MINELAB MANTICORE M9 COIL - DEPTH & UNMASKING TEST

[@usmc6157]

Watched many of your vids in the last month and this is another good one…liked and subbed!

[@IffySignals]

Thanks! Appreciate it. 👍

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

The M11 was super heavy, glad the M9 is out. I like the larger coil so I modified the M11 to be just like this M9, supper light weight and glides through water. just an experiment.

[@IffySignals]

Nice! What did you mod on it?

[@GarysMetalDetecting]

@@IffySignals I removed all the extra un needed parts of a M11 to make a style like the M9. Look at my community tab.

[@FloodGold]

I got the M8 last month, and I really like it. Yesterday, I got the M9 both from the Placerville Hardware store, and I'm hoping to test them out at the beach asap.

[@IffySignals]

Awesome! I think that M9 will be allot of people favorite coil.

[@IronAntlerAdventures]

Great looking Coil I love the M8 maybe someday I will try the M9

[@IffySignals]

Thx Beard, take care bud!

[@WallopinSilver]

Agreed Iffy! Great coil!

[@IffySignals]

Thanks

[@stephenm38]

I wasn't aware that this coil came out. I just ordered the M8 yesterday. I hope it's just as good.

[@IffySignals]

M8 is really good just to small for my liking.

[@halfbaked870]

Send it back and get the M9.

[@CavemanDigsRelics]

The elliptical shape of the M8 coil is great for getting in between signals in iron and modern trash infested areas. I say get the M9 and M8 coil. I also have a Deus 2 and wish that XP would come out with an elliptical coil. Can never have enough tools lol.

[@billbarry2984]

Great video, awesome separation!

[@IffySignals]

Thanks Bill 👍

[@RandolphRelicRecovery]

The manticore looks to be quite some sort of a machine. Nice to have a choice of coils.

[@IffySignals]

Yea! Been waiting to show this one for a while now.

[@flyrock2]

Great vid. Can't wait to try mine. They are shipping out to US customers now.

[@IffySignals]

Awesome! Good to know.

[@flyrock2]

@IffySignals Manticore 9" vs D2 9" should make for some interesting comparison vids. 👊

[@dougsnyder8963]

Thanks for that video. I’m still new to my manticore with stock coil. I will be buying the M9 coil next. Thank you. 👍

Great video bro as always! That machine looks amazing

Thx Sean! Almost diving time. Lets something up. 👍

[@EddieMurray-p3b]

As a relic hunter, I’ll be getting this coil on your recommendation! Thanks

[@IffySignals]

Welcome! Love it 👍 it never comes off. Reach out to Ryan at the Metal Detecting Shop. He will hook you up.

Hi Mike. You always provide up to the mark, interesting videos: Here's another. 9"DD conf' all the way, as retail coil. imo. Thank you man👊👍

[@IffySignals]

Thanks Tim, appreciate it!

[@TrekTracks74]

Great vid, any ideas as to when it may be available?

[@Lookin4Things]

I've had mine now and have 7 hours now in 3 evenings. Same area's as with the m8 and m11, I'm digging considerably more 90's falsing iron. Also, the vdi numbers are weighting higher. I'm going to put another 10 hours at least on it in the same area, but for me, I'm probably going back to the m11.

[@IffySignals]

Wow, i am not having that. You try using some stability?

[@Lookin4Things]

@IffySignals Yes, I have rings, etcetera with heavy fishing line and test in that ground in the soil conditions dialed in with and without stability has been about the same as the other coils, on and off filter and trying to maintain at least 23 sensitivity. Thank you.

[@tnsharpshooter8517]

Nice video Iffy. Thanks for sharing.

[@IffySignals]

Thanks TN 👍

[@TheDoctorRust]

Mike I have a manticore 101 question If you are only to bring two coils with you in the afterlife which ones would they be ? Would it be 9 and 11?

[@IffySignals]

Yup 9” for sure and the 11”, never really hunt tight enough spots to warrant the small 8”

[@jaystrongbow6111]

This is the first video I've seen in over 2 years that makes me wanna buy a new machine, as I know we will have to wait for the Deus 3 to get VDI's like this. I especially like the big iron performance.

[@IffySignals]

Thanks Jay, agree on the large iron. I don’t want a non ferrous tone on it. The ability to let it back in when needed is important. You have both with this machine without having to restrict its unmasking abilities.

[@CavemanDigsRelics]

Love the video. On the separation test could you show what the screen looks like when a circle sweep is done around the target from different angles? In the wild when I get an iffy repeatable signal, that drags from the upper Ferrous limit to the center line, I do that method and sometimes the correct vdi flashes up. Curious to see if that reaction happens on the block test. Keep up the content, you’re a true mentor.

[@IffySignals]

Thanks Seth! Appreciate it. Send me a email and i can get you a quick clip of it.

[@dapawaz8310]

Nice video, Mike. I've always liked setup testing. Some will say it doesn't replicate in ground conditions, and that's true. What it does is let you know basic things about separation & recovery speed (not precisely the same thing,) what various targets sound like on the machine, etc, and how settings affect all that. It's the first thing I do with a new machine. Subbed a while back.

[@brooklyntreasurehunter]

Awesome video. I think the M9 would be great at the parks here in NYC. Thanks for the info.

[@IffySignals]

Welcome bud 👍

[@stevewaters2974]

How does the 11-in coil compare to the 9-in coil in the elevated iron test? I seem to remember the 11 inch went through the test with no problems and no failures also.

[@IffySignals]

Both are very good, on my tests both do better than the 8”

[@mmb2199]

Thanks Iffy again very useful👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@IffySignals]

Welcome 👍

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

I like these test.. Just like putting the 8inch coil on the Vanquish540.. Great all around coil.. The Manticore is teasing my mind and jingling my wallet. Thank for taking the time to do these test videos.. Peace

[@IffySignals]

Thanks Danny 👍

[@raydigsdetecting]

That's awesome...looking forward to get one 👍

[@IffySignals]

Thx Ray.

[@engwaleed2223]

Hello mike, can you please help me, I'm living in the middle east where is our soil is hot rocky and highly minelarized, which detector you recommend me and would be deep with rejecting iron?, i was thinking of getting the minelab manticore or gpx5000 i really don't know, which one is good for my purpose??, thank you

[@IffySignals]

Hi, I don’t have that type of soil and have never used a PI machine like the GPX. The Manticore is great but not sure about your soil conditions.

[@Stack_Silver]

Now that you did this test days apart from the Xterra Elite, how would you summarize them both?

[@IffySignals]

The Elite is a 700/900 with less features. The manticore is a level above them.

[@dansteffee9759]

When will they release it ?

[@IffySignals]

I heard a couple weeks.

[@markkus1134]

Great video I’m curious did you run the coil with no discrimination? That will be a great coil for water hunting the 11” is just too large

[@IffySignals]

Hey Mark, definitely will be great for the water. I have had mine in the water a bunch of times during testing. Its glides with the smoother profile. I showed discrim and no discrim.

[@markkus1134]

@@IffySignals cool thanks

[@digginturtle9713]

What is the depth difference between the 11” vs the 9”?

[@IffySignals]

11” has a bit more in clean ground but i have noticed the 9” punch a bit deeper in trashy sites. Thats normal being less under the coil.

[@cwhunter7127]

Glad I waited and didn’t purchase the 8x5. Iffy what’s your go to favorite 1,2or 5 region and audio theme? Just got manticore and trying to figure it out. Mainly do old homesites and relic hunting with it right now. Coming from Deus 1 it’s different. Thanks for info and videos.

[@IffySignals]

1 region is my favorite. Good luck with it 👍

Welcome Fred

[@longbow6245]

Please compare the M8 to the M9.

[@IffySignals]

I will bit if you don’t want to wait the 9 is the way to go unless you need it for tight areas. More depth and better separation than the 8.

No tiene ningún sentido hacer una bobina de 9" habiendo una de 8"y una de 11" ,creo habiendo una bobina de 15" Minelab tendría que hacer una de 18"eso tendría más sentido .Coiltex ha construido una bobina de 18" redonda para el Equinox 900 .Porque no una bobina de 18"para Manticore !!!Sería genial ⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️⛏️🤔👍.
