Would have been terrific to see the nails and flat rusted sheet metal pieces swung over at the same time as the other bigger iron items. Appreciate the videos. On the fence to buy a Manticore. I have Legend with all the coils available and Minelab Equinox 800 with 3 coils. Trying to justify the Manticore. I am also in N. California. Close to Chico area. Got burned out of Paradise in the Camp fire. Have started over in a new place and been researching the oldest original spots. I am making some great finds on one location right now. Great fun for sure. Happy detecting!
You will do just fine with the Legend and the EQ 800. Sorry to hear you we're a victim of the Camp Fire. So many friends that were as well and a friend of my cousin passed away in that fire while trying to find my cousin. Very sad. That's always a great strategy to try and find the earliest (oldest) sites. I read about your other finds in the comments of the other video. Terrific, must be exciting every time you go there. Thanks again for the view and comment!
I enjoy diggings picks, axe heads and even shovels here from the California Gold Rush. Some of them are very collectible too! Certain stamps from blacksmiths and merchants. Thank you for the view and comment!
Both are incredible machines. I definitely prefer the tones, the user interface and the depth of the Manticore but big difference in price! Thank you for the view and comment!
Found a great buckle in unbelievably awesome condition today from Bondy Brothers today circa 1851 Really cool, I'm stoked . Love your direction and would like to have you join me at some private property here in CA Gold Country. Im 200 miles south of Hangtown in the foothills. Talk soon!
Awesome!! Would love to see that buckle! Can you email me a pic or two of it? Treasureboxguy@gmail.com Would be excited to get out with you for some detecting! Thank you for the view and comment and offer!! 🤠
@@BrassMedicI emailed you some pics of the buckle and found something else extremely rare since then. I've only been dirt fishing since May and your instructional videos are really paying off. Looking forward to your email feedback. Thanks again!
Hey, no recent comments here so let's fix that! I finally saved enough to purchase a Manticore. I'm a neighbor of yours in CA and bought one of the first EQ800's in 2018 when they released and didn't need to look elsewhere. I appreciate the time you took to test and put all this together. My question is twofold, first are you still using this program or have you made adjustments? Second, I didn't see the high conductor/silver setting you mentioned in a previous video. Stock programs work well for you? Thanks and have a great day! Rev. Izzy
Hello and thank you for the view and comment on this older video! I am in the California Gold Country in Shingle Springs, CA. Where are you located? As far as the program, it still works great as it was demonstrated in the video, remember the upper and lower limits represent two different types of iron with the upper limits representing square nails. And the lower limits being flat iron, food cans, etc. The stock programs are fantastic and very capable. I use mostly All-Terrain Fast but I really watch and babysit the recovery speed, constantly adjusting. Otherwise I use General or Low Conductors. I never did make the high conductor video but I have all the footage, just have to edit it! Stay tuned and I'll get to it soon! Thank again you for the view and comment!
Another great video Mark thank you I used Equinox 900 here in Kentucky would love to have a great program for it. My previous detector was the Explorer Se any info would be great thanks again Mark God bless
Thank you for your kind words and for checking out the video you can always email me at the email that's in the description of all my videos and I am happy to give you a couple good programs for your 900. Thanks again, Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that my advice has been valuable. Also, thank you for the view and taking the time to leave the comment!
Very good video/information. Just got my new Manticore. Detector #2. My first is the Legend. Anyway, why the need for 5-Region All Tones instead of 5 Tones? I can memorize 5 tones (at least I'd like to think I can), but very unlikely I can memorize all of the tones presented when using "5-Region All tones" .
Thank you! So you set the 5 custom regions then each region gives adjacent targets a slightly different tone but really helps to get tones that give you more seperation than all-tones. Not for everyone and lately I'm back to All-Tones. Thanks again for the view and comment/question!
I'm having some trouble relic hunting with Manticore vs Nautilus (analog relic machine with all metal in one ear and a discrimination beep in the other--it is so awesome...no lag at all, hear everything instantly, and manual pinpoint target is right under the coil)--with Manticore I'm getting the target to the side of the pinpoint in AT General. Inches off. It's so much slower because I can't seem to find the center of the target. Finding much smaller things, deeper though, and some iron signatures more reliably. Does the D2 make for a good relic machine?--Notch out nails and go? Nox 900? I'm thinking maybe D2 doesn't have the "iron is way off to the side actually" issue...or does it? Thanks much
I have never tried the Nautilus but that sounds like something I need to check out!!! The Deus II in iron is incredible (to say the least) but there is no way to split audio sends to the stereo image like you describe. As far as your Manticore goes . . . The 11" coil is a double D design, which means one half of the coil is the transmit coil and the other is the receive coil. By the very nature of the way they are aligned results in the active detection field being a pretty narrow strip right up the center of the coil extending from the back edge to the front edge. If you coil is not pinpointing in the center and is "Inches off", that is very unusual and hard for me to wrap my head around. I think you should contact your dealer and see if they can test your machine with a different coil, perhaps you have an issue with your coil not working properly, although I can't even imagine and type of internal issue that could result in that! Do you have a buddy that has a Manticore as well? If so, you should try their coil to see what happens. Thank you for the view and comment/questions!
Thank you for your kind words, the problem is I live 3 hours from any saltwater Beach so it's very hard for me to find the time to get out to the ocean beach but it is at the top of my list of priorities so please stay tuned on the channel and watch for it. I hope to make that video very soon. Thank you for your view and comment!
For sure the Manticore is far better in many ways including discrimination of iron but it also costs 3 times the price! Thanks for the view and comment!
Yikes that's a tough question to answer 🤔 so aluminum on all detectors is a tough signal to eliminate as aluminum is a good conductor of electricity. Therefore when a metal detector coil swings over aluminum the transmission excites particles inside the aluminum that is then read by the receiver of the detector circuit and it is very hard for even modern metal detectors to differentiate aluminum from any other high conductors such as copper or silver. So if you were to try to discriminate out aluminum you take a chance on missing High conductors like coins. Also aluminum foil is the opposite aluminum foil comes in the same exact areas as gold rings gold nuggets and small gold jewelry so if you attempt to eliminate aluminum foil you take a chance on missing out on all of this gold items. Unfortunately aluminum is just something we have to deal with in this Hobby. If you're lucky and you swing over a piece of shredded aluminum can you might be able to avoid it just because the sound is so unusual and harsh due to the unusual shape of the object or you might get an overload on a whole aluminum can that's buried but again in this hobby we all have to deal with aluminum as a necessary evil. Thank you for watching the video and for your great question!
Yes but your going to end up with a bit more ear fatigue and perhaps dig more trash, especially in the low mid range, thin flat iron, food cans, etc. But fun fact, when I detect for relics with the Manticore and especially the CTX-3030 I run them wide open.

Great video! Great program! I'm a Legend owner/user. I'm about to be a Manticore owner. Based on the videos I've watched, I got some learning to do!
Both are incredible machines. I definitely prefer the tones, the user interface and the depth of the Manticore but big difference in price! Thank you for the view and comment!

Awesome, congrats! It's a good feeling to find silver or gold jewelry! Thank you for your view and comment!
hello,garrett apex or manticor for iron delete?
For sure the Manticore is far better in many ways including discrimination of iron but it also costs 3 times the price! Thanks for the view and comment!

Question, couldn't you just set the Manticore to All Metal and get the same results?
Yes but your going to end up with a bit more ear fatigue and perhaps dig more trash, especially in the low mid range, thin flat iron, food cans, etc. But fun fact, when I detect for relics with the Manticore and especially the CTX-3030 I run them wide open.
Niceeee
I appreciate your support! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment.
Program should allow you to name custom patterns
And have multiple discrimination profiles!--not just multiple ferrous limits profiles.
We're grateful for your input! Your suggestion to name custom patterns is a great idea and we'll make sure to include it in our next program update.
👍🙂👍
