XP Deus 2 vs Minelab Manticore

[@anthonywestwood8489]

I really enjoyed hearing the audio nuances in the tones on both the Deus II and Manticore, as from a prospective purchase point of view; I really appreciated having the opportunity to hear the tones on both machines really clearly. So, thank you for uploading a very informative video which helps potential purchasers of the Deus II and Manticore make an informed decision. Those two fibula brooches were awesome!

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Thanks anthonywestwood8489 We are blessed with our fibula field 😊 And thanks for the kind words, hope the machine audio came out ok unlike the intro🙃 👍😊 good luck

[@anthonywestwood8489]

@@DIRTBROSDETECTING The audio from both machines was clear as a bell. Plus, I agree with you about the audio lock-on capabilities of the Minelab machines, as the audio is always punchy and stops you in your tracks. Also, if the intro audio did have a glitch, it was more than compensated by the videography skills! Happy Hunting

@@anthonywestwood8489 cheers mate, I do try.. things can only get better😃😂 thanks for the feedback 👍

[@dapawaz8310]

I agree. Audio intelligence is a must for me on any detector. Great job capturing it.

[@Si_digs]

Great suff fella, two of the best machines on the market!👌🏽

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

@JonDoe-fj8gr 😊👍 sure are mate

[@jasonmileham]

Fantastic finds and a great video, thanks for making and sharing. I have the D2 and always wonder about the Manticore, after watching I don't feel like I would be losing or necessarily gaining either if I had the Manticore over the D2! :)

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

@jasonwow9 thanks. Really not a lot between them, but the manticore has some magic in there.. has opened my eyes a few times

[@leonardjackman354]

Thanks for the video l find not much difference between them . But the Deus 2 better on ploughed land. Len

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Thanks@@leonardjackman354 12” on a hammered in plough is pretty good for the manticore, suprised me tbh! But yes the D2 has plucked up some deep ones as well😊 cheers

[@Detect-Oregon]

Gotta love the D2’s ergonomics, brilliant. Beautifully balanced with that 9” coil. Probably the only place the manticore falls short, my opinion.

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

@@Detect-Oregon 11” vs 11” the manticore is just as nice to swing as the d2 for me, I sold my 9” coil for D2 but I wonder how the new 9” coil for the manticore compares?

[@MarcelaR-dh1ok]

This local beach...La Barqueta...is rather clean and I'm certain has never been hunted with a pi... My son was using it several years ago...does a great job cutting through the black sand here....This sounds crazy but he was finding silver chains down to about 3 feet along with lots of junk jewelry...some trash too but not bad.

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

@@MarcelaR-dh1ok good work!

[@ehsansh7107]

نوشتار با دوربین Hello how are you I have a question ? Do you think Deos 2 with Loop Extreme Hunter is good for a depth of 2 meters? How is it suitable for mountainous areas? And is it better than other devices of the same price or is there a more suitable option?

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

@@ehsansh7107 Hi, thanks for the comment.. Yes I think the extreme hunter is good for two meters on large objects, obviously mountain areas may not be the best digging down into rock? I had a Garrett gti2500 which also used the two coil add on on but the deus 2 would be where my money would be going👍 good luck

[@islamic_chroma]

Which is the best device for rocks and mountains?

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

I would say the one with the smallest coil @islamic_chroma👍

I don't think you can find a target with either of those detectors I can't find with my Minelab Sovereign or Explorer. Having said that, I do have a Manticore and I love it. Unfortunately, I have found most of the deep targets with my older detectors and now I just don't find many anymore. I really wonder if the investment is really worth it. I'm not talking about new sites, but talking about sites where I've used all my detectors.

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

I agree, I’m sure all vlf detectors have their limits.. it’s the tricky targets in iron etc that the new machines might uncover. The manticore opened my eyes on a few targets and like the equinox series can pick out very deep signals which have suprised me. I’ve been digging the not so perfect signals and have been surprised at what comes out the ground but then I’m still learning the manticore, lots to come with it thanks 😊👍

[@pamphstrigkas6327]

Halloo from Greece! I watch your videos i want to asking who metal detector is better for gold coins but around 80cm ? For example in 80 cm depth i got 20 gold coins togaither maybe inside in iron maybe not ! Around weight 10grms per coin all togaither 200 gr gold .! I look for metal detector and I can't decide... manticore. xp deus II .XP oxr .nokta simp . Monster gold 1000 Im really confused..

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Hi@@pamphstrigkas6327 80cm is very deep, but if it’s hoard then you may have a chance with all of the machines you have listed. If you were solely looking for gold then the monster gold 1000 needs to be high on the list but everything else either the deus 2 or manticore. I am enjoying the manticore lately but like any machine you need to spend hours learning it to listen for those hard signals that may well be the deep gold you are searching for, sounds interesting and good luck hunting!😃

[@pamphstrigkas6327]

​@@DIRTBROSDETECTING Thanks alot maybe i choice monster 1000 because i look only for alot of gold coins togaither like a small treasure . I wish you the best and good luck man ! 🙏🙏

[@clarkfox7961]

Deus 2 lovely detector I'm more than happy with mine super light and very deep I certainly won't be changing.

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Thanks @clarkfox7961 it’s a lovely machine to use, love mine😊👍

[@mase202]

Awesome video can you please share your settings on the manticore? Looks like it’s at sensitivity 27 wow mine is very chatty and unstable at that level

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

No worries@@mase202 General all terrain Recovery 5 Upper limits 7 Lower 2 Stabiliser 3 Filter off Iron volume 3 2 region all tones with 5 below lowered in tone and volume I’m usually on 28 sensitivity in my area, sometimes come down to 24/26 In iron I’m at 19/22 and recovery 6 depending how heavy it is Horse always on

Good shout @stevetodd9172😊👍 I’ve had so many different types from the field, I think I’ve stumbled on a fibula factory!

That bullet wasn't from our civil war

Thanks @barrylee742 You’re right definitely not from ours, I think the two I found were 1800’s

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

@@crisdebeer9763 😂 they made so many mad designs and that field is full of them literally.. can’t wait to get in there when it’s been harvested

[@StevieMoore-q3c]

i have the deus 2 and would think the minelab is a better machine .. deus2 is far to unstable even now after two years ..

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Thanks@@StevieMoore-q3c I agree, I can’t use the high square audio while running the D2 hot, whereas the minelab machines have a nack of making you stop without the drama even when running fairly low sensitivity, also the manticore handles emi a lot better than the D2 I’ve found, cheers😊

[@brettellis1837]

Note cover for deus to make water proof well get a price mine lab water proof ear phones would be the only extra needed.minelab bloody brilliant.😂

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Thanks @brettellis1837

[@rhyshunter1972]

i still cant fault the nox 800 is better than both of these at depth way more stable.i have both these machines and still prefer the nox 800 it still the beast in my eyes

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

I’m sure the nox 800 would find 98% of the manticores, not sure on the stability at depth? I used to get one way hits on the nox on deep targets where the manticore can give you info moving all around the target, not taking anything away from the nox but you can feel they have worked to make it better, just my experience👍

[@Si_digs]

@rhyshunter1972 • ...... 🙄 lol

[@brettellis1837]

Mine lab better build cheaper deus 2 extra bits to expensive manticore only other coil m9 is the best good depth cuts through water very good thinner.

[@DIRTBROSDETECTING]

Minelabs are well built but the remote on the D2 is bombproof, thanks @brettellis1837👍

[@MarcelaR-dh1ok]

Any pulse machine is far superior...depth
