About this deal

Probably the most exciting feature of the Vanquish Series, which puts it way ahead of others in its price range (and above), What sets Multi-IQ apart from other so-called multi-frequency systems is that it is true Simultaneous multi-frequency. That is you are transmitting and receiving on all supported frequencies at the same time as opposed to selecting just one frequency from a given range to use at any one time, which is probably better described as switchable frequency. Switching frequency is effectively like swapping one single frequency coil for another, without physically swapping it. With Minelab's simultaneous multi-frequency it's like using all your coils in one sweep of your machine. Three Simultaneous Frequencies As with all the Vanquish metal detectors, the 440 is not fully waterproof. The coil is submersible up to 3.3 feet, but the control box is only water resistant and should not be submerged.

Waterproof: All Vanquish models have waterproof coils, but only the coil, the control box is definitely not … Thus you can’t submerge them underwater … However, the Nox 600 and 800 could be submerged underwater up to 10 feet … Thus you can do some underwater detection if you want to! This allows the metal detector to operate on multiple frequencies simultaneously. This detector uses frequencies of 5 kHz, 10 kHz, 15 kHz, 20 kHz, and 40 kHz. The lower frequencies are best for finding metals like silver. The higher frequencies of this detector will make it better for finding small or fine gold than the Simplex +. Gold is best found at frequencies above 18 kHz, so this detector will have more chance at finding small gold nuggets and fine jewelry. Unlike the Vanquish 540, which is only water resistant, the Simplex+ is fully submersible up to 10 feet (like the Equinox series). The Simplex+ also has Bluetooth connectivity and can be used with wireless headphones, like the 540. Metal detector Minelab Vanquish 340, Vanquish 440, and Vanquish 540 have had their first firmware update. As the developers say, VANQUISH 540 has become more effective. A new setting, Iron Volume Control, was introduced. It will allow controlling the iron volume you’d like to hear and make trashy and mineralized soil easier for metal detecting. Please note all delivery costs stated below include VAT for the UK, all other destinations exclude VAT** United Kingdom - MainlandAlways clean off the metal detector with warm water and a soft cloth after being at the beach. It helps prevent a salt buildup on any parts.

Of all the lower priced VLF metal detectors out there, the Nokta Makro Simplex is one of my favorites. As with the Vanquish line, the Simplex+ is designed to be an affordable entry level or intermediate metal detector. The Simplex+ is the first entry from Nokta Makro in the entry level field and this detector is very easy to use. This machine can be used on any terrain, and we will test it on a beach first. However, considering that the air always has more moisture by the ocean, it’s a clever idea to use the included waterproof cover when going to the beach. The metal detector’s box states that it has an iron bias, which should mean more treasure and less trash, but it should be put to the test regardless. Many metal detectors claim to have iron bias so let’s see how the Vanquish 540 did.Small: 8*5 inches Double-D in case you are seeking for more sensitivity regarding smaller targets … However, this coil won’t cover lots of space and couldn’t go very deep. The beach is where the it seems to excel. It’s highly stable and performs optimally. A great feature of this metal detector is that you can hide bottle caps or crown corks. They show up in the iron area, but you can completely eliminate them by selection. Metal detector models 340 and 440 require 4 AA batteries as a power supply, while model 540 has battery accumulators included as well as a charging device for them. It is a good idea to always have a pinpointer on hand to detect depth and exact location. Pinpointing always minimizes digging time, especially if you are unsure that the Vanquish 540’s pinpoint mode is not giving you accuracy. What sets Multi-IQ apart from other so-called multi-frequency systems is that it is true Simultaneous multi-frequency.
