  1. Yup, where the snow gets piled in parking lots has proven good hunting. But you do have to wait for it to melt some what.
  2. No regrets. It has upped my gold recovery rate over the Nox 600. Can't wait for the thaw!
  3. Mine just arrived. Now waiting for thaw!
  4. Where I fresh water hunt there is a lot of can refuse over the last 100 years. Deep iron is a big problem. Yes, 4 on RS seems to work best with sensitivity between 19 and 21 in LC mode. Being in water helps slow down your swing speed. Ring and coin recovery has picked up with these settings.
  5. We might have gotten one for Canada. At that price they can keep them.
  6. Don't know about Florida beaches and haven't been to any west coast beaches yet. However, my last three hunts before it froze up were done with the prospecting sound scheme. Lots to learn in that mode but all three hunts were successful in finding silver and gold rings! As noted, it will be nice to be able to discern foil from precious metal targets. More time is needed with these settings. The Manticore has been a game changer in my recovery record in 2023. 10 gold rings, 14 silver rings, 31 non precious rings. 2 silver chains, 5 silver earrings. One gold charm.
  7. You know, I was thinking. If they release an update before Christmas that solves all issues it has... Make it out perform Deus II where the Deus shines, and have a new button function that pulls the target out of the dirt for you. I might be able to put my nose back in joint, before Christmas 🤪
  8. Hope you bought any extra available coils that you desire. We can't even get them here and they're also increasing their price by %25.
  9. Well, I just spoke with our dealer here in Calgary. No word from Minelab on coil shipments. However they were told of the %25 price hike for January 1st.
  10. Just watched a Minelab Australia video saying across the board price increase of approximately %25 for all metal detectors. Manticore is listed in Aussie dollars, same as Canuck dollars as $2199. New price January 1st. $2699...
  11. Gold pull tabs just sound better, as do balls of foil!
  12. Hi KDX, Try lowering recovery speed to 4 or 5, sensitivity between 16 and 19. I usually am on LC and have been using prospecting audio. Takes some getting used to the sounds but I do believe the audio helps to identify the core sound of your target. You will find an extreme difference between bottle caps and modern Canadian clad. Our clad has way less pronounced iron or bass tones. Also new quarters are scratchy sounding like a rusted through tin can. Dimes are almost impossible if you are discriminating. Hope that helps!
  13. I tried this mode out again yesterday. It works real well with our crappy modern clad. Still need to fine tune it, but I see possibilities.
