Dain Blackburn Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 I was wondering how the Manicore compares for gold hunting vs the EQX 800 that I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UT Dave Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I haven't heard of anyone nugget hunting with the Manticore yet. But I think until the smaller M8 coil becomes available, nobody will be able to really say. - Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phrunt Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 I’ve found a nugget with mine, I’d imagine it’s a 0.0X of a gram flake, hard to say it’s better than the Nox as I’ve found similar with its 11 inch coil but it’s certainly capable and I’m hoping it’s better EMI handling and higher sensitivity settings improve things. I doubt we will know until the smaller coil arrives,it’s looking promising. I am low on phone data so I’ll put photos up when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynk Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Thank you. Always appreciate your color. Manticore's vs 900's capabilities for nugget hunting will be my deciding factor, so even experience with the 11" coil is helpful. The sensitivity of the 800, even with the 11", converted me from some gold specific machines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
