Hi Tom,
Quick question:
Do you know when will be released next firmware update? And what's new on that update?
Or is super secret?
Thanks!

Hi Tom,
During the last two hunts I have been using the M11 pñcoil, to push it to the maximum and achieve the greatest coverage and depth, and extrapolate the by results to the M15, compared from the M8.
Zero gold finds.
I have made 2 beginner mistakes:
1. With the desire to search for maximum depth and knowing how Manticore handles EMI, I have set the detector to a very high sensitiv

It will hurt, sure, but we trust you precisely because we know that what you tell us is what it really is, Tom!
I thank you about M15 verdict. The tests we have carried out with the M11 give us very good raw depth, especially in normal and dense objects. On small and/or thin objects, M8 gives greater performance.
Either of the M8 and M11 coils are wonderful on a wet, salty sand beach. M8 se

Hi Tom,
As you see, I am a jewelry seeker on saltwater beaches, in the north of Spain, Atlantic area. In these areas we have large tides, so you have to look in large areas of wet sand.
Some areas have some dense iron, and I use small coils there, very successfully and very effectively.
Lately I have been using Manticore, with M8 and M11 coils, and I am considering purchasing M15 coil,

Hi Tom, Handling Manticore with the coil so close to the ground and such high sensitivity, with the detector so "hot" is not difficult for me because I have been with Equinox for several years. Still, it took me a few hours to get used to the new prospecting audio in LC mode. As you have indicated, mastering the Salt deltas and their growls, to differentiate them from the growls of very

Hello Tom!
I was detecting M8, LC on Friday and in very similar conditions to previous days.
The beach is still open and continues to produce, although not at the same rate, since we have already removed the most detectable signals.
Stable vdi 10 signal, about 30 cm (11" approx), a handmade, artisan ring. I have no idea how old it may be, but it is beautiful.
I didn't go bel

Thank you very much Tom for sharing your knowledge and enthusiasm with us. I have followed your advice, and little by little I have been mastering the machine, to the point that on beaches and places where with the Equinox 800 and 6" coil I could only execute sensitivity 23, with the Manticore and the M8 I have managed to reach levels sensitivity 30, and recovery speed 3, although a little c

Tom, I have a "funny" question for you.
I have used an Equinox 800, which I have been diving underwater for the last 4 years, with the 6¨ EQX coil.
Now I have acquired a Manticore with the M8', and I am still testing it.
Is the M8 as sensitive, deep and accurate as the 6¨? Or more? Do you have any of those interesting data that you usually share with us?
And what would be

Hi Tom,
I have a couple of proposals, let's see what you think.
1.- The fact that the Manty's screen is color may be one of the reasons why the battery lasts significantly less than in the Equinox. Have you considered the possibility of creating a dark mode, or a screen mode that darkens and only leaves the fundamental elements in black and white, or that can be turned off and on
