What the carry bag in this Minelab VANQUISH 340 bundle does

Minelab VANQUISH carry bag: a Minelab bag made for the VANQUISH detectors, so the 340 travels and stores in one bag with the shaft collapsed to 76 cm (30 inches). The bag is also sold on its own as the Minelab Black Carry Bag for VANQUISH, and other Minelab bags are in our Minelab carry bags and pouches collection.

About the Minelab VANQUISH 340

The VANQUISH 340 keeps Minelab's Multi-IQ technology simple. Multi-IQ transmits several frequencies at once, so there is no frequency to pick and no ground balance to set, and Minelab gives the 340 three search modes: Coin, Jewelry and All Metal. Controls are kept to four sensitivity levels, three volume levels and five discrimination segments, and targets read on a ferrous scale of -19 to 0 and a non-ferrous scale of 1 to 40 with a four level depth indicator. Three target tones help you judge a signal by ear: Minelab describes low tones for iron, mid tones for valuables such as gold and high tones for silver. Noise cancel is automatic and Iron Bias is fixed at High.

Search modes and water use on the Minelab VANQUISH 340

Minelab names the three modes for what you are after: Coin, Jewelry and All Metal. Minelab rates the V10 coil waterproof to 1 meter (3.3 feet); the rating covers the coil, so the coil can go into wet grass, puddles and the edge of the water while the control box stays dry. The replacement coil is the Minelab V10 10 x 7 inch Double-D, the coil the 340 ships with. Minelab's fully submersible VANQUISH models include the VANQUISH 360 and VANQUISH 460, both rated IP68 to 5 meters (16 feet); the table below compares them with the 340.

Weight, shaft and power

Minelab lists the VANQUISH 340 at 1.2 kg (2.6 lb). The shaft extends to 145 cm (57 inches) and collapses to 76 cm (30 inches) for a car trunk or a closet. Power comes from 4 AA alkaline batteries, which are in the box. Audio comes through the built-in loudspeaker or any wired headphones with a 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) plug; wired options are in our metal detector headphones collection.

Getting started with the Minelab VANQUISH 340

The 4 AA batteries are in the box, so the VANQUISH 340 is ready once the shaft is extended. Pick Coin, Jewelry or All Metal and one of the four sensitivity levels; the three target tones and the -19 to 40 Target ID scale then tell you what is under the coil. Our VANQUISH 340 getting started guide walks through assembly and the first hunt.
