Mr. Merrill, Good video. It is great to see that you are not all alone. Philip the Nox makes for a great side kick. How about including Mr. Indiana Tones next time too.
I'm right there with you. I love to think about the science of sand movement and try to get better at predicting what might happen. Thanks for telling us what you're learning!
I can tell you, next member and fan already. I love metaldetection and i am bad ad the beach 🙈😂. Thanks, now maybe a can find beachfinds 😂. Playground and field is my thing 👍😁
I enjoy your videos, and despite having detected for over a decade, have learned so much about how to be a better detectors from your videos. I recommend them to lots of people :)
I’m not leaving TH-cam but I certainly am getting frustrated with their lack of pushing out content. On Tiktok i got 1000 subscribers with minimal effort.
Great finds. I hunt Va. Beach when I am not in the woods and very few targets this time of year. Thanks for another great video. Stay well and happy detecting. John
Merrill, I'm all in for 1000 likes. And when you said "I'm all in on beach detecting" my thought was, I'm benefiting because Merrill is all in, and then you say, " I think we all will benefit. That was exactly what I was thinking. Merrill, you showed me how to detect the beach, doing your "V's". It worked for me. I found a patch. Funny, I was doing V's finding good stuff, and I see my buddy walking in a straight line, along the water's edge, and he later says to me, let's go, there's nothing here. He is king in the dry sand, so who am I to say, no I don't want to leave, your not doing "V's" so your not finding good stuff? V's don't always work, but when they do, I say to myself, thank you Merrill. I didn't forget, I hit the "like button". Oh by the way, I think I heard Philip the NOX say a Coiltek will allow you to go two inched deeper, so I ordered one, and just now put it on my NOX and after watching this video, I'm headed out to see if I can find some good stuff in that park I've been detecting for years. BYE
Always love to watch your video's. Inspired me to save up and hand over for a Minelabs. Now I have to get out and hunt, as also for the first time ever they have open a Taco Bell branch here in Wellington NZ. No excuses now!! Hope you channel does well. Thanks for all your hard work!!
Hi Merrill, ' Haven't seen you in a while, can't believe you're out there in these really high freezing winds, I'm up in Dutchess County, N.Y., There is no snow on many of the house roofs because of the high winds." Its really good to see you.
I think you are definitely going to get your 1000 likes for this video! That was a nice old Toosie car, for many people that would be a bucket 🪣 list! Beautiful 18k ring, that’s one thing that seems to elude me (probably because I don’t dig a lot of junk). Just resubscribed to your channel - take care, Ro.
Hi Merrill. Nice hunt with the gold and silver finds. And all that at 20deg. F temperatures. Brrr....too cold for this old man. I hope you made it home OK with the fumes from the "Toxic Hell" (Taco Bell) food. Also, at the end of the video, I noticed your car's fuel tank was on empty. 🙀
A lot of the rain off (the rain that gets drained off the land to the surf) will almost always make the water dirty. After a rain that dirtied up the water often leaves a thick layer of very soft sand that holds water and air if the tide retracts slowly. When you walk on it it's soft and air is bubbling out from it. That is difficult to detect for a couple of reasons. 1 because it's so light targets are usually down deep unless it's lite like foil or of pieces of aluminum. So I often skip those spots and find a cut very close just above or below those spots. In the water that you can't see from the land there are channels or cuts that allows the water from waves to pull back out faster then other spots. It's also where there is a lot of undertow in the summer. Striper fisherman look for those spots because it's where bait fish gets pulled out and those sand fleas are dug up. So those fishing spots can open cuts or also leave a thick layer of silty sand from land and it might pull something from the dunes down. Those spots you'll notice more fishing lead also. Also when there's not a cut and it's thick soft damp sand VLF detectors false a lot because it's hard to maintain a good ground balance unlike a PI which doesn't care ( lol) how many minerals are in the ground. Those are your coins to do as you see fit. Have you ever tried using an ultrasonic cleaner? It is much less harsh on coins then cleaning them with a Dremel or even a tumbler. Or even a quick, very quick zap with using electrolysis will release the encrustation and sand particles then put in a ultrasonic cleaner or a tumbler. But pretty much all of the coins from the Atlantic are pitted where it's almost hard to ruin a coin cleaning it when the Atlantic already kind of ruined it. Unless it's gold there no kind of it has ruined it as a coin. I have used a Dremel on common silver coins because they're basically worth silver spot price so that isn't gonna get damaged. But congratulations on the finds I hope you keep doing well. I can just imagine how many coins and rings were lost at Coney Island aline that are surfing up that shore line. It's like Atlantic City in south Jersey or Cape May and Wildwood. 15 guys could hunt it to death and I can go out there on the end of an out going tide as a storm just passed and hit a cut that seems like it's new virgin ground. Then 2 days later it's buried, pulled out further or it's pushed up the shoreline. It might be gone at that moment but some point it time it'll roll (ring) or surf (coin) up on the beach somewhere else for a brief moment unless one of us detectorists nail it. Sometimes you can see coins on top surfing back towards the water with your eyes. My dad showed me this and he taught me when to look for this. It happens mostly when the tide is pulling out and dragging sand but a strong Noreaster wind is blowing the top of the ways up that creates a hydroplane type of a situation on coins. Mostly nickels, quarters & the occasional half. He first took me to point pleasant beach in 1979 when detectors were very primitive. When we walked over the dunes there was a lady with a kids toy beach pale running around snatching them like crazy. No BS she had about an inch thick of black crusty coins with a couple newer ones. She beat us out there that morning and somehow also knew about this and she didn't have a detector. We still wound up with more then 20 silvers that detector saw and she didn't. Back then that detector didn't go very deep in salty sand either. I found my first gold ring that day at 16 years old and I became a treasure hunter for life that day. It was a 1941 Navy ring. My dad hunted down the person he had passed away but he located the daughter and I'd bet she still has it or maybe passed it down if she had kids. I don't have to tell you but you learn a lot about history researching a lot of finds and make friends for life when a long lost school ring finds it's way back to who lost it and gave up ever seeing it again decades ago. Good Luck hunting this year
Regarding your unknown flat thing that you think has a horse...see if it's magnetic and if it's not, I could almost guarantee you that it's a silver Spanish reale. We get them all the time down here on the Treasure Coast of Florida. If I had something like that in my scoop, you'd hear me screaming clear up there in NYC. Fingers crossed for you!
It looks like a jeep Patriot. Depending on the year, after he sets the pressure In All tires, there should be a reset button bottom left below the steering wheel or in the glove box. Just gotta turn the key to on but not running, and hold the button until the light flashes and turns out
Merrill. That penny could have been sitting out of detector range on the hard pan its entire life snuggled under a comfy sand blanket chemically eroding through electrolysis.
If the coins are of low value you might try heating them in a flame and then drop in ice cold water or oil, to get rid of the crust ( heating, not burning 😎).
Lol it's funny because much of what you mentioned in the beginning i am going through.I been hitting the NJ beaches every week on a warm...er day.Im.1 1/2 hour drive away.I have fell into the trap of " My favorite beach" and did notice a Rock formations that can be seen on low tide then i came back @ low tide i was like where are the Rocks? Obviously the ocean added sand.I thing the NYC beaches has advantages more people , history but also the wind.A wind from the south can produce more due to how the beach is situated.Intresting video....I'll ask if you can answer i appreciate....I saw when you 1st got your Nox in a video the person you were with said "use Beach 2" i find i like beach 1 .....2 seems more sensitive but with no interference i can up the sensitivity....So your opinion beach 1 or 2 matter of preference or ?
I seen a post recently of a guy ordering at the drive thru with a bullhorn and he still go what he ordered,lol. The bullhorn distorted his voice and I swear the order and answers from the employee were just like you experienced at TB.
How did you sleep? Shameful. Mom’s house is right on a beach on Bostons south shore. When I was a toddler all the sand was trucked in. Miles of it. Then one day it all washed away. Sadly almost all the rocks were hot rocks. Couldn’t discriminate them out. Very frustrating. Nor’easters here usually take a day or two to produce goodies. Good video thanks.
No way! It depends on the ring or object. If it is an old ring, it may be so rare that it is worth much more than the gold itself. So_do not_sell gold items without knowing what you sell.
Dont sell it unless you really need the money i wished id kept all my 5 years of metaldetecting gold thats what treasure hunting is all about the gold isent it ? When you opened your treasure box it looked so good with that gold in it, it wont be the same again Your mainly a beach and water hunter now trust me you will have a empty void in your box and heart really especially when you want to show it to friends or your buddies show theirs dont do it new York, really , and dont think you can find more its never the same. that much gold represents more than monetary value , you will regret it after the money is gone unless you spend the money on something or someone very very special . Trust me on this one , arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Great hunt, congrats on the ring and silver. Keep swinging and digging!
Awesome gold pick-ups! I'm laid up now, but I always hit the beaches after a storm. Well done.
Great vid. Thanks a lot. This weekend may be epic. It's beginning to look that way now where I dig sand. Snow, Gale Force winds. Oh Yea.
Definitely looked like you were getting some sunken ship cool junk.
Nearly at the 1000 likes. I added one. Hope you get there. You are doing a lot of research. We appreciate all your hard work
Really enjoyed the video 👍
Glad to hear it!
Great finds. I hunt Va. Beach when I am not in the woods and very few targets this time of year. Thanks for another great video. Stay well and happy detecting. John
Really stoked to hear about the dynamics of sand moving etc
As far as I can tell so far everything is tied in to the wind.
👍Very educational, thanks👍
Enjoyed the video
Very Awesome gold ring ( ; Makes me want to hit the beach, lol. Only choices I have is to hit the woods or beach until Spring. HH and take care ( :

I seen a post recently of a guy ordering at the drive thru with a bullhorn and he still go what he ordered,lol. The bullhorn distorted his voice and I swear the order and answers from the employee were just like you experienced at TB.
What is the temp in sea and air? Cheers from Norway
For this video just below freezing. Right now in NYC it is a LOT colder!

Thanks for a very interesting video. I also have a similar video on my channel where I dig on the beach and in the forests
Thank you!
there's a warning light on you car dashboard.
10K becomes very brittle after being in Salt water for long period of time, If you drop them they will shatter.
Merrill brother calm down on the dremeling ,use your ugly box or tumbler. Your runeing your beautiful crusted coins,
Merrill what if that coin transports you back to 1850? ...you could then find coins lost a century previous!

Liked and subbed from the UK Merrill. How do you like the 15" coiltek now that its been a while.

The best way to sell the gold is to take it to a place that melts it down
Thank you!
No way! It depends on the ring or object. If it is an old ring, it may be so rare that it is worth much more than the gold itself. So_do not_sell gold items without knowing what you sell.
Congrats on the gold first year for Indian head cent is 1859 👍
How did some TH-camrs already get the deus 2 to test out? Just curious why you didn’t get the offer also
Price
I would sell piece by piece go to the diamond district in Manhattan. Ask each store what they would give you.
Thank you!
Take it to a large downtown jewelry store.
Dont sell it unless you really need the money i wished id kept all my 5 years of metaldetecting gold thats what treasure hunting is all about the gold isent it ? When you opened your treasure box it looked so good with that gold in it, it wont be the same again
Your mainly a beach and water hunter now trust me you will have a empty void in your box and heart really especially when you want to show it to friends or your buddies show theirs dont do it new York, really , and dont think you can find more its never the same. that much gold represents more than monetary value , you will regret it after the money is gone unless you spend the money on something or someone very very special . Trust me on this one , arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I suppose you're right, buddy, but Marrill has to make up her own mind. Greetings from Poland!
