Whites MXT, Minelab Excalibur, Minelab Manticore
Primary Interest:

I took the Manticore for a test hunt at a c.1790-1865 homestead that I have hunted a few times over the years. Lots of nails but managed to pull a small button among the nails and off to the side of the hole was this ginger beer stoneware bottle from G. Lathrop c.1860. I'm finding the Manticore is very good at pulling the smallest of items. The buttons found today are smaller than dimes and were at 6in. Going back tomorrow one more time for this season , good luck and happy hunting everybody! Long video of this recovery as well as others on the way!
