Its tiring after awhile of doing that when using rich audio .. I always change setting on the fly especially sensitivity. For me to get the most out of Manticore the sensitivity (depth wise) need to be in a thin line between just hearing non ferrous/ferrous (clean audio) and hearing non ferrous/ferrous with minor ground noise... its like treshold but replace it by ground noise in the background.. so I always (hopefully) at the max sensitivity allowable by the ground with minimum or no iron falsing so to speak...

come to think of it.. the headache and frustrations mostly on land especially relics site with iron for me..

3 years warranty man.. it is now to submerge 😁

For me I'm chasing fine gold jewelry which Beach LC is much better than deep mode or any other mode on my beach..

Welcome to the manicure arena.. where headache and frustrations are your friend for the first few many many months if you a beginner like me 😁.. on serious note though would love to know your assessments between excalibur vs mantibelum performance later on

I don't know how to say this in the right words.. but its like lets say you cut various small size of many reflective sticker, put it lay it on the ground close together and its represent nonferrous/ferrous targets.. using adjustable flashlight brightness.. the higher the brightness, the reflective sticker will reflect almost the same no matter the sizes and some maybe it will hide the reflections of the smaller one.. I hope this makes sense.. lol..

I agree but for me a little different.. I run mine 23-25 mostly and bumped up to 25-27 sometimes depend on ear fatique and I found out even at 27-30 the deep/faint signal can be heard by sensitivity 21 the lowest on my beach anyway but this only works for sparse targets.. if targets close together doesn't matter non ferrous with ferrous or non ferrous with non ferrous when running very high sensitivity lets say 26 and above, the small/whisper target will be lost in all that amplified falsing/ground noise.. so for me.. when I'm on busy target area I will turn down sensitivity

I found out the same too.. its not much but its there. For salt beach hunting the prospecting audio outperforms every other tones setup for me to get the best out of manticore. What makes me changed to prospecting audio is because its lock/ more alertive on whisper targets on hunting swing?/discovery swing much better.

heard it in the sleep too.. its manageable in simple and medium profiles but the beauty of the manticore for me is in all region all tones + rich audio that's need to be crank up to hear the very faint tones..

Especially when using headphones with rich audio profiles.. the issue for me with rich audio profile is the deepest targets are too faint so when I use rich audio, the general volume will be set to the max on control pod and headphones. IF target tones too loud while I'm on max volume the pitch/volume can be adjusted in target tones setting. The tik tik sound makes my ears bleed when I want to change setting or modes and there is no way to control its volume or disable it completely..

I brought 2 coils to the beach, using the m8 at certain places that I think has higher possibilities for hunting fine jewelry especially necklaces and m11 for general hunting.. so far no necklaces found with m8 haha.. 😏

I'm surprise too.. not even a year yet .. its not like I go detecting everyday.. I'm a weekend detectorist.. usually around 4 to 7 hours per session.. even then not every weekend I went hunting except for the first few days back to back when I received the Manticore and m8. Hopefully it just effecting outer coating cosmetic. My nox 800 doesn't have this issue even after 4 years of used..

haha.. it was found at palm oil plantations in a soil with heavy use of fertilizer.. usually anything plated will be corroded and have ugly patina.. but this button came out as it is.. there were several buttons (like chinese origin button design) were found in this area but bigger abit than this. The thing that makes me unsure is the ID of 12.

Mine already worn... anyway.. first relic gold with m8 I think its gold .. its too small for ID at 12. Around 1 to 3 inches deep Better picture for scale

I stumbled upon this video He opened up the upper ferrous limit on locations of the traces .. but this only works (if its work) with that particular nonferrous/ferrous only?

Yea man.. hope many more will see.. or hear. I think its take time and familiarity with manticore to notice the differences. The one thing that I noticed immediately was the scratchiness, tonal shapes of full tones is missing in prospecting audio, maybe prospecting audio interpret it differently and I didn't 'catch it'. I changed from full tones to prospecting at the beach is because the prospecting audio is much more reactive to very weak signal, its become obvious when on a hunt it locked on a deep/faint target easily, Its feel a bit deeper too idk... I'm going to religiously learn this.

hold up.. so minelab confirm sell the m9? a dealer here also talked about the m9.. he said maybe the second batch will be including the m9 but I just took it as hearsay.. Regarding the m8 I'm so satisfied with the coil run at my salt beach on fine gold so much so I'm wondering if m9 will be even better. I also start learning the prospecting audio.. I have tested the full tones vs prospecting audio and I found out for me the best chance to find fine gold is using prospecting audio + m8 gassppp... gold is a gold is a gold is a gold 😁

cheaper than ours.. USD270 here..

woahh I guess its really works.. I mean this one: "perhaps possibly if we cross our fingers, hold our mouth in a certain position and stand on one leg we may see them next month." 😁 happy for you man.. do you get bundle price ?

I'm in Malaysia. I heard almost the same story @ strick here too.. not much quantity for the first batch and already out of stock. The second shipment will arrive maybe in mid to end of November its looks awesome, feels good and perform great at the beach on its introductory hunt

I received mine 😁 Almost same price as coiltek 10x 5 here.

i didn't mind anywhere as long as they put in the feature 😁.. hopefully..

This icon (large metal overload) doesn't come out ever when I'm detecting.. I mean why not utilize this 'space' for mineralization meter 😁 .. nothing fancy.. just a number showing mineralization strength.. I don't know maybe 1 to 5 or like smartphone battery health bar? I mean the mineralization's status/strength subroutine program or whatever is already in the software isn't it? just my wishful thinking

There's a video somewhere the lead engineer of Minelab talked about using ground balance of 0 on Manticore. For me I use tracking at the beach or area which I get different ground balance reading at multiple spot . manual GB for hunting deep targets and in iron if I can find a spot to GB. If I'm lazy or not sure I just use 0 GB.. You can see how the tracking works in real time when you in the ground balance menu. But don't use tracking start from 0. It will track slowly (maybe the ground phase is not so much different at the soil I tested so its appear to track slowly.. idk lol) to the actual ground balance.. anyway always pump the coil to get the actual ground balance first and then tracking
