Hunterjunk Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Approaching 40 hours beach hunting with the Manticore . Starting to like the machine and have some faith in it . Still using stock programs as I consider myself to be a babe in the woods still with this machine . Reread the manual last night and it all makes more sense now so will start playing with a few settings . I am really liking Beach Deep , with the All Metal horseshoe on . All Metal is giving me plenty of info about bottle tops , to the point now that I really don't have to dig any more of them . Depth on the beach is great , and battery life is good with 5 hour hunts barely moving the battery level indicator . Would feel even more confident about the machine if I could just blood it with some gold but it's pretty scarce around here . Photos of various hunt results .

TampaBayBrad Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Lookin' good....gold will come for you I hope. It's tuff passing up those sinkers, huh? Try prospecting audio theme if you haven't already along with your Beach Deep. I like it, but run Beach Low Conductors. I have experimented with Deep, but NASA Tom says for wet sand he uses Low Conductors so I keep thinking he must have his reasons for not using Deep instead. Who knows. I may switch it up some more, still getting familiar with the options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hunt wet sand mostly and even ventured out into knee deep surf using Beach deep and still finding it usable , a bit noisy but real targets stand out . Will try your audio suggestion . Plenty of learning left in this machine yet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
