Minelab Manticore Metal Detector with M15 and M8 Coils

Thank you for having great team members like Drew he was very helpful. I was also happy I was able to track my packages along it's way.

Got mine last Friday and had it out several times already. Great machine and fast shipping.

I was on the fence for a long time about the thought of upgrading, since I already had an Equinox 800 with every available accessory. The staff at High Plains is extremely knowledgeable and took the time to answer all of my questions over the phone and through many emails. They were able to put together an amazing deal on the Manticore and several coils and accessories that I could not pass up. It felt like Christmas when that giant box was delivered! The Manticore is finding deeper and older targets on sites I thought I had cleaned out with my Equinox. This machine is a game changer! Thanks HPP!

So I got my . Manticore a couple weeks ago . After a very long wait . All due to minelab roll out being under supported .. high plains kept me informed weekly and was very supportive. The actual machine came and as of now have hunted with it about 4 times . And am very impressed . Hunting in areas already dug before I have found many things I missed. It takes a bit getting used to and is very sensitive . I would rate the detector a 10/10 on function. 7/10 on ease of use .
High plains gets 12/10 on customer service.
Minelab gets 4/10 on customer service . Due to receiving no call back from them when trying to get info
Overall I am very happy with my purchase .
It is definitely a machine for a more invested or professional detectorist.

Minelab Manticore High Power Metal Detector with Free Gear

Jan used it in the water and loved it.

First of all High Plains Prospectors is the best place to purchase anything including this metal detector! I'm replacing a 28 year old Whites Spectrum XLT with the Manticore. While the settings was a little intimidating at first, they are easy to learn and adjustments are simply done on the fly in the field. The high and low conductors are easily distinguished with separate High and low pitch tones, and the 2D display provides excellent visual information to help in the decision process of whether or not to dig the target confidently. All this audio and visual information makes the Manticore an Awesome Highly adjustable Metal Detector. I'm glad I bought this detector, it is truly Outstanding!

Got the manticore as scheduled in perfect condition and all the free stuff is great.

The Manticore is much more technical than my Vanquish 440. Even though I get agitated a bit from the constant chatter, I know its part of the learning curve of operating a performance enhanced machine. I'm impressed how much deeper it reaches than the 440. Plenty of videos to help me learn and get better. No regret in this purchase either. Thank you High Plains!!

After years of exciting metal detector adventures, and finding some really neat artifacts, it’s time to pass the excitement, stories, and love of treasure hunting on to my daughter. It is also time to retire my old favorite CXT3030 detector for a state of the art new machine, a Minelab Manticore. High Plains Prospectors made it all possible. They took in my old machine as a trade and made me a fair deal. Now my daughter has a powerful machine that she can basically use right out of the box.. I hope she enjoys metal detecting as much as as I have! There is nothing better than the feeling of returning something like a ring or necklace to an owner that felt they lost a piece of their life. The hug you get is priceless! Thanks High Plains Prospectors for keeping my dream alive!

Minelab Manticore High Power Metal Detector

It works great and does everything my Equinox 600 does but a lot better and this one has more bells and whistles. Ticket is to learn the detector and then review.

I honestly think it is an excellent machine but it is so difficult to access the full potential of it without a hard copy of the owners manual, and for that reason I would hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

I had an outstanding experience with High Plains Prospectors and their team, particularly Travis. The level of service and support provided was simply exceptional. Travis demonstrated impressive knowledge and expertise, answering all of my questions with clarity and patience. His guidance made the process smooth and stress-free, and his genuine willingness to help stood out.

Whether you are a beginner or an experienced prospector, I would highly recommend High Plains Prospectors. Their dedication to customer satisfaction and their wealth of expertise make them a reliable and trustworthy choice for anyone interested in metal detecting and prospecting.

Looking forward to using it this weekend on a seeded hunt in Georgia. If it's anything like the M11, I should rack up this weekend.

I am very pleased, price+ pkg. Deal from High Plains Prospectors, thanks for the savings! Performance of Manticore has been outstanding for almost two months now since purchase. Good times in Iowa!

I've only started metal detecting a little over a year ago. I bought a Minelab Vanquish 540 and watched lots of youtube videos to learn the ropes. I quickly discovered that is great to learn tips for sure but nothing beats getting your hands on a machine and putting the time in. After learning I love the hobby I decided to upgrade and after much research landed on making the investment and going for one of the best machines on the market. I've been experimenting around the yard testing items, learning tones, and have realized the manticore will be finding things other machines left behind. The target separation is amazing and the machine can do anything you want. The 2D screen is also a game changer. I've got a ton to learn and will need time to adjust from the Vanquish VDI scale but this machine is again AMAZING!
Also the High Plains Prospector team was the best to work with, will be coming back for my future needs!

Tried my new Manticore with the settings right out of the box at a spot that I’ve detected several times . This machine discriminates much better than my CTX3030 and is so much lighter. I’ve found 5 silvers in two outings at old detection sights. I’m very satisfied with this machine.

Travis and Drew were super helpful pre and post-sale.

The Manticore was never on my radar, but when the sale started, I would have been crazy not to. So I added it to my 540, 900, and Elite. Glad I did. I will not buy from anyone else. These guys are so easy to work with and will steer you in the right direction.

Coming from the Nox 800 it hasn't been too much of a pain to learn. Not as bad as it was going from the AT Pro to the Nox. After 5 years or more with the 800 I had it dialed in to where it was impossible to be fooled by iron of any kind. Granted that was WITHOUT the update that had the new F1 feature. That ruined the machine in my opinion. Had over 1000 hours on it before I tried that update and it was indeed garbage. Now with the Manticore I see I have so much more to learn. More features, more to learn. The 15 inch coil isn't as bad as I thought it would be to swing. I swung it for 3 hours straight the other day before switching to the M9 coil and it wasn't that bad at all. That's all I have for now.

My Manticore metal detector with two free coils by Minelab arrived promptly. I ordered two, one for myself and one for my detecting buddy. The folks at High Plains packed our equipment with care and shipped it out so that it arrived in time for us to use them that weekend. The machine is a beast! A real game changer over my previous detector. We couldn’t be happier.

Found so much change already some solid silver. And I’m just starting out !! The manticore is really easy to use I’m picking up 10” and better deep and accurate and using it right out of the box can’t wait till I learn the settings
I’m impressed !!

Manticore is finding treasure.

Received my new coil within two days of placing the order. As always, would recommend High Plains to my fellow detectorists out there! Prices are fair and the staff is very friendly and helpful.

High Plains Prospectors was great to do business with. I like the weight and feel of the Manticore. The Quality of the Manticore is great and pro find 40 pin pointer works fantastic. Rechargeable battery on the Manticore and head set, the Pro-Find 40 Pin pointer takes a battery, overall perfect meatal detector for the beginner. The operating and assembly was very straight forward. So far very impressed takes a little practice to get use to the Manticore and to get it dialed in. I purchased the, Minelab Manticore Metal Detector, Pro-Find 40 Pin pointer with 15" M15 Coil, 8" M8 Coil, and gear also purchased the 9" m9 coil as well. You tube has some awesome videos for setting up to get up and running quick. Charge the battery's up before first use, then download the update software from Minelab website.

Fantastic machine from a fantastic seller. Definitely give High Plains Prospectors a chance with your next metal detecting purchase. Excellent prices, fast delivery, double boxed my detector for extra protection. All around a pleasure to work with. I will definitely use them again. Thanks High Plains Prospectors AAA +++ job
