The Minelab Manticore is a metal detector sold here as a bundle with a PRO-FIND 40 pinpointer and a Minelab Universal Metal Detector Carry Bag. The detector uses Multi-IQ+ simultaneous multi-frequency technology. It has an 11 inch Double-D round coil with a skidplate and a three-piece carbon fiber shaft.
A 2D Target ID Map plots conductivity from 0 to 99 across the map and ferrous properties up the side. Each detection leaves a trace that fades after about 5 seconds. The trace is affected by the target's composition, orientation and depth, the swing speed and the frequency, so it is meant to be read together with the audio and the target ID. The detector also has a pinpoint button and a 5-level depth indicator.
The PRO-FIND 40 pinpointer is for recovering targets in the hole. It has five sensitivity levels, Ferrous Tone ID, vibration and an LED flashlight. The Universal Metal Detector Carry Bag lets the detector and pinpointer be carried and stored together.
