Minelab Vanquish 340

Product Information

One thing I should mention. None of the Vanquish line are waterproof, or even showerproof come to that. The coils are of course waterproof but the control boxes are not. Minelab did disingenuously state on the box that the Vanquish is showerproof but what they mean by that is ONLY with the pull on control box cover which comes in the box. It does the job but don’t go dropping your machine in the water! Search Modes: you’ve got 3 (Coins, Jewelry and All Metal) and that’s it … There is no custom mode that could be beneficial once you learn the machine fully, but this remains a good thing for beginners or those who like to keep things simple.

Their Post sale services are great! If you are not pleased with what you’ve got they will find a way to satisfy you … Depth Indicator Levels: Will allow you to estimate the depth of your target … Each level is about 2 and half inches … Thus, you won’t need to dig a deeper hole to extract your find. Fourthly, you get a bluetooth compatible machine that allows you to connect to the Minelab application. And fifthly, the system is rechargeable. Looking at how I use a metal detector and where I use it I could confidently say the Vanquish 340 would do the job and do it probably just as well as my Equinox 600. If you are someone new coming into the wonderful world of metal detecting, you’ve arrived at a great time where detecting technology has made a breakthrough with multi frequency detection.Now anyone can harness the unrivaled power of Multi-IQ, with easily selectable pre-set detecting modes, already set up and tested by Minelab experts. Battery: the 540 comes with rechargeable batteries instead of replaceable ones that the 440 and 340 have. Sensitivity: Instead of 4 levels, you’ve got in this one 10 levels … This will give you the possibility to be sensitive to even smaller targets.

To cut the long story short, it seems that for the first time in the last 10-15 years the market of metal detectors experiences a real revolution, and the Vanquish series is a big chunk of this revolution. Now, let’s see what interesting features this revolution brings. You get four Sensitivity Levels on the 340, six less than the 440 and 540. But chances are you’ll be pleased with how well you can adjust the device’s sensitivity for many conditions in which you seek your action. You can also use rechargeable batteries to help you avoid the cost of regularly buying new batteries. Features You can read more about coil types and how they work in my article on metal detector coil types here. Who is the Minelab Vanquish aimed at?You shouldn’t have issues detecting coins near large metal structures, even five inches from your spot. I would have to say that the Minelab Vanquish Series of machines will overrun the market for these types of metal detectors. Price and Multi-IQ are the game changers in my opinion. But many Garrett Ace owners will stand by their machines.

As you can see, the Vanquish 340 and 440 are 1 pound lighter than the Ace 250 and 300. Not much of an advantage for this comparison but Minelab does have a slight advantage. What Type of Batteries Does Each Metal Detector Come With? Press the Search Mode button with the magnifying glass icon to to toggle through the Coin, Jewelry, and All-Metal mode. You must cycle through the options to return to a missed choice.Navigating the three Search Modes with their unique Discrimination Patterns on the Vanquish 340 is intuitive. Larger Coil: Still a Double-D one, yet it is a larger one with 12*9 inches of dimensions… This will make the machine about 0.3 pounds (100 Grams) heavier (not significant I would say …) yet this will allow you to cover much more space while detecting.
