Those are really cool! What kind of coin is the bug coin? If somebody made that out of a nickel they are flat out a 1st class engraver.

I know some people couldn't be bothered to dig nickels.  But I like digging them.  And the Manticore really does have a stiffy for nickels.  I've been hitting really nothing but trashy pounded park turf this summer.  And the Manticore is really scrounging out the clad from the trash.  But the way it says "Nickel" is like it really has the hots for nickels.  With all the hours I've been putting on it scrubbing the turf, I'm calling them at over 90% accuracy anymore.  Quarters are the only other coin as easy to call with the Manticore.

A little over 400 nickels (by weight) with the Manticore this summer.
