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:

Great job. I have followed Tony for years. I have even bought his head phones for the NOX and I have had him mod my Excalibur and got head phones for that one as well. I remember when he did the same revue as you but I think you covered it better. Thank you very much I need to make some metal detecting videos for my channel. Take care and stay safe.

@Diana-sr5ub 3 года назад

I think soil makes a big difference too. Example: My nickels in northern part of PA. ring from 11 up to 14 but main range is 12,13. There is a lot of minerals in the ground here, I some times see small amounts of rust as I dig but it is just the natural metal in the ground rusting. As a teacher you will like this; pencil tops ring up just like a nickel every time I find them... I hate pencil tops!!

My favorite coins of all times the Franklin Half (Years of Issue: 1948-1963 90% silver ) and Washington Quarters (Years containing 90% silver: 1932-1964) I guess they'll be in the 34-35 range. Excellent video Merrill this have to be without doubt the most complete video related to target ID's. Thank you for all your work and happy Thanksgiving!

@charliealleman4966 3 года назад

Very informative. I knew this in the back of my mind but it's nice to see it happening in a somewhat scientific method. I don't have the same detector but I'm sure the results would be similar (the range of coins). Well done.

@detecturismo2343 3 года назад

Excellent job! As you sad before ...dig everthing! My guessing is the sounds change and could be the best way to consider to discard or not a target. Davidson from Brazil..

@IslandTreasureHunter 3 года назад

Thank you for taking the time to make this video, I was thinking of doing one for the Australian currency as there really isn't many good videos out there on our coins. I wonder if the numbers will change again with auto tracking off?

@adamreily7079 3 года назад

I've noticed with rings, if it's a simple band, or almost perfect circular band, it's a solid non jumpy tone, but if it's gota bunch of stones on it, it's jumpy

@larrystephens7437 3 года назад

I did enjoy the video and thanks to your kids for their effort in putting up with you to make it happen. My first question is, why Beach 2? It would be interesting to see Park and Field used as a comparison of VDI ranges IF ANY... Good Stuff.... Thanks...

@btbd2402 Год назад

Nice! I did an experiment, and filmed it all. Just have not loaded it to my YT. I dug 1000 holes, and recorded all the significant finds. It worked out to 2 gold rings in 1000 holes at the beach! That was the conclusion of my experiment. I was going to challenge other detectorists to the 1000 hole challenge, and see what averages they may have. I do think 1-2 gold rings per 1000 digs is about "normal" for me.

@Rave_OnBuddy 3 года назад

Thanks for the extra effort put into how coins ring up. Of course, air testing gives only relative results that really do not reflect how in-ground IDs will be. Rather than look at dates, weigh your coins for your tests. My questions: Are you running the 3.0 upgrade which is more stable? Why is your sensitivity set so high? It appears you ran the tests in Beach Mode 2 which is for in-the-surf use (?) If you answered these questions in your video, I apologise. Whatever, since all objects were scanned with the same settings, you get some sense of the relative values. I watched this on my TV so I did not have access to your text. Thanks again for the detailed results you show.

@VOSR Год назад

I found a war nickel this week that rang up a 25 on the Nox (80 on AT Pro) and immediately thought of you Merrill.

@petedetects7012 3 года назад

Even when I tell myself not to , it seems I always end up cherry picking with my Nox 800. It usually starts at an hour or so in the hunt .I continue the hunt chasing the high 20s and up . That is not a very wise metal detecting strategy yet thats how I hunt with the Nox . Not sure if I'll ever really feel at one with it . Oh well ! Good job on the examples you made for us viewers 👍

@DCDetector 2 года назад

I would have liked to see more of how you swing the coin ver the coil. I noticed at the first, with the Indian Heads it looked like you were swinging parallel with the coils detection pattern instead of swinging it as you would detect. That would account for a variation in VDIs on the same type of coin.

@marlonwallace9087 2 года назад

One thing I never understood. What is the point in knowing all the different ID’ if at the end of the day we’ll dig everything anyways? There are gold rings that will hit just as bottle caps

@elizabethstelling4720 3 года назад

Ok. I have been watching these for a while now. These are very informative videos. So, you have inspired me to get my own metal detector! It's on order and should be here shortly. I will detect my back yard when it gets here then I am going to take it to the beach with me when I head out that way soon. I can hardly wait. I didn't go super expensive and got one that has the water proof coil and is height adjustable (I'm very short), and light weight (I have prior surgical issues with my arms). I hope to see if I love it as much as I have loved watching your videos and whether or not this becomes a "thing" for me. My hope is to have fun, find treasure and get more exercise. I will rig up something for the dog too and see if I can do this with him coming along where permitted. Wish me luck!! :)

@elizabethstelling4720 3 года назад

Oh, and why can't I "love" your videos? Only thumbs up or down? Hahaha!

Hi Merrill, Did you ever rate the Fisher F22? Very informative video ! Thank you, James Walsh

@QuestForDetails 3 года назад

so I just got my 800, and was getting out my hoard, to go over each with a bench test, then I thought , hey I should film it it would be interesting, ( you must have been hard at work by this point on this vid ), any how , watching this... Im thinking Job well done, and I'll just refer others to your vid . I did some bench tests on the AT PRO , but nothing this thorough , and don't think I could make one this in depth so...just wanted to say thanks I'll be trying to soak it all in and referring back to it, and I'll for sure let people know its out there, G.L. H.H. !

The aluminium foil rings low. Now after i saw the video i feel bad couse a lot of times i just skipped aluminium if it rang as around 1-6 :(:( Awesome video! Thanks for the effort!!! "Dig everything" my new motto!

@kepvalley 3 года назад

Great tutorial on Nox signals! Thanks for putting in all the effort! 👍 I find corrosion plays a big role. Hence the wide range in zincolns. I think the older stuff (IHP) might be less consistent due to metallurgical technology over 100 yrs ago being not as refined as today. Iron coins? Our Canadian coins are nickel-clad steel. Practically iron! Need Park for it and rings up jumpy from 13-15 and negatives. Park 1 just sounds like iron junk! Have to dig lots to train the ear for it! Make sure the DHB stuff doesn’t glow! Might need to see how they ring up under a geiger counter!😁

@flthunderdigginwrob3162 3 года назад

Kep Valley, I think you're right with the corrosion for the Zincs, and also if they've been hit by a mower, or disintegrated some, it changes the signal!!!

@detectingchas3827 3 года назад

I just pulled a silver dime out of my yard yesterday it was ringing up 17 18 till i dug it up no bs i thought it was just a penny till i open the hole them it rang up higher from get go i had no idea it was silver

@jayman6905 3 месяца назад

Buddy if you took a photo of that whole board and put it on a poster I would buy one off you. That's some good work there I'm from the UK and a lot of the coins we find are different but it would still provide us with a good idea of what numbers mean what, I just got a 600, and something like that would be instrumental and very educational 👌

@T-Jack 6 месяцев назад

I have found that my air test vs. a coin in the ground do not always match. And I am sure many, including myself, have passed over good signals because they were not reading like they should.

@treasuredog-ci9ir 3 месяца назад

You guys should check out the treasure dog of maine..he gets some insane stuff off colonial beaches with the minelab equinox series

@williestembridge5607 3 года назад

Merrill hello just finished watching your video! I have I question why didnt you do the settings in park. 1 or park 2 because Indian heads read different in. The park then at the beach .. I'm just wandering ☝

@stanvisualseychelles932 Год назад

Looks like you have to dig up everything with the Nox compared to you newer video of the Legend Bible ID. I see better separation ID with The Legend. Still deciding between the Nox 800 and Legend. Today I pull the trigger

@Derichoule 3 года назад

Ps love your videos

@brianallison1913 Год назад

One thing I can say about the equinox is to get in the habit of removing and cleaning the dirt from under the coil cover as it will mess with your readings. I'm still tinkering with my equinox for about a year now. Some days it seems like the best detector I could wish for and other days I wonder what happened.

@garysteven615 2 года назад

Wow you did a lot of work ( and the cute kids) for this! I would think it’s a combo of the sound and the number. Your thoughts

@MetalDetectingNYC 2 года назад

Yes agreed. The sound helps with the inference

@prospexican Год назад

if u chose another profile nickels will keep around 13. problably my prefered profile so far will be park 2. since gold has more audio response at that profile or mode.

@willkleespies8682 3 года назад

Hey Merrill, I know the VDI is the same on many targets but how about the tones on similar vdi objects. Can we use a musical note microphone 🎤 ( i don't know if that exists or what its called to decipher a range of tones and pitch) to hear the difference in tone, because im willing to bet a good ear can hear the different sounds in the same number values and i think that would be VALUABLE info to have. Go back and listen to the video without watching and HEAR it, very cool stuff.

@g.fortin3228 3 года назад

Have you done the firmware update ? Hopefully. I'm wondering if anything like wifi is affecting it. I guess you're using multi because thats what you use at the beach, but does affect TID. For example I dont use multi sometimes on land, so I' might do a mini version of what you did, as I dont have near as many targets as that. Three times on three boards for kicks, to see what they differ like on the new 4khz, the multi and maybe 20khz for low conductors. Just like you as a test for TID because we already know what tone range your getting through the headphones. .. Thanks for this video ! I am going to get out on land with the new 4khz and try it, supposed to ID less jumpy on silver, and slightly deeper. Test it against multi :-) Keep up the good work and HH to ya' !!

@detectingpa8968 3 года назад

I think as the coins either silver or copper can creat there own halo which can cause a slightly higher VDI. For example when you dig silver there is typically black soil surrounding it. That’s why sometimes you get a higher VDI. Wheat pennies are a good example too. I’ve dug many wheats that read as high as silver...26-29. I think the detector picks up the halo of the coin and gives a slightly higher vdi

@BIKkeRrFoRRLLiFFEE 3 года назад

My first day out with my nox I dug a perfect 12-13 at 6” was my first 1927 buffalo nickel then later got a banging 30-31 an was a 1923 mercury dime in perfect condition with black staining at 6”

@detectingpa8968 3 года назад

@@BIKkeRrFoRRLLiFFEE yea, 30-31 wouldn’t make sense for a dime more like a quarter but with halo I think it would of gave it a higher VDI like you said. Cool!

@kenb897 11 месяцев назад

Do you have a link to your website? It would be great if you posted one as I cannot find it. Thanks! Great video, ..after owning an equinox for about 10 months, it was easy to relate to many of your observations. I am up in Canada, but I do find the occasional American coin. The newer canadian coins ring up like garbage. It's squawks at you. It's actually identifiable to a certain degree. Our silver coins are pretty much the same as yours. Thanks for this video!

@jaredwhite489 25 дней назад

Your also in beach mode. I’d tried this in park 1&2 and field 1&2

@KB-ks8jv 3 года назад

Now do you have the update? And change your kHz to see the wide range !

@FoerdeFinder 3 года назад

31:13 the ring looks like 10k and i would bet it is: 1. it's only a bit tarnished (a copper/brass ring would be much more worn/eaten up) 2. 10k is only 417/1000 parts gold and the rest of the alloy is copper or silver which has a higher conductivity, than gold hence making the target ID higher 3. it is probably very heavy compared to other gold rings, which also leads to higher conductivity.

@KRich408 Год назад

I'm thinking depending on the environment they were in different levels and types of oxidation have occurred causing the difference readings, especially copper.
