I was contacted by several dealers today that they got a m8 for me. Since I already Have one told them go to the next guy.

One dealer only received 1 M8 coil. Thats just pathetic.

I've given up on Coiltek offering a version.....so....now, I can't find any in stock

edit: found ONE, he wanted 275 and shipping ffs...

Somebody is trying to make an extra buck. They go for $251 free shipping. And no tax on some dealers

High Plains Prospecting sent me an email and I jumped on it.  I have no affiliation with them.

 

That’s not the sale price that’s the regular price everywhere. they make it look like it’s on sale but that’s what everybody charges $346 some dealers charge tax some dealers don’t charge tax, so be careful for that and make sure it’s free shipping.

If you are getting readings of "2" on a quarter, after a factory reset, there is something wrong.  I'd contact Minelab's repair center (Detector Center, in Pennsylvania).

I thought machines are sent to Illinois now?

I just got a call from minelab it ended up being a defective coil. Turns out they had a bad batch of coils that went out to other customers as well. Thanks for all your help.

That was a quick turn around from Minelab.

My 105's have been great so far with no issues. I don't like them though for summer as they are really hot. Thinking about ordering some 85's or maybe a WM-09. Can't make up my mind.

I’m probably not going to use the 105’s I have the wm09 hooked my wired buds seems to work fine. Plus I have a pair of detector pro uni probe. Works fine also

I just took mine out of the box. Been charging for 12 hrs indicator still red. Manual doesn’t say when it’s fully charged what color indicator light should be. Read somewhere that it’s suppose to be blue when fully charged. Is this true?

Well I’m answering my own question as I was writing on the 12 hour it just turned blue. Wow 12 hrs to charge headphones. That’s nuts!!

I've got two @steveg lowers for my Manticore.  Have the M15 on one and will put the M8 on the other if I ever actually get an M8.

Two thumbs up on the @steveg lowers!  Nice piece of kit!

I have ordered some Steve before great stuff I was just debating wether I should go full rod set up or just a lower rods. I did get my M8 and M 15 yesterday.

Wondering what most of you do with extra coils? Do you go full rod setup or just lower rod setup or nothing at all?

Salt water stripers fight twice as hard as fresh. And if you catch those you’ll never go back to fresh lol

   I have corresponded with Paul and Todd of Centreville Electronics and was very impressed with their professionalism and    attention to detail. Both were apologetic that it was taking so long to get my TDI Beachhunter repaired even though I stressed that there was no urgency on my part since I have several other detectors to use. The spring is also, typically, a slower time of the year for beach finds in my area. I'm just grateful that Centreville Electronics even exists otherwise I think that this machine would only be good for spare parts. 

  Todd contacted me yesterday to say that my detector had been repaired and verified that it was working properly again. My detector was no longer under warranty but the cost for parts, labor and shipping was surprisingly reasonable. My TDIBH is on its way back to me as I write this. Kudos to Todd, Paul and their associates for the important services that they provide.

I would imagine parts are getting harder to find and repairs will be NONE!! Hope not Whites was king back in the day

Yup....a lot of guys on this site are waiting for the M8. Will be a great coil for hunting relic sites that have a lot of shrubs and overgrowth to navigate around.

I was lucky last week found a dealer with both in stock and got them. Getting this week!! And I got the WM 09 also.

Something tells me they still won't have a problem selling them.

I know some dealers that have the 15's in stock but the 8"s the minute they get them its gone in an hour

Hello everybody, new member here from Southern Maine thought I'd drop in. Currently own a Minelab Manticore. Before that 800. And before that All Whites machines for the last 45 years off and on. Avid bass fisherman use to be in tournaments for years but things got busy just a weekender off and on. Not too many forums have strictly manticore section hope to share stories and ideas. HH
