Minelab Manticore - First Impressions!
Episode 2-22
• Minelab Manticore FIRS...
Looks like one unbelievable machine. Minelab absolutely rocks.
Thanks for sharing. Waiting for mine to get here. Can't wait!
Nice silver. Like the video on showing the settings too, tone, depth, 2D screen! I love the ease to move around the control pod, set up, light weight, cuff adjustment, tones and more. Hope to head out for 3rd swing tomorrow. Great vid. Thanks!
I'm looking forward to getting my hands on a manitcore ❤️ new to your channel and really enjoyed it 👍🏻 thank you for sharing. Merry Christmas ⛄
Oh yeah I’ve been looking forward to this video 👍🏼
Ok so it took me a little while to finish this one since I’m at work but from what you showed it does look like we’re all going to get a chance to pull more goodies out of our old spots we’ve hammered. That’s great news because I’m running low on good sites lately 😂 be interested in seeing how it handles bedrock and hot rocks.
Great vid. Appreciate the glances of the 2d graph.
Good video, thank you. I,d like to suggest you bring along the legend and equinox to see if they can hit the manticore targets. Thanks again
Really good demo. The machine looks really cool. New sub from the UK
Good job on the video, the fact the manticore is finding targets on hammered spots is good news, now i will have to rehunt so many sites
No doubt yes it is very impressive so far!
Great vid, can’t wait to get one 🏋🏻♂️
mine is due in mid week...........thanks for the vid...........good spinning
Very good video. You are progressing nicely with unit.
It's been fun using it so far and it has been very impressive so far, but sooo much more testing and comparing. Thank you for the view and comment!
Great video Mark! The machine is quite impressive.
Thank you Larry!! So far I am pretty impressed in every way. I definitely feel like I got my monies worth but much more testing to do for sure. Having fun with it so far! 😁
@@BrassMedic When I get mine I’ll have to pay you a visit.
@@mrlarry999 I hope so. That would be awesome!!
I typically use Pitch/PWM on the D2, which audio theme on the Manticore is closest to that D2 audio. Thanks again for the videos.
Strange that all the people putting reviews on about any new detector say how fantastic it is lol really ! are they maybe saying that as they have just been given a free one ? I've been detecting over 30 years and personally most of these reviewers haven't got a clue what there talking about or just out and out taking crap to sell them . The best detector out there is the one most understood by the user .
I've been using a bounty hunter tracker 4 for a few years now and I've found a lot of stuff. I've finally saved up and I'm going to be purchasing one of these very soon. I took all my non silver/old coins to a coinstar and got over $300 and a lot of them were spit back to me because they were so degraded. So I got about $300 off the manticores price ;)
Very excited to revisit old spots and see what I've missed
Will be a huge difference in technology and capabilities as well as a much more pleasurable and experience detecting. I'm excited for you! Don't forget to do the software update. Best of luck with it and thank you for checking out this video and for the comment!
Waiting for mine to show up. Looks like it will be a nice machine. The light is a nice feature too.
I think you will really like it. As far as build quality and design goes, it's a masterpiece and feels worth the price tag. Still trying to size it up against the other Powerhouse machines but so far it looks very impressive! Hope you get it soon!
I like your method of keeping your pinpointer from being lost using a lanyward. Do you have a video or picture showing your finds pouch setup and how the gear you wear? I'm just using a Garrett finds pouch aligned to the right side of my hip and I hold my small Lesche digger and garrett pinpointer in my left hand while detecting with my right hand..
Nice machine and video.
Dang man you got the Core hecka early! This 2D screen is going to be great out there. The 3030's 2D screen was is super accurate so I'm hoping this is as well. I'm hoping for a sizing pinpoint feature in one of the updates.
Yes, was fortunate to get one that early! She said I had one of the first factory units in the USA. I do like the 2D screen and find it very helpful, another powerful and useful tool in the tool box! I like the vibrating handle too. Between the tones, the 2D and the handle, lots of very helpful information about the target. I will ask and find out about sizing in a future update. I have many more trips out with this machine before I ever consider leaving the CTX at home. We need to compare signals dude!! Let's get out soon!
Great Video I’m looking at getting one. Up grading my e trac. What’s your thought on up grade
I answered you on your other video you commented on. 🤠
Great video and awesome token find at a site that's been hammered. The small silver was certainly impressive. You made a brief comment about nails. Were some of the square nails coming in as iffy good? Certainly happens with the Equinox.
Thank you! Yes I'm going to release another video tonight or tomorrow talking about the nails. I've only really experimented with one detecting mode so far which is the deep high conductor. Spent today trying to learn how to avoid nails but all machines hear them so if there was some way to get it minimize digging them, it would absolutely be a game changer! Thanks again for the view and comment!
I like vibration mode. I hope it is more accurate,positive and stronger than simplex.good for noise areas.and in deeper murkey water.and out in field to notify you when you aren't watching coil.
Well to me, it's another form of senses we can now use to detect. Now we can hear (sound), visualize (2D graph) and feel a signal. So ears, eyes and hands. I really like the feature and will absolutely use it all the time. Thanks for the view and comment!
Thanks for that detailed video, gets me excited to try that detector. Would you consider running a nox 800 next to it on the same target to see how the nox compares?
Take care
Hi, Yes I will absolutely do that as well as head-to-head with the XP Deus II and Makro Legend. All these videos are coming soon! Thanks for the view and comment!
I have a question if I'm not mistaken you said you noise canceled at the beginning of the video if yes why is the Machine in a constant whine or hum?
Nice video, still have my minelab xplorer II for like 15 years and still working with no issues, changed the coil for a 15 inch butterfly and got me a sun ray target probe coil I still remember the day I went to the shop and got it for $1000 cash cause they were selling the business to someone else, lots of money back then but really worth it i just wish I have more time like I used to to go out more often, kind of hard when you live in CA and need 2 full time jobs to keep up with the bills 😆... thinking on buying another one but can't make up my mind on wish one should I buy next but I will definitely get another minelab, thanks for the video again.
I also have an Explorer and still finding silver. I think the Equinox is much better. Certainly lighter
My buddy has an explorer and out detects me so badly. He knows it like it's an extension of his body and with the Sunray probe he has 5 targets out while I'm on my first. He refuses to upgrade because they don't have the probe lol
@@waynep2123 That’s interesting. I have an Explorer II too. Two years ago, I was outperforming my detecting buddy who had a Garrett AT pro by about 3 to 1. He went and got an Equinox 600 last year and out performed me by about 6 to 1. I’m going to get a Manticore when my dealer gets them in stock. I did get a Nokta Anfibio Multi last year, but I just couldn’t figure it out. It goes really deep, but I just couldn’t get through the iron. 90% of the Anfbio targets were either iron or pull tabs and I couldn’t distinguish between good targets so I just wasted my time digging mostly junk.
@johnfrei5576 it's not the performance of the machines really its just he's nutso fast at recovering targets. He also knows his machine to the point it seems like he could tell you the date on the coin lol
Off all explorers , you had the best i think .
The expl 2 is a amazing machine.
It surprised me often with its depth on the smallest of items ..
And on the wet salt sand too, just really deep man ,
The tones of the expl 2 are just so smooth , perfect .
If minelab made that machine over , and put it on a straigh shaft wthout changing anything except making it a tad faster in recovery …
I would buy one again ( if i could )
Period .
If I haven't heard that being said before. Oh this detector is so great. I don't know how we previously missed that target. There has been a lot of different detectors here before. This place has previously been ponded to death. I call BS!!! It's never hunted out. you're just not finding it.
My buddy and I have been hitting a tough old baseball field on and off for two years. it's a huge field. Every type of trash and iron has been dug out of that place YOU NAME IT!. Previously detected by many detectorist for many of years. Yet we keep finding silver coins and other neat relics here and there. Its hit or miss using the same detectors every hunt there. You guys crack me up with XYZ detector isn't good enough now, obsolete, ZYX misses so many good targets. because there's a newer model out now. It was the best detector 2 months ago before the NEW XYZ hit the street. You can have the very best latest and greatest tech in your hand but if your mind, eyes, and ears are not working together that day. Guess what? you're going to miss targets every single time you go out detecting then find them on another. will I buy the new xyz detector yes. Will I be impressed with its technology maybe. Is it the reason I've missed several targets that my detecting partner found that I just walked over? NO!
Our montra is dig it all right? What do we need more then location and depth? No gimmicks is what
Thanks for this video. Looks like you got a sweet machine!! I would like to see and equinox vs manticore shootout.
Yes, I will be going head-to-head with the Equinox 800, XP Deus II and the Makro Legend! Look for these videos all to drop in the next few days!
@@BrassMedic I'm excited to watch!
I enjoyed your video
Nice job
How can the iron at 4:30 give such a good and high VDI reading, wish you would have dug that just for seeing what it is.
One thing you will notice with this machine (VERY similar on the CTX-3030) is a delay in the signal getting to your ears on iron, as compared to the immediate audio response you get from a coin or conductive target like brass, etc. Many have already commented on my videos and others that they don't "need" the 2D screen because they can "hear" iron. This is what they mean. Can't go back in time or even remember exactly which target that was to dig it, But . . I am doing an entire video on the Manticore where all I do is dig iffy signals so we can all learn and see if something good pops out that was right above, below or next to iron. That video will come this next week. Stay tuned. Thanks for the view and question!
I’m hoping for a software update before my Manticore arrives. To help the iron falsing issue demonstrated by CD on smaller buried iron - that I’m sure your aware of by now. I mainly hunt colonial sites carpeted with nails & iron. Iron falsing may never be completely mitigated but definitely needs improvement.
@Ytcoinshooter You need to watch my video I uploaded today! ua-cam.com/video/qSD_9VCkXkE/v-deo.html
It's been a year, did they ever get this update yet to match what the ctx had as mentioned at the end of the video?
Regarding the signal you had at 5:21, how can you tell that the big piece of iron isn't masking something below, or can you tell? Do you think the Manticore would tell you if there were two targets, one below the other?
Great question, can't go back and dig it unfortunately as I wouldn't be able to find it again. I will be digging lots of iffy signals in a video dedicated to just that, digging iffy signals! Hoping to see some good items come out of the ground masked by co-located iron targets. Also will be going head-to-head with the Equinox 800, XP Deus II and the Makro Legend. Stay tuned for these videos coming over this next week. Thanks for the view and comment!
CD showed Manticore hitting gold ring under bottle cap...
Good job detecting no music, detector audio and you thx
I don’t understand why they didn’t make it with and “S” shaped pistol grip shaft like the Vanquish and the Deus. I think they are more comfortable and ergonomic vs a straight shaft. Less strain on the forearm imo.
I don't mind the feel of the grip or arm cuff on the Manticore it is an improvement over the equinox. It's hard to compare the XP Deus to anything for comfort because it is so extremely lightweight that stress is not really as much of an issue. Thanks for the view and comment.
I know but I that you were impressed with the 2D image, but I wasn’t. It’s early to evaluate this machine, but for $1600, I want to see something more impressive than what I’ve seen so far. I’ve seen about three or four videos so far of the new minelab machine, I’ll hold off and make a determination later, after I’ve seen quite a few more trials.
I come from the CTX (untold 1,000's of hours on that machine). So I am used to glancing at the XY screen on this new Manticore machine there are 3 very useful tools at our disposal to evaluate a target. Firstly a terrific audio section that let's you really tailor it to your preferences, secondly that graph and last but not least the haptic feedback from the vibrating handle. It's kind of like saying your used to using your cell phone just to talk but it also does text, apps, etc. I see the graph as an important and useful feature. I don't have a grasp on any of it yet as I have only had it out 4 times and all in one mode. I can't give any kind of opinion yet except to say that I feel like it is worth the $1,599 price tag in both build quality and features, hoping in orlerformance too. But yes I am impressed with that graph and was on the CTX as well. The Deus has a similar XY feature as well. I ubde stand it's not for everyone. After a very short while I never even had to look at my screen on my CTX because I felt like I was hearing in 3D! Thanks for the view and comment!
Hey, reat stuff! thanks for sharing your digs. I suggest you adjust your camera outward a bit, we see your knees while you are assessing items in your handjust barely out of the camera range. Keep shinging.... T
Yes, I agree . . . so absolutely annoying!!! I am not going to be using the chest mount anymore, just wish I could have a camera person (or crew) follow me around!! 😛I will sort that out and not post crappy angles and shots anymore. Thanks for the view and comment!
Have you hunted deus 2 much? Which do you prefer
Absolutely! After just a few trips out now I already prefer the Manticore and I am not alone on that sentiment over here. I have two buddies who have thousands of hours on the XP Deus II and they both already jumped ship! The fast mode and high conductor mode are what they like and both mentioned that it swings better, more comfortable than the Deus II as well. One wished he had a 9" coil for the Manticore but I already prefer the Manticore, the real test is when they go head-to-head and I will do that video on Sunday! Thanks for the view and comment!
@@BrassMedic I will stay tuned for that video. You’re the first person I’ve heard to like the ergonomics better. I usually hunt in beach or park I’ll have to check out some videos on the two modes you mentioned. For me the biggest advantage over my nox would be if it handles emi a lot better
It's so funny how every video of this machine I keep hearing on that's a good tone then refer to the 2D. Why again do you need a screen to tell you what you are hearing. No screen will substitute my ear especially when it's such a good tone already.
An OG statement, I can appreciate that and totally know what you mean. However we now have the ability to hit 3 of our senses with the detector as we hear the tones, see the graph and feel the handle. Together these are features add to connectivity to the items in the soil. All of us veterans on here who put the hours in will agree with you but this machine could be the first step in a whole new direction in that we can see shapes. Maybe nothing you care about yet but I do see the value of that 2D graph and coming from the CTX and Deus II I have already been looking at XY plots for a while now.
Is the wireless module of the 800 compatible with the 900 ??
U think it performs better than the CTX3030??
Great question! So I own both and have many countless thousands of hours on the CTX-3030. I like the CTX-3030 in a virgin site where no detector has ever been, it will quickly find the goods. But head to head against the Manticore in the heavy iron, the Manticore will hear targets the CTX-3030 can't. Especially with the M8 coil, a high recovery speed and in All-Terrain Fast. Thank you for the view and comment /question!
Yeah, never know until comparisons from Equinox and Deus 2 are made.
This is true!! We will absolutely do those tests. I have all of those machines as well as the Legend and Equinox 900.
🤣 Same machine as Ctx and 800. Just a new screen! Had them all all. 2 800s 2 600s and a CTX! Just upgrades guys! I want a Real Waterproof Machine!!! Let's see as I've ordered a new 900! Water hunter so I dont need screen! 😉👍👍
I see NOTHING that would make me want to waste my money on this machine. My Equinox 800 does the same exact thing. It mostly depends on the operator.
If you can't come up with the money, i get it. To say this is the same detector as the 800
. is a joke. I think you have another think coming.
Do you have threshold hum on there, if so I think that would be distracting to me.
Yes I prefer it and am used to it but it can be turned off. Some don't like it and I get it. But I am used to it and find it a valuable tool to know when I'm in an iron patch. That's only because I hunt mostly relics in Iron. If I were in a park, I may not run it.
That silver looks like pigion ring norm has a number on it
I don't need those gimmicks to hunt ...I hear all those things naturally... The legend imo is king ., and experience OBVIOUSLY
Sensitive
Hi. Thank you for your video.We'er Minelab dealer in S.korea.Can we edit your video as a short video and upload it? Of course, the edited video will show the source. Thank you. :)
Yes please refer to my channel
@@BrassMedic Thank you for your coperation. :)
Sounds like the manticore is finding all the junk the other machines ignored...
Waaaaay too early for a statement like that. So many other modes, patterns and audio profiles to explore. Don't sell your self short on this machine based on my video, could be right or it could be the best machine on the market. Time will tell. I have many more outings with the machine this next week where I will get a better feel for it's capabilities as I go head-to-head with the Equinox 800, CTX-3030, XP Deus II and the Makro Legend!
@@BrassMedic trust me i know. I was joking
I was hoping that there would be at least an opinion (of the machine) at the end of this video..
Sorry it's just so early for me in particular to weigh in heavily with an opinion after only 4 outings. One thing I do feel comfortable saying right now is it's worth every penny of its $1,599 price tag as far as build quality features and the performance I've seen so far. I don't feel like I overpaid at all for what I got. There's so many good machines out there I need to do some head-to-head testing on targets, I hope to be able to do this soon and make a video of it when I do. Thank you for the view and comment!
Not another video with sensitivity very low (why) its range is 0/35 so its been run at just over 60% of its range why is no one running it higher.🤔
I have been wondering that myself buddy. Even on a clean beach I've only seen it at 23 max.
I worked on a video earlier today where I ran the sensitivity up to 30 and compared it to 22 and then to 24. Will get this footage up asap. But I can tell you that in the heavy iron with sensitivity at 30-35 this thing is an screaming banshee, a whole lot of tonal information coming in to the point of where it would overwhelm folks or at the very least cause ear fatigue. 30 was about as far as I dared to take it in the heavy iron. At a park or the beach, a whole different story! After a few hours of trial and error I chose to run it at 24. I compared a few deep signals heard at 30 to see if still detected at 24 and they were still detectable. Another issue with high sensitivity is you lose your gain or depth audio that you can clearly hear at 24. Depth audio or gain is not for everyone but I have always found it useful in parks to listen for deep coins (hoping for silver).
@@BrassMedic So this so called 50% more power is only about 10% more power if sensitivity is only able to be run at 65% of its range.. I can run my Equinox at 24/25 at any site, so thats over 95% of its range so there is going to very little to gain by upgrading to the manticore so its not for me..
@@paulmartin3946 Yes its not going to be a big step up over the equinox 800 to be honest, and if you have the 15/12 coil on the nox its going to be deeper than the manticore if it can not be run with high sensitivity to gain max depth..
@@martinsmith2984 l have one on order but I'm still not certain if it's going to be the game changer it was expected to be. This sensitivity aspect concerns me somewhat.
The manticore makes finding and digging targets ONLY harder and a waste of time IMHO
"good for one"....free video game 🤣lol.
Just kidding of course.....cool find😁
The sound of this detector is such that the batteries are dead⚡🔊🎶🎵
@07:20: looks like an old lead hem weight folded in half.
Could be! I'll unfold it to check. 😁
Your mom: My first impressions.🤣
Not sold, me stick with my nox 800. Save your money.
Things push up from the earth over time *
Lol it has a flashlight?
Yep! Why not? 😜
The price of the Manticore is BS!!!!!
2 Grand? I'll pass
Cool detector but save yourself $1000 and buy the Nokta Lagend pro kit and you will not be sorry !!!!!!!!!
That target your called to be 7" wasn't even 4".... This machine is All gimmicks
Those gimmicks are a distraction from your natural skill set
Way to noisy and way to much information. Just take an old type metaldetector that just beeps when there is a good item. That all you need to have.
I find a target and dig it in seconds.... You spent so much time finding simple targets because of a gimmick interface....js
Not impressed we hear the same claim about any new detector. Look what was missed before by all the detectors for over 40 years .... just a bunch of hype . Just looks like a glorified Equinox . The Equinox was always overrated .
I hate pin pointers
Sorry about that! So annoying on video... I'm going to tame it way down in volume for future videos. I did some fancy EQ work using a spectrum analyzer and different frequencies to try and bring it down a bit..
Wow so selfish. Pointless
No clue if what you mean by that. Perhaps more details?
