I live down the road from Terry Shannon, he is a legend here in Melbourne beach and the treasure coast, he hunts hard and smart, his books are the best , Fireman Jim
Please let Mr Shannon know how valuable and appreciated that quick tutorial was to everyone who saw it ❤. I'm gonna try transferring the knowledge to my river banks and creekside detecting here in North Eastern Georgia, just east of metro Atlanta. Many thanks Mr Shannon 👍
One of the Greats! Thanks for posting. There are things you will learn in school that you'll never learn in the field and there are things you will learn in the field that you'll never learn in school.
When Terry speaks...I am listening 😂! I have learned so much from his videos and the book I brought that he wrote! Not only is Terry the king of Treasure Coast detecting, but he is a super nice guy! I emailed him about an item I found detecting the Treasure Coast, not expecting a reply. He responded and was super friendly and helpful! He is top notch in every way. For an insightful read, buy one of his books and refer to it often. Thanks, Merrill
Great job in difficult conditions Merrill you can tell there was a lot going on at the silver and relic hunt, but you got er done. Not only is Terry an excellent Beach Hunter and treasure finder, but he's also quite generous with his time and information often so that others may enjoy the hobby as much as he has. Maybe next time you can get him to tell a few of his stories, he can mesmerize you for a while with just one recovery tale. Terry truly one of a kind. Thanks for coming to our hunt and sharing this.
Great work on interviewing the Legendary Terry Shannon. Merrill, your info. in your past and present videos has taught me a lot, an I can see why. Keep up the great videos. Happy Digz. _/ 👍🏻
Awesome beginner detector. I had one and enjoyed using it for beach hunting. I would recommend saving a little more money and get the equinox 600 if you intend on detecting at homesite with lots of trash. Just my 2 cents.
I've met Terry a few times out detecting and at lectures... He's a real prince of a man and will always take a few minutes to stop and talk with you...On one occasion back in March/ April of 2022, I remember him checking out my brand new Deus 2 and he was remaking about it's weight, or lack there of....Happy hunting!
Terry's awesome! We went down to treasure coast this winter to visit some fam, and my cuz found a 1700's fishing plummet. The treasure museums are great places to past the time. Always nice to meet a mentor!
Nice video, Merrill. I adore Terry and it makes my day to run into him on the beach. You can identify his swing from a mile away. And I also met your friend, Mr. Gold, when I was detecting on the Space Coast one day. He's a great guy and he was so sweet to spend some time talking. What you said about meeting your icons will explain me falling all over my words if I ever run into you! Thanks again for all you do.
Terry is the best... a genuinely wonderful and kind person - so willing to share. I am blessed enough to have Terry (and Fred) and the others at the Treasure Coast as mentors. I really wanted to go to the hunt past weekend, but it just didn't work with my schedule. Now, I'm sorry that I didn't push harder. I would have loved to meet you as well. As Terry is one of your idols, you are one of mine. Anyway, thanks for the video (and the master class) and keep them coming. Terry's latest book is in full color and is definitely worth it. Check it out! Thanks again.
Thanks Merrill, I'll be going to the beach hopefully this Saturday with the Equinox 900. I've mastered park metal detecting but not so much on the beach. Always appreciate your videos! Ken
Hi Merrill! Great interview and thanks for providing info. on Mr. Shannon's books. I still love seeing you and Adele sparring and hunting at Dead Horse Bay once in awhile, so hope some of that will be coming up in the next couple of months.
Great video, I just ordered Terry’s book. Being a newbie, the information you share has been a great help on the beach this spring I pulled my first 14k pendant last week on the south shore, now I’m hooked. Looking forward to the summer and hopefully running into you on the beach.
Look for old jetty posts bits of large wood stick out of the sand mud all the time I have dug as deep as possible and always find coins mental they act like rifles on the beach and if there in a low spot it’s Jackpot 🎉🎉🎉
Great video, you are a lucky man to get to talk with him. I use his beach tips every year. I am glad to hear he is using the XP Deus 2, Did he tell you if he uses pitch tone to hear the targets? Thanks for sharing.
I need to get his book/books. I’ve been detecting on and off all my life and never have been able figure out the beaches. I only get to go beach hunting one or two times a year, so hard to master anything. I hope to go soon, better start reading, lol
His book is an excellent read. He writes just as though he’s talking with you and is very easy to understand. His stories from his time as a Sheriff in Minnisota are are also entertaining. Great interview with the Legend Merrill.
Hello! What a great Interview you made there!! grats for having the chance to meet him in person! I cant find the link of the book your talking about in your video??? I would realy want to read it and buy it! Would you mind to post it when you respond to this message please! Realy appreciate your work and i like your videos! Sadly i am from the deep North of Canada in the Québec Province! So there so ocean here but there thousands of lakes and beaches with with histories dating thousands of years with Indians and up to 1550 where fur exchange and Mining started so! But i hope 1 day i wil be able to pay me a trip to USA for a week or more to try to find the right beaches to go! Finaly i have the Vanquish 540 Pro and well equiped to prospecting also and detecting at same time! Thanks again and keep up your good work! Frank from the Deep North
Very good video I met the Bronx bomber last year at Cocoa Beach Terrie several times over the years. I think the true secret of beach metal detecting is getting on the beach every day. The closer you live to the beach the better. Location, location, location.😅
It doesn't hurt! The more familiar you are with the day to day changes the easier it is to take advantage of the good conditions then they come. They may not last long.
Great video Merrill, is it possible to find the gold up in the grass areas of the beaches? I'm not in Florida, but we have just as much of the old ships where I am.
@@MetalDetectingNYC 100% his channel is growing by the day, I enjoyed your segment in his latest video I had to swing by and subscribe 🤙🏼. I’m looking forward to enjoy your content, Thank you Terry.
Try magnetic ACCEPT. You can also ground grab on the beach. I know that sounds counterintuitive to what you learned with other detectors. Do a ground grab and in black sand, use magnetic ACCEPT.
I’m glad Terry said “it’s a lot of luck”. Once you learn how to use a detector, it’s 99% luck. I’ve seen brand new detectorists, score a ring of a lifetime with zero experience, first time out or within a week of starting the hobby. That can’t be skill, lol
I have spent the last 7 years hitting these Treasure Coast beaches, often walking miles without one single target.. not even a piece of trash. Not saying I haven’t found some interesting things but the truth is, there’s not much, if any, Spanish treasure on the beach. I use good detectors, Sea Hunter and the CTX 3030. It’s still a fun hobby but don’t expect to come here and find something.
Got to the beach at 3:40 this morning and hunted 2 1/2 hours and foud one quarter and a penny 😢🤦🏿♂️ I busted out my fishing poles and caught breakfast 🤷🏿♂️
People die in rip tides because they try and swim against it and get exhausted. If your caught in a rip swim with the tide (off shore) until the rips not as strong.

This was a very enjoyable read. The“Jean Diamond” ring that Terry found is simply amazing.
Terry, I got your book today ... I am so excited ✌👵
Thanks Merrill for giving us the opportunity to learn from two legendary detectorist..

I hunted Turtle Trail and it was amazing to walk in the footsteps of Terry. Absolute legend. Thanks for the coverage Merrill. You Rock!
Terry is legend, what a great meet up. Although I am miles from any beaches, always love watching your hunting. Cheers.
Always interesting to hear Terry Shannon! Glad you got to meet him!
Please let Mr Shannon know how valuable and appreciated that quick tutorial was to everyone who saw it ❤. I'm gonna try transferring the knowledge to my river banks and creekside detecting here in North Eastern Georgia, just east of metro Atlanta. Many thanks Mr Shannon 👍

It was YOU that made this happen Gary!!! Thank you!!!
@@MetalDetectingNYC You’re too kind. It was YOU Merrill!
I saw Terry down on my beach with an fpv drone! He does some hardcore due diligence!
Great work on interviewing the Legendary Terry Shannon. Merrill, your info. in your past and present videos has taught me a lot, an I can see why. Keep up the great videos. Happy Digz. _/ 👍🏻
Wow...Thats Awesome🎉 thanks so much 😊
About to buy my first detector. Probably going to start with the Vanquish 440 for monetary reasons. Excited to learn this new hobby.
It`s a nice, very capable detector. I have the 340.
Gday mate , hope you are having a extra awesome day 😄
Awesome beginner detector. I had one and enjoyed using it for beach hunting. I would recommend saving a little more money and get the equinox 600 if you intend on detecting at homesite with lots of trash. Just my 2 cents.
Are you happy with your purchase? I'm about to buy my first
Just started hunting!! Love your channel and thanks for the info sir!!!!! Appreciate ya from Texas!!!!!!
Thank you!
Great interview with a true living legend!! Terry is the real deal of beach metal detecting.
Awesome we just talked about him at the Staten Island history hunters meeting
It's always exciting to meet your hero, I think your videos are awsome Merrill.
I think I would be star struck myself if I ever got to meet ya.
I love both of you
I have all of Terry's books. Also watch all your videos. At first it was your humor but the education kept me watching
Thank you
A true legend in the metal detecting community, Gotta Love It!

Thank you for this video. I've been binging your videos. I recently ordered a Minelab X-Terra Pro and can't wait to get started.

Terry Shannon ..a True Legend!🏴☠️
Great books from a truly nice guy .Met Terry a couple times in Florida.
This man inspired me a lot....now I have 590 rings..respect to Terry....from a beach hunter..Mediterranean side
I love listening to Terry talk and was great seeing Robert Crespo
Thanks Merrill

Great video! Terry is the best. He's so good cause he has a heart of gold!!!
He's the GOAT....I learned everything from him!
Terry is a badass detectorist. I have all his books that he autographed for me.

Good interview Merrill
Wow,!another great video,thank you sir
So many of the ledgends of detecting are gone now , thankyou great interview 😊
I met Terry at FL Hunt 8, what a great guy. Also met KG and Ringy so fun 🏋🏻♂️

Great video Merrill. I just put two of Terry's books in the cart.
I always wanted to try Metal detecting and try my local park after a holiday weekend to see what the drink people drop.
I need to get his book/books. I’ve been detecting on and off all my life and never have been able figure out the beaches. I only get to go beach hunting one or two times a year, so hard to master anything. I hope to go soon, better start reading, lol

Stunning information
A terrific interview, Merrill!❤
Thanks for the information. That's pretty neat. Hope.
Great interview!!!
Terry Shannon is from my home area in West Central Minnesota. He's the reason why there's little to no silver in our public areas.
Thanks Ambsitor great vid nice tips and Thanks for one on magnetic ground.

Incredible information and video well done sir's
Once again very interesting information
Awesome Times Friend, We and I speak out of place maybe but I doubt it Learn a lot from you what you have learned from others.. Peace

Another awesome video Merrill thank you 💍🙏
Very enjoyable interview 👍
Love the videos.
Thanks!!!!!
Any reviews on the new Nokta planed?
why do you prefer Deus II to manticore? I bought Shannon's book because you recommended it in another video. Greetings from Italy
Adventure archaeology sent me 🙌
I learned something this weekend. Brandon is brilliant! Thank you for visiting and thanks to Adventure Archaeology for sending viewers this way!

Thanks merril, Ive tried magnetic Reject on my preffered beach unfortunately the machine goes crazy like emi interference
Try magnetic ACCEPT. You can also ground grab on the beach. I know that sounds counterintuitive to what you learned with other detectors. Do a ground grab and in black sand, use magnetic ACCEPT.
I SEE YOU! Your sitting in your car!
I like it, I like it a lot.
Where should I buy the WS6 with the waterproof setup? Thanks.
Merrill, if you accept black sand, doesn’t it sound off on it? Trying to figure out the Deus 2 for beaches
His book makes me want to move to the treasure coast.
I’m glad Terry said “it’s a lot of luck”. Once you learn how to use a detector, it’s 99% luck. I’ve seen brand new detectorists, score a ring of a lifetime with zero experience, first time out or within a week of starting the hobby. That can’t be skill, lol
Does Terry have any days where he holds like seminars or is there any way to meet him? I can email address?
Woot!
I tried finding your friend Mr. Gold Robert Cresp and came up with nothing. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong. Thankyou!
Yes, sorry about that. Here you go: youtube.com/@bronxbombermetaldetectingd4242?si=Uj-ohemGfbimeEVg
The top hunters are the ones that live by the beach. If you're there everyday or just about everyday. You'll also be on the top tier of hunters.
Merrill I would Like you to know that I get my Swing from you and its something that I am working very hard to perfect.
I wonder how many years ago he found so many spanish treasure coins. I don't think many are found any more (on the beach).
I subscribed 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I have spent the last 7 years hitting these Treasure Coast beaches, often walking miles without one single target.. not even a piece of trash.

Hello bro, you channel good👍🔥
Hello sir is dues2 or manticore good??
@user-hl6us8ov6g yes
Purchased Terry’s book today….I need any suggestions from a true ‘professional’!
How do you know a ring is from 1500's?
It will be stamped with a maker's mark.
Got to the beach at 3:40 this morning and hunted 2 1/2 hours and foud one quarter and a penny 😢🤦🏿♂️
I busted out my fishing poles and caught breakfast 🤷🏿♂️
People die in rip tides because they try and swim against it and get exhausted. If your caught in a rip swim with the tide (off shore) until the rips not as strong.
@user-hl6us8ov6g I’ve had a metal detector for over 45 years….i think I’m qualified enough. Lol
loved seeing Terry
Thank you for sharing this with us
Alot of it is hit n miss..and some good Luck😂😂😂
Get him down to dhb..he will own adele!
Did Indiana tones give up?
If you come down anywhere close to Texas anytime be sure to let me know ok ok
You guys should check out the treasure dog of maine. He gets some insane stuff off colonial beaches with the minelab equinox series
I found it 300 yard down the beach...
This is the momen i called b.s. and moved on.
There's NO thousand rings.
Too right. Lots of rubbish.
I always find shells in black sand ‼️‼️‼️
