    Manticore loves iron

    The only times that I dig iron or steel by accident is when they are at edge of detection depths. Otherwise, iron and steel targets that are mid depth to shallow are easy for me to determine by their audio responses, intermittent red numbers and target traces.

    Manticore loves iron

    Did you have iron audio turned ON?

    manticore

    Sube might be correct for where he detects. He is definitely not correct where I detect. Handfuls of silver keep coming out of the ground for me using the Manticore and Deus 2. They make a great combo. Manticore especially with the M15 coil is simply deeper than Deus 2 with any coil here. Deus...

    Why no 9 inch coil?

    I I'm almost 70 and coil weight definitely matters to me too. The LG30-12X9" coil is a lot lighter than the original Legend LG28 11X11" coil so my reference to lightweight is compared to the 11X11" coil which plenty of new Legend owners have never experienced. Weight difference is almost 2...

    Question??

    Minelab had a plan based on the Manticore target IDs and they incorporated those IDs into the Equinox 700, 900, X Terra Pro and X Terra Elite to make them all uniform. I had a long phone conversation with one of the Equinox engineers in Australia. He said they just wanted to go in a different...

    I was wrong about the Manticore.

    I was wrong about the Manticore too initially. I didn't believe that I had missed much of anything after using the Equinox 600 and 800, Nokta Legend and Deus 1/ORX along with a V3i, DFX, Etrac and many, many others. I just figured that Multi IQ+ was more of the same and since I didn't care much...

    Why no 9 inch coil?

    The Legend has two 9" coils already. The LG24 9.5X6" that has already been mentioned and the LG30 12X9" coil that comes stock with the 2nd gen Legends. Both are really lightweight and work great. So, I don't see any reason why Nokta should make a 9" round coil just to be like the Manitcore or XP.

    Look What He Got Me

    I agree with T-DUB, the General program right out of the box is outstanding. Try the default PWM audio type. If it drives you crazy or makes you laugh uncontrollably like it does me, try Square and Hi Square audio type under the Audio heading after navigating to the Options menu (top left...

    Deus 2 HF Coils

    Like Gary Blackwell said in his first HF2 video, the HF2 coil is obviously a gold prospecting coil. Hopefully the HF2 coil is going to really bring Deus 2 up to the level of the Manticore as a gold prospecting detector. Put your Manticore and Deus 2 in their SMF gold field modes and test the...

    Deus 2 HF Coils

    If you don’t want the tiny bits, just set the max frequency at 24 kHz or a bit lower.

    Deus 2 HF Coils

    For a gold prospector using a PI or VLF detector, a 0.5 gram target like an .177 air gun pellet would be an easily detectable target. Not tiny at all. Tiny for us is a sub 0.1 gram or smaller target like a #9 shotgun bird hunting pellet. Right now, a 0.5 gram nugget is worth $50, so definitely...

    Deus 2 HF Coils

    XP deliberately setup Deus 2 to be slightly insensitive to really small targets using the FMF modes. One of those FMF modes is a designated gold prospecting mode. So poor sensitivity to targets smaller than .3 grams and gold prospecting or micro jewelry huntingin mineralized ground/beach without...

    Anything new from Minelab for 2025?

    Minelab Goldmonster 2000 was announced last week with shipping in October (Spring in Australia).

    Manticore’s strange reporting on a $10 target

    Even though those quarters were machine wrapped there is still space between them. Audio like that is a “tell” for me that there is an unusual target under the coil like a chain, broken ring, an odd coin spill… The video you posted above shows some of your settings. The horseshoe button is set...

    Manticore’s strange reporting on a $10 target

    I’ve been spelling English language words for 64 years and I still need a spell checker so time detecting isn’t necessarily proof of being an expert on every situation. The keyword in your post/video is “expect”. You don’t need $10 of quarters to make this “problem” occur. $2 of quarters will...

    Garrett Vortex VX9 may have major flaw(s) with latest version software.

    I got to include a little gold prospecting testing on the VX9 and I will do some more. Gerry and some of the other Garrett Gold Challenge participants got to tryout the VX9 for gold prospecting and they liked it a lot. So did I. It is easily better than the AT Gold and Apex for gold prospecting...

    Deus 2 HF Coils

    This was an introductory video with a little information about the coil and a lot of suggestions about where to use it besides gold prospecting. He said twice in the video that most of the video was about coil stability testing on three scenarios, wet ploughed fields, wet pasture and wet salt...

    Garrett Vortex VX9 may have major flaw(s) with latest version software.

    Our club also has a VX9 at the request of Garrett so that we can give them feedback. I also got to test a friend’s VX9 for a week just after it was released. Garrett has a ways to go software wise and they are well aware of that whether they publicly say that or not. I use my Equinox 800...

    Garrett Vortex VX9 may have major flaw(s) with latest version software.

    I agree with you about being able to choose an earlier software version like V2.07 for the VX9. Your other “Beta tester” point is misleading at best. The original Equinox 600/800 had 3 online software updates, Deus 2 has had at least 7 software updates, the Nokta Legend had 9. So French and...

    Manticore over E-trac

    If you are mostly looking for high conductors in mild ground, using All Terrain High Conductors will stabilize mid to high conductor targets ids a lot. That even works for me hunting in high iron mineralization. I use ATHC momentarily to double check target ids when I’m mostly hunting in AT General.
