Vanquish 540

I've been using this detector for 2 months now and I'm completely happy with it. I bought the Pro Pack which came with 2 coils(8" & 12"), Bluetooth Headphones, a rain cover for the brain, and a velcro wrist strap. It has MultiIQ, which allows the detector to scan multiple frequencies simultaniously; 5, 10, 15, 20 & 40kHz! It also has a pinpointer feature to narrow the location of your targets. You can also discriminate out things that you want to avoid hearing. There are so many features that you won't find on other detectors at this price. Compare the features with other detectors and you'll see what I mean! I've posted a few of my finds from the last couple months. Good Luck with your selection, and happy hunting!

What would have been a $2,000 survey job looking for metal survey stakes from a prior survey, cost what the minelab vanquish 540 cost. Within a hour of tinkering with the settings . She found the 3 stakes we couldn't locate approximately 3 inches under ground. The metal detector saved alot of money. Now when I retire I have a nice metal detector to play with.

It seems to squawk a lot and dose not pickup fine gold like I expected, I was told may need firmware update but just bought brand new in box

I bought this as a step up from my Garrett Ace 300 and Nokta Simplex+. The Simplex+ is okay, but I like it because it is 100% water proof and inexpensive, the Ace 300 does pretty good...it finds stuff. This is another level above both though. I took it out and found quite a few more coins than I normally do with either of the other detectors and the batteries were only about 1/3 drained after about 6 hours. It is light weight and work very well. Australian consumer protection laws make for a very good quality and warranty, do yourself a favor and buy one!

Got this yesterday and air tested it. Which the 12” coil it would not detect a dime or a quarter no matter how close to the coil. With the 8” coil it was ok. Did some research on line and communicated with a man on redditt that had the same problem. He posted a video. Must be a bad batch of 540s or a bad batch of coils. Called Minelab service, left a message but got no call back. Sent it back to Amazon. If this is typical Minelab quality and service I am very disappointed.

This detector has obviously been designed to compete with the intro level detectors like the Garrett Ace machines. I have owned an Ace 250 for years. I found the Vanquish 540 to run quiter and ID targets more accurately and deeper than my 250. The Noise cancelling on the 540 is amazing. It runs very quiet on salt water beaches. I have to turn the sensitivity way down on my 250 to make it usable in salty wet sand. I have found coins as deep as 8 inches in wet beach sand with the 540. I can't get close to that with my 250. The only thing that would be nice to have on the 540 is the ability to use the individual single frequencies like I can on my Equinox.

Very well built works great. Lots of adjustments to filter out trash

Not impressed. To me it is just the same as the Ace series. Only a few differences, not enough to account for the price.

Un super détecteur à prix abordable. Voir youtube…

Can't wait to travel Australia with it, is light and easy to handle

Don't know a ton about metal detecting as it's been awhile. I wanted one due to living in a history Rich area and being a person who loves finds of the past. It's a bit of a learning curve for tones being what's what. But very simple functions. Has rain cover for the control to protect from the elements. Was easy to set up out the box. Can tune out the junk etc. So far happy with the purchase

J’aime beaucoup, ça marche très bien

Alles bestens, gerne wieder
