This is exactly what we need Andrew, you have dispelled fact from fiction. Sales people and product brochures are very eager to make a sale. You have methodically proven what these products can or cannot do in the field. As a potential buyer I thank you for your work, my purchase selection will be much easier.
I will try this box test at home with the 11 and 15, at power 22. Very well done. Thank you, will just do the frame a big wider to accommodate the 15, so, no air space on the edge, only ground packed under.
Nice one, maybe the only additional thing I've would have done for each coil was to up the sensitivity to the point where it just before it became unstable and then do a depth test. The reasoning behind this is, can the smaller coils be run at higher sensitivity as they might be less susceptible to interference and thus have similar end performance to the bigger coil
Very creative demonstration of depth - kudos for making the extra effort to do this versus waving a coin across each coil, MUCH more thorough and informative demonstration! Great job, Andrew!
@@TheCoffeeBushKid you’re very welcome, Andrew! 😊 Brilliant depth test - my viewers have been asking me about my experience with the M9 coil, but I don’t have any videos up yet. Figured yours would be a nice one to share with the Community! 😄
Witam serdecznie COFFE BUSH . Bardzo dziekuje za video z testem . Mialem dylemat z wyborem cewki , ale teraz widze , ze M9 bedzie bardzo dobrym wyborem ... rzetelny test i dobre video .... Pozdrawiam !!!
Thank you for going through all of that testing for us. I’ve been trying to decide between the M8 and M9. I’m new to the Manticore, actually Minelab altogether. For 15 years Ive been swinging a Tesoro Vaquero which was very light. I was surprised how heavy the Manticore with stock M11 coil was to swing. Right off the bat I wanted a lighter coil. I think the M9 will be my choice. 👍 Thanks again, Doug in NC
Good on you (and Viv, at a guess) for the overview for the Manticore range, CBK. Correlation for other detectors, per versatility and capabilities options. Reminds me before we bought our Equinox seeing a ground test using plastic flower tubs of varying depths in a garden bed. Meanwhile, I could feel poor bun-head Vicky's golden eyes bulging holding her breath... At the end, phew! Didn't forget her! Yes, interesting to see, as I'm sure you were, responses to a half sovereign, it's at the brim of your and mine lists bucket! Although also doing a little, medium and big silvers ground test could interest some, including Jim. Abilities gained in new coil improvements, depth need not be the priority to result in new fields opened or re-taking to old sites anew. No intention of pun punishment, but, happy swinging, Andrew!
Howdy Andrew, Very nice job on the test. The box frames with the wooden pegs to hold them together are a great idea. I'd trade a few mm in depth for a lighter coil if I was going out on a long hunt. Best to have all 3 though. A M8 for the really trashy sites, a M9 for the long grueling hunts and the M11 for depth. I'm not sure why you thought you'd need the 2 extra frames. You were probably thinking of the good old days when you swung an 800 like I still do. I have to bring a flashlight (torch?) to see the bottom of my holes. Hope you and Viv are doing well. Jan and I are. Your buddy, Roelf
Thanks for sharing another great video professor CBK. Love the demonstration of each coil on what each coil can and can't do. Well done. Keep up the great work and see you on the next one. Cheers mate. 👌👌👌👍👍👍👍🤜🤛
Great test, I prefer this over an air test. I am going to check and see if they make the lighter coil for the 900. Like you said it does not lose much depth but for older or impaired people it would make swinging the detector easier.
Each of the disc's had good depth to them, so there's nothing wrong there, The lighter the load, the easier it is on the arms and back, I think my ctx is gaining weight, and is tiring me out more than it used to, and I deny the fact that my getting older has anything to do with it, and ill keep denying it when im using it as a walking stick. Plus I think my ctx is still cranky with me for taking your Manticor for a swing. Thanks again for that, by the way! Anyway im dribbling on as usual. Nice to see you on a Tuesday evening? Cheers!
Great demonstration of coil depths Andrew.I used to swing 15 inch coils all day,but now the 11 inch for a few hours is enough. Must be getting old.The lighter M9 (Mine???) coil seems appealing.Cheers.
Great test Andrew, you should have tried the same depth on a silver coin as it’s more conducive, gold doesn’t generally give too much conductivity, Perhaps you should have tried the same depth in the gold setting
wait...is it Saturday already? Very professional . there Andrew...Were you once a concreter? Hopefully this is to be used during the show tomorrow night. What nick names are we going to use for the new coils?...M9 = The Boy. M11 = The Man, and we have M8 = The Mate....6 inch could be now called The Little Boy?? What about trying an edge on coin, now that you've done flat...Great segment either way 😀
Lo que hace falta es una bobina de 18 "pulgadas para el Minelab Manticore igual que el Equinox 900 tiene bobina de 18" pulgadas de Coiltex. M8, M9, M15, M18 ??? 😉👍
I would have liked to see what 35 power would have done, you were only running it on 20 power which is fine to compare coils but to stretch its legs would have been interesting.
Minelab pulled a fast one,, Wait till everyone gets the M8 and then throws out the M9 I guess I will be a sucker too in the near future Thanks, I liked that test
Very good demonstration. I think you can set the sensitivity on the M9 a little higher than on the M11, as it is less sensitive to EMI due to the smaller coil size. This is also the case with my XP Deus 2. In the end there is no difference in depth. The M11 just makes more ground coverage but I think the M9 has a better searation in iron infestet sites. Greetings ✌️
get a maxpedition kodiak gearslinger. holds my coils for my 900. got my 11" on. the 900. but change the coils when needed cause they are in my pack and not heavy at all. and what ever else i need. hat ,water. ,snacks. ,loupe. ,magnet. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
If you set the sensitivity higher on the M9 you can get more depth than with the sensitivity set at 20 as seen in the video. And you won’t get that much EMI with the 9” as you would with the 11” if you had it at a higher sensitivity. I was hoping to see it if you set it at 25 or higher how’d it perform!
The new M9 was really designed for water, hence the slimmer profile and less strengthening ribs, depths wise, it's no different to the M8, it just moves through the water better
Perfect Andrew Great test mate And I really liked how you left the area I am really disappointed with how many left open in Moliagul Disgusting they are not detectorists they are rapists of the land I do how you replaced so as when you hit a spot You think no one’s been there Nothing worse than hitting a spot and seeing holes everywhere Your shoulders and mind go limp and you are demolished But when it looks like not much happened then your spirits are high Way to many holes open around here it is disgusting Cheers 🍻 great to see you again too Check next vid is a good one brother snake 🐍 CrouchOz

This is the best depth test demo ever. Wow. Well done.
This took a lot of time and effort. Appreciate it. Thumbs up and like for the effort.
Great presentation, very professional. Well done mate 👏
best comparison I have seen
Great test Andrew, would of been good to see how the 15 coil would of compared.

Great comparison video Andrew! Interesting to see that the M8 and M9 coils were very similar on the depth

Thanks Stef. Means a lot coming from you. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

M8 is still a cracking coil. Lovely carpentry work on the frames. Good job, I hope you got some time to have a fun dig as well.
Really like your video. Congrat, keep the good work, From Canada
Great test , cheers for taking the time to do it !

It would be good to do the same test with the equinox 900 as a comparison.
Well done Cbk found this mighty helpful.😊
Thank you so much, this is exactly what i was looking for. I needed to know if the M9 was worth buying if you already have the M8.
Great video Andrew - great coil
Thanks for look well done
Thanks for this content and your effort in it.
Always excellent information
Nice bit of wood work there!👍🏻

hi what did you screw wood together with
No screws as they would interfere with the detector. I skew doweled it 😁👍
Awesome video! May i ask what size in inches is your digger pick ? Thanks
The head size is 4 1/2” x 13 1/2”. It is a walco heavy duty pick😁👍
@@TheCoffeeBushKid how about the total length?
29 3/4” long but I put a 3’ handle on mine
so you put on a 36 inch handle ? a little bit confused. thanks
If you set the sensitivity higher on the M9 you can get more depth than with the sensitivity set at 20 as seen in the video. And you won’t get that much EMI with the 9” as you would with the 11” if you had it at a higher sensitivity. I was hoping to see it if you set it at 25 or higher how’d it perform!
As stated this test was to compare the 3 coils on a level playing field of factory presets. Thanks for watching 😁👍
The new M9 was really designed for water, hence the slimmer profile and less strengthening ribs, depths wise, it's no different to the M8, it just moves through the water better
Why on a depth test did u not crank up the sensitivity to see what does what before ending
@@garrettgolden5414 as stated, factory presets 😁
with m15 coil how much be
@@marvanmo bigger coil, deeper
Scooby snacks at the ready. LET IT RIP..
Perfect Andrew
Great test mate
And I really liked how you left the area
I am really disappointed with how many left open in Moliagul
Disgusting they are not detectorists they are rapists of the land
I do how you replaced so as when you hit a spot
You think no one’s been there
Nothing worse than hitting a spot and seeing holes everywhere
Your shoulders and mind go limp and you are demolished
But when it looks like not much happened then your spirits are high
Way to many holes open around here it is disgusting
Cheers 🍻 great to see you again too
