  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.
  15. Anyway, I love this site. hello from the bottom of my Brittany in France
  16. Hello Steve, my only problem is '' he arrives when this Manticore '' I wouldn't have him in my little slipper for Christmas because I live in a small town 6 hours from Paris and I guess he comes by boat, so if it officially comes out on 1 12 22 I won't see it before March at best. And maybe even Santa's Kangaroos haven't started making it. Finally, Happy Holidays to all. Ronan
  17. I was afraid of that, and unfortunately it happens' Eric Foster is an extraordinary character, we lose a genius of detection, a founding father. But Eric Foster has gone down in history, that's what makes me happy. In any case thank you for this sad news Caroline.
  18. We will see the MTC in use with the 2-D screen, given that in deep detection it risks interpreting a good target as iron .... I imagine, but I could be wrong. is only speculative, as long as I haven't tried it. But if it behaves like other VLF detectors that's what is to be feared. Well, we will have to learn to manage it.
  19. There is a depth of 50 cm on a 10 ct Napoleon III monk of 30 cm in diameter in the Test Barrel and we do not find them in the field, where are they passed? Indeed there is no verifiable depth, not even on the surface, it remains a trade war. MTC reacts well on lead I hope the same on gold.
  20. Yes, The depth tests of the Equinox / deus II / MTC on the 2 videos were carried out during the DETECLAND in France by the company LE FOUILLEUR whose boss is doing the tests, on September 17 and 18 after the visit of Marck lawrie. I made an excel file to compare in the 2 videos the Deus 2 / Equinox 800 depths and the MTC but they are in French if a bilingual person wants to translate them correctly I publish them.
  21. No, but he's a clever guy, he's a salesman who says to take Equinox and Deus II then MTC on an '''old protocol'' of basic ''General'' program and compare the detectors with the end result of saying '' the Deus 2 is less good '' according to all the tests it has to perform before our eyes. This is reductive, for the Deus 2, as we pointed out to him on Youtubes in the comments, but it was quickly erased. There you go, the MTC is coming, you have to make room for it, just like the field trials with Roman coins and the barrel with a bronze coin at 50 cm with a saturation MTC, supposedly linked to local EMI. I think more that MTC has been pushed to the maximum of its possibilities translating the EMI, since the engineering of the MTC has been redesigned by Marck Laurie to be resistant to the EMI, then why there on a test of great depth it saturates? . Now we are at war Minelab / XP, it's up to us to know where we want to put our money and if the game is worth the candle. I estimate that even 3 small cm more is an object or a ring of 1,000 Euros on the beach that I would not do with Equinox or Deus 2 so I invest. I hope it will have the criteria of Nox on nuggets of 0.25 gr , after in the seabed I'm afraid of whales.
  22. STOP IT! The more I see, the more Im wanting one....RIGHT NOW! too late it's done!
  23. I say that there is a desire to do "extraordinary", that is to say To show that the Manticore finds objects,the romain coins from Constantinus (306-337) is not the hazard if one looked for a POTENTIAL site known to do this. Indeed any detector could have found it given the shallow depth of burial, even a MANTICORE. i'm repet is not innocent this, we dont find the romains coins.
  24. For the depth tests which are in French, to be simple I retain 2 French currencies that you can look on the net to compare them with your currencies: -10 cts Napoleon III 10gr in bronze / diameter 30.02 mm detected at 50 cm. - 5 Fr gold Napoleon III 1.61gr in gold / diameter from 14.4 mm to 17.7 mm detected at 25 cm. What gives me a problem with the test bench is that the Manticore is unstable whereas we have described it as very stable, the seller explains that it is in a disturbed zone, nevertheless I note that the depth is clearly there . I tested Equinox 800 in Airtest in all metals: - 10 cts Napoleon III he detects it at a maximum of 33 cm. ID 23 - Celtic gold coin 1.81gr in gold and silver diameter 12 mm detected at 21 cm Maximum. ID 13 I don't have 5 fr gold but we are about the same weight and size. The purists will tell me you have to compare the same element in the same conditions and I hear them but 50cm and 25 cm on the gold in the video. Similarly I think it is not by chance that Mark Lawrie detects 2 Roman coins, I think there was a desire to do "extraordinary" for this test, because the site was chosen as potential for discovery because 1500-year-old coins are not found everywhere in Europe, it would be too easy, it is said to be 1h30 from Paris.
