Best Metal Detector In Its Field
The Minelab Manticore is currently the fastest and most powerful flagship metal detector in Minelab's history. It is primarily designed as a high-performance coin and relic hunter, featuring the next-generation Multi-IQ+ simultaneous multi-frequency engine, which delivers up to 50% more power than the best-selling Equinox series.
Key Performance Features
- Multi-IQ+ Technology: This engine allows the machine to operate across multiple frequencies simultaneously, providing exceptional depth and sensitivity, even in challenging mineralised soils or saltwater environments.
- Two-Dimensional ID Map: A revolutionary visual interface that uses a 2D screen to show both the conductivity and ferrous properties of a target. This helps "unmask" good targets that might be hiding next to iron trash.
- Enhanced Target Separation: Its high recovery speed allows for rapid identification of multiple targets in close proximity, which is critical for searched-out sites filled with iron junk.
- Waterproof Design: The unit is fully submersible up to 5 metres (16 feet) with an IP68 rating, making it suitable for beach hunting, surf, and underwater exploration.
Design and Ergonomics
- Lightweight Construction: Weighs approximately 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs) thanks to its three-piece carbon-fibre telescopic shaft.
- Compact Storage: The shaft is fully collapsible, folding down from 144 cm to just 63 cm for easy transport.
- Intuitive Interface: Features a large, adjustable-brightness colour LCD with a backlit keypad and a built-in control pod flashlight for low-light conditions.
- Haptic Feedback: Includes a vibrating handgrip to alert the user to targets, which is useful when hunting underwater or in noisy environments.
