Honey Badger Scoop Travel Shaft BACK IN STOCK: www.iratemetaldetectors.com/product-page/honey-badger-scoop-travel-shaft

[@CanadianTreasureHunter]

That pin is NHL Detroit red wings logo time stamp 32:03

[@Mystic_Librarian]

That Manhattan project token has to be the most historic detecting find ever. Gratz Merrill what a find.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!!!!

[@dizzious]

My thoughts exactly. How the heck did it end up there? Insaaaaanely rare find.

[@chrishumphries1516]

Yup ;)

[@MrSmithOriginal]

Hey I believe that military button at 9:30 is a US Army general service button and an old one judging by the shank. Thanks for the video!

[@scottbeadling5808]

Army transportation core

[@JC-xf5xb]

At 18:45 your coin is a 1928 German - Weimar Republic 0.50 Reichspfinnig, Composition is Nickel, Mint Mark "A" is for the Berlin Mint, Minted from 1927 to 1938. It may be worth a few dollars. The lapel pin at 3:56 looks like an NYPD Motor (Motorcycle) Squad Pin. The shield looks like a NYPD Patrol Shield and the Winged Wheel represents Motor Squads. I couldn't find anything for that pin so I don't know the vintage. Love your videos. You had a great day, congratulations. The Manhattan Project Pin IS better than Sushi.

[@JC-xf5xb]

Hi Merrill, At 3:40. The Lapel Pin you found looks to me to be a NYC Police Motor (motorcycle) Unit Pin. The shield is a NYPD Shield and the winged wheel is a Motor Squad/Unit Insignia. It even has the clasps, unbelievable, they always fall off.

[@kic7009]

That's a NHL Redwings pin...

[@goose33]

@@kic7009 that's what I thought lol

[@JC-xf5xb]

@@kic7009 Except that's not an NHL Shield and that's not a Red Wings logo. An NYPD Shield is flat at the upper corners just like on Merrills pin. An NHL Shied is concave at the upper corners. A Red Wings wing is slightly concave within the wheel and then mostly Convex from the wheel hub up. On Merrills pin the wing is concave from the hub up. Two very distinct differences. The Red Wings wings are all curved on the top. On Merrills pin the wing has a point on the top. Nice try though, thanks for playing.

[@kic7009]

@@JC-xf5xb lmfao congrats buddy 👏 you positively identified some junk. I hope this made your day

[@kayesdigginit1519]

I think the old Chevy key would've been my favorite find 😄 at 10:00 I think that was a door knocker.

[@magicmaui77]

50 Reichspfennig - German coin. Cool find 👍🏻 Didn‘t even manage to find that one in 7 years detecting here in germany 🤠

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow!!!! Thank you for the ID!

[@gregevans3785]

What’s wrong with the pocket watch above your gloves at 24:07

[@jjslibrary]

I thought it said Osterreich on one side, which would be Austrian, right? edit: silly me, it said Deutsches Reich

[@lockedowng]

​@@MetalDetectingNYC looks like a 1937. I think it's a nickel coin before they switched to aluminum.

[@wyattflp6163]

At the 29:10 mark there is a clear piece of glass at the bottom right with holes in it used a flower arrangement haha I like to buy those when I see them at antique/thrift shops yo display my marbles in. Looks like a really fun day man nice video.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@tomgrove6782]

The mystery piece looks like an old piece of conveyor belt splicing. There would be one on both ends of the belt. The loops would fit together and a pin would pass between them.

[@moonrakermudlarks]

I just love watching other mud larks from around the world. It's so interesting to see what type of finds you discover compared to our finds. Thank you so much for taking us along with you. Jacs

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

[@joepiper6064]

At 4:00 looks like a Winged Wheel . For I am from Detroit .

[@javierfilgueira]

4:00 it seems to be the peruvian national shield, with the cornucopia !!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow!

[@chrishumphries1516]

[@chrishumphries1516]

Howdy, I just discovered your channel this year (2023) and I am in Awe..My occupation is 'painting' and there's a saying I like .., 'quality takes time'.. and ' as a show of respect and admiration ' for your time sharing the knowledge of this hobby, so I thought I'd 'let the commercials play (someone told me that gives 'you a little revenue ( maybe just cents.. i dont know) but Merrill, this is the least I can do.. Warm regards my fellow TH'er

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Chris! I am a painter too: youtube.com/@youdraw

[@deepersweeper969]

Best episode ever! Out of a bunch of great ones...How about some more set up tips for the Manticore! MD NYC/ Awesome

[@everett8610]

I never heard of mudlarking till watching your vids sir. You've got me rethinking my whole lakeside walking COMPLETELY.

[@kyliepierson8718]

Wow definitely exciting pretty awesome treasures new to the channel You keep it fun for sure Well definitely will wait until the next one Peace!

[@VictiVivor]

Such epic finds, I so enjoyed this vid. The manhole cover for a mouse made me laugh. Love your sense of humour

[@edhughes8262]

Best 33 mind I’ve spent in a while. History and Horse 🐎 Sushi. Thank you Merrill for sharing 😊

[@jimmymalone3494]

It was a great day Merrill!!! I enjoyed your video and thank you for sharing with us.

[@delilahjustdelilah603]

What a great day! Congratulations on such interesting finds!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you !

[@bjnacidhead]

that was a fabulous days mud larking. as others have said the Manhattan project badge was a top draw find ... a find of a life time. i just sub'd and am now going to watch some previous vids of yours. all the best from the uk

[@dehnger]

Wow lotta fun man, liked and subbed. Thanks for the content!

[@flamingomtn]

EPIC hunt! Thanks so much for taking us along. I can't imagine that kind of hunting. I would definitely have to retrain my eyes.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Marti

[@melbxs]

You and Adele are real characters. I've subscribed. ❤

[@ericmalmstrom9943]

Epic day and Epic video! Great job editing and thanks for sharing!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@heatherrrenea]

@6:10 to 6:15 its probably a leather belt buckle clasp part. (The part that clamps down onto the leather. Just missing the rest of it.

[@gustavogutierrez419]

Amazing,simply Amazing!!!.In the mud!!without a detector and historical pieces!!!👌👌👍👍🙌🙌

[@CamRStanford]

Pretty sure the item around 6:09 is a hinge of some kind. Like the type they use on cigar boxes.

[@gregoryclayton8287]

Hey Merrill. it is worth the wait! besides, it may be better to go just a little later for the weather to warm up some, wouldn't you agree! I hope that it is warm enough in England by then, I'm excited, I feel like I'm going to mud lark in England! Congratulations big man, you broke the bank today, good finds, great finds. I just hope Adele isn't coming down with anything, I don't want anything to happen to our dear Adele, she's a trooper. My prayers go out, had a blast!!!

[@mwdjr3158]

Epic video Merrill! Congrats

[@gregevans3785]

Think something happened to my previous post. Was it a pocket watch at 24:05 above your glove about 10 o’clock.

[@trishferry3533]

Loved the review of your finds. Nice to see every thing together. Thanks for another great podcast.

[@NYGOLD]

I used to go to dead horse all the time as a kid, it was a great place to find old marbles.

[@kippnashleymiller3752]

Your streak in finding treasure was awesome. It’s similar to sitting at a hot table in Vegas and you don’t dare leave that table till it starts to turn. I probably would’ve stayed all night with the finds you had. Congrats

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you! It was tough to leave but I was frozen to the bone!

[@KenLord]

1:50 gotta look for bones when you find a shoe like that :) ... over here on the west coast, roughly once or twice a year a foot is found like that. It's been studied and thought to actually be a reasonable frequency of occurences for how the ocean currents work, and how often people are lost out to sea. I have my own theory. Erosion of the foothills. ... I really hope that the headlands remain intact!

[@joannhempen8210]

Lol manhole cover for a mouse😂😂😂. Loved & Subbed❤❤

[@andynicholls7201]

That looked like a great day Meryl! Hope to see some of those finds cleaned up some time. I'd love to try out some mudlarking but not sure I'd get such great finds here in Cornwall. Looking forward to the next video.

[@jerrydineen2827]

That place is better than Wal Mart. I love the interaction between you and Adele!

[@anthonygarcia7451]

Great Finds, Thank You. 👍

[@ricksholocaust9242]

Very cool finds !!

[@bells1054]

Great finds Merrill! What fun!!

[@edhuffmanmetaldetecting]

Awesome video Merrill... that is amazing you can go and find all that without detecting! I could spend all day down there just going through everything!👍👍

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

It’s New York’s version of The River Thames Ed. I’ve tried detecting there. Very difficult even with a sniper coil. It’s nice sometimes to switch it up and use my eyes.

[@joshshelton796]

Awesome video man!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks!

[@ryangiancola6528]

EPIC DAY!! Congrats!

[@BirdDogg]

Great day of it! 💣🤯

[@michaelmercer2440]

Looks like you found a door knocker. Thanks for sharing, nice work👌

[@jefferyprickett4443]

That one find is an U.S. Army Transportation Corps Insignia for an enlisted non commissioned soldier.

[@unclejustin7267]

Just found this channel and it was so good that I subscribed.

[@martyv23]

The Chevrolet key is a I think a B 10 stock I had identical one I found in my grandmother's house uncut I wish I would have never cut it but I used it for my 1965 Chevy Super Sport Impala pretty cool looking key

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Interesting finds GOLD ! BANNER !

[@Dani-rx1sv]

that little bugle you showed that was in the box, looks like one I got once from a box of Cracker Jack. The prizes back then were usually made of metal. Great hunt, congrats Teach!

[@rossgee2950]

What an epic day Merrill ! Absolutely amazing.

[@kolloduke3341]

Amazing collection of rings WOW 👌 😊

[@LongIslandsHardcoreDetectorist]

Wow what an awesome day you had Merrill. I was dying when you pulled that cold turn knob 😂 perfect for the day you were feeling

[@MetalDetectingDonna]

Looks like fun!

[@jimcollins9999]

Thanks for taking us along on the hunt.

[@VOSR]

I’m happy for you buddy, what a day!! Keep going!

[@idig4udetecting73]

Waking upto another fantastic video thanks great finds Merrill 🎉here in Australia I think I might go for a hunt myself today on a nearby beach 👌

[@gearheadwes]

That German coin is a 50 cent piece. I have a really clean example in my coin collection. Nice find.

[@Maespapa7]

Enjoyed the lesson Merrill,thank you! Manhattan project find - incredible! Till next time…🥇

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Awesome video Merrill 👍🤓👍❤️ from Michigan

[@petesuntrup2095]

Thanks Marrel ….. very entertaining

[@metaldetectingbrooklyn9896]

What an amazing Journey, thank you Merrill.

[@japangrl]

love the us army transportation corps collar pin. that's a pretty cool find!

[@kristenjensen2589]

The little gilded dome is a bead cap. The bead sat in it, and it was either the end of the string or with another to connect on in the string.

[@metaldetectingthenortheast1294]

16:19 watch is an Aquamatic made Nivada Grenchen in Switzerland. They introduced the self winding in the 1950s. Self winding is the older term for automatic so yours is probably 1950s

[@brooklyntreasurehunter]

Awesome finds at DHB, Merrill. Hoping to be heading there in a couple weeks.

[@victorgoncalves2442]

What a day you had , and I missed that unlock songs .🎉🎉 .

[@monkabuda]

Very cool video. When I was a kid me and my buddies used to ride dirt bikes in area that was once a town dump. Some of the stuff that would come to the surface was wild. Lots of old antique bottles...medicine bottles etc. This brought back those memories from the 1970's!!

[@paulsavarese567]

Gold cross and chain! Amazing! I need to get back to DHB!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Hey Paul! Hope you are well!

[@jaimechapa7828]

Sir Merrell what an awesome, amazing videos, i,d love to go there

[@GRIM_SW33P3R]

Dead Horse Bay is my new vacation destination. One day.

[@amberlopez7477]

Is it worth bringing a metal detector there? Or is the beach to cluttered to use a detector there?

[@ddawe31635]

That was fun!❤ congratulations on your finds.

[@StanHaynes77]

The first thing you picked up is a transportation corp badge from the army. The winged frong and the posts on the back gives it away.

[@BryanAiello]

1st thing you found: army transportation symbol. Probably a class a or b dress decoration. Maybe burial at sea?

[@fnorazril]

That Reichspfennig coin is a nice bit of german history. Along with that Manhattan Project token is a really incredible set of finds.

[@bioklastik1062]

I was working out in Montauk last year but didn't get around to detecting. This Summer, I will be working out on one of the Barrier Islands to the South of LI and am hoping to find something cool there.

[@philbartoli2011]

Congrats Merrill epic hunt!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@davesthedude]

the pin with the wheel with wings and the shield.. that could be a Montreal Winged Wheelers football club pin, they were a team from the late 1800s till around the1930s or 40s if im not mistaken

[@williamkaczmarek3996]

@ 3:48, I believe that your "button is a US military collar device. Perhaps the Transportation Corps. @6:05 I believe that may be part of a belt keeper.

[@diyexpeditions]

The light metal piece that had the teeth, is the edge of a 1999-2003 crown victoria hubcap.

[@dawnconner6123]

the 'ikea' thingy is a drawer pull. some beds had a hole in the legs where a fastener of some sort went in there to attach the bedrails. some of these sorts of items were on a pivot the allowed it to swing free and cover the hole for that fatener. they were usually flat though.

[@diggindumbsht9525]

Awesome job! Congrats!

[@darrellbrixey5341]

Awesome video Merrill

[@shakascloset1700]

Amazing finds, congrats Merrill. 👍

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@sandymcgill1910]

that key is a door key for a car.. they used to come with two keys, one for ignition, one for the door.
