Great job on the instructions for the newbies! Always gotta remember we all were once in their place, and be respectful!🏆 We will be back at it soon, before you gotta head home!🍀👍👍

🎂👙🍀👍👍

I'm just happy for SteveG's business, that he is "fixing" the problem for some detectors, and hopefully profiting from it! That guy is a pleasure to deal with, in addition!🍀👍👍

Look's Showroom new!😎🍀👍👍

While i like the look's and idea of the insert, it 'may" contribute to a possible breakage! It's possible that MineLab didn't infill that area themselves for a reason, in their design! Regardless, we all buy aftermarket parts for various reasons, and ultimately, it's a personal decision to use them; some help, some don't!🍀👍👍

Awsome hunt MN, you got the cake, and the frosting in the end!💍🍀👍👍

Great job NJ! Nice finds!🍀👍👍

I still gotta side with Chase on the coil stiffener probably contributing to the break! I haven't seen any other's of the new design broken, except the one in this post! I primarily use the M15 and have had no issues with "this" MineLab design on the Manticore; yet🤞! I had my doubts on the "tuning fork" design innately, but if something breaks there, i want it to be on the lower shaft side anyway, not the expensive coil side! Temperature may also play a role in how brittle, or flexible a particular part is on any detector! Or even a molding flaw, in one out of many that was manufactured! One thing i know for sure, MineLab has been stellar for me on warranty replacements, and in a few cases beyond warranty replacements! My last were the M105's and the WM09 that got drowned in a rainstorm as i was beach detecting! Sent me both new, including another charging wire and headphone wire!🍀👍👍

I'm just hoping some of Bob's luck (and skill) drifts to me, as we criss-cross one another detecting!😆 Together, i observed; we seem to turn around some other detectorists heading in our direction!🤔 Dont know why, we are relatively friendly dudes,😎 and we don't find it all! 🍀👍👍

Saved another one Bob; and maybe a marriage!💍🏆 Glad that return story turned out better than your Virginia Beach cell phone story!🧟‍♀️😆 We will see what else can be found!🍀👍👍

Well, i guess it's a "Rare" non-working model than! Want to buy it??😆 Funny i missed that, that explains the color difference!👍👍

Sounds like you earned you finds, with the "yardwork"😏 I bet if you could sift that area, it would produce many more interesting items! I get the "resurrection" ferns that fall out of my large oak trees, and place them on an old log in my yard to keep growing!👍 Keep up the good work!🍀👍👍

Sad but true Simon! Pretty much sums it up; especially here in the states! And also sad is many family businesses seldom transfer well through the generations of ownership! Garrett has bucked the trend, as well as diversified into other long term areas, to help hold their profitability intact!🍀👍👍

XP Deus 2 Xtrem Hunter is the most recent "kid on the block" for cache detecting! See the 808's occasionally on Ebay, but functionality is a gamble!🍀👍👍

Great job in any case, weather not withstanding! I know what conditions to expect sweating it out at the beach, but not so sure how my body would like hunting in the cold!🥶 Think my joints would be like the Tin Man in Wizard of Oz before the oil! Still would like try it out though!🤔 Sadly, your patented "shovel test"™️, is imminent there, but you've had a banner year!🏆🍀👍👍
