The Minelab Vanquish 560 Pro Pack is a complete Multi-IQ metal detector bundle built for detectorists who want the flagship Vanquish 60 Series performance with two coils, wireless earbuds, and a carrying system included. Multi-IQ transmits across multiple frequencies simultaneously, producing stable target IDs in mineralized soil, wet salt sand, and iron-dense relic sites without frequency switching or manual ground balance. This Pro Pack ships with both the 12x9-inch V12X elliptical coil for depth and coverage and the 8-inch V8X coil for tight-quarters trash separation, plus ML60 wireless earbuds and a Minelab backpack for field organization. As an authorized Minelab dealer, we back every unit with the full three-year manufacturer warranty and free shipping on every order.

Multi-IQ Performance Across Mineralized Ground and Salt Beaches
Wet Salt Beaches and Surf Zones
Multi-IQ eliminates the ground-phase instability that single-frequency VLF machines produce in conductive saltwater sand. The Vanquish 560 transmits and receives across multiple frequencies at once, so target IDs stay locked on coins and jewelry in the wet-sand transition zone and shallow surf without the false signals or target masking typical of single-frequency operation in this environment. The machine carries full submersion capability, opening chest-deep wading and target recovery in moving water.
Iron-Dense Relic Sites and Old Homesteads
Multi-IQ processes ferrous and non-ferrous targets simultaneously across the frequency spectrum, producing cleaner separation between a colonial button and the surrounding square nails than a single-frequency machine can deliver. The 560 runs four levels of Iron Bias to suppress false ferrous signals without blanking adjacent non-ferrous targets, and the 30-segment discrimination scale lets you notch specific target ranges with precision rather than accepting or rejecting broad conductivity bands.
Mineralized Inland Soil and Hot Ground
Single-frequency detectors require manual ground balance adjustments as mineralization shifts across a hunt site. Multi-IQ automatically compensates for ground-phase changes, maintaining stable target IDs from dry turf to red clay to black sand without operator intervention. Our team has run the Vanquish 560 across Arizona caliche and Georgia red clay without recalibration, and target numbers hold consistent as soil conditions change underfoot.
Dual-Coil System for Coverage and Trash Separation
- Two hunt-ready coils cover different site demands: the 12x9-inch V12X elliptical coil delivers depth and ground coverage for open fields, fairgrounds, and beaches, while the 8-inch V8X coil tightens target separation in trashy parks, tot lots, and high-density relic sites where multiple targets sit within inches of each other.
- Submersible coil construction to the full detector rating: both coils carry the same waterproof specification as the control box, so you can swap between them mid-hunt without losing the ability to work shallow water or wet sand.
- Tool-free coil changes in the field: the Vanquish cam-lock system lets you swap coils without wrenches or hardware, so moving from the large coil to the small coil takes seconds when site conditions shift from open ground to concentrated trash.
- Included coil covers protect the windings: both the V12X and V8X ship with fitted coil covers that guard against rock strikes, abrasion, and impact damage during transport and use.
- Wireless audio eliminates coil-cable snag: the ML60 Bluetooth LE earbuds pair directly with the detector, so there is no headphone cable to catch on brush, fences, or the coil cable during tight-quarters hunting or when switching between coils.
