Yes chase is correct I had to send it to Illinois. I just got it back yesterday with the new coil and it works great now. I was really impressed on how quickly they got this taken care of.

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.

I've tried everything from 10 to 25.

I've already contacted minelab and they had me ship it to the service center. after I hear from them I'll post a follow up.

To Your first question yes. As far as the beach modes it will read correctly with Beach surf and seawater. So it will only read quarters correctly in multi IQ in two programs all terrain high conductor and the beach surf and seawater. Yes I will be contacting minelab tomorrow. Thanks for all your help you guys are awesome!!

I just took it out of multi IQ to see what would happen and the quarter started reading 90.

Just checked it out everything looks good on the coil. What's weird about this is it reads the right vdi numbers in all terrain high conductor. Then the second issue I'm having is the vdi numbers for all coins going significantly higher in any program other than AT HC.

Ok thanks Steve..what about the vdi issue is that normal on a manticore?

I did a factory reset I also went back to the old firmware no luck put the new firmware back on these were air test and I tried my test garden.

Just recently purchased my manticore and noticed quarters are coming in at 2 on all the programs except for all terrain high conductor which comes in at 88-90. Also vdi numbers completely change when I use anything but all terrain HC. For example dimes are 81 in HC and jump to 88 in the other programs nickels go from 27 up to 39. Has anyone experienced this?
