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:

In other words, we put the clad we find in the ground, affiliate earnings, and merchandise earnings in to the stock market and we invest it. This show started in January 2019.

    Me too Merrill, I've been there with my 800. Signal disappears, great targets end up being rusty nails, or even being old rusty beaver tails that are deep. Merrill, I haven't lost anyone I know to Covid, but in the last five years, I've lost three good, close buddies, and I know the hurt. I want to take this opportunity to thank you for your videos, they allow me to enjoy my hobby, anytime I want, like in the dead of night when I can't sleep, and to, like now, just before I am gonna go out and hunt a permission yard where the curb is stamped 1952, and where I dug a 1950d dime yesterday. Today it's the back yard, all dirt, no grass :)

    Hi NYC from the UK, Can i just say i find that a lot with minelab metal detectors the signal disappears when you dig it up, it has not gone away if your detector picked it up then its telling you its a target, you must break up the clod of dirt or dig a bit deeper. It could be just a small target and with digging it up you broke the halo a round it, or moved it on it`s edge it is there you just have to trust your detector.

    Im sorry for your loss. We are all going through some rough times, thank you for providing entertainment as a distraction from it all. I do have one other thought on your disappearing targets. Some non ferrous targets sound like non ferrous targets only from one angle. Most of these are deeper targets or targets partially masked by iron. With that in mind: Some ferrous targets sound like non ferrous targets from one angle. In some situations these ferrous targets will continue to sound like non ferrous targets until there is very dirt left over them. When they are uncovered they will no longer sound non ferrous, and the non ferrous target you thought you had seem to dissappear. This is especially true when on an older site where old square nails have rusted. A small piece of older rusted nail will fool the equinox even at F2 6, I've dug several.

    I'm sure it doesn't account for all the disappearing signals but if a target is in the loose dirt in the bottom of the hole it will dissappear. That's almost always the case with me. Now I actually like it when the signal dissappears, then I dig out that little bit of loose dirt in the bottom of the hole and there it is.

He set his detector down, showed that when he moved a quarter in front of it it would read 11-12 and then when he moved (slightly bent) the wire (on the coil end) it would start reading 29-30 like a quarter should. Said they replaced his coil (loose wire inside) could you be having the same issue with signals disappearing?

    Sorry to hear about you losing your friend. I have found many flying eagles with my Nox 800.VDI has been 15-16 and they are same thickness as a fatty indian with same comp. of metal. Disappearing targets could be from several things. You broke the halo and you just got to dig a little deeper or it is in the side of the hole or you are between 2 pcs. of iron. 1 on the left side and 1 on the right side and your getting faulting off the ends of the iron. It happens to me a lot. I have the original black Garret pinpointer in which I can slide a nickel up the side of it till it just stops beeping and go back in the hole and scan the sides and bottom to find the target. It gives it a few inches deeper to find the target easier. I never go out without a few nickels to use as a pinpointer booster. If the Nox says there is a target then there is a target to be found or your between 2 pcs. of iron.
