Been looking for the right detector for 6 months.....Just paused video and bought one from Ebay...Thanks for the motivation
I thoroughly enjoyed reading your comment @Hitch Cristos and really what detecting for me is all about mate. Knowing that this video has helped inspire you to purchase a new detector is just awesome! I love hearing it🙂
Be sure to check out more of my videos showing the Vanquish in action, even the Equinox video aswell as they hold very similar settings, plus the tips I share will relate to your new Vanquish also.
Best of luck out there and I look forward to hearing how you go in future🙂👍⛏️
great vid ,i've just got a 540 and was looking for some setup information and stumbled across your chanel , good info here thanks for the help , and the ACF pin bade is Australian Comforts fund , setup to support troops abroad ..
G'day Luke
Well done on your fine Luke and once again thank you for sharing your knowledge on metal detecting it always learn something. Thank you!

Cheers heaps again mate and Happy Easter🙂
An awesome hunt! Well done!! Love my ACF badge, all comforts and freedoms resonates well with the hobby.
Keep up the good work mate and happy hunting.
Thanks so much @Lewis Haynes that little ACF badge coming out is a bloody ripper piece of history to find and save🙂 Just a shame I didn't find it last month for our Military March theme.
Cheers heaps for watching mate happy hunting out there👍⛏️
Great video Luke. You dug up some nice finds. Happy Hunting.
Thanks so much @Brooklyn Treasure Hunter this was a great hunt and also nice to be using and learning that Vanquish 540 to!
Happy hunting, catch you on the next👍⛏️
Cool as Luke..i still love my 540👌❤
Hi there @ozdog822 the 540 truly are a ripper machine mate. Cheers heaps bro👍👍🤝⛏️
Great vid best description on starting up machine lv seen for discrimination and start up
Thankyou so much @Stef Garvie I am so glad you enjoyed and found this setup video to be helpful for you. There is a few more tips and tricks videos on my channel which im sure you may find helpful to watch also. Best of luck and happy hunting out there🙂⛏️👍

Hi there @ramma banana thanks so much for your comment and I'm so glad you are enjoying my Channel and videos!🙂 There is plenty of helpful tips and tricks shared hunting with the Equinox 600-800 and Vanquish 540. I will be also using the Vanquish 440 very soon, sharing information as I go🙂
Cheers heaps and happy hunting out there with your new 440👍⛏️
G'day Luke, it seems you will have to sus out the sweet spot on that disk, to save you from the extra digging, or damaging anything, you probably know this already, but that screw in bottle top is most likely to be from a hot water bottle. Its amazing how such a small item IE: the ACF badge can have such a huge story behind it, love that stuff! Thanks Luke, see you next week! Cheers!
Hi there @Wayne Armstrong thanks so much for watching this latest hunt mate. I really need to spend a little more time on the Vanquish to find the correct pinpoint spot but definitely happy with how it is has been performing at these old sites so far🙂
That little A.C.F badge sure is a great piece of ww2 history to mate, i love that it was found with the 540 to👍
Cheers heaps again Wayne, have a great Easter with your family and enjoy mate🙂⛏️
The vanquish 540 is great for the money. I use the smaller coil it picks up loads and at great depth
The vanquish series sure packs alot of bang for buck @adventurer days they are just amazing! I look forward to detecting more for future with both the 540 and 440 and sharing in my videos.
Thanks so much for watching and happy hunting out there🙂⛏️
I just purchased a 540, and do I have a lot to learn as a true beginner.
@MrPepper312 it definitely can be hard when first starting out..I remember it well. However the more time you put in to your new 540, the faster you will learn and the better you will succeed.
Just remember to also have fun and dig those iffy deep signals...just never know what they can be👍👍⛏️
There's also lots of Equinox 800 videos on my channel that relate similar to the 540 that will help you learn👍 Enjoy!
You did a great job:)
Thanks heaps for watching @Root toot it was great to have a day out hunting with the Vanquish and what a ripper of a detector it is to use!
I am sure we can find plenty more on our next visit also. Happy hunting out there👍⛏️
Well done 👍
Thanks heaps @Jersey History Hunter this was a great day out detecting and nice to be saving a few more old coins for the collection👍 Happy hunting out there⛏️
Good finds enjoyed watching
Thanks so much for watching @TREASURE HUNTING SCOTLAND MUDLARKING ADVENTURES this was a great day out detecting, plus sharing plenty of tips and tricks when using the Vanquish!
I really hope it all helps for future. I look forward to catching you on the next, cheers mate👍⛏️
Thanks for sharing your knowledge on the 540. Great video! Some really nice finds. Glad I found your site and subscribed. I bought a 540 about a year ago and love it . I like the iron bias on it cause i like to hunt old barn and turn of the century gas well sites and it dose come in handy. I’m in the US by the way so hello from across the pond.
Thanks so much for watching @Cherokee Billy69_Jeep'n WV: i am really glad you enjoyed this video mate and the information provided on the Minelab Vanquish 540. A ripper of a machine to use and very capable when chasing those coins and relics👌
Cheers again for watching mate, I really appreciate the Sub to! Best of luck out there for future hunting and I hope to catch you again soon👍⛏️
Me and the young fella picked the 540 up today ... we found 3 1cent coins and a shit tone of bottle caps lol
Alot of learning to do now ! Thanks for the vid mate
Great work @Aaron Peterson and young fella, that is so awesome to hear!
I'm sure once you learn the Vanquish 540 a little more and those TID numbers showing on the screen, you guys will have lots more success digging the coins and relics👌 The Vanquish series really are an all round brilliant detector to use and learn and very capable to!
Best of luck out there for future hunting guys, i cant wait to hear more👍⛏️
Wife bought me a 540 for my last birthday to go fossicking. I have yet to use it, but I am looking forward to it.
Wow great stuff @Neil Cutten the Vanquish 540 range are an exceptional detector by minelab and very capable! The depth, separation and discrimination are amazing, helping the 540 hit on the more desirable targets when hunting trashy areas. Be sure to give it a go very soon mate and listen for those high tones and short sharp signals...most likely to be a coin or two👍
Best of luck for future and I'd love to hear how you go🙂⛏️
I’ve just bought this machine , I’m a total beginner and live 25 meters from the beach that has roughly 5 miles if coastline , I have bought a little hand held shovel and a sand scoop/ sieve , is there anything else you would recommend I buy as a beginner (btw I am female so not very strong with weight) would you recommend the smaller coil or the larger for the beach ? Also I read the previous comment from someone reference the screw in the coil , is it meant to have play in the coil as I haven’t tightened the screw in really tight just comfortably tight if you know what I mean ? ! Any tips would be grateful , thank you
Hey Luke! I’m enjoying the Vanquish videos! At about 7:55 you say you’re in User Mode 2. Could you please clarify this? I noticed you’re in the Custom setting. (Out of the Coin, Jewellery, Relic options). So have you chosen Coin mode then tweaked it to your liking and saved that as your Custom to use for this location? When I use the Vanquish, I sometimes switch between the modes in the same location. Relic to get a bit deeper etc, then back to Coin mode when I’m coming back from the other direction. Anyway, as always I appreciate your videos and sharing your vast knowledge, passion and skill. Happy Easter!!
Thanks heaps for watching @Can Graf its been great to be running that Vanquish this month, resting out what it is capable of🙂
I stated user mode in the video at 7:55 but meant to say custom mode sorry mate. Great pick up!
I haven't played around to much with the other search modes but feel custom is the best to start off with for me, so I can change settings and learn as I go.
I will be heading out very soon again to test out that Vanquish at another new site...I can't wait!
Happy Easter Cam, hope you enjoy mate👍⛏️
Great video! What would you recommend for settings in rural rockey mountain areas in africa. I havent been able to find anything useless i am looking mostly for gold.
Have a great weekend!
Thanks so much @Dawn The Metal Detective the boys are so excited for Easter Bunny to come!
Likewise have a great weekend and Easter with the family😊⛏️
Hey Luke, I'am having problems setting up the 540 for Relics. The ground here in S.C. is very HOT Clay. Can you help? Thanks so much.
Newbie here. Just got the 540 pro today. I know nothing about custom setups. Can you explain how to set it so it wont pick up nails and screws? Thanks. Great video.
I get no sound on my auto noise cancel when i turn on and off on my vanquish 540 i was until recently, any ideas mate
What mode do you use the vanquish on please
I like your digger with nice and wide on top for your foot.
What exactly is it?
Awesome info video‼️
Thanks so much for watching @Dale Fifield the digger I use is called a Tyger Stainless Steel Xl shovel. I got the Xl just due to my height but they do come in smaller sizes if needed. Also be sure to check out there hand diggers, I highly recommend them all. I hope to catch you on another hunt for future👍⛏️

Hello 😀 I'm soon to buy my first detector and am looking at the 540 because i've heard that its a good all round unit. Can go from beach to park and back again 😁 but have seen that the coils are waterproof but what about the unit itself? Seen that it comes with a rain cover but does that mean its not waterproof? I know that it sounds like a dumb question given that it comes with a rain cover one would suspect that it isnt waterproof but just want to know for sure if is or not.
It's not water proof
Cual es mejor el vanquish 540 o xterra pro sin importar la impermeabilidad
Nice one Luke. How about this for a month theme name? Machine Mash up?
I love it @DirtFishinDave and also suits perfect to mate! Thanks heaps for watching and the great suggestion, I look forward to sharing plenty more hunts mixing it up with different detectors as I go👍 Happy hunting out there mate⛏️
Did you narrowdown where the pinpointer was??
Quick question about your coil to shaft connection. I cannot get my screw to be tight, and I have to readjust the angle of the coil almost every time. I noticed yours seems not tight, is this by design?
Hi there @Chris Mann my coil is generally fairly loose and only needs adjusting every so often to run flat on the ground. I also use a coil stiffener support bracket just to stop any cracks or breaking of the coil eyelets. After a while your coil rubbers will wear in and should hopefully find the correct place to sit for future.
Best of luck and happy hunting mate👍
How much better is the 540 i returned my 440 i am just using for beach use gold silver etc. it was all over the place . I thought about the equniox 600 is it worth the money . thanks
The 600 is better
What hip pouch are you using mate? Very good video, thank you 👍 🙂
Hi there @Jason Morris I normally am using the Minelab carry Pouch, however in this video I was using my other Pouch, which is made by Detect-Ed products and also awesome to use!
I really appreciate you watching mate, best of luck out there hunting and I hope to catch you on that next adventure👍⛏️
Double check your holes with your pin pointer.....could be 2 targets in them...
Does everything have to be a damn ripper?
One question sir! At 10:14 you've mentioned ''depth bars''. I have just purchased it and its been 1 day of usage and havent noticed it. Are those bars of depth showing actully how deep is the object ? Thanks!
Hi there @KHAANZOR thanks heaps for watching mate. You are 100% spot on there with the Depth bars being mentioned. Each bar showing on the screen represents 50mm (or 2inches)
So 2 bars would be 100mm and 4 inches deep, and you would know that it could possibly be something older being buried deeper.
I really hope that makes sense, be sure to check out some of my other videos for more information, plus tips and tricks hunting. Best of luck out there🙂⛏️
@@DigItDetecting Thank you sir a lot. Kind regards from Croatia and happy hunting! ❤️💪
You are most welcome anytime @KHAANZOR best of luck and happy hunting out there mate👍⛏️
@@DigItDetecting I did today better than yesterday. But still i am getting confused with one thing. Today i catch something deep. It wss full bars and i started. Dig out 40cm and then put it back in again and the bars didn’t change. I feel that it catches it pretty deep but havent arrived enough close. Night has fell and i had to leave. Should i dig more on that spot or not?
And is it important that this deep whatever i found shows low numbers or high? Or it doesnt matter, i should check it out anyways.
Thanks
Gday everyone.... have a great Easter....
Happy Easter to you and your family @Mark Mcintosh and best of luck out there hunting this weekend to mate👍⛏️
When I hold the horseshoe it gives ne a small like screw or nail on screen why?
When holding the horseshoe button down on the Vanquish 540 @WESTERN NY BIGFOOT it will set it to low iron bias and display the little nail on the screen.This allows the detector to better identify coins amongst dense ferrous trash and potentially stopping the detector from masking those good signals.
Then push and hold Horseshoe button to reset back to a High iron bias.
I hope that all makes sense. Be sure to check out some of my Equinox videos where I explain the settings I run and why using the low iron bias is so important in trashy areas. Best of luck👍⛏️
My Minelab vanquish 540 Giving me 30 to 35 Signal So What was that is that Gold Or something else
maximum depth ???
What do you soak your pennies in to clean them up please?
The copper pennies i generally just give a brush with water @David Lean and allow to dry. Other pennies if not to concerned, can go through the rock tumbler. There is a video featured on my channel showing how to clean them that way also🙂
Doesn't it need to be above ground to do noise cancelling rather than touching ground?. Not saying I know. Just asking
A great question @Andrew Taylor the Vanquish series detectors have an automatic noise cancel process that occurs every time the detector is powered on, calibrating the detector to cut out the excessive noise.
It recommends in the Vanquish manual that for best results, the coil should be held stationary just above the ground until the startup Automatic Noise Cancel is complete (indicated by two large dashes displayed on the Target ID Number field) If your detector is still experiencing EMI interference then you can reduce the sensitivity down further until it's running quite.
I really hope this helps when out hunting next, best of luck mate👍
@@DigItDetecting yes cheers. I just wanted to point out as looked like your detector was on the ground when you showed us. I will use your method for changing sensitivity as I always get a lot of chatter but don't like losing depth so will try this technique when I go on my next dig.
I'm currently reading about the best mode to have it on as I go between coin mode and relic, and all metal for double checking of it's iron, but with the depth and recovery differing between the two modes I think one is best suited for trashy ground than the other
10kt gold reads #8 so it's better to keep from 7 up
The metal detector can find the metals but it can't pick the site, so if you detect a site with no real valuables, you will find no real valuables
Spot on there @805gregg thanks so much for watching mate, happy hunting out there👍⛏️
* One of the first things that I learned in ( Metal Detecting ) is to do your "Research".., (e.g., coins found in the area or any gold found in the area, read history maps of the area, etc...) * Back ( history ) of the area..., will save you a lot of time and headaches... Ask yourself one question: #1) "What has been found in the area in the past and how much ?" Research and narrow your search area..., where something ( valuable ) has been found in the past... Good hunting and a little research..., goes a long way... "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana :)
Good God. So many words......
I think I have the 440...which is exactly the same as the 540 except that it doesn't have a backlight yeah?
*edit: I know your busy rn mate if I can help let me kniw
Not waterproof but I think the coil can go in the water if needed
* "Yes"..., both Minelab Vanquish 540 Pro Pack Coils are waterproof ! ! :)
Hi Simplex or Vanquish 540 ?
The Vanquish is definitely my preferred option for detecting @Raub Gräber but all personal preference really as they are both quite capable machines
Ripper of a cracker channel, good stuff
Breathe
How deep can it detect?
General speaking @Dimas.M the Vanquish can detect up to 8-10 inches deep I have found, although that does come down to target size, coil size and of course ground/soil conditions.
The more trash or false signals, or even mineralisation in ground can effect depth.
All round the vanquish range are a very capable detector and well worth the money I feel🙂
Best of luck and happy hunting out there👍⛏️
@@DigItDetecting which detector you recomend Vanquish 540,Xp orx,Nox 600 or nokta legend?
540 or gm6
Definitely a 540 in my opinion @ClaudioVip98 they are well priced, light and easy to use. And ideal for detecting those trashy sites👍⛏️
The first dime you found was not 1920. It's a Roosevelt dime which was made in the 40s. Obviously a easy mistake with foreign currency unless your a big numismatic person
Thanks so much for watching @3 Star Perfect Deer and your right to mate. At the end of the video I managed to get a date off this coin and realised it was alot later round the 1940s.
Cheers again for watching, I look forward to catching you on that next hunt👍⛏️
Eeny Meeny Miny Moe Month?
The dime is 90% silver!
It sure is @Dawn The Metal Detective although I didn't even realise at first when finding. It wasn't until I cleaned it up that I realised🙂 What a ripper🙌
No audio ?
Audio is working now
Great to hear the audio is now working for you @lungvirus I really hope you enjoy👍⛏️
@@DigItDetecting it was odd , for about half an hour the audio wouldn't t come through , RUclips must have sorted itself out after that , great video mate
Awesome to hear it's all sorted, thanks again @lungvirus I am really glad you enjoyed watching this hunt👍⛏️
baysekly annoying but thx
ACF is Australian Comfort Fund bro.
Correct and also explained at the end of this video👍
