I've been experimenting with my Manticore as a nugget hunter, kinda difficult with only an 11" coil as I can often have more than one pellet under the coil at once so I'm desperately waiting for a smaller coil but with the Nox 800 in highly contaminated gold areas with shot gun pellets I used to try take advantage of the Target IDs, the pellets almost always gave a 1 - 2 Target ID as most are on or near the surface and consistent targets, if ever I was getting numbers above that or even below it
