About this deal

Typically, 12 kHz is not an ideal frequency for hunting in wet sand or saltwater environments. Saltwater is highly conductive and can cause VLF machines to overload and give false Target IDs.

Offering 3 pre-set detecting modes plus pin-point and all metal modes the Vanquish 540 will take your detecting to the next level. It is a good idea to always have a pinpointer on hand to detect depth and exact location. Pinpointing always minimizes digging time, especially if you are unsure that the Vanquish 540’s pinpoint mode is not giving you accuracy. The 440 is the second model of the series, pretty similar to the 340, yet it has some additional useful features that you can utilize for your own benefit to come up with more finds …Tesoro Silver Sabre microMAX w/6" Concentric coil which I grab when setting out for a day of hitting tot-lots and similar places. Another Simplex + just waiting for a smaller-size search coils (especially hoping for a 5" DD) at which time it will be come a 'regular-carry' set-up.

I am almost sure that the Vanquish models are a direct competitor of the Ace series … and if people pay attention well, it is obvious that the Minelab models offer far more interesting stuff! Garrett people should probably think and consider that! Minelab VANQUISH series vs EQUINOX SeriesI see that Minelab and … Nokta got the idea. Right, this is Nokta Simplex that I consider as a main rival to these devices. Especially, for beach hunting fans.

The Vanquish 540 is the only model in the line with rechargeable AA batteries. This model is very lightweight, at just 2.9 pounds. This means it is easy to use for long periods of time without arm fatigue. The Vanquish 540 comes standard with a V12 12” by 9” waterproof Double-D search coil, but all the Vanquish series have interchangeable search coils. And I feel that the company needs more time to develop something new to overwhelm the market with and releasing this series of detectors will allow them to gain at least 2 to 3 years to release something new from a technological stand-point! While the search coil is waterproof, the control box is only water resistant and should not be submerged. This model also has Bluetooth connectivity so wireless headphones can be used as well as wired headphones, or the external speaker. Technical Reason: Before if you wanted to have a Minelab multi-frequency machine with Iron Bias feature you had to acquire an Equinox model which is not affordable by everybody! That’s why you shouldn’t combine batteries of different types in one metal detector. Also, it’s not worth using old batteries and new ones together. The process of the battery charging and discharging should be done at least 5-10 times. In general, it is good for NiMh batteries when they get charged and discharge completely.

These metal detectors offer some amazing features, especially for the price point. Each detector in this line is easy enough for a new detectorist to use. The Vanquish 540 is easy to use for beginners but has enough features to make intermediate detectorists happy. All the Vanquish Series detectors operate on three frequencies, low, medium and high simultaneously, giving you the best of all worlds whatever you are searching for! Metal detector Minelab Vanquish 340, Vanquish 440, and Vanquish 540 have had their first firmware update. As the developers say, VANQUISH 540 has become more effective. A new setting, Iron Volume Control, was introduced. It will allow controlling the iron volume you’d like to hear and make trashy and mineralized soil easier for metal detecting. More treasure, less trash. Adjustable Iron Bias control lets you switch between High (default) and Low. Overall, the detector did what it was supposed to do: find treasure. Here are some items found in and around an old abandoned house:
