love the videos as always. tried the crater maker program, made a few tiny adjustments for my beach and pulled 8 rings and 3 chains this weekend. Also if you put a tiny bit like 1oz of CLR in with the media and water it will clean silver like an absolute charm.

[@firefly17292]

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

[@JuanfFigueroa]

Great music,an videos

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Many thanks!

[@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).

[@PublicNationalCamputer-l1l]

Only recently discovered your channel. Nice finds 👍

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks and welcome

[@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

[@ericcampbell6521]

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.

Awesome video Merrill After all, the pool tabs bottle Toy cars canslaw. I finally got gold 3 pieces at once. 3 rings, that is, thank you for your advice. Happy hunting. Hopefully, we get to hunt together someday.💍🗝🙏

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Congratulations on the Sushi!

[@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!

[@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.

[@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! 🥳🤟

[@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!!!

[@MikeyG-MD-LI]

Is that cleaning method only good for silver or does it work with other metals too? Also great video

[@RomanCoinsPro]

👍

[@bojankady9211]

You need one of those floating sieves to dump your scoop in llike some people use on the rivers and lakes.

[@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.

[@ericsmathe]

Look into Jose Gaspar's treasure down there. Get it!

[@thecitytroll]

Sanibel island is where Jimi Buffet lived when he wrote Margaritaville

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

OMG Really? I had no idea! Having spent a lot of time there I understand that song on a deeper level now.

[@ddexter23]

I was detecting St Augustine beach Florida last week and by the peir they are replenishing the sand. I found five .50 cal bullets and one whole .50 cal with 47 stamped on the end which I think stand for the year of manufacture. Never expected to find those there

[@smichalpi]

I like DAvid's accent! Why did Chase unlock tunafish? LOL It would be nice to see you 2 go eat a taco!

[@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.

[@Marc-bp4dv]

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

[@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.

[@matteopedini2155]

Cler ring silver li fanno in Olanda azienda di gioiellieri sia gold e silver 😉😉😏 amico mio

[@KC2BKM]

Hope your place survived the storm. All the bad stuff aside. I would like to know where they are hauling off all the sand that came in with the storm.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thanks buddy. For sure. I could only imagine what was forced ashore. My guess is that it was scooped from the streets and resubmitted to the beaches meaning that the days after the storm are crucial to finding stuff. I don’t think heavy objects like gold rings or chains would ever reach the streets from a tidal surge . I think it would be on the beach further back than the norm.

[@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.

[@ragdollcat7512]

Great vids, informative and fun. Where did you get your tumbler from?

[@charlesmartella]

Have you thought about getting maybe 2 magnets from the detecting shop. You know the ones the gold detecting people put o their picks. Then maybe wrap the magnets up with budgie wire or shade cloth and then wire one on each side of the top of your scoop then when you dig if there's a piece of wire in the sand or a bottle top most times it will jump straight onto the magnet when you get close when you dig. This would save you a lot of time.

[@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.

[@flyingmonkeys9774]

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

[@easternsuneasternsun171]

Im from Florida ,What shell fish are poisonous to touch ?

[@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.

[@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!

[@sc_marauder492]

Question for you sir - Over the years, you've spent countless hours walking the beach(es). I'm wondering about what kind of footwear you like the best... on dry sand?... and on wet? Thanks in advance!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Flip flops. I understand why central figures in MANY different religious wore sandals. The flip flop is the EVOLUTION of the sandal! 🤣

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!

[@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?

Hey Merrill, did you use the dive mode?

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.
