  • Awesome Value and Working Metal Detector For Amateur +
Getting another detector as have moved to a different place. Out in the country and many interesting places to hunt. Great reviews on this Minelabs Vanquish 540. Liked that it had a larger 12x9 double D coil. Most units in this price range come with 8" oval. The bigger the coil the better. Assembly was highly intuitive and was together in 5 minutes. Came with rechargeable batts & charger. Wanted to use faster so popped in 4 AA alkalines. Has start-up settings that are good and easily adjustable on the fly. Tested in yard and the 540 quickly and accurately found a gold ring, penny, dime, quarter and silver half dollar that I buried at 6 inches. Item Match correctly identified each item with a corresponding Target Number. Will be easy to spot gold, silver and coins for sure. Tech has advanced in recent years and this ML V 540 works better, is easier to use and lighter than the Garrett AT Gold I had a several years ago and at $200+ less cost. I'm very happy with it and can't wait to hit the field. Quick Start Guide only. Full manual is readily findable on the web. ... show more

  • Great for beginners!
I'm a newbie to the hobby, and I am really glad that I picked this metal detector for my first. We live in the Pacific Northwest, and so mineralization is a thing here - this detector does the ground balancing for you - one less techno-geek thing I need to understand before I get started. I've only been able to get a few hunts under my belt, but so far, so FUN! I absolutely love that you can push a button to "tune out" iron and other ferrous metals, as there seems to be a lot of that where I've been hunting. It's very lightweight, which I needed because I don't have a lot of strength and/or conditioning in my arms. Even this one gets heavy after a while, but I just switch hands and I'm good to go. I love that it's adjustable, since I'm only 5'2". The red is snazzy, too - not that the color matters in terms of performance but....snazzy. I was a little bummed that it only came with a quick start guide, but I was able to find the full owner's manual online, and read it on my phone on PDF. I would have preferred something printed in a book for me to take with me that I could pull out and refer to, as I'm not really wanting to try to look at my phone and read a PDF in the field. ... show more

  • Worked Great
Being the boy at heart I am at 56 I had to try out my new “toy” right away. I went down to the park nearby and immediately found a sterling silver earring. Amazing! My old metal detector was not good at filtering out the stuff you don’t care about like bottle caps, screws and the like. I love how this has a button to hone in on “pinpoint” where the treasure is. Once I find enough treasure to pay for it I’m going to upgrade to a higher model but this one is light years ahead of what I had before! ... show more

  • New to hobby
I have used a cheap random named metal detector in the past I purchased off amazon that seemed to work ok in terms of locating metal but not at all accurate in what kind. I have really enjoyed using this one. Very easy to use with simple instructions. Seems to be great on batteries. I have made some interesting finds with it and it detects very deep. ... show more

  • Great value
This is my first metal detector. I don’t think it will be my last but it seems like a great value so far. I’ve detected coins 1ft below the surface The readings can be kinda hard to figure out. Not sure if that’s inexperience or if a better machine would be easier to read. I’m really liking the oval head seems like it makes things easier to pinpoint. Wish the display was higher quality I feel like I’m going to end up breaking it at some point. ... show more

  • Reliable detector that has a long-lasting battery life.
I have been very satisfied with this detector. It has nice feedback, a water protective sleeve, easy to read the LCD monitor, it consumes very little energy, so the battery life is awesome, and you can customize the desired detection ranges and metal types. I've used this at the beach, in parks, private property (with permission), and abandoned sites. With this detector, I've found an old toy I played with as a kid, several iron ore and lead deposits, a good bit of magnetite, a 1942 penny, and some pins/rings. I don't have time to use if often, but when I do I have so much fun! ... show more

  • Great out of the box and customizable for the more adventurous souls.
I just bought a farm with some historical relevance and wanted a metal detector to see what fun stuff I could find. I have zero prior experience, and was able to pop the batteries in and head out, having read nothing but the basic quick-start guide included (5 minutes tops). As I've progressed in my knowledge (and eleventy bazillion dug-up nails later) I've started branching out into the more customizable aspects so I'm now able to save my time (and back) digging up more fun stuff and fewer nails. I highly recommend this for newbies and the more sophisticated hunters alike. Everything has been exactly as described in the listing. ... show more

  • Great unit
Works well. Easy to use. Just had to get used to the sounds which are different from our other machine.
