      I’ve been wanting to go here for a while but I called the parks dept to see if it was okay after a radioactive contaminant got on the beach and they said it’s no longer safe to go there? Has anyone done any radiological readings of the area? Maybe he just didn’t want me to go down there because they’re trying to discourage people from going. Do you know about any updates regarding DHB because the official message from the parks department is it’s not safe to go there due to ☢️. I would love to go, though. Clearly, you are not deterred!

    The item (metal plate) at time line 11:37 with the different geometric shapes is a practice setting plate for learning how to set diamonds called bead and bright cutting.

    Hey Merrill, Adele and every one of you Metal Detectorist, glad to see those all too familiar and friendly faces one again! Yes, I love the coinage, but in or near the water the coins tend to take a bit of a beating, but there's nothing like the hunt, to the hunt!!! Okay gang, where are the marbles! Congrats on the finds today, you guys killed it! I love the friendly competition between Merrill and Adele, kind of like the NY Jets and the New England Patriots or may-be the NY Giants and the Dallas Cowboys. Well, anyway, I had so much fun just watching you guys, I felt like I was with you all! Mud larking is the best! I can't wait for the London mud-larking trip. Hey everyone, join this FUN CLUB channel, you'll be glad you did!!! KUDOS to Metal Detecting NYC... Greg the Egg.

    That spoon is from the 1904 World's Fair in St. Louis. It's a memento and keepsake. My grandmother went to it. It's one of the 5 percenter finds up there with silver cups.
    Doggone it, Merrill. She did it. lol
    Then she gave you two really nice coins.
    Merrill, she won with just that spoon, man. You gotta work harder. Go! Go! Go! lol
    You know I'll probably never stop watching your videos and now I got Adele's to watch after I subscribed to her because she finds better stuff than you do.

    I also heard about near RFK bridge along Brooklyn side of the East River?
    Thanks!

  • @DaveLowa

    Merrill,
    Thanks for all the great videos. I really enjoy them.
    I would like to suggest something that would be very helpful to those of us nerds who are interested in the guts of these detectors. It's almost impossible to understand the potential one machine has over another without knowing which parts are inside these things and comparing the quality of the parts themselves from one detector to another. For instance: I would almost bet that the circuit boards inside one model over another in the Minelab line have been used over and over. If the unit functions better than another in the field, what electronically makes them function better.
    Surely there must be someone with the required skills to do the evaluations needed to bring that kind of clarification to your channel. Talk about content.

    HI Merrill. Thanks for all the great videos and information. I want to go and mudlark on Deadhorse Bay, but I have seen reports about it being closed because of radioactive contamination. What is the actual situation since I see many videos like yours of people searching and collecting there. It's a long trip for me and I would like some feedback.

    • @MetalDetectingNYC
      @MetalDetectingNYC  Рік тому +1

      New York has unofficially closed it. They are no longer maintaining the paths to DHB. My friend brought a Geiger counter and observed nothing out of the ordinary. The city sent teams over last summer that have been removing the hazardous objects. Right now there is no path to get there except under the Gil Hodges bridge.

    Hey Merrill ... Love your vids and your interactions with your mad dogs. They need a good talking to so that they have a mind change in the new year. It'll be OK if they change their minds again, say about April Fools Day.
    I'm writing to ask that you do a comparison between the absolute bottom of the line, early purchase, single frequency detector in your stable, with what you would consider the current top of the line machine you own. That test garden on your property would be OK with me.
    I want to put to bed for the last time the concern that the light duty early detector that you own is really inferior to the multifrequency, high tech models of today. Something like the Bounty Hunter Quick Silver against the best in the high tech field of today. I have to see with my own eyes that there is a big difference and what those differences are between these technological poles before I finally lay my hard earned $1000 on the counter for my next circle on a stick.
