  • Welcome to the Metal Detecting NYC channel. New adventure vlog is here! In today's episode we went on a treasure hunt in the most haunted park in New York with a metal detector. The Minelab Manticore is 2023's most sought after metal detector. But, it's predecessor, the Minelab Equinox is the metal detector that revolutionized modern target separation in metal detecting. We bring the Manticore and Equinox to Prospect Park in Brooklyn to find treasure and match signals. Stay tuned!

      I think that the key point that this video highlights might just be that 99% of finds are in the range of both detectors. The 1% that are just a little deeper or harder to detect might just be where the manticore shines. For most of us, the price isn't worth that 1%.
      Point to note also... Now there are multiple versions of the nox, you'll need to be more specific about which you are comparing. Do they all have the same detection power but different features? I'm lost on that part (as a Nokta guy I stopped paying attention!)

    As Jeff showed us, you must pinpoint first, then you can see what the detector is reading.
    Do you remember starting with the Nox-600? If you immediately started with 50-tones and all-metal you were overwhelmed and you dug far too much trash as a result.

I also have the Deus to and when I use the Deus to find a lot of good stuff I’m gonna come back over the same area with a 900 I find even more they are a great one to punch. There’s no doubt in my mind beside the screen and the headphones on the manticore the 900 is just as good no need to spend the extra money.

  • @tunnelportterror
    @tunnelportterror Před rokem +2

    I found this post today worth noting:
    "The problem was recovery speed. the game has changed where I live. If you want to find old coins you need to hunt iron that people ran from in past."
    underlying issue ? people don't drop pre-1964 silver, pre-1933 gold coins anymore. only so many in ground, and less and less in ground daily, as areas get pounded by detectorists, and more recovered. we're going into era of digging every hit in hopes of finding coins.
    flipside is, where Merrill detects old NYC beaches, will always be best spot. seaside changes daily, relics and coins wash up from offshore, replenishing it. IMHO, he has best metal detecting area in country. it's like people are still dropping silver, gold there, the ocean washes in old stuff from ages ago. detecting is hobby of diminishing returns, unless there's new ground under your feet constantly. there's only so much down there, they stopped making it, a wasting asset just like mining anything else. Merrill has the most productive mine.

    awesome vid Merrill, now you're focused on screen, and loaded for bear 🐻 on device settings... settled to your work, calm calculated detecting...I've seen this phenom before, heavily hunted areas will still yield dimes, pennies....the cheaper detectors, less experienced operators, will miss the small coins...and grab the quarters and larger first- leaving behind straggler dimes, pennies for the determined to find...those quarters are an amazing outlier for a hunted spot! iron trash camouflage was hiding them. just like deer hunting, you also need LUCK! when a big buck walks by at oddball location, you still must be able to take/make the shot. you have a WINGMAN...behind every Ace pilot, is a great wingman. I've found many bullets, ever wonder who fired them at what, why ? lol. SUPERB VIDEO 👍

  • @thebountyfisher
    @thebountyfisher Před rokem +4

    At the 4:20 minute mark, that's classic Minelab tech. The bouncing around, the trace appearing. The one thing the CTX handled really well is the ID - well enough that you could do a lot of the inference right from the screen, and depending on how you configured it, also from the sound. The technique of orienting the coil in a manner to chase out a signals signature has been possible with much older machines. Never 100% reliably though, as even machines I've been using for over 10 years, using similar methods to sniff out bottlecaps, have always been that guessed target. Any bend in even silver coins would cause the same iron grunt or visualization. I feel like the Equinox expanded both the VDI and tonal feedback ranges to cause us to dig more. I too have benefited from the unmasking, but feel a lot of it is way overhyped, and I'd trade the accuracy of the CTX ID over the wide ranges of the Equinox. There's no reason here in Canada a large cent should ring in on the same VDI range as iron, but that's what happens with the Equinox. And it's because certain large cents here used bronze, and not always copper. It's this need to adjust to the machine which has made me less of a believer in the hype of the Nox, because I have older machines that are much better dialed into the VDI and tones than the Equinox can ever achieve. With the added upside that none of those older machines have EMI sensitivity issues where I find myself needing to switch to single frequency on the Nox to stabilize it at locations where old sites I had no issues with EMI, suddenly became issues for EMI when using the "multi-frequency." Sorry for the long rant, but this is a meta topic for me, I'm still trying to get my hands on a Mantictore, but will provide feedback on that when I do. Great video Merrill!

    notice how the well hammered old NYC park yielded much more silver and pennies, than the virgin previously undetected PA. farm trip ? Pa. farmers didn't drop a lot of coins. Kids would go unfed. When a nickel was lost during 1930s Great Depression on a farm, it better damn well be found, or someone got their butt kicked. A nickel meant a loaf of bread for big family 5-10 or more kids.

    I sold my equinox and just bought an extra deus 2 and a big coil. My opinion the deus is the best machine for me. It does what I want, it's comfortable to use all day, and the XP ecosystem is great. Lots of accessories, headphone options, backpacks, hard cases, and 2 extra years of warranty.
    Oh and I love the fact I can charge it while eating lunche or driving to the next spot. 20 minutes of charge adds 2 hours of detecting time. Plus it only takes max of 3 hours to charge compared to overnight like the other good detectors require.
    Thanks Merrill great comparison!

    What a great dig in the park. Both of you did so well. The target trace and the red line were indicating iron in the early parts of your video. The target trace also gave indications of multi-targets, a problem in the urban/suburban area. Did that help at all? The 800 and probably 900 (yeah waterproofed) are probably going to be good enough for most people (along with D2 and the Legend). I keep hearing how good the Manticore does on tiny objects but it is clear it takes time to fully sync with the Manticore. I have heard that if there is an object on the center line it probably is not iron.

    • @jeanponce2017
      @jeanponce2017 Před rokem

      I think you are referring to the pinpointing of the target. Generally a good target pinpoints over where the signal hits it. If iron is the target or nail shaped iron is next to a good target it throws that pinpoint off from the line it is hitting on.

      What Merrill is not putting in consideration to his viewers , is that the Manticore can reach better depths due to the fact it's sensitivity can reach much higher levels. Of coarse that's when conditions allow for it. The Nox maxes out at 25. The Manticore can reach 35.

    Merrill of all the detectors you own which one do you favor the most and have the most fun with?

Thanks again for your awesome videos.

    Great hunt! It was also great that you had Jeff there with the 800 to confirm what you were struggling to infer with the Maniticore. I have to tell you that I have yet to be convinced the Manticore is worth the extra cost compared to the 800. A friend of mine tried the Manticore and the 900 recently and he sold them only to go back to the 800. Oh, and he tried the Deus 1 and Deus 2 with the same results.

      When you become proficient with a machine, it's hard to let it go, especially when it works! People said the same about the E-trac and CTX ....and yes they were good......but they were surpassed by the Equinox. Remember now, the Nox had issues with iron more so until the Fe 2 update came along. Also keep in mind, the Manticore has an update coming in near future. Having the Manticore in had now made my Nox feel primitive in comparison. The screen quality & menu layout is awesome! The construction is 100% better too! The coil isn't going to fling off & it's likely waterproof in comparison to that of the Nox. I'm not bashing the Equinox because we all know it's good but, Minelab has clearly made a better machine now............... The D2 is something special! I'll take that over the Nox all day but, that's my opinion!

Don't get me wrong, the E-trac is still a good machine but, the Nox has the edge in that dept........I had the E-trac & used it for many years with great success but, The Equinox is better in my opinion when it comes to iron infested sites. First was BBS tech, then FBS to the now, faster response multi- IQ,......The tech simply has evolved just like everything else.

    Nice to hear an honest opinion. I have 2 Nox 800s one for each arm!😊 and I know how to set them up for various soil conditions. I also use the D1 and D2. The D2 gets most use because it is SMF and lighter than the Nox. But I am still comparing the D2 to the Nox and will be using the Nox again due to its superior EMI cancelling ability using the Manual mode. The Nox has 19 small frequency shifts, the D2 only 7 which is nowhere near enough.

I believe it might be all metal but would be interested to know exactly. I run the 600 so maybe his settings might be out of range for me but getting close would be great. Thanks great video I'm learning the machine and so far love it!!!
