Manticore Finds Spanish Silver Coin - Savannah Harps

[Ocean7]

While some are busy knocking the Manicore, here's a different opinion on that machine. Savannah Harps had hunted all over this area with Deus II.
Manticore Finds Spanish Silver Coin
1792 half reale @25.44 min. in video.
Note what he says, "the Deus II did not find it" in a real 'live' dig.


Minelab loves silver or so it seems to me.

Did it, or did he miss a 1/2" swing? That's what one will never now for sure.
We all know how you really liked the Deus ll, had to part with it ASAP-(though actually was there enough time spent on learning the simple control pad?)
I will say that one can miss a target easily enough, even more so with a deeper target.
Have detected, dug many a target, returned and dug more and thought how did I miss that one.

I still scratch my head at the one missed target, my 50BC gold Stater.
Dug a half dozen targets in the 10 sq.ft. area, returned a hour later and 6" away from another hole, there it was.
So the question begs-was it the detector of the operator?

90% of the time its the operator. As long as the machine was made in this century, go dig! Go slow! In a hot spot cross over your tracks over and over.

I have always said, no matter what machine really, you still need to sweep the coil over that one cubic square inch of planet earth to find the one coin that you/I missed the previous 12 times you or I may have walked right by or over.

I stand by my evaluation and what I said regarding Deus II for my particular purposes. And your statement just goes to prove that all these side by side evaluations can be dependent on a wide array of variables. This guy does know what he's doing and his yearly ring finds on beach are pretty much proof of that. Still it's fun to tweak the noses of those who think the Deus II is superior to Minelab products. I'm not on that team for certain. All my finds on this site were found with Minelab and they speak for themselves. People can draw their own conclusions. These two machines may be pretty much equal but we'll see once Manicore has several years under it's belt. But for now, where's the blonde with the baseball bat?

hey wait a minute, this game isn't over - I caught that ball!

oh for anybody that wants to see my two cents on Deus II - you'll find it here:

Minelab Manticore

With the XP Deus II‘s taking performance exponentially to the next level, is the Manticore a rushed product in Minelab’s effort to remain relevant? Garret has certainly dropped off the map in regards to performance.

You probably picked up the remote, gave it a minimum amount of study, and got frustrated.
Coil clip, large goes on the large side, pretty basic actually.
Had a 4.5yr old figure it out pretty quick.
"Well you see the big side goes there, and the small side goes there"
But a Chevy/Ford/Dodge owner will still support the company regardless.
You seem to believe that a target couldn't be missed by the operator, and it was solely the machine.
The testing of both machines is still on going, and both are top quality machines.
Deep iron, heavy iron site the Dues is the leader. Salt water beaches it appears that the Manticore is leading.
Simplicity of keypad seems that Manticore has that also.
