Metal Detecting GHOST TOWN In NYC (Arverne East) & Dead Horse Bay
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- Arverne East is an area within New York City in the Far Rockaway section of the Borough of Queens. This area was once densely populated with beach bungalows and hotels, but has fallen in to urban decay. It is an area of undeveloped, neglected beachfront land that spans from Beach 32nd Street to Beach 56th Street. And I quote from the Rockaway Youth Task Force website, “the land has a storied past and an uncertain future. What was once a popular summertime destination and home to many year-round residents, has now become a visual reminder of what could have been. The stretch of land was developed in the late 1800s and catered to the beachgoing summer crowd. However, many neighborhood hotels burned down between the turn of the century and the mid-1900s, causing the area to fall into disarray. This area was bulldozed in the 1960’s and there has been a half century long argument as to what to do with the land. Found a 1908 Barber Half Dollar.
It is a ghost town because you can see visible reminders of the past in plain view. Fire hydrants and street signs are intact. But the roads have eroded are filled with super sized potholes which New Yorkers call “Moon Craters”. Nature has taken back the land.

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.

My most important series is called Becoming A Millionaire Metal Detecting. I am trying to monetize my favorite hobby in order to do it more in the future. In other words, we put the clad we find in the ground, affiliate earnings, and merchandise earnings in to the stock market and we invest it. This show started in January 2019.

What is the LARGEST coin that you ever found? In size or monetary value?
A 10 pesos Gold Coin is most valuable but most historical is a 8 reales From Guatemala find in the caribean.
Gatinhitoluz I have been to Guatemala. Mi esposas madre es de Guatemala. That was before I owned a metal detector though. Next time i visit Guatemala I will bring it.
By Richmond town Staten Island NYC I found a 1880 Queens head silver dollar and a France World fair 1889 coin
@@Tom-ds1kc Wow! That was quite the day! Its great to meet another local detectorist!
1880 Morgan dollar in vancortland Park in The Bronx. But my best coin I found was a 1798 large cent in inwood Park in Manhattan. Been detecting for over 20 years.
Hey Nice Find!!! Keep serching in the area 😼
Thank you Gatinhitoluz! I will definitely be back to search there!
Congrats 👍😁👍 awesome Barber !!! Good luck .
35th State Relic hunters thank you!!!!
The round thing looks like an escutcheon (exposed plumbing pipe trim piece)
I had bought an expensive book of old NYC maps and it was practically useless. I never knew about the website you use. You perfected what I only had an idea of doing. I went to so many trashy areas worked digging like crazy and pulled out so much trash. My detector was a Pulse 8X which is really designed for U/W and hits so hard on iron deep and far. The other was an old Garret Scorpion for gold sensitivity. I never quite worked out the differentiating the tones for the metal type. My detectors do not work like that really. Still not sure what type machine would be best for NYC. My Tesoro Sand Shark I use in the Caribbean and it works great so far in and out of water on beaches. That was a great coin I am glad for you! Well done!
I cant help but feel that the investments such as the book and the detectors (I have collected a few myself) speed up the learning curve. Ive tried pulse induction machines without ID and VLF machines that tell you (very often incorrectly past certain depths) what the target is. The BIG secret is to DIG! Yes, historicaerials.com has made the research a lot easier, but very often it is about moving the trash targets out of the way. New York has been a large city for a long time. Remove the layers of trash piece by piece and use a machine (and coil) that goes deep. The good stuff is still there! Thanks JoeMoe Moe!
Congrats on a great hunt! Sweet Barber! The largest silver I found was a half dollar. I got only 2 so far. They were less popular in Canada. My most valuable is 1871 five cent, would have been 130$ but I scratched it a tad. so maybe half that now lol.
Wow! That is a gorgeous coin! www.coinsandcanada.com/coins-prices.php?coin=5-cents-1871&years=5-cents-1858-1901
Awesome barber!
Thank you as always Lou!
Congrats on the oldies and goodies.......sweet Barber..........time to do some raking and clear the top layer off the coin washout areas.......those coins,keys,bale seals are coming from the 4 foot bottle dump ridge......you're just starting to find the runoff.....well done
Thank you Dennis!
Nice job my friend
THANK YOU @skull treasure Hunter
At 34:00 that is a pin from a horse blanket. Looks like a huge safety pin when not broken
Bale seals are so cool too find. Congrats on the barber! Lots of relics too, love the skeleton key! What a fun day!
The old can from Arverne was a ring pull-tab from the 1960s. I remember them as a kid.
Next time I go, I need to get more footage. I only recorded a small amount from DHB
Remember, if you get a camera, save your receipt, it is a tax write off since you are intending on building a presence on youtube.
Why doesn’t someone buy & develop this? This is cray
Oh My Word!! One Year AGO EXACTLY to the day!! Thank you for making life in quarantine so much more interesting and inspiring!! Can't wait til lockdown ends so I can visit these amazingly fascinating places!!😊😊😊
If you could find a way to haul off the fire hydrant you showed, you could salvage it for the weight of the brass it contains. A friend of mine did that in the 1970’s and made $60.
FROM ; Corsicana Metal Detecting, TX,, great GHOST TOWN find,,
Congratulation on the barber find! If you are looking to detect at Dead horse bay for round objects old Garrett's a.d.s deep seeker 7 has a bell feacher that tells you if the object in the ground is round! Check it out. I love mine.
That looks like a awesome area to hunt !
More weirdness..William warner had a house in that area
wow!
The thing that you said looked like a big clothespin is the top of a big safetypin, used to close laundry bags, often in hotels; the coin with a K may be a Scandinavian country, I don't know which, Kroner, or Crown coin.
I love that barber..so happy for you..gotta wonder who lost that..what year is it?
1908 Barber with an "O" mint mark.....
And THANK YOU!
Nice hunt, BTW. Thanks for the video.
😎👌🏻⛏
·Detector X· thank you!!!!!!!
Metal Detecting NYC Saludos colega 😎⛏
That thing you refer to in the wrap-up "looks like a big clothes pin" looks like the end of the huge safety pins we used to close our mesh clothes bags in the military.
You should order a pizza and have it delivered to the corner of Spray view Ave. and Bay 36'th street 😂 nice finds man!
That turned into one epic hunt guys! I gotta get out there to that dead horse beach with you guys. Real fun video to watch, great finds guys!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Whhaaattt... thats sick!

silver half ounce coin, or ANY half ounce coin, is a once in lifetime find these days !!
The coin guy would love it
Huge safety pin.
Looks like door lock trims.
Thank you for the ID
