Hi, my name is Merrill Kazanjian. New York City is an amazing place to go metal detecting. We have lots of parks, colonial history and great beaches for beach detecting. I have gone to all five boroughs of New York City To Metal Detect and beyond. I also currently own 19 metal detectors. I want to have the best and I want to help you choose the best as well. Below I will showcase some of the playlists on this channel:

Minelab is my brand man. Im getting one, one way or the other. The wife won't be happy about it though. Better start saving now lol
LOL I completely understand!
Here! here!....Same hear but, I have to admit, I lost confidence in the Nox due to it's consistent problems it was having.....I personally didn't experience those known problems but, I knew it was a matter of time!.....So, I sold it off for the D2 & truly don't regret that decision.......However, This Manticore may renew my faith in Minelab......Needless to say, I'm getting one!
I really like you intellectual honesty. First time I can see American citizen who are honest about American products. Thank you for videos. Belgian guy who’s leavin in Corsica and send this message from Thailand ;-) have a nice day mate.
Thank you!!!
I will only buy one after you run it thru your paces and we then can see what it can do to what it say's it can do. CHOW!
I cant wait to get my hands on it!
Another great video you answered any kind of questions I had I find myself coming back to your videos keep it up.
Glad to hear it Lucky!
There a old saying, beware of the man that carries only one stick.lets all of us hope for a better machine,it sound to me that race is on,Merrill keep doing the good work your doing,thank you sir.
Thank you Juan!
Great summation based on the information we know up to this point. Obviously from the engineer's comment they are still doing 'in field' testing! I'll be following this release closely and look forward to your updates Merril.
I wholeheartedly agree. They had to respond to the Deus 2 but there is more fine tuning to come.
I learn a lot about metal detecting by watching ur videos sir im just a biggener.... Thank you gidbless ur channel.
Thanks Merrill, could hardly wait till you get your hands on one and gives us a true look at how good it might be.
Keep swinging and digging
👍👍
Thank you!!!! I can’t wait to try it out and see where it fits in the detecting landscape. Minelab is THE heavyweight and I suspect that it will not disappoint!
Hello from Bakersfield California. Thank u very much for the latest news on up coming new detector.
Of course. Can’t wait to try it out.
Merrill, I did it again yesterday. I had to mail in my Deus II coil, it would not take a charge. I got it back in 8 days. I took it to a part of my local park where I have never found silver. Yesterday struggling in tems well over 100 degrees, I pulled three silver dimes in less than an hour. All about eight inches deep. I have hunted this area mulitpal times with my NOX 800. It is dry dirt. The Deus locked on swinging in two directions. This was the second time I dug silver at this park that the NOX, or my E-trac, or Garrett Max could not find. Simple settings, turn the volume down on everything (your not going to find gold and Indian cents) except 91 and up, and nickles.This way your macine is relatively quiet, except when you pass over a copper penny, or dime and it sounds out loud and clear and stops you in your tracks. Just to let you know, I dug three rusty nails too.
Cant wait. Sounds like a hybrid. CTX/Equinox
Same here!!!
Standing by and great show 👏
This is why I stay clear of big venues. Some of the questions and comments the engineer had to endure made me cringe, as a Brit. "Stick it (the Vic Silver), on the ground and wave it over it. I wanna see the potential depth". UGH! Merrill, please bro, do not think we on this side of the pond are all like that. These 'lot' wouldn't know class from clasp. Not-withstanding, ML are supreme engineers, so this machine will work very well, coupled with the carbon fibre composite parts the durability will be up to scratch too, hopefully. Quality costs, so too the need to impress the 'seriousness' of the average owner, whatever the price. For me, it's a sting, but my op counts for zilch in the general sheme of things. Cheers for the headup Merrill. Take care fella.
this is were the deus 2 can win any detector on the market if they choose with power as the battery is stored in the coil and new batteries releasing all the time they can make a coil that has a beast of a battery inside and can pump some serious power if needs be
It will be on my shopping list for sure. Thanks for sharing Merrill.
Same here Anthony!!!!
Same!.....I put my pre-order in already!.......I'm confident Minelab did their homework!
@@carlfr2977 There not taking pre-orders yet are they?
@@harrysurtees8710 some local shops started a list already like fort Bedford detecting in PA
@@harrysurtees8710 In some places....Yes!
Thank you for your information bro, on the minelab manticore
Thank you!
I just added it to my Christmas wish list! :)
Thank Merrill for sharing with us and good job to.
Thank you as always Jimmy!
Great inside scoops Merril, awesome 😎. I heard 5 meters for under water……15’ vs D2 60’ . Beautiful detector though, probably can’t go wrong, as long as they figured out leakage for us underwater hunters🤙🏽
Years ago I had a F75 and the boost mode did help with depth in CLEAN ground only
I have heard a lot of good things about the F75!
I have a CTX 3030 and the the F75 in boost mode was used right beside me. That machine gets great depth in clean ground when using it.
@@immortalprophecy3465 I kinda miss the F75 but multi-frequency definitely opened up new ground
Thanks for the info. Thinking this could be epic.
Yessir!!!
I can’t wait to see your videos testing the thing. I think minelab leads the way with detecting technology.
They most definitely do! That is the company that everyone (that cares....I.E. XP and Nokra Makro) is gunning for! I am most definitely buying and reviewing!
@@MetalDetectingNYC I’ve been hunting with minelab for nearly 20 years. I had the old quatro. I don’t know if you remember that one.
My Deus II out performed my NOX 800. IMO at best Minelab is keeping up with XP detectors. When it comes to weight, my Deus II weighs 2 lbs, and the new Manticore weighs 3 pounds. That is 50% heavier.
I'm sure the Manticore will be just fine, but personally, I liked how XP announced the Deus 2 ... much less marketing hype. Just a video of a guy opening a Deus 2 box. XP let the initial users do all the talking, which to me, carries much more credibility than marketing hype.
Being a fan of the ctx for 7 years now the machine does get a bit heavy in current or a beach with one foot rollers. Interested in this one for sure. But like most new machines that come out , you usually have to wait about a year for all the glitches to be addressed after the release. ! Probably field testing it for a few months before they announce a release date.
Thank you Merrill!!! So helpful to get this information, please continue to keep us up to date on all the latest info!!!
Here's a question I have. Does raw power always help? If I put more signal into the ground, don't I get more reflected signal back? And more noise in my detector as a result of the extra reflected noise?
Just wondering.....
Thank you FenderStrat! I am wondering the same thing and I’m trying to clarify regarding the power.
In my uppinion you can only put more power in the ground if the ground let you, so in most cases it probably won't work
Great video. I was hoping MINELAB would have made this waterproof to a deeper depth. Hopefully they have worked out those pesky flooding issues that the nox is prone to.
Same here because that would definitely make the machine that much more waterproof.
Hi Merrill, this new and on the way Metal Detector has some interest to me but, I think I'll stick with my original choice, the Minelab 600 or the 800. But I do thank you to no end Merrill for the heads-up on this incredible machine. Love your channel Metal Detecting NYC, oh, and by the way, I picked up some of that Haagen-Dazs cherry-vanilla ice cream this morning, never tried it before, I hope it's good. Signed, Greg the Egg.
Thanks Greg!
Looking forward to buying one .
Yessir!
I wonder where the mandingo will be on your list @ iratemetaldetector. Got a feeling it will be on number 2 below the legend but above the deus 2.
Yep I'll be buying one
I need that detector... Nice video teacher
Hope it is worth the Wait! Looks good but performance is the main factor.
Hi really like your show.
Which metal detector would you recommend for a beginner around the 1000. Dollar mark.
Brill stuff, peace from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪.
THANK YOU Tony!
Hi Merrill. I have the following doubt not just related to a specific detector, but to anyone. If the coil detects objects upon it, not just under it, even though the wire is isolated, isn't it possible that the wire generates some interference? Even more so the detector has more power... and why don't they design a shaft that has the wire inside it? Thanks !!
I will wait till it’s out for a little while before I buy see how it works in the Field first
Whites and fisher have had this technology for 20 years. Running dual frequency. Minus the vdi display. $1600 plus shipping . I'm sure.clive and Drayton already have books ready to come out on this unit.
It’s a more evolved multi frequency though. I had the whites beach hunter 300 which ran two frequencies. I will always love that machine but the SMF in the Nox illuminated so much that was never found before.
Can't wait for the reviews to come out. How well does it do in salt water areas?
Im going to try to be on that first order!
Thanks Merrill. I see your committed to buying the Manticore as we just heard about this detector yesterday. In my wildest dreams, I cannot see anyone making a better detector than the Deus II. The Deus II has blown the NOX 800 out of the water. I have dug a lot of silver coins in a lot of places that i have hunted before with the NOX 800. For instance, an RV park where I pulled seventeen silver coins using the NOX in a total of five days hunting. Going back this year with the Deus II, in five minutes i hit a silver dime, ten minutes later another. In three days going over the same area as last year, I pull thirteen silvers including an SLQ, plus 32 wheaties. I know, I know, this story sounds fishy, and I cannot hardly believe it myself, except I know it's true. I've pulled over 1,400 silver coins in eleven years of detecting so I know a little about how to metal detect. I love my Deus II even though right now it is in the shop, I am unable to charge the coil.
Please keep up your excellent informative and educational videos, you are the bomb!!
PS I see online an electric bike that looks awesome that is selling for $1,599.00. Just saying.
I have a friend that is a dealer in UK, he said they are showing up in 2 weeks in Europe.
Also - there is a person north of me that will find every weak spot that he can break on it within the 1st month it comes out so we will know if it is really waterproof, and the coil tabs will not break by looking at it -
But will the manticore have tones that can be set to sound like ctx and etrak
Elaborated on in the new video. There is an entirely new sound package with many options.
Like your channel just wish you would do something on, Who's chasing Who, when it comes to metal detector's ,, I'll give you an example ,, Ford came out with the Raptor and the other companies have been chasing it since and while they have made great progress in doing so 'The Standard' has been and still is the Ford Raptor ,, so I'm pretty sure who everyone is chasing and who set the standard .......
Merrill….With as many units that have been returned for flooding, wouldn’t you think they would make a point to elaborate on “waterproofing”……something just a little more than “yeah ..waterproof”….🤷♂️ My first flooding came from washing the salt water off with a hose…. Absolutely my only complaint about it….!
P.S-I love the Guide to finding rings…! On my second time reading it, putting the knowledge to use later this week…..!
Yes!!! And YES!!!!!! 😎
Does it come with a chain so it doesn't crawl away?
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
I wish they had commented more on headphones. Will it take plugged in headphones( submersible) as an option instead wireless? I believe wireless headphones become useless once the detector control module is fully submerged. So submersible to five meters becomes only one meter with the control housing above the water.
Yes! That is exactly what happened to me with wireless! Loses signal when box is underwater and headphones aren’t
Damnit!! This is one of those times I realize the fact that there is 2 tragedies in this world. One is not getting what you want,and the other is getting what you want. I rue the day I said I wish minelab would introduce their new product. Dbl edge sword. I have to have This!! We all know that they are going to talk it up in the hype phase.. keeping in mind that the performance of this product will be based on it's performance in the market. May be a good idea to wait until the hype phase it's over and all the kinks get worked out
That’s where I hope to help the consumer. I will buy and report back. My full report on the 19 detectors I own is on my website iratemetaldetectors.com
I have a good feeling that this machine is going to be a good one!.....Solid!
Exactly. By then Notka will have Their New machine
John have you seen how prices have skyrocketed. Have you noticed how much the Equinox has gone up in price? You will have to pay more the longer you wait, maybe?
Any info as to waterproof headphones, will the ones for equinox fit this one?
That is a good question! I just archived this and I will look to answer this in future videos!
Not sure about that too but, I'm hearing the Equinox wireless h -phones work with it.....So maybe?
They're talking transmit gain (power), not battery voltage. It will make a significant improvement, because it is on the other side of the voltage regulator
Interesting
Looks like it is the long awaited Improved Nox.
Minelab were asking at Detectival, last year, what features we would like in a new machine.
So all the features we requested other than lightness. Still very very close to the Nox in weight and production models will possibly be heavier allowing for tolerances and it being easier and cheaper to produce heavy machines.
Probably same price as the Deus II like you say Merrill.
I need a light weight detector. So probably not for me.
I hear 2.9 lbs.
@@MetalDetectingNYC 1.3Kg pretty much same as the Nox. 1kg and you would be getting there. The Deus II is much lighter. It falls into the Nox category. And Mark Lawrie (Chief Engineer) said Vanquish and Equinox users would find it easy to use. If you listen to all the interviews on TH-cam it is not finished yet either But the Minelab Chief Engineer is touring Europe trying out the prototype. It is peak season in Europe for the big detecting rally events because the crops have been harvested now.
And wow that gold Celtic stator hoard that came up on the Heart Of Kent event was amazing.
My Guess is it will be a few months yet 👍
Manticore looks like is really going to be beast , I might have to start saving 😂
I used the Legend on the beach again. It proved to me that I need another Legend beach video. I have seen growth with the new firmware!
@@MetalDetectingNYC people think because it’s priced so cheap is not a top contender and they are wrong , the legend is well capable of finding stuff and deep , it’s all on the settings you have and how well you know the machine , im interested on the manticore but I’m happy with the legend because every time I do go out I come back with something, I need to start making more videos
Yeah sure when the nnx came out yeah.mate on board up date how many I think we had 2 I wouldn't trust them as far as I could spit thanks for the video
after seeing this I am already looking for someone to sell my 800 to and I think I only used it twice so far - been afraid to go near the water where I hunt most - Been planning on using my TDI BH with the Blu3 Nemo I just picked up but this will also work for that - I have not been able to hunt even an hour in this heat, (Ft Laudl) the 8 hr hunt days for me are gone - I am in mid 70's and have been stuck sitting in front of PC almost 15 hrs every day for almost 10 yrs - I also have a Whites Surf PI DF used once then the TDI BH came out a month later -
I already sold mine. Reason: I have the Deus II and I like it a lot better than the NOX 800.
Hi I'm Fabrice from Tuscany Italy, I've a Equinox 800 and Excalybur 2, just a little question...what kilo frequency maximum for the manticore?
Thanks💪💪💪
He said in the interview that it has more bands than the Equinox but he did not clarify which ones. I will keep you posted !
Thank you!
I definitely have a better vibe than some other detector company announcements. I hunt coins so anything that allows me to skip some of the pull tabs, can slaw and bottle caps… I’m interested. We have an old park in Memphis that is a mind field of trash. Even my new Deus 2 struggles. I look forward to your no Hoodoo Voodoo review… wait that was someone else.
Brent, I took my Deus II's park mode and modified the volume control. 61-62 LOUD and 91 and above LOUD. Every other VID is quiet, very quiet. This has worked for me. I am digging a lot of silver coins that my NOX 800 missed.
@@harrysurtees8710 I haven’t detected in a long time with my Nox. It is a great detector but I love the Deus 2.
Basically another 1000.00 for about .12" more depth (debatible) and a little more depth under water(debatible) and a face lift,plastic surgery is very expensive ,the hook is bated and in the water just waiting for the bobber to bob,there will be a lot of good detectors on Ebay KEEP ON DIGGIN!!!!!!
I mentioned this comment in the new video
good stuff 💥👍🏴☠️
Thanks Ski Searcher!!!!
I want to try it
Did I hear, depth 5m, ? Well that's encouraging,, that means it should At least be good for, the 3m 10'ft.
So not to be a complete negative Nelly, Price tag sounds reasonable, It's gonna be interesting to See how it performs on the beach.
Thanks Merrill.
Your welcome! I take Minelab very seriously. Detecting innovation is really down to three companies, Minelab, Nokta Makro and XP. I think that they studied the Deus 2 and can beat it. Nokta is right there too and at a better price point.
In the US I have heard a price of $1599 . Does that include taxes or are they on top or is that the price you pay ?
In the UK $1599 is around £1200 but as already found out by a dealer here our price is going to be £1799 . Not with power bills going through the roof at around 5 or 6 K per year average .
I’m sure there are taxes on top
Minelab make the best detectors in the world.
Nobody asked them about Coil ears , and it looks like they are going with a Garrett, Nokta 0-100 scale . I don’t know that I want to swing a 15” coil at the beach so I would have to buy the likely $300 8” coil idk 🤷🏻♂️
Surprised to see they have not buried the cable in the shaft ?
That is a reasonable price i thought it was going to be $2400 and hey $1000 is still a $1000.I think you mentioned it may have a " headlight" system IDK what that would take away from the battery life,strength?One of your subscribers asked a question about the "Rabbit ears" on the coil.Did you notice if they changed them from the video....Also I'm wondering if other coils will be interchangeable,like the Nox 6" or any coiltec coils.BTW bought the 15" coiltec for my 600 like the depth um i guess like any larger coil little on the heavy side but very stable
I did too! I was expecting > 2400 dollars also. There is NO JUSTIFIABLE REASON that the 3030 should sell for that price in 2022, 10 years after it was initially released. It has the GPS but I will take detecting chops over that.
They did indeed & it looks solid!......I'm sure those aftermarket coils ( coiltek )will come later. As of now, Minelab will have 3 coils available for the Manticore
Hi, nice show but more expensive! if this machine has filter like Etrac or 3030 I mean you can ignore iron or unwanted metals using 2D screen It good investment. I wish you ask about 2D target point and something like what 3030 can do It. I am not from US. my team is looking for treasure using GPX5000 and I am working with that and also have Etrac and I think most stable metal detector I ever seen is Etrac but its going to be grandpa :)). My team have NOX, 5000, Etrac and in my opinion for gold nugget, coin, treasure and antiques GPX5000 is best for all time, however It's difficult to operation with that so many features and when you use big mono coils you can see the power of beast but more difficult to handle than DD coils.
Thanks bro for video, please come with news from Manticore again I want to sell NOX and may If I like Manticore going to buy that. I need more stability than NOX!
Do you have access to any of the closeup videos that people were taking of the coil? I'd like to see if they've reengineered the ears. Awesome video. Thanks for staying on the cutting edge of such a huge innovation for our hobby.
I regret not putting that in now! They do have that in the addicted to bleeps video. Here is the link Marti: th-cam.com/video/0Ni9EAg2sck/w-d-xo.html
It looks like the tabs are now on the shaft instead of on the coil. Let's hope that's an actual innovation and not just moving the problem. Thanks, Merrill!
This is exactly what we want. 3 major companies throwing us their best, fighting to please us. I predicted when the deus 2 came out minelab wouldn't be far behind with a new product. The price itself is disappointing considering how good the Nox was/is for the money. Double the price of the Nox for a manticore but is it double the features and depth? No way. Minelab have always produced detectors better then it's predecessors but one must justify the $$ for the extras you are getting with a new detector. Target separation and ID have always been more important to me then depth. Nice to see 100 ID targeting.
I would love it if Garrett re-entered the competition!
@@MetalDetectingNYC the new axiom gold detector looks interesting. Hopefully they bring a similar coin, relic jewellery machine out and waterproof
Dude honestly I am getting the Deus 1 if the manticore is too expensive. I was told and saw in the deus 2 video there would be a LITE version available, and that was in February. I already use a nox for most of my digs, and the deus 1 is still a VERY capable iron machine. I’m not necessarily in a financial position at my age to just dump that kind of money on a metal detector. I’m not saying it’s bad, but is it worth $1,599? Love the videos, keep it up Merrill. 👍
Your argument is a valid one!......I'm just glad they are introducing a better machine that appears to be bad ass without a CTX-3030 price!
@@carlfr2977 yeah man I agree.
Capable iron machine that tells you a rusty washer 10 inches deep is a coin every single time. I got rid of my deus 1 for that reason
@@oldArmyVet I mean separation 😂 yeah but almost all detectors have that problem.
@@1LWiLNY key word, almost. I've never dug a rusty anything where the nox displayed a good signal and number and it was a rusty washer. Ever. I dug somany good signals with my deus that showed a good target I'd with a good tone and it was junk. More times than I can count, hit the target ,good, signal and vdi run the nox over it ,ever single time it would show it was junk or iron.
I wonder if they will have bone conduction headphones with the Manticore. And if possible, it would be a good idea if somehow, they could incorporate a buit in power bank in waterproof headphones in case you are out in the water and you realize you don’t have a full charge. Turn a switch on, on the headphones to power bank mode and keep on swingin’. Start saving up your detector change and maybe you will have the $1500+ by the time it is available.
Interesting
With you on this Luis, the bone conductors in the ocean so much better than the Nox yellow marshmallows, louder and don’t fall off 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Sold my DEUS 2 and went back to using my Equinox 800. I felt the Deus 2 was poorly made and had crappy target id IMO. I hope this Manticore can live up to the hype?
The target ID is definitely quirky!
They probably will drop the 3030. No Bluetooth on the new model. We will be waiting hopefully release date will before winter ❄️
Didn’t ask about the flood issue like the equinox!!
Let me know when they build one with GPS so I can actually REPLACE my 3030, I have no use for this, especially since I just bought a D2 and mounted a Garmin eTrex 22x to the shaft. (Same thing I did to the GPX-5000) The only thing that lacks is the ease of plugging it into the PC and downloading all the pertinent data like depth and target ID. Maybe when they actualy try to replace the 3030 they will make one you can name the find points so you don't have to cary around a notebook and write down 001 - canslaw, 002 - bottle cap, 003 - rusty nail, etc. One thing I haven't seen mentioned about the new detector is anything on its power supply, is it field replaceable, or when it goes dead is your detecting trip over? Keep up the great videos!!
I admittedly have bashed the 3030 in this video and past videos, mostly because of a lack of separation that equals to the new generation of detectors (Equinox, Deus 2, Legend). I will admit that I didn't really dive in to the data and geotagging capabilities of the 3030. Would you be interested in writing a post on my website about why the 3030 is irreplaceable (at least so far)? I don't want people to only hear my perspectives! If you are interested, email me at kazanjianm@gmail.com. Thanks for your insightful comment!
By US law the transmit power of an RF signal is capped at 5 watts, whether a CB radio or detector coil. back in the White's 4,000 days we would wire a linear amp for illegal CB radio use and get huge depth increases ( also unstable and noisy )
Wow!!! That is a valuable piece of knowledge there!
Jeff you can run it with a proper license. I sell survey repeaters that hit 19 watts you just need to get licensed to use them. They want to make sure your not breaking up military and or pedestrian airplane signals . I'm sure it's a gov money grab as well.
@@midnightcoil The license is the key here, you always needed one for higher power Ham and SSB radio. CB you never really needed more than a paper license they just issued to anyone, and in reality nobody got one. And because it was a civilian radio it's broadcast power was limited. Some home radio ham stations could actually broadcast and hit Europe ! The inline solid state amps we illegaly wired to CB's and metal detectors did boost output power, maybe to 10 watts, maybe not.
I'll keep my Deus 2 thank you it's paid for
I hear ya. Better than the XP Deus 2? I don't think so. 5 year warranty. 60 feet in water. Detachable control unit. Wireless coil.
Water proof as in CTX or Nox?
Nox and waterproof really shouldnt go in the same sentence!!! LOL
@@MetalDetectingNYC I must be lucky, only ever had to send one back
Looks cool but XP still has them beat on water proof depth and ergonomics we'll see on the other features glad to see them producing something to compete on the market that's waterproof 👍🦀
Diving depth and ergonomics totally agreed!
But, they ain't beating them in screen size & clarity!.......That blows the D2 away in my opinion!
@@MetalDetectingNYC Buenas tengo un deus2 y tengo problemas con la bateria y la bobina se mojo
Arrepentido y no lo recomiendo apenas 2 meses de uso
And the coil attachment has been re-designed. No more broken coil ears? Maybe lol
I was trying to tell if i saw that sadly my 11"& 15" the ears broke i tried the repair job but it was never the same.I bought the coiltec 15" beach coil Merrill had mentioned much happier with that tab setup and it seems to go deeper then the mine lab coil
@@tsierfeld The 'ears' are on the shaft on the Manticore instead of the coil.
I just hope the coil doesn’t have a battery to charge, as does the Deus.
Can’t wait to see you testing this. Thanks so much 😀😀😀
I just recently started up with metal detectors, so I have no industry reference point, but I’m stuck by how haphazard and unprofessional this product announcement event was held, out on some field somewhere, waving a single demo product around. Too many gaffs to list. My 2¢.
Bamos aprobar Esa maquina q tal.saludos.
👍
I wonder what the battery life would be like
Especially with a higher power going in to the ground.
Merrill, this comment is for Minelab. Hay Minelab, get your new machine in Merrill's hands. Send one to Merrill and let him test it!!!
Not having GPS like my ctx is not a plus for me
Interesting. I have never known anyone who used that function but ive seen a second comment like yours. The CTX is a fascinating data machine but I couldnt get past the lack of separation.
@@MetalDetectingNYC I found it will seperate better in two tones than any other mode. What I mean by this is, the ability for the CTX to send out a tone response quicky that I will hear but might miss by just checking out the screen info. I found this out when I had both my CTX and my TeK G2+ over the same target. The CTX in Multi tone
was just plane confusing, but nock it down to two tones and walk around a target could prove fruitful in producing a couple keepers that I would have otherwise missed. Check out this video of a gentleman using an Etrac to do what is almost the same as what I do with the CTX

@@MetalDetectingNYC Having the GPS in a large 100 acre field and marking eack target with GPS and checking out on google where the finds are coming from is a big help. Especially if you want to return to the same area. Mark the spot where you stopped and let the CTX walk you right back there
I don’t think 50% more power is going to translate into a significant leap in depth. In the words of Dave Johnson “Getting extra depth out of a VLF, multifrequency, or PI machine is very difficult, because these machines follow an inverse 6th power law relationship between signal voltage and depth. If everything else is maintained equal, doubling the depth requires 64 times as much signal. If this is done by increasing transmitter power, doubling depth requires 4,096 times as much battery drain. That’s the basic reason why depth increases come so slowly in this industry.” Then there’s the question of how much of that power increase is directed toward that fancy new screen and dynamic graphics.
I am looking into this quote right now I am very grateful Mr. Technical!!!
The Minelab engineer claims it equates to more depth......Maybe this machine has a secret sauce in it & explains why Minelab is the leader in this industry?....Got to admit, their tech is top notch!
Looks like you should have been the engineer on the Manticore 😅😅
@@carlfr2977 I’m sure it will equate to more depth under some circumstances. However, even Minelab is not immune to the laws of physics, so any increase will be incremental, rather than leaps and bounds over existing platforms. The overall point is when you factor in the inverse 6th power law a 50% increase in power is not as substantial as it sounds on its face.
@@Mr.Technical77 I 'm not making these claims!.....Their engineer does though.....He's part of the team in the design.......Minelab does claim it runs like its more immune to the environment it's dealing with.( handles ).
I'm thinking the coil is where the so called power in depth
Interesting thought . On that note perhaps a Deus 2 vs Manticore power comparison is in order.
@@MetalDetectingNYC Ready to RUMBLE..........
"New and improved" Been happening for a long time... Been over 50 years since we last went to the moon. Soon to add TR mode to the line up.
Does look a goodin
yessir!!!
Mükemmel
Not sure I’m digging 20 inch targets
$2,500 in Australia
Deus 11 all the way.
I wish the jpanese creates a metal detector ang compete with the top brands...... Cause in the philipines all metal detector dont work especily if the gold is wrap with aspalt..... Im talking about the world war 2 loots....
There is a lot of ground mineralization in the Philippines. You need a detector that can handle that. Equinox, Deus 2, Manticore, Legend would all be fine.
Thank you sir noted... And yes i agree super high. sir iim only using go pro66... Im only aiming for give aways.... Hopefully sir soon i can barrow one of ur old detector :(
Remember when they released the Equinox same time in 2017. The dealers didn't get them till February 2018!!!!! Soooo let's say March or April of 2023....
You might be right!.....Hopefully Minelab realizes that .....and this time they are prepared to deliver the product with a better rollout? Lets hope!.....However!...there is a supply & demand problem currently happening right now.
@@carlfr2977 not forgetting microchip shortage also ...
@@buddywilliamson3098 I know what you mean!.....Let's hope that won't be an issue!
All I have to say is if Minelab says anything is upgradable....maybe right out of the box you get some kind of update at that time...nit sure why out of the box is not up to date, but that said....have and own Minelab (updatable) metal detectors. How many times have the machines that I have been updated by Minelab.....total is = ZERO!!!
Just saying owning a 3030 detector and zero updates....after the cost of more than any other relic detector, and zero updates. Who cares if you can connect it to the internet. You will never get an update!!! Thanks Minelab.
Am looking forward to the new Manticore but don't know if I will fork out that kind of money again for a machine of theirs.
BTW. I love my 3030 and can hold my own with it against a Nox. Experience does come into play at times and yes the detector does the rest.
£1800 for us in the UK I'll stick with my nox
Apuesto a que será lo mismo que el equinox 800 en todos sus aspectos! Solo con la diferencia que pagarán el doble de dinero por si ser a prueba de agua y filtraciones 🤣
If anything would put me off buying this machine, it would be Mark. He’s as excited about his new machine, as I am about my new pair of crocs, I bought for beach detecting. What a limp biscuit, they should send him back to Australia.
I’ve bought 7 minelab machines over the past 10 years, and used them almost daily.
I just bought a Deus 2 used it about 10 times , and love it more than all the all my minelab’s put together.
My finds bag has 60 to 80% less iron compared to
any of my minelab machines.
My beach is full of high grade Stainless bolts and nuts, they ring up like gold on my Excal and Nox, but the Deus 2 gives a good signal with a little grunt and that grunt tells me everything, sometimes I’ll be two digs in and then it’ll grunt. Then I stop and move on.
Anyway I’m in the market for another waterproof machine as backup, or as my main machine. I was going to buy another Deus 2 or a Nocta. I’m going to have to wait and see.
Hope Minelab hooks you up with a free machine, real quick.
They are sooo scared from Deus II that they've made a pimped up equinox which can detect to 6" and can't discriminate anything 😂
Equinox is deep there is no questioning that
@@MetalDetectingNYC nice joke. 😂
