Minelab Manticore Metal Detector with M15 and M8 Coils

Coming from the Nox 800 it hasn't been too much of a pain to learn. Not as bad as it was going from the AT Pro to the Nox. After 5 years or more with the 800 I had it dialed in to where it was impossible to be fooled by iron of any kind. Granted that was WITHOUT the update that had the new F1 feature. That ruined the machine in my opinion. Had over 1000 hours on it before I tried that update and it was indeed garbage. Now with the Manticore I see I have so much more to learn. More features, more to learn. The 15 inch coil isn't as bad as I thought it would be to swing. I swung it for 3 hours straight the other day before switching to the M9 coil and it wasn't that bad at all. That's all I have for now.

My Manticore metal detector with two free coils by Minelab arrived promptly. I ordered two, one for myself and one for my detecting buddy. The folks at High Plains packed our equipment with care and shipped it out so that it arrived in time for us to use them that weekend. The machine is a beast! A real game changer over my previous detector. We couldn’t be happier.

I was on the fence for a long time about the thought of upgrading, since I already had an Equinox 800 with every available accessory. The staff at High Plains is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions over the phone and through many emails. They were able to put together an amazing deal on the Manticore and several coils and accessories that I could not pass up. It felt like Christmas when that giant box was delivered! The Manticore is finding deeper and older targets on sites I thought I had cleaned out with my Equinox. This machine is a game changer! Thanks HPP!

Manticore is finding treasure.
