Minelab's Manticore M8 Coil and Nokta's Accupoint in Action Together - How Did They Do?

This was my first real hunt with the Minelab M8 search coil and I also received the Nokta Accupoint. I went to a permission that has been hit pretty hard over the years but the M8 didn't disappoint. Its a great coil for coin shooting and for getting into those tight spaces. The Accupoint did really well too. This hunt was for testing purposes but I did manage to find a few things.

Nice look...Silver next time, good to hear about the good nickel detection, because of it's in the bronze zone and that's what i'm looking for 👍🏻

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks 👍

[@kurtbjork231]

You should plan a trip up north to boulder junction, for copper culture, been detecting copper artifacts for 15 years

[@MentalMetal]

That would be awesome!

[@MetalDetectingwithCZkidd]

Nice hunt Scott. I don’t run either Nokta or Minelab though. Have a buddy here that is turning in his Manticore. Has had problems with it. He is switching over to the XPD2.

[@MentalMetal]

There is nothing wrong with turning to a D2 :-) but I do like the Manticore for certain scenarios.

[@mase202]

if you only detected on land no water which do like better deus 2 , manticore or legend? thanks

[@brotherskeepers111]

I get weird 98's 97's with my manticore, they don't always sound the best and I end up chasing big iron or square nails

[@MentalMetal]

There is the hint, they don't always sound the best. Learn the tones of that machine and you the junk you dig will decrease significantly but you have to put the time on the machine.

[@LorenLemcke]

Nice video! Can't wait to try my M8 coil out in the wild. Winter lasts too long here...

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks man, when you do get it, I'd be curious if you could test it in single frequency and give me your thoughts. I did some tests yesterday and got some really strange results. I left with the opinion that you really want to run it in Multi-IQ vs single.

[@LorenLemcke]

@@MentalMetal Interesting! Do you mean you got weird TIDs? or was the performance hindered in some other way?

[@MentalMetal]

Nickels that usually fall in the mid 20s were hitting in the 80s, way up averaging for some reason. I usually don't share out links before my Patreon members see them but I have total respect for the way you look at these machines so check it out. I just uploaded the video today but haven't share it. I think you will find those results interesting/strange. At ~13:28 I ran those targets in Multi-IQ as well, to compare. Granted I was only using General All Terrain at the time. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZ21m6age551iLs

[@LorenLemcke]

@@MentalMetal I went ahead and air tested some nickels in single frequency, and they are all IDing correctly with the M8. Does yours airtest correctly? Also, how mineralized is your ground? It looks a little reddish to me. Difficult ground + edge of detection + single frequency could definitely produce TID problems. If your ground is mild, then I would suspect something might be wrong on the software level. If there was something physically wrong with the coil, I'd imagine it would do poorly in Multi-IQ as well. Definitely a bit puzzling overall. It's not impossible Minelab needs to release an update to fix the TIDs for single frequency w/ M8 coil, and they decided to release the coil before the update under the assumption 99% of people would use Multi-IQ exclusively.

[@MentalMetal]

No my ground isn't that bad, but I'll try the air tests again and see where it is. Totally agree on the update though, that would be nice. I wish they would update the 900 as well. Thanks for giving it a look and running some tests. Maybe mine is jacked up. We shall see.

[@danielshields6195]

Ordered the M8 and waiting for delivery. On the fence with the Nokta pinpointer though. Curious, where did you purchase your finds bag? Awesome bag!

[@MentalMetal]

I'm liking the Accupoint. Not as sensitive as my MI6 but not bad. I got the bag from one of my Patreon members. PM me in Patreon and I'll pass you his info.

[@liondetect322]

Bonjour l'ami merci pour ce moment de partage 👍 bonjour de la Bretagne ✌️

[@MentalMetal]

Bonjour, vous êtes le bienvenu

[@brokenarrowoutdoors2467]

I got on Bedford website to buy M8. When do you think they’ll have them back in stock?

[@MentalMetal]

I would call them and ask John or Zack, I have no idea but tell them I sent you over.

[@charlieschemmel122]

Nice hunt thanks for sharing!!!!!!

[@MentalMetal]

Thanks for watching!

[@ragerow]

What finds pouch is that you're using?

[@Nofel74]

Is it possible to pair the Nokta Accupoint to the Minelab WM08 box?

[@Bin1216]

Hello, I just came to the United States. Where can I buy second-hand metal detectors in the United States?

[@goldsmith001]

Good hunt, I thought for sure you were going to pop out a silver.

[@ohiofredl]

Good hunt thanks for demonstration of coil and pinpointer. Nice finds.

[@MentalMetal]

I thought I was too, oh well. Thank you.

[@MentalMetal]

@ohiofredl, you are very welcome and thank you.

[@mwdjr3158]

[@tedyoh7394]

You're going to hell....using The Devils Tongue on God's property.....how dareith thee? What info shows on that LCD screen on that pinpointer?

[@MentalMetal]
