Rick....... you should try the Manticore (with M8 coil) in Goldfield Mode. It's unbelievable! It will show you EVERY SINGLE masking/micro-masking target! It is SO powerful/ridiculous ....... beyond what I can handle........ that I end up having to use --- All Terrain - Low Conductors --- Mode....... ,,,,,,, which is STILL a extremely hyper-sensitive Mode. Couple either one of these Modes with: Prospecting Audio........ and you have a 'Professor' in your hands. . . . . . teaching you: Geophysics.
I do not dig iron at the beach; yet, will dig iron at prime inland/turf sites.

I ordered the Manticore and the m8 today. I decided not to wait till spring. I don't know if the price will go back up. Got the Manticore and m8 for $1250. A lot better than the original price.

That's why I got it now because of the sale. It might go back up.
