You can turn it off.

I’m not sure. What kind of gear are you looking to get?

This permission belongs to a buddy of mine, but I can take you to one of my permissions if you'd like. I'll be gone to the beach for the next week and a half, but you can message me when I return and we'll plan something.

Thanks man! Yes , we hunt in Floyd County mostly. This hunt was in the Rome area. Lots of good spots all throughout the NW corner of the state.

Thanks John. Turns out it was chiggers!

@@MetalDetectingNWGA ugh hate those critters. Once my dog and I both got eaten up. Used clear fingernail polish to coat the bite and supposedly it suffocates the little suckers. It worked. But my dog was not happy with the treatment but it worked on him also.

@@cwhunter7127 thanks man! Yep that was the Depth Audio theme. It reminds me of Pitch tones on the D2, which I love. I’m still sort of working out what I like best for relics on the Manticore, but so far AT General with the depth theme seems to work well. Love the M9 coil too! The Manticore and D2 is an awesome combo for sure.

Thanks Cynthia!

Hey Markkus! Man I love the M9 coil. Its a big part of the reason I decided to buy another Manticore. Not only is it deep, but being so thin, its very lightweight and just makes the whole detector balance very well. I have all of the Manticore coils, M8, M9, M11 and M15... But to be honest, I think the M9 is just about perfect for 90% of the places I hunt. If I could only keep one, it would definitely be the M9.

@@MetalDetectingNWGA thanks I’ll order one from Rich he’s great best price no tax or shipping thanks

Thanks Mike! My Granddaughter spells hers "Carlee". Looking forward to our next hunt together!

You too Kenny! That was fun! Can't wait to get out and do it again!

Thanks John! Come on down! We'll get out and do some detecting!

@@MetalDetectingNWGA sounds great!!!👍🏼

Thanks Greg! Yeah that sounds promising. Gotta be a camp or something nearby. I hope you guys find it! Good luck!

@@MetalDetectingNWGA thanks!

@@mwstoll I haven’t tried the 5000k, but the one I have @6500k just seems really white to me. The 5000k should be a little warmer.

@@grandmakellymcdonald absolutely!

Thanks TNSS. The sink rate in the woods seems to be pretty low for whatever reason. I guess due to the roots and what not. My guess is these would still be detectable in a hundred more years.

Hey thanks Nathan. I have five grandkids, but this one is my little detecting buddy. I think she loves it as much as I do.

@@piedmontartifacts8910 it sure was! Enjoyed it! We need more hunts like that.

@@markford6444 thanks for watching and commenting! HH!

@@WildDigger thanks Matt! I love that shovel because it breaks apart into two pieces which allows me to carry it along with my Deus in the saddlebag of my motorcycle. I get to enjoy two hobbies at once by riding to nearby towns and detecting new places. Hope you’ve been doing well!

@MetalDetectingNWGA where did you get that one or who makes it?

@@WildDigger I got that one from Excalibur. Its called the Merlin. The guy lets you customize all sorts of stuff when you order one. Blade typle, color, etc. Here's the link: www.excaliburshovels.com/product-page/copy-of-merlin

@@tommyb7340 thanks man!

@@mikelego9362 thanks man! Yeah my granddaughter really enjoys it. She has a cheap detector of her own, but I told her if she really gets serious about detecting, I’ll buy her a nicer one.

that’s me !

@@ducker6134 thank you!

That is odd. I would first check the connections and make sure the coil is plugged in good. Then make sure the sensitivity isn’t set too high. Also, maybe try notching out the lower part of the scale to help eliminate some junk targets. If none of that helps, I would contact Dr Otek and see what they can do. Could be a faulty coil or cable. Either way, I’m sure they’ll get you fixed up.

Thanks man!

Hey, thanks! You don't NEED to change your CTX if you're happy with it. The question is do you WANT to change to a Manticore. The Manticore is a great detector and has a lot to offer. I have a full written review over at the Friendly Metal Detecting Forum if you'd like to read it. Here's the link: metaldetectingforum.com/index.php?threads/my-thoughts-on-the-minelab-manticore-after-50-hours-and-beyond.300976/

Thanks! :)

Agreed.

Thank you sir.

Thanks Bill! I’m still around. Glad the program is working well for you. GL & HH!

That would depend on the type of hunting and what the user likes in a detector. Very subjective IMHO.

Hi Kathy. I do not , but you can use whichever audio settings you prefer with this disc pattern. Just give some of the others a try and see which one works best for you.

Thanks Albert!

Thanks Markkus! Those virgin sites are awesome!

Thanks!

Thanks man!

I was using the Fast program with disc at 7 and notch from 7-58 and 65-75. Knowingly giving up some possible good targets in exchange for digging less trash. That place is super trashy! I had reactivity at 1 and silencer at 2. Pitch with Square tones. Audio filter turned off.

Hey Nathan! That’s exactly what I said. 😊

Thanks Matt! Hope you’ve been doing well!

Thanks John!

Thanks John. I hope a CS plate is waiting in my next hole. 😂

Thanks Tommy. You know, I never noticed that until you mentioned it. That IS strange. It’s stamped .925 but maybe plated or fake? Or maybe something was beneath the ring throwing the signal off. It was sitting right on top of the ground.

Thanks! It made my day for sure!

Thanks man! I couldn’t believe it! The ol’ D2 has been working great!

Thanks man! GL & HH!

You’re more than welcome to come hunt with us whenever you come back this way. Can’t guarantee we’ll find anything good but we’ll give it hell trying!

Good luck! I’ll either be going back to Myrtle or Florida pretty soon. Can’t wait!

I would think so. The larger the target, the stronger the signal at depth. The Manticore is capable of hitting a single quarter sized coin at a foot in mild soil, so something that large should be easy. Of course, if the soil is highly mineralized or there's a lot of iron/junk around the target, that'll make a difference.

@@MetalDetectingNWGAthank you for responding! I’m actually looking for a presumably “lost hoard”. Have purchased this detector and trying to figure out how to use it.

@@MetalDetectingNWGAThe soil is sandy loam, American coastal plain, fairly coarse.

@@SniperLogic good luck! I hope ya find it!
