Nice 50 caliber bullet at 4:39. The Army Air Forces used to have target practice at things in the ocean. I found a similar 50 cal. and numerous shells at Cupsogue Beach in Westhampton after a major erosion event. No corrosion at all but the rifling was plain to see so I knew it was fired. Most of the shells were pretty corroded but some were good enough to preserve. There was an old wreck that was protruding out of the surf at that time. It had an iron smoke stack which resembled a German U-Boat conning tower. So it was the perfect practice target. 50 caliber shells literally covered the ocean beached for years after the war and many picked them up to sell as scrap. A few still show up. Steve LI
I know that the first sub is somewhere out on the east end of Long Island. Maybe you saw that? We were in Southhold eating at a restaurant and was talking to a gentleman who was telling us about it and that it was being restored. The Hatch is New Suffolk Historical Council.
You lucky lucky man. I know very little about you. Only started watching about 3 months ago. But from what I’ve seen, you deserve what is happening for you right now. You have given back to the detectorist community and try to help us noobs with very very resourceful info. Your content is great and your personality is just as great ! Congrats on your new found success and i wish you nothing but awesomeness in the new year.
Excellent instructional video Merrill. I'm convinced that XP have found a sound ambassador in you (btw peeps, I do not work XP machines), so no 'fan-boy' bias from me. You are simply a good man who has our hobby's best interests at heart. You are an intelligent rational thinker, not a 'yes man drone'. That, in itself, is essential. A company requires less representatives than can be counted on one hand , but they must be really experienced, top-quality ones. Silly hats and silly acronyms count for little more than a "Look at me" delusion, in my experience. The real testers work in-line with a company's engineers on a company pay-roll. Anyroadup, enough of me seeming like I'm blowing warm air up your arse Merrill: I'm not.. Keep your head "firmly planted on your neck" and. "Go ye ahead young man".
Sound ambassador for XP you have a laugh, he aint got a clue about any detector let alone a top machine like the Deus 2, Its all about free detectors and gear like many other so called experts, He has no idea how to set the machine up for the conditions, No experience = no idea...
I’m just catching up on videos bud. I’ve been going thru some rough times this past 4-5 months but I’m going to watch all your videos to put you back on top in my line up. I hope going to XP makes you all that much better then you already was! It’s going to be interesting!!! Thanks for all the great videos!!!
Not sure if anything was said but I like Calabash. When I first got in to XP detectors, we spoke a few times and he helped. I will always appreciate that.
I have had my Deus2 head unit chest mounted for the last year. Its so much more user friendly. Just a simple smart phone chest mount. You need to try it.
Metal detected last weekend at North Myrtle beach and it had been extremely windy leading up to it. We were finding green crusty quarters and dimes and orange nickels on the surface or just barely below. It was a wonderful day of detecting
Nice job as always, Merrill. I’ve not done much beach hunting, but I learned a lot from this video. I think you’ll love testing out the ORX. I’m a Deus II user these days, but I’ve found some pretty amazing historical relics with the ORX.
Remember this your teaching job is the most important and not taking any time away from from your lovely family been married for almost 40 years and raised 5 children and I have a very stable retirement already at 59 take care and good luck
Merril, that earring would pull someone’s ear lobe off, maybe it did, ugh!, lol Glad to see your channel grow. You got a sweet gig from XP, they couldn’t have picked a nicer guy.
just got interested in metal detecting and have found your channel to be the best i have found for information. due to multiple projects and things i bought a cheapo lolorance from amazon and it should be in today. excited to hit the beach this week and hope this cheap unit will actually work and it wasnt a complete waste of money.
Good stuff Merrill, I love to hunt on an eroded beach. Found a gold coin from the 1800s late last year in exactly the conditions you mentioned. (What no cool XP detector backpack or did I miss that unboxing? 😉)
No worries Merrill. Stay on your own schedule. Even though its just another day for you, you ve got a bunch on your plate. Job, family friends...Always enjoy your videos. Zeb from NH
Have you ever looked for /found old old valuable bottles ? Guy in a bar in SINY , told me they are in the eroded small beach edge cliffs that cave after storms. He was pretty adamant about it .😮
I love your art. The rapping is hilarious. Laughter is sacred. I love the unlocks. Of course you can update, but you got nuthin to apologize for. Have fun learning the new stuff. Happy New Year!
Quite the interesting collection of spent bullets, they look to be of a size often used by the military. If you look at the base/bottom of the big casings you should see some letters or possibly the name of the maker. You may also see two numbers, that is usually the date (year) of the manufacturer of the casing. With that info you can roughly guess when the casings and bullets entered the ocean. My best guess is they were fired as part of Naval or Coast Guard training.
@@MetalDetectingNYC It is always interesting to watch your videos as there is no telling what you will find. This one proves it. As soon as the ground thaws out here I plan to get back to digging my property. Fingers crossed for some good finds!
@@MetalDetectingNYC if you come out to the Sacramento area, I'm more than willing to bet that our local GPAA club would be more than willing to take you to one of the clubs private gold claims. And you will find gold
50 cal bullet...Inww2 they fire millions of rounds off the coast for training. Been finding shell casing when the refill the beach in Avalon. Teaching should be number 1 (after family) then medal detecting. Shaping the next gen is what hopefully will keep America great.
I’m working on a video right now for XP where I teach about the WS6 Master. That is a full Deus 2 at a 700 dollar price point. There is no XY screen and it is not waterproof. But the value is in the WS6
Slow and steady wins the race !. I second the ORX as a cool detector. Hope to see your new layout for the XP display room and your results with the Deus and Deus 2.
Good video Merrill. I'm looking forward to your videos with the ORX. That machine with a high-frequency coil should be a beast in a trash loaded park. I already have a D2 so I'm already thinking this would be nice complementary addition!
Hay, letten ya know i used your info on a beach hunt. New to beach hunting i found an old silver catholic saint pendant. Remembering your instructions I cercled the spot and found 3 silver dimes one being my first Barber. Thanks ...word
Im done rating detectors for now. My friend Indiana Tones (RUclips inherited my entire collection of detectors and pinpointers and will carry on that work.
@@MetalDetectingNYC I'm just getting into detecting and have enjoyed the information and knowledge that I've gained from watching your videos. Good luck on your next chapter with XP and thanks for all the videos that you've done!
I've used the orx for many years this is one true detector that will teach you to listen to the sound it is so dynamic in the sound description that it gives you know it doesn't have many adjustment options but it's just as powerful as the D1 goes just as deep separates almost as well but the sound description and it gives you is like none other it's the only detector and I'll say this again it is the only detector that I can hear the sound of aluminum versus another non-ferrous Target in the same tid. You can literally hear aluminum test it it sounds hollow
Congratulations Merrill, I am truly happy for you what an exciting challenge to reach out and go deeper pardon the pun there but to learn Advanced metal detecting and certainly we will benefit from your knowledge once again just like you said take it slow and learn it well😊
I have a Deus (not the II), Do the sounds and numbers compare between the two? I’m hoping to learn a lot from you😊. I also received a HF coil for Christmas and I’m very interested in learning how to best use it…when, where, settings etc. I enjoy your videos very much.
Thank you! Check out the comparison at the beginning of this video: ruclips.net/video/QvOa3KFserA/видео.htmlsi=WYaV-po27ZQ4qh__ In short the target ID and sounds are similar. The Deus 1 lives within the Deus 2 (with the exception of a high frequency coil).
Im the new guy. I will say that XP research and development was incredible to see. Great things are on the horizon. As for when any new product is released is not up to me.
Merril i am so excited because i am going out there today again and my dilemma was to either go back where i found that diamond ring or a new beach. Guess what i am back at the same beach see if there is some more treasure. I will let you know in 5 hrs ❤
And that’s what it should be about having fun! Man I scoured that beach allright unfortunately no gold today but i had so much fun 12km hike up and down. People are so curious what i find its fun to share and inspire them to go metal detecting. I did find a hand full of usablecoins and one silver earring with a stone. Its all worth it and the best thing about metal detecting is all my stress is gone!!! Cheers Merril!
Merrill. Now that you are running the XP 2 will the manticore be joining your collection of dust collectors ? I also was sad to see XP send you the nice gifts since that will make it impossible to be non biased in future reviews 😢
Yes, I am done reviewing detectors but I left you all in good hands. Indiana Tones (RUclips) has all of my non XP detectors and he will rewrite the ratings on iratemetaldetectors.com.
Hey man I was wondering if you have ever tried areas in the spring where people have been tobogganing during the winter snow? I would think that activity shake some things loose and be lost instantly when it hits the snow.
Awesome equipment that Deus sent you. I hope it doesn't change you from the person that we've come to love. Remember to dance with the one that brung you.
Does this mean you won’t cover any other metal detectors ? My reason for following you was because you showed and used every machine , and gave your advice and expertise. This looks like the end to an informative channel !!!!
Yep I’m done. Indiana tones (RUclips) has all of my old detectors and he will continue what I was doing. I have unlimited help from the founder to the engineers of XP to fully master their detectors (and help create new ones). Sick around if you wish or follow Indiana Tones.
My my Christmas came a little after for Merrill. Wind mic, oh many videos in the past watch Merrill get sand blasted at night and couldn't here anything. XP ? Is that the deep seaker?
I love doing that. The data shows it crashed my channel. Whenever I rapped there was huge audience drop off. RUclips stops pushing videos as soon as that happens. :(

@martinsmith2984 please refer to me as Mr. Ambassador or your highness....
You aint no ambassador for anything detecting related, just another greedy youtube celeb who thinks he knows it all, when really you know nothing..
Always enjoy your informative tips on detecting and your personality you bring to your channel. ❤
Perfect Merrill, "sometimes its junk and sometimes it's treasure"... Love the vid. Thanks.
Thank you!
Can't wait to see your growth throughout this journey Merrill!! GO GO GO :)
Thanks so much!!

Thank you! I appreciate that!
I was getting worried for a while was wondering why you weren't uploading videos im glad your back looking forward to seeing more finds ...
Yep, i'm just resetting myself for this new direction.
Calabash hasn't had a wink of sleep since you were made Ambassador , That's a fact ❤

Cool Picasso ring, Kathy got one in silver before Great instructional video Merrill 👋👍 Great unpacking
Thanks Team Lynch 👍
Very happy that my favorite metal detecting dude on RUclips now is a XP ambassador. This will help me mastering my DEUS II for sure.
Great to have you back! I’ve missed your expertise and humour.
Thank you kindly!
hi friend
Nice Merrill, happy new year to you and the family!

Awesome! Thank you!
Your first ring is Picasso-esque
Fabulous! 🙌🏼
D2 Laughs at Black Sand👍
YESSIR!!!!
You're going to have fun with the hf coils they are amazing even though they work on one frequency at a time 😮😮😮😊😊😊😊
Thanks Russ T! Can't wait!
i must say you are more of a teacher than a than a man looking for treasure
Have not watched in a while glad you finally got a good detector. 😮
The best! :)
Looking forward to your next chapter. Thank you for the knowledge Merrill...
Thank you!
Remember this your teaching job is the most important and not taking any time away from from your lovely family been married for almost 40 years and raised 5 children and I have a very stable retirement already at 59 take care and good luck
Sorry for the spelling at work boss is closed lol
Did not know about the black-sand ‘reject’ setting-will definitely try it out !…. Thanks Merrill !
You bet!
Merril, that earring would pull someone’s ear lobe off, maybe it did, ugh!, lol Glad to see your channel grow. You got a sweet gig from XP, they couldn’t have picked a nicer guy.
that is a 50 Calibre BMG bullet ! BMG = Browning Machine Gun
Wow! Thank you for the ID
just got interested in metal detecting and have found your channel to be the best i have found for information. due to multiple projects and things i bought a cheapo lolorance from amazon and it should be in today. excited to hit the beach this week and hope this cheap unit will actually work and it wasnt a complete waste of money.
Thank you for another great video if I was out there I'd have a gold pan pan in that black sand
Great to see you ! Best teacher!!!!!
Thank you!
Congratulations on your first gold of the year thanks for sharing!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Great video, Merrill. You cracked me up when talking about the expertly done videos already on the XP website. 😂 No pressure or anything!
OMG!!! They are like TV quality!!!! Its a good challenge for me right now!
Awesome video Merr, best luck for 2024
Thank you Scott!
Good stuff Merrill, I love to hunt on an eroded beach. Found a gold coin from the 1800s late last year in exactly the conditions you mentioned. (What no cool XP detector backpack or did I miss that unboxing? 😉)
GOLD COIN!!!! Life goals!!!! I got one in a seeded hunt but ya cant beat the real thing! Yes, they gave me the backpack too!
The display for your background is so cool!
Thank you!
No worries Merrill. Stay on your own schedule. Even though its just another day for you, you ve got a bunch on your plate. Job, family friends...Always enjoy your videos. Zeb from NH
Thank you Zeb!
Cant wait to see the future videos Merrill.
Thank you!
Hi merrill missed ya❤
Have you ever looked for /found old old valuable bottles ? Guy in a bar in SINY , told me they are in the eroded small beach edge cliffs that cave after storms. He was pretty adamant about it .😮
You are entertaining! That ring is a picasso, looks like teeny pieces of turquoise n coral
Your real friends on here will always be ready to watch you mate regardless of the time between vids👍
I appreciate that
Félicitations, c'est Noël après l'heure, xp ta gâté ,tu le mérites amplement vue le contenu que tu nous partage. Hâte de voir la suite. 👍 👍👍👍🇨🇵🇨🇵

Get out to Northern California and we can get you using that gold pan as well

I agree! This is what my students get: www.businesseducationny.com/ (I am currently teaching business to high school students).
I think all those bullets were from some war practice. They’re everywhere north of Corolla
How cool was that the XP sent you all. 🎉 I'm still trying to save up to get my first XP metal detector. Would love to get to 800 or 900
I’m working on a video right now for XP where I teach about the WS6 Master. That is a full Deus 2 at a 700 dollar price point. There is no XY screen and it is not waterproof. But the value is in the WS6
Hi, I am very happy that you choosed the XP brand😊 I have an XP too and I know that I will learn a lot from you 😊 Thank you
Before any of this, it was my favorite. My trip to XP headquarters fully reinforced what I believed!
Slow and steady wins the race !. I second the ORX as a cool detector. Hope to see your new layout for the XP display room and your results with the Deus and Deus 2.

Love your videos. You are my missing twin. I showed my wife, it's scary how much we look alike. And I grew up in the Bronx lol
Interesting video. Any chance that bracelet is gold plated and not solid gold? It looks plated to me.
Cool video again, like always!!!! Thanks! 😀👍👍👍
Thank you too!
Nice work, Merrill!! Looking forward to the “ new you”
Thank you!
Great video Merrill. Love the new background. You're going to love the Xtrem Hunter coils.... get ready to dig deep! Miss the cat gods lol.

Thanks for explanation on magnetic ground nice finds nice hunt exciting gifts new background this vid has hit all Thanks for posting.
Will be waiting. Good stuff.
I enjoyed it Merrill thank you for sharing with us.Good luck to you.

@@daverdc74 Thank you!
Another great video Merrill! I have a suggestion for XP. Have black sand accept and reject available on some of the other stock programs.
I've used the orx for many years this is one true detector that will teach you to listen to the sound it is so dynamic in the sound description that it gives you know it doesn't have many adjustment options but it's just as powerful as the D1 goes just as deep separates almost as well but the sound description and it gives you is like none other it's the only detector and I'll say this again it is the only detector that I can hear the sound of aluminum versus another non-ferrous Target in the same tid.

The beach is a classifier just like in the gold mining show.
really strange Picasso ring???!!!???
D2 standing alone in Aussie land I swear it's king on beach here digging faints at over foot deep in wet sand
I wholeheartedly agree!

Any word in regards to a small coil for the D2?
Im the new guy. I will say that XP research and development was incredible to see. Great things are on the horizon. As for when any new product is released is not up to me.
your tips on the beach are cool will try them out in the UK too ,
50 caliper and probably 30
Merril i am so excited because i am going out there today again and my dilemma was to either go back where i found that diamond ring or a new beach. Guess what i am back at the same beach see if there is some more treasure. I will let you know in 5 hrs ❤
Have fun!
And that’s what it should be about having fun! Man I scoured that beach allright unfortunately no gold today but i had so much fun 12km hike up and down. People are so curious what i find its fun to share and inspire them to go metal detecting. I did find a hand full of usablecoins and one silver earring with a stone. Its all worth it and the best thing about metal detecting is all my stress is gone!!! Cheers Merril!
We understand
Merrill. Now that you are running the XP 2 will the manticore be joining your collection of dust collectors ? I also was sad to see XP send you the nice gifts since that will make it impossible to be non biased in future reviews 😢
Yes, I am done reviewing detectors but I left you all in good hands. Indiana Tones (RUclips) has all of my non XP detectors and he will rewrite the ratings on iratemetaldetectors.com.
Great video Merrill 👍
Thank you Willie!
Beaches here in Ct and RI got hit hard last weekend we killed
Hey man I was wondering if you have ever tried areas in the spring where people have been tobogganing during the winter snow? I would think that activity shake some things loose and be lost instantly when it hits the snow.
I thought you were going to say that it was Zsa Zsa's mic. 😎
Awesome equipment that Deus sent you. I hope it doesn't change you from the person that we've come to love. Remember to dance with the one that brung you.
Does this mean you won’t cover any other metal detectors ? My reason for following you was because you showed and used every machine , and gave your advice and expertise. This looks like the end to an informative channel !!!!
Yep I’m done. Indiana tones (RUclips) has all of my old detectors and he will continue what I was doing. I have unlimited help from the founder to the engineers of XP to fully master their detectors (and help create new ones). Sick around if you wish or follow Indiana Tones.
My my Christmas came a little after for Merrill. Wind mic, oh many videos in the past watch Merrill get sand blasted at night and couldn't here anything. XP ? Is that the deep seaker?
Yes it is
Great video there the old guy back that made me startled to watch you from the early days of your channel now we need you mate a new rap song😍
I love doing that. The data shows it crashed my channel. Whenever I rapped there was huge audience drop off. RUclips stops pushing videos as soon as that happens. :(
@@MetalDetectingNYC that’s strange I really liked it I thought you were really good as a fact you have a knack for for it
The beaches here in ri got tore up by the storms
