Unleash The Beast: The Minelab Manticore Metal Detector

Introduction

Experience the next evolution in treasure hunting with the Minelab Manticore. Dubbed "The Beast," this high-performance machine redefines what is possible in metal detecting. Whether you are a seasoned relic hunter, a beach combing pro, or searching for gold nuggets, the Manticore delivers 50% more power than the legendary Equinox series.

Driven by Minelab's revolutionary Multi-IQ+ technology, the Manticore is the deepest metal detector in its class, offering faster recovery speeds and elite target separation. Don't just detect—identify targets with precision before you dig.

Why Choose the Minelab Manticore?

1. Revolutionary Multi-IQ+ Technology

The Manticore is built on the most powerful simultaneous multi-frequency engine ever created: Multi-IQ+. This allows the detector to push deeper into the ground and provide more accurate IDs, even in the most challenging mineralized soils. It’s like having multiple detectors in one, scanning all frequencies at once to ensure you never miss a target.

2. See What Lies Beneath with 2D Target ID

Stop guessing and start finding. The Manticore features an exclusive 2D Target ID Map (Target Trace). Unlike traditional detectors that only show a single ID number, the Manticore displays both conductivity and ferrous properties visually. You can instantly distinguish between trash (like bottle caps and nails) and treasure (like silver coins and gold rings).

3. Fast Recovery Speed & Separation

Trashy sites are no match for the Manticore. With its adjustable recovery speed, you can separate closely spaced targets with surgical precision. Hear the faint whisper of a silver dime hiding right next to an iron nail.

4. Fully Waterproof & Rugged Design

Take your hunt anywhere. The Manticore is a fully waterproof metal detector submersible up to 16 feet (5 meters) (IP68 rating). Whether you are diving in the surf or caught in a rainstorm, the robust carbon-fibre shaft keeps the machine lightweight (only 1.3 kg / 2.9 lbs) and durable for all-day swinging.

Key Features at a Glance

10 Customizable Search Modes: Optimized presets for All-Terrain, Beach, and Goldfield hunting.
