Popular Post UT Dave Posted March 5, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 5, 2023 Been getting silver almost every time out with my Manticore so far, even at the park. But I've mostly been on the beach where I have consistently been getting Mercs. Yesterday just a '47 Rosie, but still silver. Today, I got my first gold with the new machine. A very solid two way 25 that wasn't shifting. Just 25, 25, 25 both ways. Showing 6" deep - which is kind of shallow for good targets on this beach and that's about how deep it actually was. I'm pretty sure I've got a nickel down there. Nope! 14K white gold, 6.4 grams - it's tiny, barely fits over the first knuckle of my pinkie, but I'll take it. And just to keep the sliver streak alive I guess, I also pulled a very tiny, ornate little silver ring. Not stamped, but the acid turned red and pretty much all silver comes out of this salt black - the below was after some electrolysis and silver polish to take down the black to more of a gray. It started as a much larger black encrustation that I suspected was silver due to the 80's it rang up and because it was black not green. Until the acid turned a nice blood red I still wasn't positive though. - Dave 29 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21990-first-gold-with-my-manticore/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick N. MI Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Manticore is doing a great job. If Minelab fixes the iron false problem I'll probably get one. 1 1 Link to comment https://www.detectorprospector.com/topic/21990-first-gold-with-my-manticore/#findComment-235858 Share on other sites More sharing options...
