For someone like me doing their homework before buying their first detector this was a great video. I’m tossing up between the vanquish 540 and the equinox 800 and this video really helped. Many thanks

Just took my new vanquish 540 out for a few hours here in Belfast and the one thing i can tell is that its very good at hitting very small targets.

@BrassMedic 2 года назад

Thank you for your view and comment! I have spent enough time to say that this machine to be able to say I completely agree with you and as far as small jewelry at a playground, school yard, etc, this machine easily detects small earrings and necklace chains as good as any other machine I have ever used! Thank you again for tuning in from Belfast and best of luck to you!

Had mine for a few weeks I struggle with it all so.. it was just hitting false targets quite a lot > started talking to other people they didn't like the machine either > even my friend who has a RU-vid channel Sid from England history he had one sent to do a review even got to keep it but sold it a few weeks later because he said it wasn't a very good machine but said very sad because it's lovely looking machine very comfortable to use lightweight.. Anyways so basically I sold it > now I've got equinox 600 that machine is so much better.. But fantastic review even though it's a little old it's still and machine quite new on the market that people are going to want to watch the review I'm a new subscriber also.. Stay lucky 🤜🤛

Yes it does save the settings, all modern detector do this. The programs that come with the machine right out of the box are fantastic for coins.

Hey buddy I have an Equinox and a 540. I will be honest I have found just as much with the Vanquish as I did with the nox . I'm liking the shaft better too. Of course it hasn't as much controllability but I found with the nox I only used very few adjustments anyway. Just my thoughts.

@BrassMedic Год назад

Very tough to choose between those two. The Simplex+ can be closely compared to the Equinox 800. The cost difference between the two is pretty substantial, maybe try the Simplex first (they are very easy to sell used) then cross grade to a better machine down the road.

@arcturusbbqsausagemaking2435 3 года назад

Great review, Would this be a good all around detector for beach and relic hunting I live in Virginia and do alot of coin / relic a Jewelry Hunting, Im currently using a Whites Classic Id detector for the last ten years which I Really like ,Do you think that this detector you're doing a review on would be a better upgrade, Or do you think I should look further...Great review... just Subscribed

@BrassMedic 3 года назад

Thank you for your comment/question and for the subscription. Your budget is the biggest factor in choosing another machine to upgrade your Whites Classic ID. On the low end of budget I can highly recommend the Makro Notka Simplex machine, it would be a significant upgrade from your current machine plus fully waterproof, wireless headphones and incredible performance. At the next budget tier look at this machine, the Garrett Ace Apex and the Makro Kruzer. At the next budget tier look at the Minelab Equinox 800 or 600 and the XP Orx. At the top budget tier look at the Minelab CTX3030 or the XP Deus. Honestly the best machine out of all of these for what your doing is either the XP Orx or the XP Deus with the white high frequency round coil. Another incredible jewelry machine (maybe none better) is the Whites MXT!!! Hope this helps, for any more questions, find my email in the description of this video and feel free to ask away! Happy Hunting!

@BrassMedic 2 года назад

Hi Frank! So the coils are completely waterproof and can be fully submerged. But the control box is only water resistant and should not be submerged underwater. However should be fine if used in the rain or if a little water splashes on it. If your looking to go underwater completely in creeks you should look at other machines like the Notka Makro Simplex +. Thanks for the question and view, best of luck.

@robertrodriguez4858 3 года назад

I just purchased one. And when I swing it on the grass it make a lot of different noises. I noticed when you swing yours its quite. What do I need to do. Please advise. Thanks

@BrassMedic 3 года назад

Hi Robert, there could be many reasons for that. The obvious issues could be your swinging it in your yard in a neighborhood or an area where there is lots of below ground wiring or construction trash under your lawn. Another common issue is your swinging it over an area that has many metallic targets buried like an old homesite that burned down many years ago where in the fire, all the nails dropped straight to the ground and the machine is hearing all of them at once. Or if neither of those reasons, perhaps your soil conditions or very highly mineralized (red dirt) and your sensitivity is set too high for the unstable soil condition. As far as any other reason related to a setting or defect, this is rare but possible. But a good test would be to drive to an area where there should be no reason that any metal should be there and not in a neighborhood and try it there, it should be very quiet and stable, if not call your dealer and ask them if they can check it out for you. I'll be honest, I do live in an area with highly mineralized soil and because of that, it is rare that I can run any machine on full sensitivity without it making lots of chatter. Thank you for the question and for viewing the video!

@BrassMedic 3 года назад

Another thing to try is to change channels to block interference, there are 19 different channels to choose from.

@Guderian1939 2 года назад

I have just bought the vanquish 540 Pro pack. What's the difference between the 2 coils apart from size?

@BrassMedic 2 года назад

Thank you for your view and question. There are no differences other than size as they are the exact same in every way except size. They do have advantages over each other though. A smaller coil always has a benefit over a larger coil in that it doesn't expose itself to multiple targets all co-located in the ground due to its smaller footprint. This is advantageous because your circuitry is always trying to ignore iron such as nails so a silver coin surrounded by nails is difficult to hear with a large coil because the machine detects so many nails it can block the coin signal. You do lose depth but that is one advantage over a large coil where you get more coverage and deeper detection but at the cost of less target seperation. And lastly, let's not forget that there is an advatge in a smaller coil for its lighter weight, therefore easier to swing over time.

@BrassMedic 2 года назад

Terry, thank you for the view and question/comment! I think it was more about masking rather than depth so your right, an open screen and the 6" Coil should absolutely hear that 22 bullet. If you email me at the email address at the credits at end of video or in the description of video above. I can share my CTX3030 program and you can check it out in the Minelab XChange software. I don't remember exactly what program the CTX3030 was running on that day but my guess is "Cherry Pick" so that is a program with heavy discrimination. Thanks again!

I just picked mine up yesterday, your review was helpful. The only thing I want to know is what do the numbers mean? Is the lower numbers mean not strong signal or depth? Thanks

@splatcave3145 2 года назад

TBH ignore the display if it dings dig it

@BrassMedic Год назад

Great question, glad you bought one it's a fantastic detector and you will find many treasures with it. The numbers simply mean how much conductivity is in the metal. The lower the number the lower the conductivity of the metallic object under the search coil. So it's just used to give the user an idea of what Metal the object is made of (Gold, Silver, Copper, etc.) and specific numbers pertain to specific coins. For example a US Quarter is a 29 on that scale. Has nothing to do with the depth or signal strength, just simply the amount of conductivity in the metallic object. Thank you for the view and question! Best of luck 🤠

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

@BrassMedic 8 месяцев назад

Unfortunately that is proprietary information that the company does not share. Nor will they discuss which frequencies. My guess it 4. If someone had an oscilloscope, they could figure it out quick. Wish I knew the answer but thank you for the view and comment!

Price and where to buy reliable place

@richardhumphrys7907 9 месяцев назад

What about Lead. Because that a real problem whilst looking for Gold Nuggets.

@BrassMedic 9 месяцев назад

Yes, we typically find lots of lead when looking for gold and if your detecting small bullets and pieces of lead, you know your not missing much gold. They have very similar conductivity, in other words, if your hearing gold, your going to hear lead too and vice-versa. Thank you for the view and comment!

@daviddavey1727 3 месяца назад

Yeah, lead is just going to be part of the gold finding. So similar in conductivity and location

Was planning to purchase the Mine Labs Vanquish 440 here in my region. It will be on sale for $300 . So the only diffrance between the 540 and the 440 will be : The included Pin pointer, The Wireless Wi-Fi Headset and the Rechargeable batteries kit ? So can i upgrade my version 440 to a 540 by purchasing the same pin pointer , the same Batteries recharging kit and and adapter module kit with Wi-Fi headphones. Is there a site that you could recommend for buying these parts or is it even possible ?

@whitemanriding 2 года назад

All very good until the two sets of batteries won't fully charge and the control box cracks from shaft movement . I converted mine to straight shaft and I use Varta batteries . Minelab quality is really sad .

@BrassMedic 2 года назад

Thank you for the view and comment! Can you email me at my email address in the video description and show me what your talking about? Would love to see pics of the area that failed and any info you may have on the batteries! Yes, it's too bad that some machines need us to have to buy aftermarket "upgrades", I mean these machines are out in the rugged outdoors and getting swung, banged into obstacles, picked up and set down over and over and even dropped ocassionaly. Manufacturers need to keep this in mind when doing R&D and choosing materials, fasteners, etc. What good is a great circuit if it's housed in a platform built like a toy? I personally have not had any of these issues when using the Vanquish but as I said, I would sincerely appreciate any info you could share with me! Cheers, Mark 🤠

@agkbeatz 2 года назад

one more question, do u think is good for searching gold nuggets?

@BrassMedic 2 года назад

I would just say it's ok at detecting gold nuggets but the circuit is not designed to be good or great for small gold nuggets. I would suggest the Minelab Equinox 800, XP Deus or Garrett ATX for gold nuggets and all-around performance. But for just nuggets the Minelab Gold Monster 1000 is phenomenal at finding gold nuggets! But it's just for gold.

@Falling_Down_D-FENS 3 года назад

This detector has a ton of chatter, any tips?

@BrassMedic 3 года назад

Hello and thank you for the view, comment and question. There are 19 different channels available to noise cancel to. At least one of them will help tremendously to cut down chatter. Also useful if detecting near another detector to eliminate cross talk between machines. Lastly, you can lower the sensitivity, most metal detectors in most types of situations and ground can't operate quietly at full sensitivity. You should bring it down to where it makes the chatter and falsing of signals tolerable. Hope this helps, lmk if any other questions.
