First time out with manticore I’m impressed!!

[Mark kus]

I sold my 900 to a close friend and that detector was no slouch i found around 50 silver coins with it since December!
And my new machine came yesterday and I headed right out to my local beach and hit same areas i recently hit with my D2 and first thing I noticed was how super stable the minelab is and deep I was hitting coins Dow 14”+ and they were clear signals my D2 was falsing a lot on the iron but I did find 4 silvers with it on two different beaches I’m not knocking the D2 it’s just not my preference for a beach detector here’s one interesting find I’m sure there will be plenty more I used I think beach general can’t wait to get in the water find some gold hopefully…And a big thanks to Mike “Sube” for selling me the manticore…

Cool, can't quite make it ?? Congrats on the Manticore Mark kus. I hope you have as much if not more success as you did with your Equinox's. I'm still on the fence as far as getting one. The proprietary headphones, the rollout with the dealers and the fact they claimed the extra coils would be ready along with the release of the machine are all bones of contention with me. Meanwhile they crank out new models. To me it looks like Minelab doesn't care about its dealers or the Manticore owners. Sorry for the rant. Again congrats and good luck. Mark

Is that like a baggage or shipping tag? Neat find!!

I completely agree with you Mark Minelab completely dropped the ball on the release of the manticore.
And I waited to find one lucky Mike on forums offered one for sale so I grabbed it.
The coils don’t bother me that much as I have my D2 with the 9” which is a grate setup I just prefer minelabs for beach and water use …

Not sure I have to do a little more cleaning on this one…

Curious, how high were you able to run the sensitivity?

I’ve only had sensitivity up to about 22

Not bad for the depth you were getting. That’s only 2 digits up from factory setting. My soil is more mineralized and have to run sensitivity up almost to 30.

I am very impressed and yesterday I hit this beach which is just 2 minutes from my home and I was digging a lot of coins up no silver but the manticore was nailing small I mean tiny pieces of round aluminum that I had a hard time finding with my pin pointer there should be some silver here and possibly gold .. look how much sand was moved back after the winter storms !

That's a nice cut on the beach.
Don't see that often up here on Lake Erie shores.
I envy beaches like that.

Congrats on the acquisition - I like mine too. . Lots to learn and eager for spring which has been pushed back in my neck of the woods. Somebody in the vicinity of the "SNOW" button heard there was a 3 decades long drought in the Western United States and pressed it so hard it broke in the ON position. Here in Utah, we have more snowpack than has EVER been recorded. And still counting. Great for the reservoirs, lakes, streams, aquifers and such. But it makes getting a coil over the dirt tough.

Glad you're getting out. Look forward to more posts in the immediate future.

Thanks Rich I hope it melts quick for you Rich yes this machine has a lot to use on it! But it’s such a nice stable detector on the beaches I hunt not like the ones down south mine are all filled with red black sand iron and it’s nice to turn on and just go with nothing but GB maybe and noise canceling.
Good luck

Nice to have a go to spot like that. Ground here is still stiff from all the cold weather, hard to get through the clay etc. so digging is tough.
