Metal Detecting Trashy Areas: A (Fun) CASE STUDY In Target Masking

How many bottle caps have you pulled up? How many pull tabs? What happens if you REMOVE these objects in a park that has produced HISTORIC RELICS for you? That is what I did. I used my Nokta Makro Anfibio Multi and my pinpointer to remove the trash from a very trashy area in a very historic park. Target masking target separation.

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. Below I will showcase some of the playlists on this channel:

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.

Excellent Merrill stuff always 😅👌 Take care buddy 👍🏼🍺

[@tunnelportterror]

looks like Normandy Beach after shore bombardment 1944 shell craters in miniature at the end 😏 great video

[@dannybell926]

That was awesome Merrill. The tree needs one of those adopt-a-mile signs on it with your name.

[@mikegilbertmetalartist9334]

Thanks for sharing, I learned a few new techniques.

[@gregoryclayton8287]

Hello Merrill, I believe that the half circle shaped metal thing you pulled out of the ground was an old brake shoe pad from an old car. And then you pulled out some other pieces of a vehicle of some sort, I'm beginning to think that a car may have hit that old tree hard at some time ago? car pieces everywhere.... plus, that's probably why the poor tree looks kind of strange? Wow, the place looks like Bottle Caps City, God bless you for cleaning up that monumental of a metal monster mess? and coins are always nice. At Ah boy Merrill. You're a good man. I dig your show! Signed, Greg the Egg.

[@michaelzsizseri8015]

Awesome Merrill thanks from NJ💍🙏

[@michaelpacnw2419]

Loved this video! I've got a tree near me that reminds me of it.. old spot but nothing but pull tabs, and lots of them. Made me think someone else hit it and cherry picked everything that wasn't a pull tab signal. Now you've got me thinking of going back to clean it out.

[@itsrewiquintal]

One of my fav vids from you Merrill, great idea. I will try this in my favourite park here in Australia in our winter. Thanks a bunch!! '2 get what others dont get, you must do what others wont do!'

[@thehuntergt]

Thanks for the shout-out my man. That is one NASTY site right there. Humans never cease to amaze AND disappoint. You did the right thing by cleaning it up and pulling that wheat and silver out. GREAT JOB!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

It felt good to clean that up! Next time im buying a magnetic rake!!!!!

[@thehuntergt]

@@MetalDetectingNYC Yeah that's a great idea for sure. Used to have one on wheels to do our rock driveway after construction.

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Nice info! Thanks for sharing and take care.

[@bobdole870]

10:30 is a drum brake shoe. Love your videos!!

[@richmikesell812]

Excellent

[@gfr2023]

Very interesting I know a picnic spot with great potential that I was fantasizing to make a cleanup of bottle cup first.... definitely i'm going to do that !!!!

[@huntinquincy4238]

That takes a lot of patients! I love the idea though and sweet deal pulling out a silver and some wheats

[@parkratmetaldetecting3747]

Super video man, thanks for the free education

This is my wife's account, my name is Ken. You have the best channel on you tube. I've probably said these things before, but if I'm ever in NYC I gotta met you.

[@azmetaldetector5918]

That is a really good idea. I admire your patience. You have inspired me to try this out here in some of my old lots in Phoenix

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I have gotten the greatest tip on this. There is something called a magnet rake. I just ordered one. Cant wait to try it!

[@Traxxis03]

Not sure if you'd still see this after 4 years, but I'm about 85% sure the large iron object at 10:28 is part of a drum brake shoe (backer maybe).

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I see it! Thank you for the ID!

[@detectingsmiths9350]

You absolutely earned that silver. Goes to show you that dedication and persistence will pay.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you so much Detecting Smiths! I passed that tree all the time and it needed some love! I gave in to some OCD joy! Thank you for watching!

[@echols1925]

Man you are cool....You really encouraged me..I also live in a city with nothing but trash like yours....havent been hunting cause i get nothing but trash..but i see how it works...no trash no treasure..Amen..???

[@marilynrosa8929]

You got your steps in

[@DETECTOMETAL]

VERY INSTRUCTIVE, EXELENTE VIDEO. SUPER LIKE

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

THANK YOU Detecto Metal!!!!

[@bravobob1]

Have you had a chance to go back ? The area in the background looks interesting. I like the old light posts as a clue to age.

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

I've thought about it a lot .I want to bring my roll around magnet for the bottle caps I could bring a rack also . The parks I go to it's illegal to have glass bottles but they don't care , man it's worse than your park but that's a good plan buddy plus that up and down is good for the gut 😎

[@ronralphsson7296]

I would move the can closer. You obviously love detecting.Thanks for the in site and strategy.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

There was a BRILLIANT comment during the premiere! There is a magnetic rake that is sold for 11 dollars. MY JAW DROPPED!

[@undernetjack]

maybe a side hobby, melting metals down into bars?

[@brianquilty687]

Excellent job Merrill. Your determination will pay off big time one of these days at some site. The item at 23:19 is a brake shoe from a car.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Hey Brian! Thank you!

[@undernetjack]

Er, 10:30

[@near--zero]

meanwhile the next person to empty that trash can has to deal with 200lbs of metal scrap xD

[@IndianaTones]

Definitely get mixed signals lol

[@IYar56]

I like using a magnet 1st. 😁

[@d.rodrickeamon6133]

A close-tined rake, perhaps?

[@mrmcclung]

Take your 600 here (in multi, & field) you will be impressed.. Ps. Dumb question.... Do they still do the "tab" thing for dialysis kids ?

[@echols1925]

What you think..I have the xp orx and like you I hunt allot I mean allot of trash parks..I get around any electrical interference.. My machine chatter like crazy there only thing to do is change frequency..I really want a 800.. But seen so many post on Shaft breaking.. Coil nip breaking... The new update stinks... What you think

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

You are talking yourself out of buying the BEST machine I’ve ever used. The Equinox is a monumental achievement!

[@luvsnowblading1618]

Our silly 🙃

[@ericme3317]

Which pinpointer do you recommend for extremely trashy areas?

[@925inder2]

You say narrow sweep, I say wiggle lol.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wiggle works too! LOL

[@tunnelportterror]

the 2nd big scrap looks like bottom of shifter from a car

[@grindsoul]

Hey MDNYC, do you document and submit that information on finds to the state in reference to the metal detecting license I applied for years ago? I never renewed it but wondered if you actually followed the protocol or just go out and do your thing? And have you been ever harassed or had your "paperwork" checked by anyone?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I will just say in quotations that "I totally follow all the rules"........FYI Im originally from Bayside here.

[@grindsoul]

@@MetalDetectingNYC lol copy that. Jackson Heights here. I've used my detector at the beach a few times, felt like an ass.. I might dust it off and try again in some old parks. Thanks for the inspiration because I thought it would be next to impossible to detect here with all the false hits.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

DMac of Queens that’s the thing! And I’ve been there too! My favorite times to detect are when beaches/parks are empty. Mornings and evenings. Although I’ve gotten a lot more comfortable with it in public. That dorky feeling is what PREVENTS people from detecting. It gets better in time. Start in the summer and HIT IT HARD in the winter!

[@tonytony-gg1rp]

@@MetalDetectingNYC except for the part on the NYC permit that says no metal detecting within the drip line of a tree, and most importantly the part that doesn't permit metal detecting in ferry point park.

[@robertwynn5844]

I would have brought a rake if possible and a small coil

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

My friend suggested one of the magnetic rakes! MIND BLOW!!!!!

[@zipngo1]

Z Dude how can you stand the way that machine sounds? I could never own one!

[@jamesshively7549]

try taking a rake next time. you might be able to round up the caps faster and easier

Why didn't you bring the bin over ??

[@carolynevalaitis7495]

Merrill, why did you pause your membership?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Hey Carolyne I just joined a network called Mediacube. Networks help push Contant out to give creators more exposure. I believe that this is a temporary thing and it should be back online today. I truly appreciate your generosity and patronage! I have been uploading to Metal Detecting NYC consistently since the beginning of 2019 which is almost four years ago (2019, 2020, 2021, 2022). I have uploaded 600 videos and 40% of them get less than 10 views per month. There is clearly something I’m doing wrong or that I can do better so when Mediacube reached out to me I agreed to give it a try. I can’t thank you enough and I appreciate your understanding!

[@carolynevalaitis7495]

@@MetalDetectingNYC just make sure you include me if you go back to KZbin, I believe in you love your teaching of metal detectors and your adventures on the beach, in the park and mud larking. Please make sure you start up the membership when you change your strategy .

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

@@carolynevalaitis7495 Yes of course! I believe that it should start up again today but I am not sure. I will reach out to mediacube. I am extremely grateful and I thank you!
