Minelab Manticore vs XP Deus II Gold Separation Test

A look at the Minelab Manticore and XP Deus II over gold targets near iron.

The thing that really impressed me is the visual on the manticore. Really cool

[Billsadventures]

I can’t believe there is that much difference with the manticore. Impressive. And the 2D screen is awesome. Great test!

[KernowekTim]

Manticore is very impressive indeed Mike. Superb machine. A winner for sure...Worth every penny if one has the sites to really bring out it's obvious potential. In my dreams, I have multiple sole permissions on fields close to Iron Age tribal centres! In guess the gold staters will not be mine!

[briangorby]

Great Video! The Manticore appears to fared better in these tests. I am just waiting for mine to arrive.

[Findingwithfrequency]

Good video that Manticore performs very well

[jimbop]

Very enlightening test ! keep 'em coming. The Manticore is a BEAST

[alanlyons]

Great comparison test. Would love to see the Equinox 900, in same test. Thank you.

Great video. Thanks.Can you show how Manticore responds to open gold earrings and small chains without the iron. That is where Equinox had issues with.

[DCDetector]

Thanks for the 2D display video. We need more of these.

That is beautiful the way Debbie explains in the video: MINELAB MANTICORE REVIEW - What does Advanced 2D Target Identification look like? The iron is simply displayed in 2D? The dimension of the targets collectively? I do not even believe it is 'responding' audibly to the iron? ? ? However, it is 'simply' displaying on the screen it is 'operating' in 2D as it is supposed to do?

Looking to upgrade from an old White's Spectrum XLT. A lot has changed over the years. I finally narrowed it down to a Minelab, just not sure on the model yet. I'm leaning heavily towards the Manticore because I really like the 2D screen for helping me judge dig/no dig. Wish I knew what the optional coils were going to run for it, but I can't find them priced anywhere. Truthfully, I think the Manticore might be worth the stretch for me; as you can tell, I will run a machine forever!

Saving for the Manticore... going to take a while. 👍 I have been testing the 900 and D2 on my Hardwood floors...nails everywhere .

[goodasgold]

Thanks for all the great tests. Wonder if pull tab in btwn the nails would read different than the gold at least to a good degree, and consistently.🤔 I know there are other factors but I am just being hopeful the Manticore could give us some edge when comes to those buggers .

[nietlullenmaargraven]

I always turn 90 degrees when i have a good tone and an Iron tone. Never mis the nice finds pure on detecting skills

[theothersideoftheboat]

Have you investigated the dive program on the deus2 on land hunts? I've pulled a lot of Spanish silver out of irony sites with it slightly modified.

[jerrydineen]

Can't wait to see the Manticore on a relic hunt!

[susantoker]

Good video. The 2D screen helps to show multiple targets, which will help in trashy suburban areas and hint there might be good. The Deus II is not too shabby either. Gold between a crumpled aluminum can and an aluminum bottle cap would probably break the bank on all the detectors.

[MrSaimonas]

Hi, very interesting.do you have possibility to do test with small gold chain?air test like in this video.
And on both machines to use beach modes, thank you👍

[metaldetectingwiththesilva]

Hi Iffy, I really appreciate your videos's on the manticore. Thank you! Would you be able to do the same kind of test on a half Reales or half dime sized silver coin for us mate?

[mmb]

Thanks Iffy:-), could you please repeat the test with the Nox 900? Some people can't afford the manticore and put there hopes on the Nox 900:-) gr. M
