First Hunt With The Manticore Gets Some Silver

And the more you use it, the more you will like it.  It seems to be better than the 800 in moderate black sand but nothing will be as good or better than a PI in the black.  If there had been foil on your beach, you would have heard it.  I got two silver dimes and a small gold ring on my first hunt with Manti back in Jan.  When in the right mode, it is indeed a "Beast"!

Thanks Joe, I have a lot to learn about the Manticore but I was very encouraged from my first use of it. I hardly even paid attention to the 2D display since I'm not used to having one. Using this detector in a target rich environment after some sand movement is going to be awesome.

Nice job and write up, thanks for sharing.

Thanks Dan, I hope to be posting about some epic hunts this winter with the El Nino impact.

I suspect the black sand was hindering the M15 coil as it's a good coil in the right conditions and noticeably deeper than the 11".  Great you've got yourself all rigged up to go with a Manticore now, sounds like you'll do well with it.

Thank you Simon, I believe that you are correct about the presence of mineralization affecting my test results. That's encouraging and I will do some additional comparisons in other locations.
