    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:

    Merrill, The mystery object at 9:40 is a metal wedge used to hold on an ax or hammer head onto the wooden handle. Once the ax is placed on the handle the wedge is driven into the top making it a tighter fit, more than one may be needed.

    Hi, nice video. I have a Manticore on the way. Just a head's up, Ticks... are dormant, not hibernating. The first day they can be active they do so. I found a deeply embedded tick in February 23 in Connecticut. I didn't expect that so wasn't prepared. What I normally do is soak my clothes in permetherin, dry them and then wear them and ticks will be killed but no issues to you. You can buy some clothes pre imbued with permitherin for this purpose from outfitters. Do a google to find out ratios & you won't have to worry about ticks any more. Thanks for the video!

    Finally got my hands on one 2 weeks ago and took it to a test run this weekend, when I got to the local park I realized I didn't have a pinpointer with me 😂 so I had to drive back home a get one (on my xplorer II I have the sunray probe attached to the detector) overall I think is way better than the xplorer II I just have to get used to the new numbers.
    I got a bunch of change and 2 rings and also a lot of trash that honestly I didn't have to dig but I was just digging everything to be safe.
    Cheers from California and happy hunting.

    I would also add that I have found pennies and dimes deeper than the 9 inch mark with the Deus 2. It also seems that the 9 inch coil on the Deus 2 is as deep or deeper than the Equinox 800 was in my soil with the 11 inch coil. The Deus 2 with the 11 inch coil makes me wish I would have grabbed the larger shovel some days.

  • @mrbungle1990
    @mrbungle1990 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I think the Minelab manuals are saying that 5 arrows equals 8 inches and 9 inches deep respectively on a U.S. penny sized object, NOT that the detector(s) is/are unable to find that same object deeper than 8 or 9 inches. Why then isn't there a 6th arrow you might ask? Good question. I don't know, I am not an engineer. Maybe that depth readings beyond 8 or 9 inches on that machine become inaccurate? I do admit though that after a few thousand hours on my Equinox 800 I don't think I ever found a penny or a dime any deeper than 9 inches (actually measured), so who knows, I could be wrong about this.

      Hey man, I’m not trying to be rude or obnoxious in this response. I own an AT Pro and the first videos on my channel way back in 2015 were with the AT Pro. Large objects can be pulled with an AT Pro at depths of 18 inches. Coins can not. The AT pro can pull all of the obvious signals. But in tight spaces and at depth there are much better options. Otherwise we would be seeing a lot more people swinging AT Pros in 2023z

    Question: When is enough depth enough? Perhaps if one is relic hunting depth could be important, but I'm a treasure hunter and I'm not interested in digging two feet down just to find a stink'n Lincoln or even a silver dime. If I can't find it a max depth of a foot, to me it isn't worth my time to dig deeper. For this reason, target ID to me is far more important than how deep my detector can go.

    • @MetalDetectingNYC
      @MetalDetectingNYC  ปีที่แล้ว

      I hear you. I just learn over and over again that target id can throw you off more than anything. And most often (in undisturbed dirt) the oldest coins are more often than not, deeper than newer drops.

    Hay bud I know you get alot of questions but how do you think the Tarsachi 8000 compairs to the manticor ? The Tarsachi seems to do well on the beach and it's good in iron infested sites.i have the chance to buy a Tarsachi, a manticor and and or an Aka Intronik at sim prices. What would you say would be your choice for performance and price ? My Aka Sorax pro just blasted 69 people at a rally here this week in the UK with 6 coins 4 silver and two bronze when the competition got two silver and some relics. I got around 6 relics and very little trash. So I was pleased to have come out tops with a ten year old detector this week. :)

    So I am in the market to buy a new metal detector. The whites lineup I have is starting to not perform how I want to anymore. The DFX was great for a while but now I want to move up to a newer machine. Would you recommend the manticore saving up the money for that or going with a used equinox 800. I am looking for this to be my next 10 year metal detector. Remember I’ve been only using whites detectors for 20 years. I’ve tried a equinox one time and the VDI scale seemed a little low to me with only 40 numbers. Is that something I can get used to after having 191 VDI numbers?

    • @MetalDetectingNYC
      @MetalDetectingNYC  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      If you are looking 10 years go Manticore especially since you mentioned the VDI scale. I just don't see the performance being drastically different between the Nox and Manticore. The full answer is here: www.iratemetaldetectors.com/

    @metaldetecting-losttreasures ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hey Merrill, Just to note. You keep mentioning the depth scale and that is shows more depth on the manticore. I don't believe this to be the case. All the depth scale is saying is that when you see one bar expect a coin sized object to be located at 2 inches. When you see two bars...4 inches etc. So when it shows full bars your item you are swinging will be located deeper than 8 inches on the noxes and greater than 9 inches on the manticore. This is a marketing ploy as far as I can see to simply trick folks as well as Merrill into saying hey we said more depth and our chart now shows more depth. Really this chart has no bearing on the max depth at which a coin sized item can be found with any of the machines because it does not list a maximum...it simply says greater than....8....or greater than 9 inches....What are the maximums....they don't say....Tricky buggers. And yes ....they got you.

    You own 20 detectors? You have the classic: GAS - Gear Aquisition Syndrome. You buy one, the constantly looking for something better, which becomes a vicious circle. Some synth heads also suffer from it (I have a synth, plus a Korg PA600). I almost bought a Korg Wavestate SE. It's the same price as the Manticore but pulled out at the last minute when I realised I could be developing this problem. One lad who had 15 synths, ended up needing counselling as his obsession was ruining him monetarily and mentally. What your next one, the even newer Deus Xtreme Hunter at £1369.00 or $1,719.00???

    @14:17 More times than not, when you remove the plug and the detector won't hit the target anymore in normal mode, the detectors pinpoint mode will still get it. That may be because pinpoint mode is in all metal mode and full sensitivity.

      @@baneverything5580 Live videos of the X-Terra Pro show coins reading as iron in all frequencies, air tests from other videos show its limitations of depth are approximately 11 to 12 inches even with the 12 inch coil, but for people at the beach it's still a strong contender. Using old school Whites machines I found coins from the mid-1700s at no deeper than 9 to 10 inches, so target range depth is not the most important issue for me as a Nokta Simplex and Qwest Q10 Pro user, it's that casino slot machine sound of the Minelab and serious processing delay!. Notice the sounds are heard only after the coil has passed over the target. What I love about the Nokta Simplex is the old school threshold that enables you to find the deepest targets. Nokta plans to update the frequency of the Simplex from 12 to 15 MHz which will totally destroy its depth making the Minelab the leader of the pack, so sad. Any thoughts?

  • @IdahoOrv

    Have to be honest, when I first started watching your channel, I thought you were kind of a goof. Nothing wrong with that but almost felt it was almost over the top. But the more I watch and the more you do with comparing of the detectors. I thought when I started watching that if you stuck with just one detector you might be able to find more due to sticking with one machine you can learn more all the time about it and get the most out of it. I still kind of feel that way, but that said, I do appreciate what you ha e done and the picking apart of the machines and your opinion on the value of a machine. If the Manticore has a bit more of this or that, but it doesn't knock your socks off. Then to me the same as you mentioned...why pay the extra for not that much more. To me it looks like they just wanted to compete with the same price (and look of) that of the Deus 2. I own the CTX 3030 and the Deus (the first one) and live both those machines...even if the Deus is in love with bottle caps. My first 2 times out this year have been with my 3030. Might have to go back to the same location with my Deus to see if it can sniff out anything else. Pulled 2 silver coins and a silver ring from a spot that I had hit last year and pulled 2 other silver items from. It's been a good site for me. I tell people when they ask me what is the best. I tell them they all have their place and nothing will find it all. Any new detector that operates on a different frequency than those of the past will pull even more items out of the ground. It's just the way things are. Keep up the great work.

    Great video Merrill, I definitely have some personal opinions about the Manticore. I was a diehard Minelab guy (600&800) I bought a Deus l, hated it because of the tones, bought a Deus ll because of the optional square tones and absolutely love it. Then I bought the Manticore and besides the target trace, I didn’t see a big difference over the 800, so I sold it to a buddy I hunt with and I think the Deus ll is a much more capable machine. That being said, I’ve never had the manticore on the beach but I know my Deus ll is a beast like the 800 so I stuck with my Deus ll as my go to machine and my 800 for the beach ( not a fan of the wire on the Deus ll and I lost it😔) keep the videos coming, I learn a ton about beach detecting from your channel and it pays off immediately!!

    I did a test garden in my back yard. 10 coins buried with nails in the hole with them. Some above and to the side and some below. The manticore hits all ten. Some of the vdi numbers are off but repeats. Four of the holes the nox 800 wouldn’t make a sound. This wasn’t because of depth. It was more because of the square nails in with it. I wasn’t impressed with the manticore until I did that test garden.
    Plus in your video you pulled a dime and vdi said 98. Anytime I get that it’s a nail.

    Merrill, in the barren field, what type of ground balance did you use and what search mode?
    How to increase depth:
    Recovery Speed increases depth.
    A Positive ground balance increases depth.
    Lower frequency increases depth in low to mild mineralized soils.
    How to reduce depth:
    Tracking ground balance will loose depth over soil.
    A Negative ground balance reduces depth.
    Beach mode will loose depth over soil.
    Sensitivity enhances the signal, it doesn't increase depth.
    Tks!
