Excellent. I like it when people talk normal. Good teaching video. Thank you

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Thank you!

[@Tiimeh]

Your not taking a stab at clegg are you 😂

[@paulsavarese567]

Merill - you're the real treasure of metal detecting.

[@brianwolf9647]

I do have some success with sod, for a few reasons. I’m renting on a site that has sod placed in 2015 and it’s manicured with every chemical plus irrigation. The dirt was certainly mixed around. I found a 10 year old can 1 ft down, but I find shotgun shells from more than 60 years ago near the surface. 4” down I found a brass black powder flask from before 1870. The sod comes up in a solid piece allowing me to place the plug back very neatly. Most of the time. 2 coins on the whole site, but lots of old hinges etc.

[@thorny3218]

By word of mouth I heard from an old timer that there used to be an old dumping ground for the town I live in. So far we’ve found some old glass bottles. I just got a metal detector yesterday and I’m excited to go out and explore it. So far in an hour my daughter and I have dug up half the backyard🤣🤭 we found part of an old sink and some cans and a piece of metal pipe. So much fun. Thank you for the website tip.

[@StevieKoolRoots]

[• Good day… You gave me a great idea… To search on the old railway beds/trails in Newfoundland! Haven’t got my first detector yet,… Still shopping. I’m so excited to start !!•]

[@StevieKoolRoots]

[• Learning so much from you, thank you!•]

[@kennyreck]

*Thank you so much this is the best metal detecting advice I've ever got I'm glad you live in the same area as me makes things so much more informative GO GO GOOOO LOL*

[@Shred9]

I just got into metal detecting recently. Before I watched your video I dug up mostly trash. After applying what you said, I’ve pulled up tons of coins. No silver yet, but it’s a matter of time. Thank you!

[@kameandouglas536]

I am from Jamaica living in Cayman Islands and I'm watching you you're very powerful I respect your style I need a humorous Morales Plus sense of humor big up

[@jameskearns8706]

Hugely valuable material in this video, ty very much!!!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Very welcome!

[@bluegrassdirtfishin5835]

Bro when I go out hunting and I find a quater, I can't help but to say "it's a quarta" everytime. Damn you Merrell! Meh! Keep up the good videos and keep unlocking Häagen-Dazs.

[@brianwolf9647]

Yes, I second, third, and fourth that. I do the same with “dimees” now. I often say, verbatim, “something has been unlacked”

[@gaiterbugg]

Thanks, Merrill, for sharing your experience and knowledge, and that aerial website. This was very helpful. Good hunt. Cool buttons and bullets. Stay safe and keep digging.

[@petemartus8876]

Yes thank you.its the first time anybody took time to teach.. and I really learned alot!

[@caravandanadventures]

Merrill, learning a lot of useful info from watching your videos. New subscriber, Thomasville Georgia. Just bought a Garrett AT Pro. I'm a beginner. 68 years old.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Nice! Welcome to the hobby! Thank you for the support!

[@mikeholmes4361]

Thank you Merrill for the Historic Aerials website. Love it!

[@hillbillybackwoods]

In my local park, I only work the tot lots. kick the pea gravel and pick up a coin. I put my DD coil on and dug in the grass...I got a Indian head penny. I will dig more.

[@jeeperscreepers251]

Holy crap!!! I'm loving this site. My aerial in my area goes back to 1951 before they flooded the town here to make a lake. I can see the old houses and roads. Man this is awesome sauce!!! 😃

[@johangervais1288]

Are you in Canyon Lake, TX?

[@jeeperscreepers251]

@@johangervais1288 no

[@donnadow436]

I’m glad I found your videos! I’ve been watching magnet fishing vids but can’t physically do that, and they were also metal detecting. I decided I would research and found you! I’m now armed with great information. Thank you. Also love your sense of humor- excellent for a dreary morning! I’ve subscribed and will keep watching. Thanks! 🎉. I live in an area that used to be a farm about 50 years ago and the rains bring more dirt into my yard…I’ll be searching the neighbors’ yards once I get my gear! Can’t wait ❤

[@jimzgrlify]

Great finds! I think the weird tip on the second bullet you pulled is called sprue. I think it is from the mold so that bullet was dropped and not fired. Very old one though! Definitely a halter clip for what you posited was horse tack. great, informative video.

[@rickkeifer5928]

Good info. Merrill thanks.

[@traceveillon9117]

Outstanding information!! Thank you! I've been using the historic aerials site some but hadn't really figured it all out. You just learned me some stuff! (said in my best south Louisiana accent) So glad I found your channel tonight, I gave you a subscribe!

[@joefranco2461]

A friend here just hit a Spanish coin from 1741 in a tide pool . I'm on the hunt !

[@Tiger-21.]

Great video, so many others fail to mention these important tips. Thanks for putting it together.

[@edisiusmurmur325]

though I had some problem with sea water It also kzbin.infoUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn

[@RichDavey]

Loving your videos man Metal detecting and humour What is there not to like Fantastic 👍😊

[@hitman4u222]

Thank you for the teaching. Appreciate what your doing

[@leokoerzen6877]

very unusual presentations but quite informative. keep up the good work.

[@Erock9201]

Thank so very Much I'm going to be breaking in my new Detector this week end I'll defiantly going to use what you taught me ! Thank you so very much!

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Your welcome Erik! Good luck!

[@oneagentfrog]

We live no where near a place to use that handy dandy app. We use one called "Topo Pro" it has overlay editing, trail mapping, historical markers, & personal markers. You can turn on trail creation start walking and it will map where you go. Living in the mountains surround by mountains and homesteads we use it every where we go we have found really great stuff! I love my "noxi 800"

[@timelordmagnums357]

Hey Merrill we've modified what you say here in North Cackolacki. Instead of saying "haagen dazs has been unlocked" we are now saying "Hoggin Jaws has been unlocked". Basically unlocking pork rinds :). Cackolacki FTW

[@njunderground82]

My big problem here in NJ, especially northern NJ, is that EVERYTHING is private property.

[@jimbop101]

That item you dug at -7.45ish, when discussing patina, looks very much like an ejector from a lever action rifle. Maybe an early 30-30. KEWEL find !

[@L1nus16]

The website was great advice. My area goes back to 1952 and I found an old house from the 1890s that they are most likely tearing down soon like the others that used to be near it. If I can figure out who owns the property and contact them I might be able to hit it up!

[@DIG_5050]

Great info, Merrill. Thanks, man. Keep Digging!

[@Waltorian]

Wow! That aerial website is fantastic!!!! Thank you

[@paullamhut4488]

Very nice! This is the best dissertation on he where to go i have seen. Im mostly central jersey cost and have not braved the earth dig. Beach sand is easy. think I'm going to brave finding some turf to dig. Way too many "do not dig" parks in my area!

[@garyphillips6528]

Thank you, you taught me quite a bit in this video.

[@SEAWORM]

very helpful information Merrill. Thanks man!

[@laurenoreilly4140]

Thanks for this video. I just started detecting last year and this was very helpful! I loved the metal piece that had “Taylor” on it, as that is my daughter’s name.

[@pedrogonzalez-bm1zm]

Awesome help thanks man

[@mikes1798]

Thanks for the share. That aerial website can also help when buying a house. For example, is there anything in the ground that you might not want like a filled in pool which would hinder the installation of a new one.

[@laurenoreilly4140]

I bought the shirt Saturday evening after watching this video and received it today! I absolutely love the shirt!

[@stargazer279]

Greetings, your video really helped me to understand how to go about it up here in Montreal Canada. Unfortunately i did not find a Canadian website to compare years of land. But i must say your tips will help me greatly. Thanks, Cheers!

[@aljosapremelc5856]

Good job on skilva Merrill 🥇 Yesterday I found my first Celtic skilva coin 2100 y old approximately 🥇

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

OMG!!!!!! 2100 years old!!!!!!!

[@aljosapremelc5856]

It is soooooo tiny only 6x7 millimetres wide it's awsome

[@noahway13]

Funny, a building can be RAISED and a building can be RAZED. And it means the totally opposite . Anyway... I'm from the South, but Merrill is my fav MD dude. He is very personable and helpful.

[@rocketsroc]

Good stuff, thanks!

[@stagemgr99]

Enjoy your videos, Out here in California we are still in a drought and the trend is artificial Turf everywhere. Good for surface finds but not for digging. Nobody addresses this . Schools , Parks all converting .

[@kwaichang368]

Good info, the bullet with the tail looks like a williams cleaner, fun times. Thanks, Clinton

[@MidwestPicker]

very helpful, thank you

[@thomasalison6188]

Really great information! Thanks Merrill!!

[@gypsonny2]

Thats a wild bullet! I would guess anywhere from 1895-1918, a large caliber rifle obviously. Look up 8x50r mannlicher, it wont be that but similar style

[@jessiepayne737]

Great dig, that next to last bullet with the tip on the bottom may be civil war era, Williams Cleaner.

[@ericsmathe]

Have you been up around Kingston to detect? There's some rich history up this way. Thank you for all the info you provide, sir.

[@MetalDetectingNYC]

Kingston was New York’s first capital. I have never detected there but yes the whole Hudson valley is full of history and treasure !

[@ericsmathe]

@@MetalDetectingNYC I just got an Equinox 600 and am hoping to find some treasures. I'm still trying to figure out where I can detect. Kingston's Senate house is the oldest public building in the country. Take care, and I'll let you know how it goes!

The grass around a bar's parking lot. You're welcome folks

[@ourfamilyoutdoors7331]

When I was a kid I learned to look in grassy areas like parks and lawns near bars on Saturday and Sunday mornings. I didn’t even have a metal detector, didn’t need it.

[@Llew70]

If you find "camp lead", could be a central fire for a small group, or one of many spread around a much larger area. Flag the find (bundles of flagging material are fairly cheap by the hundred) and use a spiral pattern outwards... if you find another camp lead spot and mark it also. Now you just might be in a hot spot, especially if you are in civil war territory. Not too many modern examples of camp lead unless you are in a location that regularly hosts reenactments that really stay true to making your own 50cal bullets.

[@sunrunneroldbottels223]

there are 1,700 parks and play grounds in the n y . city .( FIVE BOROUGHS).

[@bonniegiebfried278]

Awesome video. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your knowledge

[@baystateplugflipper7061]

Great video Merrill, the bullet looks like a 6.5mm carcano italian infantry rifle, WWI or WWII, same gun that killed JFK

[@detectormafia-bm6jx]

Anything for Australia ? Aerial view would be handy tool for us too !

[@honeyholehunting2032]

Interestingly enough my two best finds have been from filler dirt.

[@dannybell926]

Heck yeah man... Who's to say that the fill dirt isn't as good or better than the other dirt at a site, right? It's all gotta come from somewhere

[@noahway13]

I kept reading it as, ...My two best friends have been from filler dirt.... WTF?

[@DieselDoktor]

@@noahway13 same here lol I was like “did his friends meet while checking filler dirt?”

I like your videos, what is a good detecting forum?

[@jgychevy305]

the bullet with the top on it is a cleaner round ive found a bunch at the old civil war camp site I also wasnt sure but my followers on tik tok told me what it was lol

How where they able to make topo's, in the western states, way back in the 1800's?
