MINELAB MANTICORE High-Power Multi-IQ+ Waterproof Metal Detector for Adults with Advanced Target ID (11" Double-D Coil Included)

Very professional very professional built. This is by far the best and most professional metal detector that I have ever owned. Great depth and discrimination.

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.

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.

Good machine. Just need to find the time to enjoy it

Works great, lots of features

Bought the MINELAB MANTICORE after returning a Garrett VX5 because multiple bands make such a HUGE difference, and, trying to upgrade to the VX9 via the software ON THE GARRETT website was problematic. Once set up, the functional range and depth of this detector ensures you’re finding AND eliminating unwanted scrap metal and saves time. Walked out onto my local beach and immediately found coins.

Item looked previously used due to bags taped shut not sealed and residue on it from being touched and moved around also headset did not work ( common thing with manticore I heard so I returned it no problems and called Minelab customer service and they said they would mail me new headset out just return other ones when I get them ( Great Customer Support from Minelab) but as I said returned metal detector and got new manticore from bass pro same day did not feel like waiting to play with my new toy. 5 star for Minelab support and 5 Star for Amazon returns 1 Star for sending me out an inferior used product and passing it off as new not open box

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.

Nachdem ich mir 2 mal einen Billig Metalldetektor gekauft habe, habe ich dieses Mal einen teureren Metalldetektor gekauft habe (Minelab Manticore). Und ich muss sagen, Leute lieber etwas mehr Geld ausgeben als zu wenig, das macht sich ungemein bemerkbar. Alles unter 500 Euro ist, soweit ich das einschätzen kann, ziemlicher Müll! Mit dem Manticore bin ich Top zu Frieden und begeistert wie erstaunlich gut das professionelle Gerät arbeitet. Werde den Hersteller (Minelab) vermutlich mein Leben lang treu bleiben. Super Gerät, kann ich nur empfehlen Lg

This is the best quality product I've seen in a long time,it just sings quality,had my reservations to order it from Amazon US but didn't need to worry the import duties were withing the price saved hundreds on UK product Fri. Same company ,paid a small fee to have it fast tracked from USA and it does what it says on the in fast tracked it arrived a few days later brilliant UPS,cannot fault it just need a degree on how to work it now,5 stars guys ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Best on the market.

This is a great metal detector, I had upgraded from the equinox 800 and it’s a big improvement, it’s expensive but in my view worth it. Does take a bit of getting used to though and there are still a few things I think Minelab will iron out in future software updates. The main things I like are the full colour screen which shows iron as red numbers, and the 2D display which gives you a third reference point other than sound and the ID - I dig a lot less trash than before. Also it’s very powerful, but in reality you can’t have the sensitivity up to the top. Overall would recommend, and remember to register for the 3 year warranty when you get it.
