Awesome Beach hunt.. The silver came out looking great.. Happy Hunting. Peace

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Danny

Hey Merrill, thanks for all your videos, entertaining but more important is I’m learning, I’m retired and trying to learn how to operate the equinox 900. Your vids help take some of the mystery out. Thanks again

[@brooklyntreasurehunter]

Those finds cleaned up really nice. Great video Merrill.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Anthony

[@bendjohans3863]

what a great tour... god over here we are slowly sliding to wintertimes as the days get rainy and grey,,,i hate winter lol greetings from bavaria

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I prefer summer too Bend! But at least it’s almost woods detecting season.

[@vossierebel]

Second place four times!! Great outings!!!

Thanks again for the hunt. Until next time man.

Thanks David!

SirMerrill, if the opportunity presents make sure the kids visit the Venice Beach areas just north of Ft. Myers. Venice beach is the shark tooth capitol of the world and are amazingly abundant and easy to find! Have enjoyed following your channel for several years, truly appreciate your thoroughness, humor, and humility. Eric in Clearwater, Florida

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Noted! Very cool! 2025 is the year that I visit SW Florida twice. I will be sure to visit. Thank you Eric.

Merrill, Elsa Peretti is a very famous jewelry designer, nice grab. Those pull tabs looked awesome too

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow! Thank you for tuning me in to that.

[@Optrixx]

@@MetalDetectingNYC Anytime, thank you for helping me to become a better hunter!

[@adrianjameSASbury]

My tip for the bone conducting earphones, is to take a hank of the cable, and put it around my neck. It just stops them being pulled away when swinging the detector or the scoop - you're welcome! 🥳🤟

[@jadefurman2840]

Taco Bell and Haagen Daz at the same time!!!???!!! That was awesome Merrill. Well done

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I was going for the mind blow moment! LOL

[@diecast_MikeEspo]

Hey Merrill , great hunt in Florida . I just missed you at Dead Horse . But I did make a video of it . Florida is great , I metal detected Miami once and found tons of coins . Cool video with great finds . Mike Espo . And yes , I can do this every day. 😂😂😂

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Oh wow! I will check it out!

that heart necklace is a tiffany & co product. My wife and two daughters have one. there are two sizes of the heart......the small size is around 350. the larger size is close to 500....great finds... enjoy

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Oh wow! Thank you for tuning me in to that!

[@marklanders630]

I thought I wanted a Deus2, but my old Excalibur 2 found seven rings this week and I was working behind a much more experienced detector than me.

[@TheMedicalDetectorist]

Thanks for taking us along to Fla! I found a silver claddagh ring today too! Those hands on the ring should hold onto the finger tighter😂! HH

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@robinkhan7468]

Nice being down there with you all. I used to take a week at Vero Beach. Miss it. Awesome finds. I was concerned about polishing the opal and in acid, but I guess it wasn’t a problem. Good luck with the kids. 😅

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Robin

[@MikeMcInroe]

Nice hunt Merrill and Florida has some nice beaches, hey? Here on the Atlantic side we have miles and miles and miles of beaches and the latest storm took off a couple of feet of sand....so....off to the beach I go! Mike in sunny Florida

Awesome Merrill…..!!! Where was the Honey Badger…??

[@jamesroeder9519]

Great video Merrill. Nice to see the silver 🙂 Where was the Honey Badger? I sure am enjoying mine. May treasure cross your path this weekend!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you James. I kept this one in my place in Florida. Plus im overdue on ordering more travel shafts.

[@RomanCoinsPro]

👍

[@SolidStateSoul]

Good times were had. So depending on where you are along Florida's coast, and the time of year, the wave height/speed (and riptides) can vary greatly. I was in Destin/Panama City for a few days last month, and the waves there were significantly larger/more violent than the waves in your video here. They had the yellow and red flags out when I was there.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I did a video in FLA when the hurricane came. Things were really moving. I know that even the great lakes have rip currents, im just saying that it is less extreme than the Atlantic coast which has a longer fetch (distance the wind can blow and create wave momentum).

[@MasTejeda]

Cool, you found an Elsa Perrelli. That is a Tiffany Co. necklace. Take it to a Tiffany store they will polish for free.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Really cool! I had no idea until people started commenting! Thank you!

[@markfloyd6816]

Nice digs! And thanks for showing the cleaning method. Cheers!

[@flyingmonkeys9774]

Good times. However, be careful. Some of those shellfish are deadly to touch. Just don't pickup any shells like those at all.

[@ggazzara1115]

Nice hunt Merrill! Why the RTG, where's the Honey Badger?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I have one travel shaft left before I buy some more. I use the standard shaft on mine at home and this one has been down there.

[@paulevans5455]

I noticed that you use "metal shot" in the tumbler, have you tried aquarium gravel ? It works very well with delicate pieces.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I have. I prefer the metal ones.

[@KenLord]

That ring had me pretty excited, that it could be an australian black opal, which would be very valuable. But I dont think such an opal would be set in silver.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

That one geeked me out too Ken!

[@momtrips6783]

Beautiful beaches, nice finds! Just to confirm: was that vinegar you put in the pot with the foil?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

No vinegar. Just baking soda and water. Someone commented that if I add equal parts salt, I dont need to tumble.

[@marinoceccotti9155]

Good hunt. Beware of this cleaning method. Both may damage coral, mother pearl, opal, amber and other soft stones. Some adornments may be glued too, and the boiling water will make them pop.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I appreciate the heads up for the future.

[@angelamillard6418]

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks Angela!

[@phineas117]

is that a elsa peretti necklace???? they sell at TIFFANY. excellent job!!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Now I know! 😂 Before I didn’t! Thank you and others for informing me!!!

I've been having luck with 24khz, salt sens 1, reactivity 0. Adjust the rest as needed. Please try and report back.

[@Gloria-qy3dd]

Hi Merrill, my love to your family.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Gloria

Use equal parts of salt with the baking soda add boiling water but don't boil the silver repeat 4/5 times ..... Even the blackest ring or coin will look like a bought one after..,.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you! I will try that!

[@Gary_Daytona]

Hope you got to soak up some rays too along with the loot Merrill. This answers the question to the song you were playing. “What shall we do with a drunken sailor, early in the morning?” GO DETECTING of course! Lol You get back over to the east coast, give me a holler.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Gary!

[@TonyLynch-r4y]

An Irish wedding Ring its called a cladda Ring it means Hand's over water

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Tony. I had no idea it was a wedding ring in Ireland. 🇮🇪

[@steveh.894]

I enjoyed your video. We get it... "We are detectorists too." Yeah, you ditched them a little. Who wouldn't? 😮You aren't a bad uncle. On the contrary, you are teaching the kids about the hobby and have sparked their interests. Yes, give em' a detector. You'll then be the "man!" Take care.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

Hefty gentlemen in the water. 1st time I ever heard that. What do you do with a zincoln penny early in the morning.......

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

LOL

[@johnurso5184]

Merrill, where did you get the metal tumbler media from ??

[@petermiller293]

Hi Merill. The new firmware for the deus 2 does not have a “beach sensitive” program…there is something called “beach p”. Is that what you recommend using with your adjustments?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Version 2.0 definitely has beach sensitive. I prefer Beach to Beach P.

[@swoosh9000]

I live here in SW FL, and I am just beginning my detecting. I have the Nokta Legend. Can you drop in all of the settings you recommend for the beach detecting like you do in this video?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I cant really speak on other detectors. Reach out to Indiana Tones on iratemetaldetectors.com. He can guide you there.

[@algiordano9214]

I'm headed to my house in Burnt Store Marina on the 29th. Are you going to still be down there? Would like to connect if you are.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

(Sadly) im up in NY now.

[@pirateofallseas]

Hi, are you using the 11’ coil in the water ? If yes, is it stable like the 9’ ?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Yes, very stable. If you hear anything try lowering the salt sensitivity.

[@waltsisco]

Hey Merrill, did you use the dive mode?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

One of these days

[@lisacallaway4421]

Merrill, if I am using my antennae wire attached to coil, can't I use my regular headphones searching in the surf? I don't have the bone conduction headphones, just wireless. I am not getting my head underwater. And what is a "ground grab"? Thanks for the tips!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

You can use your regular headphones as long as the remote is over the surface of the water. If it goes below the water will disrupt the super fast link to your headphones. The solution is the amazing bone conduction headphones. To do a ground grab, hold down the pinpoint button and pump your coil up and down. The Deus 2 will calibrate to the ground. That is arguably the most important thing that you could do. Try to do it several times per hunt. Tune in to when the ground changes. When you feel a difference do a ground grab.

[@lisacallaway4421]

So a ground grab is just a ground balance?

[@ifindmetal]

Where was the Honey Badger scoop at ?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I had this scoop in my place in Florida. I am getting low on the travel shafts.

[@ifindmetal]

@@MetalDetectingNYC those 4inch round scoops are a nightmare in the water , especially after you are used to 8 inch wide ones

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

@@ifindmetal yes indeed!

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

Palm City Beach ? Or Destin ?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Destin would be conditions like this (you have to be in the water), Palm City is East Coast, so I imagine it would be detecting more like NYC.

[@frankthatank2324]

How has no one mentioned that it is illegal to hunt in the water?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

If a policeman or parks service person asks me to get out of the water I would do that. Instead they asked me if I found anything cool.. Do you jaywalk sir?
