Merrill Kazanjian is one of the most respected metal detectorists in the United States, the U.S. Ambassador for XP Metal Detectors, and the man behind Metal Detecting NYC — one of the most technically rigorous and entertaining detecting channels on YouTube. He's a 20+ year NYC school teacher, a husband, a dad, and a friend to so many in this community. He's also the only person in all of metal detecting who has created his own language for the hobby — words like Sushi and Jello that his fans live for and nobody outside his world can explain. On this episode, we go beneath the surface on all of it: his teaching career, his technical approach, the story behind his fictional rap alter ego Barry, and finally — the definitive answer to the question his fans have been asking: what does "Sushi has been unlocked" actually mean?
