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 19 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 in New York City. Think of mudlarking as metal detecting without a metal detector.

Went to make a very large purchase and it appears the NYC code no longer works at KellyCo. Not sure if they need to renew it for 2023 or not. It worked for me for the same item a few weeks ago.
👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤

Some abubakar something something replied to me using your picture. Some one is trying to use you to damage your reputation or just to deceive your viewers. He said that I won from him (You) Nocta legend.
Just in case it is you who really want to do so (and i am 99% sure not) i do not think you would ship to Poland. Cheers mate. Nice video.
@@dandragon1st He told me I'd won it as well!
I work part time in a detector/prospecting shop here in Australia. Yours is the first channel I direct customers to for in-depth, honest advice. Well done mate.
Thank you!
I'm also in Australia and just starting out, no detector yet. Came across Metal Detecting NYC and would agree that he is the best I have found. Honest, great inside knowledge and owns possibly 22 detectors. As I know virtually nothing, and now to hear you work in a detector shop and think highly of him says a great deal.
After completing my first year detecting with the Legend I will say that detecting is not the introverted hobby I thought it was. You will meet people, you will talk to people, you will need to ask strangers for permissions. I found that meeting and talking to people while detecting was one of the most enjoyable parts of the hobby. Yes, the best times were being alone on a great site, in the woods, in the fields, peaceful times, but there are the great and friendly people you meet along the way that made it really nice as well.
Two of my best friends today, I meet while asking permission to metal detect their front yard.
I agree with you about talking to people. Plus many times local I have met had clued me into places where their older neighbors used to detect that I never knew about.
👍🏻👍🏻 I’m mid aged so maybe more ppl want to talk maybe less. But certainly at beaches a lot of ppl are always curious about it and ask if I’m finding anything etc. to which I always answer not really just change. But yea a lot of ppl do want to start up a conversation.
I'm thinking of getting the Legend. As my first metal detector, is there a steep learning curve?
@TheChadinKorea No, The Legend is very easy to learn and fun to try to master. A fantastic first detector. As you learn about detecting, you will learn how to adjust the settings and learn the tones. If you can afford it it is excellent. I also recommend an xp mi6 pinpointer. Good luck!
The first metal detector I ever bought was a Garrett GTI 1500. I paid $799 for it in the summer of 1999.
By the end of the of the first year owning it, I had found about $1400 worth of stuff between coins and jewelry so the detector paid for itself.
Yes walking around with a metal detector looking like a big dork. I upped my game and strapped a gopro to my chest and one on my head. 😂
"Do it for the worms!" Ha, I love this guy.
I have been watching different videos on metal detecting and what to buy to get started. This video has been the simplest and easiest to understand. No crazy $1500 machines or long-winded explanations on functions and doodads. Just straight forward this is what you need to start having fun and see if it is for you. Thank you, Merrill!
As always, Merrill, you are a born teacher. I admire the passion, time and effort you put into your vids. I think back to the two Saturday Night Live idiots Wayne's World skits, but the words: "we're not worthy" resonate in my mind sometimes as I am blessed with your in depth tutorials!
But I'd also love to add: "Thank you for what you do. It is people like you that make this hobby rewarding....and you are a true Ambassador and born spokesman for detectorists everywhere!" God bless and thank you!
You absolutely made my day Garrett! Thank you!
Great advice. I love that you keep all your old detectors. I have owned around 25 over the years, but only have 3 or 4 now.
Fantastic video advice for beginner detectorists, honest and informative. Wish I’d seen this when look for my first detector. Side note. The vanquish 540 has wireless headphones, but you already knew that.
Mr Merell your videos are so informative to all people who like to detect and those who want to get into detecting , i always see and pay attention to all your videos, i,ve been detecting for about 20 plus yrs but still learning and listening to the pro,s like you, great video
Love you and your videos so much! I’ve been watching metal detecting vids for about 7 mos before buying my first one about 2 weeks ago. I started with the Simplex in my Amazon cart. Then the Vanquish…..but nope I went with the Legend for the exact reason you stated. Knew I was gonna get hooked (and I am!) and knew I didn’t want to upgrade immediately and I wanted to go in the ocean because that’s where I live.
You are a wealth of info! I passed your channel onto 2 newbies I met on the beach today. One was gonna get a machine so I hope she sees your video. And….you are such a nice genuine guy!
I’m done rambling now. Much love and respect!
I really enjoyed this video! You brought up a topic that I had never heard discussed anywhere, the uncomfortable (and baseless) concern of what others will think of you out there with the detector. Thanks for one of the best beginner detector videos I have seen anywhere.
Thank you
though I had some problem with sea water It also czcams.com/users/postUgkxa-FNYUOM93a388gi9a4brtSCEVmrHgJH land for finding any things very easily. (thought it would work as normal due to it being water proof within certain parts of the detector), on dry land and sand worked well. My first one, so still have lots to learn
You were our 1st Detecting channel and after watching you, you became our detecting Teacher and got us hooked. We have the Vanquish 340 and 540 and they have performed without a problem.
THANK YOU!
is there a difference between the 340 and 540 that is significant? TY!
I'm brand new to this hobby and about ready to buy my first metal detector. I really enjoyed your teaching style. Very helpful!
Hey I’m from the Caribbean where virtually no one takes up this hobby, I’m really excited to start and I’m glad I’ve found your channel, you have a great energy and disposition and you’ve earned yourself a new subscriber, thank you!
I keep a Garrett Ace 250 around for guests to use… it’s Super easy to use and it has out performed many other newer more expensive models.
I love how dependable and care free it is!
I still use my Ace 250 from time to time. Great little detector!
Thanks for the comment. The video is confusing, and I am on a budget.
Thank you for that very valuable information. Great video as always, looking forward to seeing you in the next video, much love from New Zealand
One of the best videos yet. The info has helped in determining my first detector. Thanks again!
Great to hear!
Great video. Thoughts of good advice that I wish I knew starting out a couple years ago but I’ve learned quickly and can honestly say it is my favorite hobby out of the many I have. Happy hunting and thanks for all your time in making these videos.
Great honest info and advice without the sponsor bias! I'll be watching lots of your videos.
Very helpful. Thanks for sharing this video. Yes you do learn from your videos.really appreciate you doing this.
So straight forward and honest! Great job!
Great informational video for the newbie’s. Nice work Merrill!👍👍😁💯
Great video Merrill keep up the good work.
I started with a $46 Walmart no name brand machine and it got me hooked. About 4 months later I bought a used Garrett Ace 200 and loved it. 6 months after that in November 2019, I bought the Equinox 800 and then the 6 inch coil. I don’t see the need to upgrade yet.
Dude! Your NO BS video helped me to decide on a Nokta Macro... Thank you!
Really helpful video, thanks! I am one year into this hobby and I use Vanquish 440, always on salt water beaches. I really enjoy it and find lots of good stuff. If I upgrade in the future I will go with something with wireless headphones.
Glad it was helpful!
Always enjoy watching your videos, been at this hobby for a while and just preordered the Manticore, was going to get the Deus 2 but Minelab came out with the new machine and I love the 800.
Love and appreciate your input and insight… keep up the great job and keep digging…
Great channel and yet another great video! definitely the go-to channel for me and the fellas I detect with here in the UK.
Thank you!!!
Great video, easy to follow with essential info. Thank you.
I love anyone who owns being a dork. My kind of people. Thank you ! Refreshing outlook and great advice! 💕
Absolutely one of the best videos I've ever seen very well done I'm glad you did it keep up the hard work
Thanks for this video Merle! It came at exactly the right time for me. I'm interested in getting into metal refining and metal detecting seemed like the logical place to start to build a nest egg for the equipment needed for refining as well as the scrap gold and silver I want to refine. I live in Nova Scotia and am surrounded by beaches, mostly saltwater, so I think I'm going to go with the Legend. We have no permitting here but you cannot disturb archaeological sites or objects of archaeological significance. I happen to also be an archaeologist so I think I'm good there. Thanks again for all your videos, this one especially.
“Do it for the worms” 😂🤣😂 thats a great line.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. You nailed it. The video was super informative and is making my decision on purchase price and brand one hell of a lot easier.
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Really helpful and well put together thanks for the advice. Liked and subscribed cheers mate. Jim from London
Always full of such good information! Thank you!
Excellent video with great insight for metal detectors. good job.
I've been metal detecting 49 years. Still have all seven of my metal detectors. Was thinking of an equinox to upgrade from my Etrac. You made my choice. Equinox 900 it will be. Thank you. Great videos
Clear cut comparison. Simple to understand. Helped greatly. Thanks Sir :)
great informational video bud, thanks.
Dude I love your videos and honest opinions . This was a great video I have been on the fence of equinox or legend. Thanks for the straight talk.
Picked up the simplex as my first detector. Your videos help a lot, thank you.
Best of luck! Enjoy!
Great informational Merrill !! I enjoyed your video.Thank for sharing.Good Luck to you.
Thank you Jimmy!
@@MetalDetectingNYC You are welcome.
Thank you for all the great information. You and all your videos have been a life saver for me.
You’re welcome!
I do a lot of hiking in central Texas and often come across what appears to be old home sites. I just got the wild idea to look into metal detecting.
I kindly thank you for the insight. Many thanks.
Another very informative and entertaining video thanks.. I grabbed a manticore recently after a 6 month metal detecting break, cant wait to get out and try it out, I too have owned and used over 20 detectors but most at a time was 5. Started with the White's XLT and kept trying others. This video is spot on!
I too started with an XLT back in '97 and for about 10 years metal detecting was my primary daily focus. During that time I had atleast a dozen other detectors that I put through their paces and these were the resulting impressions.
Garrett engineered machines with looks to kill but underwhelmed in performance.
Tesoro machines were precision engineered to find gold jewelry, excelling in that area.
Fisher detectors saw targets ridiculously deep but loved iron more than I did.
Overall, the White's Spectrum XLT dominated with consistency in quantity and quality finds.
Being a fellow XLT user, in comparison, how are today's machines better? How much better are they? I understand the advancement in coil technology, lighter construction material overall resulting in lighter machine weight, incorporation of blue tooth wireless headphone technology, newer faster/better microprocessor technology, and the multi-frequency technology (White's DFX introduced that a long time ago). I appreciate your input and time.
@@eddienichols209 You mentioned most of the reasons that newer technology detectors are better. I didn't stick with the XLT longer than a year, I went back and forth between the coast and nugget areas of Redding CA. I tried a DFX for a while and I liked it better than XLT. I was a little frustrated that when you turn the power off, the programs were lost on XLT and DFX and had to tune the detector again each time you power on or off. I then tried a few other brands for a little while and jumped on the VX3 bandwagon and thought I liked it but again not good to go with friends nugget hunting.. I couldn't ground balance it to save my life in Nevada.. then when I moved to the Minelab Explorer for parks and beaches I was reallly happy.. but had a Whits goldmaster, I forget the model, 2E ? I never did well as I didnt get a lot of time to test it in goldfields..Then eventually I tried the Garrett Pulse induction machine.. was expensive and that long bing-bong over a target was super annoying.. Later I graduated to a Minelab E-Trac and really liked that too.. in fact, I still miss the E-trac sounds for targets.. I could hear bottlecaps much better with the E-trac. Eventually I moved onto the Minelab Equinox 800 and loved the fact that it worked awesome in all three primary environments.. BEACH, PARK and gold prospecting.. I found my first nugget, a .4 gram nugget with an MXT and the 2 inch eliptical, forgot to mention that.. but with the EQ800 I found another nice nugget and was super happy I can have just one detector do it all.. Later I had an arm injury (can you believe it from sitting at computer at work, IT field) and sold all my detector stuff... Then I finally got ergonomic desk, chair mouse etc and I am healed up.. so I got the Manticore a few days ago.. I havent tried it more than some air testing but plan to take it to the Santa Cruz / Capitola, etc beaches and give it a try.. I started a Whites guy, experimented with others then settled on Minelab detectors as my favorite.. Does all I need plus has bells and whistles, LCD screen, Bluetooth, rechargeable.. and what I like about the Manticore is it doesnt have those cheap calculator LCD display like the EQ800 and therefore with future updates the OS and features can be radically changed if they wanted to... Thanks for the discussion
@@wbauerle I appreciate the reply, really do! I literally understand your IT woes because I entered that field in '95 with just a few years hardware and network experience under my belt. Few years later was with a software company that created what was essentially THE commercial billing and traffic scheduling system for close to 80% of every radio and tv broadcast station in the northern hemisphere. I was QA for the DOS to Windows rewrite/redistribute. Trust me when I tell you, been there, know your pain!!! Ergonomic everything is the key to longevity and as you know, the body is not designed for the repetitiveness that is part and parcel of IT. Good to hear you've mended and all is well. I'd be ever mindful of overwork because those are your Achilles' Heels til the cows come home. I have to tell you this and it's the gospel truth, XLT and DFX both allow you to create custom programs and save to memory so I'm wondering if yours needed servicing. I have 2 custom renamed programs of tweaked settings on my XLT. One has not changed for 25 years and the other I edit regularly. Water under the bridge, I know, but still, now you know. And if you had gotten a Tesoro when searching for nuggets, that would've been a game changer, maybe a life changer for you. Those machines were unparalleled for finding gold. I bought my 2nd wife a Tesoro Conquistador umax soon after I got my XLT. Didn't know if she would enjoy the hobby or after one outing tell me that I'm on my own in that respect so I didn't go all out for Tesoro's top of the line. Turned out great! Only timespan of life that my detecting partner was a woman. LOL! No joke though, she would pull gold jewelry no matter what and if one ever challenged the other competitively, I was regularly humbled, humiliated, or embarrassed at the end of day gold tally. From time to time I would make the most gold finds but not that often. I lived and breathed it daily for many years, no heresay or theysay. Seeing is believing! Well I wish you success multiplied with the Manticore and please, periodically, post a comment good bad or ugly about your finds and impressions with the machine. Inquiring minds nd all that. 'Preciate ya' my friend! Alabama Eddie
Dude! Love the videos and all the podcasts! Keep it up.
Totally enjoyable video, thanks for sharing your expertise!
I always appreciate opinions like this from guys that can't be bought
Merrill, You're alright man, and I enjoy listening to your reviews & your philosophy! 👍
Man, you deserve a lot more subs possibly up to 39. Anyway, I have had my Equinox 800 underwater many times and never had an issue. I personally think some people are too hard on their machines using them in ways they shouldn't and then go in the water and are surprised when they leak. They are tough for what they are but they are still made of plastic.
Thanks for the video!
Yes Merrill, I've been listening to you and watching you for some time now. I have been slowly absorbing all of this valuable information that you have been sharing with us, that we have been fortunate to receive from you. I appreciate all of the brain work and the physical labor that you put into each and every episode, your heck of a nice guy!!! I'm still leaning towards the tried and true, NOX 600! especially for the price and the value, I love the word, VALUE...The money is coming around a Iittle slow, but I am closing in on it like a hungry hawk on a slow rabbit. I think the NOX 600 is the King of all metal detectors for the value, as you have demonstrated time and time again. So, let me just end this commit, I'm retired now and so I well need something to do in my spare time, that's to become a Metal Detectorist...But I'll have to stay indoors and avoid the cold because of my heart condition. Sooooooooo come on spring!!! great channel, you're the BEST... Egg out!
I have had one for several years after having many Garrett's and I still use them but at this time I see no reason to upgrade my equinox 600 the 800 and 900 do a few things a little better but to me it's not worth the extra money , if I lived near the ocean then maybe.
Awesome video Merrill, thank you
Wife bought me a used Garret ACE 400 for Christmas in brand new condition. Had planned on buying the Legend before before leaving for our month in Florida, but now have to hold off. Obsessed after my first few farm and yard digs. Looks like dry sand at the beach this trip.
Awesome information. Thank you for the amazing insight, and content. Gonna borrow a detector from a friend and see if I will continue before buying.
Thank you Sir
The best video I have watched over 3 weeks of doing research BY FAR !! Me & my local worms thank you 👍
Superb as always.🙌🏼
Great video, and I thank you for sharing!
We are soon purchasing a metal detector. I subscribed and would like to say thank you. You are doing a wonderful job of your presentation and it has helped us a lot.
Thank you for your help ive just retired and looking for something to do and you have been a big help . now i need to get a metal detector . Hope to watch you vides again
Huh… very interesting…
I am currently using a simplex which was a huge step up from my Garrett ace 400. I was thinking about making another jump to the legend but now I’m not so sure. I’ll continue doing my research but thank you for making this video. Great job!
I have been detecting for 10 years. I see more people then ever so interested in this great hobby. I always so enjoy when someone comes up to me and asks,,,Do you ever find anything. And always with the same enthusiasm I tell my stories. No longer the geek with long socks on the beach. Modern day Rock Stars,,,LOL,,,
Lol!!! Yes that is my favorite question too! Rock Stars!!!!
Most informative video ever! Going for the Legend. Thanks!!!
Thank you Meril very educational love your channel
Very informative and honest. Thank you
Very informative! Thanks for sharing brother.
This is the exact video I've been dreaming of!!!! Thank you!! 🤩🤩🤩
Glad it was helpful! I have an update specific to beach detectors (recent upload)
I have a Mini Root assassin shovel. It really does expedite target recovery.
Have acquired a few diggers and found it to be the best so far. Cuts a perfect tapered square plug.
Even though I'm an experienced detectorist using a D2 I still watched your video because they're brilliant. This was all great advice.
Honored!!!!
Very good advice sir thank you
Thank you for the great advice!
LOL! My first metal detector was the garrett ace 250 and that was 2 years ago, after watching you and countless other CZcamsrs, I got the minelab 600 for my next machine. I did find lots of good things with the garrett ace 250 (including one small 10kt gold ring), but still much better options. Thanks Merrill
My first detector was a Whites coinmaster 400 that got me hooked I found a lot and used it a long time. Then after looking at more capabilities I bought a Teknetics T2 and wow that is what I still use and found some deep items this has all I need and priced right
Excellent content! Thanks!
A very helpful video, thank you
Great information. Thank you.
Thanks for real! Just getting started
I started with a Garrett Ace250. Served me well for a couple years and I found some cool stuff with it. Out grew it and wanted something better. I upgraded to a Equinox 800 a couple years ago and absolutely love it. For what I do the Equinox 600 would have served me well but I did not want to have to upgrade soon. I picked up a 6 inch coil for it. The small coil is amazing. It's like swinging a giant pinpointer.
Fantastic video, thank you.
Great video Merrill! Go go go! 1000 likes!
Like your straight forward look at the equipment for metal detection.
Very good video. No other videos out there like it.
Agree, with it all now my first was 80 dollar harbor freight #2 ace 400 also a good starter and multi frequency, I also have Simplex.....I use them according to Terrain and weather conditions...but as always enjoy you input.
BEST BEGINNERS VIDEO OUT THERE!!! NEW SUB!!!
Thanks for the good video!
Great video thanks
My Dad and I were watching this video I had to find this channel and sub because this man knows how to sell a product
Thanks Merrill. My only addition to your very helpful choice table is, (maybe already mentioned in the comments), to buy an APTX bluetooth headset for the Legend if you go for the cheapest package without including an headset. That is because of a so little as possible delay between a target hit and a beep from the detector and receiving this sound on your bluetooth headset. And perhaps to add a weight / ergonomic (balanced detector) score on the decision sheet. I personally find the Nokta Makro Legend (with the standard coil) a bit too heavy to use for more than an hour. Greetings from a cold and rainy Holland.
Im new to this about to buy a new one. Your videos are awesome & funny thank u LOL
Great video. Subscribed.
Excellent video. Subscribed.
I’ve always wanted to get a metal detector. I decided to bite the bit and get me this week. After watching your vid I purchased the Legend using your link in the description. Thanks for the review.
Thank you so much!
Thanx Bro…. Finely something I understand ❤
In my opinion you are correct in what you say. I went from AT Pro, to 800, to CTX, to XP2 which I currently use hunting urban/suburban trashy parks. CTX was too heavy for me and had to use a swing harness and hated using a swing harness. You are right, 800, 900, 600, 700, XP2, Manticore or Legend would all work fine for me. That is why I won't consider selling my XP2. So darn light with the 9" coil and such great audio features to choose from and 12 great stock programs to select. You can thank Minelab for the current crop of great detectors when every MD design engineer had to beat the 800.
So good to see you are on top off all the new detectors, is the new equinox 900 a good bay, is it really that mutch better than the 800
thank you! Subbed
