Target ID Number

TARGET ID NUMBER OVERVIEW

When a target is detected, the detector assigns a
Target Identification (Target ID) number to it based on
its conductive properties, and then classifies it as either
ferrous or non‑ferrous based on its ferrous properties�
The Target ID is displayed on the Detect Screen for five
seconds, or until another target is detected�
Target ID numbers range from 0 to 99� These numbers
correspond to the horizontal axis of the ID Map�
MANTICORE's Target ID technology gives consistent,
repeatable Target IDs, giving you a high chance of
predicting what you have found before you begin digging�
For example, a US quarter has a Target ID of 88� This
means that each time a Target with an ID of 88 is detected,
there is a good chance that it will be a US quarter�
88
20
Record the Target IDs of the objects you find�
Over time, you can use this information to
make your own Discrimination Pattern, making
detecting sessions more productive� See
Discrimination Pattern" on page

FERROUS TARGET IDS

When the Frequency is set to Multi‑IQ+, ferrous targets
are assigned a conductivity ID on the same 0 to 99 scale
as non‑ferrous targets� It is then classified as ferrous,
indicated by a low audio tone and accompanying red
Ferrous Indicator beneath the Target ID number� By having
separate ferrous indication, a greater Target ID resolution
for ferrous targets can be achieved, which is more useful
for relic hunting� It also has the benefit that targets
located on the Ferrous Limits boundary have more stable
Target IDs, so you can easily identify it as a single target

with uncertain ferrous/non‑ferrous properties, as opposed
to multiple separate ferrous and non‑ferrous targets in
close proximity�
The exception to this is in Single Frequency, where Ferrous
Targets are given a Target ID on a scale of 1 to 19 with
ferrous indication, based on the ferrous properties of
the target� This is because single frequencies cannot
accurately determine the conductive properties of a
ferrous target�

TARGET ID TYPES

Target ID
64
The Target ID number indicates how conductive
the detected target is�
Target ID with Ferrous Indication
64
The Ferrous Indicator is displayed when the
target has been classified as ferrous�
The Ferrous Indicator only appears when
All Metal mode is enabled�
Salt Indication
00
A Target ID of '00' and the Salt indicator
are displayed if using the Beach Modes in
extremely salty conditions�
The Salt indicator only appears when All Metal
mode is enabled�
No ID
--
The Target ID shows two large dashes when
there is no detection, or a weak detection
where an accurate ID number cannot be
determined� They also appear for targets
within the grey areas of the Discrimination
Pattern or Ferrous Limits�
