What has the world come to when before you can even utter a word you are forced to add a disclaimer!!!!!
I am not racist, nor a homophobe, nor anti trans, and more so, I am not hitting on Minelab as a hater
that said, this is my opinion, gained mainly from owning a Manticore and having used it as my main beach hunting machine here in the uk since its launch.
my search for a possible cause arises from nothing other than having had a problem with the manticore from DAY ONE!!!!!
three machines latter lol and although both previous machines did indeed have their own problems, they all shared this one main floor!!!
rather than stringing out what I am saying, here it is and I will then add my experiences at the end.
I wrote this on another site/forum/group in reply to a question about the manticore giving iron tones on deep good target, so some words are more apt there.

"Just watch the paid Minelab users jump all over my reply. Watch!!!! It's going to be so telling.
OK so let's look at the manticore.
The fabulous manticore.
OK not wanting to be too harsh as it was a grate detector.
It pushed the frontier
100% credit where it is due
But let's look deeper!!!!!!!
The bit that they don't want to tell you OR have you spoken about!!!!
The manticore was built around the 2D screen. (this is the crucial part!!)
This is its weakness (to a point)
In order for us the user to be able to enjoy and trust this 2D screen, minelab filters out a lot off what it MUST in orders for the screen to look good and do its job
The results are a fantastic machine BUT at the price of depth in some situations.
The manticore will always call iron at depth to save its precious 2D screen results
Again, before you jump all over my comments.
Think about it.!!!! The 2D screen is/was minelabs baby.
Minelab done whatever was needed to get it to perform for us.
There is always a trade-off.
End quote.
well, again, I say this with 40 years beach only detecting experience, from the first day I picked up the manticore, my beach decided to call iron a lot more than with previous machines.
I own a Whites TDi beachunter, when using that, the so call iron infested beach goes incredibly silent.
and yes, disclaimer No2, all setting, wide open screens and all coils have been used.
this is not a rant, but unless its gets talked about, it might not ever get addressed.
the minelab paid bods, paid to slam anything anti-manticore isn't helping matters if this is indeed a bigger issue than they want us to believe.
so, I put it out there.
WHAT say you????? How else can Minelab protect their 2D screen other than making you think its junk and you don't want it anyway.
