Another important thing to keep in mind is that – and Minelab haven’t even tries to conceal this fact! – the main purpose of this new series is to eventually bury the Garrett Ace metal detectors, the main favourite and one of the most popular series in the beginner segment on the market since the time of dinosaurs – since 2005, to be more precise. A: Yes! Because they are multiple frequency, they can help themselves mitigate the effects of wet sand and saltwater. Single frequency metal detectors struggle in saltwater because of its conductivity. The range of frequencies these models operate on also help you find lost jewelry and coins at the beach. 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. What really sets the Vanquish 440 apart from other entry level metal detectors is the Multi-IQ technology. The Equinox 600 and 800 have the same Multi-IQ technology, but at a hugely increased price. The Simplex+ is a great model too, but only has a single frequency.

The very first thing to understand about Vanquish detectors is that this series was created for beginner level hunters. Yeah, the machines are equipped with multi-frequency technology, because Minelab made them cool, but they are still targeted at newbies. Probably the most exciting feature of the Vanquish Series, which puts it way ahead of others in its price range (and above), Probably the most exciting feature of the Vanquish Series, which puts it way ahead of others in its price range (and above), is the inclusion of Minelab's unique Multi-IQ Simultaneous Multi-Frequency Technology, as seen in the Equinox Series which made it a real game changer in the metal detecting world and by far the best selling metal detector in 2018, 2019 and probably all-time to date. Note of appreciation: I want to thank Kellyco Metal Detectors for providing the Vanquish 440 for me to evaluate as well as my hunting buddy and good friend Gary Bronga (pictured right) for his valued contribution to this report.

New Interesting Features of Minelab Vanquish

A: Depth can vary based on many factors like soil conditions, angle of the target, type of target, and sensitivity settings. The Vanquish 440 has been tested to read up to 12,” but the signal was weak, and no target ID was presented. This information was gathered using the standard V10 search coil that comes with the 440.

And for afters, let’s dissect Vanquish 540, the most sophisticated model of the three in this series. The Minelab Vanquish 340 is the lowest priced of the Vanquish line. It also has fewer features than the 440. The 340 has the same Multi-IQ technology but has only 5 segments of discrimination, while the 440 has 12. Both come with the same V10 search coil and have the same weight of 2.6 pounds. The 340 only has 3 search modes: Coin, Jewelry, and All Metal. Relic and Custom modes are not available on this model.

Protože díky revoluční technologii Multi-IQ máte kombinovanou sílu více detektorů v jednom - všechny pracovní frekvence detektoru běží současně. Přitom nic nenastavujete, prostě detektor zapnete a jdete. The Minelab Story: With over 25 years of excellence, Minelab continually delivers the World's Best Metal Detection Technologies, creating premium quality products for your greatest detecting advantage. Minelab's superior technology was initially conceived through the inventive genius of physicist Bruce Candy. His quest to improve metal detector capabilities has resulted in more patents for new metal detection technologies over the past 25 years than any of Minelab's competitors. Strongly focused on research and development , Minelab has the largest engineering team in the metal detection industry with more than 30 scientist, engineers and technicians committed to producing the next generation of detectors. Whatever your lifestyle, Minelab superior performance metal detectors deliver the most exciting treasure hunting and gold prospecting discoveries imaginable.

In the battle of Minelab Vanquish 440 vs Vanquish 540, Vanquish 540 has reigned supreme because of its advanced features. FAQ Operating at frequencies above 14 kHz significantly increases the chances of finding gold, so the ability to scan up to 40 kHz is a major bonus. It is important to remember that to find gold, you must look where gold has already been found. Gold is not in all areas, so be sure you are searching in areas known to contain gold or you are setting yourself up for failure. Since its origins in 1985 Minelab has become the world leader in metal detecting technologies for consumer, humanitarian demining and military needs. Through innovative design and devotion to research and development, Minelab is today a major world manufacturer of hand held metal detector products. Over the past 20 years, Minelab metal detectors have introduced more innovative and practical technology than any of its competitors and has taken the metal detecting industry to new levels of excellence. It has 3 Target Tones (Low, Mid, High) and 10 adjustable volume levels so you can adjust it to the most comfortable setting. The standard coil on the 440 is a waterproof (up to 3.3 feet) V10 (10” by 7”) Double-D search coil. The Vanquish line can use different coils.

The Quest company is also working on a new series of advanced metal detecting machines, also in the beginner-middle level, but with a bunch of cool features. as seen in the Equinox Series which made it a real game changer in the metal detecting world and by far the best selling metal detector in 2018, 2019 and probably all-time to date. There is no need to learn the complexities of various settings, the hard work has been done for you. Turn on, select a mode, detect. Features Reverse the Arm Cup for storage and transport. Detect ModesI 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 has waterproof coils up to 1 m (3.3 ft) and Water Resistant control pod (with optional Rain Cover). So, let’s take a closer look at Vanquish. Here we’ll deal with a metal detector pretty similar to Minelab Equinox, but with sufficiently decreased functionality. Discrimination is not recommended when gold prospecting with a metal detector, because gold can often read on the lower end of numerical target ID, like iron. If you know you will be metal detecting in a trashy location, or a location with a lot of iron targets you are not interested in, you can use your discrimination feature to notch the unwanted metals out, while keeping the desired metals notched in. This detector is fully submersible up to 10 feet, while the Vanquish 440 only has a waterproof search coil and water-resistant control box. The Simplex+ has Bluetooth connectivity for use with wireless headphones, Iron Volume, and Notch Discrimination.
