Hi, my name is Merrill Kazanjian. New York City is an amazing place to go metal detecting. We have lots of parks, colonial history and great beaches for beach detecting. I have gone to all five boroughs of New York City To Metal Detect and beyond. I also currently own 19 metal detectors. I want to have the best and I want to help you choose the best as well. Below I will showcase some of the playlists on this channel:

Reasons I like your channel: [1] Your passion for the science; [2] Experience with numerous well used (20) detectors; [3] Educator; [4] And, humor. Elevating the mind to humor is the highest level of teaching. QUESTION: Why no more unlocking TB? I smile every time you unlock something... Thanks.
Just want to say that I enjoy all your videos and how informative they are.
I would love the new Manticore, but the problem is that when all these new videos came out with Minelab reps saying it was going to be $1500.00 which equates to £1200.00 in English money, you can imagine my surprise when I went to buy one it was infact £1700.00. Me personally, I think I will stick to the nox 800 and by a second hand one comes to surface. Mad money, and I detect most days of the year.
Keep up the good work. 👍
Merrill, excellent video but let's get to the tan line. Headband, MD NYC Headband!
Manticore Features:
• 2D ID Map
• Detect and Identify: If it contains metal, you’ll see it on the ID Map.
• Classify Targets: Ferrous Limits decide what’s ferrous/non-ferrous so you can maximize the detectability of targets amongst ferrous trash, reject bottle caps, or accept ferrous coins.
• Discriminate: Create a Custom Discrimination Pattern to Accept good Target IDs and Reject bad ones.
• Assign Audio: Assign the Pitch and Volume for up to 5 Tone Regions - Amplify the targets you want to hear.
• Confident Audio Responses: Now you’ll only detect targets you want to find.
• Fast Response: Find desired targets amongst ferrous trash like no other detector on the market with Manticore’s exceptional target separation performance.
• Light and Compact: 1.3 kg / 2.9 lb with an extended length of 1440 mm / 56.7 inch and a collapsible length of 630 mm / 24.8 inch.
• Enhanced Discrimination: Improved Target ID stability and close target separation. With customizable Ferrous Limits, you have unprecedented control to accept ferrous coins, reject complex ferrous targets, or dial in maximum target unmasking in iron.
• Audio Controls: Customizable target tones, suppress EMI chatter, and Continuous Pitch [VCO] audio with ferrous tones and genuine threshold detection tone.
• Search Modes: Over 10 customizable Search Modes including:
• All-Terrain: Optimized for inland detecting.
• Beach: Optimized for sand, surf, and seawater zones.
• Goldfield: Optimized for detecting gold nuggets.
• Waterproof: Dive up to 5 m [16ft] for underwater exploration.
• Intuitive Controls
• Boosted EMI Immunity
• Lighting & Vibration: Control Pod Flashlight, Display Backlight with Auto Adjust, Backlit Keyboard, plus Handgrip Vibration means you can hunt long after the sun has gone down.
HOW IS IT optimised???
Holy moly, thank you Professor Merril for taking us to MD201 class today. Truly appreciate all your time, effort and energy you invest in your vids 🤙🏽🙏🏽✊🏽
The CTX has had a visual target trace for a long time. Always loved that feature.
👍
You are correct Aaron, the CTX Visual target trace feature is very good. It's a shame Metal Detecting NYC couldn't get to grips with the CTX 3030.
@@Llandil2002 sorry your butt hurt regarding my comments on the CTX. Hope you got it early for 2400 bucks. The lack of separation made it a paperweight in my collection for the 2 years I had it. There is no logical justification for a 2400 dollar price tag in 2022. 10 years after initial release.
Can I find a small gold chain what yeah a small thin gold chain like the D2 I could never find a small gold chain with the equinox or the CTX or the Excalibur
@@MetalDetectingNYC agreed, I owned it from release until the Equinox debuted at detectival September 2017. I saw that video and saw the target recovery speed and preordered that day. Talked to my dealer and told him I wanted to trade my Ctx in on it and he called me crazy. Got the Equinox 800 all 3 coils and wp headphones for the 5 year old ctx. Best decision I ever made detecting wise, few months after release dealers werent taking ctx's in for the Nox anymore hehehe. All the bells and whistles on the Ctx were nice, but alot of fluff. Glad to see the Manticore took the best of the Ctx (target trace and 2d graph) and mixed them with the Equinox.
Super exciting Merrill. Thanks for putting this together for the community! Thumbs up!
You’re welcome!!!
I used the nox for 3.5 yrs. I owned 3 of them. All flooded😢. I loved the machine BUT then I found Xp deus! No comparison in my soil! 1-3” deeper, hasn’t flooded, half the weight with 9” coil that I LOVE! And most importantly it separates so much better in heavy iron while hunting old homesites. The manticore will have to prove ALOT for me to even consider. I hope it does!!
Hasn´t flooded SO FAR, because i know a bounce of people with drawned machine...no matter if RED or BLACK cap.
Great job Merrill, I’m super excited to see a Beach low conductors mode for hunting gold at the beach.👋👍
SAME HERE!
Same here for the U.K.
Thanks for your updates.
The best machine Minelab ever made was the Minelab Explorer II. 😀. I purchased my one new in 2005. 🙂. In my detecting club over here in England there are only 2 detector manufacturers used Minelab and Deus. My machine is older than all the other machines put together. Lol. 🤣. My machine is now 17 years old 😲 and held together with tie grips and copper pipe ( stem snapped in half and I refused to buy a new one 😳 ). Question is have I been left behind in the technology wars and do I find as much as everyone else. 🤔. Regarding technology I suppose maybe, I can't detect fast because the recovery speed is quite slow and regarding my finds rate compared to other members well you would have to ask them but I will finish by saying I don't need to buy an Equinox or Manticore just yet. 🙂😁😃🤣🤗.
I have tested the Equinox on a spectrum analyser and the multi IQ uses just 3 frequencies. The other frequencies are for single frequency use. It does not multi IQ all those frequencies at once. The Nox uses 8~9kHz, 18~19kHz and 40kHz.
What I am looking out for is where the Manticore has dropped some useful features of the Equinox. 👍Spec is short for Specifications.
Wow! That would make a fascinating video!!!
You need to address Mark Lawrie we're being scammed then!.....All 5 are suppose to be used simultaneously during multi use.......See what he has to say about your findings!
@@carlfr2977 The single frequencies are different to the simultaneous multi frequencies. The multifrequencies have to be chosen so the harmonics do not clash. Hence why they are not 10kHz, 20kHz and 40kHz.
@@carlfr2977 For those of us with backgrounds in radio theory like ham operators, much of this marketing jargon is gibberish. Minelabs offers a PDF course called "Basic Detector Theory" and can be found online. If you read it you will be amazed at just what the truth is vs marketing.

Thanks for all your hard work Merrill.
Thanks Jeff!
Thanks for sharing this video. Am I missing something? Maybe it's a given but no one has discussed pinpointing capabilities with the manticore. Also, it seems, and I am absolutely on board with this, that the Manticore will be geared for beach detectorists mainly because 4 of the 10 pre-set programs are for the beach which is where I concentrate 90% of my energy level when detecting. I wager around Christmas season this detector will become available. I'm on the list.
Great video Merrill. I got myself on the list for the Manticore, cant wait to get it and test it out.
I love my ctx and my D2. But honestly, i love the visuals on this detector. I hunt at all hours of the day and like the vibration and light too. The D2 and this will be my detectors for years to come.
That is quite the formidable pairing!!!
Im an original ctx owner from week one of release. I like it alot but, i hunt fast. That machine has made me thousands of dollars but its just time.
@@cappc12 I’ve been harsh on it but I get it. It was an incredible achievement! I just struggle to justify a 2400 dollar price point for it in 2022!
@@MetalDetectingNYC the target ID I'm sure is the big part. I paid $1500 then.
Do sent matter ,what machine you have . If you don't go over it , you won't find it , look at the aka machines . Good video mt. You have it the nail on the head , lots of May besssssss. Thanks
I expect at that price point it will be on a par and perform like the Deus II. You get what you pay for, right? Then it will become just a personal preference with no clear "winner". Thanks for your videos, keep 'em coming.
Thank you Chad! I would argue that for the most part you get what you pay for, but there are some detectors that are very overpriced for what you get. The entire Garrett line needs to be revamped. The CTX is arguably an all time great, but 2400 dollars 10 years after its release (slow compared to today's detectors) is wrong.
@@MetalDetectingNYC Agree totally!
Merrill has been using the NOX for years. Now he just got his Deus II and Minelab is coming out with another, right on XP's tail. Not fair. Will Merrill swing the Deus II for years, probably not. I will because my opinion is the Deus is unbeatable, but we will see. I just bought a Bounty Hunter for my grandaughter it's the Elite 2200. I shortened the shaft so it fits her, and it now weighs less than two pounds and is a coin magnet up to six inches. I bought it used, but it has never has been used, even though it has not been sold for over ten years. It is the machine I started with eleven years ago, and I love that machine.
This engineer from minelab is making all these claims about the new manticore metal detector. He said it's going to be structurally sound, but yet the equinox parts break all the time, this guy said the manticore it will be absolutely waterproof, they said the same thing about the equinox and they frequently get water damage. With a price tag of $1, 600 I'm not going to rush into buying this thing!
Thank you for the update Merrill 👍 Take care and find lots of treasures 👍😎
Thank you Ray!
Excellent job Merrill, thanks for posting your thoughts on the machine. Now with the delivery of the unit with in the field use and see what it can do, it may have a few quirks and bugs to work out. Most new units do.
It's going to be a while for I up grade. I like my simplex and I do have the sp22 coil on it way , but I do look forward of you using the manticore. GL HHHANK
I was going to buy an XP, but I think I'll wait a while. Thanks for your video's!
So Merrill, make this easy and become an internet hero, ask them the following question: "what do you mean by more power precisely and if you are implying RF power output what is it in watts?"
That is the essential question!
The Emi was coming from the two way radio with him. When I hunt on the beach in my hometown and lifeguards have their radios I am constantly getting Emi.
Thanks for the clear info on the Manticore......but let's just go back six months...everyone was jumping ship from the Nox to the new kid on the block The Legend ! it was sooo cool that everyone was making videos of how much stuff they found with it, then a few months later the Deus 2 came out and again is was the new thing was finding the unfindable!!and everyone must get one...now the Manticore! Sure it is a great machine....but they all are and the most fun is getting out and finding weather it be $ 2000.00 or a $ 200.00 detector ...just get out there and start swinging !! Happy Hunting all, may the Finds be with you!
The Nokta Legend came out with a long list of great features on it. And, my experience with it for the past 3 months is that it is living up to what they said it could do.. And with a price tag of $650. The Equinox on the other hand, has a long history of parts breaking, and water damage. Personally, I don't trust minelab when they come out and brag about how sturdy and waterproof and great this new detector is going to be.. And with a price tag of about $1,600.... I'll be waiting to see what the jury says when it comes in!
@@Deus-Too I had lots fun and finds with just a bounty hunter, but got a nox and love the pin pointer feature but as you say people have problems with water leakage so I don;t go into deep water with it. Is the Legend fine in water or does it leak too?
I do mostly use the ctx. Nox 800 and the deus ll i do less..... So. My opinion is that this new detector will do all I need now. Very interesting product. No doubt 😎
I am loving my two-machine duo of The Deus 2 and The Legend. I did not see anything exciting enough in the video that interest me.
Makes me proud that it was developed in my home town Adelaide South Australia, can’t wait to see what this detector is all about. How are you Merryl
I’m good Greg! Thank you!!! Tell them to hurry up 😂😂😂!
@@MetalDetectingNYC I certainly shall😹
A wedding ring was jumping on the VDI between 23 and 61 - IN AIR. Exactly how is this thing an improvement over the vastly insecure VDI readings of all digital detectors? 50% more power in VLF detectors DOES NOT equal more depth, but it does equal 50% less battery life for sure, unless there is a brand new breakthrough battery technology involved here.
Merrill, I wanna see you in the field with your Deus II more. For me, it outperforms the NOX 800. You have many hours swinging the NOX but little swinging your Deus. I have been finding a lot of silver coins where I've hunted with the NOX in parks. Ok OK, you will never hear me bugging you about using your Deus anymore. Great video. One more thing, the NOX has been out for a long time before the Deus II came along, so you learned it well and got many hours on it. Now Minelab is coming out with a new detector, just after the Deus II, not fair.
You do a good job of separation Merrill. BS from HYPE from hard FACTS. Not always the flavour for some I suspect, but for the genuine, the realist: top man.
Honored you say that Tim. Ultimately people SHOULD read most in to the detector that I wind up using the most. If it gives me the best chance to succeed, I’m going to use it. For years it was the Equinox, now it is the Deus 2. But I will put that down in a second if the Manticore is better for my needs. People are smart and they can see through BS . I try to stick to the facts and say I don’t know when I don’t know.
I really hope this is a great leap for MineLabs, but I'm going to let you do the checkout when it becomes available before I upgrade to it. I'm just relieved that I didn't buy a Legend.
Great video and also great to see a shout out from Cleggy for your channel 👍🏻
I watched your video and enjoyed the content.
What bring me to making this comment is your comment about owning 20 or so metal detectors.
I am using a Whites Spectrum XLT with fair to good results.
But I dig a lot of target and think that's why I have finds.
How do you think the Whites Spectrum XLT holds up to today's detectors and what would you suggest.
I love White's machines. They too were ahead of their time with an early iteration of SMF on the V3I. I cant speak on the Spectrum XLT because ive never swung it. My reviews on the detectors i've swung are on iratemetaldetectors.com
Yes Merrill, you may sway my decision on the new Manticore, to purchase it over the Nox 600 or the Nox 800. I may wait and see what you can squeeze out of the new Manticore first, I trust you. The reason being, I'm just going to be a hobbyist or par-say a weekend warrior. So, when you decide to purchase the new Manticore, hopefully soon! I wish you all the good luck in the world, and if it is as good as they say it is, who knows? may-be just may-be, Ill fork over the $1499.00 for one. A BIG THANKS again Merrill, you the man!!!!!!! Keep on keeping on, and God Bless you and your family. Signed, Greg the Egg.
Thanks for info. It figures that I just bought the equinox 800 a few weeks ago. I would have held off to get this one. Looking forward to your review. Keep swinging
I got the Deus II in March, and I am loving it more than my NOX 800. It's lighter and I'm finding silver coins where I hunted before with my NOX. The NOX had a great run but I am sticking with my Deus II for at least two years regardless of what happens with Minelab.
Thanks for info bud I'm still not sold on manticore
It would be nice to know about the battery as no ones mentioned that. With all this extra power the manticore uses what's the field time before the depth starts to drop off.
I think someone mentioned the battery last longer than the NOX?
Hello Merrill 👋. If it's like what they are glorifying!! This may be a game changer... I want to see you in action Merrill on depth, separation, and frequency and target ID'S. Love the video buddy. Keep swinging and digging 👍
In both the clip you showed, and addicted to beeps’ “first look and test” video, the engineer says that in multi-frequencies, the manticore runs higher frequencies than the Equinox (5:15-5:35 mark).
I’m beginning to think the 100 target ID is including the number 0. So, it’s 0-99, totaling 100. The screen only has two number slots.
The target IDs will run -99-0 for Iron and 0-99 for non ferrous. So, a 200 point ID spread, pretty cool!
@@TarnishedCharm Link me to where you’ve seen iron as -99-0. I haven’t seen a video or article showing anything but 0-99.
I don't see it listed , but I think I heard him say the battery was removable .
Wow! I will look in to that
Isn't this a bit premature, the machine is not out yet? Just like commenting on a video I haven't watched yet :-)
Hope you get your hands on one and do some testing. No sniper coil for it?
Not that I have heard of
Take my money now. The 6oo and 800 equinox was a masterpiece for its price point. I stayed away from the deuce hoping mine lab would strike back. This may be a blow that nokta can't come back from as the two giants battle
No Bluetooth means you won’t be using earbuds in hot weather, also no clock like the Legend, they did put a vibration function and a light on it and made a telescopic shaft like the Legend , at 21/2 times the price I won’t be buying one and will be sticking with the Legend.
Minelab gave it right back to them ( Nokta ) for copying them!.....That's why they did that!....You can even hear the Minelab engineer laugh about the clock not being installed on it in addicted to beeps video......I laughed too!
Merrill, something to check out. I read that the Manticore has a 9 hour run time that would potentially be reduced, depending on settings. Does that seem low to you? Also, recharging takes 7 hours, so probably no 'in-field' top off charging! For me, this is a huge issue, if true!
It’s a good question what this “more power” translates to. The 747 and A380 had more power but they are too inefficient for the skies right now.
Amigo
This is good info
Now what I going to do with the deus ll hahaha 🤣
Good video thanks
Don't throw away your Deus II, I'm guessing it's still better than the new Minelab Manticore. No one knows for sure, yet...
I want to pre -order !! Can't add myself to the email notification on kellyco 😢
Let me ask right now.
@@MetalDetectingNYC thanks Merrill
Do wczoraj byłem posiadaczem Deusa 2 i moge napisać o nim tyle że jeśli chodzi o odrzucanie kapsli to może i to działa ale tylko na tych zardzewiałych , miała być cicha pracą w multi, a bywa głośniejszy niż Deus 1 . Kupilem Deusa 2 dla dwoch opcji ( możliwość zanurzenia panelu sterowania i możliwość ustawienia głośności na panelu sterowania samego głośnika. Praca multi wypada względnie, potrafi znaleźć wiecej to dla tych którzy będą szukali porównania. Miałem okazję sprawdzić jak leży w ręku nox 800( ciężki w porównaniu do Deusa, źle wyważony) ale manticore wygląda ciekawie mimo że uchwyt identyczny jak w noxie. Za jakiś czas wrócę do pasji i będę sie dobrze przyglądał nowym aktualizacją Deusa 2 jesli się nie poprawi rozpocznę przygodę z Minebalem Manticore. Pozdrawiam
I have few questions/ concerns based on what I've seen so far, but they might be premature...
Manticore said to have 50% more power than the Equinox, but a full charge only lasts 9 hrs? That doesn't seem very long to me...and how long to recharge the detector?
Option to use my own headphones with an adapter, or forced to use the proprietary wireless headphone system it comes with? Related to that, will submersible headphones be offered? (Wireless doesn't work when the control box is submerged).
I had a I had a CTX for six years and it was that's the best machine I've ever had but mine lab also said that machine was updatable ,only one main update and that was it.The manticore is it going to be the same?.
It's always been that way & not just from Minelab!.....As soon as a new machine is in the works, the updates will stop!....They move on!
Thank you for the update, Merrill.
Well done Merrill. Good report!
I can confirm that Multi-IQ uses other frequencies besides the single frequency options
Interesting the Red color on the screen. I said to myself I was going to stick with my Deus 2. But who knows.
Nothing will make me put my Deus II in my closet, not for a long time.
I have a good feeling about this machine!
I think Ill stick with the fisher cz21 and nokta legend and nokta simplex. :)
Until the day comes when you can turn a detector on and sweep the ground and it shows you what the detectornis beeping over like a 4d fish finder lol I think all we will keep doing is dumping money into every new detector. I'd like to see someone reignite tesoro and bring out a vlf/pulse unit all in one with the flip of a switch. Lol doesn't hurt to dream.
I haven’t heard much about the Dynamic Color display. Even though the Deus 1 and 2 have dynamic displays. They are Monochrome. The Nox800 display is static. The same with the legend.
It’s gotta be a battery drain!
@@MetalDetectingNYC they will slow down the refresh rate to parts of the screen which don’t need it like an Apple Watch.
Hi Merrill, I've given you a Shout Out foe this Excellent Video. It should be good for a few hundred Subscribers.
Cleggy
Cleggy!!! What’s up buddy!!! Thank you for that! I will check it out. I have been watching your channel forever and it is an honor that you did that!!!
Speaking of Nox. What happened to Phil the Nox. Doing time upstate?
I remember when addicted to bleeps joined a metal detecting forum I was on in the uk, he had just started detecting and wanted help before he did his vids, c scope back then but the manufacturers seem to have him these days 😊
You can modify the Equinox 800 5 tone program to a 3 tone program This will give you the following:
Tone 1 break point -9 to 0 (low tone iron grunt)
Tone 2 break point. 1 to 19. Med tone
Tone 3 break point. 20 to 38 -39-40 high tone
I prefer the three tone programs. Why doesn't Monelab have a three tone program?
Of course more power is more depth, like TX on the Deus one or Boost on the Fisher. Of course, the machine gets chattier and uses more battery power, but that's old technology. Sounds like Minelab has that figured out. Remember, there would be no Deus 2 or Legend without the Equinox blowing up the detecting world with simultaneous multi frequency.
Agreed!.....They had to do something or their doors would close!....Minelab ,in general, is what all the other are trying to be in my opinion.....Follow the leader!
Great job ' Thank you for sharing with us.
A great video to start the day
Is there a software system so you can change up your settings via computer? The CTX has XChange2.
It doesn’t sound like it but that is something I could look in to .
I’ve often wondered if it would be possible to have a feature that discriminates target depth. There’s a few parks in my area where deep targets are the only chance for anything interesting.
Very difficult. You are thinking depth as in up down. On many of the deepest detectors a target will be at ground level 10-12 inches away and will make the detector show a deep signal. And that is not falsing. That is a correct read from the side.
I have the XP Deus 2, and if you adjust audio response down to somewhere between 0 and 3 you should get the result you want. Only the deeper targets will be faint sounding. You're going to need to use either the bone phones, or the complete over the ear headphones that were recently released, because you're going to need to isolate those faint sounds , deeper targets, as the ones you want to dig.
I don’t mind spending the 1600 however I just spent 800 a year and a half ago and I guess my question is what is $800 more that I’m getting and the new detectorI guess what’s also bothering me is this information gap or a side-by-side comparison if they were more forthcoming my lab I would feel better about it but I think I’m just gonna take a sit back and wait approach maybe about another year
Think I’ll just keep on learning my nox 600 simplex and legend lol
Thanks for the info ringmaster😎
Good video Merrill. Let's hope it lives up to the hype.
Have you considered attending Detectors Anonymous meetings? lol
LOL, yep I laughed out loud when I read your comment. Thanks for the laugh.
Merril who determines the depth of a machine, does the fcc have a cap or limit, gives us the facts
Thank you For all the research and info Merrill☠
are you gonna be the first kid on the block to get one or are you going to wait to see if there are bugs and defects. Do you think this will knock down the price of the Equinox 800 ?.
Gonna try. My website is called iratemetaldetectors.com so I gotta answer for that.
Seems like a vague product announcement, and a bit rushed. I think its right to say it's a bridge between the ctx and nox, and the price point shows that.
Interesting on the watt restrictions. I have a ham license so I see where they are going with it, but it's rather oppressive when your in a non populated area. As long as they govern it, and look the other way for mods. Same thing happens in the radio world.
They had to do something Nokta Makro had knocked them right out of the saddle,but can you imagine what Nokta will come up with now, I can hardly wait!
More like Nokta copied I'd say!....The Legend is basically a direct copy of the Equinox!
Nokta straight up copied the Nox.
@@christianh7863 I hope you are right!
@@christianh7863 I know!......Tesoro, whites and who's next?.....The introduction of multi frequency and other ideas that did that to them. I guess they couldn't hang.....Now you have Nokta ,Garrett and XP adopting multi frequency......If not, they'd be out!........I know Fisher was suppose to introduce a advanced pulse unit.......That was suppose to be put out already?...Not sure what happen there?
Hearing November 2022 release date. Order the Honey Badger Scoop for good luck. CHOW
Beast Mode is nothing new. CTX 3030 has that. I used it all the time searching for rings in shallow water.
I was really disappointed in the vague "upgrades" on this machine but am hopeful it's game changing...
It's not lighter, same weight as my 800.
When I'm ready for a change it's probably the Deus2 for me
Just the target ID going to 100 is a big improvement I have a CTX and the 4 numbers for target ID is awesome I can tell the difference from a civil war bullet and a modern jacketed bullet
I can't tell you how happy I am with my Deus II. I'm finding silver coins where I've hunted with my NOX. The Hunter GT programed my Deus II so nickels sound out loud, copper pennies and above sound out loud, and I do not discriminate. I just turn the volume up for targets I'm looking for, (nickels, copper pennies, dimes, etc) and everything else is a whisper. Sure I may be missing Indian Head Pennies, but I'm not wasting my time digging zinc pennies and I am on the left coast (west) and there are not many Indians here anyways.
Nice review Merrill!👍👍😁💯
I passed up on the legend and the deus2. Wonder if over time will change my mind on getting the Manticore, as the ctx3030 is way out of my price point. I know I like the 600 on the beach and if this detector will be a beach beast That might be a game changer for me. Thank you so much for taking time to put together these videos of in depth look into detectors.
Might be able to get a deal on used ctx once the new machine is out
I had the CTX for 2 years. Couldnt get past the slower target separation (remember I dig in trash central NYC). It was a paperweight for me. The nox was worth every penny. It doesnt need to be replaced. But for me, im a detecting connoisseur! LOL I could care less about wine tasting, cars, etc. I need to know about the Manticore and I will certainly report back. Im using the Deus 2 as my primary machine right now because I think its the best. But I dont work for XP, if Manticore is better I will use it.
@@philbartoli2011 True!
@@MetalDetectingNYC I know you and your detecting wants/needs. desires. And trashy parks in NYC. I Like the 600 and the Vanquish 540/340 But I also know if I was to upgrade in a detector would this New Minelab detector would be the last one I would buy. Or in time would I just get the 800. Wont know until the day comes when the 600 is down and out..
@@MetalDetectingNYC I took a leap to the Deus 2 after having success with the 800 especially on the beach. The Deus 2 pounds the targets in my mind way better than the 800. I can find the item out of the hole way faster on the beach with the Deus 2. I also did not loose any signals after i started digging like I did a few times with the 800 - ghost signals I guess or super small stuff. I have definitely found more earrings with the Deus 2. Just what I have concluded but digging to China is not my idea of fun so how deep is too deep. Pulling 4 scoops plus of sand out for a beer tab which the Deus 2 seems to love on the beach is daunting - ID of 65 is the killer number for these but hate to ignore it just in case. I like Minelab however will have to see how this new detector pans out in the real world.
Price is similar to DEUS 2, however the warranty is only three year. Why?
So you haven’t used the ctx3030
CB power using AM is 5 W input. Using SSB its 12 W. Kids handy-talkies run 100mw IIRC.
5 W would eat up a battery soon. Many ways to measure power. Also modes of transmit.
Ex is the most efficient way to send info is CW A.K.A Morse code.
LFOD !
Please what the price for the 8/5 head for the manecore
Field testing is so important, emi needs to be corrected, can’t offer more sensitivity which means deeper, but emi brings it down.
I didn't see an all metal mode. Has that gone away?
Minelab put the Manticore up on its website... Specs, downloads, quick start guide.... No instructions yet! And where is the buy it now button! 🤣
Does it work near phones and towers
10:53 shows how many frequencies. 20khz?
Will the 8×5 go deeper
No that is for settings where the objects are in close proximity like trashy sites worn to a of bottle caps. Larger coils go deeper but separate less.
Will it find gold nuggets
at 9:19 it's the detector speaker? you can clearly hear a woman's voice like from an walkie talkie. is it normal for a detector to do that?
Outstanding!
Nice Job
Very nice ,the price. In US 1599,00 usd.
In the Netherlands €1999,00.
Stupid taxes🙈🙉🙊
Thats a machine I must have ahahahaha.... Nice video máster
Awesome video
Expensive update...
Very interesting
