My Heart Skipped A Beat When I Found Diamonds Metal Detecting

Welcome back to the Metal Detecting NYC channel! I changed strategies this year and the signature find in this video proves that. When I metal detect the beach in the past, I spent most of my time during low tide in the swimming area. I have ignored the dry beach. I realized that it takes a while to get people swimming. The water temperature has to warm up and there has to be good weather (especially on weekends). In this video you will see me pull some beautiful jewelry with my XP Deus 2 metal detector in the dry section of the beach.

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 22 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 in New York City. Think of mudlarking as metal detecting without a metal detector.

120 Subscribers to 50,000! CAN YOU HELP ME GET THERE? Please and thank you! :)

[@Prof.Polymath]

Hi Meryl, can I contact you in some way to discuss sending you some items / detector upgrades that I make? I’m sure you could make good use of a lot of my items. I’ll happily send them to you for free for your honest feedback. Thanks.

[@timanderson8321]

Every time I see you find car keys I keep picturing in my head Bob Barker and the price is right saying a new car

[@Stack_Silver]

You’ll get there! I mention you and share your channel to all of my detector friends as well in other channels comments… Soon enough, you’ll be knocking on the door of 100K subscribers, just keep this great content coming!

[@MOTOMINING]

wow I remember when you had 9000!

Congratulations

i CAN TELL UR A TEACHER THAT STUDENTS WILL REMEMBER AS THE ONE THAT MADE A BIG IMPRESSION & WITH LOVE. I was lucky to have a few !!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you so much!

[@TheMedicalDetectorist]

Hi Merrill, Great finds. I just started MDing 6 months ago, mostly on the beach! Love your videos especially the beach beach tips. I recently subscribed, good luck getting to 50K! I also enjoy using GoTerrain especially going to prior places to see where to concentrate and to track distance, time, and finds. GL & HH! TMD

[@hp2412-m7o]

Great video. Lots of good info.

[@KenLord]

so did the diamonds pass a test? I really wouldn't expect diamonds in a junk plated piece. It never fails to stun me for what people will pay for junk jewelry ... or even designer real jewelry that only contains a small amount of precious metals just to have a brand on them.

[@perrywoodman7544]

High tide rip current cuts. Good luck stay safe.

[@promogod11]

Additionally we have a natural Hunt coming.up Aug 4th....would love to have you there. It's in Colchester CT...3 hours tops from your neck of the woods

[@jimcollins9999]

Nice briar patch. Nickle & dimes and the notorious Zinkcoln's, but the Angel shined upon you! 😁 "whoever holds the key, owns the ride"

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

It was a Breyers (Ice Cream) patch that produced some Haagen Dazs!!!! :)

[@vossierebel]

Wow Merrill... almost at 50K - That will be a great reward and steppingstone to the 100K!! Go big! Thanks for all you do!

11:37 that is one old school bottle opener with what looks like a magnet back to hang on the fridge.

[@Gary_Daytona]

Lol, it looked like you were detecting in the Sargasso Sea there for a while. Talk about a crappy place to swim, you’d come out looking like a sea monster. Nice find, good advice, great video as always Merrill.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Hope you are well Gary!

@@MetalDetectingNYC Thanks, you too!

[@ohiofredl]

Thanks for the hunt.

Thank you!!!!

[@goldringhunter2431]

I got you teacher, it is a bottle opener, not a can opener. Lol

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

LOL!!! You are absolutely correct!!!! :)

[@PatrioticUSAmerican]

It's always a thrill to find jewelry with diamonds in it. My best to date is a .25 carat near flawless diamond ring. So cool. 😊

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Incredible!

[@PatrioticUSAmerican]

@@MetalDetectingNYC - Yes, the lady who lost it for certain wasn't happy to lose such an expensive diamond ring like that.

[@jadefurman2840]

I'm so jealous Merrill. We are flooded and all beaches closed here in the midwest. Get some taco bell for me!

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

Happy 4th and keep up the Good videos. Hope the summer brings you the greatest finds Ever.. Happy Hunting .. Peace

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Happy 4th!!!

[@delvalunearthed]

Your beach is paying off better than the one I frequent down here in Delaware. Congrats on the finds - I've got 2 of those "Angel" pendants, but mine weren't silver.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

It was a very lucky signal.

[@waltbrim5897]

You mention testing metals you think are gold. Do you have a video on the process, if no can you point us in the right direction too some? Really enjoy your video's, especially when you go into full teacher mode. Thanks for doing such a great job of it.

[@brooklyntreasurehunter]

I still havent hit the beach yet this summer due to ankle injury, but Im better now so hopefully be hitting them in the next week or two.

[@GilHendricks]

How do you research the makers mark on silver and gold.

[@zincolnminer6671]

Say you found a silver ring that says for example “HK .925” on it. Put in Google “silver ring makers mark HK” then hit search. Then see what turnd up, and also do an image search.

[@OhioDigger]

Great Hunt & Lecture on Beaches. Good Luck Hunting Those Beaches After the 4th, Merrill. 👍 I'm by Lake Erie in Ohio & I Can Dig the Beaches There but it's Not a Tidal Lake However ; it does Have Consistent Waves. Any tips on What to Look for w/ no High/low Tide? ps. it's full of Black sand & Iron.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Ive always wanted to detect the Great Lakes! So fascinating that there are waves. That means that the fetch is significant enough for that to happen. oceanservice.noaa.gov/education/tutorial_currents/03coastal1.html#:~:text=Wave%20height%20is%20affected%20by,of%20wind%20duration%20or%20fetch.

[@danno5805]

Man you're making me jealous Merrill. It's been detecting since about May 22nd. Still waiting on my detector and now I believe they lost it in the mail 😢 🤯☠️

[@danno5805]

I'm missing out on the best two months of detecting the beach 🤦🏿‍♂️

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Oh no! I hope it gets to you soon. For the fourth, I went to the beaches but ONLY A FEW were in the water. The water temperature is in the high 60's here!

[@danno5805]

@@MetalDetectingNYC that's cold lol the water temperature here in Pensacola is 86 😂 It's a bath

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

Ever wondered why so many zinkers end up on our beaches? I wonder where the gold is usually at compared to the different coins and why that happens.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

I was talking to Terry Shannon about movement of objects and he thinks it happens constantly. Im in the camp now that there needs to be sufficient wind which fuels water movement. Sufficient wind happens every month but more frequently at the end of the summer and months late in the year. I think a lot of people see a zinc signal and skip it, but I have found a lot of gold at zinc numbers.

[@baneverything5580]

Great videos.

[@kaynefryday6637]

You can clearly see a makers mark right under the bottom row of diamonds , have a closer look . Seriously how can you not see that ?

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow! You are right! I am clearly in need of an eye exam!

[@jackg.4874]

Hey Merrill, could you please tell me how long black antenna is on your Deus 2 & where can I buy one ?

[@thingamujigger1585]

I hate to steal your Häagen-Dazs brother, but that is a pewter pocket angel. Still a great find!

[@commanderjank9060]

So the weather in clearwater beach FL on the 4th of July is 91 degrees with a water temp in the 80s+ what day was this hunt? Seems weird to have a springtime hunt video in summer.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

This hunt was less than a week ago. The water temperature in NYC right now is still in the 60’s.

[@commanderjank9060]

@@MetalDetectingNYC whoa that's cold. So happy I live in the great free state of Florida.

It seems like God is speaking to you; praying hands, angel, star of Bethlehem. I enjoy your show.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@olivi3339]

I gotta go to a beach ⛱️!!

[@soothingmusic6857]

Also, did you test the “diamonds” they don’t look set in place rather glued in. Don’t appear to have any prongs or channel settings. That to me would right off the bat tell me they prob aren’t of anything substantial. Still cool though. Nice find.

[@baneverything5580]

Someday all the junk you find metal detecting will be selling as valuable collectible artifacts. "Rare highly prized ancient bottle caps, only 6000 dollars each." Maybe aluminum will become so rare in the future that can slaw and pull tabs will be what everyone desperately looks for?
