- Welcome back to the Metal Detecting NYC channel. In this vlog series, join me on a metal treasure hunt in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. Many consider this to be the prime spot for metal detection in New York City. Fortunately, I struck gold and unearthed a plethora of coins, intriguing metal objects, and even stumbled upon something truly unusual towards the end of the video. I'll walk you through my metal hunting equipment, share the tools settings, and reveal the key indicators that led me to valuable finds buried beneath the ground.

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 22 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.

That round, gilded thing is a push back to a pin or tie tack. You can unscrew the end to loosen/tighten.
That's right. When the hat pins started showing up that people put on their hats and ball caps those pins were mostly what you saw. Before the cheap, stamped clips.
100% correct
Wow! Thank you for the ID!
Well done 👍
Hey Merrill, You might want to check if that 1914 wheat has a D mintmark. If it does, that's your find of the day!!! In the rough condition it still could be a $100 wheat cent! Your last item is a cane handle.
Plain and simple, we need a small coil for the D2. Even the 9" coil is too big for trashy city parks. Too many objects under the coil at one time, throws the VDI numbers off. I've been detecting "by ear" for years, I don't put much faith in VDI numbers. Recommendations, SLOW DOWN, overlap your coil sweeps at least 50%, and slow your walking pace once you hit a "hot spot". I've found more silver coins by going slow and listening for the week/deep signals (over 200 last year alone). Keep up the good work Merrill.
Long overdue
By ear is the best way. You don't need the vdi especially with full tones. That 9" beats alot of smaller competitors coils.
lol…yeah, good luck with tones only In US fields and parks.
I've never had the remote on the shaft. Hunt by sound and only rarely look at I'd. No disc, no notch and I can call most targets. It might help that I played the trombone. 😁
A 160 year old Indian ... think about that for a minute. What technology was present at that time? What did they do for fun? What was the fad in 1864? So much history we dont know
After watching this, your idea might be workable with the X-Terra Pro I'm going to order in a couple weeks. Crank up the discrimination, and turn the iron volume to off.
I'm 62, and have been detecting off and on for close to 50 years. My old standby detector is Fisher 1260. I love that thing. It hits targets really deep.
My wife is wanting to learn. She has a Garrett Freedom Ace I found her in a pawn shop for $50 almost 14 years ago. We both think it's time to treat ourselves to a new detector, and have almost finalized our decision on the Minelab X-Terra Pro after watching many videos, and reading forums. The biggest reason for that choice is that they're waterproof for our trips to the beach, they seem pretty deep, and buying 2 of them will be very easy on the budget.
We've started watching your videos instead of regular tv shows during and after supper. Keep up the great tips videos!
Walking stick handle I think 🤔 great video 🎉
That was my first guess on the silver plated item....
Oh wow! I think you are right! Thank you for the ID!
I concur!
I just popped in to say the same thing, lol. Cool find.
@@wheeldealrepeat3698 thank you!
Nice to see you hitting those goals, you definitely deserve it. Everyone needs to stop feeding the algorithm commenting how fake the plant vids are… we obv know they are fake n just trend bc of people talking abt them being fake
A pleasure to watch as always Merrill. Difrent to our English Gary but sir you are a shinning xp Ambassador. You atain a child like but truly professional art in detecting that makes a detectorist want more and watching your videos over the years, child like just a matter of phrases...lol.....Excellent sir....
Merriell, your explanation was simple and clearer than any I've heard. Plus I enjoy your humor! Thanks!
YAY!!! Merrill's back. Missed ya man. We need more hunts!!! Great video. Lots of good pointers and tips. I have 2 questions: Could you use the big numbers for me/us? and what would be the difference between discriminating that high versus notching? Are ya out doing another one yet? lol let's go !!!
Great video brother. Was just checking your channel yesterday to see if I've missed a video drop and today I was excited to see this drop. I'm a D2 owner and love it. Lots to learn and some many setups but the sound of this machine is 2nd to none.
Glad to see Phillip the box back😊
Great help thanks for taking time post nice hunt, good finds really good information on use of the Deus . Waiting for next post. Thanks.
Thank you so much Merril, this is a clever approach!
I have the Makro Red Racer, and this is how i also fish for those deep ones. Its the only way to find those hidden ones in heavily hunted areas. Great Video!
Great work Merrill, thank you
Thanks! Great hunt!
Awesome old coins. Thanks for sharing your hunt with us.
Always loved your humor Merrel
Thanks for the long time support Mark!
Lessons and examples like this motivate me so much to try new things with my machines & get outside to hunt targets! Merril is still a legend even when he's using a deus!
I have the DEUS II, if you have an open area where you are looking for deep targets, I set mine with Descrim at 45 (nickels being 62) and sensitive at 99 or whatever is stable as high as possible… and hunt and listen for any positive sounding targets and check the numbers… DEUS II gives incredibly accurate numbers at depth, but all machines are fallible when targets are far away… then I dig almost anything that sounds good but you can barely pick up… you might be surprised 😯
Yes, I heard the difference!! I use almost the exact same settings! Your on it!
Always enjoy. Thanks Terry
Thank you Terry!
Just changed my ws6 to similar setup. Thanks Can’t wait to try it.
9:21 button snap
Awesome hunt Merrill ' great video thank you for sharing.
I've been doing same thing with my manticore with the 15 inch coil and getting great results. Looking for those high conductors and with lots of sound modulation. Also helps with small objects when you can't rely on the depth indicator. Deus 2 looks very capable as well.
Great content as always Merrill!
Very informative and even more enjoyable to watch
I am so happy that you are now 100% dedicated to DEUS. I have a spot where the audio response / disc. setting will help me out greatly 🙂
tie tack back knob / pin holder is a very good guess, I was leaning towards an old fashion table (small) lamp knob, turn it to turn the lamp on / off.
Nice hunt thanks for sharing!!!
You a beast to find good stuff with all those signals.
Another great video Merrill, I too am just learning the Deus 2, at first I was a little frustrated with trying to understand it but after 2 months I have no regrets. Its an incredible machine that works like no other detector out there. The more you learn its language and harmonics the more successull you get. Most times via sound not target id it will tell me when there is an aluminum bottle cap versus a coin, you dont really need to look at the screen. My Legend has been gathering dust in the corner, so sad. Keep those vids coming and perhaps you could do one on determining iron, iron falsing and iron masking as there are some various tools at your disposal to remedy all these issues.
Great video thanks Merrill
Nice hunt Merrill, congrats on the IHP's, Silver and cane handle
I remember playing in Prospect Park in the 1950's while visiting my Uncle who lived on President St. it really hasn't changed all that much and you seemed to dig up some real nice Old Coins.
I like how you used the audio response. I will add an audio filter of 1 to my Deus 2 and it helps clean up those deep coin signals.
Thank you Merril !
Welcome!
I am admiring your lack of snow again
Not after tonight.
Nice to see you using the Deus settings, cherry picking the better targets in a metal infested site, enjoyed watching 🥳🥳🥳
Great video Merrill 👍
i just bought the nokta legend pro pack from kellyco, i gave you as the reason i bought it! thank you
Nice finds gotta love them Häagen-Dazs
Thank you for the deus 2 tips Merrill, i will try them. Those first two items look like a lapel pin and a old cuffling.
Great video Merrill. Going to use that info on my detector next time Im at a trashy park.
Finally! A video, jeez!
Deus is a tremendous machine . I think the moral of this story is for every detectorist to really learn their machine to increase the amount of great targets when they go out digging.
Merrill, you eluded to my technique at the end of the video. I set my disc. low and I set my 2nd tone vol. mid range so I barely hear it, then i set my nickel range high. Then my 4th tone is set just above my 2nd tone which allows me to decide whether or not to dig it. My 5th tone again is set high. This is like using audio discrimination! One last thing, i set my nickel range to (62) so the tone i hear for nickels only comes in at 62...this teaches my ears to the nickel sound and i can pick out a nickel at 61 or 63 also and very few pull tabs. Thanks for the video which helps us to find those deep signals!!!
Audio response feature has been around a while on high end detectors. On my old Whites XLT it was called modulation and was an on/off selection. I would turn it off on old non polluted sites where I was wanting to dig everything.
G'day Merril! The item near the end 21:10, stab in the dark answer, it looks like an ornate cane grip. Cheers!
So instead of notching out so much which puts a lot of strain on the processing will limit your depth and also give you a lot of clipped signals you should set it to a three tone setting, set your first two-tone brakes to cover the range that you have notched out lower the volume and the tone pitch to where it's a low Mumble barely noticeable that way your processor can put full power into depth and processing targets vs. what you do or don't have notched. The processor of scrambling to quickly group those numbers into a range of either notched or unnotched and you'll notice by the audio that it is straining. The less you notch the better your processor will work. Used tone brakes and tone pitches to your advantage
This is what I do… it works. Agree!
Hurrah For The Deus II .... The Swiss Army Knife Of Knife Of Metal Detectors!
Merrill...we met last year behind a Taco Bell for a Honey badger...anyway, at the time I told you I notch/discrim everything out up to 80 and deus 2 just finds silver , and my ears don't have to listen to that machine gun sound of targets. Here we are , many months later and you have had the apiphany to preach the secret that was and is my favorite feature of the machine 😊.
Sound inversion! Great lesson buddy! 👍 Indian heads are great finds, good perimeter usually.
Did you get a '09 VDB ?
Thanks M. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos. Now I am dying to go out with My D2. 🕳️👨🏽🦯🌲
Merrill, as a Midwesterner, I'm proud to say my oldest coin thus far is an 1864 thinny. Wouldn't that be what you would call the opposite of a fatty? As a Minelab swinger, I do enjoy your efforts to "unlock" the Deus products for all of us. Keep up the good work!
Great video thank you. It seems the recovery speed is slower than the ‘Nox 809 but I know you are aiming deep. I hope you can dust off the Minelab products again sometime too! I am Canadian but support all North American made producta when possible. That’s an awesome idea to notch out all low signals in a park… I’m here in Thailand… digging in parks not popular with security but the beaches are fair game!
Next time Merrill, bring your AT-PRO with a 6'' inch coil should clean up, although you did do very well that day.
Thank you!
That rounded "guilded" thing to me looks just like the screw on knob that sits atop my camping lanterns. It holds the top dome on top which in turn holds the globe on that protects the lite. The hole on the one end is threaded to screw on to the skinny screw that is threaded up through the light. Being that youre in the woods...if it is, my guess is someone had a llantern in there with them while fishing & the light went out so they took it apart to try to get it to run & lost the srew on part.
Merril that y thing with the gilding is the top to a walking cane.
I really need that backpack
Interesting lesson on lowering the volume for the deeper targets. Is there a similar technique or setting that can be implemented for an Equinox 900..???
I have all three coils for my D2 but still find myself looking for a 6” coil for the noisy trashy areas. My sniper coil got s lot of use with my AT Max and Gold.
Still trying to get the hang of my D2. It’s a great machine , just need time. That big Brass piece with the Silver wash ornate design looked like a cane handle. See you soon Merril
Hey Mike! Believe me it is worth the time and practice!!! Reach out if you need anything!
9:22 is a 'tie tack' holds your neck tie to your button down shirt
Bravo sempre🎉✌🏼✌🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👁 🤓 sempre al topp programmi super e altro in piu 🥰😁😁
Audio response gets your detector to talk to you.
I found my first cent today in the UK strangly enough, dated 1951
How am I going to dig another 636 silver coins like I did in 2023 when you are giving away all my secrets :)
That is a pin back Merrill you can take the smallest side off!
Ok I got two questions. 1st what was the base mode of the hunt, maybe I missed it. Audio response of 2 would not have thought it. 2nd since you got to hang out with the Jedi masters in France. Disc of 75 vs Notch 0 - 75, is this the same? Great hunt, I am going to try level 2. Congrats on the IHP's Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
That thing that you thought might be for horses I think is the handle end of a walking stick or cane.
The copper with silver is a piece from the upper part of a walking stick.
Looks like you and your friends cleaned out Prospect of most silver.
That is a tie tack or pin back. You can turn to tighten up.
They switched to bronze in 64, so you'll get Cupronickei and bronze that year.😊
Merrill I think the gilded thing is the back of ty pin.
Why discrim and not notch? Also, what sound did you use? 3 tones, full? Nice finds!
A barrel tap maybe, spigot for a keg.
Id like to try a D2 someday,, Nice vid bud was that a 1914 D?? thats like a 100 dollar coin bud lol
Your content has been very helpful as I've decided to take up the hobby now that I have time on my hands. But which detector would you recommend for a total begginer? Many thanks from the UK.
What’s your budget?
Do you need water resistance, or waterproof?
Will you be hunting wet salt/beach often?
Going back 40 years ago, we always listened for the light signals through headphones. Of course those machines couldn't go as deep as these guys do today, but the principle was the same. Also 40 YEARS less trash and clad back then :) What are the best setting for the Simplex+? When coin shooting especially for silvers, I notch out everything below 70... Yes I miss gold, but where I go to hunt, I wouldn't expect any...
Meril do u prefer the deus over manticore I'm looking to purchase thanks bud I don't do water hunting
Cool 🫘
Spring is coming South Georgia is covered in pollen
21:10 top of a cane
Merrill with audio response @2 and disc up around 70 is there an advantage with audio filter @ 3 or higher
Great video cheers
Thank you!
That's what I want to hear, the deeper the target, the fainter the sound. Now I wish I hadn't sold the Deus II, dammit!!
I’d love to do that trick with audio response but I have crippling tinnitus and if I don’t play it loud enough I’ll miss it
The y looks like a splitter for a hose and the first thing looks like a pin bottom comes off maybe?
The copper silver looking thing I’m pretty sure cane handle
It’s the catch from the back of a pin.
Curious about something. Why not use full tones so you can tell the difference between a wheat penny and a silver dime?
Great tip on the audio response. I normally run mine at 3 but we’ll be playing with it after this . Keep digging
Two tones would be a smart choice for the low audio
I find 3 a good setting. Very good at being able to judge a deep vs shallow target with a three setting. I've also tried using 5, but will save it for an area where targets are sparse. It not only amplifies the deep targets, but also the junk.
is it better to notch them out, or just mute the numbers you don't want?
Cane topper
Interesting! Thank you for the ID.
Old cane handle one end longer than other
Try the Double Score , don't have to configure so much crap...it's a killer ,not sure how they set it up, but it's great, separates like a beast,
