    I had the opportunity to detect with both the 900 and the Manticore before deciding to purchase the 900. The first day out with it I found two silver rings in a hammered park and decided to take it to another one that had produced old silver in the past. To my amazement the third target it was able to pick out of the trash was an early type 2 SLQ. I bought it for the waterproofing, since I hunt in the water of fresh water lakes.

    I just bought the 900 while on vacation in Myrtle Beach. I'm still waiting for my Manticore from @KellyCO, which I ordered more than five months ago! I'm not sure what the hold up is at this point because Dentons Metal Detectors in Little River, SC, had two Manticores on his shelves. I guess KellyCO is just handling more volume. Anyway, I was so impressed with the fit and finish over the Equinox 800! I would love to understand how going from 40 positive VDI numbers to 99 is helping me identify my target better. It's just one more thing to learn. Thanks for the overview of the 900. Cricket

    I bought my 900 from Outlaw Metal detecting and was extremely pleased with Dan and his customer service. The biggest issue I've had with 900, coming from 800 is the vdi scale. Gold on 800 could be from 1- 23/24. On the 900, I've done air tests on gold and the only halfway consistent numbers are 35 and 50, and they usually have a bouncy signal in a range of + or - of 5-10. I've dug pennies from 45-70. Pull tabs come in around 28-39, so I'm assuming that's also gold range.

    Yes, I'm always preaching to dig the tones rather than the vdi#s vdi will lie to you with any detector and cannot be relied on.

    Agree partially but an air test should not be jumpy? If the test is consistent the vdi should be consistent. + or - 1 or 2 but what he’s saying might be a problem. I had 2 xterra 705’s. The second one I bought was erratic like he’s describing and I had to send it in for warranty. Whatever they did fixed it.

    The 900 has to be better then the 800 just in the area of ergonomics and the upgraded lighter carbon fiber shaft. Its weight is distributed different to make it easier and balanced when swinging it. 😊

    It's hard to say, normally Gold will read on the lower scale but like I always say, you CANNOT depend on the VDI for accurate readings all the time. I depend moreso on tones. Try testing on other metals to see how they react.
