Have you thought about bringing a gold pan to prospect the lines of black sands? Really enjoying these videos and your sense of humor. That "Bromm" item was from a Bromo Seltzer bottle maybe? If so, it was used for headaches, stomach disorders and hangovers.
Thank you so much. That is a GREAT point. Especially considering how much has eroded. I actually own a sluice. Look for this in an upcoming video. Since you like my sense of humor, I might be the only "flake" there, but im going to try this in the future.
You are right about the bottles washing out from the landfill rather than in from the water. The cap on the fill burst years ago, and the storm tides are pulling the artifacts from the landfill out onto the beach. Definitely worth a revisit.
Man you really know your stuff! I'm going to share your channel because detectorists need to learn from you. I really love how your passion for history shines through
Past Masters I truly truly appreciate that!! I do love detecting and history but this island has a rare gravity to it.. I just go where the inspiration brings me and see what happens. New York has layers everywhere you go. Gonna keep digging and keep learning!
Merrill you should be on the History Channel this and many of your videos are great knowledge and history from your research and work. Thank you for that.
That was very interesting Merrill. Great history lesson also. Could really tell you were enjoying yourself. The article at 32:28 Is I believe an old roofing tack.
This whole area should be a good mine for pieces of history and old coins. So much still buried but you will get to it with your persistence and willingness to study..when you discover really unusual or interesting stuff it will attract major viewer interest..you will get there!
Awesome, just found out about this place yesterday and only love about 45 minutes away, going there this summer for sure. Are any areas better than others?
Just subscribed to your channel and nice to meet you! It is really tough metal detecting and the eye is a better tool to use there because of HOW MUCH metal is there. Were talking NYC's dump site for over 50 years and layers of metal there. Check out 0:52 to 3:45 the south shore is the best. The WHOLE ISLAND has history, but Dead Horse Bay is the place to be. Find on the map where it says Dead Horse Bay and that is the best location.
fyi.....see GardenersEdge wheelbarrow soil sifter......$64.99,weighs less than 10 lbs.....and you don't need a wheelbarrow.......perfect for DHB and GBB
The phallic shaped object that you wondered what it was is most likely a part from an electrical switch or some other electrical doodad. The arm part is copper and the thick piece of metal soldered to the end is pure silver. Well worth saving each thing like it that you find. The silver can be separated with a hammer and cold chisel, if not they come right off heating the part with a propane torch.
What brand detector are you using? Don’t forget that pinpointer again! ☺️ Great informative video....Got really excited when you reached Deadhorse Bay. Is the beach far from Downtown NYC? I would love to go visit there one day. Just subbed to your channel! Keep up the great work. HH and GL from Canada....🙏🏼❤️🍀🐞🇨🇦👍🏼
There is a place in Keyport Nj across the bay from Brooklyn that was called Aero marine . There is a video on you tube about it . It was a place that made the first airplanes that flew on water that operated from 1914 until 1930 . Then in the 50's it became a land fill for the area that closed in 1979 . I lived across the creek in Union Beach growing up in the 70's and would watch the garbage trucks dumping almost every day . Down the end of the street I grew up on was a field they would bring the bulk garbage to I used to have a field day going through the bulk ,finding cool old toys and other interesting things . Also there was a beach called pebble beach in Union Beach across the dump where all kinds of stuff would wash up on the shore mostly plastic dolls that was very strange . I just found out a couple days ago that there is now stuff coming up out of the ground and pouring the beach and water . All my life I wanted to go and metal detect there . My daughter even naught me a detector . But the past 2 years I have been very I'll and don't have much longer to live . I wish I could go there I'm sure there is some pretty cool stuff to find . Thw place is now a industrial park with the old dump at the back of the property that is at 55 Walnut St Keyport Nj that sits along Raritan bay and Chingarora creek . I lived a block away on Ash st .I think it's funny how they built 3 houses on the bulk garbage lot and one day seeing a guy that had put up a above ground pool . He told me he dug up a lot of crap just to put the pool up . Last year I got to see my old house I grew up in get demolished for a new home to be built , there is an old neighbor of mine that still lives there that told me last year that my old house sat on washing machines, refrigerators and a few cars . The house was built in 1960 . Now there is a new 600,000 dollar home sitting there still fresh on the market 200 Ash st union beach nj . Oh yeah the lot on the left of the house was a dumping sight also . Oh man things they used to get away with back then
Hi Merrill, You look younger clean shaven! Thanks for sharing the history! The smell makes it sound just awful!!! I would love to get some glass for jewelry making, not to mention just exploring to see what can be found.
Man I would love to come hunt there your videos are interesting the sarcasm and jokes keep it real , I plan on making a trip to go this December would like to meet im from north carolina. I'm a junky one man's trash is another's treasure, keep it up lol 😆
Hi. Love your videos!! Question- where did all that trash come from? The ocean? Or did it come from those layers in which you pointed out? I read somewhere online that it was a landfill at some point. Read also that people were told to leave their homes in that area as they were going to start construction on what is now the BQE. Any info you could provide would be great. Thank you.
Hi. Love your videos!! One day soon I would like to check out this beach!! Question- is it legal to take items from this area? I heard it is protected? That's ridiculous!!

How did I miss this? Thank you as always Brian!
Great video
Excellent analysis!
Thank you Tim. Im trying to raise my bar for this. Thank you as always!

Big buckle was an awesome find. You should edit Wikepedia!
The Lou D711 I think I’m gonna try. This video can serve as a primary source.

Awesome cup! Espresso?
The Lou D711 rust flavored!
Wow 😮 that’s a sweet find with those horse buckles. Definitely not the kinda beach to go bear foot
16:21 BMG 50 cartridge case. Germany is full of them.
Another great video again...
I have been there , and tried to find some some thing that was old . but only found 1940s stuff.
fyi.....see GardenersEdge wheelbarrow soil sifter......$64.99,weighs less than 10 lbs.....and you don't need a wheelbarrow.......perfect for DHB and GBB
Wow! What an amazing suggestion! I just googled that. You really have to go full archaeologist mode at Dead Horse Bay!
I saw luggage 🔐 and window lift get video!
hmmmm
Omg can you imagine the treasure probably buried under the airport!!
Armando's Rhumba !
Interesting to see that the padlocks appear to both have been cut with bolt cutters
Teacup is the cap for a hose.
aha! mystery solved. Thank you!
A smaller coil you need in areas like that
HH
Ancient Artifacts you are absolutely correct. Gonna invest.
I almost crossed the helipad by accident. A police man was kind and understood. We were fishing that’s why.

just a matter of time.....shovel out some bottles from that shelf,there may be some silver coins hiding there also
This place is addictive! Its my new favorite stomps! It never disappoints. Thank you Dennis!
You will hit something big as spring k k icks in!
tim mc i hope so, but I’m really enjoying the process either way. Thanks Tim!
I found a large antler on the beach over by the bridge today !
Be careful that (hopefully past tense now) is/was the contaminated section.
@@MetalDetectingNYC is that the area they said has nuclear ☢️ contamination ?

"jumper cables" look like a ground for something.
The Lou D711 noted! I always learn something in the comments! Thanks Lou!
Hi Merrill,
You look younger clean shaven!
Thanks for sharing the history!
The smell makes it sound just awful!!!
I would love to get some glass for jewelry making, not to mention just exploring to see what can be found.
I found one of them gene bottles way down here in NC only thing I could find around 1913
Man I would love to come hunt there your videos are interesting the sarcasm and jokes keep it real , I plan on making a trip to go this December would like to meet im from north carolina. I'm a junky one man's trash is another's treasure, keep it up lol 😆
that button with a stem was a lantern part.. lol
At 34:36 that's a kick down door stop. At 34:53 that a piece of fencing or railing. That's also is a shell from a .50 cal.
Hi. Love your videos!! Question- where did all that trash come from? The ocean? Or did it come from those layers in which you pointed out?

Yes it is an opened landfill that is now NYCs mudlarking spot
16:19 50 Caliber BMG shell casing
Hi. Love your videos!! One day soon I would like to check out this beach!! Question- is it legal to take items from this area? I heard it is protected? That's ridiculous!!
At 19:07 that's where I lived in the mid to late 60's.
I wonder who holds the key to that heart!🤔
8:22 is an electrical connection.
The part of a saddle looks like a brake pad.
Could the little cup be for shaving lather?
It's for an espresso or cappuccino.
15:38 ye olde shot glass lol
does anybody else feel sad for the horses? 😢
Do not rotate at v1.
That "penis" shaped item my be a latch for a door to an old walk in cooler or freezer. Looked like it to me.
