Round 6 of 2026: Another Solid Clad Day on Mobile Live Hunt!

Hey everyone, dirt fishers and coin shooters!

Glenn here (aka Zeke) back with the recap of my sixth consecutive detecting session of the year. On January 6, 2026, I hit the go-live button once more for a mobile hunt titled "Let’s Keep Finding Stuff! #metaldetecting #mobile #livestream #irl".

Staying Consistent in the New Year

Six rounds in six days — loving this early 2026 streak! This mobile live stream had me swinging in some of my go-to spots, digging signals in real time while chatting with everyone who dropped in. As always, the live format delivers the full experience: good tones, trash pulls, and those satisfying coin pops straight from the plug.

The ground cooperated again today with a nice pocketful of clad — nothing ancient or silver this time, but 88 cents recovered is 88 cents that’s no longer lost!

Today’s Finds

• 2 Quarters – $0.50 toward the yearly total
• 3 Dimes – another $0.30
• 8 Pennies – rounding it out to the full $0.88 in clad
• Plus the expected pile of trash (pull tabs, foil, and assorted junk keeping the pouch balanced)

No skunk, no complaints — every clad coin is proof the coil is over productive ground, and consistent days like this are how the big finds eventually show up.

Why Live Mobile Hunts Rock

• Pure Realism: You see every dig, good and bad — just like real detecting.
• Great Chat: Thanks to everyone who hung out and shared encouragement!
• Motivation Multiplier: Perfect for keeping the momentum going strong.

Round 5 of 2026: Clad Adds Up on Another Mobile Live Hunt!

Night Hunt!

Hey fellow detectorists and treasure seekers! Glenn here (aka Zeke) checking in with the latest from my ongoing detecting streak. On January 5, 2026, I went live once again with a mobile metal detecting session titled "Let’s Keep Finding Stuff! #metaldetecting #mobile #livestream #irl".

Keeping the Momentum Rolling

Five rounds into the new year and I’m still hitting the ground running—literally! This mobile live stream took me back to some productive spots, swinging the coil and digging every good signal in real time. The live chat was popping (thanks to everyone who joined and kept the vibes high!), and it’s always fun sharing the unfiltered hunt with you all: the promising tones, the plug pops, and yes, the inevitable trash pulls.

The ground gave up a nice handful of clad today, proving that consistent hunts really do pay off—even when the big silver or jewelry stays hidden.

Today’s Finds

• 4 Quarters – $1.00 in clad, always a welcome sight!
• 2 Dimes – adding another $0.20 to the pouch.
• 1 Nickel – the classic buffalo or Jefferson beep.
• 6 Pennies – modern zincs and coppers adding to the total.
• And of course… lots of trash (pull tabs, foil, bottle caps, and can slaw keeping my trash pouch full and my discrimination skills sharp).

Total clad for the round: $1.31 – not a fortune, but a solid reward for a couple hours of swinging, and way better than a skunk!

Why These Live Rounds Are Gold

• Realism: You see the trash along with the treasures—exactly how detecting works.
• Community: Live suggestions and encouragement make it feel like we’re all out there together.
• Motivation: Perfect for anyone needing that nudge to grab their detector and get outside.

Quick Find Spotlight: A Cool Pendant from the Hunt!

Hey treasure hunters! Glenn here (aka Zeke) with a fun little highlight from one of my recent digs.

While out on a mobile metal detecting session, I got a promising signal and popped this neat pendant out of the dirt! It’s got some great detail and character—definitely one of those finds that makes you smile. I’ll be giving it a gentle clean soon and might share an update if anything cool (like a maker’s mark) shows up.

Check out the short video where I recap what I found that round!

These quick recovery moments are why we love this hobby—one swing and you never know what story is waiting under your coil!

90s Target ID on My Metal Detector... Means QUARTERS Almost EVERY Time!

Hey fellow treasure hunters!

If you've been metal detecting for any length of time, you know that feeling when your machine locks onto a solid, repeatable signal in the 90s on the Target ID (VDI) scale. Heart rate goes up. Pinpointer comes out. You just know something good is down there.

In my experience — after hundreds of hours in parks, schools, tot lots, and beaches — a clean VDI reading in the 90s (90–99) means it's a quarter about 99% of the time. Seriously. It's gotten to the point where I almost don't even get excited for anything else in that range anymore... because it's almost always George Washington smiling back at me!

Why the 90s = Quarters (For Me)

Most modern detectors (I'm running a [your detector model if you want to mention it]) assign quarters — both clad and silver — a VDI right around 92–96, sometimes creeping up to 98–99 depending on depth, soil conditions, and orientation. 

Here’s the breakdown I’ve seen over years of digging:

• 90–91: Occasionally a deep quarter or a nickel sneaking up high
• 92–95: Quarter city. Clad modern quarters dominate here.
• 96–99: Often older silver quarters (pre-1965) or deeper clad ones pulling slightly higher numbers

Pull tabs? Bottle caps? Screw caps? Sure, they register but well below on the VDI scale.... but once you hit a tight, repeatable 93–96 from multiple directions, that's quarter territory 99% of the time in my hunts.

Proof in the Plug – Watch This Insane Dig!

I caught one of these textbook 90s signals on camera recently, and the reveal did NOT disappoint. Solid tone, perfect VDI bouncing between 94–96... and boom — quarter! 🤯

You can literally hear the excitement in my voice as soon as that number pops up. Classic “I already know what this is” moment.

Pro Tip for New Detectorists

If you're still learning your machine:

• Trust those high 90s signals in coin-shooting spots (parks, schools, playgrounds).
• Always check from multiple angles — quarters give super consistent numbers.
• Dig them! Even if you think you “know” it’s a quarter... every once in a while, the detector gods throw you a silver surprise or even a bonus dime stacked underneath.

What’s Your Experience?

Drop a comment below and tell me:

• Do you get the same results with 90s VDI = quarters on your machine?
• What’s the highest VDI you’ve ever seen on a quarter?
• Ever been fooled by a 90s signal that WASN’T a quarter? (We’ve all been there 😂)

Keeping the Momentum Going with "Let’s Find More Stuff!" Live Stream

MOMENTUM

Hey everyone, treasure hunters and dirt fishers! Glenn here (aka Zeke) back with another quick recap as we roll into Round 3 of the new year. On January 3, 2026, I fired up the mobile setup once again for a live detecting session titled "Let’s Find More Stuff! #metaldetecting #mobile #livestream #irl".

Another Mobile Adventure in the Books

This stream was all about maintaining that early-year momentum: heading out with the detector, staying mobile, and digging whatever the ground decided to give up in real time. The #irl vibe delivered pure, unedited action—signals, swings, digs, and great live chat interaction. Thanks to everyone who tuned in; the views and likes are climbing steadily, which keeps the motivation high!

I hit some familiar spots hoping to build on the previous days, and while it wasn’t a banner day for silver or relics, we did pull some clad out of the dirt—and battled the usual trash suspects along the way.

Highlights from the Hunt

• Three quarters – solid clad recovery!
• One penny – every cent adds up to the 2026 totals.
• And yes… lots of trash (pull tabs, foil, can slaw—the classics that keep us humble and our holes honest).

No big jewelry or old coins this time, but consistent hunts like this clear the junk and set the stage for future keepers. Plus, the live chat made it feel like a group dig—huge thanks to everyone who hung out!

Why Go Live?

• Unpredictable Excitement: Anything can happen on the next beep.
• Real Interaction: Viewer suggestions, encouragement, and shared stories make it feel like we’re hunting together.
• Daily Inspiration: Perfect way to stay motivated and get out there regularly.

Digging into Day 2 of 2026: Finds from the "Let’s Find Something! LIVE" Stream

Hello again, fellow diggers and treasure seekers!

Glenn here (aka Zeke) with a quick recap of my second metal detecting adventure of the new year. On January 2, 2026, I went live once more for a mobile hunt titled “Let’s Find Something! LIVE”—and while the ground wasn't overflowing with gold, we still pulled some keepers out of the dirt!

The Hunt: Mobile Live Detecting in Action

This was another fun mobile livestream, taking the detector out to a familiar spot in hopes of kicking off the year strong. As always with live streams, it's all unscripted: the signals, the digs, the trash pulls, and those exciting moments when something good pops out. The chat was great (thanks to everyone who joined!), and even though views are still climbing (33 so far—early days!), it was a blast sharing the experience in real time.

The reality of metal detecting shone through today—lots of trash to sort through (pull tabs, foil, can slaw, you name it), but that's part of what makes the good finds feel so rewarding.

Today's Finds:

• A cool pendant – definitely the highlight! It's got some nice detail.
• One quarter – always nice to get some clad back.
• Three pennies – adding to the coin count for 2026.
• And... a whole lot of trash. (The usual suspects that keep us humble!)

No silver or relics this time, but every dig is practice, and getting out there consistently is what leads to those epic days.

Why These Live Streams Are Awesome

• Real-Time Thrills: You never know what the next signal will be.
• Community Vibes: Chatting with viewers and getting suggestions makes it interactive.
• Motivation Boost: Perfect for inspiring your own hunts—grab that detector and hit the dirt!
