  • The Ability to Customize Ferrous Limits and Profiles Is Where the Manticore Truly Separates Itself The Ability to Customize Ferrous Limits and Profiles Is Where the Manticore Truly Separates Itself
Style: Manticore Detector Only
I have spent a lot of time metal detecting and average around 20 hours a week swinging a detector. I have used several different machines over the years, and the Minelab Manticore is hands down my favorite detector I have owned. There are plenty of detectors that can find targets, but what separates the Manticore is the amount of information and customization it gives you. This is a machine designed for someone who wants to understand what is happening under the coil and fine tune the detector for specific environments. Pros: The biggest advantage of the Manticore for me is the ability to customize profiles, adjust ferrous limits, and modify the audio. I do a lot of detecting around the Great Lakes region where magnetite and black sand can create extremely difficult conditions. Many detectors struggle because good targets can get masked by all the mineralization and chatter. Being able to open up the ferrous limits, adjust tones, and create specific profiles allows me to pull gold and silver from areas where other people simply walk over targets because their machines are either rejecting them or they cannot interpret what they are hearing. This level of customization is where the Manticore really shines. The 2D target identification screen is another feature that is hard to appreciate until you use it. Instead of relying only on a number, you can look at the target trace and combine that with the audio response to make a much more educated decision before digging. No detector tells you exactly what is underground, but the 2D screen gives you a lot more information. The separation on this machine is fantastic. Although the included 11-inch coil performs great, I find myself primarily using the M8 coil. I really like the target separation it provides, especially in trashy areas, and I am still impressed with the amount of depth I get from an 8-inch coil. For the type of detecting I do, the M8 has become my go-to setup. The waterproofing was also a huge factor for me. A lot of my detecting is around lakes, beaches, and in the water, so having a detector that I can confidently take into those environments is extremely important. The overall build quality is exactly what you would expect from a detector in this price range. It is lightweight, balanced, collapses easily, and is comfortable enough to swing for long hunts. Cons: This is not a detector that I would recommend buying if you have no intention of learning the settings. You can absolutely turn it on and find targets, but the real value of the Manticore comes from understanding the adjustments and building profiles for your conditions. The price is obviously high. There are great detectors available for significantly less money, but you are paying for the ability to extract performance in difficult environments where many detectors start to struggle. Bottom Line: The Minelab Manticore is not just powerful because it detects deep. What makes it special is the amount of control it gives the user. The adjustable ferrous limits, custom profiles, audio control, 2D target identification, and coil options allow you to build the machine around the environment you are hunting. For someone who detects casually a few times a year, it is probably more machine than you need. For someone who spends serious time detecting and wants every possible advantage, especially in difficult mineralized ground or water conditions, the Manticore is incredible. ... show more

  • Great detector
Style: Manticore Detector Only
What more can I say? I have the XP Daus 2 and this unit, and both perform well in different situations. Currently, I prefer the Manticore when detecting on the beach. I have already discovered many silver coins with it. I also want to try out different coils.

  • Minelab has stepped up there game with this machine
Style: Manticore Detector Only
I have been metal detecting since I was about thirteen years old. I truly love this hobby! I currently own three machine the Manticore being one of them. Each machine has its strengths but they are all good. I have found that a lot of the time success means getting out and getting a metal detector over the target, a lot of the time it is just that easy. Previous to this machine I had the Equinox 800 and that machine was incredible. This machine is a lot like the Equinox but it really feels like Minelab has taken this machine to a level above the Equinox. To me this machine feels like a cross between the CTX3030 and the Equinox 800. It has a very bright very readable color screen that brings all of the data to the forefront as you detect. The menus are very user friendly and very easy to understand. The machine itself has a lot of complexity to it, but I was able to take it out and start finding targets with only one or two adjustments. Is it deep? Yes. I have found targets with it in areas that I have covered previously with other machines. Many of the at 8+ inches. Can it target separate? Yes. It is very good at picking good targets out the trash. I believe it would even be better with the smaller M8 coil that has come out recently. The one feature that I really love is a sort of target trace that draws out the target as you pass over it. Not 100% accurate, but it does it’s best to give you and idea of what you are about to dig. (But you never really know until you make the time to dig. You miss all good targets you don’t dig! ;) Overall it is a clear, concise easy to learn and use machine. It has a lot of power and a lot of potential to find those deep targets and the ones that have been missed over the years as they have been masked out by trash. And on top of all of that I have found it very fun to use. ... show more

  • One Big Flaw
Style: Manticore Detector Only
Overall good detector, albeit somewhat pricey. Good sensitivity, easy to use, and the mapping is accurate. After learning what I'm looking at on the display, I can now easily identify most common objects. Battery life is good, and if you are going to use it all day, you can actually run it while it's plugged in to a small power bank. Good ergonomics, comfortable handle. Biggest gripe - the carbon fiber shaft, which is a joke. I ended up with carbon fibers in my hand the first time I used it. Shame on Minelab for choosing such a garbage quality shaft. The fibers are fully exposed, with a rough feeling. Ya it's light AF, but who cares if your hands are itching like poison ivy. And I'm sure it's a health issue too. I fabbed up my own aluminum shaft, and it's almost as light and doesn't have any of the carbon fiber issues. You hear that MineLab???? Ok rant over, the only other thing I don't like is the membrane buttons. They WILL eventually fail, membrane pads always do. And I'm sure I won't have an easy time replacing it. But hey, it works great, and for now I'm having fun. ... show more
