Minelab Manticore

Detect deeper. Identify better. Recover faster.

High Power Multi-IQ+

Multi-IQ+ is the newest generation Simultaneous Multi-Frequency engine from Minelab, building on the success of the original Multi-IQ. Multi-IQ+ transmits more power through the coil at a wider frequency range, to light up more targets in the ground. The completely revamped signal processing, provides enhanced discrimination, greater Target ID resolution, improved target separation, and gives you a greater ability to tune discrimination and audio to suit your detecting conditions.

Fast Response

MANTICORE’s adjustable recovery speed, ranging from 0 to 8, lets you fine-tune how quickly the detector responds to consecutive targets. Increase the speed to separate closely spaced targets in trash-heavy ground, or slow it down to enhance detection depth on isolated finds.

 Powerful 2D ID Map

MANTICORE’s 2D ID Map is a powerful visual tool that displays both the ferrous and conductive characteristics of a detected target. This dual-axis display helps you quickly determine whether a target is worth digging, enabling smarter decision-making in the field. With detailed classification, custom discrimination patterns and precise audio control, you can accept or reject targets with confidence. The system allows you to assign tones, adjust volume across five tone regions and receive clear, reliable audio responses tailored to your preference. This level of control leads to faster recoveries, fewer unwanted digs and more time spent on valuable finds.

10 Custom Search Modes

MANTICORE offers 10 custom search modes, giving you the flexibility to adapt to a wide range of detecting environments. These are grouped into five All-Terrain modes, four Beach modes and one Goldfield mode. Each mode is a dedicated search profile tailored to specific conditions, such as high-trash areas, low-conductor targets or mineralised ground. You can personalise discrimination, audio, recovery speed and more, creating a setup that matches how and where you detect.

Enhanced Discrimination

With custom Ferrous Limits, you gain advanced control over target discrimination. Accept valuable ferrous coins, reject unwanted iron or optimise unmasking in complex ground. Combined with improved Target ID stability and precise target separation, MANTICORE delivers accuracy where it counts.

Audio Your Way

MANTICORE puts you in control of your audio experience. Adjust target tones from 1, 2 or 5-tone options, or select 1, 2 or 5-region All Tones to suit your preferences. Suppress unwanted EMI chatter and take advantage of Continuous Pitch (VCO) audio with ferrous response and a true threshold detection tone. These advanced audio settings help you interpret signals more precisely and detect with greater confidence.

WIRELESS AUDIO

Clearly detect with audio controls set specifically for you in order to identify targets confidently, reduce noise and identify trash.

UNRIVALLED CONSTRUCTION & WATERPROOF

Powerful yet lightweight, Manticore weighs only 1.3 kg (2.9 lbs.) and includes a three-piece, compact Carbon-Fibre shaft system. Waterproof up to 16 ft (5 m).

INTUITIVE CONTROL

The large LCD panel allows for easy viewing and clear navigation control.

BOOSTED EMI IMMUNITY

 In challenging environments, improved EMI rejection uses higher sensitivity to isolate targets.

COIL

Comes with the M11 (11" Round Double-D coil)

LIGHTING & VIBRATION

 Detect even when the sun goes down with features such as Control Box Flashlight, Display Backlight with Auto Adjust, Backlit Keypad and Handgrip Vibration.

CLEAR AUDIO

 Built in external speaker allows for crystal-clear audio and comes with Low Latency Wireless Headphones.

BUILT TO LAST

A three-year warranty with software upgrade capability allows detection far into the future.
