Manticore Test Drive

[The Rebel]

Went out in the backyard this afternoon to begin to learn how this operates.

I have not updated it yet as I wanted to see before & after tests, to see what if anything changed.

What I noticed is that a Sliver quarter did not ring up at all, which I have no idea why, so need your help as to what the issue is.

Washington Quarter - No response.
Indian Head - 55
1/2 Real - 82
Seated Dime - 87
Large Cent - 88

Interesting. Are these coins buried in your test plot? I've seen some videos on YouTube about the manticore and apparently the settings are tricky (?).

Nope, I just placed them flat on the ground.

So odd, no quarter. I hope you figure it out!

I have had no issues like that! Try a noise cancel and maybe that will work. A quarter should be 89-91.

There's a big thread over on Friendly about this issue. Seems to be defective coils from the factory. I've reached out to ML to see what to do.

[Bucknut]

Wow! These coils must be really special in some way. The other coils are still not available from Minelab and it’s been over a year! Hope they swap it out for you quick!

Minelab swapped out a coil for my eTrac when it went bad about 8 years ago and I got it back in less than a week.

ML reached out to me this afternoon & is sending me a new coil.

Catch is they're sending me a label (hopefully a box as well) & once they get my coil back, they'll ship my new one out same day.
