If any one is struggling with the manticore and has any questions please leave a reply to this comment and ill make a video explaining how and why 👍🏼

Great info and video. Have had the Manticore 2 months. Two-year-old test garden coin at 20cm masked by iron. No program I tried would unmask it. I did the same thing with the FE but didn't understand why the grunt and higher tone. Finally figured out it was unmasking the coin for me. Thanks for the no nonsense approach. Cheers.🍺

There are tons of vids on finding stuff, but you are showing us newbies to the Manticore better ways to use this awesome detector. This is what we really need. Many thanks, keep up the good work!

The four tone settings are brilliant thanks it works for me

Thanks Sid! I love the way you incorporate basic detecting skills with this amazing high-end machine. I have found through you and Neil Jones the secret to the "beast" is a stabilized balance....thanks to you guys I have made incredible headway in the manticore learning curve of this powerful machine...HAPPY HUNTING!

I have used the Manticore for 10 hours straight and plenty of battery left. That is a great idea for a power bank. I am always worried about losing power.

Thanks Sid. My wife bought me a manticore last week and i'm now gonna put those settings in and give my fields a try. Ill let you know how i get on. All your vids are spot on. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Great video Sid, doesn't matter what machine you're using. You have a natural ability to explain things in layman's terms. Seriously considering buying the Manticore after being a nokta user since I started metal detecting. Just bought the Nox 600 of a friend and been having a fruitful time on land and beach. Loving the tones and separation. Thinking that the Manticore will be on another level. Thanks for sharing 😊

Great video! I'm a fan of how you go through everything you are learning. I love it! ❤

Well presented and very informative, Thanks for taking the time to make and post this video, I've learnt a lot by watching, put your settings into my manticore, made a few tweaks and had a really good days digging today (apart from the rain) cheers mate.

Good stuff Sid. Lots of food for thought. Thanks for doing the video. Take care mate 🦘🦘😁👍

Cheers Sid....just bought one after 8 yrs of Deus....will put these settings in for a try.

Thank you- I have been struggling in iron infested ghost towns. The way you explain Ferrous limits was GREAT!! Love the PowerBank mod too as I only get 7 hrs battery life! Look fwd to your other videos.

Hi Sid, got my manticore for my birthday in July but somehow detached a retina so not been able to get out! Yesterday I added your program and today I went out - within an hour I found my first gold à nice Vicky half sovereign So Thank you do much 😊

Great help at last the video I’ve been looking for well done Sid !

Hello again Sid, just wanna say thank you again for these settings be using them over the last couple of days and I have found amazing things, the settings are amazing thank you! And I will check out that video about the charger😊

That is great information. I always hunt with ferrous on… but all the other things you pointed out in conjunction with that … not so much. Thank you for sharing such valuable info… amazing!

I'm 81, nearly everything bothers me nowadays hahaha. Thanx Sid

Great Vid Sid. using your 4 tone program my Manticore talks to me in a language I am starting to understand.

That's crazy the masking on that 😳 No wonder when I go ultra slow, I find nice bits .

Awesome video man!! Full of useful info. Thanks!!

Great vid mate. I’ve been using the Nox 800 since it was launched. I use all metal 2 tones and it just talks to me! I’m in the mood now to learn another machine now and the Manticore is in my sights! 👍🏻

I shall give this a try took some putting into the manty as i am a bit dyslexic. I will keep you posted sydney

Bravo bel video io vado al mare in acqua alta al collo con lui ma lo chiamato bestia pazza😵😵😂😂😂😂 anche sensibilità 17 o 18 e altro 😉👌🏻 buona fortuna ☘️🍀☘️🍀💪🏻💪🏻💣💥🔥😃😃

Quality vid as per normal Sid going to try the new settings this Sat👍

Nice one mate ....very well explained 👍

Thanks for this really helpful

Using the 900 in a field full of 1" long iron bar offcuts that give me a 42 VDI that sound very similar to hammered silver. I've taken to using no iron bias, listen with horseshoe on at every target ringing a 42 ish and switch to single frequency 15khz. If i still get a tone, its likely a good target. I've had my best finds yet on this field. I find a fast recovery and iron bias 0 unmasks good targets from iron the best. I also often just keep the horseshoe on. I'm also noticing iron falsing sounds different, it has a little churp as you move off the target whereas a good target gives a sharper tone.

Brilliant thanks sid.😊

Alright Sid, great video👍 I have updated my Minelab to your settings, gonna try them out as I’m new to this metal detector, I had the equinox 800 and loved it! I’m really impressed with the target separation just incredible aha, do you know the exact case you bought? for that charger because having that extra life is a saviour. Thanks again Sid! Good luck in your searches👊🏻

Hi Sid, Great Vid, one thing you touched on was the ear buds you use would you elaborate on that and let us know what your preferences are and how you link them to the Manticore thanks sid

I like mine great machine and the only detector I use especially in saltwater

Know ya shit you like!! 💯 need a manticore me! 😂

Great vid Sid will try them setting. Have looked for the holes for the power block there's too may to choose from . Can you recommend the one you have and what the name is who you got it off. Cheers👍

Would you say stick with the nox 800 or upgrade great video as always mate

Hi, love your channel. Thank you for this video it's very helpful. Here's the question, thinking about getting a Manticore but very concerned about how this detector handles aluminum versus all the other detectors that are out there. I have an XPD2, and if I were to get the Manticore, do you see any benefit when it comes to aluminum detection? Much appreciated.

Still trying to get the hang of this. You know how when you open it up and it startseeing the coin and it starts bleeding down but not to the centre line. I imagined it might have shown one signal on centre line and one signal in the ferous. How far do you get from the centre line and still dig? Is it as long as its not in the ferous band then dig?

With lower recovery raise the coil more see if it gets it I've done something showing that example

Hola buenos días soy suscriptor suyo y sigo tus vídeos si me podría dar un consejo quiero comprar el minelab manticore pero tengo dudas si el manticore o XP deus 2 muchas gracias y un saludo desde españa

Hi sid, can you do me a favour and redo you settings for the Deus 2 deep settings that I’ve used with great success for the latest Deus update May 2023 as it’s changed the characteristics and looking like it giving good tones on nails from videos I’ve seen 🙏🙏😎😎😎

Hello my friend, I look several times your videos and others one from you. I want to ask you, what are the better settings for searching gold jewerly, here in Argentina the most looking for that kind of findings. I am searching general times in lagoons with mineralized sand and salt water. I tested my Manticore with beach low conductives, always find something, but I know I am loosing finds because I dont have the correct configurations. Perhaps you can do a video for that kind of findings. My ferrous limits I work are upper 5 and lower in zero, But I have problems in configuarting sounds, I was using 2 tones but I think is better 4 tones or 5, is that correct? Also I work with recovering speed in 3 or 4, perhaps I have ti try 5 or 6, no? I hope you can help me, regards froma Argentina

I was alright until I got up to the 'tone breaks' then I was unable to follow where your fingers were on the buttons and finally I had to do a factory re-set. So; I would like to change the tone breaks and maybe you could return specifically to this subject again Sid? Q: If I change some settings in General mode and change settings in Fast mode do they both remain with the new settings after I switch off and on again next time?

Wish they would put pwm tones on it then a would probably get one

I can’t believe how much easier you explain it. Apologies for my question, as I am very much a noob still. Am I right in saying that sensitivity is all about the depth settings? So you control the depth of the machine by altering your sensitivity ?

Tomorrow I will go to a lagoon to test your configuration but instead of Fast I will use low conductive. I wll put a video in my channel, Regards

Sid, can you lock these settings in? Or is it a case of they stay with the machine until altered.

In your opinion, how much better percentage wise is the Manticore over the Equinox 900? I’ve seen comparison videos on KZfaq where the recovery speed on targets next to iron is very similar. I like the fact the Equinox 900 comes with 2 coils and the build quality looks much better than the original Equinox. The fancy 2D target ID on the Manticore doesn’t seem that useful for hunting fields, since audio is king. Though I suppose, I could always tape a mini Etch-A-Sketch to the Equinox 900 screen and make myself a poormans Manticore! No seriously, I’d really appreciate your informed opinion percentage wise between both machines.

Apparently they make a spare battery pack and holder for the manticore. You know anything about it and where to get it?

Sid what do you use for your wireless ear bud setup

Have you got a link to that charging block you mentioned?

I think given the price Minelab will address the power issue down the line.

Sid got a new permission on a farm one of the fields is 52 acres but highly mineral will the 4 tone program and a 15 inch coil work thanks in advance

Hello 👋 Are you still using same settings after update????

Hey Sid, why are you using Fast VS High conductors? Curious

sorry Sid, I do not speak English and do not understand it, not against I use Google Translate and could you write the settings of the manticore and I will understand you. I don't understand what you are saying, BUT it sounds fascinating. Ronan🤣

Hi Sid, what's the headphones hack please?

Are you still using these limits? Cheers mate

You didnt show what your stabilizer and filter are set at

i was soooo close to spending 2k for this machine until i saw all the vids on how bad it is on depths.not good.cant beat the 800 still best machine by far

Dam I fel asleep 😂

Of course you were losing the signal,at 6 mins 12 secs into the video,your screen is practically discrimmed out.

Thanks Sid I’ve got em in I’ll try it tomoz 🧑‍🦯🧎🕺 PS did you know spuds in hospital had a heart attack this morning , I think his ok like 👍
