This was extremely helpful. You answered every question that I had. Ive been detecting parks for a few years now. Im geared up and ready for my first beach hunt. Thanks

Probably the best beach detection video I've ever seen. Simple, down to earth advice-genius! More please!

Same here. Subbed

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

Thanks for that I'm new to this and am going to myrtle beach later on this month so that's helpfull as is the video so thanks to both of you!

I'm a new detectorist and have watched a lot of videos on beach detecting. This is by far the best I've seen. I'll be saving this for future reference.

Great video explaining how to read beaches. All new detectorists need to see this. Thanks from the Tampa Bay Area Gulf beaches! I use Minelab 800.

Excellent, excellent video. I tried to pick out the important things in your video and discovered they are all important! Thanks for making and sharing this video.

Good stuff.. I'll be trying out your beach pattern. Makes lots of sense... Thanks for all the tips.. well done..

Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Methodic and well thought out. Nice video.

Great video, thanks! You're the only one I've seen who discusses the overall character and physics of a beach. This is great information!

Best video I found yet, really very informative. Thank you.

Merrill, great video and very informative. Thanks for putting this together!

You make loads of good sense. Thankyou.

I remembered looking at this vid a while back...came back for a refresher ( I also watch you releases as they arrive) and glad I did.. it did jog my brain a little ! Thanks for the lesson and insight ! HH Merrill ! !

Great tips 👍 I'm an older guy Infinium LS guy myself used VLF for over the decades and I doubt I could ever go back

Your advice is spot-on. I live on the coast and have followed your methods ever since I got started detecting, and it works. If I see fresh cliffs, I'm searching the area along the base. Thanks for all you teach us. It's good stuff!

Great video! Very informative and it really displays your knowledge and passion! Thank you for this; I am detecting in Hawaii right now and needed this video. I have subscribed and look forward to watching more of your content! Keep up the great work!

Thank you for sharing your knowledge Merrill, Very informative

Loved the video and your tips. Thanks for sharing and I hope you have great luck in this new year.

Thanks for the video. I've been detecting for quite a few years and although I don't beach detect all that often, I am grateful for your suggestions about how to approach a beach. I plan on doing some beach detecting this summer.

Thank you for the infirmation and good tips.... The zigzag seems like a good habit to develop. I'm new at this and will give this a try.

Helpfully Informative and Treasure Packed. Thanks!

You are Lovely , thank u for all the tips . my fave is Brighton beach coin beach :)

Hey Merrill. Great info! I was going back thru some of your old stuff. Don't take this the wrong way but you've gotten way better at your videos over the years. You're an old pro now. Keep it up. I enjoy watching and learning from you.

Great teaching Merrill!

Brilliant advice and simpley but. Nice one dude

Thank you for the tips on how to read a beach. I am definitely going to use these tips next time I go down.

Great metal detecting lesson bro, really glad I watched this before I buy my 1st detector. 👍

haha! and now you have over a hundred rings! fun to watch this after you hit your milestone for the year. congrats merrill!

Got home from work and finished the video. Very good information. I'm in Staten Island, NY.

This is great info. Happy to be a subscriber. Thanks for sharing

You’re a great instructor. I’m taking notes. Thank you again.

Awesome tips. Thank You.

Very good tips. Thanks!

Nice video man.i enjoyed this very much.

Great video..!!!! Thank you, I learned something today..!!!!

Great video man! Thanks so much. This is only my 2nd summer on the beach and going to try your techniques. I’m upgrading some of my gear too. Having a lot of fun with the hobby.

Wow! Great information, I'm new to detecting and this video is going to increase my chances of success detecting on the beach immensely. Today is the 4th of July and the beaches will be packed, so detecting early this week should be prime time for lots of targets. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for this informative video. I've just started detecting and beaches looks favourite for my location - I'm across the pond in Bonnie Scotland. Got my C Scppe 4Pi and Nokta Makro sand scoop and rarin to go. Please keep up these vids - great info for newbies like me, cheers

Thanks Merrill, very informative.

Excellent videos my metal detecting friend thank you.

Thank you. Really informative.

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!

Hope all is well Merrill. I have truly missed your videos and I did finally get the nox 800 about a month ago. Anyways I’m really liking it ! This last week $19 bucks in clad , 7 rings and relics galore. Anyways wishing you well bro

Thanks For The Educated Information.👍

I enjoy your videos, very informative. Im very new to metal detecting. Looking to get a detector and start going out once things start getting better. I live in Brooklyn, love the video of you and the others detecting in Prospect Park. Im a few minutes from there.

Hi i m new on this hobby but starting by my self all my finds are correct in this line...great video👌👌👌

Thank you very much Merrill great video it felt like my best friend had come around to give me some advice . You deserve this subscription , looking forward to watching all your videos,

Love your channel and I'm new to metal detecting. I went with your advice and purchased the Minelab Vanquish 340 and going to try in this week on vacation, on the Beach ⛱️ , in Colombia South America

You are a good teacher, cant wait to get out there.

Thanks! Great video.

I learn a lot from this video.salute partner😎

Kia ora! Great video mate! (I live in New Zealand) Just what I had been looking for - a very easy to understand video!!! I am very new to metal detecting and have just got the new Minelab Vanquish 540. As yet, I have had no luck hunting on the wet sand (just one $1 coin and pull tabs and bottle tops). I look forward to putting your tips to good use over the coming days! I will let you know how I get on!!

Awesome video. Thank you

I just recently moved to the beach and I'm looking to do this hobby. Thank you for the information, did a great job explaining.

I have to say that I have learned so much from you. I Just bought my first metal detector which was the simplex ultra, and I don't want to go out and get lost in it, because then I will lose interest. I want to try to get a feel for it before I actually dig in and make some progress with it, Your videos are the best. You are a great teacher. A little side note, I am from Canada and I watched your target ID video, and the coinage targets are similar to mine, but the jewelry and trash is something I found useful! I couldn't find the download of it on your website, but it's okay! I really look forward to hopefully someday seeing one of your in-depth videos about the simplex ultra! Thank you so much!

Good stuff, brother!

i appreciate your video it all makes sense

Very helpful tips (I’m gonna try walking the „X-Method“) :D greetings from Germany 🇩🇪

Good job, keep having fun. I like how you shook the camera when you talked about the shaker. Funny. Anyways take care. Happy hunting.

Thanks. Those were great tips; especially your opinion on gridding. I've been searching for a month and not finding a lot of targets after gridding for hours is very depressing.

Great video! I ve been interested in doing this for a while now and had no idea how to get started. I live in the FL panhandle and want to try the gulf coast beaches. You got a new subscriber!

Thanks! I am going to try that ‘walking the x’-technique next time at the beach. I use a Equinox800, great machine for the beach. Greetings from the Netherlands

Thank you very much for this lesions .

Great video Merrill 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:)

Excellent video, thanks heaps mate for all the tips, I just bought my first Equinox 600, can't wait to go to the beach especially after lockdown. For future, I recommend checking the video again, because I had to constantly turn sound up and down to adjust to your edited clips. I didn't mind but I know it frustrates a lot of viewers.

Good stuff, thanks!

Nice video, good information, thanks

Cool deal! Will try out the “X” pattern (or maybe it’s more of a “V.”) And now I have more “honey holes” and sweet spots to go back to for sure! 😎👍🐬

Excellent video Merrill! We have been detecting for 20 months now and have similar finds to yours. Everything you showed is true. 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!
