A Story About The Manticore

[CoinShooter]

Hello to all of you Manticore users,

I wrote a story about the Manticore nearly six weeks ago and thought I'd post a link so you can see some of the stuff that I have found with it. This machine does find stuff, and it goes deep too. The items were all within a month of having the Manticore. I was working an abandoned school lot from the 40s. I have put a lot of hours on the machine and have found other coins and vintage items since the story was published.

If you Google the title, "The Mythical Beast and the Harvest" and the word "Minelab," the story should appear in other places. I hope you enjoy it.

Anyway, I hope you like the story.

Here's the link to it: https://www.icontact-archive.com/archive?c=321494&f=96178&s=102669&m=869021&t=90b4cabee533b419eaf03e6b61c7e438407efa9c7bbadf30b31791b66b8173b7

 

Best to you all,

John

OK....I'm headed north to Pensacola to find that school yard!

Good hunting, John. Nice write up. 😁

Thank you Brad. Metal detecting and writing are my two favorite hobbies so I thought I'd combine them for the Manticore. 

I had the old school grounds to myself for several weeks. An 85-year old gentlemen told me about this lot a few years ago. He went to school there when he was eight for a couple of years. A couple of months ago I drove by the area and seen an excavation crew demolishing the wooden building and I gained permission. As long as I stayed out of there way of course 🙂

Again, thanks.

John

Howdy CoinShooter.Man oh man I really like that watch fob! Did you clean it up or did it come out of the ground that shinny? I'm one of those peculiar cats that has always liked to wear things that I have found throughout my lifetime on my person and clothing.I would surely and proudly be sporting that fob around my fellow fishing fanatics on the river and at tackle shows, that's an outstanding piece in my book.

Thank you sir. Several people love this fob, especially outdoorsman 🙂

I have a homemade electrolysis machine that I use on items such as these. Most things that come out of the ground here in Pensacola need to be cleaned up. 

My wife is a Travel Nurse and are enroute to West Virginia for a three month assignment. I am looking forward to using my Manticore in different soil to see how it performs.

Again, thank you.
