I've had a 440 for atleast 2 years and absolutely love it ! Does everything I want . No need to upgrade later unless you want extremely small and deep gold nuggets.
So easy for anyone to use even if you are a beginner or more experienced user.
Thanks for posting and highly recommend them. Cheers n thanks.
Many thanks!!
great video. I, too have the 440, and I love it. thanks so much for taking the time to explain all the features.
You are welcome, feel free to subscribe to the channel as I think you will enjoy it
Thanks for the review! I've been trying to decide which detector I want and I think this video seals the deal. Vanquish 440 it is!
Its a very good detector
My 440 is coming this week . Thanks for the advice and tips
Check out the mega pack for the vanquish here at unearthed- www.uneartheduk.co.uk
Great video mate. Just received one today for my birthday and I'm extremely excited to use it. Hi from Australia.
Good luck out there with the vanquish frank
Thank you so much for the review. I will be getting the 440 very soon.
You are welcome sir
Thanks, jave just bought one on your recommendation.
Great info man! Thanks for the great video! From Florida USA.
Thanks for watching sir 👍🏼
Another nice review by a man who knows his stuff.
Very kind words
Over here in The States ….The 440 is a fantastic park / wet - dry sand beach detector…….. it’s performance is at par with some of my past detectors costing $1500 ……..Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching rob👍👍
Thank you, sir! I am about the purchase one right now.
Thanks for watching sir
I quickly lost the nut & bolt on my Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202. I put a giant gob of hot glue on it, stood up, and placed the coil on the ground at an even level until it set. I have the Vanquish 340 and it`s perfect for my hunting areas.
Good honest review 😀
Thank you mark
The 440 is a great machine and picks up loads of good finds. Why buy a machine costing over £600 when this does the same job for half the cost. We all tend to want the next best detector out and it's not the way to go but to learn your present machine well and know the tones so you will know what is beneath that sound. Great video and informative for anyone wanting the vanquish machine.
Thank you William
I'm glad you mentioned the weatherproof cover for the control box. I've got a Fisher F44 that got rain in the box and is now completely useless as no one can replace the control box. So I'm going to buy the Minelab. Thanks for the info 👍
We have plenty in stock richard, look no further than us here at unearthed
Just got myself a vanquish 440. It's my first metal detector. I've only used it a couple of times but it is really good. Easy to use, just put the batteries in and go. Coil is water proof but box is not, but it does come with a cover
Open it up and see what what took a crap . might be able to get a computer electronics shop to fix it
Tbh I’ve been a Whites guy for years. Having a tough time getting used to this one. Your video definitely helps!
You are welcome
I'm a new Minelab Vanquish 440 owner, and greatly appreciate this video. My only recommendation would be to show the viewer what--exactly--is being shown on the display for the various hits. You eventually starting showing what was on the display, but early in the video, you did not. Show us the "Pinpoint mode" also. I'd like to know why you passed over some items, and why you stayed over others, and how you knew to do that. In all, the video is great--thank you!
Thanks guys,,am sold ,,buy one this week mate ,,rgds Lord Baltimore
Good lord!
Thank you. Well done!!
Thank you drace
Really good thank you!
Thanks shawn
Thank you Very helpful

Thanks for the review, This is a Great Beach machine 👍
Thanks for watching David
Nice one Graeme. I have the 540 to accompany the nox 800 and it's a great machine and I was very impressed to how quiet it's
They are a very capable detector steve, thanks for watching mate
Hi. I'm new to metal detecting and thinking of purchasing one. Having seen your great reviews i can't decide between the Minelab Vanquish 440 or the Nokata Simplex model, both look great. Just wondered what are your views to steering me in the right direction. Many thanks.
Both very good mike, the vanquish is now our best seller taking over from the simplex
Great video thank you. Is it ok to use in the rain? I noticed you mentioned it isn’t weatherproof. Do you have any recommendations for rain covers?
Hi, it comes with a cover in the box sir
Great review! In fact I went out and bought one based on this and other research and I'm delighted with it. Could you give me a little more detail about how to make the headphones wireless? Many thanks.
Thanks for watching Martin, a set of wireless headphones with a transmitter will work just fine as long as you have the correct size jack plug
Very good review its such a good little machine 👍👍
Thanks mate, it is very crisp on the targets
So if you have Bluetooth headphones, (I have like 4 different pairs) can you just attach a Bluetooth transmitter to the 3.5 mm Jack??
Yes an external transmitter with headphones will work
Hello Graeme I'm looking for my first detector I've come across a new vanquish 440 or a used fisher f22 with a garrett pin pointer and garrett headst and spade for the same price which would you go for
Come to me and i will do you a good deal on either, we are the best.👉💥
Just tested out my vanquish 440, however how deep is each depth triangle / bar? Does it go by inches, centimeters, feet?
Ignore the depth indication, its just a rough estimate and you cannot gauge the depth using it with any accuracy
Yeah my depth gauge is not that accurate but everything else is spot on
Great info vid mate..be ordering one of these shortly..cheers
You are welcome sir,.you can see them here on my website www.uneartheduk.co.uk
Bought it and first go with it, no sound without using headphones and in my yard get constant pings/noise. Is my sensitivity too high?
Might have a speaker issue sir, ring the local dealership
Great review Graeme. 👍
Thank you mate, have a great easter!!
Hi Graeme , nice review mate looks like a decent little machine , hope all is good with you my friend best wishes Rob 👍
Thanks robbie, hope you are well sir!!
Totally agree about the weatherproofing! I drowned mine within the first month, and luckily it was covered by my insurance as the whole PCB had to be replaced. I think for a detector aimed at the ‘novice’ it’s really good but should be able to take the life knocks sustained while being a newbie! I do hope Minelab listens! 🙏🙌😊
That's a shame lucy
How did you drown it?
@@bleirdo_dude I was digging a hole (well above the tide line) and a rogue wave turned the sand to liquid! My detector was propped against my scoop, and the whole lot went under box first!
@@doubledlucy Oh darn... Thanks 4 the reply.
Lucy , was your detector covered by your home insurance or a separate item insurance for detector only. I'm interested because the same happened to me recently.
Good video. I never owned or used a metal detector. I would like to get out and try one. My eye is on this vanquish 440 and the Garrett 400, any thoughts? Thank you
Vanquish dean, 100%
Vanquish
I have one issue with this machine.. I’m not sure if it’s ghost readings or what but I get a lot of 20-30 readings on the scale that turns out to be old pieces of iron (nails etc) isn’t the 20-30 range supposed to be within precious metals or does the readings just go off possibilities
Hi kaz, sometimes the machine will be fooled by some iron numbers wise, however you can usually sort this out by listening to the audio and working the target 360 degrees
@@unearthed-detecting-tv yeah even on 360 I can get a 25+ hit turning out to be big old hand made nails lol 😂 also when you say listen, the tone bounces back from low tone majority to the occasional high tone. Am I best not to look at the number scale then?
@@kazket-uk i always use the VDI numbers purely as a secondary information tool, tones always win
How does it work on a wet sandy beach ? Great Info Thanks .
Hi Trevor, they work fantastic on the wet sand too, I have a really good offer on currently for these vanquish 440,s, with a free pinpoint probe added! check out them on my website www.uneartheduk.co.uk
I'm so glad i bought this machine from you for my daughter 2 weeks ago, we were out on sat i had my nox she had the 440 she found a coin i found a moo tube ha ,great detector for the money excellent honest review as always i would recommend to anyone
Glad your daughter likes the detector mate
where do you get a waterproof cover from
It comes with an environmental cover sir
Hiya buddy, do you still rate this detector the same or is there something else out there which is better for a similar price? Looking at buying one because my dad took me a few times as a kid with a green and white garratt detector, he's since passed away but I want to take my son and daughter with me to create the same memories for them, any help is appreciated
Hello Brett,
I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to inform you that we are currently offering a complimentary free pinpointprobe with the vanquish440. Still a very good detector, You can access this service by visiting our website at www.uneartheduk.co.uk.
I just got my Vanquish 440 a couple of months ago, and I love it. the only problem I am having is trying to get it to work wireless. i have tried two different transmitters and two different headphones without success. can you tell me what transmitter model and what headphone model you use? other wise I will sell my 440 and get a 540, the 540 is wireless and has some extra features. and keep making great videos.
Jeff, try the quest lite headphones
@@unearthed-detecting-tv thanks, i will look into them.
I got a 440 used it today on some old pioneer sites in cornfields loaded with iron, I noticed that 440 had a hard time on the iron patch. Its just not grabbing objects and giving alot of false signals as well
Where did you buy it?
@@unearthed-detecting-tv pawn shop

What is the square opening (on the left)_ inside the battery compartment?
Thats so if any software updates become available
So both openings are for sw updates?
@Smore45 sorry, the big one is for software updates, the other is probably to help with repairs etc if needed as its on all models
Great vid Mate. I am looking to buy my first metal detector that I want to use for gold prospecting and treasure hunting. I have the opportunity to buy an X-Terra 705 for $169 or a Vanquish 440 for $349 here locally. What are your thoughts on that for a first detector? I have been advised to save more money and buy an Equinox 800, but it is considerably more expensive even second hand. Not much work lately so I am on a fairly tight budget and still considering the 440?
Regards, Jas.
The vanquish is your best bet 👉💥
would this be ok on uk beach?
Absolutely perfect sir, if you are in the market for one then we have just got a batch in stock!
Duża będzie różnica w zasięgach między 340 a 440?
Both very cool detectors
Great detector
Indeed it is Jane, i think you got yours from us here at unearthed?
Can I ask a question? Just got the 540 (similar to the 440 I guess) is it normal for it to constantly 'chatter' when out in the field? It's almost like I'm getting 3 or 4 signals in one swoop of the head from left to right. Set it up using a couple of recommendations but still the same noise - its really hard to distinguish between actual targets and false noises when swinging the detector. Any idea's?
Hi Arthur, that isnt normal, it may have a coil fault
You should actually dig from 1 on the vdi upwards , I've seen a couple of YT vids that suggest this that show thin gold objects and rings coming in this low :)
Always go by tones, use the VDI as back up sir
A quality video to help the vanquish users out there
Its very good for the money mate, i can send it down if you want a blast with it
Hi Graeme! Just out of interest, why would you want to own/use 440 when you already have and use Equinox 800?
Hi dusan, the vanquish along with other detectors act as a great back up detector and offer a different option out in the field, also we need to use, understand and enjoy these detectors as we sell them, so people can get the correct advice on how to use etc
Where is the sweet spot on the coil?
Roughly where the stem ends sir
Could you do a vid about the number readings what to look for and not???
If people think it's worth it bill then yes!
I know that there will be a learning curve to understand the what and how, If Iwas youI would contact the manufacturer and see if they would do a deal to produce a video for the basics, intermediate and advanced level of operations. Including all aspects, geographic employment etc etc.
Best buy for the money you can get.
Thank you for watching 👍
Unbelievable advances in detecting technology since we started Graeme, where will it all end? I like the multi-frequency aspect of it, something lacking in the otherwise superb Simplex. I agree with you regarding the control box, if they can fill it with features surely waterproofing should not be a problem.
Many thanks for watching bill!
Will the Vanquish 440 detect native gold such as small nuggets?
Depends how tiny David
@@unearthed-detecting-tv matchhead size?
@daviddavey1727 quite possibly but only on the jewellery mode or in all metal mode, remember its designed to be a gold hunting machine for flakes etc
Do you run in all metal most of the time regardless of mode?
How long do batteries last on this one?
Depending on the type used you will get over 20 hours of use
@@unearthed-detecting-tvwow really? Ok thanks!
@jesusresendez8725 you are welcome sir, feel free to subscribe to the channel, you will enjoy it
I love my 440 💖
you did well with it!
What's the little horseshoe button for??
All metal david
Bought mine from you a couple of months back and I was wandering with the first 2 icons discriminated out, say in coin mode, why do I still dig so much iron... What is it discriminating? Having great fun with it as a newbie and enjoying your videos, cheers, Paul
Hi paul, some iron objects can be tricky due to their size and shapes, are you working the signal 360 degrees? Also are you using your headphones with the detector?
Have used the phones on and off but its really quiet where I detect so not much. What do you mean by 360°
@@paulwaddington2615 Hi paul, keep using the headphones as you will be able to distinguish the iron better through them, also walk around the target 360 degrees to determine if its iron, i will do a film on iron soon
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Cheers Graeme, much appreciate your help. I'll keep an eye out. For that.
You are welcome paul
I put my coin purse, car keys and my 24 carat gold necklaces on the ground. I get tone when passing coins and car key but nothing on my gold necklace. I know its gold due to certificate. So my question is what am I doing wrong?
Try all metal and jewellery mode
That 440 seems to be a great little machine Graeme. Have you ever used the 540??
Hi Jerry, yes ive also used the 540 too, i enjoyed using both of them equally
Sir how can I pass your metal dector .low prise.in India.
Please subscribe to the channel sir and ask friends to sub too, the main India dealer I will find for you
May be just cover up the top of the box with cerama wrap? 1 or 2 layers.💭🤔
It comes with a good cover anyway so all is good
Many thanks for watching this film everyone, I will do similar ones throughout this year.
Great video. Do you know if this unit will work for searching for meteorites? I know the more expensive 540 has a high and low setting for iron but this one doesn't.
@@ronwittwer4676 i am not sure sir as ive never found or detected one
Can vanquish 440 detect gold nuggets sir?
it can yes!
@@unearthed-detecting-tv another question sir how deep can it reach the vanquish 440? I love metal detecting 😊
@@patriciaannjetajobe4029 all depends on the size of the object
@@unearthed-detecting-tv thank you sir good luck for coin hunting and nuggets hunting godbless.😊
@@patriciaannjetajobe4029 you too!!
I wish you showed the screen while you were in the test bed, not the grass. Other than that, very helpful for this newbie
Hello sir,why do you need to see the screen?
@@unearthed-detecting-tv well, isn't that what I'd be looking at if I was using my own? I'd like to see the nbrs , and the dig indicator. I guess..
@Fishin_Fixin_things tones sir, always go by tones, never fully trust the numbers 👍
How much

Love the simple machines...no faffing about , just turn on and go..
Agreed sir!

@@patricelesage6279 thats fantastic!!
@@unearthed-detecting-tv yes, thank you minelab vanquish !!!👍😅
@@patricelesage6279 keep up the great work!
I have a opportunity to purchase a 440, i was hoping to learn ans see its features. Why did you make adjustments off camera collapse down/up for me it would have been nice to view that! Also, the various different tones, pitches as your sweeping not being able to view the screen from tone to tone? I have more questions now than before watching this video.
Many thanks, however randy learning these small adjustments would be better learmt by yourself
the detector the frequency transmits
Thanks for watching sir

@@unearthed-detecting-tv ok I will get today I have some old 1800s cabin I want to search
Mine came with a waterproof cover and a pin pointer ( Minelab Pro Find ) .
yes phillip, its a deal we had on for a while, the environment covers come as standard.
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Must be the same where I got mine from as well then , one point you should dig from a vdi number of 1 as some old coins come in that low .
@@PhilipKerry we sell them here in the uk sir
@@unearthed-detecting-tv Mine came from Detecknicks I think
Correction I bought a V12 coil and that came from Detecnicks :)
Hi there ive just taken my new vanquish 440 out today in a ploughed field...it was picking up everything...i used the same settings you have it on in this video.. But kept finding a lot of nails . Is this normal? Thanks
No, my suggestion would be when you hit a target click into all metal mode and recheck the signal, if you get a low tone/grunt in there then move onto the next signal
@@unearthed-detecting-tv okay will do... thank you for the advice. 👍👍👍
@@theirishexplorers2261 also the dealer where you bought it from should also help you with advice etc
@@unearthed-detecting-tv unfortunately i bought it online.wether not that makes a difference.
Why the Damm noise.its not music .
Zinky baby, the music was produced in the good ole USA!!
HATE the color.
I dare you to detect along with me with my modded Cibola. 9X12 DD.
Can't touch that.
Silver magnet, and absolutely everything including BBs at 4"
The problem you have is ive found more gold and silver over the years than most, so the dare would purely be on your head sir 😁
@@unearthed-detecting-tv
You might have me there because I have only found gold plated jewelry but endless silver. The Cibola, especially a modded one is a silver magnet.
So sensitive that I have to keep the coil at least two feet from my boot eyelets so I don't get false signals.
Slightly negative ground balance works well with high iron soil in western wa

Finally a Minélab most people can afford
A very reasonably priced range of detectors gene, and easy to use too!
I love it,
I have a gpx 5000 that I take out for gold ,but I have found myself using the vanquish 540 more and more in parks and on the beach,a great little detector.
Quite frankly, i consider minelab to be overpriced.........
If you think the vanquish range is overpriced then its back to board games for you sir I'm afraid
Those Convicts you Brits sent to Aussie are very intelligent folks. Aussies have invented and created a lot of ingenious products for the world like Minlab, The Howard Rotavator, Phoenix paints...... "Metalfix" and "Metalfix 1000" paint which is insane
