The Minelab Vanquish 560 Pro Pack is a dual-coil bundle built on Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency technology, shipping with both the V12x 12x9-inch elliptical coil and the V8x 8-inch coil for coverage flexibility across parks, beaches, and relic sites. The bundle includes the PRO-FIND 35 waterproof pinpointer with holster, Serious Detecting dig kit (finds bag, double-serrated digger, gloves), and ML60 wireless earbuds. This is the flagship configuration in the Vanquish 60 Series, targeting detectorists who want a complete ready-to-hunt system with no additional purchases required. Multi-IQ processes multiple frequencies simultaneously, so target IDs stay locked across mineralized soil, wet salt sand, and iron-dense ground without frequency switching or manual ground balance routines.

Multi-IQ Performance in Mineralized Ground and Wet Salt
Parks and Lawns
Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency transmission keeps target IDs stable as you move from dry turf to wet grass or cross patches of mineralized fill dirt. The 30-segment discrimination scale lets you notch out specific trash ranges while accepting coins and jewelry, and the five-tone audio system gives distinct pitch responses for ferrous junk, foil, nickels, copper, and silver-range targets. Iron Bias adjusts across four levels to suppress false signals from ferrous debris without blanking adjacent non-ferrous targets in dense iron ground.
Beach and Saltwater
The detector carries an IP68 waterproof rating for full submersion, opening wet-sand hunting, surf wading, and shallow-water recovery without equipment damage. Multi-IQ eliminates the target-ID drift that single-frequency machines experience in conductive salt sand, so high-conductors read clean if you're working dry sand or chest-deep in surf. The dedicated Beach mode optimizes ground balance and discrimination for saltwater environments.
Farm Fields and Old Homesteads
Field mode balances sensitivity and recovery speed for open ground with scattered iron, and the V12x coil's 12x9-inch footprint covers more area per swing than compact coils. The -19 to 99 target ID scale spreads non-ferrous targets across 99 positions, giving real separation between foil, pull tabs, nickels, and high-conductors so you can set precise discrimination thresholds rather than accepting or rejecting large chunks of the scale at once.

Dual-Coil Flexibility and Waterproof Pinpointing
- Swap between coverage and maneuverability: the V12x 12x9-inch coil covers open ground faster, while the V8x 8-inch coil fits tight spaces, trashy sites, and wading scenarios where a large coil drags in current.
- Pinpoint targets without switching tools: the included PRO-FIND 35 is waterproof to 10 feet, uses audio and vibration indication, and mounts on your belt in the supplied holster for instant access when you get a detector signal.
- Hunt longer without recharging: the internal lithium-ion battery delivers up to 10 hours of continuous runtime, and the USB-C magnetic charging cable connects without fumbling port alignment in the field.
- Reduce wrist fatigue on extended hunts: the detector weighs 2.6 lbs with the removable armrest and armstrap distributing load across your forearm, not just your wrist.
- Detect in low light or night hunts: the monochrome LCD carries both display backlight and keypad backlight, plus a built-in flashlight and vibration alerts when you're running silent headphones in public spaces.
