I have been test driving the Double Score and have uploaded 2 vids on my findings. My youtube channel is mowerdog. I don't own a Legend but have been around one. I have owned an 800 though. I would place the Double Score just under the 600. I can tell you this so far. It's a super performer and deep with accurate TID. Watch my vids because there are some issues. But for $400 a person can make it work just fine. I've just ordered a SC24 coil. I think this combo will ge great. The stock 12 inch coil is too big for general hunting.

Looks Like M8's And M15's Are Starting To Appear
khouse replied to phrunt's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
I don't believe any 8-inch coil can be or should be considered small. I mean a 9 - 10 inch coil is a perfect all-around coil size. The perfect "small coil" is around 3.5 x 5 +/- 1 inch. Anything 6 - 10 inches should be considered a general-purpose coil. Anything above 10 inches is a large coil. -

I Think The Manticore Falls Short On Saving Programs
khouse replied to khouse's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
I made mention to one of the testing engineers. He said it has been noted to ML and I'm not the only one with concerns. You can't give us great tools to create awesome programs with basically no place to store them. -
I Think The Manticore Falls Short On Saving Programs
khouse replied to khouse's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
It's been hinted that eventually the Manticore will become the mid range machine. But not being able to save a few global fe/co programs seems a bit cheezy to me. -
Discrimination is time management. Make you a coin program in AT general and hunt. Disc out 0-12, 25-42, 80-99.

Mine looks similar. It feels like hard glue not silicone.

It only has 50 tones. I was hoping for a true 99. The more I fiddle with this thing the more ML didn't go that last 10% in some areas. -
Manticore Screen Backlight And Programs

It looks like you have the blue tinted factory screen protector on it? If so, remove it "mine had 2 layers" and apply the supplied clear protector. -

That will be a scary machine! They'll need to name it something above a beast. Maybe Alien? -

khouse replied to khouse's topic in Minelab Manticore Forum
I love the red on my Vanquish. I just don't understand why the 700 and 900 got it and the M didn't? Unless the actual screen is a different animal not even working with the red? Without the light on in the daylight I can't see anything on the M's screen. I don't remember the 800 being so. I only needed the light on that one in the dark....... -
After having the machine in my hands I will explain what I have found. 1- You can edit and save 4 ferrous limit patterns. These patterns are global. 2- You can customize 1 discrimination pattern for each search mode. This disc pattern is not global. 3. You can save only 1 custom search mode to favorites My critique is this - Why not give us 4 global disc patterns - preset and custom 1,2,3 and 4 just like the ferrous limits? How about a "combine" feature? Why limit it to just 4? When you scroll to custom ferrous pattern 1,2,3 and 4 the front page image doesn't change showing you the pattern? You must open each one up to see the pattern. I consider a discrimination pattern as being both ferrous and conductive disc patterns combined such as on an etrac I would have liked to see the Manticore set up to easily migrate disc/ferrous patterns into any search mode you choose. One other note...... I feel that ML seeing the by product of the height of the newly designed arm cuff made the claim the added height was for ergonomics. The same goes for tilting the hand grip forward a little more as well. The result is the new angle and added cuff height hasn't really changed the combined angle. I'm not bashing here. I like the machine. Possibly a machine that may dethrone what I believe to be the best coin machine made - the etrac.

Personally I like the feel and control I get with an s shaft instead of a strait shaft for Pod grip.

If I learned anything from the photo is that there is a lot of meat in that area. That was abuse plain and simple.

Vanquish 540 With Rnb 6000 Battery Pack, Problem ?
khouse replied to Berniekk's topic in Minelab Metal Detectors
I know this is an old thread but - The RNB was the best accessory I've ever purchased for my etrac. I could leave my etrac in my truck for months in the cold of winter. Then pull it out on a decent day to hunt and the RNB battery was always full. Plus it was lighter making the etrac weigh under 4lbs. I bought the RNB for my Vanquish for the same reasons. Plus taking the rechargeable AA batteries out to charge will soon be a pita. Now all you have to do is leave the RNB in place and plug it in. -

khouse replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
I get that a lot. But your arm in that position won't rub there at all. I tell those buyers if your arm even come clost to that bolt head to send it back. Over 1400 sold without one return. -
Garrett Gizmo Armrest Extension
khouse replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
I'm making them again since there has been renewed interest. See my other post....... I sold a lot of them when the Ace Series was king. Then sales died off through better, lighter and cheaper competition. Now it seems the APEX has the same issues..... -

khouse replied to Steve Herschbach's topic in Garrett Metal Detectors
Steve, That is me.. LOL. I've sold over 1400 of them but the last few years sales dropped from like 20 a month to 12 a year. I don't make any money unless I make 25 at a time. However I have had a lot of interest in the GIZMO recently. So I will be placing 25 on ebay in a day or so. Or just contact me directly mowerdog@gmail.com -
Nokta knows that when you put the customer first profits will follow. I have never seen a company so eager to improve a product using feedback from customers.

I can't use it in the creeks without a small coil. I wish they would hurry up on that..................
