Thanks for the honest review.I love my pro 35. No issues accessing the battery compartment at all. I have not had to replace the battery for well over 6 months now and I detect at least twice a week. I do however remove the battery when not in use. Good tip is to ground balance the pinpointer each time you turn it on, makes it even more effective and precise.
Thank you, sir, I bought a vanquish over the simplex. Never knew this video was on line took me two months to figure out , but very happy with my metal detector the vanquish Wish I would assault this video earlier thank you again I made the right choice
I have the Simplex and yes it is a very good beginner machine but when you take it to the beach . I have taken mine two different times put The ground balance to zero nothing I could do but stop the chatter . So it leads me to say I will be buying the Vanquish as my second Machine. I know you can’t go deep in the water with it , but I am in North Carolina farm Country and have lot of Fields , old abandon houses all around my house.
Awesome job! I don't remember who played who in the original sketch, but here you could see it - like in the flawless mimicking Palin in 05:23 (or Chapman in 08:15!) :)
Are you happy that your a vanquish sell out lol if anybody believes this guy's info don't he is a sales man for minelab. Just watch what he is trying to push
Sir this is an unfair test i bet mine lab sent you the vanquish your comparing the top vanquish at close to 500 dollars and the simplex at 300 dollars plz don't be fake we know so did they give you the 540 for free lol... Why don't you do the right comparison... The simplex and the 440 like everyone else does you sir are fake news
Loved how you used the spaghetti westerns to describe the positives and negatives of the pinpointer. I have the pro-35 but I think I’m going to buy a rechargeable pinpointer next time. I paid $20 for two 9 volt batteries today. Ridiculous
Entry level, the average person does not need much more. If it can find something six inches you are doing good, A lot of city, county, state and federal parks do not want to go down much more than six inches.
What settings you use on the beach with the vanquish 540 ? I just bought my first machine same as you having no joy as a newbie im digging all junk dont know if its me or this is a crap detector
All these comments and not one person has realised and mentioned that it's a Python sketch without any of the Python's actually being in it. Very strange of you all.
Peace be upon you. I want to buy the original Vanquish 540 Minilab. Is it made in the USA, Malaysia, Taiwan or Australia 💯💯 Thank you, a follower from Morocco. Thank you.
Hi, Big Dog..., Impressive video and excellent information and "Thank you" for sharing the video ! ! * I have both metal detectors and the Minelab Vanquish 540 Pro Pack runs circles around the Nokta Makro Simplex + in "highly mineralized soil", and ( lots of Iron ) in mining country in southwest Montana... Historic Uptown Butte, Montana is known for "The "Richest Hill on Earth" and proves it by its mining and highly mineralized soil with Iron... * I have found more of just about anything with the Minelab Vanquish 540 Pro Pack..., and less with the Nokta Makro Simplex +. * I had a backyard lawn sale and sold the Nokta Makro Simplex + and glad I did... Impressive video and very informative, and "Thank you" for sharing the video and tests... "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana :)
Mine is an absolute pile of junk. Falses on everything or absolutely no signal. I've used it a dozen times with many different batteries. Nope still a piece of trash.
I was specifically scouring RU-vid this morning to find a video to remind me how to open the battery compartment on my minelab pro 35. I need to open it because due to an injury, I can't MD for a while and I need to remove the battery that's already been in there for 2 years. Thanks for letting me know that it's NOT me! I will now head to the garage for my channel locks. 😡 I also just bought n new "lanyard" (a real one). Otherwise, I'm pretty happy with my pinpointer. Thanks for the review.
I have a quick question. Back in the late 80s. I bought a Whites Pro Plus, and for a few years I've found many coins. 100s of 1800s. Since, I've concentrated basically on my home, but now I'm thinking about getting back into M.D. I'm heavily considering the 540. They're surely lighter, but today's machines must easily out perform the machines from the 80s and 90s, right?
Though it looks like you’ve walked away from your channel, you need to edit out your crappy finds as it needlessly eats up your viewers’s time. That’s why I don’t follow channels like this. Cheers!
The cow bell's are likely for attaching to a fishing pole and rings when you have a fishbone the line. I have 2 that I sometimes use when I fish and they are modern of course. But those could be older styles. Update: I just realized some people already explained the bells. Lol!
