what a about necklaces/chain do you feel its worth to learn prospecting audio? I tried prospecting audio few times too but my brain cant make sense of the audio feedback.. I'm more on all region enhanced audio.. I'm trying to figure out the best combinations to maximize the potential of finding necklace/chain .. lol. Sorry to hijack thread..

I just asked my distributor, he said 'no idea'...

yea man.. digging all those rusted copper/aluminum slaw like holy mother... but I'm getting better at choosing which sound/ shape that I will ignore to a certain degree.. I didn't remember the numbers in the ground but its very low tones.. it sound cleaner and sharp even at depth.. .. Air test ID from left 5, 9 and 12 to me manticore is more sensitive than the equinox.. I don't know if 'more sensitive' is the right word.. the equinox can detect as same but the manticore will detect deeper especially on low conductor. My plan is to use the m8 coil on the beach also.. it should be better.. me think... now the only thing missing is the m8 😒 its almost a year already since I have the manticore .. I hope Manticore will 'see' more clasp with the m8

I think I heard it too but more iron rumbling noise... the necklace I found that I decided to dig was because of the clasp (I think) giving repeatable low tones 1 to 3

Especially necklace, how do you hunt the elusive necklace, chain etc.. lets say if you found a pendant.. then what will you do... I have found few pendants (on different hunt) but no necklace .. so I figured maybe I do something wrong or not enough... The way when I'm hunting for necklaces is I will spiral out (around 3ish meter radius) from the pendant I found and dig everything that has even a slightest bit of positive signal. The setting I used is Beach LC , Sensitivity dependent on soil mostly 23 to 27, Recovery 4, Ferrous Limit 6 - 2 Each pendant found on different hunt around 4 to 7 inches except for the necklace around 3 inches. Would love to know your methodology when hunting small chain, neckless etc.. Thank you in advance.

I feel the same way too.. now I'm trying to find a way to differentiate a good iffy target vs a bad iffy target. I ran ATG and use ATLC to cross check help a bit.. but for now what I did mostly was dug some of the top layer and recheck the target again..

I'm just teasing, screenshotted this from facebook 😒

yeah especially coin with ferrous core I think its better not to use stabilizer

well I guess the coil is still unavailable anywhere 🙄 ...

Ground mineralization's meter update? 😆

I am jelly... no news here too (asia)

4 x 2.5.. wow does the electronics can even fit in a coil that small? second this 😁

Where do the clad resides on the 2d screen on air test? The good thing about manticore is I can modified the ferrous limit as custom as I want, assuming your ferrous clad is not on the center line... Its not 100% working as intended due to soil, masking etc.. same goes to bbq grill netting.. I can open up or close the ferrous limit on where the trace resides for that particular target Short pressed or long pressed noise cancel?

I'll pass 9" round DD coil too in favor the m8 mainly because of water/stream hunting and I can only choose one. I promised myself I will buy manticore accessories with its find only lol... I have no problems with the EMI anymore since I use the machine. I have 2 relics site that close to cell tower which gave problems when running high sensitivity on other machines.. with the Manticore I can retrieve targets from another/deeper layer and that alone makes me very happy with the Manticore

I'm bored at work, I stumbled upon this on youtube. I dont know man... Already set for the m8 when it become available.. Guess have to wait for confirmations from Minelab regarding the fourth coil.. concentric 9' coil maybe? If I have the option to choose between m8 and the "coil coming soon that is great for sites that have loads of small iron targets", I will choose the latter 😁.

I'm at a point where I'm comfortable with the Manticore in iron. Now I can use AT general with upper 7 and below 2 using the old software in iron. I think I'm on the next stage of knowing the Manticore which is distinguishing bad iffy signal vs good iffy signal. Would love to know your method and experienced regarding this. Thank you in advance

I'm using 5 regions all tones all metal for all my hunting (land and beaches has different tones for low conductor), I'm trying to get the continuity?/logical sounds? for iron tones/pitches and very low non ferrous tones that makes sense to me. As in the picture below: T1 volume at 10, t2 Start at 3 with pitch at 15, t4 end at 97 with pitch 50 and t5 linear pitch of 50 for 98-99 TID. it gives me more obvious tonal nuances for what is in the ground. As for bottlecap, If I have to investigate, I will circle around the target looking for the S shape from top ferrous to bottom ferrous and also using the wiggle method for bottle caps (This method would not work if I cant find clean ground under the coil and not all bottlecaps react the same). All these wont work all the time. I still dug the freaking bottle caps and I'm ok with that. As for me, I always stick to the rules if not sure, just dig it and move on.

I wonder what can the 15 inch coil can gain apart from better coverage. I mean the 11 inch coil on Manticore obviously has max out the depth it can detect and its not even need very high sensitivity setting to achieve that, at least in my experience and soil with possibly insanely high price.. I don't know if its worth it. Since Manticore is awesome in EMI handling, I'm curious if it does makes any difference which for me when I used the 15 inch coil on the equinox, I didn't get any advantage over the 11 inch coil mostly because of the EMI limitation.

Off topic a bit.. does anyone know where can I find the outer shell for minelab profind 35? the Power button is hard to press and now its become. Called Minelab distributor here, they said Minelab doesn't sell the spare part for pinpointer

It will react to the ground.. This is what I learn so far and in progress regarding sensitivity on my ground: 18-22 If I want to hunt pleasantly with Manticore tonal language experience and stable ID 23 to 25 the language get distorted kinda and the ID still can be use as reference 26 to 29 back to basic dig or no dig tonally and just to check if something down there or not. Manticore tonal language will be thrown out of the windows when I use this setting.. lol

I hope Minelab makes an exception for the Manticore. Its a usd 1500 detector and as @Yatahaze323pointed out a usd 250 detector has one. I feel the mineralization's meter will be very helpful tools to determine quick initial/rough setting to get the maximum performance, but then again what do I know.. lol. Yesterday I'm on a site of which within 25m radius I get 3 different GB reading of 2, 10 and 42. I don't know what kind of mineralization's are but I do test at 1 spot I can only detect 7' deep and the other 2 spot around 10' to 14' by using AT General. The site were in palm oil plantation near a river with clay soil. At all these spot the deep targets cant be detected using below 21 sensitivity. This coin in particular were found at 10' ish, The lowest setting it can detect ( with no ID, no trace just very faint whisper sound ) is sensitivity 22 with recovery of 4, using recovery of 6 the target disappear. The 'ok' setting that still has the Manticore tonal language is sensitivity of 24 with recovery speed of 4. The good the basic 'dig me' tonal setting for me is sensitivity 27 with recovery speed of 5. I'm for one is happy with the Manticore 35 sensitivity range is available to me. It is very helpful to check very deep targets. It is a tin coin leaching for 300 years in the ground. I didn't use any other modes to check.

This is the Way.

I concur... 110%.. 😁 In mean time.. how do you determine the mineralization's for the time being with Manticore? As for me (I don't know this is correct/right way or not) .. a) by using 2D screen.. if my targets floating at the lower ferrous limit.. its the indications of mineralization's in my soil and Ill bump up the recovery speed to 5 or 6. b) changing ground balance number manually (+ve and -ve) and see how far off the tones changes (on 5 inches or deeper target only). For example if the tones changes/skew? with +/- 5 points from the 'pumping' GB value. I will use recovery speed of 6. At some places the tones changes when the GB greater than +/- 10 points of pumping GB value, I'm going all out.. the max sensitivity as I can with recovery of 4. I only use these method IF I found a target. If there is another way that is more effective and correct. I'm all ears.

Hi man, can you elaborate more about this?

Same here too. Still have the nox 800, wont sell it.. Even though I prefer to use the Manticore over the equinox 800 that is out of warranty, I still picked up the 800 with 6' coil for fresh water hunting (river, waterfall) every time. Hopefully the m8 is within the reasonable price range..
