Build quality looks improved from 600/800, but stem locks will break and stem shouldn't have been round, it should have been shaped so as to remain straight in the same way as the Deus. The stem will rotate especially with large coils and then the clamp will be tightened and it could well snap. This is only my opinion, but it makes more sense to have it shaped for alignment.
I’ve been waiting for you to get one Sid cos some of the current tests off some of the yanks have been dreadful. I look forward to your very good thorough tests before I decide to purchase one
Just ordered the 900 today. Got tired of waiting on the Manticore, plus I'm not too impressed with the videos I've been seeing on it lately. So I canceled my orders. Looking forward to seeing your videos on the 900.
I can't believe ppl selling second hand 800 for 700 plus I'd rather get this one hope the coil lug issue is fixed waiting for your reviews to see if worth it. Is it lighter by the way. Merry Xmas and have a great new year
Looking forward to your finding, watched a video yesterday where the 900 unmasked silver and gold ring with a big dirty nail in front of it and the 800 it disappeared
Great video Sid mate. Looking like a good machine. My only concern is the round shaft. Will it twist with a large coil?. I'd hate to tighten too much and snap it. Any thoughts?. Much appreciated Sid.
Gday Sid. It is a nice machine to swing. Just borrowed our store demo model. I can tell you it does find gold quite well and it is brilliant to carry through thick coffee bush when it is folded all the way down. Nice subtle changes that make it nice to swing. Merry Christmas to you and yours mate 🦘🦘😁👍
Be interesting test against the legend which has a big upgrade coming with stock and the 6 the 6 on the legend is a awsome coil in every way . If you have still the legend when you get up to speed with the 900 a test with the legend would be interesting , I am sure you wont be long in sussing the 900 out . Seen a video where the deus2 out did the manicore which picked up deep iron say a good target .Deus said trash ?????????? be interesting to see if the 900 has the same problem ???? Great video looking forward to the next video .UP TO 99 A GREAT IMPROVEMENT AS ALWAYS FOUND 40 TO CLUTTERED . Have a goodun bet you get wrong messing with the 900 lol
I just got my 900 from Tony too Sid, great guy to deal with. The 900 looks awesome. You need to get out and do some videos mate, haha. Have a great Christmas, cheers.
Nice one Sid...i bet a lot of people will think like myself (who can afford a new one...but) there's nothing wrong with the 800, my finds rate has increased ten fold since i got the 800..so why would i shell out over a grand for a few new features...i would save more dosh and get the Manticore, that said...i suppose it's nice to have a choice...BUT OVERPRICED...Do a comparison of the prices paid in America & Australia...i bet your bottom dollar we will be paying more...all the best to you n yours...GL&HH Gordon.
Yeah i cant see a point upgrading from a 800 to a 900 but if people aint got a nox and want to get one i would deffo suggest to shill out extra £180 and get the 900…
@@englandshistory i am thinking about upgradeing as my nox has had some hammer since i bought it (i turn it on with a round lolipop stick !) something pushed the power button in and have to do that... and was out yesterday and the lugs on the 15" COIL SHEERED OFF... never just rains but it pours eh...however it still works ! cheers sid for the reply
still waiting for mine here in oz,paid my deposite not before new year have been told thats the maticore,price started at $2200 then to $2400 now its $2500 thats probably the dealers thinking there on to a good thing,its expensive better be good.
Nice video Sid hi from Southern Illinois just got mine today haven't opened it yet also ordered a deus ii ws6 master have a merry Christmas you and your family
@englandshistory I am buying a 900 in January so I will be following your videos for tips on how to use the settings as I only use the minelab sovereign xs2a pro and its just turn on and go.i have never used digital machines
@berttaylor2728 is that virtually the same as the sovereign elite?? I loved that machine many moon ago... your in for a treat.. steeper learning curve but you will love it once you get used to the changes
@englandshistory about the same machine mine has been adapted for extra depth a good machine but I need a change but still keeping with minelab.hoping to meet you one day on a dig hopefully in the norfolk area
I'm just waiting this time b4 jumping in with my savings...I'm not byeing any machine because its new......I need to know if its worth the money straight up ..I'm not wasting money on anything when iv bourt the deus 1 2 years ago never ardly used that deus 1 yet....I'm watching you lot bye with you're money then I may,,,, go out bye the manticore or minelab 900 ...iv got a minelab safari...its ace really is awesome.. I paid£450 for it 5 years ago with the 3 full day battery and it does last 3 days on constantly...got a minelab carrot with it ear phones ext...found loads with it and some things at 2 foot deep or just over....bourt a deus used it twice and great it was...no multifrequency...Harry.. us no 1 told me a deus 2 was about to come out..I'm waiting now..cash on hips....see what's best I'll watch every vidio let you bye n try I'm sorry but it's the truth...av a great Xmas n new years ...
I just got mine today, from Big Boys Hobbies, it was put in a box, with absolutely nothing for cushioning & protection. The box it was shipped in, was almost the exact same size as the Equinox box itself. Very disappointed in the way big boy's hobbies, packaged my $1,100 detector.
I think everyone how has brought a 800 or 600 what was not made to standards very brital hard wear coil loop breaks arm rest breaks for over £900 machine minelab shud of had everyone how had brought 800 or 600 to return it back to a shop because they were not made too standard and faulty hardware that breaks to easy on them and they should of replaced it with 700 or 900 which have now been made probably and stronger all the best Paul 👍
Good health sidders 🍻🧑🦯 thought fragile was gnna pop outta that box with that warning tape on it 😂 😊 the only reason I didn’t get the nox800 was build quality, but now they released a blooming manti ain’t they so I’m like 🤔
Just about to buy one Friday 😊

First I would like to comment on how well the detector was sent.. excellent packaging, nice review. Merry Christmas to all detectorists 🎄
I'm waiting to see if the manticore is worth the big jump in money over the 900👍merry Christmas Sid mate👍👍

Coming real soon bud
Looks far better build quality Than the 600 and 800 . I am waiting for the Manticore. Len

Looks like Minelab addressed every quality issue and increased the performance some to boot. Well done Minelab, I'll be buying one

Yes its slightly lighter but feels like a finished well polished detector compared to 800
Looking forward to your finding, watched a video yesterday where the 900 unmasked silver and gold ring with a big dirty nail in front of it and the 800 it disappeared
If the 900 is better than the 800 in performance in anyway its a winner… the 800 was a beast anyway
Me and Angel cake on the thumbnail.❤️
Great video Sid mate. Looking like a good machine.
My only concern is the round shaft. Will it twist with a large coil?.
I'd hate to tighten too much and snap it.

Much appreciated Sid.
It seems pretty decent on standard coil, i aint got a large coil to try
@@englandshistory Many thanks Sid for your time.

As soon as I assembled it I thought to my self…. This is how the build quality of 800 should of been

Nice one. Merry Christmas.
Good morning , can you tell me the discount you get on the 900 using the code .
Kind regards

Does the headphones still work without the module with the 900
Yeah the module is just if you don't wanna use standard headphones

Well thats it.....won't rest till I get one now 🤣 merry Christmas mate 👍🎅
will you be doing vids on the Manticore? Merry Christmas Sid
Yes mate 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What a beauty!!!
Massive improvement aint it 👍🏼👍🏼
The features of the 900 should have just been a software update for the 800, instead of Minelab ripping people off...

Does Sid5 give you 5% off
Funny ain’t it all the hype about the manticore then they bring out a 700 and a 900 haha
Bit of a cheeky marketing ploy to sell a few more 800’s before 900 release
Merry Xmas buddy 🎉
Merry Christmas my matey 🎅🎅👍🏼👍🏼
Popcorn ready😁
You might find now
Lol 😂 were go on some better adventures this year murph, try find some more productive digs to hammer

all the best from Scorpio mate its only been 5 years lol nice wan
Do you still use the Deus 2?
No. Still waiting for the “update” 🤦♂️

Won't be long until coil snaps off 🤑🤑😮💨😮💨😮💨
Hopefully the new design sorts that out
