Secret of the Manticore? popping more silver in the pounded park.

These hunts are at a public park that has been hit hard over the years and I think I found out why this machine can find more coins in hard hit spots.

[@digginhistoryoncapecod7506]

I've got 4 Minelab's already and am trying to talk myself out of buying the Manticore- you're changing my mind! Great job sniffing out all those silvers!

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks! I totally understand your dilemma. I almost didn't buy it either. A bit of a learning curve but it's a neat unit for sure. TC HH.

[@philipcallicoat3147]

Thanks for letting me hang out with y'all.. I can't afford to own a detector.Besides, I don't have any strength to get out there... I'm an armchair expert 🤓.. Good job 👍🌹...

[@finders-keepers1518]

Sorry to hear that Philip. Lately I've been telling everyone just having the health to be able to get out and dig is a blessing in itself! Thanks for watching our hunts. Welcome here anytime! John.

[@GenerationsFound]

That is so nice that you all go out together. Wow a Barber coin. You guys found a lot

[@finders-keepers1518]

I do enjoy digging with others. It can sure get boring by yourself out there! Thanks for watching. John.

[@TreasureHuntingSWPA412]

Dang, you sure that place has been hunted? Seems like virgin ground! lol. Awesome finds man.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Lol! It's crazy Matt!

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

Heck yeah man! That was a great hunt! I've noticed the same thing with the coins on edge. The Manticore loves them! Hoping to get out with mine this weekend.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks for sharing buddy! Must be something to it then. Looking forward to your video from the hunt!👍

[@MetalDetectingNWGA]

@@finders-keepers1518 I rarely record hunt videos anymore. Been enjoying getting out and detecting without having to fool with a camera or editing. Yes, I'm lazy. lol! I do enjoy watching others like yourself though! :)

[@finders-keepers1518]

@@MetalDetectingNWGA Buddy I so understand that!!! I also took a long break for a while a couple yrs back. Was actually very refreshing.👍

[@pittsburghcoinhunting1452]

Awesome hunt John! Man it's like all the pounded parks are not pounded at all . Nice score on the pile of silver . That ring looks heavy. Everytime I watch your videos I'm getting more convinced on buying one lol. All the best. Joe.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Lol Joe! You know how it is some days you just get over it. I like it.....def. something going on with the signals with coins on edge. Most machines you only hear them one way this thing is smashing them all the way around...🤔

[@danspengler2261]

Awesome finds! That’s incredible! Also, what shovel is that? Would love to upgrade from my Lesche to whatever that is! Cuts like butter!!

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

John, you were slaying the silvers, even in that pounded park! Congrats!!!❤️

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks Cynthia! Never would have thought these were still here at this particular park. TC

[@925inder2]

You had a great day. Congrats! I dig coins on edge with 800 too. Will get Manticore eventually too.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Oh I know other machines will see coins on edge but rarely can you hear them all the way around the target! That's what I was meaning.

[@donmiller4004]

Very nice!!! Any chance you could tell us your settings for those silvers?

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks. Nothing fancy settings wise. If I remember right this hunt was all terrain low conductor, recovery speed 5, running all metal (no disc), upper ferrous limits 7 and lower at 3.

[@MD-NWWI]

That's impressive! Some videos I watch make me wish I got in on the pre orders for that manticore. Others make me glad I didn't. My buddy is still waiting for his. I found a loophole during kellyco black Friday sales. Gift cards were 15% off! So you buy the gift card, then use a a KZbinr 10% off code and your walking out with a manticore for $1200!!! I didn't have the funds at the time, but he got in. It will be fun to go out to the old parks and compare some targets. Great work! Keep the videos coming

[@finders-keepers1518]

Wow....that really is a great deal! I had your exact thoughts and almost cancelled my order but a digging buddy talked me into it. Is it worth buying another machine? Eh, probably not but hey it's my main hobby and it's better than spending it on beer or something useless. Thanks for watching! John.

[@digginjuggernaut81]

Just killing it with that new machine. I need one big time. I enjoyed watching.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks man! It's a neat machine.

[@williampaxton871]

Excellent video. What is the shovel you are using? It looks like a good one.

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks for watching! That shovel is a Predator Phoenix. One of my favorites. HH.

[@IffySignals]

Wow you guys did great. Congrats 👍

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks Mike!

[@PARelicHunters]

That Manticore is going to pay for it self in silver soon. Great job John, very nice ring also. Can you hear a difference between silver and clad coins?

[@finders-keepers1518]

Yeah it's doing well Dave! Thanks buddy. No I'd say much like other machines the id will be the biggest indicator for silver coins. HH

[@ohdannyboyjustadiggin]

What a Hunt. This Manticore is sure proving itself out in the field. Well The person swinging it is proving it is worth the investment. Cause we know that you got to learn the detector. Peace

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks Danny! I agree....def. a learning curve but if one is coming from an EQ then the curve is shorter for sure. TC

[@charlieschemmel122]

Awesome hunt thanks for sharing!!!!

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks Charlie!

[@daviesmia]

I usually have a couple nerf gun foam darts in my finds pouch, they work great for putting sharp things, like hat pins, so I won't get stuck...😁

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thats a great idea! I love learning others' detecting secrets. So simple but has to work. Thanks for watching and HH. John.

[@markkus1134]

Nice job I’ve noticed the same with my 900 on a river spot gone over with 800 new silver coins being found one I got was a 1721 Pistareen silver

Sweet Silvers!!! Hopefully getting my Manticore soon! How did you have your machine set up for this hunt?

[@finders-keepers1518]

Thanks! This was actually running all my same usual coin settings only in LC.

[@grassholesmetaldetecting8471]

Nice finds! Nothing is hunted out I remember when I upgraded to the etrac and hit the parks that we’re supposed to be hunted out and they we’re definitely not lol now I go back with the nox and still pull a silver now and then! Can’t wait to get my hands on the Manticore!!

[@finders-keepers1518]

For sure! HH

[@DiggingItBack]

Man, John. You Absolutely crushed it with the Manticore. Are you using a particular coin shooter program?

[@finders-keepers1518]

Hello Charlie. Thanks for watching! I'm running a very simple 5 tone coin program with a high tone nickel slot. All terrain LC with recovery 5, sens at 21 and ferrous limits at upper 7, lower 3.

[@pigeonbloodruby5330]

Amazing how many silvers you found on edge, you can't make this up! :) You said you were looking for gold, were you using AT-Low Conductors or something else? Tks! & HH.

[@finders-keepers1518]

I know what you mean! My thoughts exactly. My first hunt with the MC I was popping out clad quarters at pounded areas and scratching my head....here that's what it was! Most of these were in LC.....but I've been noticing the trend in all programs. It's interesting! Thanks buddy, John.

[@pigeonbloodruby5330]

@@finders-keepers1518 ATLC and pounding out the high conductors (HC) on edge, got it! LOL Go back and hit it again with ATHC! I've been testing the parameter settings and the sequence of initiating settings for ATLC. What I've noticed is that ATLC reduces the depth of detection of the HC, silver, clad, foil. But if a HC is within the range of detection it's going to scream. Tks! & HH.

[@finders-keepers1518]

@@pigeonbloodruby5330 Yes indeed. I got a live dug (small) 2 hole button pinpointer deep in LC, sens. 21 and recovery 5. I thought it was impressive considering the size of the object! LC works better in nails too. Less falsy. Thanks again buddy!
