We took three Manticore’s out of on a good pasture field that has been heavily detected for over two years. Did we find anything the old machines had missed?
Great video Steve, I appreciate your down to earth honesty and humour - and interesting to see you all out with the Manticores - I too have not been able to get out much this year due to an operation, and I am still getting used to my Manticore but initial thoughts are I like it and it does give me confidence. I need to experiment with some settings so it was good to hear about the Beach to Land seetings, I will look that up. Cheers.
Good effort lads, but judging from the large size of that permission and never ending changes in ground conditions, you could have turned up with Simplex's and still made finds on that day. Some of those finds barely a few inches deep. Manticores are great, but I'm yet to be won over with erratic and inconsistent VDI numbers and the pointless 2D screen. Advanced metal detecting is carried out with ears, not eyes.. The machines look amazing though and I love how bright, crisp and clear the screens are. I still have never owned a Minelab in 10 years of metal detecting, I wonder what they will bring out over the next few years
Yes it’s something we shall never know if other machines would have found them. The only thing we do know for a fact is I stopped going to that field. I could walk around it for twenty minutes or more without a signal. My Ozzy mate Bazza from @Rat Detecting on CZcams is here in the comments. He came over last year and found nothing on there with his Vanquish which is as good as a Simplex. The screen is like any other screen simply a back drop to the audio. Although once mastered I think it’ll be of more use than most screens. In recent years I’ve owned a Deus 2 and a Nox. The Deus 2 I sold because it didn’t find anything more than my beloved Deus 1. The Nox I sold because I didn’t like the menu. It takes a lot for me to bond with a machine but I’m really surprised I’m getting on well with this new one after only two times out. I’ve mainly used a Deus 1 these last seven years. I don’t like Minelabs. I owned one for six years back in the day as my main machine and didn’t find much with it. The Manticore is the first one I actually enjoy using.
Absolutely smashed it steve, that cut halfs a peach, im so glad your enjoying the machine, i love mine. Thanks sgain for the lovely roman coin, iv not found one as nice as that, Anyways instead of saying happy deus, you can now say merry manti 😂
@@AngloCelticMetalDetecting Truly a kind offer, my last time there was in 05. My Mum was born in Cheltenham & there's some family in Swindon. At 73 there's only so much time left but I'd love to. Wonderful to watch everyone's hunts, always fun.
Congratulations on christening your new Manticore Steve by finding an awesome cut half! I was well impressed at the depth Rob recovered that airgun pellet from. I think everybody watching probably already surmised Sid would definitely find a hammered coin or something else equally nice! Sid makes awesome videos on how to set up detectors - he has a special knack of imparting the information in a very easily digestible manner without overwhelming what he is trying to explain.
Im getting a manticore for Mother’s Day- I’ve stuck with the 800 for a while -but a recent weekender I’ve been on really made me see how much difference the manticore makes on pasture. Thanks for the Vids love them and just hope I can learn to master the Manticore 👍🏻 big loves to Bunty ❤
Helo friend! It is wonderfull to see so many happy faces!! 😃😃😃😃 That is what this hobby is all about!!! Congratulations on your sweet finds...! Big hello from new friends and followers from southern Europe!
Manticore doing the job for sure, like the discrimination line, yeah, and the handy menu. well done on the hammered and sixpence lads. Chicken ball song wasn't bad, just needs a little more verses and the pup to sing along 😄Good Luck 2024 with those new machines👍
Yes steve great vid as always, thank you for bigging the farmers up❤, more rallies to come lets get behind our green and safe british produce. Buy british buy seasonal❤❤
You know when it’s deep the pinpoint can’t detect it. Generally I use this for really deep stuff. You get that almost clipping sound on the edge off detection don’t get me wrong ive used the manticore for a year now and had a lot off finds but I do wonder if it’s missing the deep silvers I used to get with the Nox 800. But I was using a 15” coil.I don’t use the 2d as I find it’s not very accurate at depth .. the Manticore is a very fast processing machine. Been using general fast and 5 on the recovery speed.I find it a great machine but it lacks that little bit of almost analogue sound the Nox 800 had at depth. I’ve had a go with a 900 and found that a nice machine as well. Anyway happy digging..be there on the 27th come on Tommy…
Hello buddy. I’m very passionate about detecting and love chatting to other diggers. I hope you do really well with it mate and thanks for dropping in the comments. 😊
@@seanberesford2365 Bunty was my late wife’s dog long before I met either of them. Also the cat Tilly. We miss her but we all look out for each other. Bunty is 18 and a quarter years old bless him. I’m glad you and your daughter are enjoying the vids mate.
It’s a tough call. I think it’s much better than the Deus 2 I had. I’m not bias in any of this. I think they were both over priced probably. The only way I could afford the manticore was to sell a load of finds. Also got a £400 discount from my sponsor.
Glad you got a new machine you’re happy with. I have the legend but have been looking at the Manticore myself. Can never have to man machines laying around.
Interesting to see the comparison to the XP. When I got my Nox, I'd thrashed my best field with the XP. The Nox totally brought it back to life... found tons of stuff that was otherwise out of range, but gotta go low and slow with the Minelabs... a distinct lag compared to XP's. A good start for you tho!
Yes I’m not a natural Minelab user and I didn’t bond with the Nox when i had that. It’s good that I’m getting to grips with this one already. Thanks Donna and good luck if you get out.
@@AngloCelticMetalDetecting Just got to take your time with the Minelab. I hated the Nox when I first got it. Still not my favourite machine. But it does clean up if you're slow and patient. Out yesterday, a bit of old gold plate and a stunner of a mount!
Thanks Stephen and guys very informative.I have had the Nox 800 for nearly 5 years now and love it too bits, i may try the MC at some point and go over some smashed land that has produced quality finds last 3 years .🥰
Buster saw the vet last week about his eye. He will be booked into the groomers very soon as he always is this time of year when it starts getting a bit warmer. No need to shout and no need to point out the obvious either. He’s 18 and a quarter years old. Since his original owner died my late wife I’ve looked after him myself. I’ve never owned a pet before. I spend £80 a month on his heart tablets. I’m not working lately because he’s so dependent on me. Do I sound like the sort of owner who needs advice shouted at them from a passing stranger?
@@ontheroaddaily6136 ! It’s called an exclamation mark. Tends to refer to people shouting. So now it’s a wash he needs? You obviously don’t watch my videos much. They often end with him in the shower.
@@TheLandPirates1 big events are ok. I’m a bit bored of them these days though. I believe we all carry it within us to be happy even if we don’t get tickets to certain events. We just have to make our own fun.
Interesting experiment Steve. Firstly I'm glad you put sid in his child seat in the front of your car.clunk clip every trip. Don't know if we are even allowed to say that anymore. As you know mate I'm the dinosaur that uses the garrett AT pro so when we eventually hook up in lincolnshire I would be interested to match your manticore against my steam driven garrett and really see if 1800 quid versus 500 quid ish makes such a difference. We need to check it over the same hole and decide whether we would dig it. I think without you realising it you now have set down a big challenge to all the producers of metal detectors and the users of them. It's going to be great to see who comes out tops. Congratulations for nearly hitting that million views mate. You and bunty deserve it so much.❤
Seen as ya asked nicely I will leave a message. OR should I say a poem. Here we go. Ime just a old dog with curly grey hairs nobody loves me nobody cares. I've got no teeth and wobbly knees. But me dad's machine is a load of bollox 😂😂😂😂😂❤

To be honest lad you doing a fantastic job, love the fact you are new to the Manticore just like most of us but here you are showing very good screen footage of how the Beast works with the VDI , how it separates, unmasks, how top ferrous bottom ferrous works , we have another teacher a good one who shows videos of what is going on ta .
