Manticore leak in the wild

[LongJohnSilver1]

Oh dear. I saw a post on the beach detecting Australia facebook group this morning showing a water logged Manticore.
I hope this isn't the same saga as the Leakquinox!

After flooding my CTX and retiring it and my Equinox from ever going back in the water, i don't think many trust a Minelab that isn't an Excal in the water submerged any more. My CTX got water intrusion through the screen seam.

The picture I saw was water under the screen. The Manticore design looks so similar to the nox I just can't trust it.

Trust it under warranty!!!!

Sounds like too many changes without the engineering to go with it.

The Excal is my go to water detector. I don't want screens just sounds.

I just want GOLD ! But I agree , screens can be a good feature particularly for dirt hunters. But for the beach , you probably dig 90% of everything anyways unless you attempt to cherrypick. Screens are just a distraction and time gobbler. And time is the 2nd most important thing when beach hunting.

Same... bring back the GT as well.... no need for a screen at the beach...

You probably will use the screen if you listen to those testers who think you will get the same numbers on it substituting Styrofoam for black sand, minerals, and salt those guys are a joke. KOB when is the last time you found a gold ring next to a colonial square nail?

Hello Minelab! We love the Sovereign detector! Please remake it for us.

My digital screen on my sov elite was very helpful.

Captain Silver loved his meter, we talked about it last night on the phone... I don't know what I was thinking when I sold both of my GTs.. oh well live and learn..

I am thinking, when I get some cash I will put up a wanted ad for a sovereign, you can too!

Didn't Raider have one forsale?

I think so but the price might have been too high for me.

I don't even know what a colonial square nail looks like. Are they made of gold or something ? If not , a nail is a nail. It's trash.

 

[too_pointer]

I consider square nails like wheat back's , guess when I find either, I hunt that area harder for something old and good !
too_

That's my Australian beach group .. pop in and say hello

 

[Crumble]

That’s why I ordered the Deus 2, don’t trust my CTX, or any Minelab, in the water.

Sovereign series are gone, they can't match Equinox series and manticore.
Sovereign series and excalibur series "Outdated Technology"
