    Question on manicore

    The videos I saw that showed the Manticore screen it was mostly giving negative 70s (red line under the numbers) over the nickel and gold ring and negative 50s to low 60s swinging over the nails and silver coins. That is what I have experienced too on shallower ferrous close to these coins...

    Question on manicore

    I don’t know about idea that the audio and visual ID are not tied together. Etrac does not have iron bias settings like these newer SMF detectors. It’s discrimination settings are very granular however and like TNSS showed, those disc settings can be manipulated to make the scenarios shown in...

    Is calabash testing the new xp icon ?

    Both of your linked sources are from mid June, 2025. XP very totally refuted all of the information you posted by July, 2025. Does Ikon 7x actually exist? Yes, but only at the prototype level which means it may or may not actually become a production model. XP has NEVER provided a date for...

    What blurb? The one from a Ukrainian website that had lots of false information?

    Is calabash testing the new xp icon ?

    If Calabash Digger was testing the XP Ikon7X or any other new XP detector, he would have at least mentioned it in a recent video. He has not. Why do you keep mentioning stuff like: "on sale by Xmas"? The last report of a direct email reply from XP about this project detector was clear back in...

    Minelab Gold monster 2000 out today!

    Same results here in the USA. Ground noise, magnetite, hot rock and iron responses are minimized to a very manageable level and are easy to recognize as are small non -ferrous targets. Some have wondered about using this detector for saltwater beaches. It is not waterproof, has no salt or...

    Some reflections on the current state of silver coin hunting

    Capreo, I never had your experience using a CTX 3030 here in Colorado. The ground is just too full of magnetite for the CTX to be as effective as what you experienced. All deeper non ferrous targets had too many ferrous indications or just weren't detected by me anyway. This happened in the...

    Garrett VX9

    What are you upgrading to the VX9 from? No, the VX9 is not equal to Deus 2 and Manticore at least where I detect in higher iron mineralization. However, if you are a loyal Garrett user, it is a big improvement over their previous models and it’s fun to use.

    which has been your favorite garrett?

    Garrett Axiom, incredible build quality, easy to use, light weight and a very effective gold prospecting and relic hunting pulse induction detector. Not having to muscle a 7 lbs PI for hours is awesome.

    Anyone still using the racer or racer 2?

    I owned the Racer, Racer 2, Gold Racer, Multi Kruzer, Gold Kruzer…….Now if I want to emulate the Racer I just put my Legend in 15 kHz single frequency using Pitch tones and I basically have a Racer but with a lot more features. I can do the same thing with the Gold Racer and Gold Kruzer by...

    I emailed Xp yesterday about availability of HF2 coil batteries and charge cable- see their response below.

    Just call out Stan then. Even Stan the Man didn't say what you are claiming he said. But Stan does ramble a lot. Anyway, lots of people find gold rings out here in this bad dirt. Some just get lucky and some work hard at it, fail and others succeed using whatever methods are available on the...

    I emailed Xp yesterday about availability of HF2 coil batteries and charge cable- see their response below.

    Starting at 2:50 or so of the video squirrel 1 says this: "There's some out there, you know, there telling me that they can unmistakably call every d__n piece of canslaw an every d__n nickel versus a gold ring using the audio. Well, more power to them, that's all I can say boys, okay. I would...

    V9?

    The transition from the AT Pro to the VX9 should be fairly easy especially if you mostly hunt in Pro audio mode. For Standard audio hunters, there is no door bell tone on the VX9. It is all Pro audio mode. To my ears the VX9 has even more proportional audio than the AT Pro using Pro audio. Many...

    Tired of digging can slaw and some other trash with HF2 coil. Looking for gold rings ?

    I gave data because I tested your method extensively and I respect your work. Plus, I like to find gold more than I like to find canslaw. I am still a member of another public forum but I don’t post there anymore because many of the responders are simply rude, argue till their egos are...

    Tired of digging can slaw and some other trash with HF2 coil. Looking for gold rings ?

    Audio nuance is more dependable where I detect in higher iron mineralization. The method you are demonstrating is affected too much by the magnetite mineralization here and target ideas can vary even on can slaw when switching between 29, 53 and 89 kHz max frequency. The shift is around 5 target...

    Tired of digging can slaw and some other trash with HF2 coil. Looking for gold rings ?

    Hi David, You have done a lot of work to produce these videos and I think that there may be other target combinations that change or don't change target IDs using the HF2 coil with different frequencies for target recognition since the HF2 coil combined with Deus 2 does not have normalized...

    Manticore for small gold question...?

    Are you asking about using the Manticore in a discrimination "mode" which means not using Goldfield or are you thinking of setting up a custom discrimination pattern within Goldfield? I would not use anything but Goldfield Multi for trying to hit flakes which for me means any small nuggets...

    Here’s what Xp told me today via email on Hf2 coil availability

    XP HF2 coil had the full 50% USA tariff placed on it in June of 2025 because of copper content. USA put 50% tariff on European Union steel, copper and aluminum imports. XP recently negotiated that 50% tariff down to 15% . XP will absorb 5% and pass 10% onto USA buyers. So blaming XP for delays...
