Gold Signals: Unveiling the Secrets of the Minelab Manticore. The Target IDs for Gold!

[@finders-keepers1518]

It's what makes hunting for gold so challenging and hard work! I'd be curious to see how those lower vdi rings id on the D2 as well.

[@MentalMetal]

I plan on doing something similar for the D2

[@tombecker2955]

Very interesting with the air test. I love beach hunting and dig everything too. Now I need to rethink the parks. Dig more lows. Happy Hunting

[@MentalMetal]

Yep exactly you might get lucky.

[@diggersdentysonu.k.m.d8813]

Hope your weekend has gone well been a ling few old day s hope the family are kerping well 😊😊😊😊😊

[@MentalMetal]

Great weekend my friend hope yours was too.

[@theoutlawdigger]

I’m going to have to go back to my permissions and dig those skipped low signals now. Thanks for the video!

[@MentalMetal]

Good luck!

[@goldsmith001]

what numbers does your watch by itself read as?

[@strongsound4819]

Also something worth noting is when you're an all-terrain general you've got the first five numbers discriminated out and will miss some small gold completely. Your gold bracelet probably would have sounded better with that discrimination off.

[@MentalMetal]

Very good point thank you.

[@carlosmendes6361]

I just hunt in beaches, using the same settings in my Manticore: sensibility between 18 and 23, Beach Surf and saltwater, recovery speed of 5, and ground balance in auto. 8 of 10 gold rings I found fall in IDs below 26, nome of them weights more than 3 grams. What really baffled me was your 18k white gold ring that always marks 28-29, exactly the ID of pull tabs that infested the beaches here. When I stopped to dig those signals, my good findings skyrocketed, but now I are wandering how much of those signals wasn’t pull tabs…

[@MentalMetal]

Yep you probably left some gold but its tough. Those pull tabs are just hard to get around.

[@brooklyntreasurehunter]

Great info. Thanks for sharing.

[@MentalMetal]

Glad it was helpful!

[@delcodetecting]

Does you watch effect the numbers?

[@MentalMetal]

It did but I took it off.

[@rustyshackleford2267]

@@MentalMetal so the video where you are wearing a watch is not correct numbers?

[@Mdavis13573]

Question: (I am new to the Manticore and to your channel). Normally, something coming in so low in number (such as the gold ring around a 12), I would not dig. And even though it wasn’t mentioned, it came in solid on the 2D display, right on the line in fact. Would you use the 2D display to determine if you dig it or not or just go ahead and dig it anyway? Thx for the great video.

[@MentalMetal]

I rarely look at the 2D map now that I am comfortable with the machine. You have to dig those low numbers on the beach, you will find that they could be bracelets but most of the time they will sound broken up so you have to dig some of those. Thank you for the sub!

[@jimlennoncov]

Very useful thanks

[@MentalMetal]

Welcome 😊

[@danielshields6195]

Helpful! Thnx

[@MentalMetal]

My pleasure

[@joshuakazfields4374]

I buried some of my gold rings and bracelets in about three inches of dirt as a test to know what to look for. Realized I wasn’t digging low enough numbers. How much have I missed. 😮

[@MentalMetal]

Yep you have to dig those low numbers for the chance to find bracelets.

[@anthonysupplee858]

Some, but Not a Lot. Bracelets are hard to get but they are there.

[@mac9955]

I couldn't help to notice that you were wearing your watch as you were passing the gold over the coil...

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks I've addressed that but it had very little impact.

[@tedyoh7394]

What does an onion ring come in as?

[@MentalMetal]

Thats all you got? btw, camp was good but ground still frozen.

[@tedyoh7394]

@MentalMetal yeah I know....I'm running out of material....you're putting up too much content for me to keep up.....hopefully won't have to worry about the ground anymore in 3 or 4 weeks

[@jasonc.491]

Just bought a Manticore. Maybe this is a dumb questions, but if Beach General picks up gold better, why not run in that program even if your NOT on the beach? Would this program not be good looking for deep silver coins in a park setting?

[@MentalMetal]

The beach programs are setup for the salt mineralization, your ground balance will be way different on the beach vs normal ground conditions. It may seem to work ok on normal ground but I think I would stay in one of the other search programs vs using the beach programs.

[@bennoah9780]

Did your watch have any effect on the numbers ?

[@charlieschemmel122]

Thanks

[@MentalMetal]

No problem

[@jamesl4446]

Gold coins 24 carat, 999.9 purity read 78 on the manticore

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks!

[@chrismoenmagnetfishing4404]

What does a men’s white gold wedding ring ring up

[@MentalMetal]

Depends... size of the ring, how much gold etc. will make it ring up with different numbers.

[@jguzman042608]

Basically you have to dig everything above 1. A puls induction metal detector will do the job on the beach No doubt

[@MentalMetal]

If you know how to use it that is 100% not true.

[@BTBLive]

Funny thing is I seem to dig sounds not numbers. I start digging and say to myself well I never looked at the screen lol

[@neilf8498]

So does a small piece of foil sound different than a small gold nugget? (manticore) To me, sounds the same. (Enhanced/5 tone) I hear guys say that tho.. It sounded different. Well, I can put two a few feet apart, and they sound the exact same. Sound seems different with size.. (A small gold nugget sounds different than a larger one) But I can’t pick out a different sound. What settings are you running? Advice? This detector drives me nuts with gold. It finds it, it just reads like every piece of junk commonly found.

[@CommonGuy]

Had one that hit 41 I think was 18K

[@MentalMetal]

I love seeing 40s at the beach.

[@purnellrichardson3716]

Looks like there all on the main line am i right

[@MentalMetal]

You can't go by air tests, I'm just giving you an idea based on numbers. The 2D map is a crap shoot.

[@brettellis1837]

Nice xterra sovereign's well full British solid 55 half solid 23. Chains but christ from ---7 to11thats on notch now yes single frequency watch that multi system lol could cost ya on fine chain goodies. Lol 😂 dig any thing big rule that.😂😂😂😂.

[@guitawrizt]

Was warmin' up to the ol' Manticore but see it's crept up $100 across the board.

[@MentalMetal]

Yep they raised their price on all their machines. #nonsense

[@brettellis1837]

I wonder what 1933 double golden eagle comes in at.???lol😂😂😂😂. Pay to find a friend in the game that sells rings chains ect latest stuff I did should of seen the looks I got when customers rocked in lol😂 he owed me one lol note book tray some ring's I took out wer 40.to 100.000k yeah that was fun like I said to him why would I go for the cheap shit and one ring 68.000 12 diamond 🔹 well rob..😂😂got to stick this one in the sand mate we'll should of seen the look. I got. Shit ya funny as Brett.

[@neilf8498]

So 22lr cases, pull tabs, and foil. LOTS of foil. Oh, and gold…🤯 If you have to dig literally EVERYTHING, what’s the point of target ID’s? I experienced this before watching this, as I own a manticore. This has been the most disappointing aspect of the manticore. This is a high conductor machine. It will find gold, just plan on a LOT of trash. I would’ve expected better.

[@MentalMetal]

I don't know, I think you can pick a lot of the trash out by knowing the sounds paired up with what the screen presents you.

[@neilf8498]

Different soils the exact same pull tab rings up slightly different. A 22 case 20 feet in another direction, gives a different #. So, could be gold, or.. I’m not nearly as experienced as you with detectors. I own a Gold Monster and got a manticore two months after release. So, my experience is limited.. Coming from a new, but fairly active Detectorist, that is my biggest complaint. Hell, was in SW Mt last weekend looking for nuggets, I always carry a small nugget to read in the soil I’m hunting in. It read 3-5 and showed it as iron. No sound, just the blip on the 2D and numbers. (General low conductor and Beach low conductors, think it did the same in goldfield) Some places it reads as non ferrous, others my gold nugget is iron. 🤔 The only consistency with this detector seems to be with silver.. It will scream when it finds silver.. IDK. Maybe my expectations were/are too high. I wish a guy like you was around to teach guys like me! That’s for certain!

[@donaldphelps536]

It is the same with all metal detectors, gold comes in at all the same vdi’s as trash. I found a 10 k ring this week that rang up at 13 on the manticore. It is just part of detecting, if you want gold you dig pull tabs and foil.
