Minelab Manticore Target ID List 2023
If you’re swinging a Minelab Manticore and want to know what you’ve just hit before you dig, this compiled Target ID (TID) list can help you quickly identify coins, relics, and treasures in the field.
This list is based on real-world hunts, and I’ll keep adding to it as more finds come in. If you have your own Manticore TID numbers to add, drop them in the comments below and I’ll update the list so we can all benefit.
