@@mikebonn8669 that would be incredible! I need to do some club visits for XP as well. Thanks Mike. Please email me at kazanjianm@gmail.com and perhaps in the fall we could make something work. I truly appreciate this.
@@MetalDetectingNYC, will you PLEASE get some "Sushi Unlocked" tshirts made and put on your website. My wife wants one, and it would sure get her out of my ass complaining that you don't have any.
Merrill, I found a copper spear head about 20 years ago while detecting in a wooded area just outside of Chicago. Gave it to the Museum of Science and Industry for their Native American display. The director told me it was from the Archaic Period, approximately around 3000 BCE. After some cleaning it was placed on display with other Native American artifacts in their collection. I love going there and seeing it on display, I felt it was the right thing to do. Keeping such a rare artifact in a private collection unseen would be a shame.
Hey, Merrill, you certainly found your calling; you are a great teacher! Even though we've been detecting for over 20 yrs., using old maps and now the new LIDAR, your video was fascinating. Love how you showed the growth of the country as well as the way you made categories and added humor. A+!!!
Merrill! I live in Colorado and I hunted down an old trail head and found a 1850 braided hair. Large scent was pretty shocked! Thanks for all of your educational videos. You’re number one I wouldn’t have found that coin without you.
Good tips Merrill. My friends think I waste too much time researching areas I want to hunt. But then they wonder why I’ve found such good finds. I must be really lucky I guess. lol A detector shop owner friend of mine went with me to an old State Fair site that had been abandoned for many years. Allot of the it had dirt streets when it first became a Fair Grounds. It was just being developed again when I got permission to hunt the site. I had found pockets full of silver coins before even telling my friend about the place. I was allowed to use whatever means necessary to dig up coins and such. My friend found what appeared to be a silver dollar under the asphalt roadway in front of the grandstands where horse racing took place. He worked for over an hour pecking at the asphalt with a screwdriver and hammer to retrieve his target. I went on and was doing well without having to need a pick. For all of his work he retrieved a very nice copper washer. He was so sure it was a coin. We laughed about it later but since he had to find out what it was. We knew there wasn’t aluminum cans back when the road was paved. It was just something you had to dig.😢 John
Great video. I've been in Qns for 20 years (I lived in Bumblef**k Valley, ND until 2004) and I've managed to ride my bike to most of the BK/QNS locations you've visited. It never occurred to me to detect. I now see the city in a new ways. (As soon as you dropped the "Quick Review of What We've Learned," I knew you were a teacher. From one teacher to another, I love the channel.)
Very good information. I live in a town that was a direct path on Wabash &Erie Canal. Indiana. My city replaced the road on the old canal bed. Wow! What a great summer I had! Large cent, silver coins, Indian head cents, heel plates, toe taps. Most were surface finds.
Awesome... I live in a later settled part of the states I've found 1852 prolly won't find much older here. Couple years ago I changed up my main method of site choosing. Rather then try to go places that no one has searched. I decided everyone was doing that and consequently these "unsearched" type of areas were very searched. So I started hitting places that people would say everyone searched or that area has been overly searched. I have done quite well detecting the places that others in the community would say everyone has allready detected.
Merrill, you hit my wheel house, History and metal detecting! History is the reason I started metal detecting. I live just off of the Old Boston Post Road and enjoy New England’s Colonial history. Thank you for another great tutorial. Love your channel too!
I just love the way you use common sense and research into the search for good and better places for metal detecting! Keeping an open mind and realizing how this country was developing as the population grew is key to good detecting areas, The learning curve never ends
Hi Merrill, I detect Farms and Beaches here in the UK. The Farms produce most of the historic finds but like you say, an efficient swing is needed and the decent finds are few and far between. Maybe 2 percent are keepers after 6 hours or more swinging and digging for most. Often in the rain or over roughly cultivated ground. The ground can be frozen, muddy or dry and hard like concrete. Even if the field is not in crop the weeds or grass can make it difficult. Even getting there can be tricky with flooding on roads and muddy farm tracks to navigate and slippery soft waterlogged fields to park on. But whatever comes we turn out because detecting is great fun and good exercise!
Copper culture is fascinating for sure! We usually find 3 or 4 pieces a year. The first one I ever found was a celt/chisel. The first thing I wondered was who would make a chisel out of Copper. I googled Copper chisel. Then I realized how it ended up under the roots of a huge old growth tree. If you ever end up in Wisconsin I'll be happy to take you out to find one.
Excellent video Merrill and you couldn’t be more correct on the subject. The way towns/cities are laid out in our modern age is vastly different than during our early agrarian times in this country. Those meandering paths and stonewalls in the woods today were busy home/farm sites 200 yrs ago. 20 years of relic hunting has taught me the lessons that you pointed out in your video. Honestly a book could be written on the subject.
Great video, Merrill! Lots of good information delivered in an entertaining way. My buddy found a copper culture spearhead while detecting a street tearout in a Minnesota city. Pretty cool to imagine that artifact predating the 1800s town that settled over it and eventually grew into a bustling city.
U R very right about that old places and trail roads U C I remodel homes new & old And been at many places with old houses churches and so on and love history U gave me more insights of where to look plus I'm into antique
Glad i found your channel. Ive been binge watching your videos. I appreciate how well you explain things and get right to the point. Also enjoy your style of humor.
Man…just wanted to say this video is just what people new to the hobby need. Wanted to say thanks for the info and time it took to make and edit this video. I indeed liked and subscribed!
Hey Merrill, it was so awesome to meet you today. I’m super pumped for an exciting weekend! Hope you’re able to get out there too and don’t have to work too hard 🙃 My husband pulls up LiDAR maps all the time for our copper culture hunting. It’s amazing what you can see! It’s been so helpful. It’s really obvious where the shoreline was thousands of years ago with that map. We print them out before we go on our adventures.
Good stuff Merrell. I use old maps as a matter of fact I drive around with the app open it shows where all the old places are and as far as random spots I almost always hit them anything with dirt is a spot for me 😎✌️🤟🖖
Just found your channel. Great info in this video, I just got my first detector. Nokta double score. It’s nuts that the kids nowadays can’t read a map. It’s not rocket science, but it is invaluable. Thanks 😊
Have fun my friend. I suggest you take a handful of potential targets a silver a copper a gold coin if u can access one. Also maybe a soda tab a bottle cap an old peice of tin. Lay the items out in your yard play with your detector. Get in tune with it know your machine. I do this every spring befor I start my hunting. When people ask me wich detectors are best I tell them it's more about knowing your detector then about wich detector you know.
@@mattmatt6572 I love this part of your comment…..knowing your detector, not which you know. Simple but true. It’s exciting, I’ve been digging up all kinda stuff around my own home, prior owner was a contractor. Not I can’t tell you how many nails and even some rebar which I didn’t expect. Right now I’m learning the tones, and how to properly create a hole and replace it with out leaving a crater. 😄 thanks for the feedback, don’t get much encouragement nowadays unless your half naked and singing rap lyrics….yikes 🤣
Good stuff Merrill! I live in southern Ohio in a small community that was founded 1801, 2 years prior to Ohio statehood. It was laid out in 1797 when the first settlers started moving in. Part of the Virginia Military District alotted to veterans of the Revolution. It lays along the main east-west route from Cincinnati to points east. I've found draped bust silver and copper, reales, and other 1700s silvers/coppers. Location is everything. Thanks for the video!
We found an old portion of Boston rd in Spencer Massachusetts that kept us busy for a year!! KGll’s came up like wheat cents, state coppers and militia buttons, it was a great time during the pandemic 😀
Awesome video Merrill. Here in Seattle , there used to be a ferry that went across Lake, Washington to Kirkland in the Early 1900s passengers would throw coins to the kids standing on the pylons

This is thee greatest place of all to do so. N.T. nor cal, ca.
Hey big guy, thanks for this video. It reminded me that we have a very popular sledding site nearby. First hunt of the year for me yielded serval coins. I also had an iffy bouncing signal 58-96 with my Deus 2. I Wasn't going to dig it but the sound was strong and sharp did and it yielded a silver ring and another gold ring in the same hole. From your Connecticut neighbor, I wish you the best with your new endeavor. Deus picked the perfect motivating Teacher/Ambassador.
I've been fallow years video and already find 2 gold rings 1 silver and a lot of coins and many others non gold jewellers..thank you for sharing with us 😊
one overlooked spot is old native american fur trading posts, they can be earlier than farms and are one of the only ways to find colonial coins in my area.
Hey Merrill I was was in Tennessee somewhere around Chattanooga where they have this Hill goes almost straight up... but anywho on my lunch break I've wondered into the back forest and notice a half barked tree and in it was musket Ball in it so I know it was a battle ground told the people who rented the house they said they're lots of old stuff back there ALOHA VA'LE'OE HAWA'N ROCK ❤
Hey Merrill it's HAWA'N ROCK again yeah about off the grid kinda thing by watching your videos I've been always known that historical places have old stuffs I remodel old houses and farms or where ever the job at when I'm at job site I always wondered what lies beneath that "ground"? ALOHA VA'LE'OE HAWA'N ROCK ❤
come on out to northern utah. i got plenty room and we can look for nuggets in northern nevada and southern idaho . look up lake bonneville and were it broke threw by my house. it had to have left tones of neat dirt and nuggets.
Been watching your channel for a while, and finally bought a Minelab Euinox 600. I live on Staten Island, and local small beaches I have been finding multiple sea shells, which I guess contain metal. Any of your videos show best settings for the 600 on a beach, maybe so I don’t find as much trash and shells? Or would I be missing other treasure if I eliminate one of the numbers?
It’s a great video you offer right here. Your very first statements ring true for me anyway. The comfort zone of the 3 places I detect are hard to break away from. Time and ambition are factors of course. But I love detecting so much and I want to get out there further. Ok off to X finds 🤣🤣
Hello. Enjoy your videos. I know its not your area; but was wondering if you could direct me on how to connect with a club in South Dakota. Thought you might know of a directory or something. Thank you in advance.
Hey Merrill! were old starter homes generally squared (front of house towards the road)? I have an 1850s starter home here in WI and the current road isn't squared to the front of the house. The rest is field.
Always check around the old well pumps. These used to be on the front porch coins would fall between the boards and be left their. I've found coins around the old well pumps. But I shouldn't tell you that I hit up wi. Also.

Ben that is INCREDIBLE! Copper Culture is the American equivalent to Roman!
Awesome thanks for donating the artifact ✌️👌
Too many museums just tag artifacts, log them in their book, and put them in a drawer. I don't give museums any thing anymore.
Wowzzza that’s super exciting, I’m happy you donated it, for history. What a cool find, happy hunting sir.

Ty merrill im gonna check it out here in florida❤❤❤ great tutorial
Have fun!
Great tips thanks for sharing!!!!!
You are welcome
From Rhode Island overhear Merrill awesome video. But anything about rhode island you could tell me about
I’m always fascinated with the ports of Rhode Island I would love to dive in those waters. But I haven’t taken the plunge in to diving yet ! 🤣
I have a pretty nice 18 foot bow rider boat. That I really wanna detect the little Islands in the Narragansett bay find some pirate treasure
Yo Merrill, u need to talk to Miss Detectorist in the UK, watched her not able to hit 6 onch targets with the Deus 2,...had me amazed
Thank you Merrill for sharing with us.
I have heard no comments about the E Track or the CTX3030. Would love to get your take on them.
Great episode
Thank you!
Merrill I like the video bit here Wisconsin For the most we have terrible Metal detecting rules most parks are off limits because of no digging
Ugh! So many farms though. But that is noted. I was in Somers in January visiting family! I Love Wisconsin!
Been watching your channel for a while, and finally bought a Minelab Euinox 600. I live on Staten Island, and local small beaches I have been finding multiple sea shells, which I guess contain metal. Any of your videos show best settings for the 600 on a beach, maybe so I don’t find as much trash and shells? Or would I be missing other treasure if I eliminate one of the numbers?
Things have been changed around and tilled up in NY for decades. Almost everywhere there is a cool search place
This is what u do best! Teach!! Good job man..
I appreciate that!
Gonna miss you at Digstock. Waited too long and was full. Tell Gin ( lucky Gin ) I said hi for me. See ya next time!
It’s a great video you offer right here. Your very first statements ring true for me anyway. The comfort zone of the 3 places I detect are hard to break away from. Time and ambition are factors of course. But I love detecting so much and I want to get out there further. Ok off to X finds 🤣🤣
Great vids thanks for all the information. Have to watch this one twice .Thanks.
Explore your world !

Hello. Enjoy your videos. I know its not your area; but was wondering if you could direct me on how to connect with a club in South Dakota. Thought you might know of a directory or something. Thank you in advance.
I just found this: www.mdhtalk.org/cf/club.cfm?st=SD

Hey Merrill! were old starter homes generally squared (front of house towards the road)? I have an 1850s starter home here in WI and the current road isn't squared to the front of the house. The rest is field.
Always check around the old well pumps. These used to be on the front porch coins would fall between the boards and be left their. I've found coins around the old well pumps. But I shouldn't tell you that I hit up wi. Also.
Awesome Content as always Thanks 👍
TIC TOC brains.... that was perfect
Its become and official tern for super short attention span! Ive heard many people use "TikTok brain" in a sentence.
I just found out you need a permit to detect in NYC parks and beaches how do you handle that?
