MINELAB VANQUISH 540 TESTS
Comments Pros What an excellent detector Not far behind the Equinox in terms of performance, just not quite as deep on bigger Deep items Very easy to use and to set up, Discrimination is excellent. Never ever used a detector before that gives you an acute ID number no matter how faint the signal or how deep it is Most detectorists would never really need anything else Cons None yet ! |

|
DEPTH TESTS The depth tests are set up to gauge the power of the detector, all iron is removed from the hole. Various size items are buried at good depths |

YES |
YES |
||
|
CAN A GET A SIGNAL FROM A 20 PENCE BURIED AT 8’’ 2 NAILS SITTING ON TOP OF COIN |
YES |

YES |
YES |
||
|
COKE/SENSITIVITY A few low conductive targets will give the same signal as Coke , so if you are rejecting Coke you may miss them |

YES |
YES |
||
|
CAN A GOLD CHAIN BE FOUND WHEN COKE IS NOT REJECTED |
YES |
YES |
||
|
