The Legend Of Dead Horse Bay & Glass Bottle Beach Brooklyn, NY

- New York has had garbage problems since before it became New York. New Amsterdam’s first sanitation department was a bunch of pigs…..And those pigs stuck around well in to New York’s early history. They were finally banned the late 1800’s and the city commissioned a sanitation department. Until that point though, New York STUNK!!!!! It was well documented that some areas were knee deep in garbage.
By the early 1900’s New York began to use its less populated southern shore as a dumping ground for its garbage. It had to go somewhere. The garbage was supposed to stay in sealed containers but by the 1950’s the seals broke and the garbage began to wash ashore.
America’s most polluted but perhaps most fascinating national park is littered with glass bottles, shoes and toys from old New York. Its called Glass Bottle Beach off of Dead Horse Bay. New York’s ghosts are out in full force. You can literally interact with the past.
This sites history dates back to the 1700’s and there is still a millstone that can be seen from Dutch New Amsterdam. In the 1800’s the area was full of glue factories where animal hides were boiled down to glue. Many of the bones and remnants from that era wash up on shore today. Right across the street from Glass bottle beach is Floyd Bennett Field, New York’s first major airport, which is now a campsite for New York residents and a training site for many of the cities municipalities.

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.

I have been uploading to UA-cam since 2008. Here is a link to my art channel. It has more than 100,000 subscribers: / youdraw
Have you ever heard of Dead Horse Bay? Have you ever been to Dead Horse Bay?
Metal Detecting NYC just went there for the first time last weekend
@@lucasramirez468 and you didnt invite us :(
Just recently saw videos from 2 different youtubers. Never heard of it before.
That rectangular piece of metal with the two holes in the middle is actually an old light control
plate. In the early electric years, you turned your lights on and off by pressing buttons. At the end of my block is a home built in about 1907, and that is where I first encountered this.
Thanks for taking us with you.

what an amazing place! as sad as it is to see the mess people can make, at least it's not plastic and so many salvageable items.
one day I'll swim across the lake and check it out😪
Wow this was different but very fun to watch. I can not believe the stuff that is just laying around there. I would be searching that area up again. Thanks for sharing. GL&HH :-)
Hi @Chocolate Cherry Coins! Nice to meet you! It really is an amazing and spiritual place. I am definitely going back! Thank you so much for watching!
The bottle opener I would say is from the brewery Ballentine. The horn button my guess is from a Plymouth. I would have to agree with you that "Mudlarking" would be the best way. You will have a nervous breakdown digging every beep! I live in Tampa but started out in Buffalo. Have a Genesee beer for me!
Cheers Lynn! Wow, thats a good connection. Ballantine was local and was huge in the early to mid 20th century. I will try opening a beer with it today. Thanks for watching!
I think you perfectly IDed it www.etsy.com/sg-en/listing/500990179/early-ballantine-ale-beer-metal-beer
In the UK they call this "mudlarking." Interesting video to watch for sure.
leenelson1950 thank you
Oh man! Thanks for this video! I'd love to spend a day collecting from this beach.. Amazing the history washing up and so sad just how much is there! Blows my mind
Thanks for the history lesson Merrill, fascinating. I'm familiar with Floyd Bennett Field, as it was where Russell Boardman and John Polando took off from on their record-setting flight to Istanbul back in 1931.
He hates me! She hates me too!!..lmao!!
The garbage is washing down from the upper part of the beach and going out. The landfill has broken wide open . I’ve been there since 1981 and watched this all unfold
90% of the garbage is from 1954 the year they caped the dump. All the old garbage is under the airport and Flatbush ave
Amazing the light bulb survived that long without breaking
YES!!!!
Great video I just tune in about 2 3 days I never knew about this place well horse beach. Well u know they change it though want to go I leave close by lo😎🤣🤣
Just to clarify Sandy brought in the bench, but the boat has been there for a LONG time.
Thanks Merrill. What a place, but sorry to see the garbage the world has left behind. Looks like a bottle collectors dream !!
Thanks for the trip,nice merc and broach......heads up ......no metal detecting allowed out there.....park rangers usually allow some ground pickups but can give you a hefty fine if they see fit.....again,just a heads up......make sure you have your NYC MD permit with you at all times
Dennis Semkow I appreciate the heads up!
Apparently when the factories shut down many people living on the islands in Jamaica bay had to leave quite suddenly.and most all of their possessions..what lift!e they were got left behind
This is true if the industry, horse bones and brushes and such. However, the land was an island before and is now connected to the mainland. When Robert Morris was building expressways and parkways, many of the people who lived on that land were brought out, their homes, which were bulldozed and thrown in a landfill in the water to connect Barren Island to the mainland in the 1930s. This was covered with soil (capped), like most landfills are. Unfortunately the landfill (cap) broke in the 1950s and everything from that time has been washing up on the beach.
Great stuff..
Thank you as always Tim!
I would screen that place like crazy.prob find lots of goodies.good luck
Its an amazing place. So much more buried!
I ment. Screen with a dirt sifter.good luck
@@franceslongo5532 got it! That is a great thought.
I grew up 5 minutes from there, in Canarsie. I live in NJ now, and I used a Safari for quite a few years too...it's one of the best detectors ever...especially on coins & silver. Found boatloads of coins and relics with it here in local parks. You seem to know your stuff, but one tip...you REALLY need to use a small coil in trashy areas like that. The little sniper coils are great. They're a bit larger than a hockey puck, and are like laser beams that can cut through the garbage. Other than that, well done, sir!
P.S. - I hunted Marine Park last year with a buddy of mine. The soil was bone dry because it was during a dry spell in the summer. Only got a merc and some wheats, and it was BRUTAL digging in the hard, dry dirt.
You really inspire me,thanks went once started not to go back! Have another plan wear better shoes for balance ,get off right bus stop going back!
Those people were looking for silver coins to spend as coins. My sister lives in Rhode Island. She got a 1916 Mercury in change, less than ten years ago.
the aviator is a convention center. as far as pilots go, nypd's aviation unit it stationed at fbf.
That bottle opener looks like the balintine ale bottle opener I have .
Now any metal you find there can be radioactive
I don't think that is a button you found. I think it is the front part of a clip on earring. Beads would have been strung on there.
Great video
That brooch zoomed out looks like a baby with a party hat in some lying-down pose
Why is picture view round? Gives me a headache
You should scuba dive in the bay
Hi Merrill, this is George of Staten Island im thinking go down there and finds some goodies.
You might want to start looking into old bottle prices. In the 1800's and early 1900's they killed horses to make fertilizer and glue.
24:55 you found an old gun handle..... also the thing with copper wire wrapped around it was an old electric motor part
devastated! You suggest metal detector for beginners! Please
Why is it called Dead Horse Island Merryl?
That light fixture is not that old.
13:20 I believe that you have a Ballantine Beer bottle opener
At 16:30 we had light switches that would be used for the missile launcher panel.
What is this about "claiming" stuff and leaving it behind?
If you don't take it, it isn't yours, is it?
Great video BTW 👍
Just think those objects probably meant a lot to the people who used them..once upon a time before real junk became the norm for most americans
(if you pick it up , its yours )and if you dont want it put it in the trash can , clean your state , this should be a law or way of liveing there
Poor NY, so much trash. Smh.
DO NOT METAL DETECT THERE- FEDERAL PROPERTY- PART OF GATEWAY NATIONAL RECREATION AREA
😳
