  • Have you ever wanted to learn how to metal detect a beach? It is more difficult than land based (park) detecting. This video is my dissertation on how to metal detect beaches. You will learn every single tip and technique that I know. Over the last 2 years, I have found more than 50 rings with these techniques (many gold). It is my hope that these tips help people curious about metal detecting. This is a good video to learn how to metal detect on the beach or for how to metal detect for beginners. This video will show you how to metal detect for coins and jewelry. This video will teach you why coins sink and will give you techniques on how to retrieve the deepest of metal detecting signals on a beach.

    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 use a tip I saw on a video years ago from a guy in New Jersey I believe. I start at the highest tide wet sand mark and count the paces to the lowest tide to the waves. So example: in myrtle beach it's usually 80 paces. Split that to your center line which is 40. Now from the center you have 2 wash lines where targets drop. One is above and one below the center line. Count about 6 paces from center on either side (one toward dry sand and one toward the waves). You then will walk almost a straight line and start hitting targets. As you dig you can look back behind you and see the targets you dug are in almost a straight line behind you. I have did this since I started detecting in 2009 and it works at every beach I have been. I have detected in NC, SC, VA, Miami beach, Okinawa... I know it sounds crazy but it actually works. I have dug tons of gold and silver jewelry and coins. Try it next time you go. Good luck in your hunting!

      Hi, do you mean when you reach 6 paces from the centre line, above or below and you turn 90 degrees and then detect parallel to the sea? Cheers

    I absolutely love your videos! Great content and instruction combined with easy to understand presentation (with lots of humor) made me binge watch your channel! This was particularly a great video that has helped me already find a few rings and lots of other stuff this year on the Texas cost. We just moved to the beach permanently and your videos are some of the best out there! Other thing that (to me) helps increase your odds tremendously is developing a method to pinpoint and dig as efficiently as possible. More targets = more treasure. Getting a high quality sand scoop with carbon fiber handle like Sunspot, Extreme, etc. also makes a huge difference and allows you to dig quicker and with less effort. Thanks!

    I currently swing a XP Deus with a 9x5 coil, a Minelab Excalibur 800, and a White's TDI sl.
    When it gets hot I am metal detecting in the water with my Minelab Excalibur 800. I start out in Grannies Alley ( the first three feet of water ). That is where Mom or Grandma generally introduce their kids to the water and make sure they have Lots of suntan oil on as not to get sunburn. Then they rinse their hands off in the water and loose their Jewelry.
    Then I proceed out in deeper water a little at a time as water hunting can be a little slower until I reach my chin:)

I always thought cuts in the sand were good, but we never found anything. Now I know to search about 15 feet in front of the cut. That makes sense because the sand would wash towards the water. I also watched your video about investing your MD $$. You did a great job with this video. Thanks for teaching us more! God Bless & Happy Hunting!
