{"product":{"id":11010492629276,"title":"Minelab Vanquish 540 Pro Pack Multi-Frequency Metal Detector (Open Box)","body_html":"\u003cp\u003eThe Minelab Vanquish 540 Pro Pack is the two-coil, wireless-headphone version of the Vanquish 540, and at its current price it is one of the least expensive ways to get Minelab's Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency detection. It suits coin, jewelry and relic hunters who want a light, collapsible detector that runs on AA batteries and handles parks, farm fields and wet beach sand without manual ground balancing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eVanquish 540 Pro Pack or the newer Vanquish 560?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecide about water first. The Vanquish 540's coils are waterproof to 3 ft (1 m), but the control box is only water resistant under its included rain cover, so this is a wading-and-rain detector, not a submersible one. If you plan to hunt in the surf or dunk the whole machine, the \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/minelab-vanquish-560\"\u003eMinelab Vanquish 560\u003c\/a\u003e is IP68 rated to 16 ft, runs an internal lithium battery and uses Bluetooth LE Audio. If you would rather have two coils and wireless headphones in the box for less money, and the control box staying dry is not a problem, the 540 Pro Pack is the better value. Our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/detecting-prospecting\/minelab-vanquish-comparison-guide\"\u003eVanquish comparison guide\u003c\/a\u003e puts all six models side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the Vanquish 540 works in the field\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-IQ transmits several frequencies at once, so the 540 never asks you to pick a frequency or ground balance. Its five detect modes (Coin, Relic, Jewelry, All Metal and a Custom mode that saves your own settings) each apply a frequency blend suited to that kind of target. Target ID runs from -9 for iron to 40 for high conductors such as silver, across 25 discrimination segments, so you can notch out pull tabs and foil individually. Our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/detecting-prospecting\/minelab-vanquish-440-540-target-identification\"\u003eVanquish 440 and 540 target ID guide\u003c\/a\u003e shows where common US coins land on that scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIron Bias switches between High (the default) and Low. Run High in nail-infested parks and old house sites; drop to Low when you suspect good targets are being masked beside iron. Ten sensitivity levels, five target tones, ten volume levels and a five-level depth indicator round out the controls, and the red LED backlight keeps the display readable at dawn and dusk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo coils are the reason to buy this pack. The V12 12 x 9 in Double-D coil covers ground quickly in open fields and on beaches; the V8 8 x 5 in Double-D coil separates targets in trashy tot lots and around old foundations. Both are waterproof and swap in seconds; the bigger coil buys depth and coverage, the smaller one buys separation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio runs three ways: the built-in speaker, any wired 3.5 mm headphones, or the included ML 80 headphones over Bluetooth with aptX Low Latency so signals are not delayed.
