Beach Metal Detecting Tips? Try Masters Class! W/ Terry Shannon

Published 2024-04-15
I got a chance to meet one of my metal detecting idols when I met Terry Shannon at the Sunshine Silver & Relic Hunt in DeBary, Florida. What you are about to see is a masters class in beach metal detecting. Terry is an author of books on metal detecting and they have helped me learn a lot since reading them. I got a chance to interview him and the beach metal detecting tips that you learn in this video will benefit your practice.

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.

    I saw Terry down on my beach with an fpv drone! He does some hardcore due diligence!
  • I live down the road from Terry Shannon, he is a legend here in Melbourne beach and the treasure coast, he hunts hard and smart, his books are the best , Fireman Jim
  • When Terry speaks...I am listening 😂! I have learned so much from his videos and the book I brought that he wrote! Not only is Terry the king of Treasure Coast detecting, but he is a super nice guy! I emailed him about an item I found detecting the Treasure Coast, not expecting a reply. He responded and was super friendly and helpful! He is top notch in every way. For an insightful read, buy one of his books and refer to it often. Thanks, Merrill
  • I hunted Turtle Trail and it was amazing to walk in the footsteps of Terry. Absolute legend. Thanks for the coverage Merrill. You Rock!
  • About to buy my first detector. Probably going to start with the Vanquish 440 for monetary reasons. Excited to learn this new hobby.
  • Thanks Merrill for giving us the opportunity to learn from two legendary detectorist..
  • @treasurearth
    Terry is legend, what a great meet up. Although I am miles from any beaches, always love watching your hunting. Cheers.
  • One of the Greats! Thanks for posting. There are things you will learn in school that you'll never learn in the field and there are things you will learn in the field that you'll never learn in school.

    Great job in difficult conditions Merrill you can tell there was a lot going on at the silver and relic hunt, but you got er done. Not only is Terry an excellent Beach Hunter and treasure finder, but he's also quite generous with his time and information often so that others may enjoy the hobby as much as he has. Maybe next time you can get him to tell a few of his stories, he can mesmerize you for a while with just one recovery tale. Terry truly one of a kind. Thanks for coming to our hunt and sharing this.
  • @davidlundy2312
    Please let Mr Shannon know how valuable and appreciated that quick tutorial was to everyone who saw it ❤. I'm gonna try transferring the knowledge to my river banks and creekside detecting here in North Eastern Georgia, just east of metro Atlanta. Many thanks Mr Shannon 👍
  • @rmsavig2204
    Terry Shannon is from my home area in West Central Minnesota. He's the reason why there's little to no silver in our public areas.
  • Just started hunting!! Love your channel and thanks for the info sir!!!!! Appreciate ya from Texas!!!!!!
