Rick N. MI Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 "Interesting observations I've been meaning to share/impart: Mode differences whilst hunting in thick nails: All Terrain High Conductors = Overall.....less sensitive to iron. More iron falsing. Deeper. Unmasks slightly better. All Terrain Low Conductors = Overall.....more sensitive to iron.,.,.,.,., yet, with better iron ID. Less iron falsing. Not quite as deep as All Terrain High Conductors. Adjacent target separates slightly better. Both Modes have/present virtually no 'conductive blind-spots'. In other words: both Modes are very sensitive to BOTH: high conductors AND low conductors." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSPR Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 There is some good information on the Manticore over there. I've pasted some settings and suggestions mentioned there into a text file for quick reference. That forum is just so hard to read, though, even on the proper settings.

Rattlehead Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Seems like about the same differences on higher weighted frequency vs lower weighted frequency programs on other detectors. Deus 2 - Deep HC vs Fast Equinox - Park 1 vs Park 2 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 Nasa Tom knows that manticore inside and out it seems. Nice to hear the info from Tom who is part of the Minelab team, and is a detector expert!. Anyone know if Steve H has used the manticore? I've been out of the hobby for the last 2 years, Im way behind on whats been happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaSon Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 He has tested and written a ton of info over on his site. Very helpful tech info. Between this site and his all I need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you have to understand that his testing conditions are some of the mildest ground and beach in the country. His settings and results are going to be different than yours.
