The Suspense From Minelab! New Manticore


Recommended Posts


Ok sign me up, I want one

 

Look at the new shaft design, looks telescopic and has proper clips this time.

Looks like the discrimination patterns at the bottom of the screen?  Not the FE-CO of the CTX

It looks like it's called a Manticore

What is the myth of the Manticore?
 
Image result for manticore
The tail is that of either a dragon or a scorpion, and it may shoot venomous spines to either paralyze or kill its victims. It devours its prey whole and leaves no clothes, bones, or possessions of the prey behind. The Manticore myth was of Persian origin, where its name was "man-eater".

It also has multi-IQ+, I'm guessing the + is the 99 target ID's?

Manticore  

 That’s the name Minelab has on it with the meaning of a legendary animal with the head of a man and the body of a lion with the tail of a dragon are. Scorpion.

 That’s what I could read in the lower left front of the detector.

PS my dictionary said the head of a man. But whatever it must be wild .

Looks like it has the FE CO screen at the bottom. I'm wondering if the 88 is CO and the 20 is FE. Or that 20 could be something else like sensitivity level.

My Equinox feels old and dated now, I need a Manticore!   If they've fixed the known Equinox issues relating to build quality and also improved on multi-IQ further somehow and now with the discrimination patterns and 99 target ID's I'm very glad I didn't buy the Nox's competition as I'd be buying an outdated detector, a competitor to the old model.

It obviously now has a telescopic shaft with good clips, but I think if I squint, tilt my head sideways, drink too much coffee  and zoom in enough I see thicker coil ears.

Ok, the coil ears look improved, totally different design.  Fantastic.  Nothing to do with FBS2 though, they've done it with Multi-IQ and made a new Multi-IQ +

Hopefully a stronger design, looks to be, they changed it for a reason!

manticore, also spelled mantichora, manticora, or mantiger, a legendary animal having the head of a man (often with horns), the body of a lion, and the tail of a dragon or scorpion.

A dig at the Legend? I think so.  A legendary animal.

Off to my Minelab dealer!

You do a search on it and it’s one video after another.

 I sit here singing I got a Tiger by the tail but it’s a Lion 🦁 with a stinger.
