The Minelab Manticore adds a 2D target ID display to the Multi-IQ+ platform - plotting targets on both ferrous and conductive axes simultaneously rather than a single number. This gives meaningfully better dig decisions on iron-heavy relic sites where good targets sit in dense iron trash. The Manticore also offers more audio channel customization and improved depth on deep targets in some conditions. For beach detecting and general land use, the Equinox 800 performs the job at lower cost. The Manticore earns its premium specifically for iron-heavy relic hunting. See Minelab Equinox comparison.
