Metal Detecting UK | Battle of the BUDGET Metal Detectors. Vanquish 340 VS Quest X5

  • Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
  • This week we wanted to put 2 entry level machines against each other. We took the old Minelab Vanquish 340 and the Quest X5 out, Both amazing machines to be fair, the Quest has rechargable batteries and a pinpoint function and comes in at £169 so thats a lot of detector for that money and the Minelab Vanquish comes in at £230, although it does not come with recgargable batteries of a pinpont function on this model it does come with Minelabes Multi IQ that the Equinox detectors use so makes it very stable on most lands.
    Over all we think that the Minelab Vanquish wes our better machine due to its clean tones and being super stable even with them deeper targets but the Quest did do well with them targets that were not deeper than say 6inch and because of some of its other features it does make it a worthy entry level machine.
    Enjoy all.

    Agreed..I have worked them both alot now, they're comparable except the v small things the Vanquish has the edge in depth. The real benefits of the Quest are it's low weight (Vanquish is heavy) rainproofedness and incredible battery life. Otherwise Vanquish would win outright price for price, less falsing, less interference, I find I'm shifting f band to stabilise too much on the Quest

    • @TheMetalDetectingChannel
      @TheMetalDetectingChannel  Год назад +1

    Bought my brother the Quest X10 which is an excellent wee machine. Ground balance etc. Finds some deep targets too. Not sure on the X5 but definitely good entry level detectors. The Vanquish seems to do really well and Flint Eastwood would vouch for it (Norfolk Button Boy's buddy). Great video and considered the newbies👏

    Hey did you ever do a beach test for the x5?
    Want to purchase a detector for my 11 year old son and his dad to use but we live on the North Wales coastline so will use it at the beach more than anywhere else. Just want to decide if the x5 is the best option for him. Could stretch to the x10 or Vanquish 340 however looks like the quest may be better starter set what with being waterproof etc so maybe more robust for him.

    • @TheMetalDetectingChannel
      @TheMetalDetectingChannel  10 месяцев назад +1

      We have taken it on the beach, but because it didn't do very well on the wet sands we couldn't get a video out with it :-( if beach detecting is what you are thinking about, then I would say the best detector would be the vanquish 340 :-) LP do a great starter kit here
