Great group hunt in the woods. I consider myself lucky to have hunted with Carlos, Jonathan, Steve, Jeff, Tracy, Rob, and other SCAVENGERS while I lived in New York. My best finds have been you guys and the friendships I have made. Keep swinging and digging Merrill!
That piece at 14:30 looks like a fitting from possibly a japanese style knife or sword, specifically the pommel, called a "Koshira". However, it doesn't appear to have any ornate patterns hammered or etched into it as they typically would have, or at least that I can see clearly but it seems there is "something" there. It's also possible it's the cap of a sheath, perhaps from an old military sword. Hard to tell tho as it seems kinda too small for a sword pommel so maybe a tanto pommel or the cap of a sheath(saya). Plus there's no vertical holes on each side for the silk wrapping to tie into. Worth considering tho! Great video!
Nice job Mr. Tones, great to see you got the band back together. Nice finds button, IHP, oil lamp,Merrill, Lou’s Silver matchbox/snuff box is cool👋👍 Was that one piece a ox knob ?
Your button looking thing is part of horse tack. I find them on farms and places where there was lots of activity pre 1900. My wife is a teacher also and putting together lesson plans is taxing.
I noticed from that monotone that you're probably in deep HC if you take deep HC and switch it into three tone put your tone break for the second tone at 78 instead of 72 this will help get rid of some of the aluminum trash and then set tone number three at 800 kilohertz or above to really sound out that high tone you'll have a much better time deciphering these good and bad targets combined with the ex-wife screen that could be a killer combo for deep hunting
Great to hear the challenge of the new job and environment has you excited and motivated! We all know... a motivated Merrill is a happy merrill... and a happy Merrill brings us great content!!
Some good finds but I like that you showcase a group hunt like this and show the comradey and friends that people can make due to this hobby. I am starting to find out myself just how great that part of the hobby is.
That XY screen would help you decipher that big old iron that high tones from actual good targets. I noticed sometimes when I'm getting a high tone on deep iron the XY screen will show me Ferris all the way now I know that those are iron targets
Merrill, your by far my favorite TH-cam creator. I’m a long time equinox user but I still learn something from your videos in all while getting a good laugh. I recently got the Deus2 also and was getting very frustrated with the learning curve but after the version .7 update and the “Mental Metal coin program’’ I have to say it’s a awesome machine! The first time I took it out with the new program I went to a school about five minutes from my house that I have pounded over the years in 90 minutes I pulled four rings a handful of nickels and a mercury dime the mental metal coin program is a must for Deus2 users in my opinion it’s a game changer. I would love to see you and Philip The Nox modify it and potentially make it even better.
Thank you for taking a look at your professional life and your teaching subjects. This group hunt is a very good thing because someone always finds something. And company is always a good thing. Saving a dog as well! Very good video, thumbs up. 🎉👍👍👍
Nice group hunt and nice intro to your buddies. You packed so much in this video, giving us a piece of your teaching life. Glad everyone found something at the woods site!
You gotta get together with Diggin Duo and see what kind of spots they have been researching. They seem to be pretty lucky :). Love you guys. Peace out. Going to hit up a local school for some clad and more. Laters. I recently changed pain meds and trying to get used to new thresholds. :)
Nice hunt......see the aerial 1954 pic of the area you were near.....there was a oval race track that was probably reached via an off shoot road from Richmond Ave..........in the 80's that area was littered with wrecked autos that were soon to be cleaned out by the Parks Dept.....also Corsons Creek which was located near Ashworth Ave on the sourther border was on the property of the Meyer farm in the early 1900's-1950's.....the farm had about 200 acres......have fun
It's always a good hunt when you have so many hunting with you, the parks tend to eliminate the feed-back from other machines, but you know that already, we have a similar fieldstone fireplace like that on top of Mt. Tom across the border into CT. It's on a well hiked Mountain Road and the local people in the neighboring towns hike it. Not sure of History of that particular part CT. Its Woodsy.
Merrill, I get it, work is (in my opinion) the most important part of a man's life. If a man does not do a good job at work, he may lose that job and then cannot support his family. Students want to learn, and if you teach to the very best of your ability, then you have done your community and your students, and the world, in fact, a great service. Metal detecting is only a hobby and comes in at best, a distant third on your priorities. I get it, I love to metal detect and today my last hole, a iffy signal, and I thought to myself, Merrill digs iffy signals if your NOX says it's deep. It was an 1918 dime about 8 inches deep. My only silver for the day, and I am happy.
A ‘persons’ life - I supported my family so my husband could raise our 4 kids. I’d love to not work nearly 30 years on, but have no choice now. Detect whenever I can.
@@CindyBushell I always thought that a women's job is never done. At work, you can finish a job, but at home, there are so many things that need attending to, there is always something. Bless you, you did what you needed to do? Are your kids grown up yet?
@@harrysurtees8710 We are a true role reversal- my hubby does all the cooking & cleaning :) So I just work the long hours. My 2 youngest are still at home (14 & 26) & the two eldest are married & I have my first grandchild. Would dearly love to retire & detect!! One day 🤞 But yes - it really has been a blessed life & I wouldn’t change a thing! ❤️
@@CindyBushell Cindy I'm glad you feel blessed. I too am blessed. I am retired and I do metal detect 4 or 5 days a week, because I can and it's what I love to do. Thanks for responding, I wish you the best. Takc care.
hi merrill, i lived in an OLD house. 1916. one day i slammed the basement door(accidentally) and heard a loud crack and then a thump. i opened it back up and there lying on the first step down was part of the doorknob. guess what it was made of? NO!! go ahead, guess. terra cotta. red clay. whoda thunk it. so, that little round orb might be a drawer pull or a cabinet door pull. some of them were filled up on the inside w/ stuff that would be gone after 100+ years in the ground. so, plaster? maybe? i havent seen it at the end yet. maybe tomorrow. dog wants fed and to go out.
Yuh bunch of Tart heads. 😂 Great video Merrill. I found my first gold ring, for the year, with the Legend using the 6 inch coil. A vintage 14k yellow gold ring , with a light pink Tourmaline stone, 6 inches deep, at an old elementary school playground. My Legend is starting to pay for itself. _/
Your "Button" looks to be more of a leather adornment with the one attachment that is left on it there would ave been another just like it across from the one that is still there.
Cool hunt with friends, the large decorative button is a George Washington, or GW if i am not mistaken..Merrill I would have it verified.. If it is, it is the holy grail of buttons.. Congrats..Thanks for sharing..
Hurricane Ian hit it and we just repaired the roof. It’s back on Airbnb now. Related to that new Honey Badger Scoops are being held up until January until all the repairs are made.
I wonder what percentage of people watching your excellent videos have to work, to pay the bills, and of coarse think about purchasing next new metal detector that comes out, 7.50am Uk time and only watched the intro and need to get back to work in 9 minutes including getting there, dam it as would love to watch it all now but will have to wait till later on today, nice to know I’m not the only one that has to cram in a lot and always looking for next available slot to get out metal detecting 😀😀

I'm a wacko from the Bronx I Live Now in Florida but I still have family out in New York Upstate and and the Staten Island man I like to meet you guys and go out there's really not much I do up in this area I got no friends that go up there nice to do what you guys do well maybe someday have you guys give me a day I'm a retire already so that means I can grab a plane and meet you guys with my niece's car LOL hey I like to meet that guy this from the Bronx so he doesn't metal detecting up in Florida
That guy didn't realize that you snatched his coin or whatever that was he was showing you he handed it to you and then you handed him the wheat penny but he handed the wheat penny back to you and you walked away and keep his 24.19

Was that one piece a ox knob ?
There should be a "what's this" app! Just take a picture and identify the item!📸
Yes!!!!
Good hunt Merrill, it's always good to get together with friends!
Yes!

Noted! Thank you for the ID and thank you to the Mrs. for educating💪!
Diggin Turtle this wacko will take your dusty ace 300😂
I consider myself warned now Mary!
You channel is hands down the best detecting channel! It is hilarious! I can't wait til the day you go full time!!
I noticed from that monotone that you're probably in deep HC if you take deep HC and switch it into three tone put your tone break for the second tone at 78 instead of 72 this will help get rid of some of the aluminum trash and then set tone number three at 800 kilohertz or above to really sound out that high tone you'll have a much better time deciphering these good and bad targets combined with the ex-wife screen that could be a killer combo for deep hunting
I will try that! Thank you!
Great hunt Bro!! It great having the guys together.., I miss you all!!!
And we miss you Rob!
Miss you 2 broski
Teachers rock. My son teaches Physics/Chem and it's a 10 hr day during the school year. Good luck. I'm amazed you can get any videos out. Thanks.
It is a huge time commitment and after that 10 hour day the planning for the next day starts!
You should make yourself a small finds display for your classroom
Great to hear the challenge of the new job and environment has you excited and motivated! We all know... a motivated Merrill is a happy merrill... and a happy Merrill brings us great content!!

Excellent indy
Nice to see a part of your life Merril, great looking classroom.
That XY screen would help you decipher that big old iron that high tones from actual good targets. I noticed sometimes when I'm getting a high tone on deep iron the XY screen will show me Ferris all the way now I know that those are iron targets
I’ve tried XY. The consensus seems to be that it is great for surface to close targets but it is unreliable deep even with zoom on
Great day with great friends and great finds! ❤
Indeed! Thank you Angela!
What did the snake ring up as?
Lol 😂
Too much fun Merrill!
Metal detecting always is Mitch! 😊
Hey Merrill, is that object at ± 21.40 not maybe a brass horse Crotal bell? (Not sure if you ID it later, or what it looks like cleaned up ...)
Merrill,
Good luck in your new job! I am happy for you! You must be a great teacher!

would it be possible for you to do a target id bible for the xp deus 1?
I have the 2 coming out and I will see if there are similarities with 1. I believe there will be.
I wish I had teachers like you growing up

14:37 in, lid to snuff box or ring?
Interesting! Thank you for the ID
Looks like a ton of fun
Very nice! 💕👵

Hi Jim thank you so much! Nice to meet you.
School sure has changed sense I was in H.S in the 1960s!
