Manticore and Deus 2 Metal Detectors Comparing Signals 

Somewhere in Colonial America

Besides the pocket watch, most of the stuff was with or near iron. It was my first time there but I know the guys that hunted it previously with their CTXs were all very good. We obviously don't always get this quality but we've been going back too many old sites with these new Fast machines and we're pulling out so many targets out of worked out areas.

@@DetectorComparisons i've been doing the same carter; its funny because sometimes, it appears i did a killer job the first time i was there with the NOX....and other sites it is like i was never there before!!!lol....must be the iron content difference at the different sites. was curious why you run you D2 at only 2 on the recovery speed and in such areas with alot of iron, the DISC only at 6.5?? i have found that with the lightning processor speeds of the D2, that in crappy areas, i can run the DISC in the 40-50 area and pick alot of deeper stuff that has been missed by everyone else(that is why i run my recovery speed at 1/2 -1 to grab as much depth as i can

@@davemiller8215 I keep the disc low because I like to hear all the iron. I still find the D2 gets excellent depth with the recovery speed at 2 while being able to separate the good targets from the iron.

Yes, in the description I wrote down the settings of the D2 where I just tweaked the general search program.

Funny you say that, there were so many targets that we mainly dug mid-range and up. We're going back this week and will be digging the lower conductive targets.

Nevermind I see you posted them in the description. Thanks.

Absolutely, we're going to be shooting another video going back to this spot in the next couple of days and he'll talk more detail about the settings. He's pretty excited about how it's working now. The only drawback is the Deep iron still is a little bit of a problem but he'll explain what he's done in the settings to make it better.

@@DetectorComparisons Thank you! Good luck on your next hunt...

Is this particular hunt I was using all terrain general but my audio profile was “depth” because of all the iron. I find “depth” audio really brings those non ferrous targets out in heavy iron. The only drawback is everything sounds the same so you have to look at the screen always. My recovery speed was 4-5 depending on how much iron there was. I always hunt in open screen because I like the hear the iron. My sensitivity ranges from 19-23 at this site because things are not that deep and too high of a setting in a carpet of nails and you won’t be able to slice through the iron as well. Hope this helps

@@jimzilladetecting Thank you very much. I appreciate you taking the time to respond. Good luck on your next hunt!

If your coppers are US large cents and they are not worn thin or heavily corroded, they can read 94 to 95 pretty consistently. There are also many factors that could change the numbers for example if there is iron nearby or if the coin is heavily corroded or heavily worn. Not all coppers are equal... in general large cents will read higher than State Coppers. Not sure why you read a half real at 95. I find half reals are pretty consistent reading about 89 to 90. Even on the D2 is very accurate when displaying Target ID numbers, I rely more on the sound of the target.

I list the D2 settings in the video description. Will be trying the Manticore in salt water soon.

@@DetectorComparisons thanks appreciate it

Soaked rhe copper coins in hydrogen peroxide

Depending on how much corrosion there is, I use a 0000 steel wool then I add Verdicare and buff it dry. The Verdicare really brings out the color

You might be pleasantly surprised, the D2 is so fast

Jimmy was using the gray ghost wireless headphones made for the Manticore. The uniprobe that I was using is also available for the Manticore. You could read about them and see a list of dealers at detectorpro.com

He has a RU-vid channel called Jimzilla

@@DetectorComparisons great Thank you so much!!

It is called the uniprobe. You can read about it at detectorpro.com

The detectors did not go that deep yet we came back with a pocketful of Silver's every time we went out. No discrimination so we dug everything

Those are gray ghost wireless headphones. You could read about them at Detectorpro.com
