Great video... I find when I own a particular detector there is always that itch thinking another will be better. So as a Deus 2 owner I often contemplate the Manticore. Price has put me off thus far. But watching this you realise both are equally capable and lean towards different conditions and targets. All in all though I think the Deus 2 is amazing and a great price in the light version... So I will just be sticking with that... Your unbiased video helped

Thanks@@norseman1137 if you’ve ever used a deus 1 and equinox it’s much the same with the D2 and manticore. The minelab machines are very good at stopping you to dig and my old nox 800 used to amaze me with what it could sniff out especially on pasture, whereas the xp machines have better descriptive audio and just a nice machine to use. These tests are a bit of fun but weird how the manticore seems to struggle with freshly buried targets as it’s uncovered some crazy deep stuff for me. Good luck with the D2👍

Great video I've had Deus 2 for 2 years it's an amazing machine on all ground I'm finding some seriously deep targets with reactivity 3 in sensitive full tones but my finds rate is definitely higher since I put the remote in my pocket and dig by audio. 👍🍀

That was a really good entertaining video without bias towards either detector. Wherein, I’ve been on the fence for ages contemplating getting a Manticore, but after watching today’s video it has made me really appreciate my Deus II more than ever. Plus, the anticipation of the forthcoming new elliptical coil from XP adds the hope of further possibilities from an already great machine. I already have an Equinox 800, which I bought for my son, but who has now decided detecting is too anorak from him! And I’ve heard you mention a few times in your videos, that you located a hammered coin at 14 inches using the Equinox which is very inspiring information to other Nox owners! Also, I don’t know whether this makes sense, but the audio from the Deus II in my opinion somehow forms a 3D image in the mind’s eye of what exactually is underneath the ground. Whereas the Minelab fluty tones which are excellent at locking on to targets don’t really create such 3D mapping in the mind’s eye. Though one thing is for sure and that is Minelab make really good detectors, which somehow do something other manufacturers machines can’t. If anything, it’s the cost of acquiring additional coils for the Manticore which makes me hesitant to purchase one. Especially since the Equinox I bought my son came with the whole kit and Kaboodle offering exceptional value for money. I really enjoy watching your channel, as you make entertaining and informative videos. And I hope by the end of 2024, that your channel has acquired lots and lots of new subscribers!

@@anthonywestwood8489 as always thanks for the kind words on the channel, much appreciated😊👍 I hear you on the deus 2 tones, full tones definitely paints a better picture of what’s in the ground, I can usually guess the lead and most still whereas the manticore is harder to listen for, I actually found the equinox slightly better on the tones somehow as you knew you were onto something good with that, manticore has lots more to come for me but like you said they both have thier strengths and weaknesses, it’s seems one machine can’t do everything.. the minelabs are very good at alerting you to stop and dig, I need to explore high square more on the D2 as I think I may have missed a few deep whispers using full tones. I always try to create the best all round program for depth and speed and the audio option I like with the d2, it’s interesting comparing them so glad you enjoyed it, thanks!😎👍

@@DIRTBROSDETECTING I agree about the Manticore having lots more to offer you. As you undoubtedly have the diligence and perseverance necessary to thoroughly master the Manticore more than most others, as your knowledge of the Deus II speaks volumes for your level of understanding. Plus, when I get some better land, I probably will invest in a Manticore, as it’s definitely an incredibly powerful machine with lots of latent power to pull upon when needed, which also takes perseverance to understand fully. At least I know whose channel to check out for tips when I eventually do acquire a Manticore! Happy Hunting

@@DIRTBROSDETECTING I have already watched Iffy’s latest video and commented too. Myself personally, I never play bingo when I’m out detecting, much preferring to count on the audio to trump the TID numbers instead. Wherein, I’d rather dig some iron than risk losing the find of a lifetime just because the numbers don’t add up! Regarding never having too many machines. I’ve been a detectorist now for over 25 years, with the odd hiatus on and off bringing up my son as a single parent. When I was married, I always had to justify my hobby purchases with a million excuses. My ex always used to ask whether the latest and greatest detector was a new purchase. Obviously, I used to lie and say no. Even when my son’s eyes were wide-open hearing me tell his mum it wasn’t a different detector, as he was never fooled for a moment that it wasn’t new! Personally, I think the tests you carry out in the soil have much more validation than surface tests. Plus, if anything a test bed with same plane iron nails next to a non-ferrous target, elevated iron nails above a non-ferrous target would be a much fairer indication of which detector is better at identify non-ferrous targets amongst iron. When the XP Goldmaxx Power was first released, it was a game changer for hunting in heavily iron infested sites. The same goes for the Deus and now the Deus II. It’s the testing in the ground that counts nothing else. Those tests above ground are mere parlour tricks, unless the result is also duplicated in different soil types too. I think its good that the detector manufacturers are in serious competition with each other and having to sell their detecting tech at a much lower price, as everyone loves a bargain!

@@anthonywestwood8489 lol I can relate to dumbing down detector purchases, luckily my wife enjoys the hobby but hardly gets out.. but I have to be careful where the pennies go! And I agree, if it sounds good dig it, the 7 and 8’s on the D2 are the same.. I would dig a sweet tone. It’s all part of learning the machine and racking up the hours to understand what it’s telling you as most of the time I can always guess iron which I don’t mind digging a lot of the ti as I’ve had some cracking iron finds like cannon balls etc, the minelabs were always good for letting in interesting iron or too big they can’t deal with it. I did mess up slightly in this videos test as I left the manticores iron volume on 25 where on 3 it doesn’t dominate the non ferrous tone so much, it’s a strange one how it reacts to freshly buried targets for sure so I need to get my head round why it loves to iron buzz everything? Thanks😊

ID on both machines not so good. Lower the ferrous on the upper and lower on the manticore and it will sound amazing on any iffy signal. Even though you are in all metal horseshoe off it will still iron grunt. I run a program at upper 0 lower 0. Try it sometime if ya don't mind digging it all.

Thanks @@X-Marks_the_spot Yes i can hit everything in my test garden with the ferrous limts on 0 but you can never hunt like that as you would dig everything, definitely need to look at a more open ferrous limit program which is right on the edge of letting in more iron but unmasking the the good stuff. I have tried to hunt with ferrous limits at 0 and look at the screen but i was constantly pulling ferrous targets up, would work on a hot stop though for sure! Cheers and good luck😊

I’ve been suprised a few times where I’ve gone back on a target and it’s non ferrous.

The deus 2 doesn’t have that problem but I find the manticore a bit stronger on stopping you on the deep stuff👍
