Wanted to mention that before you enter into the menu you can adjust your Sensitivity setting by just hitting right and left red arrows. I forgot to mention that in the video.
THANK YOU ! I was on fence between manticore & deus 2. My holding point was I didn’t want to have to take a college course in computers. I currently own two Garrett’s (at pro, at max) so I’m NOT coming from an equinox background. You do make it look less intimidating, again thank you
Smells like retired bacon. Throw those Garrett's out in my dumpster.
my pleasure, glad it helped.
Thankfully, the Manticore seems quite a bit easier to operate than the Deus2 How would you compare the 2D screen to the CTX3030 screen, either one have any advantages over the other? I know the CTX is one of your favorite detectors, so you would be well qualified to compare the two. Thanks.
Manticore is pulling ahead in my IMO. You get the best of what we liked before with so much more information and options. Plus, its a lighter and much faster machine in general.
Just got my Manticore last week, then off to the coast of Maine. 3 rings, 2 earrings, silver chain, and a link of a gold bracelet. It took me a good couple of days to get a solid feel.
I will say the M15 is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at finding quarters. I was finding quarters down 12-15" in dry sand ( which eventually became wet ). Sensitivity was around 20/21, in all metal setting.
This machine is absolutely insane, well worth the money IMO.
Very nice!
Excellent! Thank you for the great tutorial.
You're very welcome!
Very well produced video and extremely informative, well done!
Im currently using the Deus II, however from the video’s appearing now the Manticore seems to be edging ahead,,, albeit, I guess we must wait for the long overdue update from XP until we can truly judge…. between these top level machines.
I still love my D2 so while the Manticore maybe edging out the D2, it doesn't edge the D2 out on everything.
What I like is you can turn it on and go. and once you start getting a good feel for how it works. slowly start adjusting the settings for finer tuning. There was two reasons why I did not go for the 3030 one price and two all the features it has, Scared me from buying it. Not saying it is a bad detector at all. as I have heard a lot of good stuff about it. Other then most complained about the weight. This Manticore really seems very much an all around great detector. Thanks For the run down on the Menu...
and I'll add one more thing.. its a joy to swing. I its feels great and you know you have a great piece of tech in your hands.
Scott....just wondering if the Manticore tones are the same as the Equinox? AND, why would Minelab launch a Manticore along with an Equinox 700/900? They should've concentrated on the new detector (Manticore) and get them out into the public's hands instead of Equinox!! And, why not do a software update for the 800? I doubt the vibrating handle was necessary, do you?? Just a battery draining feature!!
Tones are similar. I have no idea why they released the 700 and 900. As far as the vibrating handle, I haven't turned it on yet. :-)
Thanks 👍
Welcome 👍
They have created a great detector, lots of tech and power in an easy to use package!!
You got that right!
Is the manticore worth the extra 500 it costs vs the 900?
Manticore is def better, worth $500 more...? I can't really answer that.
Will you be able to use the computer to set thinks up then transfer machine like the ctx?
No that is not a feature of the Manticore and to be truthfully honest you don't need to.
I just got mine …. It should be fun to use
Give it some time to learn but its one of the best out there. You made a great choice.
I loved my CTX except the weight. Very heavy. I hope to be able to get a Manticore. It looks amazing.
Good choice!
I've noticed too that the depth meter seems to be more accurate on the Manticore. If it shows five bars, it is at least 9-10 inches down, two bars 4 inches etc. Can't wait the spring to come, Iowa winters are cold and long.
Thanks Kenny yes it punches deep and if the depth meter is full you know its down there.
Good video as always, the color display is nice, so do you think they will add 4K, that rocked for me on the nox with the 6 inch coil. I am still having a lot of fun with my Deus 2 😀
You should be fine with 5k vs 4k you will still hear the same targets.
I appreciate these short videos. One step at a time. Keep them coming. Thanks.
You got it!
I think that will be my next metal detector
Hit up John at Fort Bedford he'll take care of you.
I love my CTX3030, but it’s heavy. I wear the pro-swing harness to make it easier. I’m a disabled veteran, and it kills my back. Knowing both machines as you do, is switching to the Manticore worth it? I understand personal preference, but the I’d love a lighter machine that offers close to what the CTX does.
It was a good time.
From what I have seen so far, Minelab really got it right with this machine. Minelab just seems to be the company everyone loves to hate.
Unfortunately thats where we are today.
Browns 13 Ravens 3
Ahh so you assume I'm a Ravens fan? #funny I'm probably just as happy as you are.
@Mental Metal Actually I think you told me your a "Stellars" fan.....I mean Steelers.....plus I couldn't think of anything else to say...
actually I'm not a fan at all for any of them but the Browns beat the crows so that makes me happy #goMichigan
Very helpful…. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure
Scott, I’m still waiting for my manticore, anticipating that I may be getting a call from my distributor soon. I was wondering if you could give me your overall impression at this point, of the manticore on the beach, and if possible, some basic settings for beach hunting that I can start with. Thanks very much!
Haven't hunted with it on the beach sorry. I wouldn't be able to give you sound advice. Check out some of Calabash's videos he's had it on the beach.
That's why I subscribed to you're videos. Very knowledgeable break down step by step information . Can't wait to start my new hobby. Just have to wait til the ground thaws out.
That would have been nice for sure.
Marry Christmas to you and all the family have a brilliant time and a brilliant new year keep safe see you at the next brother tezza 👍 👍
Same to you! Merry Christmas and thank you.
how long does fully charged battery last , and how long takes to charge ..?? thanks
Taken from the owners manual: Going detecting with a fully charged battery
is recommended. Typical battery runtime is
approximately 10 hours, it takes about 7 hours to fully charge. (page 13). Hope that helps.
Just want to thank you for saving me a bunch of time! Just got my machine and sat down with a pad and paper to write down the start up steps, turns out the machine walks you through it and if not for you id be lost!
Glad I could help. Thanks for your pledge over on my Patreon group. I left you a message. I appreciate the support. Thanks again.
Fill up the tub with water and sink it , look for bubbles before the warranty expires.
I'll let someone else take the plunge first.
Six months and they will bring a new one out saying that the new machine is better than the Manticore
Evolution maybe..?
Thank you for the lesson, I just got the manticore a week ago. I like to do beach hunting, unfortunately I live about 5 hours from the beach. I plan on watching all your manticore videos in order before I am able to go the the beaches again. Hopefully I will be well armed with the information I need to have a great opportunity to find some treasures. Just having the knowledge will be enough so thanks in advance.
Also I live in Nevada and travel to SanDiego to hunt with my nephew. Any beach advice would be appreciated.
There are a couple of videos in my Manticore playlist with my beach settings. Its pretty basic setup but it works well.
@@MentalMetal thank you, I watched one of the videos and have all the settings and also learned a lot just putting all of your settings in my manticore. Thank you so much, I look forward to trying them out. Also am continuing to watch more of your videos.
After watching a few other manticore vids, it looks like ML added some new, improved functionality to the Pinpoint feature from the original Nox series too. 👍🏼
Seems to be more precise on the Manticore.
@@MentalMetal yes….the VDI while in pinpoint mode on the manticore will also change when you swing over different targets….The Nox never had the capability to do this.
Yes you are correct I just noticed that yesterday and I was like, "thats pretty cool" thank you sir for pointing that out.
I detect with Iron Bias at zero with my Equinox 800. In general, do you know how that relates to the Manticore Ferrous Limits settings? If my goal is to not risk target masking and I am willing to dig some nails, would I go with no upper and lower limits, nothing grayed out (if that’s possible)?
You have the similar all metal mode (horseshoe button) that will allow you to hear and see everything. The screen discrimination patterns is lightened so you can still see where you would be hitting on the map but the audio and mappings come through. Hope that answers your question.
I got the Manticore yesterday. Amazing easy menu system. But I do also use the ctx and Manticore a lot more easy. But feels they are in the same family 😅. By the way. Thanks for your nice introduction. As always 👌
Glad you like it.
Ok my Manticore arrived yesterday. Thanks for the contact at Fort Bedford they are a great to deal with. I am about to go watch your videos again and take it out Monday. Any advice that did not make it into your videos yet would be great. Thanks again.
Cool congrats. We just had a workshop in Patreon yesterday and I think there was some new things that folks took away. I would focus on the basics and learn 1 program for a couple of weeks and listen to the tones. The 2D map is a tool but not 100% accurate.
Thanks Scott! Merry Christmas & happy new year!
Thanks Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too.
thankyou for this great video very helpful
You're very welcome!
Kudos for having a clear, stable, camera view of the screen as you went through the menus.
