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..

I do hope Minelab put something out and hopefully it will meet your expectations. Im going to reenable the 98-99 again.. here comes the nightmare and flashbacks of digging deep iron with 98-99 ID 😆. Thank you for the feedback

Oh snap.. up average to 98.. I notched out 98-99 tonally since last 2 weeks. I didn't find anything good of ID at 98-99 for the last 6 months..

Can you explain how its different than GB2 and Gold monster.. I know nothing about prospecting stuff but would like to know how much the technology has improved over time

I concur 😁

I'm running 1 region all tones.. until last 2 week I'm still in the state of figuring out what the machine tells me, add it up with 98-99 ID signal and ground/iron falsing.. Now the machine 'speaks' to me and I'm much happier so much so it put a smile on my face . I guess my problem with Manticore tonal language is the default setting is 'too tight' (default pitch starting at 30 and end with 50). 20 point pitch differences between the lowest ID to the highest ID are not expressive enough so I modified the 1 region all tones as in the picture I discriminate 0-2 and 98-99 tonally to make it sound like like iron, start pitch at 20 and run all metal.. I get all the info I need tonally and much clearer picture of what its tell me. I also start running AT General (from AT LC) in iron and can identify some of the false tones much better. Maybe much later I will decrease the start pitch to get more 'contrast' of the manticore tonal language BTW this is yesterday find (mid 1700 to 1800 ring)😊 and its missing the main stone 😒

I rolled back too. the RED number is gone on mine. Btw thank you @abenson for showing the differences between old and new software in a video.

Same here too.. But I also saw what the Manticore can do for me and the potential what it can be.. that's why I still push on to learn the machine... its part of the 'fun' for me

This is true man... manticore has 2 languages to master, 1 is tonal language and the other is the 2d graph as you said. A youtuber (forgot who he is and I think its make sense in a way) said that the 2D graph is a the written language of the aliens that the scientist trying to decipher in a movie called Arrival lol... Manticore also has 2 non ferrous line to look into.. Its not just the middle line is non ferrous.. non ferrous target will be 'floating' at the bottom ferrous line also which I think its only happen in highly mineralize soil... would be great If the forum has a dedicated post for Manticore 2D graph, and we post our finding/conclusions in relations of tonal and 2D picture on how it paint the target in the ground. Should be shorten our 2D paint language learning curve..

Thank you for the video and information's... In my mind I already accept that early manticore owner are field tester for Minelab.. Its obvious the D2 and equinox (lesser degree from D2 to my ears) perform much better in that conditions.. Minelab claim as the Manticore "Is the best coin and treasure detector on the market" and place the manticore as the Flagship of Minelab.. I am really hoping Minelab will give another software update/workaround and makes the Manticore the 'beast' in performance ... btw: it will be helpful if Manticore has mineralization meter feature too.. for the price of usd1500 it should have one..

I got the same problems as you describe when I use AT HC, now in iron patches I use AT LC. The stabilizer didn't help much in iron situations too because I need to stop and sweeps the target multiple times to properly trigger the stabilizer..
