    3rd hunt with new Manticore

    I have recently been running the "freestyle" program settings, I am impressed with its ability to handle high sensitivity settings in iron infested sites. I have an 1840's park I hunt that has been pounded since the days of the first metal detectors and so good targets are few and far between...

    How I Came to Love the Beast

    I wonder if it would be useful to use the Rich profile to help with depth ID

    Backpack for the minelab Manticore

    I am looking also, One option I looked at is a softside tactical multi-rifle drag bag. Many have the main compartment seperated by a layer of material so I was thinking about detector on one side, spare coils/rods on the other. Many models have molle straps and/or built in pouches on the...

    New Manticore Settings

    Start with All Terrain General, noise cancel, ground balance and let the fun begin... it has great startup parameters for park coin/jewelry... I ran it there for the first 5 hours or so, then began tinkering a bit. It works great, this forum has lots of great input to help you as you get...

    Is this a geode?

    Looks like petrified wood, maybe a tree branch, all the geodes I have seen are crystaline interiors, but not a rock collector so there could be variations....

    Question??

    I love my M9, light and effective. I switch to the M8 in heavy trash and think it will be great when I get around to nugget hunting, not looking back any longer.

    Manticore over E-trac

    I have been hunting alot with my manticore set to all metal, threshold on, iron vol. 0.... eliminates the ferrous audio, theshold lets me know there is iron under the coil .... I like the way the audio is working, quiet most of the time until there is some thing conductive under the coil (I am...

    Needing a new Shovel

    Went with a predator barracuda. No regrets at all. 36", reasonably compact shovel, T handle and I think now I am really glad I purchased the footpads. They add a bit of weight, seem a bit overpriced $32/pr... but are a little wider than the step on the shovel so work really well and are very...

    Manticore over E-trac

    I sold my e-trac for esssentially the same reason, heavy mineralization or lots of iron trash and it not only didn't run with the big dogs, it didn't even get off the porch......

    Manticore over E-trac

    If found the audio on the E was "tuned" to scream silver, it was a no brainer when silver showed up. The Manticore may be able to do the same, I am just not yet familiar enough with it to have played with the audio tuning yet. I have full faith that the Manticore will on average outperform the E...

    Orientation of the M15 coil

    Has anyone experimented with flipping the M15 so that the short end of the coil is forward and the long end facing backwards to see if it balances better and does it still perform as designed. When I looked into this there was some comments that the manufacturers designed it long end forward (as...

    Full Member 50 Author Report Posted just now Today was the first day I got out with the M9, pretty much ran all the same settings altho did spend some time with recovery speeds as something I hadn't noticed befor showed up. When hitting a target the with the m9 it sounds off twice...

    Shovel

    I have been "semi-retired" from metal detecting for the last 5 or 6 years, which is probably why my Lesche lasted so long.... The predator looks awesome tho and is 6" longer which is what I really needed
