Target ID 39 Was a… Nickel! Night Coin Hunt Highlight

Target ID 39 was a… 🤔 Sometimes the simplest signals make the best little moments in a night hunt. In this quick highlight, Zeke (aka Glenn) locks onto a clean 39 and walks through what he’s expecting before he digs. It’s a small, honest look at how tone, target ID, and instinct come together during a real hunt.

The result? A nickel in the pouch — nothing wild, but exactly the kind of satisfying find that keeps detectorists swinging after dark. These quick wins are where confidence grows, especially when you’re learning how your machine behaves at night or in trashy spots.

If you enjoy real‑time reactions, simple coin finds, and the rhythm of night detecting, this clip is a perfect snapshot of the hobby’s everyday magic.

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.

My Favorite Target ID on the Nokta Simplex+: Why 90s Usually Mean Quarters

Every detectorist has that one Target ID that gets them excited the second it pops up. For Zeke (aka Glenn), running the Nokta Makro Simplex Plus, anything in the 90s usually means a quarter—and that clean, steady tone never disappoints. In this quick highlight, he shares why those 90s signals are some of his favorites and how learning your machine’s Target IDs can make every hunt smoother.

Target IDs aren’t perfect, but over time you start to recognize the patterns: the tones that stay solid, the numbers that bounce, and the signals that almost always lead to coins. When the Simplex locks onto the 90s, it’s usually worth digging. This clip captures that little spark of excitement detectorists know well—the moment when the screen and the tone line up just right.

If you’re learning the Simplex or dialing in your own detecting instincts, this is a great reminder that those “favorite numbers” can help guide your hunts and keep the energy up, even on slow days.

Metal Detecting Must‑Have: How a Pinpointer Speeds Up Every Hunt

A pinpointer is one of those metal detecting tools that instantly changes the way you hunt. In this quick highlight, Zeke (aka Glenn) talks about why a pinpointer is a true must‑have for speeding up target recovery and cutting down on all that frustrating signal chasing. When you’re working parks, playgrounds, or tight spots, having a tool that locks onto the target fast makes every hunt smoother.

Instead of waving the coil over an open plug again and again, a pinpointer lets you zero in on the exact spot, recover the target cleanly, and move on to the next signal. It keeps the rhythm of the hunt flowing and helps you spend more time finding treasure and less time digging blindly.

If you’re new to metal detecting or looking to tighten up your recovery time, this little gadget earns its place on your belt every single hunt.

The Headlamp That Changed My Night Coin Hunts: Foxelli in the Field

Night coin hunts are a lot easier when you’re not fighting your own flashlight. In this quick highlight, Zeke (aka Glenn) shares the light he uses for metal detecting after dark and why the Foxelli headlamp has become a game changer for his coin hunts. With hands‑free light, he can swing, pinpoint, and recover targets without losing the spot in the shadows.

It’s a simple piece of gear, but it makes a big difference when you’re working parks and playgrounds at night. If you’ve ever tried to dig a plug while holding a light in one hand and a pinpointer in the other, this little upgrade will make a lot of sense.

If you’re thinking about taking your detecting into the evening hours, this short clip gives you a look at how one good headlamp can smooth out the whole process.

Daylight Savings Metal Detecting: Old Park, Trashy Ground & a Surprise Earring

Daylight Savings Time always feels like a little gift—an early start, a bit more light, and just enough motivation to grab the detector and get moving. This morning, Zeke (aka Glenn) headed back to a park he hasn’t visited in quite a while. The ground was noisy, the trash was thick, and the signals kept him guessing, but that’s exactly what makes these quick hunts fun.

Right away, the detector lit up with all the usual suspects: pull tabs, foil, and plenty of jumpy tones. But tucked between the junk were a few solid hits—a penny, a nickel, a dime, and even an earring hiding in the mix. Nothing huge, but each one a reminder that even familiar parks still have a few surprises left.

This hunt wasn’t about big treasure. It was about getting outside early, listening to the machine, and letting the small wins stack up. Real-world metal detecting is built on mornings like this—quiet, simple, and just rewarding enough to keep you coming back.

Night Metal Detecting Settings That Cut Trash and Find More Coins & Jewelry

Night hunts always bring out the best lessons, and in this session Zeke (aka Glenn) breaks down the real settings and strategies that help uncover coins and jewelry in trash‑heavy parks.

We talk about notching out low signals to cut through the noise, how to read target ID more confidently, and why lightweight, waterproof machines with collapsible shafts make long hunts easier—especially after dark. You’ll also see how tools like the Fox Ellie Light and a good pinpointer help you stay efficient when visibility is low.

If you’ve ever struggled with busy ground, confusing tones, or figuring out which signals deserve your time, this highlight walks through the exact approach I use to dig smarter, not harder. Real examples, real settings, and real finds—just the way metal detecting should be.
