I still have much to learn about the Manticore but off to a good start. Thanks for watching!

If you get frustrated with the Garrett pinpointer strength like I used to, you'll probably appreciate this as much as I did: When you are close to a target (or say the playground column) and it's beeping and you wish you hadn't been on the 3 setting because it's too sensitive, press the power button 1 time quickly. This automatically lowers the sensitivity based on the distance to the object it's detecting right then. The result: I leave mine on 3 all the time and just press the button when I'm getting too much interference from something else or when I'm just have trouble narrowing down something's location. This completely changed how I used the pinpointer and it's amazing!

I am still waiting for mine. I ordered it a long time ago. Looks like a good machine. Interesting how some of the targets hardly sounded. Great advice. A learning curve is on the way

Congrats on your first Buffalo Nickel, Bill! 🐃 ...Sounds like a good nickname. "Just call him Buffalo Nickel Bill." 🐂🤠

Congratulations on the bucketlister!! 😃🥰🥳

Good job finding the buffalo nickel. I myself try to stay away from calling anything a bucket lister. Once the list is over, we’ll it’s time to kick the bucket 😮😅

[jeffhenderson]

Really good instructional video, thanks.

Hi Bill! Congrats on the Buffalo nickel!!! That’s so awesome!!!

[detectorguy]

Congrats on the buffalo nickel Bill, with a date on it. Normally that is one of the first things to wear off is the date. When you first get a new machine you can do a little better with them as you don't know what to dig so you dig more with them.
Keep that Manticore out for a while and learn it. Great video :)

[davidgonzales]

Seems like a great machine thanks for sharing

[aliciadanna]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the manicore .I enjoy learning along with you. Please let Christine know that I said hello.

Hi Bill! My husband and I were talking to each other while watching this video. We would LOVE to see you do this same kind of video with the 800. It would be a super helpful video for new users of the 800 and interesting for current 800 owners to compare their numbers and grounding techniques. 👍💖 Keep up the good work and please tell Christine that we miss her! 💖💖

[brucedyer]

WOW! A 1937 Indian Head/Buffalo nickel. What a rarity and to be able to still have the date is amazing.

Such a smart idea. I am new and just breaking in a simplex+ and a newbie.
