I’ve been wanting to go here for a while but I called the parks dept to see if it was okay after a radioactive contaminant got on the beach and they said it’s no longer safe to go there? Has anyone done any radiological readings of the area? Maybe he just didn’t want me to go down there because they’re trying to discourage people from going. Do you know about any updates regarding DHB because the official message from the parks department is it’s not safe to go there due to ☢️. I would love to go, though. Clearly, you are not deterred!

[@jerrydineen2827]

I love to see you and Adele interacting during your hunts together!!

[@catherineanderson2127]

You and Adele are hilarious together. Looking forward to watching this one!

[@loridietrich2369]

That spoon Adele got is from the World's Fair. She beat you on this spoon alone!😂

[@cdeichhorn]

The item (metal plate) at time line 11:37 with the different geometric shapes is a practice setting plate for learning how to set diamonds called bead and bright cutting.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Oh wow! Thats incredible!!!

[@michaelstein4295]

"🤣I don't wanna touch you"🤣🤣🤣🤣. VERY good video....and VERY nice of you to help her get to England AND VERY nice of her to give you those coins. Smiles and laughs a plenty☺️.

[@Merlin7huna]

Thant a nice collection of American artifacts..that’s a lovely gift ..I think you both did pretty good!..

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

Awesome job 👍🤓👍 I've always wanted to go there poking around.

[@JerseyHistoryHunters]

Was a great day! Awesome to see you again dude!

[@adventuresinmichiganwlisa9852]

🤣✨🤣🤣🤣 Adele wants to look in yr pouch🤣🤣🤣 You go girl👍🤓👍

[@gurl_friday1116]

😁 I love when you two get together it’s awesome, makes me laugh so much

[@dabotta9793]

So nice of her to give you those coins .. awesome. She seems like a good person.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Shes a fantastic person. Always helping other people!

[@IndianaTones]

We need to see Merrill’s Mudlarking Mittens (gloves) 😂. Cool finds

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

I haven't seen her in a while glad y'all are having fun ✌️🤟🖖

[@ArnieTX]

LOL. The best hunts are with a good buddy where the smack talk never ends. Me and my buddy are constant and that is what makes it fun.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

ABSOLUTELY

[@ut000bs]

That spoon is from the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. It's a memento and keepsake. My grandmother went to it. It's one of the 5 percenter finds up there with silver cups. Doggone it, Merrill. She did it. lol Then she gave you two really nice coins. Merrill, she won with just that spoon, man. You gotta work harder. Go! Go! Go! lol You know I'll probably never stop watching your videos and now I got Adele's to watch after I subscribed to her because she finds better stuff than you do. 😉👍‍🖖‍

[@idig4udetecting73]

Haha love the stickers on back of Adele's window lol

[@michaelstein4295]

🤣🤣🤣LMAO🤣🤣 "You can want something to be...but it's not.🤣🤣🤣

[@michaeljackiewicz5637]

at 11:38, that impressions on the metal are "taps." They are used for cutting metal on lathes , back then, and nowadays CNC machines

[@decos2574]

The copper plate at 11:30 is a jewellers practice plate for parvey setting.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow! Thank you for the ID. That is pretty incredible!

[@rverm1000]

I found a space rocks. It made the metal detector sing. Xray shows it had 5% iridium, 35% platinum some gold,iron and a few other elements.

[@אריאלאברהמוב-ז8ר]

The coin you found on minute 8:22 is "50Mils", a British- Palestine coin, from 1920-1948

[@brotherskeepers111]

Its amazing how much silver people discarded back in the day

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Yes indeed!

[@jimmymalone3494]

Awesome hunt!! very nice finds.I enjoyed you're video and good luck to you.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you Jimmy

[@jens.9155]

Prayers for a trip to England! Didn't know Adele had a channel, will definitely subscribe, she's such a character. Love that lady! Great video and great finds. ❤

[@robinkhan7468]

Haha.😅 Charming competition..😆What a fun and fulfilling outing. I’m tickled for creativity by the half moon penny, 🤓 You’re so good with pecking around the spill and spending time with others. Lovely finds. With the military button, the silver ring, and the good luck token I think you both came out even. 😉

[@BenHArt475]

And again a nice day together, with old film stars!!!😁😆😅🤣👍👌✌

[@brettellis1837]

Brilliant.

[@tonydean1262]

Great to see you back at dhb and Adele where you been girl ?? Great finds guy's

[@DiggingBuddy]

Awesome bunch! Glad you got to post this Merrill!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@toddfroelich1190]

I think if Adele was 30 years younger and the way you tease each other, you might have been a couple😂😂😂 good mudlarking video and the best of luck in jolly old England

[@gjyoung67]

They argue like one for sure!

[@kimduffy366]

@20:39. The Metal square thing. I’m almost positive that is an old post office tag. Love from Canada

[@robertharden4092]

Adel is something else dang.

[@michaelstein4295]

What you said "Look at this old lock" it looked similar to (not 100% sure) a clamp for the rear leaf springs of my old '76 Camaro.

[@ohiofredl]

Thanks for hunt.

[@savagesquirrel9828]

You guys are the treasure.❤👏👏👏😆🥂

[@Kybo-Cali]

Great videos and awesome finds. Really enjoy the commentary while hunting. 😎👍🏼

[@firstgerm]

Loved this video. Love you Adele 🕳️👨‍🦯. Honeybee.🕳️👨‍🦯

[@jodeys.568]

Adele!!! So good to see her❤

[@garymartin6066]

Nice finds. Lots of toasted coins; they’ve been in the water forever. Still great hunt. Looks like Adele loves competition . Lol. Ok we’ll give it to Adele

[@dominickdifabio7326]

HI Merrill. Thanks for all the great videos and information. I want to go and mudlark on Deadhorse Bay, but I have seen reports about it being closed because of radioactive contamination. What is the actual situation since I see many videos like yours of people searching and collecting there. It's a long trip for me and I would like some feedback.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

New York has unofficially closed it. They are no longer maintaining the paths to DHB. My friend brought a Geiger counter and observed nothing out of the ordinary. The city sent teams over last summer that have been removing the hazardous objects. Right now there is no path to get there except under the Gil Hodges bridge.

[@benllonga]

Hi from Ibiza(Spain).that pendant has institute for the crippled and disabled on it,but bet you figured that one out fast enough,cool find.Like your videos,here in Ibiza we can only detect beaches or private land and keep nothing older than 200 years old due to spanish laws.All the best and good luck allways.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you so much!

[@gregoryclayton8287]

Hey Merrill, Adele and every one of you Metal Detectorist, glad to see those all too familiar and friendly faces one again! Yes, I love the coinage, but in or near the water the coins tend to take a bit of a beating, but there's nothing like the hunt, to the hunt!!! Okay gang, where are the marbles! Congrats on the finds today, you guys killed it! I love the friendly competition between Merrill and Adele, kind of like the NY Jets and the New England Patriots or may-be the NY Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. Well, anyway, I had so much fun just watching you guys, I felt like I was with you all! Mud larking is the best! I can't wait for the London mud-larking trip. Hey everyone, join this FUN CLUB channel, you'll be glad you did!!! KUDOS to Metal Detecting NYC... Greg the Egg.

[@digginggopher]

I have a gillet razer from the 60s, called a "slim adjustable" its great, love it

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow!

[@DaveLowa]

Merrill, Thanks for all the great videos. I really enjoy them. I would like to suggest something that would be very helpful to those of us nerds who are interested in the guts of these detectors. It's almost impossible to understand the potential one machine has over another without knowing which parts are inside these things and comparing the quality of the parts themselves from one detector to another. For instance: I would almost bet that the circuit boards inside one model over another in the Minelab line have been used over and over. If the unit functions better than another in the field, what electronically makes them function better. Surely there must be someone with the required skills to do the evaluations needed to bring that kind of clarification to your channel. Talk about content. Dave Lowa

[@petesuntrup2095]

Adele is quite the entertainer, a national treasure (hunter) ! 1904 worlds fair nice find!

[@barbarahinge7098]

Hahaha love Adele, and now even more seeing what she has on the back window of her truck lol Nice one Adele. Oh I reckon she won for sure hahaha

[@momtrips6783]

I think Adele's spoon is from the St. Louis World's Fair.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Wow!

[@jameswarner6899]

I thought about you today I saw a pulltab that had the word hello on it

[@momtrips6783]

I'm running late for work, and what comes up on youtube but Merrill & Adele on DHB raking in the goodies left and right! I'm SALIVATING! Will have to watch this one after work, and the anticipation will get me through the work day quicker.

[@MrWorkinguy]

At the 29:11 minute mark is that a ring? The trowel side of your digger is pointing right at it.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

No too big. Im sure I have missed before though.

[@stevebonds4698]

25:13 I think says Institute of the Crippled and Disabled.

[@sherryfranke6442]

I was wondering if it would be worth my while to travel 5 1/2 hours to go mud Larkin on this beach since I am obsessed with the mud Larkin videos from Scotland and such places. I would love to come and mud Lark there but if there's already so many people mud Larkin and not much to find what would be the point

[@brooklyntreasurehunter]

It was such a fun day. You found some great finds.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Good Times Anthony!!!!!

[@redwood1957]

Would love to see a show of your definitions or gold silver and others. As well as your electrolysis process. Did anyone swing a coil this day Thanks I enjoyed. One man's trash is another's treasure. I love the comrades Only ny/nj personal can love this.Thank you

[@DaveLowa]

Hey Merrill ... Love your vids and your interactions with your mad dogs. They need a good talking to so that they have a mind change in the new year. It'll be OK if they change their minds again, say about April Fools Day. I'm writing to ask that you do a comparison between the absolute bottom of the line, early purchase, single frequency detector in your stable, with what you would consider the current top of the line machine you own. That test garden on your property would be OK with me. I want to put to bed for the last time the concern that the light duty early detector that you own is really inferior to the multifrequency, high tech models of today. Something like the Bounty Hunter Quick Silver against the best in the high tech field of today. I have to see with my own eyes that there is a big difference and what those differences are between these technological poles before I finally lay my hard earned $1000 on the counter for my next circle on a stick. Thanks, Dave Lowa Winston-Salem, NC

[@safarikitty9632]

23:34 The chain looks like it has a partial tag attached. It could be a Bottle Tag that identified a specific Liquor ("Scotch" or "Whiskey" You get the idea.)

[@IndianaTones]

Cool coins Adele

[@marinoceccotti9155]

8:48 - *SILVER BRITISH PALESTINE ISRAEL 50 MILS OLIVE BRANCH COIN (1927-1942 )...* Veeeery good find, which explains a little the situation in Palestine nowadays. 25:00 - Medal "Good Luck From Our Disabled, Institute for the Crippled and Disabled" 29:44 - Piper-Heidsieck is a French champagne brand.

At the 27:56 minute mark you’re looking at what you thought was gold. Did you not see what looks like a gold ring in the background ? Half in the ground !

Hi, Merrill ! We're waiting for Nexus test...😢

I NEED to go there with you!! You find more silver mud-larking there in one day than I find detecting in a month... or two!! Great going Merrill... the Queen still knows how to wind you up!! Hahaha... even if you find half the contents of Fort Knox The Queen will still win... you know that!!😂😂

Yeah she got you with that spoon lol

I think the old lady won and she didn't even put a full day in. I think next year I'll go to this spot as it seem interesting.

You can use toilet bowl cleaner to get rid of the material on the metal things you find and it doesn't harm the image Kathy from Michigan.

[@MendocinoButterfly]

My husband says that the next time Adele claims that something is 1902 (or whatever) and pushes it like she did with that spoon, be sure to ask her if that’s her birthday. 😉 By the way, we each watch you and ‘like’ on our separate channels and are, of course, subscribed 🥳

Merrill have to share I was detecting an old park with my legend and got this very interesting low tone and big I was thinking it was a large piece of foil but as I started to dig it up I saw the gold rim, now I am having a heart attack because what I dug up was a large cigarette lighter that was 999.9 gold, would like to share a picture but don't have a link to do so.😁

[@jaimechapa7828]

Sir Merrell interesting video to say the least!, great finds even if they are corrade, diffently a place where you can have a great day if you look hard enough!, well on A del finds I liked the cross she found but that's about it!,carry on Sir Merrell and continue to show us all your videos.

Erosion - what a lovely name for a child! 😁 Not the sort of friend that you'd like to spend too much time with at school, but I guess if you started life with a good family and solid foundations, they couldn't undermine you or wear you down.
