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 19 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.

Glad to hear you're looking at the possibility of a smaller version. As an aged detectorist, I find it uncomfortable to hoist a large scoop of wet sand and roll it over. A smaller scoop would be a delight. I'm anxiously awaiting the rollout. Thanks.
That is a nice looking scoop, but Stainless Steel Scoop is still much heavier than those Titanium scoops out there like the Xtreme Scoops. That 3.13lbs will start to get heavy over time. I know the Titanium scoops are a lot more money, but they are worth every single penny 110%!
That’s fair enough. I have a titanium one priced.
Excellent video Merril. Your scoops look amazing and look to withstand time. Remember Price is what you pay, Value is what your receive. I hope you sell thousands of them. Thanks for sharing.
Im hoping to make about 40-60 each year. The textbook definition of a small business!
@@MetalDetectingNYC Go go go
I purchased the Honey Badger from Merrill. It is a well-constructed, heavy-duty scoop. Excellent design and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Merrill was kind enough to ship it to me priority mail, as I will be using it today. The scoop is pitched at a perfect angle for scooping and digging in the sand. Thanks again Merrill, appreciate all you do.
Beautiful looking HB Scoop! You really did a great job from Version 1 to V3. I can see the extra welds & reinforcements! I've never had my own scoop yet, used a friends but yours looks like the Pinnacle of Beach Sand Scoops! Enjoyed this presentation Merrill. Well done Sir. 👍
Thank you so much Jim’
Just ordered one! Can’t wait to get it. Thanks for offering quality at an affordable price.
Thank you so much!!!!
Go get em Merrill! :) Always follow that passion and the improving of something used in our hobby is always appreciated brother
Right on! Thank you!
This scoop looks like it takes care of a lot of common problems that I have on the beach with other sand scoops. The largemouth opening allows movement of a lot of different types of sand, so actual less time spent digging out the hole and the open top doesn't allow the sand to pack tightly in the scoop, making it easier to flip it over and dump all the sand out rather than making tightly packed sand blocks that take more effort to shake out when they get tightly packed in there, that other scoops can cause. This handle is also much sturdier than other carbon fiber sand scoop handles that I've used. Thanks for taking the time and effort to manufacture your honey badger scoop. Happy to help support you and your channel. You've done so much for so many people, including me. Thank you.
I truly appreciate your order Rob!
@@MetalDetectingNYC there is a lot of things to consider when trying to make a scoop that will work well in all different types of sand... It's not an easy task. Highly compacted sand, fluff sand, rock, shell, weight, reliability, construction and then the process of manufacturing begins which is a whole other egg in itself. I truly believe that you have worked hard to attempt something that is very difficult to attempt given that there's so many parameters and different types of sand scoops, but I believe your experience and testing process has blossomed a thorough scoop, that may function very well across the variety of types of sand. No doubt that you have put your experience into this scoop, and I know you put your heart into it... I know you're passionate about it... I know you care... Those things are easy to see. What's difficult is developing an idea into a functioning handheld object. That's quite an accomplishment. Great work. Keep it up. I'm a patented inventor and manufacturer as well. I know the path. You can't please everyone all the time, but just know that your knowledge and time spent producing this product has been appreciated. Thank you
Looks like a nearly perfect scoop for rocky beaches. Right now, I rivet a reinforcing plate to the inside nose of a scoop, but your reinforcement at the back would make it perfect!
Thank you! Yes. This is as reinforced as any scoop on the market.
Wow. Nice product. I wish there was a beach around me.
Looks great i like it and ordered one with travel shaft. Glad its made in the USA, thanks Merrill
Thanks Jon! It’s on its way!
Great looking scoop Merrill thank you for sharing.
Thank you Jimmy!
Very nice build looks great.excellent 👌 Thanks
Thanks 👍
Amazing looking design.
Ordered. Love it.
Thanks Gary!
Awesome video Merrill
Great looking scoop!
Thanks!
Pretty cool looking scoop.
Awesome scoop !
Thank you!
My boyfriend loves your channel….I kinda enjoy watching too!! I am going to order a travel honey badger for him as a birthday present…..thank you Merrill!!!
Oh my goodness! Thank you Winter!
Nice scoop Merrill. A job well done 👍😎
Thank you Ray!
Good job on the transparency and continuous improvement in your design.
Thanks Steve!
Looks nice thanks for sharing!!!!
Thank you
Looks great
Thank you!
awesome bro!
I wish I had enough opportunity to use one that would justify the cost of one, because it would be an honor to have your product in my arsenal. I'll have to just continue to support ya by watching!
Thanks brother, I am honored that you say that!
It is a good looking scoop. The new reinforcements make them better then 90 % of the scoops out there. CHOW!
Thanks Tony!
Very nice
Some models that i saw had a little flat place in the back where you can put your feet to drive it in the sand. That is nice when you detect bare feet or wearing flipflops. It would make your scoop perfect. Your scoops look strong and good, but they are a bit pricy. Keep digging..
Looks like a great scoop Merrill! If you have no choice and have a rattle on a cheaper scoop.. use a couple wraps of electrical tape before adding the scoop to the shaft.. eliminates the wobbles and lasts a long time. Jewelry catch feature is near essential for in water hunting👍
Heyup Merrill don't think I can use one of these on the fields around me but they'll be great for the beach.Im approaching the local landowner for permission to detect on their land it's called the Welbeck estate.
As far as the poles go. Take a note from Anderson….. add the solid core plug at the base so they don’t snap and add some spray foam at the top for flotation. Closed cell foam is best because it will not absorb water ! Cheers
Thank you. Great advice.
Nice Work! Whats the strength of the threads on that travel shaft? would be concerned the thread length is a bit short, causing a leverage issue? The HB scoop full of wet sand would weigh what?
Thanks
Omg I need a honey 🐝 scoop with travel shaft🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As soon as I can afford to I plan to hook up my buddies! You helped build my channel sir! In fact if you didn’t call me the Honey Badger who knows what I would have called this scoop.
You've been making metal detecting equipment and somehow I just find out lol. I've been working in a metal fab shop for over 10 years and that is definitely the best looking scoop I've ever seen
Honored!!!! I am committed to continuing to evolve it.
I didn't realize that sand scoops were that expensive!! I believe you get what you pay for.
Welcome 😊
Hi it’s jack from Baldwin the Honey Badger is a great product using it for a year. Thank you merrell
Thank you Jack!
Hello Merrill 👋 I know it's a great product.. 👍
Dude,, awesome... You know how many customers of mine i send to crappy ebay or amazon to order scoops, because we dont carry anything great..I know ill be sending them your way now!!
Honored 413! Thank you!
Хороший скуб получился! Молодец!
Only thing I can say from experience is if you make a titanium scoop make sure you add a bolt on front lip made of something stronger ! Even the Xtreme has been failing. Just Sayn.
Very cool Scoops. I wish I could buy one right now. Over time I am sure the one I have will break on me so I never know when I will need a new one.. Hope everything works out well for you .. Peace
Thank you Danny Boy!
Wonderful looking scoop, Merrill! It's obvious that a lot of thought and care went into the making of the HB. We currently are in Ohio and not in market for a beach scoop... yet... but that will definitely change later this year, once we complete our van remodel and are on the road. So, you've got one guaranteed sale from Ohio at some point this year, of that you can be certain!
I do have one question-- as space is severely limited in our van, it would be helpful to know the length of the travel shaft segments when broken down, and also the total length when fully assembled.
Keep up the great work, and a sincere "thank you" for all that you do for the detecting community!
Thank you! The shaft is 46 inches and can be broken down to 23 and 23.
I was trying to show my scoop and how I've had to reinforce it by turnbuckles its been a pain. But anyways, I watch many of your vids and and enjoy them keep up the great stuff!
Thank you!
Merrill, you should call that big dog..The Bulldozer! 😊
Lol Ralph! It moves sand like that!
Merrill" you really are going to make millions in detecting, I can see just from your vids this is THEE best scoop in exixtance, if I had the pinga i would not hesitate to buy one.
I am honored you say that but I’m going to aim for selling between 50 and 70 per year. I make about 100 per scoop and that goes out the window with any problems.
@@MetalDetectingNYC despise not the day of small things, in time it will come
@@MetalDetectingNYC Dig Beep No problem :) Love this Scoop!
shovel This basket is very helpful great 👌👍👍
Will they be for sale in UK
Merrill I dont see the new version in your store shows the old style.
Hey Merrill, would it be better to do away with the honeycomb shape holes and replace that idea with the same sized slots holes that are near the bottom, all throughout the scoop? For smaller items may escape from the top of the scoop when you first start to shake out the sand, if you see where I'm going with this, just an idea bro. With this change, it wouldn't look as pretty, but may-be more effective, and probably more work in the process. Love your channel, keep up the great work! Metal Detector NYC... signed, Greg the Egg.
There are challenges with all small holes in wet sand, shells, and pebble beaches. Large hole scoops kill it in dry sand but drive you crazy when a target falls through in the water. The combination of the large holes with a jewelry catcher (small holes) will just work for more people that do a bit of dry sand and water hunting, so they don't have to buy multiple scoops for different environments. Just my thoughts, 🤔 Happy Hunting 🧲(((💍🏜️🏝️ 🌊
Hey Greg! You want rocks and sand to leave the scoop otherwise it would slow down the operation.
How long should a scoop be for someone 5'11"
Thanks
Is there any plan to produce more of the HB3's? I am looking for a collapsable handle to go along with it, and this seems to be perfect.
Will be ready by late November early December. Thanks for the interest.
Hey Merrill I consider you a metal detector expert. Do we have to ground balance our machines.
Interesting question. Most have a setting where you can ground balance automatically and others ground balance automatically when you turn them on. Some of the intro level detectors do not have a ground balance function. Do you have to? No. But it’s like playing a guitar out of tune. You won’t get optimal performance if you don’t consider the ground.
I love my Motley at $350, she is a beast comes in different colors and wouldnt trade it for the world
You donated sandscoop lol I need one just playing but yeah it be nice have one great videos brother
XTREMEScoops!
Are the only other scoop that I would consider excellent. We can match the quality.
I tried 5 scoops already 😢
Almost every need to be changed after year and a half
Will be great if someone finds perfect formula for perfect scoop and handle 👌
Yes! I went through just as many! Mine is still going strong after a year and this is version 2 (before the reinforcements were put in).
❤❤❤
In 1849 California, it wasn't the miners who gained wrath from finding gold, it was the manufacturers and store keeps who sold the miners their wares who gained wealth... Just a bit of history...
I showed that article to my marketing class. This scoop is intended to enhance the experience of searching for metal detecting gold.
Hi Merril,
I wanna know your point of view about the gold legend from geoground please !
Isn’t scams or can be possible ?
And if possible to make a video about it please.
Thank you in advance for the feedback
You will help a lot of people with it
I’ve seen long range detectors and videos on them. One includes a guy who is wearing a wedding ring. How exactly could that work with a ring attached to a detectorist? Most places on earth would have too much interference to find a signal at a distance. I’m not a believer.
I think it would be a more well known tool if it works. Detectorists like to show their stuff. Nobody could keep their mouth shut about that if it worked. Finally, gold does not have one signature. It depends on the alloy, size and density if we are talking about VDI.
If you run out of travel shafts will you make more?
Absolutely! I wanted to see demand before making a big investment.
Fellow Long Islander here. I've narrowed it down to an AT Max or a Nokta Legend. It will be used in fields, woods and fresh water. What say you?
Legend all day
@@MetalDetectingNYC You're the expert! Thank you .
You should add a small battery operated vibrating motor just above the basket. Install batteries and a button in the pole and boom! You have the easiest, most convenient sand scoop in the world.
Not to be a PITA….but when do you expect to ship??? The new scoop is all that’s keeping me off the beach at the moment and I’m having withdrawal symptoms 😂
Shipping tomorrow I hope. Drilling the holes in the shafts today.
The stiff ribs inside are amazing. The Seams could also be polished. Of course, you can't see them. It affects beauty more.
Will your travel shaft fit into an Extreme scoop?
Im not sure. The diameter of the shaft is 1 3/8 inches. I only purchased the five that are being packaged with the HBS.
@@MetalDetectingNYC Thanks. I'll have to try to get an accurate measurement of my carbon fiber handle. I would love to be able to pack my scoop into my suitcase for my Thanksgiving trips to long Island. Your travel handle would fit that bill.
I fell a sleep... got watch it again. Lol
I’m a teacher….. we do that to people!
You guys should look into Motley digging tools for more ideas. The reinforcement on yours is definitely waaaay better but they have some nice colors and concepts. They're way too far away to order from though.
Great looking scoop 👍 but I'm just wondering if you would make the Jewelry width as shown, time stamp 3:48 up to the 9 inch mark and then make the whole bottom body the jewelry slots which would give you a more sturdy product and the way it looks like to me, once you get the Sand in the scoop and start shaking it, the jewelry could possibly still fall thru it. But if you would expand the jewelry and only have a single row of the round holes, at the very back top row and for sure The jewelery will not fall thru cause now the handle is touching the ground and I will watch the video again and another time stamp on the area that I seen.....3:53 Mark , Make this Area At least 4 inches of the jewelry notches, but still a good looking scoop but just something I seen. That would make it the Ultimate Sand Scoop for sure......👍💡👍
Thank you for the feedback. I feel that the bigger holes are needed because rocks often make the jewelry catcher pointless. If you are out in the water on a Sandy beach it is perfect. But you really need bigger holes to get the sand out. Otherwise it would retain too much material in rocky conditions.
@@MetalDetectingNYC but not everybody has Rocky Sand and I Use mine mostly in the water 💦 and need one just like I described to you cause it has Too many bigger holes and small stuff just goes thru the holes and the hand scoop that I have now it has the almost same design as yours but stuff falls out, but it doesn't have any jewelry catches . But I think it will help with the people that do more water 💦 hunting Sand than dry sand like yourself and I'm not saying the whole bottom of jewelry catches but If you look at the handle area and the time stamps and see what you was measuring is like 4" of catches but don't worry about it. I will have a shop make one or two for me from my Ideas 💡 in my neighborhood, just found out you are making them and seen an improvement to the design, and I will just have to do it myself.... Thanks
Looks great very expensive in UK 🇬🇧
The next step is figuring out the best option to ship internationally!
I want a titanium one, even if it costs more than my rent.😂😂
Lol I do too! Titanium has come down a bit. I’m hoping for prices to plummet to put in a big order.
Did you ship to Brasil?
Not yet. I am looking in to international pricing right now.
Oh my! what a bargain, only $450 bucks for a freakin scoop!!! Mine with wood handle and stainless basket, same size $125.00 few years back.
Norm, I thought the wooden shaft on my scoop would last forever, but a few years into using it it snapped right near the base of the scoop. If you hunt in wet sand it will likely happen to you too. If you choose to stay with wood I would definitely recommend bringing along a spare handle. Just sayin’.
Can't wait to own the HBS 3. I'm really tired of destroying 3 scoops per season.
This one will last. It is a tank. It would break if you put enough pressure on a still object like a pipe or a huge rock but it can handle a rocky beach.
How many travel handles do you have on hand?! I do get to hunt the islands so that is key.
@@jadefurman2840 I have enough of the handles but we are sold out of Honey Badgers right now. New batch should be complete by early December.
Looks great but It cost about the same as my Garret At Pro. Now if it had a Pro Pointer built in I can justify the cost. Not trying to be a jerk but prices are getting out of control for a shovel with holes in it.
Can you sell me one to try out
Just waiting on my wife to say OK. Then I'm buying one!
Thank you! My wife's cousin lives in Kenosha. He surprised me last night and bought one. That would be two to the great state of Wisconsin!
@@MetalDetectingNYC awesome!
I'm a cheapskate.
I picked an old stainless BBQ grill out the trash and made my own.
I used bent metal and stainless steel bolts to hold it together. It's ugly but works 🤷🏿♂️

Whats up with the price? WOW....
Not trying to sound rude, but it is hard enough to save up for a $300 detector. Thank GOD I am near no beaches. DO you have a tee shirt or stickers? SO I can show off your channel?
Hey I have an unrelated topic that we may need to discuss. With metal detecting and what I and I’m sure more have ran into . Underground power lines !!! And how many People ran into that issue.. … just a topic
I know they exist but I’ve never had and issue (or else I wouldn’t be able to answer your comment) 🤣
Underground power lines? well, if your here mentioning it You must be able to avoid them. What's Your secrete?

Well it shows up weird. Comes in at a solid 1 on the equinox
Laudable Merrill smart man creative
Thank you!
Wow! First!
Who cares?
I take my wins when I can
Not cheap
Check your warranty...You state your scoop is made from carbon fiber. Just sayin
..Love the scoop BTW.
😂 Merrill was sleepy that night! Will fix today! Thank you!
How much are they?

I can't wate to see the smaller one...
$49 is a good price .
Surely a strong plastic would be lighter ??? and far less expensive !!!
But it won’t last long.
sheesh!! $400 bucks a pop that ill take me 2 years at 3 days a week of metal detecting to financially recover
Im sorry if you feel that the price is high but I won’t go to China to manufacture. There are mediocre scoops all over the internet south of 200 dollars. I wasn’t going for that. This is what I would consider to be a perfect beach scoop. I never expect to sell in mass. This will never be my full time gig. I make less than 100 dollars per scoop in profits after everything g is shipped. My goal is to produce the highest quality scoop at a price that beats the top of the market. We did that.
@@MetalDetectingNYC IF YOU MAKE $299 PROFITS WOULD BE $0 I GUESS CHINESE BOOTLEGS WOULD BE A BEST OPTION YOU COULD SELL $99 AND MAKE $75 PROFIT AFTER EXPENSES (Ferengi VOICE)
I see rust already 😢why
It’s made of steel. Titanium doesn’t rust. It’s a product that is going to be exposed to the elements and will end up looking just like that (even if you polish it first).
