Minelab Vanquish 540 Pro-Pack Metal Detector - 3820-0004

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.

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!

This thing is absolutely amazing. It has features top of the line detectors has and for the price its a steal. The depths are fantastic, it's finding capabilities are amazing. This is definately a detector for beginners and even for advanced users. It is a great detector to use on the beach. It works so well on wet sand too. Can't heap enough praise on the minelab 540 vanquish. Definately worth the money and then some. I will be sticking to minelab products and the detector is the first thing I've bought in their range so far

Great deal on a wonderful product. Super fast delivery and customer service is outstanding. Highly recommend!!

I enjoy playing with this detector. Already found a quantity of coins. Some of them are quite old.
