Minelab Vanquish 540 on Field Test 

Nice review. Very sad to hear that Des passed away on 12th June. Always had a lovely manner about him. I am sure he had plenty more to share with us. Happy hunting wherever you are Des 👍

I purchased the 540 Pro Pack because I wanted the wireless head phones and wanted to upgrade from my Garrett Ace 400. I went to an area I have metal detected before and found a ton of coins that the Ace 400 missed. Why... I really don't know. I also found an unfired .357 round and a .22 casing. The Vanquishd is quiet and extremely accurate. Did not get any false signals while swinging. Well.... I sold my Ace 400. Good bye! One reason I purchased the Vanquish 540 was because of your review. THANK YOU.... Keep up the wonderful videos. Update: If you use the wireless headphones, it will use a lot of battery life. Very nice metal detector.

So sorry to hear of Des's passing. A true gentleman . R.I.P. Dessi

This and fishing must be one of the very best gentleman's hobbies

You must be new at medal detecting Your missing half the ground

Pal, I've been trying to decide whether to buy the 440 or 540. You just helped me make my decision.

Ditch the minelab batteries and replace with varta 2600 . Much better battery .

friend the Minelab Vanquish 540 how many frequencies transmits??????

RIP my friend.....youll be sadly missed.

It goes quieter when targets deep

Thanks for all your info over the years to the metal detecting community!......I always enjoyed your content!.....God bless you and rest in peace!

I love the fact that the coil moves, especially for hilly ground !!!

Thanks for all your knowledge Des .

I did the same as you and didn’t buy the pro pack, but I did spend the extra 99$ and get the V8 8x5 coil for woods and trashy areas… and I’m glad I did😀 happy digging!

Shoutout from wexford des i just ordered mine last night cant wait

Looks like a decent machine, another enjoyable video.

I love my Vanquish 440 together with the XP mi/4.

Merci Des de nous avoir fait profiter de vos connaissances . Reposez en paix .

Nice work Des! Pretty fair review. I grabbed a 440 for myself, mainly to get the smaller 10" coil. Be perfect for my son who sometimes tags along. Switch on and go, doesn't really get any easier than that!

Des was a legend i used to love hearing his knowledge of detecting RIP
