Hades Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Iffy Signals Nov 29, 2019 - Minelab Vanquish 540 Depth & Recovery Test with 8" Coil 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 iffy signals also did a Nokta/Makro Simplex+ vs Garrett AT Pro video. When asked on YouTube what he thought of Simplex vs Vanquish, read below..... “MD Melbourne15 hours ago Quite a nice detector iffy, In your opinion what do you prefer this or the simplex? REPLY Iffy Signals 15 hours ago Hey Jim, i prefer the Minelab because of the multi freq and the 5 tones in all modes. Simplex is stuck in two tones for there deep mode. Vanquish has 5 tones for all modes. Anyone who likes the Equinox will most likely like the Vanquish. Other than the fact that it looks like a Fire Truck ?. Take care bud.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily a universal sentiment. I like the Equinox but of the two value machines, personally prefer the Simplex because, unlike the Vanquish, it is different than the Equinox which I already own. The case could be different for someone who doesn't already have an Equinox. Of course, neither are it's equal. Apples and oranges. [For clarity regarding the referenced quote above - Note that Steve is quoting "iffy signals" so I am referring to the iffy signals' quote which may or may not have anything to do with how Steve feels about Vanquish] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Herschbach Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Yeah well this is a Minelab forum and you Nokta/Makro fanboys should just stay over on your own forum! My feeling about Vanquish is it nailed it's design goal - choice between Garrett Ace and Vanquish is a no-brainer. Between Vanquish and Simplex I choose Equinox, best of both worlds.

I do love that little coil, I wish they made that for the Nox too. I guess it is just a mini-me of the Nox though. The guy in the video bought that Vanquish at a place called Dicks Sporting Goods on a black Friday sale so they obviously do have some on sale in the USA. Yep the Equinox loves large pieces of iron and frequently they ring in @ 13. Oddly I've noticed the audio is different on iron vs say a nickle, dull on iron brighter on nickle. Hard to explain, you just have to experience it, I'd assume it's the same on the Vanquish. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
