Tip of the Day – Don’t Let a Dead Battery Ruin Your Hunt

Nothing’s worse than getting out to your spot, turning on your detector… and nothing happens.

Pro move:
👉 Charge your detector, pinpointer, and headphones a couple days before your hunt—not the night before.

Why?
Because life happens. You forget. Cords go missing. Plans change.

Give yourself a buffer so when it’s go-time… you’re ready to dig, not scrambling for a charger.

Trust me—this is a detectorist truth you only learn the hard way

OK John Metal Detectors Tip of the Day!

When you're searching a farmer's field or any large open field, don't just wander aimlessly—look for the big old trees!

Years ago, before air-conditioned tractors and modern conveniences, workers would often gather under large trees to enjoy a break from the sun. These shady spots became natural gathering places where people sat, ate lunch, rested, talked, and sometimes dropped coins, buttons, tokens, and other personal items.

Check around the base of large trees
Search the shaded side and surrounding area
Work in a wider circle around the trunk
Take your time—these spots can produce surprising finds!

Sometimes the best targets aren't in the middle of the field... they're hiding where people once gathered.

Have you ever found something interesting under an old field tree? Share your finds in the comments!

Detectorist Truth
Hours of junk… then one perfect signal.
Sometimes it’s a bottle cap
Sometimes it’s the find.

That’s what keeps us digging.

🪙 Ok John Tip of the Week 🪙 buff.ly/w0MTQmG

Dig the weird signals.

Not every great find sounds clean and perfect, especially gold. Some of the best targets come in rough, jumpy, or inconsistent.

If it makes you stop and think… dig it.

That “weird” signal could be your best find of the day.

05/30/2026

We’ve been putting the Garrett Vortex VX9 to work, and honestly, it’s quickly become our favourite machine so far.

It’s been super consistent, hitting targets clean, and already pulling up some great finds. The depth has been impressive, and it’s been right on point every time we’ve taken it out.

If you’re looking for a detector that performs and delivers, this one is definitely worth checking out.

DAILY TIP from OK John Metal Detectors

Whether you’re brand new to the hobby or have been swinging a coil for years… this one matters 👇

Cutting a proper plug can make all the difference.

Always cut a U-shaped plug instead of a full circle. Leave one side attached like a hinge, this keeps the roots connected and helps the grass recover faster when you put it back.

Why does it matter?

Because nobody likes seeing dead brown spots… and more importantly, it keeps landowners, parks, and communities happy with detectorists

Good digging habits = more places to hunt.

Take the extra few seconds. Do it right. Respect the land. (and your hobby)

Got questions or want to level up your detecting game? We’re always here to help.
