[@treasurearth]

Wow !! Fantastic day out, Great saves, thanks for sharing !! Cheers

[@davewilson9272]

Thanks Dan, another great episode. Im new to detecting (5 months). Addicted to youtube now and barely watch TV. Love these episodes, especially you and young Grif. Keep them coming. My Manticore just arrived by DPD, will be looking out how to use it. Thankyou.

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

Thank you mate, I love hanging out with Griff, he's a great lad 👌. This hobby only gets better as you go along, so enjoy your new manticore and the adventures 👍. Best of luck mate, hope the videos help you 😊

[@davewilson9272]

@DiggerDanMetalDetecting thanks bud. Its a game changer. Given the limited time I get (work and fatherhood) a few hours with the beast is proving to be be amazing. I'll have a finds cabinet like your in no time at this rate. Nice new boots. To justify price.. your either on your feet or sleeping. Good boots, good bed.

[@davewilson9272]

Ps. I'd gridded one of my permissions this farming season to search for a plough blade for the farmer. Walked on the same field with manticorr, 5 minutes later.. Charles 2nd silver..

[@muzzychuck]

Dan mate, if I could like this more than once, I would. Another great hunt 👍

[@craigwatson662]

Finally subscribed 🎉 i love ya videos, mate. I've been detecting for only 8 months, but they have helped me build my knowledge so much. I look forward to your next.

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

He knows the stuff!

[@Mikwar22]

Nice coins you found there, the manti and the 9” coil is a perfect combo🎉

[@Gareth8645]

Hi Dan, love the video’s 😊 The button with the crown and wheel 😂 is a Royal Artillery button. I watch your videos and immediately get jealous, I use an XTerra Pro and just can’t imagine walking over so many coins as you do 😂 But I have only been detecting 9 months.

[@fatyank44]

Nothing most other machines wouldn't find at that depth. It all boils down to the fact that you have a field with a lot of history buried, and you still have to walk over it.

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

On a field like that, it's not about depth. More about target and iron separation. The Manticore is outstanding at doing this and that's why it finds so much 👍

[@gordthompson6389]

What a spectacular day of finds in this field. Hope the owner allows you to keep most of those beautiful hammerds and the buckles. Well done Dan.

[@tanithmessenger3581]

What an awesome day!! Really love the gilded buckle/strap end 😍

[@dm51964]

Superb and the buckle with the gilded plate is 12th to early 13th Century by the looks of it. Lots of white lead and old iron shows past activity and something that would keep me on a field and much prefer them over any very quiet field. Some of my best finds including gold coins and rings and lots of hammered have come from lead and iron infested fields over the years. You are doing everything right and that machine is cracking

[@martinsanders5418]

All that digging? No way I'm getting a Manticore then! 😂 I think so many gorgeous finds, the first buckle and the strap end buckle are both stunning, and 7 hammered coins, a huge chunk of the credit must surely go to such an incredible, freshly turned over field Dan 😉 Although, I'm sure the manticore must be a royal pain in the ass going off like that, bleeping away every time it goes over a target. Hat's off to you sticking with it where many others would have given up 😆

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@martinsanders5418 it's a nightmare mate 😅😂 always going off and forcing me to dig stuff 😂. Yes it is a very productive field, but it's also a very heavily iron infested one and it makes the targets quite tricky most of the time. Thanks for watching

[@martinsanders5418]

@@DiggerDanMetalDetecting Well you could always invite me along with my Garrett 400i and challenge me to a dual "On guard!" 😂🤣😂 Corker of a video mate 😉

[@Dannysbirdshed]

Well done dan! What a day that is! I’m rocking the 900 I do find a lot with it but Im sure I’d find more with the manti, maybe the next tax rebate 😂 I will defo get myself an m9 coil tho a lot of poeple giving it the thumbs up! Not sure how it will get on with the 900 tho

[@steveshepherd2712]

Lots of good finds and a quality hammered, yes the Manticore is a brilliant machine and getting better the more I use it . Subbed 😉🇨🇦

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

It's a brilliant machine mate 👏. Thank you for the sub 😊👍

[@Gary002]

I would say number 6 is an Edward 2, Bristol mint. Cracking day !!

[@StylesFilms]

In my best parent voice.... "Daniel Moss! Stop that right now! Stop making me want to buy a Manitcore!!" 😂😂😂 What a machine... And what a load of quality finds again ❤❤

[@shaunjardine8485]

What an awesome day I've been detecting 10years and only had 4 hammys in all that time

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@shaunjardine8485 Thank you mate 😊. Keep at it buddy, there's more out there ✨️

[@jillianfortuna2348]

More history rescued. Best wishes out there and happy hunting.

[@ShauneinKent]

Another great video well done on all those hammered coins I love finding them plus like you love the manticore it takes time but once you have mastered it brilliant machine all the best shaune in Kent 👍👍👍

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

[@RussTNails-fw9ds]

You can't know what you don't find,this is on any machine😮😊

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

That's very true 👍, but you can know If you are finding more than you did before 😉

[@jeb1246]

Such a small coil on such a wide field. I expect many other detectors would have found the same, especially in such loose soil.

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@jeb1246 It's such a heavily iron infested field, that a large coil would miss more than it finds. The lose soil actually makes it more difficult for any machine, as it now has air gaps, which is not ideal conditions. Thanks for watching 😊👍

[@HeavyMetalDetectingPassion]

But it's so sweet after all!

[@Sayward82]

Hi Dan, have you tried the 15” coil? If you have would you take 9” over it? Cheers Russ

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@Sayward82 I've not used the 15" mate, as I have no real use for it. It would be too large for my ground, it wouldn't do as well in all the iron there, as the M9 👍

[@jimbmaldon]

Hi Dan, Im watching this one and you mentioned white legs because of work. Do you ever get to do the gardens and fields you are on for work???

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

[@andrewtrafford9195]

What mode are using please, ATG ATLC ATHC etc

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

I Use ATF as my go to mode 👍. The next video, up tonight at 6pm uk, shows all of my settings 😉👍

[@andrewtrafford9195]

ATF ATG ATT all use the same frequencies and weightings. I’m considering ATLC to assist with detecting hammered coins and gold 😂 Didn’t find ATHC beneficial in the UK designed more for the US market I feel and causes excessive iron falsing

i make a few run with manticore and not convince me at all! yeah go depht but in 10 times only 3 was coin other 7 was iron sound good! i make a lot of change see videos but for now i cant setting for my purpose

Very good…. 👍

Dan, what happened with the another spade ?

@@Carlos_Grande63 fancied something with a more narrow head 👍. Now my spade matched my digging trowel 😅

Nice days detecting there, Dan 👍...if you dont already know that lovely hammered is a Bristol mint penny Obverse: + ЄDW R’ ANGL’ DNS hyB (Edward King of England Lord of Ireland) Legend around crowned facing portrait within inner beaded circle. Reverse: VILLA BRISTOLLIE (Town of Bristol) Long cross pattée, trefoil of pellets in angles, mint name around.

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@kevinjohnston1988 That's some amazing info right there mate, thank you very much for the help 👍

[@kevinjohnston1988]

My pleasure, mate. looking forward to your next dig. I have a quick question: Where can I find your Manticore settings?

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

If you head on over to the Facebook group, you can find my settings in photo form in the featured section 👍facebook.com/share/p/Hot3GFMCmVjsc8No/

[@kevinjohnston1988]

Thanks bud may see you out there one day at a Rally 👀👍

[@Stefan-wd9uv]

Dan are you using a powerbank on the Manticore? do you really need one?

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@Stefan-wd9uv hi mate, yes I'm using a PWRNOX. I usually go out for quite long periods, so I'd rather be on the safe side and have it all the time. It's mainly for when I go on weekenders though and I would probably not need it on my Saturdays 😊👍

[@dapawaz8310]

That's why I despise detectors with integral batteries. I much prefer replacements. Otherwise, Manti looks great.

[@TheStig1875]

Don’t know how you find a farmer who says yes, there is nothing around Cambridge, I have worked at the university for 30 years and they will not let you on any of their farm/land!!

[@marinoceccotti9155]

The major flaw of the Manticore is its price.

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@marinoceccotti9155 The way I always think of it is.... if you love a hobby, you should invest in it. Take fishing for example, people spent thousands on it for the kit they want. £1800 for a machine isn't a lot when you look at it like that, especially for a high-end machine like the Manticore 👌. You get what you pay for

[@fabianwylie8707]

I purchased a manticore in December 2022 , never ever regretted buying it. Found twice as much of the money I spent on it . Finding so much gold on beaches in Malaysia, all the gold here is 916 = 22 ct. the depth is insane using a M15 Coil on wet sand and in all Terrain high conductors. Used on land in wales and in Cornwall , in the , finding a few rose farthings!. Just a brilliant detector

[@nemzzystreamarmy705]

Hi Dan, Have you got your latest settings? Hitting a field tomorrow with my Manticore and still trying to zero in some good settings to get going with.

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

[@markwillcox8673]

Think you will find that field is planted you keep digging up the germinated seeds

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@markwillcox8673 I can assure you it's not. The farmer knows what has and hasn't been done, and he wouldn't let me on it if it was drilled 👍

[@pomzmetaldetecting1618]

Thanks for wasting 50mins to discover this vid is just click bait, suggest you choose a better title if you want subscribers. You had a blinding hunt no need to lower yourself to dirty tricks. Your choice of coil is yours I’m not convinced a 9 inch has much of an advantage over the stock coil or the 8 inch. Great sub count so you obviously have great content I won’t be subbing due to your click bate title.

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

@pomzmetaldetecting1618 not sure why you say it was a waste of time if you enjoyed the hunt? The title isn't everything. It's totally your choice weather you sub or not. It was more of a joke than click bate, and if you were one of my regular dedicated viewers, you would know my humour. Seems like you have just assumed my personality. Either way, this video has gained me over 40 subs, so clearly people were OK with it.

[@archieprd]

nobody cares how good ht emanticore is and no minelab aint gonna sponsor you, just show us your finds please....

[@DiggerDanMetalDetecting]

I'm sponsored by Dragon Detecting. Why would I want Minelab to sponsor me? They would probably make me use one of their terrible bags and Spades lol 😆. If I think a machine is absolutely amazing, then that's what I will tell people. I think I'll do what I feel like doing rather than what you tell me to 👍
