Minelab Manticore – What the Detectorists Say
In the realm of metal detecting, Minelab stands as a beacon of innovation, leading with technology and performance. The Minelab Manticore is their most recent jewel, captivating the attention of the global detectorist community.
Manticore user feedback is pouring in, and it’s abundantly clear that this isn't just another metal detector. It's fast becoming the go-to device for enthusiasts and professionals alike. Its depth, precision, and resilience showcase Minelab's commitment to their craft.
With that in mind here’s an unaltered glimpse into the world of real users and their genuine experiences with the Manticore.
Philip - Facebook
"New detector, plenty to learn. A lot of errors by new operators trying to change all of the settings without fully understanding the machine. I’ve had mine for around 6 months and am still learning new things about it. I like it, and better than my previous Garrett machine."
Amanda – In Person
"I purchased my manticore back in March 23 after using my Nox 800 for a year. I've not looked back. I've had lots of bucket listers and dug very little iron. I love the 2D screen and following the recent software upgrade I've also found my machine to be much more stable on ploughed. Put simply. I love it and now make sure I'm out at least once a week. A wireless module will make the Manticore perfect in my opinion."
Nikki – In person
"Since purchasing the Manticore, I haven’t used my Nox 800! The depth and power is amazing! My favourite feature is the 2D ID mapping! I’m hoping a wireless module like the Equinox will be in Minelab’s plans, as it would be nice to have the option to use different headphones."
Servet - Facebook
"With Minelab Manticore, you collect whatever is under the ground you pass by. That’s the truth."
Kevin - Facebook
"The Manticore in my opinion, is an excellent machine. Since I purchased it, I have sold my Nox 800, and I haven’t picked up my AT Max since."
Paul Cee – Minelab Detexpert
"After spending nearly a year with the Manticore, I’ve found that it's best to trust the machine and not tinker too much. It’s a beast right out of the box and you don’t need to be an expert to get good results. Low and slow is no more. With the Manticore it’s, ‘fast and go’."
Stuart – Facebook
“It’s ability to separate commingled targets is great. Videos by Luc have been helpful in order to grasp some of the technical aspects of the machine. My biggest gripe is the fact that the headphones are shockingly bad for such an expensive machine and Minelabs encryption of the wireless connection to the phones leave the user with no choice but to buy some plastic transmitter and a 3D printed box in order to use earbuds in the hot weather.”
Chris – Facebook
“Deadly on deep small silver coins, great separation. I kept this coin with a clump of rust and a nail for an example. This is how it was found last week.”
Martybabe - Facebook
“Just bought a manticore off you, excellent overnight delivery. It’s actually quite intuitive and easy to set up and use. Of course, there are a great deal of settings to adjust to your liking and a lot to learn on a deeper level but it’s genuinely simple to get it set up and get out digging. Thanks”.
Tim – Facebook
"It’s an awesome machine. There is a learning curve. I am still learning mine."
Mike – Facebook
“I’ve only been out four times with my new manticore. So far I’m loving it, a lot more easy to use than my Whites V3i and AT Max.”
Keith – Facebook
"Well after a week of using the Manticore and using settings out with any of the factory settings I am very pleased with its performance. Undoubtedly a few inches deeper than the 900 and I am finding tiny small bits of lead and button fragments so I know I’m not missing anything at all. This is really an out of the box detector, but then it would need to be particularly for beginners as the set up process and user platform are challenging at times."
Tim - Trustpilot
"This is an incredible machine with awesome performance. The menu system is extremely easy to navigate, but there's no need to worry about mastering the intricacies of it right away as even a novice detectorist can use it straight out of the box (after charging). The price tag may seem a bit hefty, but this machine is in a different league to anything else you've seen."
Palmer - Trustpilot
"Great machine, plenty of adjustability but also great straight out of the box, half the weight of my CTX meaning I can stay out longer."

"Wife has been out with mine this morning and found a cut quarter."
Simon – In Person (image)
"I got my Manticore today and on my 2nd hold found a 1872 Florin!"
