where a lot of the learning happens. In this clip, you’ll see how Zeke:
- Checks repeatability to confirm the target is worth a closer look
- Uses coil control to tighten up the signal and reduce guesswork
- Reads the target ID with the tone instead of trusting just one
- Makes the call to dig — knowing it could be trash or treasure
Whether it ends up being a pull tab, a ring, or a nickel, the process is what builds confidence with your detector.
Why These Mid‑Tones Matter
Not every target is obvious, and that’s exactly why these signals are so important. Every time you dig a “maybe” tone, you’re adding to your mental library of how different objects sound and read in the ground.
The more of these you chase, the better you get at telling the difference between trash and something worth getting excited about.
Real targets. Real decisions. Real detecting.
