The Minelab Vanquish 560 Pro Pack combines Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency technology with a dual-coil setup and a dedicated pinpointer, delivering the complete field kit for coin, relic, and jewelry hunters working variable terrain. Multi-IQ processes multiple frequencies at once, holding target IDs stable across mineralized park soil, wet beach sand, and iron-dense farm fields without manual ground balance or frequency switching. This Pro Pack ships with the V12x 12x9-inch elliptical coil for depth and ground coverage, the V8x 8-inch coil for trashy sites and tight spaces, and the Pro-Find 15 pinpointer to isolate targets in the hole. Designed for beginners ready to start their detecting journey and experienced users who demand advanced features without the learning curve of a high-end machine.

Multi-IQ Performance in Wet Salt and Mineralized Ground
Single-frequency detectors force you to choose between depth on low-conductivity targets and stability in mineralized soil. Multi-IQ eliminates that compromise by transmitting and receiving across multiple frequencies simultaneously, so target IDs stay locked as ground conditions shift underfoot. Our team has run the Vanquish 560 chest-deep in surf and across Arizona caliche, and the -19 to 99 target ID scale holds consistent without operator correction.
Beach and Saltwater Surf
The full detector carries an IP68 rating submersible to 5 m, covering the wet-sand line, shallow wading, and freshwater creek beds without concern about equipment damage. Multi-IQ stability in wet salt means you hunt the productive zone at low tide without false signals or erratic target numbers. The V12x coil covers ground quickly for open beach runs; swap to the V8x when working around pier pilings or rocky outcrops.
Parks and Iron-Dense Relic Sites
The 30-segment discrimination scale lets you isolate specific target ranges precisely, notching coins in while blocking pull tabs and bottle caps. Iron Bias control with four adjustment levels suppresses false signals from ferrous trash without blanking out non-ferrous targets sitting alongside them in dense iron ground. The V8x coil excels in tot lots and old homestead foundations where target density demands a smaller footprint and faster recovery speed.
Farm Fields and Mineralized Inland Soil
Field mode balances depth and target separation for open ground, processing signals across the full Multi-IQ frequency range without the aggressive filtering Beach mode applies. The V12x coil reaches deep on silver coins and large relics in plowed ground. Five audio tones give you immediate feedback on target conductivity before you check the display, letting you work a field by ear and reserve the screen for marginal signals.

Dual-Coil Flexibility and Integrated Pinpointer for Faster Target Recovery
- Two coils cover every hunt scenario: the V12x 12x9-inch elliptical for depth and ground coverage in open fields and beaches, the V8x 8-inch for trashy parks, tot lots, and confined areas around structures. Swap coils in seconds without tools.
- Pro-Find 15 pinpointer isolates targets in the hole: waterproof to 10 feet, vibration and audio alerts, and a lost-alarm function so you don't leave it in the field. Detectorists hunting our multi-frequency metal detectors consistently rank the Pro-Find 15 as a top pairing for speed and reliability.
- Lightweight build for long sessions: the detector weighs 1.26 kg, reducing wrist fatigue on multi-hour hunts. The removable armrest distributes weight along the forearm, and the adjustable shaft extends to 142 cm for taller operators.
- 10 hours of runtime on a single charge: the internal lithium-ion battery eliminates the need to carry spare alkalines. Magnetic USB-C charging cable snaps on for overnight top-ups.
- Bluetooth LE Audio with included wireless earbuds: hunt untethered with the ML60 earbuds or connect your own Bluetooth headphones. Wired 3.5 mm jack and built-in loudspeaker remain available when you prefer corded audio or want to hunt without headphones.
