My Vanquish 540 pro pack has finally arrived at the minelab distributor in the Netherlands.

Iit is effectively a tweaked Equinox Beach 1 mode equivalent, weighted towards the low frequency portion of the spectrum).  

So if the Russians are right with the frequency range of 7.8 kHz / 13 kHz / 18.2 kHz / 39 kHz. You mean by weighted towards the low freq spectrum 7.8 kHz/13kHz? It does have 18.2kHz/39Khz though.

As a result, it is less optimized (or less hot) than Equinox for mid conductive targets (IOW not an ideal relic or small gold jewelry machine) and will hit silver and other high conductors well. 

How do you have come to that conclusion for not being a good relic machine?

On this website: https://ilovedetection.com/quest-ce-que-la-technologie-multi-iq/ they say Multi-IQ technology sends a spectrum of 3 different frequencies (low frequency, medium and high frequency) that ranges from 5 KHz to 40 kHz.

I wonder which 3 frequencies the have chosen.

Maybe the pro pack is indeed a bad idea considering the target market for the coil. The reason i was thinking of it is because in Europe the price for the standard 540 is 439 euro (490 dollars).  The 440 is 339 euro (378 dollars). You guys can get the 540 for that price haha. 

I have ordered the 540 pro pack. I am going to sell the 8 inch coil and ML 80 headphones. 

I will wait for more reviews coming out when the Vanquish is globaly released. For now the 540 is the best solution or a second hand nox. Only problem a second hand nox 600 still costs me 600 euro here. 

I already have a Makro Multi Kruzer wich is fine. But i want a cheap detector for in the German woods. I dont want to spend more than 300 dollars on it because of the chance of being confiscated. I dont want to lose a nox or kruzer.

The 340 and 440 only have high iron bias so it will try to discriminate out all iron. The 540 is the only model that has low iron bias setting and will let large iron through while still blocking nails.

So for my kind of ww2 relic hunting the 340 is useless. Maybe the Simplex is a better option.

Hello i have a question.  Is it possible to turn iron bias off? If iron bias is on high by default and you can't turn it off than it's a real shame. I want a cheap detector for hunting ww2 relics,  weapons and grenate shells. With only iron bias on high this detector is not the right one i think.
