Manticore: 1st outing. Dont laugh!🤣

[KSDfisher77]

Guys & gals I got out for a hour or so today to try & learn my new Manticore detector.

It was a learning experience for sure, as I dug lots of aluminum trash. The 2d screen is pretty handy, but tones are king.

Well I did manage to find a 1917S wheat penny & a Lil piece of silver, a 1943 War nickel, along with some newer clad as well.

I can't complain, the Manticore is pretty amazing in the junk patch I was hunting today.

Thanks. Yes I'm not picky. I see a lot of guys turn their noses up when they find a wheaty. Not me!
The Manticore seems to really sniff out the nickels too.
I did dig a lot of trash thou, aluminum pop/beer caps. Well aluminum trash in general. I was trying to find some gold too.

Congrats on your first outing finds. I would expect about the same for the first couple of outings. Whats your first impressions of the Manticore? I will be curious what the battery life is like in between coils.

So far I'm liking the Manticore, especially since ive only used it once.

The machine is a lot easier to navigate the menu & use the machine because of this I believe.

I've used Southern Relic Adventures & Mental Metals, custom ferrous program & it's a vacuum for anything non-ferrous. I was a sensitivity of 18 with the M9 coil & it easily goes 8+" just with them settings.

Truthfully I'm really digging the machine.

Glad you like it!

“with the M9 coil….”
Two of the reasons I plan to get a M.

Not bad at all for the first time out with it!!
Wheat pennies are getting as scarce as silver coins now.. at least for me.
Nice war nickel..

Yeah I sure don't find the wheats like I used to. The wheats I find now are usually deep, like 6-8" range.
I should be finding Indians too in my Lil town, but they are few far in between.

I like my wheats thou.

With that said, if did get a wheat penny in change recently and even found one in a small recent coin spill while detecting a local swimming lake about a week ago.
