    The New Garrett VORTEX VX9 Just Got A Whole Lot Better!

    I owned and eventually sold a company manufacturing scanning and optimization systems used for sensing and evaluating random materials for creating custom and standard sized products, truly a great comparison to metal detecting, (use a sensor, evaluate the feedback, make a decision, use lots of...

    Manticore loves iron

    I owned a v3i when they first came out, lasted about 6 months..... at that time there was not enough users to provide meaningful information about the unit and the Whites manual was an atrocious POS.... I flamed badly.... it was to complicated and without a fundamentally sound manual which it...

    Beginner but serious with a hunting goal. What are excellent detectors to go down 24” deep? Thanks in advance for solid recommendations.

    Is the chest all metal, how large. What general area are you looking. The ground mineralization in the location you are looking will have an affect on depth as iron mineralization is like looking through fog... in low mineralizaiton areas may not be much of an issue at all. VlF detectors and PI...

    Beginner but serious with a hunting goal. What are excellent detectors to go down 24” deep? Thanks in advance for solid recommendations.

    24"? That's pretty deep ... what are you looking for? Where do you plan to search? mineralized soil or fresh or salt beach or?, how big of an object do you want to find at that depth? A bit of clarification related to your goals and where you are might help people give you some insight. My...

    3rd hunt with new Manticore

    Yes, I can see the iron and the good target, Iron generally smearing down from the top and the good target nice tight ball on the conductive line further to the right (high TID). It would be great if the screen could show relative position of the targets but no joy on that front. I run low and...

    3rd hunt with new Manticore

    Have you experienced any pinpointing issues? In my old park covered with nails (I sometime pull 3 rusted nails or bits) from a hole and am having a difficult time with the accurate pinpointing of the good masked targets. I dig where it appears to be, only to find the iron, then re-sweep and the...

    Gratifying Sunday Hunt

    I bought the 9" and love it. It goes on my machines when I have relativery clean ground to hunt. Very light. It doesn't have the separation of the M8 tho and so right now it hasn't been on my machine much as I am working a small 30ftx 50ft patch of ground with alot of old rusted nails mostly...

    3rd hunt with new Manticore

    I have done. The only thing I noticed when doing so is that targets disappear. I think the issue is there are so many nails co-located that they are pulling the position of the good target away from where it really is.... I am not against lower sensitivity, I have been running it soft (ie 20-25)...
