Minelab Vanquish Features

Multiple Versions 

The device is available in several versions that differ between them, depending on a group of factors, such as included search coils or detection modes, and price. Vanquish device is available in four versions, as follows:

• The Vanquish 540 Pro Package
• Vanquish 540
• The Vanquish 440
• Vanquish 340

Detection Technology

The detection technology in Minelab Vanquish is Multi-IQ Multi-IQ technology use multiple search frequencies (5-10 – 15 – 20 – 40 kHz) simultaneously generated by the device to search for buried metallic objects such as coins and relics. This means that more coverage for all small and big metal targets that can be detected at the same time. Note : User can also select to search using one of previous frequencies.

Detection Modes 

Vanquish come with different detection modes that differ based on version. The built-in detection modes offer easy to use way for detection of specific object types or for specific ground conditions . Selecting detection mode is easy process by selecting the appropriate mode using mode button available on control panel near display screen. Available detection modes in Vanquish 540 & 540 Pro include following :

All Metal Mode

It is the default general find mode where it searches for all precious and non-precious metals indiscriminately. Note: The user can customize the appropriate find mode by adjusting the appropriate settings within the device software program.

Coin Mode

As the name indicates, this mode is suitable for finding coins made of various metals (gold – silver – bronze) ,so that it contains suitable settings for the detection of small and large coins within shallow depths.

Relic Mode

This detection mode designed to search for pieces of relics that are made of metal for example : old weapons (swords, daggers, shields)

Jewelry Mode

Appropriate  mode to search for gold ornaments such as rings – bracelets – collars – crowns …

Target ID

The digital target ID is a number within the range (-9 to 40) displayed on the digital device’s screen related to incoming signals reflected from the metal target buried underground. The target ID gives an idea about ​​the nature of the metal type of the buried object . for example : gold or silver or bronze …etc. The target ID number ranges from -9 to 40. The target ID range can be divided to following sections:

• -9 to 0 range is intended for ferrous metal objects (e.g. nails, iron scrap, soda cans)
•  1 to 40 target ID range denotes non-ferrous metal objects such as precious metals

such as silver, copper or gold.

Discrimination Bar

The device screen includes in the upper section a rectangular bar divided into sectors marked by certain symbols indicating the type of metal target within this sector corresponds to 50 values of the target ID range, grouped in 5 regions or sectors. The detected targets appear as illuminated sectors. Rejected targets (undiscovered or “empty”) appear to be illuminated or dimmed. The discrimination bar includes the following sectors: 1 – Ferrous metals sector (target ID range from -9 to 0), e.g. iron nail – iron wire 2 –  Very weak electrical conductivity metal (within the target ID range from 1 to 10), for example: very small nuggets of raw gold or foils of very small thickness 3 – Low conductivity metal sector (target ID range 11 to 20), e.g. aluminum or pure gold 4 – High – conductivity metal sector (target ID range 21 to 30), e.g. copper or bronze coins 5 –  Very high electrical conductivity metal sector(target ID range from 31 to 40), e.g. silver coin or teaspoon of silver

Iron Bias

The Iron Bias feature, the first of its kind in a metal detector, allows you to adjust ferrous metal detection settings between two values: High or Low. This enables the prospector to adjust the field of ignoring some iron metal targets that the device may ignore, enabling better results by discovering valuable targets and ignoring scrap.

Easy program

Vanquish features an easy-to-use one-screen software that displays information and indicators all on the crystal screen at the same time. The control panel buttons at the bottom and the sides of the screen can change many basic or advanced settings depending on the purpose of the search and various factors. Examples of configurable settings include:

• Select the find mode from the three modes mentioned previously.
• Change the operating frequency between one of five frequencies or activate the Multi-IQ option.
• Activate All-Metal mode for general all-metal search (via a special button on the control panel)
• Change and adjust the sensitivity settings
• Activate Pin Pointer mode for precise positioning of detected metals via a special button
• Activate the backlight of the screen red light helps to read the screen

when searching in the dark or in places with low light, for example within a cave

• Set a range of advanced settings such as noise cancellation, ground balance,

volume adjustment, and target sound tone.

Modern Practical Design

Equipped with high-quality, lightweight materials, the streamlined design is attractive and can be folded to a minimum to make it easy to carry and use in search fields. The search coils are waterproof up to 1 meter under water, and the main unit (control box) is waterproof and included with rain cover
