Both compete at similar prices and are the two machines most experienced hunters compare at this level. The Minelab Manticore leads in 2D iron-site discrimination - the definitive advantage on dense-iron relic ground. The XP DEUS II leads in wireless audio with the WS6 Master headphones, 65-foot waterproofing for dive detecting, and the ergonomics of a fully cable-free system. Most hunters who choose the Manticore hunt iron-heavy relic sites. Most who choose the DEUS II prioritize wireless performance or dive capability. See XP DEUS II.
