Metal Detecting Ancient Ferry Point: Colonial Era Site, Bronx, NY

The Bronx is the only borough in New York City that is connected to the mainland United States. In colonial era New York, ferries were used as a means of transportation between the (many) islands that make up what is currently New York City. In this video, we metal detect a Ferry Point (a landing for a ferry in colonial New York. The location is Ferry Point Park in the Bronx (Formerly Known as Spicer's Neck). It has had a long history and was a central hub for transportation before the Whitestone and Throgs Neck Bridge were built. It is full of (relatively) ancient American history.

Hi, my name is Merrill Kazanjian. New York City is an amazing place to go metal detecting. We have lots of parks, colonial history and great beaches for beach detecting. I have gone to all five boroughs of New York City To Metal Detect and beyond. I also currently own 16 metal detectors. I want to have the best and I want to help you choose the best as well.

I am a treasure hunter. So in addition to metal detecting, I go mudlarking at sites such as Dead Horse Bay. Think of mudlarking as metal detecting without a metal detector.

My most important series is called Becoming A Millionaire Metal Detecting. I am trying to monetize my favorite hobby in order to do it more in the future. In other words, we put the clad we find in the ground, affiliate earnings, and merchandise earnings in to the stock market and we invest it. This show started in January 2019.

[@brianquilty687]

The item at 8:25 is a roofing tack. It's old, and what they used before roofing nails came into use. Merrill, you should be wearing gloves !! You are digging in trashy areas and could cut yourself on glass, metal etc.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks Brian, I know this sounds ridiculous, but I cant concentrate the same with gloves. My hands start to sweat and I focus on that. I got cut when I started in 2012 but its been years since I got cut. You are absolutely right though and I appreciate the concern!
