MINELAB VANQUISH 440 Metal Detector

My first "Real" metal detector. I reviewed a bunch of other one, asked AI and did my own research. This one had the features I wanted without being very expensive. I did have to buy a pinpointer (X-Pointer) but otherwise this is the real deal. Not a toy but a real machine.

I really liked the quality and the price. The assembly process was very easy. I've started using it a little and it seems to work fine, it picks up and identifies metals fairly easy. I haven't found anything valuable yet but I know this equipment will do the job.

Easy to put together works great. Would buy again

Seems easy to handle and will be fun with the grandchildren following pappy around for the treasures

I bought this for my husband. He loves it! And he says its so accurate with treasures he has found. It helps him to stay active since we are both retired and getting up there in age! It is all light weight but sturdy. It was a good investment. I may get me one next!

Great metal detector for the price. Discovered many coins and artifacts in old farmsteads. Only negative is that the control display is not waterproof. Automatic ground balance works okay in heavily mineralized soils. Reaches fairly deep on coins and other small items.

Does a great job near the ocean. Seems to be pretty reliable and accurate. Pin pointer is a little glitchy tho.

Had trouble adjusting to select targeted items

It seems to be the best out of the 540,440,340 series. It detects around 16 inches into the ground. But does give inaccurate readings.
