  1. With the price that the manticore has right now, I think they are going to lose a large number of potential buyers.  If he had been taken out on Garrett's anniversary as most of us believed, the wound would have been tighter.

    DD coils really do not have the ability to get the performance in comparison to the Spiral wound coils. So the older detectors SD/GP’s that needed to run DD’s to handle the more mineralized ground are not going to help out in your situation with moderate to heavy ground mineralization.
     

    Smooth timings are the way to go in heavy mineralized environments and the mods also do gain even more depth but these are expensive options to get the depth you’re looking for.

    If you’re in less mineralization and can run normal or sensitive timings with a mono 15” Evo coil or equivalent then you could do will getting the depth that you have described wanting with the older models.
    This is mainly due to the coil size being bigger than what is currently offered on the 6000 and if you went with the 5000 and ran Sharp it’s even 20% deeper yet but only in low mineralized conditions. 😳

    I do a lot of comparisons videos and can send anyone a link if wanting to see different coils compared.

    Personally the tests I have done for Extra Sensivity coins have always been deeper than Sharp.  If you can share the videos I would appreciate it

    And I have a sneaking suspicion of why things became-the-way-you describe, in Spain, after my chat with the Spain guy ~20 yrs. ago (described in my post).   Care to take a guess why it got to what you're describing now ?  I bet I know.

    The problem more than 20 years ago, as you say, was that there was no regulation and a completely obsolete law and people took advantage of that by getting into places they shouldn't have but if the guard saw them they wouldn't say anything either. But I can tell you an anecdote.  I am 44 years old and I already had a detector before I turned 16, Ami, that same civil guard that denounces you now many years ago told you where you had to go, if you wanted to get some money

  4. Here in Spain things are not very good, what can we say.  Spain is divided into communities and the heritage protection laws were at the National level and were old and inconclusive.  In Andalusia, which is my community and where I live, was a pioneer in passing a law regulating metal detectors, regulating if not prohibiting, since you had to ask permission from the administration 3 months in advance of the day you wanted to go out to detect.  They went for years without answering, that is called administrative silence and it is the same as denying.  After years we managed to get permits only for beaches and not all, only the ones they had authorized and valid for one year which you had to renew.  Well, after many years of this, it turns out that last February they made a decree law and they banned it suddenly.  The other communities will begin to copy the Andalusian law and many already have an updated bill.  So depending on the community you are in, you are a little better off or screwed like us.  Right now, if you want to use my detector on the beach, I'm a poacher or a plunderer, which is the name they've been calling us lately in the news.

  5. If you want depth and discrimination, buy the detech 15 double spiral, I have not used a plate that discriminates as well as that one and it goes as deep as one of 18 and you don't have to open a hole as wide as one of 18 but it has a problem that it weighs as one 18 or older

  6. I have to say that where the confusion is is on the official detech website.  Where I bought it, it was in a trace detector and it doesn't say anything about it being spiral wound.  and I have to thank him for changing it for the 11 what if it is spiral wound
