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.

Hello Mr. Merrill I am looking for your diggers. About two years ago on Instagram I showed you my findings that there was an ancient mirror and different dishes I have a question from you gold made by man in your country is related to how many years ago? 🤔 And that the Indians have been thanking you for your support of Iran industry before the arrival of Europeans؟ 🤔 ❤️

[@mgem404]

Thank you، your fan from iran❤️

[@brettellis1837]

Hey mate. WIZARD HERE GET READ TO GO WET AND WILD LOL. 24TH JUNE . X--FACTOR MINELAB TEASER SHORT.😂 I WONDER IF IT COMES WITH A M9 COIL LOL . ENJOY. I NEARLY PASSED OUT 3 HRS AGO. PARADISE WILL BE HERE ON THE 24TH.

[@vegasdetecting9472]

Jealous you got to meet Brandon! He seems like a great guy from all of his videos and a wealth of knowledge on bottles!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Fun times! Enjoyed hanging out with you and I look forward to our future adventures!

[@smichalpi]

I like this guy Brandon and his accent

[@jimcollins9999]

Go Brandon. Bottle digging is rough. Thanks Merrill 👍

[@treasurearth]

Now that looks fun !! Love those days to chat with other hunters, and find some cool targets. And of course, history lessons are always welcome.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

The best part of detecting is the awesome people we meet! And what we can learn from each other!❤

[@RussTNails-fw9ds]

Most bottle sites contain LOTS of decomposing iron and the metal detector is virtually useless to see through it .😮 I use a large cleanable fishing magnet to remove the iron,then the goodies shine,as well as the bottles 😮😊😊😊, another great show,thanks.😊

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

The food and metal detecting association is what got me to sub to you in the first place.

[@sourcreamking]

There is an old saying here in Norway about garbage in the old days... "If it doesn't burn, it sinks" (I live by the coast) so most of the stuff we find was lost, not buried.

[@alanwilliams2452]

That's true on the reservation a housing project was built on top of a old dump site from 1950-1970 closed down the homes we're built in 1985

[@TeamLynchBMD]

Wow lot of people at the hunt. Great fun as always Merrill. Great tips on finding bottle dumps. I am lucky we have a old bottle dump going back to the late 1800’s at my work site👋

[@jeffballard7631]

Funny and educational. Love the content! Was going to take my xterra pro out for its maiden voyage this morning, but woke up to a Montana snow storm.

[@bendjohans3863]

yay it was time to see a new vid by you i missed them, not sure if youtube screwed me again by not showing your new vids or if youve been lazy ,, chuckles im a bit stressed myself with a new place and mooving so i have a deeper check if i missed any video greetings from bavaria

[@davidfrazier1186]

Looking forward to you using the Extreme hunter.

[@cosanostra7112]

hello sir . after watching your vids today our simplex lite came . somewhere along the st lawrence river area where we live the war of 1812 was fought . there was a fortune in silver lost here during the war . hundreds of miles of old rock walls through the Adirondak park untouched now forest . thankyou

[@cj_m2477]

Very interesting video; I learned a lot. Thank you Merrill!

[@chasinglegends9413]

Great video it turned into somewhat of a history lesson but that's ok gotta learn how to find the dig sites thanks again Merrill..

[@user-wq1xu4dj7g]

Another great video,thank Merill.

[@jimmymalone3494]

I enjoyed your video' thank you for sharing.

[@budroberts7857]

I use to collect bottles when I was younger and one of my tips was old farmsteads and on the side of creek sides on that particular property 😮 .. Also inside or under them huge rock piles you find in fields or in the woods where fields use to extend to 😀

[@baneverything5580]

Metal probe rods can be helpful to locate buried bottles in some areas.

[@YT512llc]

How about a NYC meet-up for "all you can eat Sushi"?

[@BC-dig]

yep yep yep😊

[@treasuredog-ci9ir]

You guys should check out the treasure dog of maine. He gets some insane stuff off colonial beaches with the minelab equinox series

[@jasonyork4418]

I just subscribed to your channel. I have learned a lot from one of your videos. I was watching your video about Historical Ariel and that points in the rivers were ferry points for drop offs. I never knew that! Thanks for the tips. Still trying to learn that app and can't figure it out. Thanks so much for the information because I haven't found anything but nails😁

[@ThelifeandtimesofBarneyTaylor]

Knowing is half the battle GI Joe.👍

[@spacefury65]

Excellent informative educational video. Love watching your content. Just got a Minelab Safari for those areas not yielding much anymore. Any suggestions as to what settings to get the deepest targets?

[@chrisleigh777]

Hay Merril the holy grail of detectors is out there. The Aka Smart pulse check it out buddy I have one and it beats my manticor on depth with ease and discrimination on deep iron. It is also amazing 😊 finally a pulse that's deep and discriminates iron with ease !

[@cosanostra7112]

i recommend a weekend stay at aquasasne casino massena ny the food is good and nice rooms . form there you have access from ogdensburg to titus mtn all 1812 war area . hamlet after hamlet of 200 hundred year old farms stone walls and rivers . the st regis river grasse salmon raquette and more . you will find potsdam clarkston slu university areas farther south really old nice places to visit for a weekend . with thousands of acres of state land to look untouched you might like this trip a 6 hour drive to rt 37

Hi everyone, you really Americans live in the metal detector paradise because your search area is smooth and smooth, and with a car you can easily go but our region is very rugged and rocky and mountainous and we must go kilometers without a car to reach the search area😢

[@thedizz4u]

Do you only use the deus detector now? Will you still be doing reviews on other detectors? I have heard that you got rid of all of your metal detectors except for Deus

[@gregevans3785]

This site used to be great, Am I missing something, is there an XP site somewhere else?

[@angelamillard6418]

❤❤❤

Sushi

[@bendjohans3863]

fun thing is that bottlehunting isnt that popular here in germany right now i found a few by now in the woods while metall detecting

[@mgem404]

Is there a historical area to search in Germany? And how deep are the search areas in your country?

[@bendjohans3863]

well here you can find historical stuff up to 6500 years old sadly most of this stuff is already 2 meter deep but in woodland you can find even roman stuff in like 10 cm depth, you can say all of germany is a historical depending at what kind you are looking for

[@mgem404]

@@bendjohans3863 Oh، great، how interesting، just like we in Iran، some things are superficial، but some things are at the same depth، 2 to 3 meters deep. But in mountain area's digi ng is very hard

[@bendjohans3863]

@@mgem404 im not sure about iran as you got there partly desert regions i guess, normally the rule over here is that normal grassy regions without many trees where you have a lot of grass and plants the dead plants as the grow and die and get replaced by new plants makes the ground grow higher like 1 cm in 10 yearsmeans 10 cm in 100 years and a meter in a 1000 years, so real old stuff can be burried theoretically 6 meters in 6000 years

[@bendjohans3863]

but in the woods there is not much grow as the leaves and needels the trees loose the trees use up as fuel to grow as soom as its composted so you dont have much depth grow in the woods thats why you can find stuff from roman times about 2000 years ago when they tryed to conquer germania maybe 10 cm deep
