Minelab M15 15 x 12 inch DD Waterproof Coil for Manticore

The Minelab M15 is the 15 x 12 inch elliptical Double-D search coil for the Minelab Manticore. Part number 3011-0423. Minelab describes it as the coil for maximum depth and wide ground coverage in open spaces.

Who the M15 is for

The M15 suits Manticore owners who regularly search large open fields, expansive beaches or relatively clean ground where coverage matters. On a broad historical field where good targets may be widely separated, the M15 covers more ground per sweep and may give stronger responses from certain deeper targets.

How we use the M15

We fit the M15 when we move from a target-dense site into open ground, particularly when searching for larger or deeper coins and relics. A larger coil may meet more ground mineralization and electrical interference. If the detector becomes noisy, perform Noise Cancel and adjust sensitivity, without automatically increasing it.

The mistake we see most is treating the M15 as the answer for every deep target. In dense iron, its larger footprint makes nearby targets harder to isolate, and the M8 is the better fit there.
