I Found a 1600's Treasure That's Older Than America!

In this engaging video, Merrill recounts a unique day of metal detecting that stemmed from two acts of kindness—one from an old friend and the other from a new friend. The metal detecting adventure takes place at the home of Robert, a new friend, whose house dates back to the 1780s. Merrill is joined by Jeff and introduces Dr. Teresa Lyons, a childhood friend and accomplished scholar in autism research, who is also a novice in metal detecting. This collaboration aims to provide viewers with two perspectives on the activity, enhancing the educational value of the video.
Dr. Lyons expresses her excitement about metal detecting, sharing her background and passion for research. She has recently started her own YouTube channel, "Navigating Awetism," where she simplifies complex scientific publications on autism for a wider audience. Her expertise brings a fresh perspective to the metal detecting experience, as she asks insightful questions that challenge Merrill's assumptions.
As the group prepares for their dig, they discuss the importance of equipment, particularly the use of different coil sizes on metal detectors. Merrill explains the benefits of using a smaller coil for detecting smaller objects, while also providing tips for beginners on how to identify promising digging spots based on soil conditions.
Once they start detecting, the group finds various items, including a bullet casing and a flat button from the 1700s, which excites them greatly. The camaraderie among the friends shines through as they celebrate each other's finds and share light-hearted banter, including classic dad jokes. Merrill emphasizes the importance of returning the area to its original state after digging, showcasing their respect for the property and the environment.
Throughout the video, viewers can appreciate the blend of historical discovery and friendship. Merrill's enthusiasm for metal detecting is infectious, as is Dr. Lyons' fresh perspective as a newcomer to the hobby. The video not only highlights their finds but also emphasizes the joy of collaboration, learning, and the simple pleasures of exploring history through metal detecting.
In conclusion, this video is a delightful mix of exploration, education, and the power of friendship, culminating in moments of genuine excitement as the group uncovers treasures from the past.

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 22 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.
