As he say's in video the cracks are it the housing around the port. The Mannacoin housing looks beefed up and I'd bet a merc it's not going to be an issue under normal use. Man the gigmaster really put that EQ thru the mill! Looks like he detects during sand storms. 😀

That's about the price I've seen too. Also saw some recent forum threads that said pods were unavailable a couple weeks ago.

The British "brown Bess" was .75-.80 smoothbore caliber. But with patching the ball would be a few hundreds smaller.

Abide, to bear patiently. That's where I've been on this. Don't follow the bashing, unending comparison stuff. Occasionally a stick pokes my eye. The minelab wall of denial is one. Reminds my of an episode of the monkey's tv show. They go to a store and complain about something and the clerk points to a door with Complaint dept on it. They open it and are instantly outside in the alley with the door locked behind them.

Jeff your a fantastic contributor and i learn a lot from your posts but this i don't buy .. "I didn't post the video to bash Minelab. Neither did Gigmaster." "Sure, I wish Minelab would talk to their loyal and potential customers about things like this........they don't and I can accept that." Accept? Lately EXPECT would be more appropriate . They will talk about it and send you a new pod for X amount of money Out of warranty or a free one under warranty. The housing or what ever is defective. Maybe it would be cheaper to put it in the Mcore pod variation if its so great and solve a never ending headache.

Good vid of Lawrie demonstrating ferrous and tone functions starting at 4:25 or so.

Cant find weight for manticore coil. I would guess it's no lighter as it has more webbing + it mounts closer to the heel end a bit compared to the EQ which is on center. Not much but it has to effect the balance feel smidge. Carbon fiber shaft should help. The handgrip looks better and in video's people say it feels 'good'. Never really had a nox balance problem but my hand sliding up against the pod gets old.

Good link! explanation is about the same in manicure link. Too trashy it wouldn't be a choice probably. I am thinking of a couple long abandoned softball fields and a trapshooting range that have been gone over (by me and others I'm sure) hard. Might help find a few more silvers in places like that. Trap shooters are always fumbling in their pockets and had good luck at those sites. Overdrive not mentioned in specs, https://www.minelab.com/usa/metal-detectors/manticore

watched that. Maybe every program can have 4 custom setting?? The volume overdrive function, increases volume on deep targets. Can think of places I'd like to try that.

Great post Phrunt. Was surprised at the comparison to the CTX. The pod looks much better design/build wise, leaks solved hopefully. Would get one before another nox i think due to better build. A little more depth never hurts. And i like the menu/navigation better. Cant wait to see my wifes face when say i think i need a manicure...then the price

idk but what ever it is their not talking. That's enough to hold off buying next detector until i feel confident .

Might have in assembly, too tight and was forced in place. Not bashing just not something to ignore. Love that gigmaster guy.

Don't understand M/L's silence on this issue. Afraid to improve it because everyone with an older unit will claim product defect and demand replacement or sue? To keep replacing drowned units has to be losing battle financially and reputation wise. Maybe I'm nuts but If the M-core takes off well the nox may be fazed out by offering a "trade in" or just dropped by claiming they need to "restructure".

Poor Charles, first the ears now the fingers too.

Watching Lawrie detect and dig that roman coin was interesting. He said it's a round piece of metal. Hard to say how deep but my guess is 8 to ten inches and super dry field with stubble. The graph showed some ferrous, no idea what coin was made of, bronze? Not a game changer but improving on one and i like what I've seen so far. Don't think 50 cm (19.5 inches) dimes are trembling yet.

At 42:19 they dig a roman coin. ID 35 signal low on graph, ferrous. Lawrie's prediction is "a round piece of metal ". pops out the coin Lawrie say's "must have been deep, very far off, nearly out of depth range." It looked about 8"-10" to me, again i see nothing special about discrimination ability.

The new navigation looks great. The in ground targets they dug, nothing better really discrimination wise i saw. A round blip on screen still sounds round to the ear. And horizontally it corresponds with the ID no. Love to hear what other more experienced people made of this.

Cal that is a great Q. That rusty debris must be right up there with gold discrimination in tech ability. Love to see a in the wild dig vid of M-core showing screen ID and dig results of about ten targets, iffy signals and deep silver ID's. The EQ 800 has helped me a lot but i cant put the time in lately to stay up on it like i want. When i do get a chance i shallow water hunt and just enjoy the day.

No full manual and weird marketing points to pressure to get this in the buyers head now to stall buying other makes. The manual isn't available due to software tweaking I'm thinking, the basic start up guide isn't affected. Depending how anal or conflicted the engineering team is will determine release date. New Minelab releases crank up used classifieds everytime.

I've been looking at that too. Accept reject advanced screen? Target ID and ferrous adjustments. Settings look straight forward and slick. When he kicks the iron i was hoping it would be closer to the coin. Menu navigation looks a a lot better for sure.

I put that Statement from Dr Philip Wahrlich, Minelab's principal technology physicist just to help people (like me) to get familiar with the conversation going on. old joke about greatest inventions, one guy said the thermos is the greatest invention because it keeps things hot or cold. when asked why that's so great he said "but how does it know?"😄

After jumping on the Nox early and making my own shaft I will let this one simmer till it's fully cooked.

From a dealers Q&A. What does the term "50% more power", exactly mean? Does it mean the battery charge last longer, more detection depth or what? answer now Asked by blank on August 31, 2022 4:43 PM Answered by the admin MULTI IQ+: Minelab’s revolutionary technology has 50% more power than traditional models and is the highest-powered simultaneous multi-frequency machine on the market. This statement refers to the Multi-Frequency In Phase and Quadrature Synchronous Demodulation technology Minelab developed. Comparing single frequency VLF vs. Multi-IQ, Multi-IQ can provide a much greater target accuracy and better detecting performance, especially in difficult ground. Statement from Dr Philip Wahrlich, Minelab's principal technology physicist, about a key difference of Multi-IQ compared to the demodulation taking place in conventional single frequency VLF detectors: “Within the Multi-IQ engine, the receiver is both phase-locked and amplitude-normalized to the transmitted magnetic field – rather than the electrical voltage driving the transmitted field. This field can be altered by the mineralization in the soil (in both phase and amplitude), so if the receiver was only phased-locked to the driving voltage, this would result in inaccurate target IDs and a higher audible noise level. Locking the receiver to the actual transmitted field, across all frequencies simultaneously (by measuring the current through the coil) solves these issues, creating a very sensitive AND stable detector”.

22 is about standard sensitivity here, some places 18 was all i could stand with the Nox. Battery life is a non issue for me. T

No 50 tones? Target Tones 1, 2, 5 - Tone | 1, 2, 5 - Region All Tones AS to price I'll never pay it off in finds. I hunt for relaxation and i like the best machine i can get that's versatile for where i go. A little relic, park and fresh water hunting. The EQ 800 does this fine. The m-core (Minecore?)should be better and it seems a natural choice for me if i decide i can afford it.
