You may have a point there. Testing in air is different than ground. Thanks.

I like the way he talks. His speech has color to his words. How much have you tested the Manticore ? Sharp Shooter is smarter than most of us.

Great to hear. Just need to get one.

How is the air in Ca. ?

Very nice. Good for you.

Well as I get more and more time with this machine I'm starting to get to a point I can set it up for different sites. Found a new site and have been picking cherries and have had some nasty signals that ended up being silver and copper and nails all in one plug. 

Taking the Beast to a couple areas to hunt

What makes the Manticore great also makes it hard to learn. Sensitive to all targets. Close and deep. How can there be so many targets in the ground ! There is hope on the way. A small coil will help a lot. I am getting to old to dig all targets. So i must learn the Beast. I do like this machine and i have had a lot. It has the power. just need to control it.

Sounds like you need help. Just buy the M-CORE.

I really fill bad about that,but come on man. How many mouths has it been ? I forgot.

It may be fertilizer. Don't forget the 800 scale is 0-40 and M-core is 0-99. It will show much more target v.d.i. by nature.

Just had to go for it. M-C should be here on the 29th. My birthday is the 30th. Amazon.

Thanks Chase. I got that all wrong.

Hi Gary. Do you have a Manticore for sale ? If not now let me know when and i will buy one from you, Thanks Mike.

You can never get enough money. No discount for Vet's. Yep that sucks.

This shovel is amazing for cutting plugs. It has a curved blade that makes for a very clean plug. Nice and neat and clean when you close the hole. Just what we all need. Just like you were never there.

A lot of great information. Thanks.

The high conductor setting will send a very low signal to the ground and use more battery. Maybe that is when it uses more power ?

Garret Z-lynk will work on any detector. It has a transmitter and receiver. Plug and play.

Thanks PSPR. This the best way to go. Just need that Manticore like every one.

Looks good. I am looking at Garrets device as well. Z-link.Thanks.

That is it for sure PSPR. I like the Sony lite phones. I here the detector and my surrounding. Why not a WM08 module Minelab ? Most of the time,it is to hot for big phones.

I also have had many detectors from Whites. I think the first was a 6000 D . I now own a V3I . Always upgraded to another Whites. First time i ever had a different brand was last year. A NOX. I still take the V out for a walk. Love both machines. The V is still a great machine and will stand it's ground by the best. To dig or walk ? It's all about info. or data. You will not beat the Whites V3I in data points.

For the IN water use i get it on a straight shaft. For all beach and land S rod is much better i think. Swing a S rod detector then a straight rod. If you have to left the coil to keep it off the ground in front of you when you swing then that will put a stain on your arm is no time at all. I love the Nox. Just wish it had a s shaft. It would make a great detector much more user friendly. Just me.

The Whites V3I is much heavier but seems much lighter. Why ? S rod and counter weight with box at rear. I have Steves fiber rod with counter weight and it helps alot. 

My soil is 50 to 65. I did a test in garden,coins 8 inches down 6 inch apart. 11 inch coil. Set sensitivity to 15 to just get a signal that targets were there. One nickel and one quarter. 0 on g.b. no signal. After g.b., was getting both signals,not great , but a signal i would have not walk by. I always G.B. Every time.

Thanks Steve,for making that clear for me.
