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 16 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 such as Dead Horse Bay. Think of mudlarking as metal detecting without a metal detector.

Hammered medival silver ID?
Would the book help with the Nokta Gold Kruzer?
Merrill appreciates all the videos. I’m still newbie and will be for a long time and I am good with that! With all your videos I’ve got so much content to listen to or watch in all my travels! Thank you!
Because I watched your videos, I just purchase a new Nokta Legend in Ontario ... You have inspired me so much.. I was using a bounty hunter and was excited with that... think I even found some platinum..Looks like platinum.. but after watching many of your videos.. Purchased the legend.. I am retired 68 years old and love hobbies ... you got me hooked ..and out doors too.. I want to say thank you for your passion in metal detecting .. So much to learn... and thats what I like... Cheers with wine.
You made my day!
Your about 5 months ahead of me, I had the simplex for 2 months and the legend for 1 month, also in ontario (simcoe county), I found some good stuff at the local ribfest grounds, so if you have one of those in your place of residence I suggest hitting it up
The legend is nice, but I need to update mine its running an old version of software, but I dont have a windows computer to update it,my computer runs Linux
I dont drive but I could take lynx transit across simcoe county, I plan to hit the beach at waubashene soon as the bus stops a 5 minute walk from the beach there
I also bought a off brand ebike, but I dont trust it to go to far and not run out of battery
Found anything nice with the legend since you made this post?
I have found that when the vdi is all over the chart on a particular target that I can change over to a single frequency to cross check it and usually the single frequency will tighten the vdi number down to within plus or minus 5
Wow, really appreciate you taking the time to pass down all of your detecting knowledge to us, I didn’t realize it was this complicated. Your children did a great job. 👍🏼
Thank you so much Merrill! This has been so useful for Legend owners including your other video on using all metal to not miss gold. Truly appreciate your time and passion!!
You are really good in explaining stuff in a clear easy going way without going boring .
Thanks man
Thank you so much!
Thank you Merrill. I really appreciate you and your children taking the time to put out this video. You have saved me hours of doing my own tests.

Just bought the Legend and the target ID Bible ebook as my first detector. Going to check out the world’s longest freshwater beach in my hometown of Wasaga Beach ON Canada.
Thank you for all the great videos and resources and helping me make the decision on the Legend!
Hi Merrill and kids! Great job everyone! Just starting to use my Legend and your awesome video really helps! Thanks so much!
Rex
I love your passion and enthusiasm. it's inspiring ,fascinating, and interesting information. You have helped me in selecting my first metal detector. Thank you from New Zealand ❤
You are welcome!
Purchased! Thank you for the great informative videos and all of the value you bring to the community!
Cheers from Canada!
Thank you!
Just got your book after just getting my legend. Thanks for the time you have put into all of this. I’m coming from the nox 800 and wanted some inside info. Happy hunting
Thank you for your expertise. I just ordered my Nokta Makro Legend. It will be here in Monday, Feb. 20, 2023. I an nit wait. Trying to learn all I can before I even get my machine. I have been using a White's SpectrumXLT for the last 25 years!! Got the Legend so I have a better beach machine for my trio to Florida in Sept. 2023. Thank you brother, beautiful family too!! Great kids!!
by far the best and most useful information of any channel, keep up the great videos mate, you will be the biggest channel going if you carry on doing these excellent videos for us all. much appreciated
Thank you for this! I know it was a lot of work to put this together, so big kudos to you all for doing so!
Everyone needs this . This would benefit everyone. Thanks man I no that took a while to put this together.
Son of a gun Merrill, I cant imagine how much editing you did for that video! What an excellent resource for referencing and putting things into perspective when it comes to the LEGENDS VDI SCALE. I think I feel alot better about the ever changing #s now. I don't have an EQ 800 and I hear the EQ800 does a fantastic job at eliminating bottle caps or should I say a better job at digging less crowns. If the legend is the 800s competition, then I can expect to see more improvements in the bottlecap arena, thanks again! And a special shout-out to your kids from the MiningMonkey in California.
Thank you Jerry!
This is an excellent demonstration of why you need to dig every repeatable signal,regardless of the numbers! 👍
Completely agree!
Great job Merrill I enjoyed video and thank you for sharing.
Jimmy I truly appreciate your support!
just purchased new one today...I come to you to learn.... Love your info.... Excellent knowledge///
One of the most interesting videos I've seen in a long time :)
Enjoyed watching this one! The science of conductivity & mass really morphs the mind & VDI. Your kids are awesome dad! 👍
Thank you Jim!!!
What an amazing job you did!! It's sad here in Spain we have completely different coins, but for all the rest of finds it's really useful, thank you!!
I truly truly appreciate that Javier! This was a week of non stop work to get this done.
I love your videos people and myself can learn a lot with what your saying and doing thank you from the UK 🇬🇧
Adorable! Enjoy the kids! Thank you for doing this video!
You are very welcome!
Very nicely done, I know it took lots of time and I want to thank you!!!
You’re welcome!
WOW....incredible video and I know that took alot of time! Well done.
Great video and thank you. Coming from an AT-Pro, excited to learn a new machine.
Oh I didn't see this before... so glad a found it (I do remember seeing another of your videos, that I happened upon while I was staying in NY and just got my Legend (now back in FL)). And... the timing of the ads for me... when you said "Look at this" an ad came on... hahahaha... This is just what I need. I hope that you can perhaps run out to Jones Beach or Coney Island.... and do a beach test too. Video is great, informative, not a lot of BS in between (started to watch another video doing a comparison and couldn't get past 1 minute... yours kept my attention (very hard to do with an ADD person)) , and very well thought out and put together... Yay team! I'm definitely getting the book. Thank you.
Good job Merrill and helpers. Your domain name, site, and the PDF are great ideas.
Thank you so much Fred. Videos are great for structuring lessons…. Sites can organize the entire scope and sequence.
Thank You for Your work. Lesson is to dig everything as You never know was IT rusty nail or Tiny golden ring. Thank You
Great training vid!!
Great job Merrill 👋👍
EXCELLENT!! THIS is Exactly what I was looking for
Thanks for this video this helps me alot !!!
Glad it helped!
lots of hard work on this video. nice work M!
Thank you!
Hi Merril ! I recently subscribed to your channel and already purchased the Notka Makro Legend! Thank you for this video ! I know you spent long hours recording and editing in order to help us in using the Notka Makro Legend Detector to its best capabilities and at the same time educate in all the different variations in the targets depending on its size shape, position, thickness, etc . ! Quite a lot of information that takes time to absorb and put to practice. I appreciate your effort and value your dedication ! THANK YOU !
Yes! Those videos are brutal. Somehow I have them made for 6 detectors.
Wow ! That is a lot of hours of dedication ! I just purchased and downloaded your E-Book “Notka Makro Legend Target ID Bible” for study and reference!
wow coming from the xp deus with the hf 9x5 coil the Legend sure is Different! With the xp deus coins are more consistent with the same numbers. Thank you for taken the time to show all this.
Every metal detector sends magnetic frequencies in the ground , and when it hits metals it creates eddy currents , so it measures signal timing from coil to controls , iron has a slower transfer rate than silver , gold has a slower transfer rate than higher conductive metals, when the eddy current hits a ear ring that's not a closed loop or a ring that is cracked and not a closed loop , the eddy currents gets distorted, that's why it's tricky pulling them , 360 degree scan helps, you explained alot thanks for showing the vdi's scale on the legend, very cool.
Thanks Merrill and Kids!! Much appreciated!
Awesome video man!
Thanks Merrill, just bought the pdf.
New detectorist, 71 year old veteran just outside of Chicago, bought the Legend heavily based on your comments, the concern the company has for providing a quality product and their reacting to legitimate customer concerns. I will be going detecting with a fellow 74 year old veteran so he can provide cover fire while detecting the Chicago beaches, just kidding about the cover fire, I will have body armor. OK not funny.
We are considering matching Grumpy Old Men hats and T-shirts. As a fellow Mexican Pizza aficionado I was at Taco Bell yesterday and when I asked for a Mexican Pizza I was told they would be available again May 10th 2022!!! I have learned a lot about detecting from all your past videos but the light hearted tone seems subdued lately. It’s none of my business but I hope all is well with you and yours.
Thanks for all the great info and laughs! The laughs are what separate your videos from the pack. That and you usually don’t dig holes the size of a Volkswagen to get to the target. Your helpers are also top shelf people. I did buy the target ID bible and it has also has a plethora of helpful info.
Brad Bremer
PS I can see by your "group metal detecting hunt" video, uploaded after this comment, that you guys are fine and it will only get better from here. Congrats on the shorter drive.
Bradley, EVERY word in this warmed my heart!
Vietnam?
Taco bell Mexican pizzas are soooooo good!! Happy they're back
Another great video!
Thanks for the great video.
Hardest thing for me is going from my makro racer 2, nokta fors relic, and simplex lite (1-99) scale to the legend (1-60) scale.
To start im just adding 40 to the legend to get an idea. I know its not perfect because of the programming but also like all should with a new detector to them is dig everything thays not a grunt tone and learn yourself for your soil
Thanks for an excellent, helpful video.
been detecting 32 yrs. all good here
Got my Bible. Thanks you sir!
Thank you so much!
Like your dedication to making this video. But, it also confirms to me that I will be digging every signal. Discrimination is nice, but I can't ever imagine passing over a hit because it "might" be junk. Thanks for sharing!
I highly recommend getting a coin book and learning the history behind each coin and the varities .
Purchased.. Thanks..!
Great video thank you
I know this was an older video , but thanks Merrill for the info and your time to make such an informative video ! I have had the
Ledgend for around a year now , but after watching this video , I have now decided to delete a coin program because I think I have been missing silver rings and coins, its all metal and 6 tones from now on for me , thanks again !
Should have said gold rings and coins
This is a really good video.
Merril, this shouldn’t be free! Hahah this video alone is worth so much!
It’s like when you play a video game and you watch a walk through before it happens, you already know what to listen to and look out for, and as you execute, you’re instantly ahead!
*Knowledge is money! Applied knowledge is GOLD!*
In this case potentially LITERALLY! 🤣🤣
Great Video Meryll.
Thank you so much!
Great mate just upgraded to the legend. Don't have the US coins but the gold and silver the same the world over. Great show
Thank you as always very indepth
Thanks for watching!
Good video Merril, I think I will stick with the nox for now. A good friend just got a legend though. It will be interesting to see what machine you end up using as your standard.
I am wondering the same thing. I am loving the Deus now but when I use it i miss the familiarity of the Nox.
Super helpful. Thanks! This is the detector I am using. I wonder how the Score will do on the same set of tests.
For me nickels are the wildcard. Ive had such a difference with them even with "modern" years ones as far back as tesoro disc. On the clock of the tesoro, they came in from 11 oclock all the way to 2 o'clock ish.
Havent tested whether the legend has locked them better yet lol.
Edit: glad to see yours were closer. Nice to see they locked that in
Interesting that most of the same coins ring different
Nice work great presentation 👍✨️
Good video,,,purchased the online Legend Bible,,printed it out, almost ran out of ink,,nice ending,,,keep those videos coming
I saw Tim! Thank you so much for that. It’s my first book so please let me know how you like it .
@@MetalDetectingNYC made a small guide from the numbers, going to a park on saturday , will let you know how i did,
Great video..that took a week to get done,,,thank you,,I do enjoy watching your video's,,and I don't even have a metal detector,,go figure,,
It’s perhaps a sign that you might need to fix that. When I was doing my art channel all I watched was Aquachigger. I got my first detector in 2012 and 18 more since! 😂
Hey Merrill. Great learning tools. When are going to come out with your new sand scoop.
Very soon. Mid May is the launch date.
First- this is my favorite detecting TH-cam channel. Now the question, my legend came with the 6” sniper coil. Opinions? I live outside Nashville so mostly fields around here. Will that effect these readings? Or just less coverage? Thanks!
Just dig everything
Thanks for the videos I was loving my legend until I was teaching a few friends how to get started with their new simplex so I had mine and left my legend in my truck someone broke in and took my brand new legend I maybe had 10 hrs on it
Thanks!
You’re welcome
I noticed you had two musket balls in the low range. One of them looks just like one that I found in the middle of nowhere in the northern Arizona desert. After seeing this I thought to myself aren’t musket balls made of lead? So I took a magnet to mine and it stuck like glue. Further research lead to thinking of two different possibilities, maybe it’s either a meteorite or what was called iron cannon shot. What do you think? Have you tried a magnet on yours yet? Thanks you so much for the diligent work done on your videos, it’s helped me to really understand what I’m doing at an accelerated rate. I’ll always smash the like for you. 👍🏻
The best id are my ears..
I feel the creeps. Cutest thing I’ve heard Hopefully will be my next detector thanks
Some days I dig the midtones some days not...a guy can only see so many pull tabs and can-slaw before you start to question your life choices :)
This is a very interesting and well done clip. If I get a legend I will purchase your PDF.
Question. Why have you picked the legend to do this intense experiment. Your data is impressive
I have it for four detectors now. Each time it reinforces one thing. Go by sound rather than numbers.
@@MetalDetectingNYC thank you for your time and hard work. I will be looking for your other three clips. Been watching your for a few years now. Enjoy life
I defiantly have my eyes on the Legend I currently have the Equinox 600 and I love it but I am seriously considering buying another and seriously considering getting the Legend. But if I fond enough gold this summer them I would sell and get the Deus 2 instead.
As I see it now the ceilings of the legend and equinox are close. The Deus 2 has a slightly higher ceiling.
I wanting to get a newer detector, I have a Garrett AT Max now, I’m thinking of getting either the legend or the equinox 700 could you help me out? I have watched a lot of your videos and love the all, I live in Florida and plan on using it mostly at the beach. Thank you Merle.
Great vid, thanks for it! So if higher conductivity metal (silver) dominates lower (gold) why iron (very low conductor) masks silver or gold and not the other way around?
Looking forward to a ditto for the Deus 2 😉
Did you create a custom profile for coins? Or did you use the factory settings?
Great job Merrill! I'd like to point out though, in the beginning, you said you were going to mainly test in Park mode, but I noticed all the coins were tested in Field mode. Since, according to the manual, it only mentions a difference in the VDIs between the two in lower VDI numbers, it probably doesn't make any difference.
Is yours flashed with v1.07?
Now I have 1.07 but the test went on in the earliest version.
@@MetalDetectingNYC I'd be interested to see how your detector works in a field now that you have updated the version. Mine seemed to be much quieter in the previous versions. It's now extremely chatty.
Hi Merrill, could you create a video review & test the nokta legend with the new software update rev. V1.10 please. I'm considering purchasing this unit and would value your opinion.
Hi Merrill, a friend of mine is using the mine lab vanquish and he is wondering if he could use the equinox bible for the vdi numbers, would the two be interchangeable? I myself, am using the legend. After getting the Bible for the legend, it changed the way I metal detect in a positive way. FYI the vanquish is a 540. Hoping to hear back from you. A big fan. Tony
Yes!
Does old nail ring up the same as pennies on this machine? I have problems with old nails in the yard I’m detecting. I’m very interested in this machine or the Equinox
Hi Merrill, with the New 1.11 Update has that or would that update have changed any of these VDI readings or test results?
How can I get a copy of ur Bible looks awesome 👌
The thought of not having many places detect without breaking the law is scaring me away.
It took me a while to get comfortable with a metal detector in my hands in public. But im GLAD I did. My suggestion is find a friend to go through the learning curve with you. I did it alone for a while but its better with friends. Start by asking for permission to a place that you are comfortable. Look up the local rules for permits. If all else fails wait for the winter and do the woods.
I got a screaming 32-40 that I need to dig out. No ferris bars. The ring bars are always all 5. Goldfield mode SCREAMS at me. I swung over a did gold ring and it came up the same way.
I was reading up on Minelab MF machines and they use an advanced method to get TIDs using MF. My Nox 800 easily grabs stable TIDs but my Deus1 struggles. My opinion the Nox is very good at getting stable TIDs I cannot say anything about the D2 yet but maybe TID performance is one for a video. Also my D1 menu has settings that interact with other settings but the Nox settings are independent. Nox- easy to set up complicated programs - D1 complicated to set up simple programs. The D2 has a similar menu. And I suspect I can set programs on the Nox I cannot do on the Deus machines. However I will have a another try of a D2 because we all want to have a selection of great detectors👍👍
Lol yes we do!!!
I just can’t. This guys voice and getting to the point irritates me. I’ll just learn it. Thanks. Keep the 10.00! I’ll need a beer after this. Smdh.
From my experience the VDI will vary in the soil from air test
Purchased a legend after going to your website. Also others input too. First half hour found a chunk of cast iron and a dime. Thanks for your videos.
Didn’t you find that with the Legend there is a dig difference between an object in the ground vs dug up? Or is that something they fixed?
Great topic for a video. We will dig in to that.
I just commented on another video but I want to pull the trigger on this detector the legend " new generation " I just want to be sure about the machine before I drop 600 on it
What about coins that are being MASKED by bottle caps, foil or can slaw affect the target ID? How well does the Legend handle that?
This video is a case study of just that th-cam.com/video/Ek1_rRYwLKo/w-d-xo.html
Dumb question but how to read the ebook when i buy it? Kindle work?
Merrill 🤘👍🏽🍺
Thank you so much for the support Pete!
Not for nothing, but there are many other great machine out there for the same price and more which do not have ID numbers called anolog, I love these also and have done very well for me. What are your thoughts and how do you compare these type of anolog machines to digital ones? Just saying....
A friend of mine gifted me a Minelab sovereign. The shaft broke but I am in the process of replacing it. I can’t wait to use it. I started detecting in 2012 so the comparison that I can speak of is the at-pro, Minelab Explorer era detectors versus the current ones. The difference that I see is VASTLY superior separation and moderately better depth. Having all this said I am looking to go further back in time with the Sovereign to answer that.
@@MetalDetectingNYC If I come visit Brooklyn my home town again this summer, I would like to go out on a hunt with you and your friend some time.
Great job , thanks for this. As a beginner I see it’s going to be important to dig them all. Damn the guy that buried the endless pieces of shredded aluminum all over my property lol….
Its exactly that! Keep digging!
Lazy mowers
I chortled at metal detecting calories
Link doesn’t work! How can I get a copy of the id chart ??
Are the target id's the same through all the manufacturers
Or is each company different. With that is target I'd the same
For the makers or are they different for every model ?
Thank's for your time
The rules apply for conductivity. Silver is most conductive will always be at the top and iron at the bottom. But Minelab equinox scale is from negative numbers to 40. The XP Deus is to 99. So it’s like cutting a pizza in 4 vs 8 slices
In Deus 1 you also have a NORM ID setting that shows you the same TID whatever frequency you use because, normally, you get a different TID for the same object in different frequencies
