Minelab MANTICORE Metal Detector

Detect Deeper. Identify Better. Recover Faster.

More power. More information. More control over every signal.

The Minelab MANTICORE represents a major step forward in metal detecting technology. Built around Minelab's advanced Multi-IQ+ simultaneous multi-frequency engine, the MANTICORE delivers exceptional detecting performance with the ability to identify targets more precisely and respond quickly in challenging ground conditions.

Whether you're hunting old coins and relics, searching beaches for jewelry, exploring historical sites, or looking for gold, the MANTICORE gives you the technology and control to make the most of every hunt.

This is a detector built for people who want more information from their machine and more confidence when deciding what to dig.

Multi-IQ+ Technology – More Power, More Performance

At the heart of the MANTICORE is Minelab's next-generation Multi-IQ+ technology.

Operating across multiple frequencies simultaneously, Multi-IQ+ delivers up to 50% more power than the EQUINOX series, according to Minelab. It gives you outstanding versatility when searching for different types of metal targets and working in changing ground conditions.

You can also select individual operating frequencies of 5, 10, 15, 20, or 40 kHz when you want more control over your detecting setup.

2D Target ID Map – See More of What You're Finding

One of the most impressive features of the MANTICORE is its full-color 2D ID Map.

Instead of relying on a single Target ID number, the display provides both conductive and ferrous information about a detected target. This gives you another layer of information to help distinguish desirable targets from unwanted iron and trash.

The Target Trace feature helps you visualize target responses, while customizable discrimination lets you tailor the detector to your hunting preferences.

More information at your fingertips means better decisions in the field.

Fast Target Response – Built for Challenging Ground

Not every detecting location is clean and easy.

Old parks, historic properties, and heavily hunted areas can contain multiple targets close together. The MANTICORE offers adjustable recovery speeds from 0 to 8, allowing you to fine-tune how quickly the detector responds to closely spaced targets.

Increase recovery speed when working through trashy areas where target separation matters. Slow it down when searching for deeper, more isolated targets.

Ten Search Profiles for Different Hunting Conditions

The MANTICORE includes three main detecting environments with customizable search profiles:

ALL-TERRAIN – 5 Profiles

• General

• Fast

• Low Conductors

• High Conductors

• Trash Reject

BEACH – 4 Profiles

• General

• Low Conductors

• Deep

• Surf & Seawater

GOLDFIELD – 1 Profile

• General

Whether you're searching parks, fields, saltwater beaches, or gold-bearing ground, you have specialized settings to help adapt your detector to the conditions.

Gold Prospecting Capabilities

The dedicated Goldfield mode gives the MANTICORE another dimension beyond traditional coin and relic hunting.

Individual operating frequencies, adjustable ground balance, sensitivity settings, and customizable audio provide useful control when exploring gold-bearing areas.

For prospectors who also enjoy coin shooting, relic hunting, and beach detecting, the MANTICORE is a versatile machine that can cover several types of detecting without needing a separate detector for every hobby.

Advanced Audio – Hear the Difference

The MANTICORE gives you extensive control over how targets sound.

Choose from multiple tone options and audio themes to suit your preferences. Adjust target volume, pitch, ferrous response, and threshold settings to help interpret signals.

Additional features include:

• Continuous Pitch (VCO) audio

• Ferrous response

• Adjustable threshold tone

• Customizable target tones

• Low-latency wireless audio

You can configure the sound of your detector to match the way you like to hunt.

Waterproof, Lightweight & Ready to Explore

The MANTICORE is IP68 rated and waterproof to 5 meters (16 feet), making it suitable for underwater detecting as well as beaches, streams, and wet conditions.

Its three-piece carbon-fiber shaft collapses to approximately 24.8 inches, making it convenient to transport and store.

Additional comfort and convenience features include:

• Full-color LCD display

• Adjustable display and keypad backlighting

• Built-in flashlight

• Handgrip vibration

• Adjustable armrest

• Rechargeable lithium-ion battery

• Software upgradeable through USB
