Wait...when was it Valentines Day? Nice work CPT that was a quick productive hunt. Strick

I like watching Andys videos. His testing is fair and he goes about it in precise manner. No BS with his channel just good old metal detecting. strick

Yes indeed I was looking at some close ups of the points and all of them that I could find were flat on the back so they could bolt onto the boom. Appreciate the responses fellas... strick

You mean like the Deus 2 where you use the factory programs and never adjust anything else? 🤣 Please...this thred is turning into Deus 2 lovers bashing the Manticore thred by some of the other comments i've seen above...There is another area for that in the comparisons section... strick

They make an adapter that screws into the remote that you can plug what ever you like(I have not used this). I have some water proof headphones that have the adapter built in...look up Tony Eisenhower headphones for Deus 2. adapter https://www.metaldetector.com/xp-deus-2-remote-control-headphone-jack-adapter strick

Thanks guys I think your on the right track 👍 strick

One of my clients found this on a walk about around this property near it old homesite. Trying to figure out what it is. His dad seems to think it is some kind of a bayonet but I cant find anything that looks like it. To me it looks like some kind of a hanger you would pound into a tree...looks too short to be a tent stake... The good news is hes going to take me where he found it 🙂

I just tried to look them up on your site..I think you have been hacked. A heads up. strick

Press the horse shoe button and wave the machine over a iron oblect and that should activate right up. 🙂 strick

I've been meaning to get up to the foot hills for months now.. It's only an hour and a half away but it might as well be 3000 miles when you let distractions get in the way. My main reason for wanting to get in that ground was two fold. I needed to try out my GPX 6000 in some historic gold bearing ground since I had it modified due to the factory recall. Second and less important was to see how the Manticore reacted to some hot dirt away from where I normally detect. . I've been to this place many times. It's a hard hunt every time. Two gold coins and multiple seated we've pulled out of here over the years. One can only dream about what what it was like 40 yers ago. I started out with the GPX 6000 detecting where I have found some gold in the past. I hunted for about an hour and a half with the stock 11" coil and the GPX purred like a kitten the whole time. A big difference from my last outing at this spot. I did not find any gold but dug lots of lead pellets that sounded good. Happy with the repair so far. Went back to the truck and grabbed the Manticore for a walk about. i've hunted the heck out of this spot with the nox 800 and what I discovered was that the Manticore for the most part works the same as the 800 but...with the advanced screen. Pulled a few big 50 cal musket balls and a few other non ferrous junk on an extensive walk about without any drama. Went back to the truck for beer and grabbed the Deus 2 to finish off the day digging in some iron infested areas near where the old camp sites are. Any solid non ferrous targets here are so sparse that any time you get a solid beep its like a revelation of sorts. So when I got a solid 63 on the deus 2 I expected another musket ball but to my surprise a solid round gold colored disk makes it to the light of day. My first thought was I got a 1$ gold coin...but after my eyes focused I could see some engravings on it so then i was just as happy to see that I had dug Love token made from a gold coin! And that is what I thought until this morning when I finally had a chance to clean it enough (one hour tumble with CLR) to look at it with a loop to see that it had a heavy gold plate on it. So this is what 150 year old bling looks like...it even has serrated edges like a coin would have. In the end it was a beautiful day and I got to hook up with my old friend (the property owner) and chat for a couple hours in a wonderful place. Also a pic of the Deus 2 for you wireless lovers 🙂 strick

It doesn't just happen with soil mineralization it happens with with ferrous junk as well. I posted this back in December when I first got my Manticore. My second post from the top comparing a gold ring in close proximity to a bottle cap. Note that both the bottle cap and the gold ring are pushed up ward in the photo.

Thats mighty fancy tech there Doc..guessing it's too easy just to send them detector to work off of when you get one? The cover on my 6k is some good stuff. Thank You. strick

If your happy with the chick you have then no need for another thats for darn sure...I bet you can even make a couple bucks pimping it out if thats what you decide to do 👍 strick

I hunt modern parks mostly when not hunting relics...they are whats close and convenient. There are no silver coins to speak of in these newer and remodeled parks...but there is silver and gold jewelry. Coins are simple enough to hunt in turf and should not pose much of a challenge once you gain experience and learn your machines. Gold Jewelry is another thing... I dig lots of crap to find gold in park...which is what you will have to do. No way round it. strick

Those big copper slugs you guys find....liking the terrier 🙂 strick

Take em to the beach and plant some hot wheel cars and other interesting stuff to get them started. It's gotta be fun for a kid... strick

They are Boners as well. They are very loud. Myself I would rather have the PMW as I like the iron sound better and it took me a bit to get used to them. But the quality is there for sure. An E mail from Tony when I was enquiring bout headphones for my Deus 2 " I now build two versions of my waterproof headphones: 1. The “Divers” have vent and drain holes which allows water to rapidly drain from the cups. They are specifically designed for scuba, snorkeling or free diving. 2. The “Waders” are identical to the “Divers” except that I omit the vent and drain holes. This essentially eliminates any wind noise. They can still be used under water, it just takes longer for them to drain. Perfect for dry land, wading or use in the rain. They are designed to work in the “Bone Phone” mode on the Deus II so they can be very loud. you may have to reduce the volume.The custom built 6-pin plug exceeds IP68 waterproof standards. The connector is straight so the cable can be easily routed away from your grip. Like this pic: "

The 8 inch coil is gonna be a must have for me...I seen that $500 price as well and I hope thats not real.. Maybe thats why they are chipping the coils now... so they can gouge us. I've spent some serious money on Minelabs over the years but a guy can only take so much.. strick

I just buy them all like an idiot. They all are a pleasure to swing and it is kinda fun to work over an area then go back to the truck and pull out another detector and do it all over again...detector junkie thats me 🤣 strick

Cool looking ring Joe...It would make a great present for someone or keep it for your collection. 🙂 strick

Very colorful finds...digging is therapy for lots of us and it looks like you got full session in. strick

LMAO Simon we didn't know that about you 😀 strick

Tonys are great I've got a set for my nox and Deus 2 strick

Ive had mine get soaked in the rain twice and work fine still...PS dont tell Minelab 🙂 ...go figure? strick
