Looks like it's got dragons, I'm not lion.

You do a search on it and it’s one video after another.

 I sit here singing I got a Tiger by the tail but it’s a Lion ? with a stinger.

Ok sign me up, I want one

Look at the new shaft design, looks telescopic and has proper clips this time.

Looks like the discrimination patterns at the bottom of the screen?  Not the FE-CO of the CTX

So this isn’t a high end Minelab machine then Simon, thought you weren’t buying high end Minelab again? ?

At least it looks like that the Manticore CB side buttons are much better protected than the Equinox ones . Good idea , I had to send my Equinox twice to the after service because of these side buttons ...

I specifically said high end Minelab gold machine, I can't justify 9k for a poor build quality machine.  I can justify 1-2k for one. ?

Sure you did. ? ? ? ? 

Admit it your a detector collector tragic like the rest of us. ? 

You’re going to have to become Durga to swing them all. ? 

Durga

Born fully grown and beautiful, Durga presents a fierce menacing form to her enemies. She is usually depicted riding a lion and with 8 or 10 arms, each holding the special weapon (detector) of one of the gods (Minelab, Garrett etc), who gave them to her for her battle against the buffalo demon (The cupboard).

I would have to become a Durga with one of my arms a Popeye arm, as no way am I letting go of my GPZ. ?

manticore, also spelled mantichora, manticora, or mantiger, a legendary animal having the head of a man (often with horns), the body of a lion, and the tail of a dragon or scorpion.

A dig at the Legend? I think so.  A legendary animal.

They do seem to be fixated on Nokta/Makro according to my interpretation:

M(inelab's)

anti-

CoRe            (early Nokta coin & relic detector).

I am still trying to learn the three high end SMF VLFs that I already own plus the Axiom when it’s released.
 

Manticore will have to wait
