Multi-IQ Technology

Why Multi-IQ? Because more performance shouldn’t mean more effort. Minelab’s proven simultaneous multiple frequency technology gives you the power of multiple detectors working for you at the same time. With Multi-IQ there's no switching frequencies, no second-guessing. Just turn it on and start finding. Coins, gold, jewellery. Parks, fields, beaches. No terrain's off-limits. No treasure’s left behind. All metals. All soils. All the time.

Iron Control

VANQUISH 540’s Iron Control gives you the power to adapt, with adjustable Iron Bias that lets you switch between High (default) and Low settings to tackle even the toughest soil conditions. Control how much junk to accept or reject so you never miss out on real treasure shining through.

Search Modes

Five powerful Search Modes, ready to go at the touch of a button. VANQUISH 540’s Coin, Relic, Jewellery and All Metal modes are optimised to find exactly what you’re after, wherever you hunt. Custom Mode saves your favourite settings, so you're always ready to hit the ground swinging.

True Tones

With 10 volume levels and five distinct target tones, VANQUISH 540 helps you detect by sound, not just sight. The more you listen, the more you’ll instinctively know what’s worth digging before you touch the ground.

Sensitivity and Discrimination

Not all ground is the same, and not all metals are worth digging. VANQUISH 540 puts you in control with 10 sensitivity levels to reach deeper targets and 25 discrimination segments to filter out junk. Sensitivity is like adjusting a hearing aid. Turn it up to detect faint signals sent from deeper targets or lower it to reduce background noise in tough ground. Silence metals you don’t want like bottle caps, while still hearing the good targets.

Long Lasting Power
Powered by 4 x AA NiMH rechargeable batteries (included)—detect longer, recharge easily and keep the hunt going.

Built to last and protected by a 3-year warranty.
