The Minelab Manticore is a simultaneous multi-frequency detector built on the Multi-IQ+ engine, which Minelab rates at 50% more power than the Equinox series. It pairs that with 2D Target Identification and rich audio so targets show up as both a number and a shape on screen. It is a serious machine aimed at experienced detectorists hunting deep or masked targets on land and in shallow water, and it sits above the Equinox 800/900 in Minelab's lineup. Owners rate its depth and target separation highly but note the learning curve and the weight on long sessions.

Owners and reviewers treat the Manticore as a top-tier multi-frequency detector, praising its depth, target separation and 2D ID screen. The common complaints are weight and the time it takes to learn the settings.
The Minelab Manticore is a waterproof, multi-frequency metal detector built on the Multi-IQ+ Simultaneous Multi-Frequency engine. It transmits more power through the coil across a wider range of operating frequencies. Minelab states it delivers a 50% power increase over the EQUINOX series. Revamped signal processing provides enhanced discrimination, greater Target ID resolution and improved target separation.
It has 10 customizable Search Modes, including All-Terrain for inland detecting, Beach for sand, surf and seawater zones, and Goldfield for gold nuggets. Adjustable Ferrous Limits let you accept ferrous coins, reject complex ferrous targets, or maximize target unmasking in iron. Improved EMI rejection allows higher sensitivity in challenging conditions.
Audio controls include customizable target tones, EMI chatter suppression, and Continuous Pitch (VCO) audio with ferrous tones and a true threshold tone. For low light, it has a control pod flashlight, an auto-adjusting backlit display, a backlit keypad and handgrip vibration. It is rated IP68 and can be submerged up to 5 m (16 ft).
