The Minelab Vanquish 560 Pro Pack is a waterproof multi-frequency metal detector bundled with dual coils, a Pro-Find 40 pinpointer, and a carry bag for detectorists who want a complete field setup.

This Pro Pack configuration ships with both the V12x elliptical coil for coverage and the V8x compact coil for tight-quarters work, the Pro-Find 40 waterproof pinpointer for fast target recovery, and a carry bag to haul it all.

Multi-IQ Performance Across Mineralized Ground and Saltwater
Parks and Lawns
The Vanquish 560 runs Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency transmission, so you detect coins, jewelry, and relics in one pass without switching single-frequency settings. Park mode balances depth and target separation for high-trash sites where pull-tabs and foil mask good targets. The 30-segment discrimination and five-tone audio give clear ferrous/non-ferrous feedback, and the V12x coil covers ground fast on open fields while the V8x compact coil threads between playground equipment and benches. Iron Bias adjusts across four levels to filter hot rocks and rusty nails without losing adjacent coins.
Beach and Saltwater
Waterproof construction lets you hunt surf lines, riverbanks, and lake shallows. Beach mode stabilizes Multi-IQ in wet salt, suppressing the false signals single-frequency machines throw on conductive sand. The control box, coils, and shaft seal to IP68, submersible to 16 feet, so you wade chest-deep or hunt after rain without hesitation. The Pro-Find 40 pinpointer included in this bundle is waterproof to 10 feet and gives ferrous tone ID, so you isolate targets in sand or gravel without hauling the detector back and forth.
Farm Fields and Old Homesteads
Field mode pushes depth on large targets in mineralized soil. Multi-IQ handles iron-heavy ground that single-frequency detectors struggle with, and the adjustable sensitivity (10 levels) lets you tune for hot soil or quiet sites. The V12x coil's elliptical footprint covers row crops and pasture efficiently. Ferrous volume control (10 levels) lets you quiet iron chatter on trashy homesteads while keeping good-target tones audible.
Complete Field Setup for Extended Hunts
- Dual-coil versatility: the V12x elliptical coil covers ground fast on open sites, and the V8x compact coil fits tight spaces and trashy lots, so you match the coil to the hunt without buying add-ons.
- Pro-Find 40 pinpointer speeds recovery: ferrous tone ID, audio and vibration indication, adjustable sensitivity, and waterproof construction to 10 feet let you isolate targets in sand, gravel, or mud without switching tools.
- Extended runtime on internal lithium-ion battery: the 560 runs up to 10 hours on a charge, and the USB-C magnetic cable recharges overnight, so you hunt all day without swapping alkaline packs.
- Lightweight build for long sessions: the detector weighs 2.6 pounds, and the removable armrest distributes load across the forearm, reducing wrist fatigue on multi-hour hunts.
- Carry bag and digger kit included: the Minelab carry bag hauls the detector, both coils, and the pinpointer in one trip, and the Serious Detecting kit adds a finds pouch, serrated digger with holster, and gloves for immediate field use.
