High-Power Multi-IQ Plus Detector

The Minelab Manticore 3228-0200 is a waterproof metal detector built around Multi-IQ+ simultaneous multi-frequency technology. It ships with an 11-inch Double-D coil and offers 10 search modes covering all-terrain, beach and goldfield conditions. The unit folds from 56.7 inches down to 24.8 inches for transport and weighs 7.1 pounds. An LCD display and rich audio options provide 2D target identification.

All-Terrain Treasure Hunters

This detector suits adults who want a single machine for parks, fields, wet sand and shallow water up to 16 feet deep. The adjustable shaft and lightweight frame support long sessions without fatigue. Buyers who need a dedicated gold-only machine or a smaller coil for heavy trash sites should look at other models.

IP68 Waterproof to 16 Feet

The IP68 rating means the control box and coil can be fully submerged to 16 feet in fresh or salt water. This single specification decides whether the detector matches your hunting environment. If you never search underwater, the same technology is available in less rugged models.

Questions about this item

Will the 11-inch DD coil or the lithium-ion battery pack need periodic replacement?

The 11-inch Double-D coil is included and built for continuous use; the internal lithium-ion battery is rechargeable and not user-replaceable.

What limits detection depth during a long hunt — the 12 kHz operating frequency or the IP68 sealing?

Depth is governed by the 12 kHz multi-frequency engine and ground conditions; the IP68 rating only guarantees waterproofing to 16 ft.

How much heat or fan noise does the detector produce when run all day on the 7.1 lb frame?

The unit has no active cooling fan; it runs silently and stays cool because the electronics draw very little power from the battery.
