Description
The Minelab Manticore Value Bundle with Backpack and M9 Coil turns the flagship Minelab Manticore metal detector into a two-coil system from day one. Alongside the standard M11 coil you get the Minelab M9 9-inch Double-D coil for tighter, trashier ground, plus the official Minelab backpack to carry both coils and the rest of your kit. It saves you $149 versus buying the coil and the pack on their own. Both coils drive the same flagship platform: 10 customizable search modes (5 All-Terrain, 4 Beach, 1 Goldfield), improved for free by Minelab's 2.0 software update with its Stabiliser setting and Enhanced Goldfield mode.

Why Add the M9 Coil
A second coil is the single biggest way to expand what one detector can do. The M9's smaller 9-inch round Double-D footprint gives you sharper target separation and unmasking in iron-littered, high-trash ground and tight spots like old foundations, fence lines, and brushy permissions, while staying impressively deep for its size. Pair it with the stock M11 for open ground and you can match the coil to the site instead of forcing one coil to do everything. The M9 is fully waterproof and submersible, so it is at home on land, beach, or in the shallows.
- Adds the M9 9-inch Double-D coil to the standard M11 for a true two-coil setup
- Tighter footprint for separation and unmasking in heavy trash and tight ground
- Strong depth for its size, with a fully waterproof submersible build
- Official Minelab backpack to carry both coils and your gear
Who This Bundle Is For
This bundle fits hunters who work trashy, iron-heavy, or tight sites and want coil options without paying full retail for the M9 later. If your ground is old and cluttered, the M9 is often the coil that pulls keepers the stock coil walks right over.
The Detector at the Core: Minelab Manticore
Driving this bundle is the standard Minelab Manticore, the brand's flagship Multi-IQ+ machine, with high transmit power, the live two-dimensional Target ID map, Target Trace, and IP68 waterproofing to 16 feet. This bundle ships with the complete factory Manticore kit. The full specification sheet, search modes, and the Manticore versus XP Deus II comparison live on the standard Minelab Manticore listing.

Bundle FAQ
Which coils do I get?
Both the stock M11 11-inch coil and the M9 9-inch coil, so you can switch between open-ground coverage and tight, trashy-site separation.
When should I use the M9 instead of the M11?
Reach for the M9 in heavy trash, around iron, and in tight spots where separation matters. Use the M11 for general hunting and open ground where you want maximum coverage.
Is the M9 coil waterproof?
Yes. It is fully waterproof and submersible, so it works on land, on the beach, and in the shallows.
How is this different from the Pro Pack or Ultimate bundle?
The Pro Pack adds a pinpointer instead of a coil. The Ultimate Field Bundle includes both the M9 coil and the pinpointer.

See it in the field
The Manticore at the heart of this bundle appears in History Seekers hunts on YouTube and Facebook, where over 1.1 million followers watch us dig relics, coins, and gold across the Southeast and beyond. We rotate machines depending on the site and the ground conditions, so it shows up across many hunts rather than one dedicated video. Every find you see was made with gear we sell and use ourselves.
One more thing worth knowing about who you are buying from. History Seekers is a small American business, not a big box retailer where nobody on staff has ever swung a detector, and not a warehouse that just moves boxes. Everyone here detects, from the top down: gold, relics, coins, jewelry, even float copper. Years of field experience before hire is not a coincidence, it is a requirement. The person who answers your questions may be the same one who packs your order and drives it to the UPS drop-off, and every purchase keeps everyday Americans working.
The story is more important than the artifact.
