People just didn't get the handfuls of silver they thought they would Manticore deus 2 or legend some day they will make a game changer don't matter what you have now .
There all so close in performance the problem is what's left in the ground is not coming out easy .
I will swing the d2 till something catches my eye .lol. sube

I have the Deus 2 and have hunted with it a lot. I got the Manticore and find that as I hunt with it I have been paying attention the the second screen. While doing this I have found more rings ( bling rings ), but I have found a 14 kt Gold ring with it also. I find that hunting with the Manticore and paying attention to the second screen it does make me hunt slower, but I am finding things I have left behind.

I'm not so sure Sube. After hunting the same parks, the same area's, I did pretty good with the silver, Ihps wheats, tokens and old nickels with the 800 when I started hunting those parks in 2018. I would average 15- 20 silvers and a fair amount of other old keepers. Fast forward to Dec. 22. I bought a 900. The one park the only silver I got was a war nickel in Jan. of 23. The other park I got a 56 Rosie, a war nickel and a pretty nice shield nickel. I did find some clad and tokens from those two parks but nothing to post about. Next Sept. of 23 I decided to give the Legend a try. Good machine, but almost took a skunk a couple times from the park where I have found most of my silvers for this year. The other park I got a couple silvers but I didn't see enough in performance that made me want to head right back for another hunt. Dec. of 24 I buy a Manticore. Got a few silvers from local permissions. In the new year I started hitting the old parks. So far I've got almost 40 silver, 75 wheats, 4 Ihps over a dozen Buffs, tokens and a half dozen Vs. So you tell me, did I all of a sudden become a MD guru or is the Manticore doing what it was intended to do and pick out deep/masked non ferrous targets. I think option 2.
I have since sold the 900 and have the Legend up for sale. To me the 900 was a lackluster performer, the Legend IMO is a better machine but the Legend can't touch the Manticore in performance. For those who haven't read any of my posts, the parks I hunt were declared on life support by the old Mdr's that had been hitting them for 10 years back in 2018 when I started hitting them. So to see these kind of finds still coming out of these parks speak volumes about the Manticore. Good luck.

But you have the manticore now don’t you mark? How has it been since you got it in your hunted spots with those prior machines? Is the manticore pulling anything up that was left behind?

Pete, I answered but let me elaborate. All my silvers have come from these 2 parks, the majority from the older park. To include a Walker, a type 1 SLQ, 2 Seated dimes, 4 Barber dimes, a bunch of Merc dimes, 2 GWs and a half dozen war nickels. And all have been with the Manticore. The first Merc and the 11 inch Ihp were with Recovery on 4, the rest, I took a page from your playbook and was using Rec. 7. So far masked silver outweigh deep silver I have found. You have my number,when your ready to be humbled let me know. Just don't pick too hot of a day as I'm old and all I have to do is blink my eyes and I start sweating like a whore in church. Was it you that bought the Manticore for 899 ? Good luck. Mark

lol, it’s gonna be a hot one this upcoming week, I don’t think I’ll be going detecting after swinging a saw in the the bucket all day in that heat..Yea, I couldn’t pass that deal up, $899 was a great deal and curiosity got the best of me. Tracking says Tuesday delivery,,I’ve watched so many videos of that machine ,I was just being cheap,,had to many high end machines and it was hard justifying another grand or close to it. But I’m looking forward to getting it out, and I’m probably 40 min from you so I might come in down to Pittsburgh and give it a go. Thanks for the heads up Mark!
 
I know a lot of guys don’t beach hunt saltwater because your not near it but that’s a whole other way to learn your detector guys that do know more plain and simple about how the targets sound and react with iron.
The Manticore shines there for me

Hard to argue with these results…. You have done well with that Manticore,
Are you using the stock coil?
I am assuming these older parks you are using it
at have years of modern trash too?
