  1. If the phenomenon is linked to the fact that Manticore is a machine hyper sensitive to magnetic waves, I would be quite curious to know the reactions of the Equinox 900 to the same tests if anyone has the opportunity to try. This will not revolutionize the planet of course, but will join what Mark Lawry said ''more power = more false signals and increased sensitivity.
  2. listen as soon as I receive mine I promise you I'll try it next to the coffee maker to see if it makes hot coffee, THANK YOU Minlab.
  3. you paid for new so you must have new, otherwise it is called ''deception'' and depending on the country is liable to a court sanction. Kisses to our star Lil-Croft.
  4. Thank you Phrunt and to all of you who posted about your experiences with Manticore, I want to take it but I hesitate the price in France is 2,000 euros, it's still a nice sum. I work on a soft ground without exaggerated mineralization for the relics and beach. Compared to the Nox 800, the 900 and the Manticore have stability problems although the Mc firmware apparently corrects it without altering the performance in depth, at least that's what the sales representative in France says. I also see resale of the Manticore on online sites, the question I ask myself in relation to some of your posts is: 1- is this in relation to the fact that the Manticore is complex to use like the Deus II and that there is a lack of patience from their users in front of an exceptional machine above the 800 or 2 - the Manticore has disappointing results given the false signals. although the firmware comes the right way. the seller in France lets ''for now'' hear a commercial Flop compared to Déus II that I had. I like the Minelab concept with the horseshe such as the Nox 800 and what I like may not please an XP pro and I would be the only one to make the decision, so your multiple opinions interest me because on DP there are multiple types of users and it may be one of his machines to be given a chance.
  5. meteorites are ferrous and therefore react to magnets, this would give you a first glimpse.
  6. I think that as detectorists we want updates to our devices, we want high-performance equipment at a lower cost, this is the trend that emerges. Some companies have made it their credo, ''the detector where we listen to the customer''. Behind this, we also understand this desire to hook its customer to a product to stand out. But you have to look at the fabric of the market... produce and improve metal detector software at a high cost for these companies in an engineering investment, which costs more than machine tools or local skilled workers. Each of them have advantages and limitations. Minelab has investors to whom it must be accountable, Makro Nockta has a cheaper labor process and a copyist tendency that avoids engineering costs, XP relies on the lightness and aging of the material with updating free day. Each of them exploits a vision of their equipment according to their financial commitment and profitability and this is how we must think about the updates of our detectors. Minelab is the king of the market in terms of sales volume with the African gold market in its head and will produce "successful" material so as not to have to come back to it, which is not in the DNA of its competitors who have understood this operation, but on the other hand produce smaller volumes and are ''closer to their customers''. Although when some for the Nox demanded refunds because it misdetected silver objects Minelab were forced to look into the issue for fear of lawsuits. We are going today towards customizable detectors at will, it is not impossible that tomorrow we will have bi-technology PI and VLF.
  7. thank you Daniel for this feedback, I work hard too and I feared for my Manticore expense. I am both reassured and happy with your results on this type of site, I have the same very searched sites and I know that in depth there are some left. So you and Abenson make me happy.
  8. Tom Nasa says Manticore is excellent on the beach, better than D2, which is already better than 800. Now with you Abenson the find is on a gold ring that sounds ''generally'' good for any detector, D2 is less good on small gold objects like a small ear clasp. Can also be your beaches haves not of iron compared to the tests of Calabash D. At 13 inches the 800 technically would have heard it, actually "by sound", TID i dont no.Thank you for this communication, since the CD tests I hesitated to start.
  9. Thank you for these men George, I went to see and I found the feat of arms with General Lafayette, it is this side of the detection which forces respect and the memory of his men. Likewise in 1944 there were little guys from your home who came to our house saying ''Lafayette here we come''. Respect also for this friendship dating from the advent of our republics. ronan
  10. In these Christmas times, your vision of the Cessna reminds me of the story of the Colibri. "There was a gigantic fire in the forest and all the animals had fled except for a small animal, the Hummingbird, which went and came back to the forest from a pool of water where it drew drops. The others asked him, 'What 'is what Hummingbird does'' And when he had an empty beak, he answered them ... well I'm doing my part.
  11. We can only conclude that the first arrive by plane in the first world delivery. Thanks for the information...
  12. My dealer in Paris told me this morning that he will receive two and that he will make videos. I think there will be some for influencers in priority so videos on the beaches, fields, gold zones without delay while waiting for the destokage And hoping that they go by plane at least for the first customers.
  13. But Simon, that will only make two good news at the same time, the same but twice in a row! the account is good.
  14. Haa Steve I love you, I love you at least as much as Santa's Kangaroos. I called my dealer today, he told me to receive 2 manticores without delay to make videos and I think by planes so it would be possible before Christmas that they are in my little slippers. Thank you for the info.
