I Switched to the NEW Minelab Manticore… (It’s Almost Unfair)
NEW Minelab Manticore UNLEASHED! INSANE Treasure Hunt + Ring Recovery + Teaching Kids to Metal Detect (GoPro POV)
These hunts were next level.
A ring recovery in the surf line that came in deep and faint—almost missed it. One careful scoop later, and the ring was in my hand on camera. Real-time recovery. No staging. Just the hunt.
I took out the brand new Minelab Manticore for its first serious beach test on the Gulf Coast of Florida—and it did NOT disappoint. From deep whispers in the sand to solid screaming targets, this machine proved why it’s one of the most advanced detectors on the planet.
What started as a fun coastal dig quickly turned into a full-blown treasure session. I recovered tons of lost items, coins, and relics, and even had the chance to teach a group of local kids how to metal detect, showing them how to listen for tones, read the beach, and dig their first real targets. Moments like that make these hunts even more special.
All of this was captured in GoPro POV + drone footage, showing the exact dig sites, beach conditions, and the excitement as targets came out of the sand.
