Metal Detecting: The New Era Has Begun & What We Find Will Change
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 июн 2023
- For years, finding coins has been a constant of metal detector usage. With increased use of credit cards, apple pay, amazon, cell phone commerce, I am beginning to notice less coins dropped (and by a lot). But that doesn't mean that treasures won't be found. People drop things constantly. Wherever people go, there will be stuff to find. But make no mistake, a new era has begun and what I find is different than past videos. In this video, we're going to discuss the new era of metal detecting and what we can expect to find when we use our metal detectors.
As the new era of metal detecting has begun, we're finding hidden treasure that was previously unseen. This video will discuss what we can find when using our metal detectors and how this new era of metal detecting is changing the way we think about treasure hunting.

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 19 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.

Hey Merrill, what can I do to clean up coins from a little bit or for serious corrosion?❤
@@jens.9155 electrolysis
@@MetalDetectingNYC how?

I believe I will!
My mother would only shoot the wet sand. Water temp made fingers shrink & metal expand. Always in the ripples, black sand and mean low watermark. She said the ripples HELD the stuff and the BLACK SAND indicated the lowest sand level just before rock and that was your older stuff. She would monitor the New & Full moon activity for peak low tides. She found A LOT of stuff to the point fellow hunters disliked her. Yet, she swung a 5 pound Compass Coin Magnum (one of the first 5) and was friendly even on low find days....
Wow!
Great advice! Thank you
Wow ! Thanks for sharing ;)
I've seen storms cut some deep cuts but it put the black sand up on the higher sand way up on the beach. A lot has to do with the condition when the storm stops. If wind stops and the storm ends on a high tide it can leave the black sand up on the beach and none is in the cut. I personally look for cuts that hold shells, gravel and rocks that weigh about as much as the targets you're hunting. I've also seen coins surf back down with a wave while I'm chasing it lol. I like when the Strom's end on a low tide because it doesn't fill the cuts back in. But then again I will get out into the water I don't just hunt on the dry beach. You'd be surprised how much is hanging out waist deep waiting on a storm to bring it in under the right condition. What's great about detecting is we can find stuff in all conditions at about anytime.
@@jeanponce2017 My mothers methods were without storms. In fact her favorite beach was in a cove. Rarely did the sand get turned up or beaten up. This was just everyday shooting on her part. However in regard to a hurricane that hit in 1981, she went storm shooting with the low tide that happened to be at the time the Eye came overhead. She got about 45 minutes in before having to leave. In that 45min, she hit several coin pockets even with some silver and saw additional erosion further out than what could normally be seen before. She was a great detectorist, not because she was my mother, but because of amount of stuff she found and because of the research and techniques she implemented in a hobby in its infancy.
I love hunting the beach at night, not many people watching and asking you what you are looking for or finding, no direct sunlight and a fresh breeze 🤗 yuppie
Yes! Same here! If I wake up in the middle of the night it is welcomed! I just go to the beach.
I wish I lived near the beach ! Never tried night detecting, it’s a little suspect over in the UK being caught out at night with a detector, people would think you were up to no good, although I’m sure the beach would be fine. I’ll try it soon and let you know how it goes, I’ll probably try Talacre Beach first which is closest to me. 👍🏼
Same here, I like doing all nighters, see the sun rising ... The solitude , peace and quiet ... Greetings from Brasil
In my 5 years detecting in the east end of Long Island, I don’t get very lucky at the beach. I have pulled one silver ring and modern clad at the beach, all of my other finds have been permissions, parks, and woods. There is a lot of retired detectors out by me they grid out all the obvious spots. It is becoming more difficult to find good spots, need to think outside the box. Happy Hunting!
Happy hunting. Yes I avoid beaches where a lot of detectorists go.
Sheep thought extinct
My eyes light up when I hear taco bell; then find myself dancing around the garage! Go,go,go!!!
Go! Go! Go!
That one statement made the whole video!!! Sugar Free! That's why it rang up so low!!! You gotta love it. Thanks my friend for another good one!
I really appreciate that you teach while you record .... it is very helpful
I now get excited over quarters. coins are getting harder to come by
Yes I am definitely seeing that too.
My SC beaches do not seem to have much at the wet, but higher up in the dry is where I've had good success. Best for me is where there are cliffs along the upper shoreline. This is the area where the high tides have come up and drawn sand down towards the serf as the water receded. I detect the area just below and extending out towards the water from the cliffs say 5 to 10 feet.
Man, I really enjoy your videos. Don't change your format. You have reignited my interest in metal detecting. And I've learned much from every video. Learned more from your videos than all other MD videos combined.
Good morning! New video!! I wish I was closer to the beach, nothing in north Texas like the beaches you hunt. I am however loaded with Clad all day everyday with the University of north Texas here. Enough to buy a Manticore.
Enjoy the clad while it lasts. Yes, it can literally pay for a new detector.
I love and appreciate you do your homework. That beach book was very interesting!
Thank you for sharing another awesome video Merrill
I was going to go to the beach after Father’s Day, but I knew people with metal detecting insomnia would beat me to it! So, I went at the end of Father’s Day before the sun went down. Still some folks, but some fresh drops!
Hey, Merrill, congratulations on the nice finds. A ring is a ring, and a watch is a watch, and under the metal detector the two shall meet!!! Thanks for those awesome tips my friend, they are greatly appreciated, your awesome!!! Again, congratulations, on the bracelet and I love the coinage, I had fun and thanks for the laughs kind sir, a subscriber, happy hunting, Greg the Egg.
Brother i was JUST in italy for 7 days and thanks to your videos ( i was detecting first time on the beach) i made huuge progress in just a few days i was there....3-4 days i was learning and pulling lot of trash coins here and there BUT last 2-3 days i was on Fire i made over 20 euro (10 euro in one session) and 5 silver jewlerly it was so much fun! It was key for me go to busy beach more close to the city centre and all good stuff was way more back from the wet but i had to pick up like 60 bottle caps in session it was hard core :D Thank you for your tutorials ,)) Cheers from Czech
That is FANTASTIC! I am happy to hear this!
Things can turn up anywhere on a beach, high and dry, or low and wet. Although I much prefer low tide over high dry sand, truthfully anything can be found in either place. If your hunting low wet sand, keep something in mind, if you find a lot of pull tabs and no coins, it’s a bad sign because pull tabs are light weight aluminum, where as coins and rings are heavy metals.
Nicely done assortment of finds, i enjoyed the video, 🇺🇸
Yep you have to put your time in
I like the mouse crotal bell at the end. 😂 Nice night hunt, Merrill. Nice Pandora bracelet. _/ 👍
Dang man you should be hitting those curb strips on your way!
That was the smallest corral bell I’ve ever seen. Made for a mouse perhaps. Great hunt.👍
I am a novice and find your videos extremely educational! Bought a Nokta Legend to start this hobby.
I'm always looking forward to seeing your vids. Happy hunting and good luck 👍👍🤞🤞🤞
Thank you!
I've seen your videos in the wind season and I'm like holly crap sideways wind and really hard to hear his comments. And we like the techno nerdy information as we are detectorist we love the science of detecting. Thankyou keep teaching us
Merrill great info video, You are so right need to be out to dig about. Temp in Tampa Bay is 91 and humidity of 70% but I need to DIG GO GO GO!!!
Go! Go! Go!
Awesome video man! I really love your channel. And I miss the unlocks and your raps! It always made me laugh!
I appreciate that!
Very informative are your videos. ! And I’m not finding anything watching videos so thanks Russ
Always dig the low tones, even in the dry. That’s why I use a hand scoop this time of year, lots of foil, but usually not deep or hard to dig
Hi Merrill, great advice and it is poor day when we haven't learnt something. Swing technique is also critical when detecting. Not wanting to be critical, but to educate, please have a look at your swing technique at around 7.12. You miss about 3 to 4 feet of area on your left every swing. That's a missed opportunity. I have found it's better to slow down, cover your area. After all we get up early to give us the best opportunity. Love your vids, all the best. Happy hunting.
That’s fair! But here is my rationale. And I admit it works a lot better in the wet. ruclips.net/video/DU2gxTsO0Jw/видео.html
Found a 14k gold loop earring at rye beach this morning in NH. Thanks for sharing Merrill
Congratulations!
Love the music too!!!
Great Video ~ Thank You. 👍
Was over 100 today south Padre Beach, tx, 2 quarters 3 pennies a fishing weight and a hot wheels car. Was high tide though but it's when i could go so🤷♂️.
Thanks Merrill! Great video
Glad you liked it!
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you!
Sir Merrell so true on metal detecting changeing the biggest difference i see is way to many people detecting!, i use to go to the beach u saw one other detector, now 1 dozen or more!, whether they know how to use it or not, i would average 5 or 6 rings when I went, now 1 if your lucky, congratulations on your finds
I agree with you about coins and what we find ,bottle caps and ring pulls aren't the only trash now we have bits of electronic circuitry broken up which comes in good, the trash is evolving 😢
This is true
Oh that was short and sweet part 2 coming soon !
Gonna try live later this week.
Whenever the "unlocked" music comes on, I kind of get a feeling like I just dug the item? Weird, but I think I get more excited during the dig, thinking the tunes may be coming.
I might have to bring them back then!
The internet and RUclips has made it more and more popular and soon there will be nothing left to find .
merrill? you are a true teacher. you cant help yourself. bravo young dude.
Thank you Dawn!
You got "foiled" quite a bit, but that Pandora bracelet was great!
Foiled all the time!!! The low numbers get you the majority of the gold!
SS ring is barbed wire design. Also you skip 50% of the ground at times? If I planted 10 coins I wonder how many you would miss at that swing?
Fun beach hunt Merrill.
Thx. Anthony!
🎉🎉🎉 great hunt
There is less cash around these day's a lot of ppl are using technology to pay for stuff. The other is there is more ppl out there detecting. Put them two together it means less finds . Love your work
I enjoyed your beach hunt' thank you sharing.I enjoyed your video.
Thanks Jimmy!
@1:30 I thought my battery was dying 😂
Nice clean up effort lol thanks for sharing!!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
Definitely less change in the sand. At least we have 1 & 2 $ coins in Canada.
I see less fresh drop pull tabs as well.
In dry I just crank separation on the nox as I don't generally look for old drops there and allows me to make up for lack of goodies with swing speed.
Thanks for the video hunt. Happy Father's Day Merrill. 👍
Happy Father’s Day !
let's go let's go treasure ✌👵
Awesome Merrill 😁
Hi Merrill great video really enjoyed I am from the United Kingdom I love your videos
Thank you William!
Thanks for vid.
You bet
Heck ya, where I am, there's only a few places where I've found that waves concentrate things, I do the wet at low tide, then when the beach clears at night I do the dry. Found my biggest gold ring ever last night, 12grams at 18k, in the dry... paid for the detector again :)
YESSIR!!!!! Im looking forward to seeing that one! Congratulations!
Snap! 12.8g 18k mens wedding band 3 weeks ago. Low tide in a cut.
Great vid as always thanks 👏🏼 Let’s hope Beavis and Butthead aren’t watching with all this talk of preferring wet rings over dry rings 😂😂😂 sorry, it made me chuckle. 👍🏼
Dry sand is good .. Tough to walk in for awhile. Let Get it. Scoring rings and what a Bracelet congrats. Happy Hunting .. Peace
Thanks Danny Boy!
Merrill THANKYOU!
Thank YOU!
17:30 probably a thorn crown inspired ring
I don't hunt on salt water beaches but I am on the Great Lakes so there is some degree of sand movement. That being said.........I've found more in the dry sand than I ever have in the last two years by literally digging every trashy signal. I even check iron tones by kicking off a few inches of sand with my foot. Surprisingly the number of signals that suddenly improve when I do this is not insignificant. So much so that I do it in tot lots now as well. That small or dainty or chain gold hides in the trash. Heck even some small and dainty silver does if it's tarnished enough.
That watch has to be from the 80's. Still working, somebody was really bummed to lose it ☹ Great hunt, stay dirty 👍
I detect at Ft Lauderdale Beach and I, too have seen a sharp drop in the number of coins that I find. No more four or five dollar days.
Yep!
Hi Merrill, hope you find lots of jewelry.
Thank you Gloria!
Yesterday when I was on the beach I had the Taco Bell tune set up to play at a moments notice! Lol think I jinxed myself!
THATS SO COOL! No its the slow time of year!
@@MetalDetectingNYC well it’s all about learning! Good luck Merrill!
It took a licking, but it kept on ticking! Good old Casio watch.
Ha ha the ring song u crack me up
Check if your subscribers might have a Pandora “M” , I’m sure they would be happy to give you one they found to complete your Pandora bracelet for MYA. Thanks for sharing your videos, I’ve found so much at the beaches here in Texas from using your technique’s and teaching’s. No Pandora letters though. Best of luck .
Just downloaded the legend target Bible, hope you make one for the new simplex.
I get rings most hunts in the dry when its busy. Most are silver or junk mind. People take them off before they swim then lose them.
Thanks Merrill Your doing a wonderful job ! I purchased your Nokta Makro Legend Bible a couple of weeks a ago. And on your recommendation launched into purchase Ing a Nokta Makro Ledgend as well. But it’s so chattery in the wet. I find myself taking my Sea hunter MK II instead. Yup I can’t discriminate and am the beach janitor. I find a ring just about every time I go and Unlock Taco Bell!
I miss Long Beach and Lido Beach, NY. The key is Low tide and chest high water. In a beach that has 3000 people per day; or at least it seems that way. The beach that’s made Sarasota , Fl famous Siesta Key!
Did you adjust your stability setting on the Legend? That was the difference maker for me to stop the chatter.
Are unlocks a thing of the past?? If so ,,bogus it made the channel fun.
I looked at the data. People left the video whenever I unlocked stuff more so than not. I had to decide did I want to have fun or did I want to grow this. If you remember I wrote about 150 songs. The day shows most people didn’t want that.
I have been doing great in the dry this year. Just have to be patient with the garbage
Greetings from Idaho. Like 200🤗
Hello and thank you!
Anyone ever try the city dump?
Hike n bike trails with no sidewalks?
And camping grounds?
Fishing ponds?
I never have seen anyone detecting here in N.Texas around old courthouses & parks.
And Historical landmarks...
Lots of folks going off grid here off The Trinity River fishing & camping...
Final...I think im going to purchase The Natka Simplex model just from watching the review.
Thanks.
And. I want to enjoy this hobby but seems to me id rather not dig over 5 inches each time to only pull up modern coins Anywhere Everybody continues to sweep ,,,So seems to me off the besten path will be my starting point
Apple air pods are part of the new finds hit list. Had 5 sets now!
Yes!
Are they any good now? Can they be RE used? Thank you
@@MetalDetectingDonna I use mine.
@@MetalDetectingDonna Yes but they all came from the dry sand.
@@MetalDetectingNYC Do you put them in your own case and press the reset button so you can use them ?
Get it 🏴☠️
Mr. Pirate Coin in the house!
Toe ring...the only ring I really don't like finding :-)
What about separations on iron.
Is the cover on your pin pointer some thing you bought retail? I was thinking about getting one for my app.
It’s a furniture mover for the bottom of chairs.
@@MetalDetectingNYC how genius of you. I think I just spotted them in my in-laws couch. Lol this is an epic find!
I can sure tell people aren't swimming with change in the pocket hardly any more. I seldom use cash which means I don't get pocket change. You may be on to something. I use to get fresh coin drops almost every trip to a swimming area. Always let me know whether someone beat me to it. That was 15 or so years ago. 2-5 dollars in change was common.
Great cure for insomnia, or just the urge to get out there and detect in the sand.... fun!
Yes indeed!
Hey Merrill how are you brother ? Quick question I bought the Vanquish 440 is that a alright one to start with or should I go get that pro you have so I can learn from you correctly ?
Vanquish 440 is an excellent place to start especially for the beach.
@@MetalDetectingNYC Thank You Merrill Appreciate your time . 👊🏼
Why not use your minelab 15x12 coil here?
What do you use to record? Some kind of harness and GoPro or phone?
You seen the new video about the new XP machine coming out with 2 coils ?
Actually sand removal exposes layers not uncovered for decades or longer, just like major storm erosion. The newer sand deposited on top of old layers collects new stuff but they good stuff can be deeper than you can detect. I had an old great lakes beach that was used for 120 years got eroded to rock in the 70's, they never restored it. All the things there literally sank like gold in a sluice box...
I notice you move quickly when detecting so the sweeps don't make full coverage. Is there a reason for this? Genuine question and no disrespect intended.
Yes! This logic works a lot better in the wet. But it works: What Steph Curry Can Teach You About Beach Metal Detecting
ruclips.net/video/DU2gxTsO0Jw/видео.html
@@MetalDetectingNYC Makes sense to me, thanks for the reply and pointers. I'm definitely going to be searching for the cluster of targets at a faster pace from now on! Thank you.
Crotal bell for a mouse. You're slipping.
YOURE RIGHT!!!!! LOL
One would think that a government entity would be tracking the daily beach levels.
I think so too but I think it’s distance of water from street. When it gets close the beach gets replenished.
How did you know that wrist watch was found at 4.11am. 🤔.
LOL
Im in stuart florida is this the best time to go beach? I learn a lot from watching ur lectures and im thinking of getting my first detector i think simplex is gonna b good for me for the first.
Simplex is awesome on dirt and not awesome in salt. Go vanquish. In Florida it’s always a good time.
Ty i was having such hard time choising love ur videos👌👍😉
❤❤❤
Detect the rich people beaches Merrill
Have you ever used your detector in Florida?
Yes, I have a place in Cape Coral and family in Fort Lauderdale and Miami. I have a handful of Florida videos.
@@MetalDetectingNYC ok cool, I'm in Jacksonville, my AT PRO it broke and I don't know why but I haven't bought the ledgen yet 🤷🏿♂️
You should open the bottom of the Casio to let it dry a little. these watches are not 100% waterproof.
Noted!
Merrill are you running a NOX give away? If not someone is trying to run a scam on your site
It’s a scam. Please report. I would never solicit through the comments. I will take down any that I see as well.
Schools out for summer. SCCCHOOOLS OUT FOR EVER!!!!! Im out in Oregon, we dont have the years of dropped stuff, like you do.... Rare to find something from the 1800s... I have some old abandoned homesteads out in Eastern Oregon on my radar. And a old military camp. Trying to find old swimming holes also.
Water at beaches, is always to cold for swimming, in Oregon. From about San Fran. south, is where people swim in the Ocean...
Do you get a little nervous out at that time of night by yourself
While I concede that there are probably a lot of people who could kick my *** in the world. I tell myself there is nowhere I will feel intimidated. I taught 20+ years in some of NYC’s most challenging neighborhoods and I came out with more faith in humanity. I assure you that nobody jumps you if you smile at them first.
