Best show ever!  The one where he plunks down a handful of muddy coins on a bar to pay for drinks....I'm like "I've did that!!"  😂

Pullleeezzzeeee!

It's a great show - very reflective of a lot of old school UK detecting with the clubs etc 🤣  Not so much like that nowadays with rallies etc but I tend to stick on my own which suits me just fine 😄 

Still no sign of my UK Manticore as yet either, awaiting yet another update from the dealer...

I thought I read they were out of customs and going to dealers.  Maybe that was the EU.

I just finished this thread. Thanks to all ...very informative. I prepaid for my Manticore August 30th through Serious Detecting here in the USA. When the "great News Release Date" early December unveiled the new Nox 700-900s I called Serious Detecting to try to get some answers. I was told that the delay was in customs. I was also informed I was 5th in line of prepaid customers.  That was several weeks ago. So, like many of you I sit here stewing and wondering. On a lighter note, we had a break in the winter weather here in Oregon and the ground unthawed enough to get out a couple of times this week. I saddled up the old nag (my Nox800 😎) And took her for a spin in a heavily worked WW2 site.  The first image is the ring I dug yesterday. The second image is a shot of the new ring with his buddies found in other military sites in the area. I am looking forward to seeing what the Manticore can do above my trusty old Nox 800.

Either you have massive hands or it must have been a children's ww2 camp? Nice finds for sure!

I guess it looks bigger in the photo. It fits my ring finger and I'm average stature. There were 75-100,000 troops here in the desert playing war games in 1943. They were prepping to fight Rommel in North Africa, but the allied forces defeated him right before they finished training. There was still plenty of fighting for them to do. I've been following the paths of their maneuver areas for the past 40 years. And doing quite well.😉
