Just watched a Minelab Australia video saying across the board price increase of approximately %25 for all metal detectors.  Manticore is listed in Aussie dollars, same as Canuck dollars as $2199.  New price January 1st. $2699...

This was brought up  couple weeks ago. It will be interesting to see if it boosts Minelab profits or reduces sales so much that it adds nothing to the bottom line.

Here are the U.S. increases:

Minelab Gold Monster $949 to $999.00
Minelab SDC 2300 $3499 to $3599.00
Minelab GPX 6000 $6000 to $6499.00 ($500 price increase)
Minelab GPZ 7000 $8499 to $8999.00) ($500 price increase)
Minelab Manticore $1599 to $1699.00
Minelab Equinox 900 $1099 to $1149.00

I'm thinking it will be option #2 Steve! Minelab pricing for the most part is already on the upper end of comparable equipment from competitors... if they wanted to give someone a very good reason to look elsewhere for equipment (looking at you Deus & Nokta!) then this rumored hefty price increase might just be the excuse to do it! I really have an incredibly hard time understanding why Codan / Minelab does anything the way they do... from outward appearances it simply seems to be a horrific way to run a company! They seem to have a good group of product engineers and developers but downstream from there it goes seriously sideways with that company!

You know, I was thinking.

If they release an update before Christmas that solves all issues it has... Make it out perform Deus II where the Deus shines, and have a new button function that pulls the  target out of the dirt for you.

I might be able to put my nose back in joint, before Christmas ?
