Manticore Information and Questions

[grubstake]

Manticore feedback elsewhere sounds pretty dreadful:

I'd suspect that there's simply very few Aussie owners. With the successful Equinox series having just had an upgrade and Minelab offering a surfeit of rather similar coin/treasure detectors (four Vanquish models, four Equinox models, the X-Terra Pro and the CTX 3030 still apparently top of the wozza), I'd suspect many potential Manticore buyers might be feeling gun-shy.

Then factor in a consumer recession and inflation, plus serious mortgage and rental pressures - good luck finding buyers for a pricey new metal detector with no proven reputation, that looks like a bit of an orphan in an already unwieldy range.

Grubstake, the CTX3030 is top of the Wazza in certain areas, still interested in the manticore though but have an 800 , have an excaliber 2 , dont need another gold detector , how deep does it go compared to other detectors?

Unfortunately, Jettstar hasn't been back to PA since last December, so I hope you're not holding your breath waiting for an answer.

threads a bit old but hopefully that means you have even more time to play with the Manticore Nenad.

I was wondering how it compared to the Nox 800/900 in terms of gold depth and ground handling ?

Potentially about 15% deeper, according to the honest Minelab rep in the (lengthy) video accompanying this article:
