- In this video, I'll share my story about how my mistake led me to gold. I'll show you how you can make the same mistake and find your own hidden treasures, if you're willing to put in the time with a metal detector.
I ignored the signals that the beach was giving me and moved away from the most logical treasure spot but it ended up with some gold in my pocket. You'll want to watch this video. You will learn a bit about beach metal detecting and you will see some treasure pulled from the sand.

You got me.
I'll get one.
I'm dedicated

I appreciate that@@martyv23 yes its an affiliate link.
I’m moving next door to you and when I see you going metal detecting on the beach I’ll be lurking around in same area looking for rings 🤣🤣🤣 you have so much luck 🍀 with them, enjoyed watching
PS. Nice to see sushi is back 😎😎😎😎🤣🤣🤣😂😂😊
The little pouch you showed at the beginning made me chuckle. 😀. Back in the old days I used a Whites Eagle Spectrum and my mam made me a cover out of leather to cover the big square box. 🙂. I then purchased a Minelab Explorer II 🤗😍 and my mam altered that square cover by attaching 3 loops to it and I now use it as a finds pouch in the fields. 😀.
I had a great day in the water with my new manticore while at Honeymoon island, FL. I found 5 rings. 2 silver 1 gold. I had 2 rings in 1 scoop. Just a great day in the water with perfect conditions.
Wow!
Merrill, yours are the most interesting videos on metal detecting, and I am always on the lookout for Metal Detecting New York City. Keep em coming and stay safe.
Thank you for the long term support Harry!
That was such a pretty spoon. I keep and use cutlery that is in good shape. It makes food taste FUN and I get to enjoy the memories of what I found on that day.
I kept it too!
Enjoy your comments & videos
Thank-you Merrill.
Su made in Italy CH plated in Spanish. We love your channel.
Thank you for the ID and the kind words!
@@MetalDetectingNYCAu is the chemical element for gold
I’m learning a TON from your videos about beach hunting! The science behind the sand!
Glad it is helping.
Can you school us about pinpointers? From a durability and ease of use point of view.
If you already have, can you pinpoint me to that show?
Love your style and attitude!
I just bought a Minelab one. In time I will get more
I have learned a lot from your channel. The metal indicating the lowest spot is something I also noticed. It is things like that that help me hunt the beach more efficient. Thank you Merril. Will be heading for the beach in a couple of hours 😀
Thank you!
Everyone has their way to detect a beach. I still think it is by pure luck when any of us swing over Gold and Silver. Understanding how the tide works is the best advice on a more of a chance of finding those goodies.. Happy Hunting Brother.. Peace
Yes!
Great video! Gold is awesome to find!
It sure is!
It took me years to dump all of the junk jewelry and stuff that I had found over a decade.
It felt good.
Kept all the silver coins and rings...and like 20lbs of copper.
Not much gold in Wa.
The 24 hour begal shop is the true treasure!
Yes!!!!!
As an Aussie, bagels are not such a thing. Like they are there but not a big deal. But every one i have tasted has been tough and not really a good mouth experience. In the USA, are they hard crust and soft mid, soft all the way, hard, or other? And why do they seem to be prefered over just a plain hamburger bun or sliced bread?
@@MisterGames I don't seem to remember eating bagels until the early 80's or so. Why they became so popular? I have no idea. But, a toasted "everything" bagel with veggie cream cheese just hits the spot!
I love the Contin and science
You are making me want to go coin hunting again. But I get so sick of idiots coming up to me or people calling the cops.
The ring maker is Halina Fuch. 👍
Nicely done I enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
Awesome video man!
Those rings will come in handy paying for college(2)...WTG Merrill
Yes! 3 years and counting down!!!!
Keep hunting , you have good day and bad, go,go,go
Go!Go!Go!
Let’s go, let’s go treasure💕🌺✌️👵
Whilst Su can mean made in Italy, if it is followed by CH and the SU is capitalised then the SU means “Silver Unlimited” which is another way of marking 92.5% or “Sterling” silver. The CH is Spanish “Chapa” meaning it’s plated. And the CZ of course stands for good ol cubic zirconia. So basically that ring is 925 silver plated and the stones are cubic zirconias.
Cool thank you!
Very good hunting. Keep it Lit peace from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪 Tiocfaidh Ár Lá 🇮🇪.
Thank you!
I'll be heading to Wildwood, NJ next month, taking the Simplex to do some beach hunting for the first time. I just started binge watching your beach hunting videos, having dreams of gold rings and pirates treasures already..lol. Good luck on your next hunt!
Good Luck! I have a few on the Simplex for the beach. Amazing detector, but it is far behind the SMF and pulse beach machines. That doesn't mean that you wont get anything. The dry has been really good to me this summer. The Zero ground balance thing will only go so far. You can get some obvious signals in the wet. Im not trying to discourage you. Im just sharing my honest opinion. Its a heck of a detector in non salt environments.
Look at the sea glass, that’s pricey stuff too.
Nice to see what you find, but it would be more beneficial to see how you have your Manticore set up for ferrous limits, sensitivity, and stability levels.
Big money big money!
Next 10 days should make up for the slow deposits this year!
Yep! Its going to get HOT!
I know there is a point and time when I transition to beach detecting. This is very helpful! Thank you!
You’re welcome
GOLD !!!!!!!
Thanks for vid and info.
Thank you!
Been watching you for a year. Love your videos.
You the Yoda, learn alot from you.
I appreciate that
Nice vlog lesson learnt remember this on next exam
Still got gold and rings
Good hunting next time out
Regards Tony
Thank you Tony!
Merrill? You Rock all things!
THANK YOU!
Great 👍🏽 I've been following your tips and it's paying off... Thanks for sharing knowledge 🙏🏽
Awesome!
From your top 5 rated detectors, which one or two are the easiest to use (interface etc.)? I want to make a significant upgrade in my metal detector. Excellent saltwater use is important.
Considering, ease of use and excellence in saltwater, here is my pick: amzn.to/3KIUsat
@@MetalDetectingNYC I was thinking the same thing after reading your reviews and watching many of your videos. Thank you for your recommendation!
Omw to the beach
Great job i enjoyed your hunt. Good luck to you/
Thank you!
I miss ny and the hamptons beachs❤ ty for fyi
Thats actually on my bucket list for the summer! Ive never detected the Hamptons beaches
Time for gold!
Yessir!
Been there at stupid dark hours, look forward to september when I can sleep again !
Awesome hunt 👍👍❤️
Thank you!
Thanks for sharing more of your knowledge in this video!
I remember many, many years ago, I'd visit a beach and see these guys hunting in waste-deep water. Years later, i got a suitable machine for full control box submersion, and set off to do exactly what they were doing. However, their strategy has never worked for me. These freshwater swimming beaches may as well have 10 ft of sand-covered bottom, as I can't even get a signal. I know those old-timer detectorists were not amateurs and I recall reading a great deal on how to metal detect beaches, and it was quite common for enthusiasts to swing their machines in the water, rather than scanning the water's edge at low tide. What am I missing here?
How do people find rings in waiste-deep water, when I can't even get a signal due to the depth of the sand? My only guess is that those guys swinging detectors in the waiste-deep water must be feeling around for the "cuts" or low channels created by wave action...or maybe they had located a clay bottom zone or something?
I have access to a freshwater beach that literally doesnt get any deeper than waiste-deep until you wade out to more than 150 ft from shore, but what's the point in detecting all of that shallow water when I can't get a signal?
What are your thoughts, friend?
I think those letters in the ring were initials of a married couple.
Beautiful finds 😊
Thank you! 😊
I could never go and not Grid , I do fan out when I hit a heavy but if nothing it’s back to gridding high traffic areas , I go to beach a ton when people are there to observe where they mostly sit , throw footballs , wade/ swim in the water vs the tide levels i make it very scientific
We have to make the process logical and tolerable for our brains. In NY there are so many beach options. You can spend too much time on one and not enough in the other. Or it can backfire like it did on me in this video.
@@MetalDetectingNYC right you get more push in and push out there than my Bay beach here in VA but if I take the HRBT to VA Beach that’s one long open ocean beach totally different animal
Thank you for sharing this awesome content
Merril im starting to hear about leaking manticores being used in water, i think around the coil input to main unit ... are you hearing of any cases
Mexican Pizza For ALL
Thanks for making these videos :) I really enjoy them, it's really fun the effects you put on when you find gold/silver! I haven't found any gold yet after 3 years of metal detecting but I am going to Cyprus in 3 weeks so hopefully I'll find some then. Atleast I have found some cool stuff like sword parts from the 1500s!
Sword parts!!! Incredible! Gold is all about the commitment to hunt all metal and dig anything g that sounds interesting. I dig SO MUCH trash! Good luck! Rooting for you!
@@MetalDetectingNYC Yeah it is incredible! I just wish I'd found the actual sword, I've found the sheath end decoration piece and a piece of a crossguard so far. And I collect all the aluminum I find so I can look back at how far I've come!
And thanks! I hope to get some sushi soon :)
Nice hunt thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for watching!
Hello Merrill I like your videos I normally do water hunt but I started wed sand and I been doing good finding gold so I have a question I have excal 2 but I want to buy another metal detector only dry and wet sand so what did you recommend deus 2 or manticore thanks on advance
Any metal detector on DRY sand will ding if you go over it with a detector.
Truly amazing! Congrats ! from New Hampshire 03054... The skills you have and the years of knowledge cant be beat. Seriously buddy you and the Nox800 is like He-man with the Sword of Grayskull.. No joke..
Golly!..how many rings do you have from metal detecting?
I’m about to hit 800!
No beaches in Wyoming!
There has to be lakes and old swimming holes!
Dude I didn't hear you say Fluffin Muffin once this episode. WTH I'm gonna quit watching your channel over it LMAO Not :) When you asked what that green rope was I said to myself it's a Fluffin Muffin LMAO. You've got us trained. :)
Youre right Time Lord! Fluffin Muffins have not been spoken lately! LOL
❤
❤❤❤
do you sell the rings you find?
No, ive returned a few but for the most part I keep them all.
Love watching your videos so I want to get a rig. I’m also at the beach I have an offer to get a equinox 800 for $300. Or I was going to buy a minelab xterra. Brand new for $270 my question is ,is the equinox really that much better of a detector?
Its 10 to 15 percent better for double the price. shrsl.com/466bm
When a diamond flashes blue it's true, when a diamond flashes yellow, give it to a different fellow
Wow your videos are over-the-top❤ question are you a metal detectorist or a treasure hunter when people ask you on the beach what are you doing I say I'm metal detecting they go oh oh but buddy when I tell them I'm a treasure hunter the look on their faces it's a whole new excitement🎉🎉🎉
I just tell them im trying to get my steps in for the day! LOL
Are there really Vampires on Staten Island???
Yes I get bagels with them!
I need a beach scoop. YOU selling any ?
Merrill, do you change some of your finds into cash or do you just keep them all?
I keep any gold and silver and historic things (coins included). I want to eventually turn the gold in to a down payment for another house.
@@MetalDetectingNYC I get asked all the time what am I going to do with all the gold and silver jewellery I have found and my answer is I don't know. 😀. I just like metal detecting and finding things all though now I just do inland over here in England. 🙂.
😊
Merrill, you made a critical mistake after you found the gold cross by moving away from the area after you found it....chances were extremely high that there was also a huge gold chain that broke off and was somewhere near that cross.....not sure if it was edited out but wondering if you went back and canvased the area?
👍
Well you still scored ether way 🤷🏿♂️
Yes! I chalk this one up to luck. Im heading back tonight.
@@MetalDetectingNYC lol I was going out but my wife said different 🤦🏿♂️
Your sleeping habits qualify you for musicianship.
I do country, rap and metal: ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=metal+detecting+rap
Get some cheap GPS trackers from China, bury some in the dry, some in the wet, and some out in the water. Track them for science!
I bought tiles with that idea. They lose signal underwater
@@MetalDetectingNYC They do? I guess those they use to track sharks etc. might be a bit more expensive... Would be cool to see how they move in different conditions.
Crowdfunding?
Nipple cover find of the day lol
Follow the iron and you will find the gold 🏴☠️
Yessir!
I’ve watched a few videos and I love the content and the topic. But, the interjections of Hagen daas and sushi etc are just too long and too repetitive. Really makes me skip around or want to stop watching.
But, thank you for sharing.
2 bags of Taco Bell to eat on the way home. Sushi for dinner. I'd say that goes into the win column for a single beach hunt.
Yessir!
Aren't you afraid of muggers or something? How do you stay safe at night? My neighborhood is _reasonably_ safe yet I've had a few creepy encounters with one guy reaching into his pocket on me, thank God it was just an apple. Never went outside after 10 PM again 😅
EQUINOX has been UNLOCKED!
my xterra705 bought the big one on my last hunt, and I just got an unexpected bonus at work.
Going for the 900.
You are going to love it! It will be like unlocking another universe!
Its okay, we all have that problem... Wanting to go out there further and explore, while you know it better above 🥲😅
