very good report (and success). can you give us your settings.....ie sensitivity level etc...

but TomD stated the Wantacore was a 2 generational leap! lol. I seemed to have missed that you actually had input into the Manticore. and yes 'Retirement' is and has been grand for myself also.

he could have parked all the deposits at a crypto bank, say Celsius Network or FTX, lol

maybe Tom_in_Ca got one early, lol...

"Emergency SOS via satellite can help you connect with emergency services under exceptional circumstances when no other means of reaching emergency services are available. If you call or text emergency services and can't connect because you're outside the range of cellular and Wi-Fi coverage, your iPhone tries to connect you via satellite to the help that you need." just for a serious (like an accident) situation....

Cal, iPhone 14 with the satellite text feature might be a good thing to have on that sort of trip if you're out of cell phone service...

I'm in glorious (but cold) Canada. Was just told by my dealer that he is expecting a Manticore shipment on the 21st (2 weeks from now). woo hoo! I'll do the ~ 45 minute drive over there and pick it up in person...cheers

just looked at my 800's 11" coil. The ears on that are pretty small and thin. These new ones are really substantial and probably less brittle plastic also....hopefully the 700 and 900 mark the end of pod flooding and broken coil ears....

with free shipping?

will be interesting to see how fast the noise cancel is, sounds like a faster (+ more powerful) processor to me....which will veto any possible software update for the current models...

yowza, Mark originally said shipping in November, he was right. I just hope some of the US shipment goes to Canada (Toronto specifically). Manual should be online pretty quickly also I'd suspect...

I hope there's a SW update that goes with a HW update (for original EQ's)

2nd (and real 'shipping') release of M-core....

deja vu all over again...I remember these same questions from the Equinox boondoggle lol

Etrac was a fabulous release. I read about it and boom, I had one in my hands on September 10, 2008 here in Canada. I used it for 3 months as often as I could till the ground was frozen. Did extremely well with it from the 1st time out. ground is frozen here now, so won't be able to use my new M-core till mid-March or so....sigh....

this is similar to my situation with my current motorcycle (Honda CB500X) purchased March, 2021. I always want (salivate over) various new ones that come out! but it just isn't practical especially here in Canada (various egregious dealer fees, very high insurance fees and Canada even charges 13% tax on used motorcycles, pretty bad.... but dang the new ones are very nice, lol.

etrac! was using an explorer and always did poorly with it, it just never clicked. the etrac was a revelation!

also, in my case since I end up going to the same spots over and over I like simply getting rid of trash...

nice finds, I really like finding those wartime tombac V nickels with morse code, “We win when we work willingly”. you should be able to find silver dimes deeper than 6".

well, glad I'm not alone on this. I'll just go back to direct plugin. I really hope the 'proprietary' wireless phones for the Mano'war will be an improvement.

decided to try the wm08 wireless module again on my EQ. fully charged it and kept it in a pouch around my waist to keep it close to the EQ head unit. Getting this annoying signal clipping going on. If I plug in the phones directly nothing....sound is great. I'm running 50 tones. Anyone else seeing this sort of issue? wondering if I have a faulty wireless module.

but I simply can't help myself being inexorably sucked in to the new 'Manhood' marketing hype....I WILL BUY ONE

My Equinox charges up overnight in my car. The hatchback area has a cover (for security) and a 12V socket. If you're car camping you could do the same. The EQ800 comes with 2 charging cables so that 1 can be left permanently attached to the 12V to usb adapter in the back of my car. also, Mark mentions in one of the videos that 9 hrs would be 'best case', with the 'high power' modes drawing down the batteries quicker. If it were me I'd keep a 20,000 mah brick in my pants pocket with a usb extension cable to the EQ charging cable (taped down with masking tape). Funky but you'd be able to finish up a long day.....

yep, expensive here in Canada also but as with my previous Minelab's I'll be able to pay for it with finds. the gold rings I've found so far this year will be good for > $1000 (cdn) of the purchase price ($2079 + 13% tax) in melt value. The rest could be made up from clad finds, as we have $1 and $2 coins here. This isn't taking into account the ability to sell my EQ800 for probably 65% or so of the purchase price if necessary. I will also get the 15% military discount. Regardless, taking the 'Beast' (which is how I'll refer to it) out to my well hunted sites will certainly lead to a lot of fun/pleasure which I would call priceless...cheers

I believe the large red bar under the TID indicates the 'negative' value...
