GB_Amateur Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 20 minutes ago, Cal_Cobra said: Hopefully we don't have to wait as long as we did when they announced the Equinox.... The recent Codan report said something about "late 1st half of FY23" for expected release of a new detector. I think their fiscal year begins 1 July which would mean a Christmastime availability. But that depends upon a lot of things, and I wonder if that might be an optimistic estimate given its purpose (i.e. news for shareholders and potential stock buyers). I won't be surprised if we don't see them until February (when the first Equinoxes were released). Hey, I'd be thrilled for all of us if it comes earlier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vive equinox Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 the release of the nox was a fiasco in France, I had only had it in April and yet I was in the first batch of pre-orders hope we don't have to wait too long for the manticore We'll know if it's a best seller when steve puts up a manticore sub-forum 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirda Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Our Czech official dealer announced testing of Manticore next week on Friday 2.9. It seems that availability could be better than it was with the Equinox. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was a "take my money" handbag. ! Indicator means you're broke. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EL NINO77 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 The Minelab Manticore will be a waterproof detector of a higher class than the Equinox 800, I see Etrac*/CTX functions in a new form... focused on performance.. class A.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShintoSunrise Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Has @Steve Herschbach commented on this development yet? I seem to remember him being intimately involved with testing of Equinox, and his absence here makes me skeptical that this is a high end machine capable of replacing that product line. I'm getting less "Equinox 1000" vibes and more "Vanguish plus" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPT_GhostLight Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 I seem to remember reading that Steve H was no longer working for overseas detector companies. I also seem to remember him mentioning a long time ago that the Equinox was intended as a mid-line ML detector to test the viability of their new Multi-IQ SMF technology at that time, and that a flagship model was in the works. Or maybe I just dreamed that. Could the Manicore be the result of advancements in their Multi-IQ R&D and creating the new Multi-IQ+? So much speculating and so little time... I've already seen a Manticore listing ("out of stock") on an online detector dealer's site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
