What Fits the Minelab Manticore: M-Series Coils, Audio & Accessories
The short answer: the Minelab Manticore runs the M-series smart coils (M8, M9, the included M11, and M15) plus Coiltek's 18 in / 46 cm Mythtek, pairs with the included ML 105 wireless headphones and the ML 85 and WM 09 as alternatives, and has its own dedicated battery, carbon fiber lower shaft, and armrest parts. Everything on this page fits the Manticore, every link is a product we stock, and if you are unsure, call 256-284-2247 and ask.
The one mistake to avoid: Equinox EQX coils, X-Terra V-series coils, and Coiltek NOX coils do NOT fit the Manticore. The Manticore uses its own M-series coil connection: M8, M9, M11, M15, and the Coiltek Mythtek only.

Digging and recovery
Digging gear is not brand-specific; these are the tools we match to the ground a Manticore usually hunts:
- CKG carbon fiber detecting shovel: serrated blade for relic permissions and old homesites.
- CKG digging tool with belt sheath: the park-friendly hand digger.
- CKG Pro 11x9 stainless sand scoop: wet-sand and surf recovery.
- CKG Universal 12x5 lightweight sand scoop: easier swinging on long beach days.
