1942 Fascist version. There were two versions of this coin with the difference in the material. Early years were copper, later years were bronzital

I found these with my new ML Manticore. I must say it is a bit more comfortable to swing than my Equinox 800 and it's much easier to distinguish between good targets and trash. The only thing I don't like is you can't connect other Bluetooth headphones to it, just the Minelab 105 headphones. I can't use over the head type headphones without getting a serious headache, so I found some around the neck ones for my Equinox that I really like. I've ordered a BT adapter to plug in to the Manticore's 3.5 jack.

A couple good coin finds.

I've never owned a Minelab but I know they are good detectors. However, one of the reasons I bought the Deus and then Deus II is because how light they are. Makes a huge difference after hours of swinging.

I like the hand grip on the manticore. Weight wise, I walk all day sometimes 8 hours and my legs get tired before my arm.
I like the White's 6000d brochure from 1982, how they brag about it's weight because you'd wear the control box over your shoulder. It was still 4 lbs.

It was a top notch detector 40+yrs ago
Oh the day's when the wrists and forearms 💪 had to be built from a tin of spinach. :laughing7:
