    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    To stretch the electromagnetic field out to obtain more depth means driving more current through the transmit coil that is basic electromagnetics. it looks to me like the so called 50% extra power is some convoluted method that is hidden in a shroud of mystery. . The so called 50% extra power...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    So it's much more eye catching stating 50% more power sounds better than 10% increase in depth. Sell more manticores with a simple statement. 10% more depth should unlock some deeper targets i agree on that.

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    I watched a video on you tube with the famous Neil jones detecting a tiny silver three pence coin from 13 inches with manticore , in bad dirt too. it looks a genuine video , i am amazed such a tiny silver came out from 13 inches , i thought it was amazing , i never thought it possible to get a...

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    Minelabs top engineer claimed it to be extra power to the coil. The power transmit energy seems not to be increased though.

    Have you ever had hostility from people while You Detect.

    I would be shit scared of those american cops ,They seem to be desperate to shoot people dead. They lift the flap off the top of that holster every time they pull a car over that is scary. They came out to a first amendment auditor with 5 cop cars just for him filming ,looks like there are five...

    Video on power output of detectors.

    So there goes any chances of future depth increases with metal detectors. Limited by regulations . That sucks. :(

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    What would happen if the engineers increased the transmit power by 50% . That would push deeper down surely. Lets say out put transmit power was increased to 2 watts. It would go deeper by quite a bit.

    Doubts over Manticore 50% extra power.

    I watched a video today on you tube , a video that claims the 50% extra power claimed by minelab for the manticore is BS. All metal detectors are limited to 1 watt of transmit power by law it says. I have head some say that manticore is no deeper than the 900. I wonder if it is all a con to...

    Anyone still swinging an Impact? Are you thinking of an upgrade?

    Not many seem to sweep impacts for some reason. Snap crackle and pop audio same as the audio on the nokta machines like anfibio etc really i hated it .Legend Audio 50 times better.

    My Legend's First Time Out

    I have both books. Clives book is more "hard core" legend andy's book is basically imho a glossy rehash of the user manual plus a few bits extra. A soft read. Both worth reading but clive's book i prefer.

    Manticore too deep for Park Detectorists?

    Just don't let anyone see the open hole. Many don't like to see the open hole , they think it bad. Ru digging the field up!

    Equinox 900 vs Legend

    We don't get discounts here in the UK. Price fixing is the norm. I might get a free carry bag at best and pay full price.

    Manticore too deep for Park Detectorists?

    I was watching a video of a guy hunting a park in new york with a manticore , The guy was digging 1 foot + deep holes , and the holes were wide, really wide. I seriously think this detector might be too deep to use on parks and sport fields . A man approached him asking him what he was doing. I...

    Have you ever had hostility from people while You Detect.

    I hunt soccer fields with a JCB . How else could you "dig the field up" .
  18. The Coin Magician

    How many remember the very first detector you started the hobby with and how long ago ??

    I think it safe to say we all found MORE with the early detectors (back in the day) than we do with modern machines today. I think most might agree. I remember fields carpeted with literally thousands of coins.

    Detector Testers On you Tube are Going Nuts.

    Talking about paystreak , he is posting Video's now of absolutely disgusting sandwiches that he makes. I can't imagine just how he swallows that shit. His guts must be similar to a cement mixer!

    Have you ever had hostility from people while You Detect.

    I would like to know if anyone else has met hostile people while you Metal Detect. I find dog walkers to be mostly ok , but some Dog Walkers have been hostile and one maniac wanted to punch. Don't get me wrong 99% of people are Fine with me detecting but i have met Nasty Dog Walkers . Nasty...
