Our take on the Minelab Manticore Metal Detector - Backpack & Pro-Find 40 Bundle

The Manticore is Minelab's top-tier simultaneous multi-frequency detector, built on the Multi-IQ+ platform with a wide target ID range and 2D target trace on a color screen. This bundle adds the Pro-Find 40 pinpointer and a Minelab backpack, which speeds up recovery and protects the detector on the way to a site. It suits serious hobbyists and relic, beach and park hunters who want depth and target separation without stepping up to the GPX gold machines. Against the Equinox 900 it offers a richer display and more tuning, at the cost of weight and a steeper learning curve.

About the Minelab Manticore Metal Detector - Backpack & Pro-Find 40 Bundle

The Minelab Manticore is a mid-to-high-range coin and treasure metal detector. This bundle pairs it with a backpack and a Pro-Find 40 pinpointer for recovering targets. It uses Multi-IQ+ technology, which Minelab states gives over 50% more power than the Equinox 800.

The detector weighs 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs) and has a compact three-piece carbon-fiber shaft system. It is watertight to 16 feet (5 m). A large LCD screen is used to view and navigate settings, and a 2D ID Map shows target ID visually and audibly. Exact target ID lets you accept or reject finds with confidence.

It has more than 10 preset search modes, and you can personalize up to 10 modes of your own. Boosted EMI rejection helps isolate targets in difficult conditions. For low light, it has a control box flashlight, an auto-adjusting display backlight, a backlit keypad and handgrip vibration. Audio plays through the built-in speaker or the included low latency wireless headphones.

Questions and answers

Is the Manticore a big upgrade over the Equinox 900?
Yes for depth, target trace and tuning options. The Equinox 900 is lighter and simpler, so casual hunters may not need the extra.
Is the Manticore waterproof?
The coil and control pod are rated for shallow submersion, so rain and wet sand are fine. The bundled headphones are not waterproof.
What is in the bundle?
The Manticore detector with an 11-inch Double-D coil and cover, ML-105 wireless headphones, a Pro-Find 40 pinpointer with holster and battery, a Minelab backpack, charging cable, screen protectors and a quick start guide.
Does the Pro-Find 40 work with the Manticore?
Yes. It is a standalone pinpointer that narrows down the target in the hole, and it is not paired to the detector.
Can I use it on wet sand and in shallow water?
Yes. The coil and pod handle wet sand and shallow submersion. Keep the headphones dry.
How hard is it to learn?
The default modes work out of the box. The full menu of frequencies, recovery speed and discrimination takes several sessions to learn.
