Hi Guys, thanks for getting the numbers for this machine. The range reminds me of the Garrett AT series. I recon the relationship between metals and alloys doesn’t change but the way different machines read them does.
I notice Minelab has put out an Equinox 900. The difference to the 800 and 600 is the sensitivity goes up to 28 and the machine is lighter and telescopes down to a handy pack for traveling. Eventually the 800 will show-up on auction sites and be affordable for the newcomer
This is a good comparison video for the Manticore v Equinox 900.
Result- the Manticore is worth the extra $500 due to the graphical 2d depth display. This shows where objects are located underground. I don’t know of any other detector that has this.
Both great detectors. I reckon it just comes down to what best fits your budget. I got the 900. Had it for about 6 months. Really getting the hang of it now and very happy with it.
