Nokta Makro Simplex Plus + SP-24 Coil Keeps Finding Quarters at 90-91

Nokta Makro Simplex Plus + SP-24 Coil

Keeping Quarters Coming at 90-91! 🪙

The Nokta Makro Simplex Plus just keeps delivering great results!

Paired with the SP-24 coil, I’m consistently locking onto quarters in the 90-91 range. This combo is giving clean, repeatable signals and making coin hunts a lot more productive.

Real-world performance: The SP-24 coil upgrade really shines when hunting quarters and other coins. Solid numbers, good separation, and reliable depth.

If you’re running a Simplex or thinking about adding the SP-24 coil, this setup is definitely worth considering. It’s turning good signals into even more good finds.

Real‑Life Night Coin Hunt: Simplex+ in a Trashy Park with Surprise Finds

Real-life metal detecting isn’t always glamorous—most of the time, it’s a mix of trash, noise, and the occasional surprise that keeps you coming back. In this episode, Zeke (aka Glenn) takes the Nokta Makro Simplex Plus with the SP24 coil into a busy park at night to show exactly what that looks like. From trash-filled swings to unexpected finds like a Susan B. Anthony dollar or a tiny earring, every signal tells a story.

Working through iron, foil, and modern junk, Zeke breaks down how recovery speed, target ID, and a small coil make all the difference in crowded urban parks. You’ll see how he reads signals around playground equipment, mulch, and concrete—and how understanding “trash” tones helps you avoid skipping the real gems hiding in the chaos.

Whether you’re brand new to detecting or sharpening your skills, this hunt gives you a candid look at the fast-paced, trashy reality of metal detecting and the techniques that turn frustration into success.

Are Cockroaches Good Luck When Metal Detecting? The Dime That Proved It!

Are Cockroaches Good Luck Metal Detecting?

The Dime That Proved It! 😂🪙

Ever had one of those random moments while metal detecting that just makes you laugh?

During a live stream, a cockroach suddenly jumped right on me! A viewer instantly commented that cockroaches are good luck… and you won’t believe what happened next.

The very next target — a nice dime! Guess the viewer was right 😂

These funny, unexpected moments are what make live metal detecting so entertaining. You never know what’s going to happen in the field!

Have you ever had a strange “good luck charm” moment while detecting? Or a random critter story? Drop it in the comments — I love reading them!

Trash to Treasure: 40 Years of Metal Detecting Lessons from One Trashy Park

Trashy parks can be some of the toughest places to hunt, but they’re also where some of the best stories come from. In this episode, Zeke (aka Glenn) digs into more than 40 years of metal detecting experience to show how foil, tabs, and junk can hide real treasure—and why learning to work through the noise is one of the most important skills in the hobby.

This hunt takes place at a local park loaded with signals. Every tone sparks a memory: tiny foil bits, old school pull tabs, and the kind of junk that makes most people walk away. But mixed in with all that trash are the finds that make the hobby worth it—like a Texas A&M Aggie ring with a diamond worth hundreds, and even an 1871 dime from a past hunt. With a small coil, a good pinpointer, and a trained ear, Zeke shows how to separate the good from the bad and why digging “just one more” iffy signal can change your whole day.

You’ll hear real tips from decades in the field: how to distinguish trash from treasure, when to notch out low numbers, how multi-frequency helps in tough environments, and why skipping low tones can cost you the rarest finds. Whether you’re brand new or sharpening your skills, this is a blueprint for turning trash into treasure—and maybe finding something priceless in your own backyard.

Metal Detecting Break: Cooking Bean Soup in the Field with Cast Iron

Metal Detecting Break

Cooking Fresh Bean Soup in the Field with Cast Iron 🍲🪙

Took a nice break from metal detecting during the live stream and decided to cook something warm and hearty right there in the field.

Using my portable induction burner and trusty cast iron Dutch oven, I whipped up a tasty pot of bean soup. There’s something really special about stepping away from the hunt for a bit, firing up the stove, and enjoying a homemade meal outdoors.

Best part? That hot bowl of soup after swinging the detector for hours. These little moments — good food, fresh air, and a break from the signals — make the whole adventure better.

Metal detecting isn’t just about the finds. It’s about the full experience, including the breaks where you get to slow down and enjoy the outdoors.

Have you ever cooked a full meal while out detecting or camping? What’s your go-to field recipe? Share it in the comments!

Local Park Metal Detecting: Real‑Time Signals, Tools & Tips for Better Hunts

Local parks are some of the best places to sharpen your detecting instincts, and this session is a perfect example. In this hunt, Zeke (aka Glenn) explores a nearby park with his metal detector, sharing real-time tips on identifying signals, choosing the right tools, and understanding how the ground “talks” during an everyday search.

From the first swings, the detector starts firing off tones—some sharp and clean, others jumpy or shallow. I walk through each one as it happens, explaining how I read target IDs, how tones shift when I turn on them, and what makes a signal worth digging. It’s a relaxed, honest look at how real-world metal detecting unfolds in a simple park setting.

The tools you bring matter just as much as the detector. I show how a good digger, a reliable pinpointer, and a comfortable pouch help keep the hunt smooth and enjoyable. Every plug is a small reveal, and even the junk helps paint a picture of how the park has changed over time.

If you enjoy calm hunts, practical tips, and the simple joy of being outside with a detector in hand, this session is right in that lane.
