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 adds 2D Target ID and rich audio options so targets show up as both a number and a shape on screen. It ships with an 11-inch Double-D Smartcoil, ML-105 wireless headphones, a Pro-Find 40 pinpointer and a padded bag. It suits serious hobbyists moving up from an Equinox or Vanquish who want more depth and better target separation in trashy ground.

Owners rate the Manticore highly for depth and target separation, and many call it a clear step up from the Equinox 800. The common complaints are the learning curve, the weight on long hunts and the busy menu system.
The Minelab Manticore is a waterproof, multi-frequency metal detector built around the Multi-IQ+ engine. Multi-IQ+ is a simultaneous multi-frequency engine that sends more power through the coil across a wider range of operating frequencies. It produces 50% more power than the Equinox series. Revamped signal processing gives improved discrimination, finer Target ID resolution and better 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. Ferrous Limits are adjustable, so you can accept ferrous coins, reject complex ferrous targets, or unmask targets in iron. Audio options 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 display backlight, a backlit keypad and handgrip vibration. Improved EMI rejection allows higher sensitivity in challenging conditions. The detector is rated IP68 and can be submerged up to 5 m (16 ft).
