An All Time Great Metal Detecting Day; Like Arkeolog BUT IT'S REAL 😂

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

My Beach Metal Detecting Book: (Forward by Arkeolog😂) www.iratemetaldetectors.com/product-page/merrill-s-guide-to-finding-rings-with-a-metal-detector

[@stinkasscat]

Does this book help with finding rings in parks? I'm trying to learn and mostly hunt parks and ballfields.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

@@stinkasscat yes there is a section about that. But it is much smaller compared to the beach information.

[@stinkasscat]

@@MetalDetectingNYC Thank you, I'm going to purchase it.

[@FlagPony]

I wish you had a hardcopy, I would love to have that. If you decide to put one out, I will definitely buy it!

[@stinkasscat]

@@FlagPony I downloaded it and then printed it out on my printer.

[@colinbrady5182]

I just want to say that I have only been metal detecting for two years and this year I started watching your videos and I have to be honest. Your knowledge is fantastic. You have actually taught me quite a lot for that fine sir. Thank you very much appreciated. Please keep up the good work And what a fantastic day this was for you

[@toveirenbecker2471]

I agree.

[@pm4044]

Which metal detector did u purchase

[@sirkyoj1]

The teaching and entertainment/humor is what has kept me watching this channel. It's cool seeing you evolve this channel. Please bring back the unlocks!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you for the long time support W Diggz!

[@bce1279]

Sushi unlocked 🤣 priceless. Although im slightly offended my name is barry and im not looking at your hole. I feel i need to apologies for the other barry you met merril. Believe it or not barry is secretly a metal detector too and likes your videos

[@protosfotod2416]

Nice intro Merrill ! +1 for the sushi ;)

[@carljohnson8228]

I have been metal detecting for over 20 years, you have one of the best and most informative channels on KZbin on metal detecting. Keep up the good work! Carl Johnson “TheDetectorGuy”

[@jimbop101]

Merrill is the GOAT when it some to MD videos, educational and entertaining. Thanks

[@ufopirate1746]

Just start saying WOW WOW WOW at every find EVEN yunk like the snake video 😆

[@richardcioffari6847]

Hi Merrill, I think that thing you found at 04:14 might be the cutting tip for an oxyacetylene torch. I found one somewhat like it a few weeks ago, and identified it by uploading a photo to Google Lens, which is a surprisingly handy way to identify mystery objects, in case you hadn't known.

[@kylew4920]

I just found your channel yesterday. It has quickly have become one of my favorites. I like how you teach instead of just showing off. Thanks for the education. Great job 👏.

[@stevenvaith99]

Thank You Merrill great video I love my 800

[@stevenvaith99]

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year you and your family be safe

[@hughmungus913]

6:34 I believe the item at this point was a lead acid battery plate, or the remains of one

[@marinoceccotti9155]

"When in doubt, dig it out." has been may motto for years. And it does rhyme. As log as you're on a sand beach, dig on everything.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Yes!!!

[@NLPHow]

Thank you for keeping it real. I am a long way from any saltwater beaches but I enjoy hearing your explanation of the art of beach metal detecting. I know that the field trips you take to farm fields and old homesteads are few and far between but if you're ever able to impart similar knowledge for those sort of sites, which I have an abundance, I'd be especially grateful.

[@jaredrobertson1955]

Don’t stress that much on the likes and subscribers. the people you have that watch really enjoy what you make and everything you do. What an awesome day you had, congratulations. Also I’m so happy you got the manticore in, I really love you website and videos on metal detectors. You are the reason I chose to buy a legend and I’m extremely happy I did. I absolutely love that machine. Eventually in a year or so I’ll look into getting another one. But for now I’m enjoying the legend. You continue doing what you do best and this will grow. Agin thanks for your videos and your channel.

[@1Specie]

Thank you so very much! I have been trying to start metal detecting for many decades. I have a specific limitation which makes it so I am very motivated and work hard at whatever my goals are but I reach the point where I need to make a decision and I am mentally locked. I have a very successful career in Engineering but this is a constant issue that a couple of my buddies privately help me with. (I love them for it). My family is not able to but your videos make it possible to proceed with a short list to present to them so I can have all of my family including my wife metal detecting! Just thank you, so sincerely. Now I am older at 62 and er are going to figure out what to do next.

[@davidlindemuth6182]

I don’t think I’ve seen a video of yours I didn’t enjoy. You are the man Merrill I watch a lot of Metal Detecting Videos but I always enjoy yours the most. Keep it up!!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Honored David!

[@bells1054]

Great video!! That is real metal detecting for sure. Thanks for keeping it real!! All hale the silva king!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks for watching!

[@woody6856]

A red quarter is a thing. A restaurant or bar owner would paint some quarters red, and then use them in the jukebox or pool table. And when the money is collected, the red quarters are the owners, and they get them back.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow! That is fascinating Woody. I always learn something in the comments. Thank you.

[@henrys3629]

Red quarters are from landlords to keep track for some reason. Also used by waitresses to put in jukeboxes in order to encourage patrons add their own quarters when music stopped. Found them before in change. Usually "older".

[@JamesBrown-oo8gz]

I've been detecting over 50 years and gold panning it's lots of fun when you're finding the gold.Like your channel for me it's easy to spot fake channels I skip them.

[@stephenlane5875]

Been detecting and watching to learn for many years but these videos are the best I’ve seen! Entertaining and real. please keep them coming😊

[@jimcollins9999]

That detector hits deep! Lol, Pulse induction depth. Congrats on the silver & gold finds. 👍

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Jim!

[@goodasgold4072]

Wow, that depth with the D2 is amazing. Looking forward to you breaking out the Manticore. Great video, 1K👍!

Great finds! Must have been a blast to find so many good old items at the beach. Keep swinging.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Yes it was!

[@larrygruber1261]

Yes I really enjoy your show It is very important news about how to learn to use a mental detector I really enjoy your show my minelab got stolen years ago I really enjoyed it . But it less I enjoy your show I learn alot from it

[@vernowen2083]

I have to say, I have dug some deep holes on the beach with the 800, while those I'm with tell me to leave it, it's only junk. I guess it's why I have such a collection of antique silver.

[@wizardsofwisconsin7400]

The red quarter….vendors, businesses, bar owners, arcades…..they would color their coins to be able to determine where in the business the coins were being used, a tracking mechanism of sorts. I’ve dug red, blue and green ones, obviously painted or dyed for this purpose.

[@williamalvey632]

You make metal Detecting good I really enjoy your channel for the fun and enjoyment and help you give us many thanks

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks 👍

[@michaelmaresca6557]

What a day Merrill Congratulations. Love watching your channel

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you so much Michael!

[@James-dtexTexas]

I really like this video, so much so that I gave it two thumbs up 👍🏻 👍🏻 ! I only have the Simplex and the Fisher F44 but using techniques that I’ve gotten from your videos has really increased my yield. Thank you friend. Be blessed and stay safe.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you

[@momtrips6783]

What a whirlwind of finds! I thoroughly enjoyed this video!

[@historyhunter3332]

You're doing Awesome!! I am getting ready to start my 54th year Metal detecting ( Dad started me at 4 in 1969) , saw one of those video's , laughed and said FAKE, lol . They are more of a comedy , not real ! Just wished I was in an area, like yours, where you have the opportunity to find more exciting very old history on a more regular basis !! That's why I click "like" on your videos before I even watch them, because I know it will be good and you put time ,effort and talent into making these great videos thank you !

Thank you Kelly!

[@jonfranklin9361]

Awesome day! You are absolutely correct, if the conditions are right you are present, the finds will be found. I mostly hunt inland/old parks. For me last year conditions were perfect, parks department took a bulldozer and scraped off 12 inches of dirt. My best silver day ever.

[@jmorin2270]

My wife said finding gold rings is a pipe dream until I showed her your collection. Ya like a bottle cap to a beer can tab the tone changed up real quick.

[@Baskiii0503]

Glad that you pick up this topic 😁 thaught what the heck is wrong with this kind of channels because all people think its real what they do 😅 Thanks for your great work! Keep on doing your stuff like you do 😁🖖🏽

[@MCB9537]

Very enjoyable video Merrill, as always. The detectorist that did not vary from the coin line was probably a newbie to the detecting world. Or maybe just out for a leisurely lazy detecting afternoon. Thanks for doing your thing. Can't wait to see your review of the Manticore. Waiting for one I have ordered to arrive to be a companion to the NOX 800.

[@ausfox8794]

A great two days detecting with a light heart humour. I’m looking forward to your review of the Manticore.

[@MontereyMagnetMan]

Yup like you said… the fake channels and planters will never know the joy of a day like that one. Awesome video as always brother! 🤙💯

Thanks, great information here.I am very new and dig mostly old nails. Best sound I have dug . Turned out to be a lead pipe . Still fun

The silver earring , nice little stone as well. You get a nice mix..that grate is from a fridge (my guess) lets go all the way to 50,000! Learning lots here, teach. ...came back to the vid and ..chatski..... cracking me up ...LOL

[@FRANKKKKYYYY]

Hello my detecting friend! i am Frank and i am writing to you from the deep North of Canada most of Québec deep North! Man i love your videos i learned so much watching you and listening to you your the Best! The only thing is that you live in USA where there is thousands of beaches ! Here we have the most Lakes, Rivers, Crick and Natural forest in the world! So the beaches are either naturaly small or adventure sites and Camping beatches! I Bought a year ago a Vanquish 540 Pro Pack and for a first detector i am very happy and i like when you do hunt with it! When you use other Detector i listen less about the machine more on your technics of hunting. Here we have 4000 years of history with the indians and 1500 - 1600 colonisations. Last year a man detected, 45 min from my little town, a 3500 old village all because of a detector! So newly retired, 31 years of saving life, from being and officer in special intervention team and crash and rescue. I got badly injured on a rescue mission broke my back i became paraplegic :( Miracles happen after 3 major surgeries and 2 bone transplants it took me 1 1/2 to learn to walk again! So my doctors told me to slowly find activities that would make me walk and move and exercise to my limits! Beside being in the paradize of nature, fishing and hunting i discover Detecting! So i , plz let me kow if i made a good choice with the 540 pro, amd i equiped my self from A to Z for metal detecting. I red and watch so much videos and Boom , an other Miracle, i found You! BOOOUM SUSHI TIME!!! I think i am prety sure i watch at least 85% of your video at this moment and finaly had to write this book to you! Sorry for the lenght of this message but i wanted to say to You a Great Thank You for your work and you passion expessing it in videos! Plz dont stop, you are in my favorite and you cant excape :) God Bless you and you family, Thx again Frank from the deep North (Sorry for my english writing mistakes being french my talking and listening are lot better)

[@jimihendrix258]

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND EFFORTS !!!!!!!!

the wave ring is pura vida it's for people that support cleaning the ocean charities. I know because i have the two stone silver ring. That wave ring could be gold that you have there.

Great video Merrill, that was a good day, have fun with the Manticore I cant wait to see it in action.

[@RealGrubert]

This video was a pile of fun to watch. I have a CTX, a Deus 2 and am waiting for my Manticore, so I am living vicariously by watching your channel. The only thing I do not like about your videos is your swing pattern. I did learn a lot about your approach to the beach in regards to the low and high tide line. I did hear, don't remember where, to go from high to low and find the coin line and stay horizontal to the shore. Never again!!! I will zig zag as you instructed!

You should see me yell At the telly you picking up all that stuff!!! I love that music!!! 😂😂😂👍👌

[@harrisonharding]

So being new and "only" ( i love it) having a simplex plus i can't hunt the water line like you can so i tend to walk the coin line more. So just saying that person could be in the same situation. Just waiting for some big hits to upgrade to either the legend or maybe a Minelab (just a little pricey). Anyway I've learned so much from you and so grateful you share so much knowledge, keep up the great content brother!

[@slashmetaldetecting]

that first ring you found ,,i found that same ring at the ocean here in Maine

[@MrT13]

I’ve watched a few of your videos. And while I don’t get mad when ppl just run the middle of a “patch”. I see this often. Like physics somehow goes out the window out there sometimes I dunno. Little stuff aluminum and silver up high. Coins rings trash in the middle. Gold low. Usually gravity works on the beach too… such a good patch like you got that day I’m with you on the never gridding too for the most part but I grid good patches. I use an old cz20 in salt and yes absolutely a soda tab burps like a 30 gram 14k ring. But if I dig a tab, then another etc I go lower and dig it all. Sometimes there’s layers sure but tide is coming and I’m on the clock. You know what your doing out there my guy 👍🏻👍🏻 if anyone watching this thinks they can just skip over the junk and dig 15-30 or solid mids. You’re missing out. Lot of information in this video and very textbook of the perfect day to find the yellow 👍🏻👍🏻

[@jeanponce2017]

When you look down the beach you see the lines where the tides rise to. Coins can surf and do suft when water is under them and they hydroplane. There does develope a "coin line" persay. But rings DO NOT surf and with the weight of gold they kind of roll with bigger stones, gravel and lead sinkers so they don't get surfed up to that "coin line". In the surf I love finding Stony outcrops like where you had the 3 ring day. When they are not visual I like to find the gravel cuts that kind of stay near the waters edge around the low tide line. If you were to use a Pulse Inductor and not that one they sent you to use. If you used like a Whites surfmaster PI they will nail those chains that VLF's struggle to hit on silver and rarely hit in gold unless it's big or it has the pendant still on it. After you get an ear for a Pulse Inductor you can start to hear iron slams where gold or silver and coins ( non ferrous) pops faster then the longer harder iron signal. The newer Pulse detector like the TDI can be balanced to discriminate but it will cost too much depth do it's better to learn the slight audio difference. Another KZbin content creator called Detector Comparison mostly tests all machines on a mineralized iron loaded salt beach. If you look at him testing the TDI wading where there's no way of planting targets you 2atch him find a tiny gold charm amungst many other finds. He hunts from NY to Massachusetts and he kills the rings like anybody I've seen. But in fairness he dives underwater in shallow water around were docks were or beaches. He also digs tons of lead sinkers. But check out a pulse detector. The one you were sent was totally the wrong machine for beach hunting. That was designed for the minerals in the nugget fields of Australia not our black sand beaches. 12 in is the max coil you should use with a pulse machine or it might hit a gold tooth filling with a coil any bigger. Or it will go crazy over your coin pouch. I wondered why they sent you that model???

[@chuckmoseley1028]

The one you showed Jeff and called a pendant? Do some searches for "taoist silver coin charms". Looks a lot like one. Also interesting you found the yin/yang medallion as well. Both taoist. ✌️😎

Hey Merryl! Maybe the guy who dug before you didn't have a good machine for the wet so he preferred to stay higher up, in the dry. That goes to show you what you're missing without a good SMF machine on the beach 👍🏻

When it settles at low tide I love those cuts out in the water wading. BUT it's mandatory that you wear w weight belt so you can push the scoop down instead of bouncing up or waves pushing you around. It's a little cold for waders now but I have wetsuits.

Hello Merrill, I know this has nothing to do with the video I was curious if you know about the old Roosevelt race track. This track opened 1940 closed 1988 seems like this areas would be a great place to metal detect although it's located in Long Island not sure if that's a long drive for you and who knows it can possibly be developed by now .
