Minelab Vanquish 540 Metal Detector

The Minelab Vanquish 540 is a great starter detector. I found that it can detect metal items down to 8 inches or more, and I am starting to learn the differences in the VDI numbers. It seems to be pretty accurate. I have found various items from paper clips, pull tabs, cans, bullets, and some of them have been deep. I like that the detector can use rechargeable batteries. It runs for quite a long time on one set of 4 AA batteries. I also like that it can collapse down for easier storage and transportation. It does have pinpointing capabilities, but I purchased a pinpointer as well, and am happy with that purchase. The pinpointer is excellent. The Pro-Find 35 was unavailable, and Garry from Treasure Coast Metal Detectors reached out to me right away, and offered a comparable pinpointer from Quest. This pinpointer is great! It is USB rechargeable,very durable, and comes with a replacement o-ring and 2 protective tip caps. The power button takes a lot of force to push,but I'm okay with that. I think it may be built that way to ensure water tightness. Garry from Treasure Coast Metal Detectors provided excellent customer service, and prompt replies to any questions I had. The products were delivered right away. I highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a metal detector. Garry is very knowledgeable and personable, and enjoys getting people involved in this great hobby! Also, it is nice to support a Veteran-owned establishment.
