Supported Targets

The Minelab Manticore is designed to detect a wide range of metallic targets across different environments, including:

  • Natural Gold: Gold nuggets in mineralised goldfields.
  • Coins: Modern and historical coins.
  • Jewellery: Gold and silver rings, bracelets, and other metallic jewellery.
  • Relics: Historical metallic objects and artefacts.
  • General Metals: Ferrous and non-ferrous metallic objects.

Note: Detection performance depends on target size, depth, ground conditions, and selected search settings.

Minelab Manticore Multi-IQ+ Detection Technology

Multi-IQ+ Detection Technology

The Minelab Manticore features advanced Multi-IQ+ technology, using simultaneous multi-frequency detection to analyse different metallic targets across a wide range of ground conditions.

This technology delivers improved target identification, enhanced sensitivity, and greater flexibility when searching for coins, jewellery, relics, and natural gold. Users can also select individual operating frequencies of 5, 10, 15, 20, and 40 kHz to adapt the detector to specific environments and search requirements.

Combined with adjustable ground balance, noise cancellation, and recovery speed settings, Multi-IQ+ helps maintain stable detection performance in challenging environments.

Minelab Manticore 10 Search Modes

10 Search Modes

The Minelab Manticore features 10 customisable search modes, allowing users to adapt detection performance to different targets, ground conditions, and environments.

All-Terrain Modes

General, Fast, Low Conductors, High Conductors, and Trash Reject. These five modes are designed for detecting coins, jewellery, and relics in parks, fields, and areas containing metallic interference.

Beach Modes

General, Low Conductors, Deep, and Surf & Seawater. These four modes are optimised for beach environments, including wet sand, saltwater conditions, and shallow-water detecting.

Goldfield Mode

Goldfield General is designed for natural gold prospecting in mineralised ground, providing settings suited to detecting gold nuggets.

Each mode offers adjustable detection settings, helping users balance sensitivity, target separation, and stability according to their search conditions.

Minelab Manticore 2D Target ID Map and Target Trace

2D Target ID & Discrimination

The Minelab Manticore features an advanced 2D Target ID Map that displays conductive and ferrous target characteristics, helping users analyse detected objects before digging.

Its innovative Target Trace technology provides a visual representation of target responses, allowing users to evaluate signal consistency and identify potential differences between desirable metals and unwanted iron objects.

The detector also includes adjustable Ferrous Limits, discrimination patterns, and Target ID values from 0 to 99, offering greater control when searching in areas containing mixed metallic targets.

By combining visual identification with adjustable audio responses, the Manticore helps users make more informed digging decisions. Actual target identification accuracy depends on soil conditions, target depth, size, and nearby metal interference.

Field Performance

The Minelab Manticore is designed to deliver versatile detection performance across a wide range of environments, including parks, agricultural fields, beaches, and natural goldfields. Its advanced Multi-IQ+ technology, adjustable sensitivity, and target discrimination features help users adapt to different ground conditions.

In the field, the Manticore offers several practical advantages:

  • Target Separation: Adjustable recovery speed helps distinguish nearby metallic targets in areas containing multiple objects.
  • Beach Detection: Dedicated beach modes support searching on dry sand, wet sand, and in saltwater environments.
  • Gold Prospecting: Goldfield Mode is designed for detecting natural gold in mineralised ground.
  • Underwater Searching: Waterproof construction allows detecting at depths of up to 5 metres underwater.
  • Comfortable Operation: Lightweight construction and an adjustable shaft support extended detecting sessions.

Actual field performance depends on target characteristics, ground mineralisation, electromagnetic interference, search coil selection, and operating settings.
