New Manticore owner. Questions.

[jughed440]

I have finally purchased a Manticore, and have since ordered an 8" coil. Can't wait to try it on some new hunting grounds, and go over the "hunted out" sites to see what i've missed. This will be used primarily on 1800's farm and home sites, occasional CW relic hunting with my brother who lives in Tennessee, and maybe do some gold prospecting when I travel to visit family.
Some Questions..
Was an owner's manual supposed to be included?? I have the PDF file, but would like one in book form as well. A free Andy Sabisch book came with the Manticore (Thanks, Big Boys Hobbies). That should be some good reading. I still have his book that covers the Sovereign and Excalibur.
Also, is the software (6.20.0+73) up to date?? I can find nothing about updates on the Minelab site. Every provided link I click on shows "no page exists"
Thanks, and happy hunting!

Jughed congrats on the new rig. Minelab quit putting hard copy manuals in with the machine beginning with the Equinox back in 2018. some dealers would print out a copy and include it with the sale. That eventually faded along with the worry of internal batteries. Battery life was a big concern back then. As far as updates, I can tell you if you scroll through the menu and come to the filter / stabilizer, if its there you have the one and only update that they did. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck.
