Minelab Manticore Unofficial Specs And Features Thread

I need to buy some more likes! ?

The whole phase id thing is pretty much just set by physics, though it can be moved around after the fact through processing. But this phase chart lays out the underlying physics. Keep in mind this are not discrete points, but overlapping ranges, as better illustrated by the second chart. The whole small non-ferrous/small ferrous, and salt range basically overlap. Where you set zero is a choice. Most companies chose a spot where most ferrous is below one point, and most non-ferrous above. They key is to remember it is a overlapping mess, not black and white. Nugget hunters generally will dig everything in that range, which is highlighted in red on the second graphic below.

The Manticore target id readings, by nature of the physics involved, will be close to classic White's detector target id results you see here.

From my article here about the salt/gold overlap:

Note that gold covers the full range of the chart, since target id is more about size, than what kind of metal you are detecting.

Just looked over the specs. Going to be a nice machine and powerful. Look at that battery run time 9 hours with a 7 hour recharge time. That's not even a full day of run time in my book. I'll run 10-12 hours at some of my sites and if you forget to put the detector on the charger overnight you're done.

I've put in a question on the ML Manticore page 'ask' window about the audio output options (proprietary?  Bluetooth?  Headphone jack?) of the Manticore.  The canned response upon my submission was that I would get a reply in a few hours.  I'll post here what I find out.

Oops, well, I didn't see the 'specs' tab.  3.5 mm female jack is included, and it doesn't appear there will be proprietary super low latency capability (as with the WM08 on the Equinox).  But maybe they will indicate the latency for the "Wireless low latency headphones".  That was one of my questions.

They neither mention nor show negative dTID's.  Lowest TID shown was in high twenties (lead seal) and highest were low 50's (copper? coin), that I remember anyway.  Mark Lawrie (sp?), the Minelab engineer, said something about he'll be posting some common targets and their digital ID's soon.

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

We dig everything, this is not beach hunting ?

We dig everything too (non-ferrouswise) at the beach. We generally don't find square nails at the beach, but, having better iron I.d. will help us avoid sketchy sounding junk iron that we really don't want to bother with.

https://www.kellycodetectors.com/pages/minelabs-manticore-50-more-powerful-than-equinox/The connectors for charging and waterproof headphones seem to be the same as the Equinox with the same configuration. A similar pair of waterproof headphones to the Equinox’s will be released for Minelab’s Manticore. The Manticore will not have bluetooth capability, and will have proprietary low-latency wireless connectivity only.

Yikes KCo claims at the top of this page that the new detector is "50% more powerful than the Equinox". ? Pretty bold claim. (Sure has 100% more batteries) Bet that gets revised. Also of note are the names of the profiles, definitely skewed toward the D2.
