The Find That Still Sits at the Top

Talking metal detectors and metal detecting. Answering the question what my best find was! Texas A&M Aggie class ring!

People ask it all the time, and I don’t overthink the answer. Coins are fun. Pull tabs teach you. But the find that still sits at the top for me is a Texas A&M Aggie class ring.

That’s the kind of target that makes the whole hobby feel bigger than a beep in the dirt. You hunt, you listen, you dig — and every now and then the ground gives back something with a story attached.

See you in the field.

Trash to Treasure – Mastering Signals & Finding Relics in Junky Playgrounds

Trash to Treasure in Junky Playgrounds

Mastering Signals & Finding Relics | Zeke (aka Glenn) 🪙

Most metal detecting adventures are full of trash — until a surprising relic turns up when you least expect it. In this morning hunt I worked a long-overlooked park playground and pulled historic coins and jewelry from layers of canslaw, foil, and iron junk.

You’ll see my step-by-step method: overlapping sweeps, expanding search patterns, reading subtle signals, and using the pinpointer in tight mulch spots. I break down how to sift through the chaos and recognize the sweet tones that actually matter.

It’s not just luck — it’s technique, patience, and training your ear. Learn to decode the signals and you’ll find more keepers.

Whether you’re fed up with endless junk or ready to level up your skills, these practical tips will help you dig smarter and turn trash-filled areas into productive hunts.

Happy hunting, friends!

Pull Tab vs 10K Ring Demo | All Metal to Tone Mode Live Highlight

Pull Tab and 10K Ring Demo, Again

Live highlight — All Metal to Tone Mode

What this clip was about

Live highlight, Pull Tab and 10K Ring Demo, Again! Pull tab and ring demo is back by popular demand. Listen for the tones as I switch from All Metal to Tone Mode.

Hear the Difference Before You Dig

Pull tab and 10K ring demo is back by popular demand. Live highlight — listen for the tones as I switch from All Metal to Tone Mode.

This one is simple on purpose. I run the pull tab and the 10K ring so you can hear how they talk in All Metal, then flip to Tone Mode and listen again. The change in audio is the whole point.

If you’ve been digging tabs and second-guessing gold, this is the comparison people keep asking for. Slow down, listen to the tones, and let the mode change teach you something.

See you in the field.

Quarter in the Dirt | Bounty Hunter Tracker IV + Garrett Pro-Pointer

Quarter in the Dirt

Tracker IV hit, Garrett Pro-Pointer recovery

What this clip was about

Found a target with the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV, kicked out and had to search for it with the Garrett Pro-Pointer. Quarter in the dirt!

The Coin That Hid After the Dig

Found a target with the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV, kicked it out, and had to search for it with the Garrett Pro-Pointer. Quarter in the dirt!

The Tracker IV did its part and gave me the signal. After the plug came out, the coin wasn’t sitting there waiting. That’s the moment a pinpointer matters. I worked the hole with the Garrett Pro-Pointer and there it was — a quarter in the dirt.

No big cache, no wild story. Just a clean hit, a little extra searching, and a coin in the hand.

See you in the field.

Hidden Treasures in Quiet Parks – Playground Coin Hunting Tips & Tactics

Hidden Treasures in Quiet Parks

Playground Coin Hunting Secrets & Tactics | Zeke (aka Glenn) 🪙

Most coin hunters never realize the hidden secrets lurking just beneath the surface — until they learn the right techniques. In this hunt I explored a quiet park playground and turned it into a productive session, pulling coins, jewelry, and fun surprises from rubber mulch, edges, and overlooked corners.

You’ll see my step-by-step process: choosing the best spots, working trashy areas, analyzing signals, and deciding what to dig. I break down real targets like pull tabs, bottle caps, a kid’s ring, and actual keepers, plus why a smaller coil excels in tight playground zones.

Quiet daytime hunts in parks can give you a huge advantage over crowded times. The right approach turns clutter into keepers.

Whether you’re a hobbyist refining your skills or a seasoned detectorist chasing better finds, these practical tips will help you transform any park visit into a treasure-filled adventure.

Tracker IV: All-Metal to Tone — High Tone Still Sounds, It’s a Coin

All-Metal to Tone

High Tone Still Sounds — It’s a Coin — Zeke

What this clip was about

Switched from all-metal to tone mode on the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV.

High tone still sounds. It’s a coin.

If the high tone holds, dig

Switched from all-metal to tone mode on the Bounty Hunter Tracker IV. High tone still sounds. It’s a coin.

All-metal is loud and honest. Tone is the filter. When a high tone survives the switch, I stop guessing and start digging.

See you in the field.

Level Up Your Detecting Game – Playground Tactics for Deeper Finds & Better Target Separation

Level Up Your Detecting Game

Deep Targets, Trash Separation & Playground Tactics | Zeke (aka Glenn) 🪙

Most detectorists stay stuck hunting the same shallow coins in the same spots. But you can find more — coins, jewelry, and relics — just by changing your approach. In this live playground hunt I show strategic sweeping, target separation, and how to read those deeper iron signals.

You’ll see exactly how I work under thick mulch and underlayment, use smaller coils for better separation, and interpret mixed signals. I also break down common tone ranges (pennies in the 60s-70s, nickels in the 30s-40s) and the tactical way I approach playground structures.

Stop settling for surface trash — learn to hunt smarter and pull deeper treasures.

Whether you’re a weekend hobbyist or looking for new strategies, these practical techniques will help you maximize every hunt and turn trash-filled lots into productive treasure troves.
