I have a manticore for myself and purchased two equinox 600’s for my 14yr old and 9yr old sons. After finding a 1798 large cent down about 12-14” and seeing my oldest son slump his shoulers in frustration I gave him the manticore and I used his equinox for the remainder of the hunt. He proceeded to find a musketball down around 12-14” where the good/old targets were hiding and despite my best efforts I was supremely frustrated with the equinox. Maybe I didn’t realize how spoiled I have been but I felt horribly guilty that my sons have been, for lack of better words, wasting their time with the equinox. My oldest has a birthday this month and I have a nokta legend on the way for him so fingers crossed it is a better detector than the eq 600. I guess I was expecting the manticore to be only slightly better than the equinox but it is literally 3x the machine in every way.
