Hi fella. Besides more optimizing functions Is the 540 a big upgrade on the 440 or 340? And does the 12 inch coil out perform the 10 inch coil noticeably?
Would you say the Minelab 440 is better than a Garrett 300i? Currently looking at both, but the 300i 55th anniversary pack comes with the garrett pinpointer too.
I got one of those.. they gr8.. pick it all up.. even stones that have a metal content to it.. volcanic and meteorism? if one can decipher the difference.. lol.. Practice makes perfect.... and lots of JUNK! Just thought i add to my comment after reading others comments... this Vanquish 540 is the Only metal Detector anyone will ever need... it beats all others.. to much software and button clicking in other brands... it above a Beginners description in my Opinion... Highly recommended! Go and Buy one... 🙂
I'm interested alot in one off them ,iv got 400i garrett but think 440 OK but which one will you get if you was picking thank you lovd them two ,540 vanquish 440 minelab
Thank you 👍 Gathering information about the Vanquish 540. Am I faced with the choice of the Vanquish 540 vs Equinox 800? I do not want to overpay for functions that are not used in real practice ... I am primarily interested in beach and underwater searches ... and sometimes a forest, a field ... In any case, I will seal the device. I want to understand the difference between these devices in: work in saltwater .... depth of target detection ...., separation of targets ..., sensitivity to small jewelry (targets) ..., response speed from the target .. .
the vanquish is not as powerful as the Equinox, not a waterproof control box but the search coil is waterproof, uses the same Multi IQ technology as the Equinox
@@paulcee I wonder what the difference is: in the 1. depth; 2. separation of goals; 3. sensitivity to small goals; 4. work in salty sea water; 5. possibilities of discrimination ... thanks.
Great video paul, cant wait for mine, got mine on pre order with spinadisc. Ive chosen the 540, it should be like a minelab explorer se but very updated. The user save option paul, what options have you got to set up with?
It depends if you want to go underwater then the x-terra pro but if just wetsand/ drysand or not underwater then the vanquish will have you covered as its not submersible
Not too bothered about what it looks like. Important thing is how well it detects. Keep hearing people saying they are going to show it working on the beach but so far absolutely nothing has appeared. That is a little concerning. Minelab are bigging up the 'Multi-IQ' even though there is a cut down version on the Vanquish. As any Nox owner knows, Multi-IQ works fantastically well on the wet sand. Will the Vanquish perform in a similar manner? Would be interested in the 540 but holding off until I see that it does indeed work well on the beach.
I found a 1943 Mercury dime at Kensington Metro Park Beach outside of Detroit down about 14 in.. that place has been hammered for decades and all those guys missed it. And I'm a beginner! That coin has had to have been down there since at least 1970 or longer
No, it's being inserted as the next tier up. Go find, x Terra, vanquish, equinox, e trac, CTX 3030. That's my understanding anyway. If I find the link about it again, I will add it
@@paulcee I brought a Vanquish 440 about a month ago great detector I have used it about 3 times but for some reason the the back light won't come on anymore when I turn it on
Looks pretty interesting, I know it has a backlight screen can the brightness be adjustable? Also I have read that the coil is waterproof so that is good in the wet grass but doesn't look to good if your in a swimming hole, I think multi iq came out with the explorers back in 1999 or 98 not sure. Neat machine, to bad it's not fully waterproof.
The waterproof coil will be OK for paddling/wading in surf and rivers, but it can't go swimming. Multi-IQ is much newer technology, Equinox was the first machine to have it, Vanquish is the second.
conductivity of the the detected metal, a negative number is iron, a positive number is non ferrous the numbers a in sections each with a different audio tone, iron being a very low tone and a high conductive target being a high tone
So there is really an Iron Bias adjustment on the 540? I mentionned it on another of our videos but I never had a confirmation about it, good to know! What is happening when ou enable the iron bias button while you hold it down? Is it changing how the machine recognize iron in the ID scale? I'm a bit confused with this feature. Never had a detector with it.
I brought a 340 found a gold bracelet and ring, now I ordered the 540 which is basically free from my two finds! I can't wait till it comes just ordered today.
@@kayesdigginit1519 yeah your detector filters the trash above the good target but then you dig it up and find the trash first thinking it's the good target. Not all trash targets are made of iron.
It is a sad fact that minelabs vanquish machines look like toys That colour is in your face red it's awful but the tech is solid except the batteries seriously AA s it's 2024 guys put a lithium battery pack in there at least ditch the red or tone it down a bit and nokta have a problem . How many dismiss garrets because of that gawd awful yellow and display housing from the 70s like the minelabs . Ppl buy with their eyes they see a slick looking nokta and a 1970s or toy looking garrish coloured garret and minelab and won't even look at the specs sadly . @@Wings_of_foam
@@paulcee Thanks for the reply Paul, im sort of hoping that someone who see's this vid with experience of both machines will be able to give me some pointers, maybe its just too close to call though :-)
Has Garrett been involved with the design of the control panel? certainly looks ''Garretty'' to me. Also do these models have audio modulation as although lots of Pauls finds weren't overly deep the signals did sound a bit samey. I personally do use the fainter the signal the deeper the find way of doing things. Iv'e used and been a fan of Minelab for many years,however this model seems to lack the usual ''must have'' feel to it.I think i'll stick to my X terra and Explorer and wait for a few more field tests and owners comments.

Picked up my 440 today
Hi there,
About to buy vanquish 540 3 years used are they good for first buy do they last?
They are great, will last if you don't bash it about too much, also the RNB battery pack is a great upgrade to give you a long battery life.
Got me a 440 coming in. Can hardly wait to use it!
Hi fella. Besides more optimizing functions Is the 540 a big upgrade on the 440 or 340? And does the 12 inch coil out perform the 10 inch coil noticeably?
Only in some cases.A 10" coil has advantages over larger coils. Bingo! No worries.🏆🤑
In sunny conditions can u see the screen OK. Or does red back-light help if sunny please.
You can see the screen fine in sun
540 Higher end of the entry level. I'd pick-up the 540 over the ace 400.
Enjoyed your information and the video! Thanks for sharing!
Would you say the Minelab 440 is better than a Garrett 300i? Currently looking at both, but the 300i 55th anniversary pack comes with the garrett pinpointer too.
Most reviews suggest the Minelab is better. You get multi-frequency for a start

Can you turn off iron bias on the 340 and 440? When you are hunting for ww2 relics you cant search in high bias only.
friend the Minelab Vanquish 540 how many frequencies transmits??????
I'm interested alot in one off them ,iv got 400i garrett but think 440 OK but which one will you get if you was picking thank you lovd them two ,540 vanquish 440 minelab

The recovery speeds are pre set.. equivalent to 5,6,7 on the equinox.
Good night so do you think it worth It the 440 from the 540 i want to decide thanks in advanced
Great video paul, cant wait for mine, got mine on pre order with spinadisc. Ive chosen the 540, it should be like a minelab explorer se but very updated. The user save option paul, what options have you got to set up with?
Paul which detector would you recommend for beach terra pro or vanquish 540 cheers
It depends if you want to go underwater then the x-terra pro but if just wetsand/ drysand or not underwater then the vanquish will have you covered as its not submersible
hello can detect gold nuggets of that metal detector.tnx
It can depending on size, to you really need a dedicated gold detector. Gold monster. Sdc or gpx. Gpx to be really successful
Looks to me as a great beginner machine. Thanks Paul. GL&HH
Very informative video Paul! When will part 2 be out? I’m after a 340 as on a budget unfortunately just starting out
as soon as its been approved and edited. 340 same technology just a smaller coil and less functions and settings
Sounds good, thanks Paul
Small coil can be very 👍 👍No worries. You'll find 🤑.
Looks like a good set up Paul mate and they defo going after the Garretts ...what kind of money are we talking for the 540 mate ? 👌👍😀
Derek the 540 is 399 and the 540 pro pack is 499 bit.ly/CMDvanquish
Often way better than the garretts.!!
Is it a prototype? Or a final product?

hi paul keep up the good work can you help me with beach scoop shaft keeps snapping could you tell me where you got yours from thank you . george
I use all carbon fibre shafts George bit.ly/andrsonshfts
eager to see your comparison on the beach with other detectors.
the ideal machine for a novice....he would have every chance of finding jewelry !
I use the x-terra 705. Is the vanquish ment to replace it?
No, it's being inserted as the next tier up. Go find, x Terra, vanquish, equinox, e trac, CTX 3030. That's my understanding anyway. If I find the link about it again, I will add it
Looks like it can find the small relics! Thats a good sign!
Does it detect more accurately than an XP ORX ? Because the ORX is a beast .......
I have a ? and wondering it you can help me out
what ? is it?
@@paulcee I brought a Vanquish 440 about a month ago great detector I have used it about 3 times but for some reason the the back light won't come on anymore when I turn it on
Backlight on the 440?
Yes when I turn it on it doesn't light up anymore
@@patrickcowans8104 There is no backlight on the 440 only the 540
how is it at finding gold better than the gold bug 2 or less than the gold monster

24 25 what do the numbers mean please
conductivity of the the detected metal, a negative number is iron, a positive number is non ferrous the numbers a in sections each with a different audio tone, iron being a very low tone and a high conductive target being a high tone
Does this 540 have a visual depth gauge in inches or is just a shallow, deep or deeper bar gauge?
Bar gauge
What recovery speed in custom mode?
Could. U tell. Me. If this. Machine can reach 1 meter deep.?
On a big target yes no doubt
@@paulcee for example. Something like half meter big
Good video explaining all thank you ;-)

the iron bias is set at low medium and high
@@paulcee and what is Iron bias doing technically?
@@jimmyberubelevesque2557 very technical things with algorithms ruclips.net/video/o6n_H_onH3o/видео.html
They need to offer that coil to us NOX users.
What’s the pricing level of the 3 machines going to be ? Please
full pricing and pro pack pricing available here bit.ly/CMDvanquish
decent machine good for back up or excellent starter machine, if you knock out ring pulls surely youll miss the hammereds?
yes this is why it was set to detect all positive signals
I brought a 340 found a gold bracelet and ring, now I ordered the 540 which is basically free from my two finds! I can't wait till it comes just ordered today.
You are on fire mate. Well done 👍😊
Yes and the ace 250 and 400 is out.
Is this better than an AT Gold international?
Is it a deep machine?
No but still better for beginners...
thank you for the video
They need a Multi IQ Pinpointer, so you can pinpoint curtain targets By just changing the frequency or run it at multi.
I agree big time. God if I could tune out aluminum on both my metal detector and my pinpointer I'd be a very happy detectorist 😂

Looks great detector. But explorer etrac and CTX still the heavyweight champ.
Looks like a game changing starter machine for land and beach Paul. Red could be the new yellow.
Yes Neil beach to land no problem and not a ding dong bell sound around
When are you posting part 2 and 3. I'm waiting..... patiently.... Lol
nice video man top
Sounds like an Explorer se on start up
Love my Nox but personally I think this machines looks are awful. Think the Simplex will be king of the so called entry machines.
So looks over performance. Gotya!
It is a sad fact that minelabs vanquish machines look like toys
That colour is in your face red it's awful but the tech is solid except the batteries seriously AA s it's 2024 guys put a lithium battery pack in there at least ditch the red or tone it down a bit and nokta have a problem .
How many dismiss garrets because of that gawd awful yellow and display housing from the 70s like the minelabs .
Ppl buy with their eyes they see a slick looking nokta and a 1970s or toy looking garrish coloured garret and minelab and won't even look at the specs sadly .

En mi país está prohibido detectar un un campo que esté sembrado .
No detectamos cuándo los cultivos alcanzan los 100 mm y también replantamos los que desenterramos
Duża jest różnica między 540 a 440 opłaca się dopłacić do 540
£500 to spend... brand new V540 ?....... or good nick 2nd hand Nox 600 ?
Thats a tough choice for you to make.
@@paulcee Thanks for the reply Paul, im sort of hoping that someone who see's this vid with experience of both machines will be able to give me some pointers, maybe its just too close to call though :-)
The biggest question is do you need fully waterproof? If not then the 540 will be fine for you
@@paulcee .Only if i drop it in the sea :-). something ive managed to avoid up til now, but thank you, thats a very good point .
Change ideas
What's the price for this compared to the Simplex? That's what the newbies are shooting for is price 👍
Prices range from £229 to £499, Simplex is £299 to £399 with headphones. Full details here: www.crawfordsmd.com/minelab-vanquish

I picture Walter White narrating this
Red Garrett by Minelab!
Not quite....
better performer though!
Way better than the garrett!!!
😂 Not even! Way better machine.
Ну а где русский язык на видео ..автор название все на русском сам видос англ.(((
Ну ты мужик раскатал губы... мешки с золотом🙈
Horrible looking machine, Probably very good but design wise a flop
Than stop looking at it.😱🤣
