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 22 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:

Texas friend here. Your channel is very informative. After watching your videos I'm thinking about getting a nokta legend. I'm in north Texas, Arlington, so I'm not around salt water. Is the legend a good choice? Btw it's 6:38 pm and still 109f here...lol
@@thomastune776 I think it is great all around. Deus 2 and Manticore and equinox are more capable but slightly . The value is with the Legend
@MetalDetectingNYC thanks brother 🤜🤛
hello, I follow your channel carefully, I consulted your blog with quality information. I noticed the rating of the metal detectors you have, the Nexus is missing. Could you put it with the necessary information from this detector. Thank you from France continue your quality content.
I have had the Nexus Standard Mp version 1 for quite a few years now here in California. I eventually got the 9 inch Silver Scout coil for trashy areas and it does help. I found that if I put some old rusty square nails together on the ground and then turn up the discrimination until it cancels the nails out that I can actually cover a coin with the nails and the Nexus will still pick up the coin and ignore the nails. My deepest coin that I found with the stock coil was an old wheat penny that was easily over 2 feet deep and the Nexus was slamming on it. It is a detector that you have to put some time in to dial it in. At the beach I was getting a non ferrous signal and dug up a ring that was ferrous metal but gold plated, the Nexus picked up the plating. Over the years I have found a lot of coins with that detector, but like a lot of detectorist I have several different metal detectors to choose from so I don`t always use it. If Nexus ever came out with one just like the version 3 but also included the digital VDI numbers that detector would be killer.
Wow! Quite the endorsement. I like the colors. I don’t believe in the numbers on any detector (beyond a basic inference).
Merrell you can go back to all the Parks you've hunted in the past and treat them as unhunted lands. What a great opportunity!
Yes! It is most definitely a different look.
Digging a 2’ hole in a park won’t draw any attention 😂
@@GreatLakes_MetalDetecting I’ll have to set up some cones!
Wear an orange vest and whenever someone approaches, pop a road flare and wave them off... 😂
A loud portable generator will also dissuade casual conversation...😂😂
The more you learn to fine tune your machine, and knowledge of it. The more it will impress. Nice work. Fun to see an analog hunt.👍
Very true! Thank you!
You’re exactly right. Treasure starts with good pulls. Interesting machine and cool how they turned the old analog meter into a color code. 🎉
Yessir!
Would love to see you go signal for signal with the Manticore to see if it flat-out misses some of these.
Kudos for your dedication Merrill, digging, digging digging can slaw in such a hard hit park!
It’s joy! I’m never deterred by the junk. In NYC it’s inevitable. 🤣
Great video. I like watching videos of detectors without screens
Thanks!!! Fantastic!!!!
Thank you too!
Awesome thanks for taking the time
In 1978, I was 10 years old, and my aunt and uncle gave me a Compass Yukon 3B…..completely analog….I learned to just dig every target. I found more gold and silver with that machine, than any of my other detectors. I currently use an 800…..but I still have every single detector I have ever bought…..😊
Me too! Guitarists have guitar collections! Detectorists love their detectors!
Awesome build guys!!
🙌 Thank you Merrill!
Your videos are not only entertaining but also very informative/helpful.
Nexus is officially on my list!
That is a headstamp from a shotgun shell. Bullets are the projectile. Shotguns fire pellets. Awesome video man!
Awesome, I'm really enjoying seeing you test this machine, very interesting buddy!!
Glad you enjoy it! More to come!
i hate to tell you i needed nearly 2 years to get at least familiar with my nexus it takes time but its really worth it :) greetings from bavaria
Thank you as always Bend!
:)@@MetalDetectingNYC
Excellent video, Merril! Thanks for sharing.👍👍👍
Many thanks!
Very reminiscent to an Arado 120B from the 1970s.... but now with cutting edge technology added.
Well done Merrill awesome video and a great looking machine doing the job really well getting them deep targets
I really like the look of it as well. I love the Color VDI
I Iove it when video makers show the detecting and not just the digging.
When that happens you can apply what you are seeing to all different detectors I think.
Thanks Merrell, better luck next time!
Nice ring by the way.
Thank you!
Awesome, I've been waiting for this one. That machine is great, I'm jealous.
Thank you Jeff! This one has been on my radar since 2020!
Hiya Merrill I just love you're videos I do find it funny that I watch metal detecting on UA-cam, uk
I enjoy Merrells videos, and value his clear straight up honest feedback and advice.
This video however knocked me to the floor. If I go by the fact he hasn't brought a comparative digital high end model with him leads me to believe this Nexus was either a freebie or promotional deal with Nexus.
I can also easily read his face that he is Not his usual true to the core self.
You let us all down Merrell 😲
Nice job Merrill 👍🤓👍
We need a head 2 head with a modern detector! It could all be chance.
that's what I said in one of the previous test-if you hit -before you dig try the other detector and see if it hits and what it reads-.
Impressive machine Merrill. I hunted from 1972-2016 with analog detectors. I have a small collection ranging from a 1954 White's Oremaster Super geiger counter. My newest analogs are all White's in perfect working condition. Last week I did a test with identical crossed nails by themselves, and another set with a quarter beneath. I tested my White's 6000 di pro, and my White's Eagle II both with nails disced out. Neither of them could pick up the quarter. Then I used my F75 with a disc of 6, it did not pick up the nails, but on the nails with the quarter it gave me an iron tone with a quick high tone a couple of times. I used my Deus I in the hot program and it did a little better than the rest. But the one that kicked but was my 1990 White's Amphibian II. I disced out the nails, and when I went over the one with the quarter it pounded the quarter out with no problem. I have a few places with lots of iron that I want to go test it at, but it needs to cool down a little first. Those hardwired headphones on it are extremely hot. I look forward to more hunts from you with the Nexus.
OMG THE OREMASTER!!!! THAT IS A HISTORIC DETECTOR!!!!!!
Thank you Merrill. I made a typo on the year of the Oremaster, it is a 1956. It is in mint condition and would probablty work if a person could find batteries for it. I sent you a friend request, and a photo of the Oremaster in a message Merrill. @@MetalDetectingNYC
I Love your channel, you're a wealth of detecting knowledge.
Thank you!
I'm very impressed. Great video. Keep up the good work. Liked.
Thank you! Cheers!
I enjoyed your hunt Merrill thank you for sharing.Good luck to you.
Thank you Jimmy!
You are welcome@@MetalDetectingNYC
You need to try it on the treasure coast here in fl keep on diggin!😊
Funny, I just ordered my V3 set up approximately two hours before your release of this video. Monetarily it’s quite a commitment. I hope it opens up new possibilities on my old “hunted out“ iron, polluted permissions.
I plan on reaching out to you from time to time as you gain more experience with this machine. I am also here in New York.
I’ve been a subscriber and watcher of your videos for a long time. Keep them coming, your videos are fun and knowledgeable.
Thanks, Andy
Sounds good Andy!
@@MetalDetectingNYC
I thought I heard you saying one of your other videos you’re going to England this year. Best of luck there. I’ve been going there for quite a few years, and will be there end of September into October. It’s an exciting place to detect, my oldest coin is a Celtic gold quarter stater. 60-50BC. Hopefully you get to find one and some Roman!!
Nicely done Merrill, i enjoyed the video. 🇺🇸
Glad you enjoyed it
Good Stuff Brother.. Keep on swinging. This Detector looks like a beast. I mean CTX3030 is a beast in its time . Thanks for these awesome Videos .. Peace
Thank you Danny Boy!
Love the old school detector!❤❤❤
Thank you Angela!
Keep the threshold a bit on the high side, and sensitivity as high as possible while stable. That's how I run a vaquero
Philip the nox uses the nox the same way, I saw him on Diggin Duo explaining to Emma how he did it with the threshold up and listening for that quite break in it.
The detector definitely speaks to you differently as seen in the video. With this thing it's more like an exploration tool than a metal detector. It's so different than what the mainstream metal detectors out there are putting in our brains. And that makes it interesting. I can see though one best be prepared to dig very deep holes.
Thanks for showing us how deep it can go! Even when you think it’s been hunted out…it never has!
I’m still working on learning the manticore lol . Thanks for sharing
Thank You ... Very Informative ...
You are welcome
Reminds me of my grandfather’s D-Tex function wise and tone wise. I don’t remember the model but I remember that the ergonomics of the machine sucked. LoL … thanks for the walk on memory lane. Thanks Merrell , a great video.
I had a D-Tex Coin King back in the day and it definitely sounded like that!
I’m glad a kept my White’s DFX. I haven’t used it much but it’s a powerful tool. 😊
Yap,I wanted one back when they first came out,but expensive,just couldn't a afford one,have fun with it,happy hunting.
Great video.
Thanks!
21:02 Steering wheel for a Mouse's WestFalia!
Found a 1 inch crusty copper coin on Vacation. 3rd target, the second was a Canadian dollar like 3 feet from it. It was on an island on the East Coast in Canada. I'm scared to clean it. I won't clean it!!! It says George, like a King George, the back is so green it's nuts! I believe it's an old large penny. super excited. It's my oldest coin, even tough i have no clue what it is yet!!! PS: Nice tan!
Lol
Nice job
It looks like a good detector
I can’t wait for you to use it at the beach 🏝️
Thank you Ocotlan Coins! In the works!
With a digital detector and its filters, you have only so many levels. For instance, you may have a specific function with a range from, lets say 0 to 6. 0 would be off, 6 maximum. What is the % you are adding or subtracting in 6 steps of the specific function? 0 = 0%(OFF), 6 = 100%. So every time you press the button to go to 1 or 2 or 3, that is a 20% change in the filter or function. 2 presses and you've increased/decreased the filter or function by 40% that's huge. With POT switches or knobs, you can pretty much utilize the entire range to your specific needs. I really enjoyed using the White TDI Beach Hunter, as you could dial it in tight or loose as you like. With digital detectors, the similarities are there, but with less precision. I am sure some of the code they write for these digital detectors offset and help, but potentiometers are the way to go. Nice vid M.
Thank you CZ Kidd!
Interesting detector and good video Merrill. The Nexus reminds me of my old analog Whites coinmaster but on steroids. An old timer showed me the ‘hunt on threshold’ mode a long time ago and it worked pretty good on mineralized soil, I see you used a similar technique here. I guess the last thing on my mind is that this seems like an excellent relics machine, where you really are looking for that deep deep iron.
Great search!!
Thank you!
@@MetalDetectingNYC yvw❤️
Looks like it performs very well. I think it would drive me nuts between the sound and the settings. Id probably give up metal detecting. I like the digital stuff more. Good video!
I get that! That is fair, it sounds like you are being followed by bees! LOL
You can make it as silent as you want,byou just got to set it up right, just like any other machine
Defiantly a detector that you will get better with more time and being able to read it ⌛
Thanks...Happy you cover so many aspects of machines....just subscribed :))
Don't know if you've noticed but there are 2 knobs for Ground Balance on that machine. GB Coarse and then below it, the GB Fine. You use the Coarse one to get it as close as you can, then the Fine knob to really dial it in. Go get 'em!
LOL yes! I figured that out when I turned the fine all the way to the end and it wasn't ground balancing. Very comfortable with digital, and a novice again at analog.
@MetalDetectingNYC Awesome! Love the sense of humor, I totally get it. Keep having fun.
Would be interesting if you had a modern detector to test on the same targets. Thanks for the video!
Fantastic
Thank you so much 😀
That Whites Ground Hawg is holding up nice for you. I still have mine as well
I love it!
Great vid love watching you learn the machine great finds hope you find a clean park to hunt in meaning low trash and iron tons of coin and rings 💍 be wating for next adventure thanks.
Thanks 👍
This gives new meaning to going underground in the Nexus culture world.Soon you might need a post hole digger.Very interesting.
I found $650 dollars worth of quarters with my Garrett metal detector in a years time, some years ago. I lived in an Apartment then, and I did my laundry free for over 2 years using the washing machines there with the quarters i found coin shooting in parks, school yards and beaches.
You need to get your buddy out there with the Manticore and compare some targets for us.
Yes!
🙏 Loving these Nexus videos Merrill - I'm really rooting for this Analog gem now matey... 💍 👊 💪
Thank you Bobby!
Hi how are you? I watched your video searching with the Nexus metal detector. It seems to me that you have to put in a lot of effort, for very little reality with great depth. I think it's better to use a new generation metal detector, For example, Minelab's Manticore detector. And with it you can choose what to dig, even to a depth. Less work, more reality, no matter what terrain conditions. Thank you so much for the videos you upload to UA-cam, they help me become a better metal detector operator. Keep uploading more videos
To really test this detector you could have also bought a detector you had already used here and when you got a target with the Nexus, run over the same target and see whether you hear it with the other detector. If so, then the targets you are finding are just targets you might not have 'missed' but just go didn't 'go over'.
You are right. But that is a lot of carrying. But yes we will do that someday.
Great for ring ,tell Lohand I said hi when dig to China 😂😂😂
That ihp pull impressed me the most. Deep and passed over many times. Maybe this should be your thorough detector and the manticore your sniper detector
That’s what I’m thinking! Like the closer in baseball!
That’s what she said at the picnic😮
You dig the cleanest holes I've ever seen!
There were a few that I messed up on but the dirt in that park hasn’t been touched so it stays in a plug. There is SO MUCH fill dirt everywhere else and it makes is very difficult to cut clean plugs!
For a while there Merrill, I was wishing I could come behind you with my Deus II. I'm thinking my Deus II has gone deeper than your new toy. I could be wrong, but I do believe no one can out-detect me when it comes to finding silver coins, and pennies of course. Love this video though and how you are a super teacher. Go Go Go Merrill.
Deus 2 is elite! I have used it in this park many times.
In the electronics world, VCO means voltage controlled oscillator.
Test it with slightly negative gb compared to perfect balance.
I like to check out gb in a half dozen spots to nail the soil type perfectly.
I feel confident that I never miss anything under the coil in am.
Thank you!
@MetalDetectingNYC
Got my ring box today.
Will start to fill it tomorrow.
The last time I looked at my silver ring collection, I was jaw dropped.
When I get my first solid gold ring, you will be the first to know.
My modded Cibola is a silver magnet but I haven't found gold because I don't search the right areas.
It's coming eventually.
I've often wondered if Analog Detectors still had some value or perhaps an advantage. I think this video answers that. This makes me want to pick up an old Tesoro and put it up against some modern detectors to see what happens.
Im sure you could tell Brian, I was blown away with the performance in iron! Our digital stuff is good....but this had such a different feel!!!!
@@MetalDetectingNYC makes you want to go back to those heavy iron sites again!!
Be neat to have your Equinox’s with you to see if it can pick any of the signals the Nexus does even though you hunted it before!
i am waiting for a video with the nexus on a beach
sounds remarkably much like an old non motion c.scope
Good video
Glad you enjoyed
@@MetalDetectingNYC i enjoy all your videos
Really interesting Merrill and def a different take on different detectors. Would love to see you swing the Manticore or the 800 nox over the same target and see if either can sniff it out using the Nexus first and then the Nox or Manticore before you dig the target. What do you think ?
That will definitely happen. Over the summer (being a teacher) im home and my detecting buddies are at work.
hahahasame thing happened to me with my nexus when i got myself a small sniping coil ;D
Awesome
Thank you!
Just found your channel and have been watching all your stuff haha. Have you ever detected at Port Aransas in Texas? I might be going up there to try out the beach and see what I can find! Little to no experience though lol
I have never been there. Rooting for you!
Reminds me of the old compass metal detector.
Fisher Gold Bug 'All-Metal' mode behaves and reacts much like this Nexus seems to. I pull some deep signals with it... It's not just for gold!
My pin pointer lacks an arrow too, such sad
You got me interested in analog detectors, I waslooking at the Fisher, I think its called the cz21
Someone in the comments on your old video told me the bounty hunter tracker iv could puck out coins in heavy foil areas, but then I realized its because it gives an iron tone to foil, so itmight miss gold
But the fisher looks like a solidmachine, I wonder if it would fare better than a digital detector in EMI areas like under wires
The question is if I want to spend 1k+ and get something other than the deus lmao
Its a fascinating new/old world!
Did you hear about the guy who dug a 12 foot deep hole before realizing it was the steel toe on his boot his detector was picking up....
That meme has been sent to me about 30 times! LOL
@@MetalDetectingNYC lol
Brilliant video and have been following.... Have you tried it side by side with a digital VLF yet? ..Just dying to know! Neil
The detector seems to have long drawn out responses. Does the colors give any accuracy to what’s in the ground???
I would say nothing (numbers, colors, etc.) on any detector gives accuracy to what is in the ground. The closest thing we have is sound.
I would like to try that machine on the fl Gold Coast the mine lab sovereign is the best I ever used for the gold coins but that one may beat it it would be interesting keep on diggin!😊
I am going to start testing it on the beach.
Apparently sometime in the past a plow took everything near the surface and put it down under!
I guess this must mean the Nexus is outdated and antiquated technology 🤔 Nice video, think there will be a few more, can't wait until you unlock Sushi with it 😁👍
Superb video
Thank you so much 😀
you've certainly had my attention sir since you published the first video talking about your interest in this machine, so I was waiting for you to get it and then go out to see it capabilities and let me tell you this: It was a very slow waiting time!! anyway, could you please tell me whether this detector is worth its price and the waiting time? also, if you were to choose between this detector and the equinox 800 (or any other SMF out there like the legend) I know they are diferrent but you have to choose
It would be interesting to lay out a grid in that park and clean it out with a conventional detector such as the Deus and then go over it again with the Nexus.
I don't know if you watch the coffee bush kid or not, but on his latest he found an 1817 schilling. He hunts with Mish sometimes.
I'd love to see this detector and an Equinox in a side by side hunt. Is that a video you'd consider making?
Hey Merrill i am in the process of binge watching your vids because i got a brand new simplex at a garage sale for 25 bucks the said he baught it searched his yard and didn't like it and it was so cheap because he lost the charging cable i guess he never heard of Amazon i got one for 20 bucks so I'm 45 dollars into the simplex with the head phones i love your vids i bet your a great teacher because you explain things very well so I'm brand new have not even dug a signal yet. But i had a question what happens if someone stumbled across your channel and tries to say that s ring you found was theirs and tells you where they lost it i believe you would return to them if they could prove it but has anyone tried to scam you by trying that lol sorry for the long comment but you have taught me allot about the simplex i spent a lot of money on it(lol) thanks
Congratulations and welcome to metal detecting! I always would ask about the engravings on the inside. If they could prove themself there the conversation starts.
Texas friend here. Your channel is very informative. After watching your videos I'm thinking about getting a nokta legend. I'm in north Texas, Arlington, so I'm not around salt water. Is the legend a good choice? Btw it's 6:38 pm and still 109f here...lol
Yes good choice/ you can’t beat the value
That Detector is the same as the White TDI Pro or the Fisher AQ They are PI Machines with disc
Hey Phil, I hope you are well! This one is induction balance. Nexus does have a pulse model too.
hey yo! great stuff! love your videos. can you check how nexus performing on gold chains, especialy small ;)
Said it before, I’ll say it again, analog is where it’s at when the soil allows.
I see what you mean! Its a very different experience!
Would this be worth getting over a manticore or deus II? I already own a legend and i love it but i want to have more options.
I think your piece sign is a clock gear! Lol
@ClickOnProfile995 who are you?
I just reported the clickonprofile guy.
Merrill lobe you man but I wish you would use the MANTICORE or another multi freq detector after the Nexus to see what it sounds like Dig On Sir !
Noted!
Merrill the first coil seems to be a concentric coil. They feel much different then the DD coils in which most if not every detector I've seen you use have. You're Whites BHID had a concentric coil. They feel different because they function much different. DD's compress the transmit/receive magnetic fields down the center. It's supposedly for better separation but an experienced hunter with a good detector can separate targets by ear with a concentric coil. The DD's IMO double tab too much and they can't pinpoint nearly as accurately as a concentric coil can. Most of my learning curve on these new machines aren't the functions in the detector it's their DD coils. Truthfully I'm personally on the fence as if they're better. On a same diameter coil the concentric always goes deeper unless the detector using it isn't equal in quality as the one with the DD. That and if the user doesn't understand it and over powers the receiving coil over the transmitting coil.
That coil you're calling the China digging coil is more of a butterfly or a (SEF) coil. That means it measures more from side to side then it does from the top to the bottom. This too is a 20+ year old coil design. I figured it out. I see what companies are doing. They're using different set ups of past adjustment features to make a current detector that's different from others that's popular today. It's like taking an older high end machine and teaching people to learn a few features at a time then others use a few different features instead of just spending the time to slow down build a modern day digital versions of the old heavyweight machines that had all these features and more but nobody ever took time to teach the customers how to use them. I'm starting to think it was because 20+ years ago detectorists who were already experienced knew what to do. They never thought it out that to a newbie their head is gonna explode be ause they paid $1,200 for a detector and can't dig a 6 inch quarter be ause it was never highlighted that if you adjust some setting you "must" adjust certain others with it equally of you basically disabled the detector. Sure it will always work no matter how bad you screw up the settings but it's not the sniping machine you spent a grand on!!!
Here's a way to think of it. If a guitar string is out of tune it sound like crap and won't perform. But maybe it's not that string out of tune it's the other that were and it was tuned in another key. Whether or not if any string isn't tunde to it's assigned note the guitar can still sound good if the other 5 strings are tuned with it and not to their normal assigned not? Factory settings tune your machine in harmony to work/sound a certain way. But now you can manually tune the machine to be higher or lower as long as each setting is in harmony with the others. Cranking up sensitivity only causes chatter unless it's balanced our with cranking up the receiving part of that equation. Or lowering the sweep and recovery speed is useless if you whip the coil fast or adversely raise the sweep and recovery speed then trying to hunt low and slow it's not gonna happen. Detectors are like a guitar. It's all got to be tuned in harmony within itself to work properly and make beautiful music 😂. When I go over silver using my favorite machine I know that sound and it's rarely off and that's a beautiful thing. Nobody ever wants to hear the call of the Sirens. You think you hear sweet music and suddenly you crash into the rocks and that's kind of like when their audio gives a solid silver sound and the smile crashes when they discover its iron falsing and it's another nail. Chalk up another victim falling to the false sounds of the Sirens lol lol lol
I just want to THANK YOU! Your comments are always fantastic! We all learn a lot from you! I am going to read this a few times and let it soak in. I Appreciate it!

I re read it being I remember writing late at night which is always a bad thing. I'm gonna have to go through and fix the grammer, typos and I don't know what I did if I erased things and messed up trying to fix it or what but when I fix it it'll be a lot easier to under stand what I was talking about. Pretty soon I'll be making short videos for Tik Tok until I make longer videos that I can put on you tube. But I don't just want to do hunts I want to do a thing where maybe each week we go over a different setting. I already thought of the few on showing how coils function that I think people would like to see to build up enough people to follow me to UA-cam. I have like 1,100 followers which isn't millions buy it's enough to go live in real time and I got those without even posting 1 pic or video lol just buy talking live to people detecting and asking to try testing something lol??? Or maybe they like my pic holding a 56 lb stripe bass I caught IDK what it was but I hit the numbers I need. Then I'm gonna be unique and hold class lol. Seriously I'm gonna either get a chalk board or large paper and explain it by how it makes the field that hits the target then how the target reacts to being hit by a magnetic field so I can show why DD's like to double tap targets and sound different if you swing left to right or right to left. Non repeatable doesn't mean it's not a good target that's a bad myth and it's easier to explain on paper and then it will make sense to some people. Hopefully to a lot. Then the difference how concentric coils do it. I still prefer concentric coils I don't like pinpoint with DD's once you open a hole I notice they go silent sometimes while pinpointing, This doesn't happen with concentric coils so I figure people would like videos drawn out so they see this mysterious electro magnet "slinky" lol. You'll get it once you see the field drawn out. Right now I'm slipping out to squeeze in a small hunt to start getting the rhythm back.
Well get there
