High Tone on the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV – Penny, Dime, Quarter, or a Dollar?

High Tone on the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV

Penny, dime, quarter, large metal… or a dollar

What this clip was about

High tone on the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV can be a large metal object, penny, dimes, and quarters. It also could mean a dollar!

Why I Still Dig the High Tones

High tone on the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV can be a large metal object, penny, dimes, and quarters.

It also could mean a dollar.

Those clean high tones are worth digging because the same signal covers everything from common clad to something better. Large metal can ring up high, coins do too, and every once in a while the machine is pointing you at a dollar.

It’s one of the reasons I still stop for the solid high tones instead of walking past them.

See you in the field.

Bounty Hunter Tracker IV in a Texas Park – Real Tips for Budget Treasure Hunting

$70 Bounty Hunter Tracker IV in a Texas Park

Real Tips for Turning Trash into Treasure 🪙 | Zeke (aka Glenn)

Most metal detectors struggle to distinguish trash from treasure — but what if a $70 machine could still deliver real coin finds? In this episode I take the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV through a sprawling Texas park and share the practical techniques that help it perform.

You’ll learn how switching between All Metal and Tone modes helps identify targets faster, reading signals, using a pinpointer effectively, navigating nails and underlayment pins, overlapping sweeps, and going low and slow for depth.

You don’t need high-end equipment to dig smarter and find coins.

The right approach and a little perseverance can turn what seems like junk into valuable finds. Perfect for budget enthusiasts and anyone eager to get outside and discover what’s under their feet.

What a 10K Gold Wedding Band Sounds Like on the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV – Same as a Pull Tab in Tone Mode

10K Gold Wedding Band on the Tracker IV

Sounds exactly like a pull tab in Tone Mode

What this clip was about

What does a 10K Gold Wedding Band on a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV sound like. Sounds like a pull tab in Tone Mode.

The Signal Most People Walk Past

What does a 10K gold wedding band sound like on a Bounty Hunter Tracker IV?

It sounds like a pull tab in Tone Mode.

That clean, familiar signal most detectorists learn to ignore as junk is exactly what the gold band produced. It’s a useful reminder that not every “pull tab” tone is actually a pull tab, and why some of us still dig the questionable signals.

The Tracker IV doesn’t always separate gold jewelry from common trash in Tone Mode, so the ear still has to make the final call.

The Detector Does the Spotting Sometimes

Surface finds happen when metal detecting.

This one was on the surface, but I did not see it until I passed my coil over it. Still counts! It’s a good reminder that the detector is doing part of the looking for you. Even when something is right there in the open, your eyes can miss it until the coil points it out.

Deep Knee Bends While Metal Detecting

Turning trash targets into free exercise

What this clip was about

This round I am showing another reason to take up the metal detecting hobby. Exercise as a result of bending down on one knee to pickup a target. Note how much "trash" I found with each one equating to 1 possibly 2 or more deep knee bends.

The Unexpected Workout of Metal Detecting

Most people think of metal detecting as a treasure-hunting hobby. What they don’t always realize is that it’s also a quiet form of exercise.

Every time the detector beeps and I decide to dig, I’m doing a deep knee bend—sometimes more than one—just to get down and retrieve the target. In this round I focused on how much “trash” I was finding. Each piece of trash still required the same motion: down on one knee, dig, recover, and stand back up. One target, one (or two) deep knee bends.

It’s not glamorous, but it adds up. You’re outside, you’re moving, and you’re turning ordinary trash into a free workout. That’s one of the reasons I keep recommending the hobby to people who want to get moving without signing up for a gym or a structured exercise program.

Next time you’re out, pay attention to how many times you go down on that knee. The trash pile is also your rep count.

See you in the field.

Night Hunting After Fireworks – How Darkness Helps You Find More Treasure

Night Hunting After Fireworks

Turning Darkness into Treasure | Zeke (aka Glenn) 🌙🪙

Most coin hunters overlook the best finds when they stick to daylight hours. In this real-time night hunt at a fireworks-lit park, I show how hunting in the dark with a simple metal detector can transform your treasure game.

You’ll discover how low-light conditions and ambient noise (like fireworks) can actually boost signal detection, techniques for finding small jewelry and relics in trash-heavy zones, and practical tips for safety, gear, and mindset when night hunting.

The night is full of possibilities. Darkness can be your ally in uncovering treasures others miss.

Whether you’re a seasoned detectorist or just craving fresh excitement, these insights will help you rethink your approach and turn nighttime hunts into legendary adventures.

Why Use a Pinpointer When Metal Detecting?

Why Use a Pinpointer?

Get back to detecting faster

What this clip was about

Why Use a Pinpointer when Metal Detecting! You may spend lots of time searching visually for small objects. But with a pinpointer, you won't and you can get back to metal detecting

Less Time Staring at the Dirt

Why use a pinpointer when metal detecting? You may spend lots of time searching visually for small objects. But with a pinpointer, you won’t — and you can get back to metal detecting.

I’ve spent plenty of time poking around a hole with my eyes and fingers, trying to spot a tiny coin or piece of jewelry in the dirt. A pinpointer cuts that time way down. You get the target located, dig it, and get back to the hunt instead of staring at the ground.

+ My Favorite Gear for Coin Shooting | Zeke (aka Glenn) 🪙

Early morning metal detecting at a local park — quiet, peaceful, and productive. I mixed things up with some relaxed coin hunting and took time to talk about the gear I actually like to use when chasing coins.

I shared my current setup, why I choose certain coils and machines for park work, and showed some of the finds from the morning session.

Nothing beats a calm early morning hunt. Great conditions and time to chat gear!

That Sound That Slows You Down

High tone in Tone Mode means a coin. What coin will it be this time?

I love that moment. Tone Mode gives you the audio hint, a high tone says coin, and then the only question left is which one. You don’t need a long speech for this kind of hunt. Hear it, dig it, find out.

Every high tone is a little suspense. That’s the fun of it.
