Minelab Manticore Ferrous Limits Tutorial

The Minelab Manticore’s Ferrous Limits it's what classifies targets as ferrous or non ferrous, it’s based on the conductive properties of the target. The Ferrous Limits Presets is local and won’t affect the other detect modes. If you save a Custom Ferrous Limits, this can be accessed in the Ferrous Limits setting in all your detect modes..
Ferrous Limits are similar to Iron Bias but gives you a lot more control. It allows you to accept desirable ferrous targets or reject difficult ferrous trash. The Ferrous Limits are disabled in single frequencies, to enable the Ferrous Limits you must change your frequency to Multi IQ+.
In the Ferrous Limits setting, you have two options, Preset and Custom.
On your ID Map you will see your Upper and Lower Ferrous Limits.
Upper Ferrous Limits, this controls the classification of most iron objects like screws and nails. By increasing it, it will drop this line down closer to the center line and classify more targets as iron.
This will result in less iron falsifying but, this will reduce Target Separations performance.
By opening it up and lowering the upper ferrous limits. This will move the line further from the center. This will classify less targets as iron and it will falsify more on iron but increase the Target Separations performance.
The Lower Ferrous Limits deals with flat iron objects like bottle caps and sheet metal. By closing the Lower Limits (moving them closer to the center line, will classify more flat iron objects completely as iron but this may also reduce depth on some deep targets in mineralized ground, particularly low‐mid conductors
Decreasing or opening the Lower Limits (moving them further away from the center line) will classify fewer flat iron objects as iron, but may also improve depth on some deep targets in mineralized ground.
Ferrous Limits audio, in all metal anything within the grey area will have a ferrous tone, anything not in the grey area will have a non ferrous tone.
When you’re not in all metal, targets within in the grey area, you won’t hear the target tone or have a target ID or ferrous indication but you will still see it on the ID map.
The Ferrous Limits Preset is designed to deal with the most common scenarios. In some cases you may want to reject or accept a desirable ferrous target. As an example, here in Canada our modern coins are composed of ferrous steel. Most of Our steel coins appear in the same area in the Upper Ferrous Limits. This can be adjusted. This leads us to creating custom Ferrous Limits.

Thank you so much for watching!

Just wow, as with your other tutorials, these are the best I have seen for any of my detectors...

[adamclaxton]

Best set of instructional manti vids I’ve seen. Thanks guys 👌

[sabowes]

This is what I was looking for. Thanks for making this. I'm subscribed to your channel but never watched the tutorials. I'm in Italy and many of the older coins here are a nickel steel blend or acmonital. I just got my manticore and tested my coins and a few like these in your video show up in the ferrous range.

A must watch video, by anyone owning the Manticore

[kenb]

Oh that editing for our coins is freaking great..thanks!

[susantoker]

Useful, practicle video. The Maniticore will make modern Canadian easier and this advice works on other people's challenges. Thank you!

[danyardinvt]

Thank you for the video, I can’t wait for my Manticore to be delivered so I can try it out!

[metaldetectingbrooklyn]

Thank You looking forward to future Manticore videos. Pleasant listening.

[FloodGold]

I'm a new viewer from the livestream. Excellent video, I really like the way you both explain and demo the process in these short videos.

[젓가락-sh]

Your video is very good. I think you did a lot of performance tests before uploading the video. Even if you just look at it, the explanation comes to your head. Thanks for uploading the video.

[jimmymalone]

Great job you two!! I enjoyed your video on the Manticore.Thank you for sharing with us and I hope you two have a great Week.

[PinkPowerAllyTreasureHunter]

Another excellent informative video on the new manticore!! Thank you Laurie & Eric great work!! Looking forward to more!

[RitchMurray]

Wow! Great tutorial. Thanks very much. Keep 'em coming!

[notruss]

Excellent! When I first watched your videos I thought they were Minelab's company videos! Your tutorials are very professional. I'm surprised detector companies don't contract you to make them for thier products. I am still a little confused as to why they need an upper and lower ferrous limits grey area display (2 areas) and not just one grey area to show all ferrous items. For example, if you see a ferrous item trace in the upper ferrous grey area but not the lower grey area, how is that different when compared to a ferrous item that traces only in the lower ferrous area and vice-versa? Aren't they both just being detected as iron? Thanks

[ShortStop]

Keep up the good work, the more you know !

[donaldlee]

Obviously with the 2D features it allows the operator for the most part to see the ferrous target; however, they do not hear it? And it only demands an in-depth study in the multi-function? I will be back to watch this again. I will assume you will expand on this and demonstrate in real time; opposed to the bench demonstration? Thanks for the video.

[toyotasubaru]

My important question is. Can I guess even 70% with MONTICORE if the target is pull tab and can i reject it without missing any great stuff with same range. Regards 🙏

[donaldlee]

Very good! I have been looking for a tutorial on the 2D features of the Minelab Manticore. The only way to learn that new 2D would be to 'study' the manual. I have found your channel to be quite informative before. I will link to this if you don't mind? Thanks for the video.

[donaldlee]

This could replace the arduous learning curve of the White's Spectra V3i and as a benefit force the operator to learn metal detecting as the V3i did! If it did not present itself as a personal instructor, I would not find it interesting enough! lol The moral to the story: Read your manual! Nobody wanted to hear that! Including myself! lol Thanks for the video!

Oh, Laurie if only you lived in the time of the traveling snake oil showmen. You would be a well-traveled rich sheila.
