Good video - each detector has different quirks and Vanquish and Equinox are similar in the way they can almost fool on ferrous - the almost great tone on ferrous is clearly shown here - great vid. (p.s. in the title - no apostrophe in cows)
It can be frustrating at times but I went through the same scenario but I got the proper digging shovel and hand tools and it’s sooo much easier plus having a wand to locate the item in the hole or plug is a game changer for us diggers!
As a newbie, this was VERY useful! I’ve got a 340 and the dual tones were really confusing me and was digging A LOT of iron compared to good stuff!! Great vid! Thank you!
You can use jewelry mode with iron notched out, fot the best results. And if you have doubt about tones (intrerupted or dropping sound), you can turn on iron with one press on the horseshoe to validate if is iron or not (id from 0 to -6). Dual tones like 12-1, or 1-12, or maybe 1-10, 13-1 can be something like wire (i found wired gold ring with dual tone 1 and 10) so they are worth digging. Good luck!
Great vid. New to the V540. And making alot of the mistakes you've mentioned. Quite annoying. However not as annoying as that mode of filming. Was doin my head in.😂 But great tips. Thanks
Great video Shane 🙌💥🤩 loving the tips ! Just got mine couple weeks ago my 540 ... I like the low iron bias so can hear if it’s iron ! 😆 it does like a “rustic” screw or nail lol 😂 awesome machine doesn’t pick up coke at beach so happy days for me ... my ace 250 made coke sound amazing 🤩 haha 😆
Thanks man! I got my 540 about a month a go and I was on the same path too. I would recommend that you always kick on the iron to hear the quality of the tones as well. Great advice!
It shouldn’t pick up any iron but unfortunately any machine you have when your pushing its limit will pick up iron with a circle ⭕️ in it as it bounces the signal back and falses, you’ll also find iron with very sharp points give off a false tone every now and then normally very high tones.
@@TheStaffordshireSearcher Great, would be a good companion piece for comparison for a lot of new Vanquish owners. Hope you find some great stuff! Good luck!
You are exactly right, the reason being is when the target is very very deep Iv experienced a lot of jumpy targets or even iron tones on them and yet hammys or silvers have popped out of the hole.
They take a little learning the tones and noises but once you master it you’ll be able to identify the differences, and you will be able to keep up with the nox all Day long. Iron has a grunt on the machine and a find has a ping so it’s easy to tell between the two
Just bought mt first detector last week vanquish 540 spent 3 hrs on beach today digging junk mostly foil and iron, they are tricky to learn i hope i can identify whats good tones are soon, what settings for beach dry sand u reckon is best to eliminate trash and iron
just traded my old garrett euro ace 350 in today and bought a vanquish 540, took it out on the same piece of land where i had some coins and a ring last week and i'm wondering if i've made a mistake getting the 540, i've never dug so much old iron that i didn't see with the euro ace, the 540 may be a more advanced machine but for me at the moment it's a pain, i suppose i'll get used to it but the ace was easier to use i'm sure, hay ho, !!
Keep watching my videos you’ll get it buddy switch off all iron mode, I dig very very little iron now literally the odd tricky nail giving a silver signal that you just cannot ignore I have loads on this and if you really do struggle contact me directly and I’ll try to help the best I can.
@@TheStaffordshireSearcher thank's for your reply, i suppose i'll figure it out it just suprised how much crap i'de missed with the ace but with this new thing with all it's tech it's just a bit confusing at the moment, cheers buddy.
@@TheStaffordshireSearcher hi Shane once again, 7 months on and with the weather being so bad around here for a while not much digging done, in the mean time i got a couple of permissions within walking distance of my home and tried one of them the other day and found a two pence piece and an old horse shoe and an aching back for my troubles, the land is old farm pasture land on the moor top 1000 ft above sea level in west yorkshire and as far as i know it's always been used for grazing sheep and as such so i don't think i stand much chance of finding much of importence, but it's a start i suppose, i would like to pick your brains so if i could contact you directly it would be good as talking to the metal detecting dealers dosen't seem to get me anywhere, i'm only on face book on my computer as i don't have a smart phone, ( a digital age luddite i suppose ) if you want to contact me that way, or whatever, cheers.
I want to know what you would get, if you would swing a Nokta legend or a EQ 800/900 over some of these. I would bet 90% of time you would get an accurate reading. Isn't a juming id a sign of a bad detector, when there is one item in the hole.
Very helpful that mate.I’m still experimenting with those mid to high tones and I’m finding it’s exactly as you say..key is to dig them and get to know your machine…the 440 is class .only had it a month and one of my first finds was a 16th century farthing.size of a little finger nail but the tone was like big ben😂.👍👊
A friend has lost her platinum wedding ring in a small local park. What sort of tones and numbers might I expect on this when searching with my Vanquish 540?
Hello there Bro... just my opinion... there can be Gold by the Trash... unless Perhaps.. reading is about 1,2,3 iron tones consistently ... Could be an Iron Relic from way back. High Irion Tones.. That Rock looked like a Meteorite?.. even then, it all a Mystery...lol.. 🤠
@@TheStaffordshireSearcher I to have a Vanquish 540.. they are a Fantastic Detector.. when we watch you guys, we learn so much, Showing readings and which setting you are on, is a fast Track to understanding the Machine...had mine only about 4 months now... 🙂
