wltdwiz Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 hi all i just got a Vanquish 440 & took it down to my favorite super trash infested freshwater beach well i have used the nox here so good time to test the Vanquish when i first started out it chattered a lot due to the blanket of nails & bottle caps & heavy minerals (but it wasent picking the bottle caps up 😃) thats a good thing well i hunted a bit & the only thing i could do to calm her down was lower the sensitivity to around half as there's not to many adjustments to work with . the nox has quite a bit more control as i hunted i got more used to the sounds & hit this beauty a id bracelet 29 grams of 14 k gold at about 4 inches read 17 🎧 happy happy i finished my run & went up to the car & got my much loved excalibur to see how i could do with it well it was in a constant null on the iron but did ok on targets. then i decided to try a less trashed area downstream the Vanquish ran much better & i was able to put the Vanquish sensitivity up to around 3/4 ran smooth i was hunting along & i got a mid tone & a locked 7 on the vdi (wouldn't let it go ) ah ha says i gold 😎 & sure enough down 7 inches i get a 10 k ring ive hunted these beaches many time & i guess i missed this 1 theres more to the Vanquish than meets the eye & it has the dna from the nox i think its gonna be my new friend i love the turn on & hunt operation im thinking its a winner thanks minelab the V is for Victory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palzynski Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Very nice finds , yes the Vanquish serie are excellent in low to medium iron trashed areas . a little less on nail beds where they are are too chatty due to a lack of small irons filtering . But considering their prices they are all great values for money , either the 340, 440 or 540. Fun and very easy to use , and also very efficient machines , especially with the very good V10 coil ... btw I only use them inland , but I am not surprised by your excellent results with the 440 at the beach ...
