Minelab - Is there a new detector being released soon???

It also looks like they are going back to the 0-99 scale which is nice.

A Manticore has the head of a man, body of a lion, and the tail of a scorpion.

My bet is they chose this name because the detector blends 3 technologies.

Multi IQ, FBS, and another tech.! Maybe BBS.

Look at where the coil cable meets the connection support. It's already broken! lol

Oh! You are too cruel!

Glad they upgraded that arm cuff. Just hoping it's better balanced than the equinox. Good stuff!

Looks nice. But at this point these manufacturers seem to be putting new lipstick on the same old pigs. I think I will stick with my equinox and deus2 for a while. Until some revolutionary new technology advancement happens.

The performance difference in the machines in recent years is so small its not worth switching machines all the time. I think most people will have more success by mastering their current machine vs swapping to the latest releases each time.

You may be right. The Manticore could be a slight bump improvement over the Equinox. But here's to hoping it's basically a CTX 3030 with the weight and recovery speed of the Equinox.

I just saw a teaser about it. Can't remember what it was called though. Something like Manticor.

You know, at first I didn't like the -10 to 40 scale, but after using it for a while and then going to the Deus II, I realized the extra numbers don't get me anything.

I found it much easier to sort my mental library of targets into 40 bins, instead of ~75-100 bins.

On the Equinox, going from 16 (2 euro coin) to 15 (bottlecap) to 14 (pulltab) felt like meaningful bins to categorize targets in, and each change in TID meant something.

Compared to on the Deus II, the difference between an 88, 87 and 86 is a totally meaningless. Too many mental bins is hard to organize and memorize, but that is just me.

Finally, the perfect detector. No one is gonna complain. Right ?

 

[GreenMeanie]

I actually always thought they tightened up the numbers to make it seem more accurate on targets.
But I can see your point too.

That is one beautiful detector....but "Manticore"

If you google Manti it means Dumplings. Manta means blanket. So Manta it is for short. Dumplings core is appetizing though.

Looks to be a CTX armcuff. Which i have never had an issue with my CTX armcuff over a couple thousand hours.
