I’m a master of misdirection and deception. The problem is it’s me I’m deceiving when I say I’m going to hang things up! I am thoroughly enjoying retirement though, but there are one or two things I’m interested in still so……. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also getting some heat from his subscribers on his iron falsing problem and he's not in a good mood about it. What are we going to do with him? Yea it's his way or the highway. At first I thought there might be an issue in iron but after watching a few of his videos in the iron patch I don't think there's anything wrong with the Manticore. He doesn't interrogate the target enough or recognize what the Manticore is telling him. Many people have made comments about things he should try and he simply refuses to try most of them. Having used Minelabs since the Sovereign days, I'm well aware of the nail problem they have and after enough hours on a machine you start to get the clues that a target is iron. The Manticore is going to have a learning curve just like every other metal detector, you can't be an expert over night on it. The Equinox literally took me 200 or so hours of using it for me to finally feel totally comfortable with it in iron. Hopefully it doesn't take that long on the Manticore. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I tried to give CD a home and some cover here, but it could not last. He and TN took exception with me at about the same time, so they will not be appearing here. I’ve been scrubbing the forum of their posts ever since, but still some cleanup to do on aisle three. So “we” are not going to do anything, since it’s long since done here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for all the drama, ya'll, but I can't afford to lose that much money and I was getting seriously concerned about that happening. They must have contacted him because I did finally get a nasty message saying my order is now cancelled and oh, by the way, there will be a $40 cancellation fee next time (no mention of that on his website). Next time? Dude! Not if you were the last MineLab dealer on the planet! I'll get myself a sand sifter and a shovel if you're my only option. Now I get to stress over it for 3-4 days waiting for the refund to show up at my bank. ? Not to mention the fact that he got an interest free loan from me and I could have been on someone else's list weeks ago. he could have parked all the deposits at a crypto bank, say Celsius Network or FTX, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll leave it at that. 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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me and that first 150 to 200 hours was with iron audio ON. If I had just hunted with iron audio OFF (using Nox 600/800 default discrimination patterns) I still wouldn't have a clue about what was iron or not............. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times did Steve H. say that the Manticore was basically an Equinox 1500 on this site during the initial roll-out???? Steve H. is not one to go out on a limb about stuff like that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
