Perhaps the most complete review on the Double Score you will see.
In this review I compare the hardware. You will be surprised at what I found.

Excellent video I have a vanquish and have been thinking about upgrading to the double score. I do wish it came with a 10 inch coil as I do parks 95% of the time. Still thinking about the upgrade. Look forward to seeing the next video.

@mowerdog 4 ай бұрын

The Vanquish series is very capable. I can say right now that either one of the scores is a definite upgrade to a Vanquish 540.

very nice review, some items for sure are personal preference but I definitely can relate to the handle design as I have that slipping issue with my nox

@mowerdog 4 ай бұрын

Yes. The handle is superior. So far, it's a super buy for $400.

One thing I like about my Manticore is the coil bolt that has no nut and washers. It's convenient enough that I no longer have to buy an extra lower shaft just to make coil changes easier. Otherwise your points are right on target.

Awesome Feature Review. I think alot of Detectorists like perfection so your Points all make sense! Whites sure dropped the Ball they pretty much had the market at one point. Too well fed and lost touch with what the customer wanted I guess plus no new innovation! Sure Impressed with Nokta they have really been listening to the customer and taking Criticism well which is what is needed to be a leader in the Industry! I wish Nokta would make a trigger finger pin point button like the whites machines had that was just a natural place to put it and was so Ergonomic. Looking forward to More Reviews from you on this Machine!

@mowerdog 4 ай бұрын

You're right about the trigger pinpoint. I would guess the issue would be making it waterproof. Adding a boot over a toggle doesn't last long. But if it could be figured out, Nokta could do it.

He is one of a handful that fully understood all the functions. When it first came out, I went to a training session with my distributor. He was supposed to know the machine inside and out. When we started asking questions, he admitted he knew very little.

@toddbarze5377 4 ай бұрын

@mowerdog you are correct! But it's only $100 less than a super loaded legend. Do you think nokta put themselves in a somewhat difficult spot with the pricing?

@mowerdog 4 ай бұрын

@toddbarze5377 I believe so. I know the Legend is the better buy. But Bill "Dirtfishing" has one. So comparing targets against my DS will be more interesting.

I didn't want a Legend because my hunting buddy Bill has one. We like to compare targets with different machines. Nothing to learn checking a target with two Legends.

Companies buying advertisement through free goods. Cant blame you though, a lot of tubers doing it. I wanted to try some of the products early on until I saw some of the tubers getting bashed because of their opinions. Wrong way to handle it. Too many options to put up with that kind of B.S. I will stick with ML for now.

Lost the will to live watching this video And if you are so observant Why did you complain about the manticore handle angle BUT failed to understand why it is like that ???? The manticore handle angle is determined by your arm The manticore arm cup sits higher off the main shaft It was designed like that specifically for this reason

@mowerdog 4 ай бұрын

You must have skipped the part where I explained why the Manticore's arm cuff is higher. You also missed where I explain that I must compensate for it's height too.

First of all you said a small coil goes just as deep, stupid statement as its simply not the case, as for the VS of these detectors there is no comparison at all so why even bother, but we all know why you have did this VS, its the free machine and thats all your really interested in, if you had a go out with one machine on your best site we all know the one you will take, so another waste of time video that proves nothing, other than you make money from it....🙄

@mowerdog 4 ай бұрын

An 8 inch coil can go deeper than a 10-11" coil. Not everytime, but most of the time. This is because you can apply more gain to a small coil that can make a larger coil unstable. I never even hinted the Double Score performs better than the Manticore. The DS is awesome for $400

@martinsmith2984 4 ай бұрын

@@mowerdog An 8" coil is never going to be as deep as an 11" coil. AS you can apply the same gain to both coils.

@Bootyhunter1971 2 ай бұрын

DD coils depth is affected very little by coil size. The strip down the middle of the coil is where the field is, so the size of the coil only effects the size of the field. Larger or smaller coils not much different than stock with DD coils. Now Concentric is a different story.

@@martinsmith2984 I'm not a detectorist yet, but am doing my homework on which detector to get, all I can say is here where I live the DS is $479 presently and the Legend is $805, for me that IS ALOT more money (almost double the price), which makes is unreachable for some people.
