    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    Realistically, real separation is only a few inches deep. The farther the targets are from each other the better. As you go deeper you start to get a blend, as the signal goes from two, merging eventually into possibly one. The VDI will be affected by the other target, the reading on the graph...

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    Yeah, those are great as long as you're not at the beach with 10 foot waves crashing next to you. That's when I'm forced to use my Sun Ray Pro's, or Black Widows, and unfortunately, yes, they do get hot in the summertime, but I do love my Sony's.

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    I'm hoping that my experience is at least three times that, if not more. I'm hoping to see separation to at least 9 inches, especially when the Deus II and Manticore can see a nickel at 15 inches. I'm wondering what is the depth that coins and other non-ferrous targets start sounding like iron...

    (Want to buy) WTB Minelab M8 Search Coil

    I found a coil. Thanks to everyone.

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    I was lucky enough to find and get both the M8, and the M15 for the Manticore. I've been using mainly the M8, yet to use the stock 11", and planning on taking a day and trying the 15 at the beach. I haven't had much time with the Manticore. I've learned all the settings, and read the manual...

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    Don't underestimate the 8" Tornado search coil on the Sovereign. Fantastic coil as well. Better probably for parks and other locations. Just was too small for me searching gigantic open areas of the endless beach.

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    I used the 13" Ultimate on my Excalibur 2 for years, along with the 10 x 12 SEF coil with great results, some of my best and favorite coils.

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    Yeah, I've made some great finds with the Sovereign GT and the 15" Ultimate, but I typically only use that setup after a storm, or giant wave action on the east coast of Florida. Actually, no comparison, but that's a good point. I'd like to compare the Manticore with the 15" coil, compared to...

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    Great idea: 1Mii ML300 5.3 Bluetooth Tx/Rx unit. It works great. Thanks for the suggestion. I also came across a custom cable for the Manticore on Fee Bay that has a 1/8" male connector that also screws right into the headphone port of the Manticore, goes to a small coiled part of the cable...

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    The 10" x 12" SEF was my favorite coil, and used it for years on my Excalibur II with fantastic results. I eventually moved on to the Ultimate 13". I wish they had one for the Manticore. 😁

    MINELAB Manticore Unmasking And Recovery Performance

    I have the Manticore and selling the Deus II's, will never sell the Deus I, or the Sovereign GT, or the GPX 5000. Sold the Legend. Most importantly, get the fullest potential by learning the detector that you like to use. JMO.

    Anybody know when the large/small coils will come out of the Manticore?

    I got the 15", Fort Bedford Metal Detectors. Every coil has their place, even though I prefer the smaller ones. I wish they'd make a 6-7" coil, like on the Equinox. I always loved that coil, same as everyone does on the Legend.

    Anybody know when the large/small coils will come out of the Manticore?

    I'd like to see a 9" coil. Very doubtful that other companies will make coils for the Manticore, but you never know.

    Yes. That's OK, we'll all figure out something. Looks like some already have. 😁

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    I guess I could overcome that by buying a plastic double female 1/4" adapter, and sticking it in a chuck on a mill, indicating it making it perpendicular and center, and finding an End Mill that's slightly greater in diameter than the tabs, and cutting a slot through the center of one end of the...

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    I came up with an idea, so I thought, to where I could find a Double ended 1/4" female adapter, and plug the Minelab 1/8" cable plug into a 1/4" male adapter, and then plug that into one side of the female adapter, that way I could plug my headphones into the other side, but I guess the Minelab...

    (Want to buy) WTB Minelab M8 Search Coil

    Yes it is. If you look at the information on the Dankowski's site, it shows that this coil has the ability to find very small gold, very interesting, but not unexpected. Still learning the Manticore. Not very happy that I can't use my favorite headphones yet, but that's a different story.

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    Wow, that's quite a story. They obviously have some poor management in place. Seems Corporate greed dominates. I've worked in the Aerospace industry for years, and it's the same story of: "Management vs. Engineers". I do love the Manticore though, it's quite a detector.

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    And this coil wire they give you with the Manticore, for me it's useless. Better if they would have provided a short wire with their special connector on one end, and a 1/4" jack on the other. That way I could just plug my headphones into it. Actually, that's a good idea, and might become a...

    WM09 for The Manticore, 700/900, and Xterra Pro.

    No, unfortunately, that's what we're talking about. Minelab wants you to buy another module (WMO9), so you can use the headphones that you prefer. Like what everyone says, for the price of the Manticore the module should have come with it. Like said above, they used to give you the WM08 module...
