Deeper. Precise identification.
MANTICORE™ with Multi-IQ+™ is the fastest, most powerful, and most precise detector Minelab has ever built. Its next-generation simultaneous multi-frequency engine is rated to deliver up to 50% more power than the EQUINOX™ series. This performance leap is paired with advanced 2D Target ID and rich audio controls, helping you detect faster, identify targets more accurately, and search difficult ground with greater confidence.
Feature
The MANTICORE 2D Target ID Map displays ferrous content and conductivity together for faster identification and fewer unnecessary holes.
Advanced 2D Target ID Map
MANTICORE offers highly flexible audio (tone/region + VCO, ferrous & threshold) for more accurate signal interpretation—ideal for those who rely on "audio language."
Audio tailored to your style
Recovery Speed 0–8: fast for "trashy" areas, slow for deeper targets—giving you maximum control in any location.
Fast Target Response
IP68 waterproof to 5 m, with a compact three-piece carbon-fibre shaft, a low weight of approximately 1.3 kg, and a folded length of 63 cm—practical for detecting on land or underwater.
Unrivaled construction
High-Power Multi-IQ+
Multi-IQ+ is the latest generation of Minelab’s Simultaneous Multi-Frequency engine, an evolution of the original Multi-IQ. This technology delivers more power to the coil across a wider frequency range, allowing more targets to be "lifted" from the ground. Signal processing has been completely revamped to provide superior discrimination, higher Target ID resolution, and cleaner target separation. You also gain greater flexibility to customize discrimination and audio settings based on site conditions. It helps you locate coins, jewelry, and relics with clearer readings—perfect for those seeking maximum performance and detailed control during every hunt.
Advanced 2D Target ID Map
The MANTICORE 2D Target ID Map displays two target characteristics at once: ferrous content and conductivity. This dual-axis display helps you decide more quickly whether a target is worth digging. Detailed classification, customizable discrimination patterns, and clear target traces make identification more intuitive in difficult ground and iron-contaminated sites. Combined with MANTICORE’s rapid response, the display helps separate valuable targets from nearby unwanted metal and reduces unnecessary digging.
Fast Response
MANTICORE’s Recovery Speed is adjustable from 0–8, controlling how quickly the device responds to consecutive targets. Increase the speed to separate closely spaced targets in trashy areas, or decrease it to help detect isolated, deep targets. Ideal for those who want to fine-tune settings to match specific site conditions....
Enhanced Discrimination
With custom Ferrous Limits, you gain finer control over discrimination: accept valuable ferrous coins, reject unwanted iron, or optimize target unmasking in complex soil conditions. Combined with stable Target ID and precise target separation, MANTICORE delivers accuracy when it matters most. Perfect for hunting in "busy" areas where you want to minimize unnecessary digging.
Other Features
Wireless Audio
ML 105 wireless headphones provide hands-free audio for more convenient detection. If you prefer using a cable, a 3.5 mm (1/8") audio jack is also available. Ideal for those who want flexibility between wireless and wired options.
Software upgradeable
Update the software through the USB connection to access official feature and performance improvements. Ideal for users who want their detector to stay up to date.
10 Custom Search Modes
MANTICORE features 10 customizable modes (All-Terrain, Beach, Goldfield) that you can adjust—from discrimination and audio to recovery speed—to suit your hunting location.
Unrivaled construction
The MANTICORE is IP68-rated and submersible up to 5 meters. Its lightweight, 3-piece carbon fiber shaft weighs just 1.3 kg and collapses to 63 cm for easy portability and all-day comfort. The full-color LCD screen remains clear, featuring 10 backlight levels and an auto-adjust function.
