This and fishing must be one of the very best gentleman's hobbies

Nice review. Very sad to hear that Des passed away on 12th June. Always had a lovely manner about him. I am sure he had plenty more to share with us. Happy hunting wherever you are Des 👍

Thanks for all your info over the years to the metal detecting community!......I always enjoyed your content!.....God bless you and rest in peace!

So sorry to hear of Des's passing. A true gentleman . R.I.P. Dessi

I love the fact that the coil moves, especially for hilly ground !!!

Thanks for all your knowledge Des . Rest in peace to you , hope you are happy hunting in Heaven. Sad loss to the hobby.

I did the same as you and didn’t buy the pro pack, but I did spend the extra 99$ and get the V8 8x5 coil for woods and trashy areas… and I’m glad I did😀 happy digging!

Shoutout from wexford des i just ordered mine last night cant wait

RIP my friend.....youll be sadly missed.

Des was a legend i used to love hearing his knowledge of detecting RIP

Looks like a decent machine, another enjoyable video.

Merci Des de nous avoir fait profiter de vos connaissances . Reposez en paix .

Nice work Des! Pretty fair review. I grabbed a 440 for myself, mainly to get the smaller 10" coil. Be perfect for my son who sometimes tags along. Switch on and go, doesn't really get any easier than that!

I love my Vanquish 440 together with the XP mi/4.

I purchased the 540 Pro Pack because I wanted the wireless head phones and wanted to upgrade from my Garrett Ace 400. I went to an area I have metal detected before and found a ton of coins that the Ace 400 missed. Why... I really don't know. I also found an unfired .357 round and a .22 casing. The Vanquishd is quiet and extremely accurate. Did not get any false signals while swinging. Well.... I sold my Ace 400. Good bye! One reason I purchased the Vanquish 540 was because of your review. THANK YOU.... Keep up the wonderful videos. Update: If you use the wireless headphones, it will use a lot of battery life. Very nice metal detector.

Pal, I've been trying to decide whether to buy the 440 or 540. You just helped me make my decision.

Just found your review of the Vanquish. RIP Des.

i’ve got the 540, the pinpointer mode is awesome and so accurate

Agree with Detecting Quest.Nice bloke Desi...........

Awesome review, thank you for sharing I just Subscribed!

Thaks for the video, it's really nice the information. Ciao.

Good and useful video👍😉

Cordial saludo amigo excelente video desde el norte de Colombia colega exitos

It goes quieter when targets deep

I run all minelab and simplex and i bought the V340 just to try it out and boy does it like tiny deep stuff, i have nwver dug so many 1.77 air pellets lol vut sure loves deep silver,, only problem i have is like you say, depth. I myself like to know how deep stuff is and with the vanquish doesnt give me that, everything is slamming but hay for 200 quid MULTI IW super simple to use ypu cant go wrong, be nice if it was waterproof and bit better made but you pay for whst you get Thanks for sharing HH

I liked your review. I'm a beginner and live in a very sandy area near a large lake. Was wondering if you'd recommend the 540 for a beginner? Have you tested this in sandy soil, fresh water beaches, and in fresh water? If so how did it perform?

Rip to des a irish man from not sure where in ireland but enjoyed the videos

Thank you for your unbiased review! Love from Kansas! US

Mr Dunne I'm considering a vanquish for my daughter to he only concern is if it's nose heavy like an at pro she might not be happy using it excellent video thank you g

Would love to know what the large copper coins were. Year, and value stamped. Market value icing on the cake. But year and denomination please.

Vanquish 540 its quality 👍😉😉

Merci pour votre vidéos

great informative cideo

Rest In Peace my friend

great video if you are still looking for a wireless headphone the Sound Blaster JAM V2 on-ear Bluetooth 5.0, aptX Low Latency works great with the 540 and cost 50 euro,s

RIP Des 😪

what is the purpose of the clear plastic in the corn field?

Nice hunt! I have been using my 540 for about a month now,and have some decent finds. But i really need to do some test on masking in ground around iron,,i really feel like it is missing a lot,,got a feeling its only finding those good targets when no iron is present,but i could be wrong,,i am so use to single freq. So use to a target ID range that goes up to 100. I feel i am a better detective on that choice range. What are you're feelings on the 540 ? does it leave doubting?

Thanks for the review, Des. It's a shame to put out such a beautiful machine yet overlook something as simple as a decent bolt for the coil. I'm fortunate to still have a spare that you mailed me with the coil & shaft a few years ago. - Cheers

friend the Minelab Vanquish 540 how many frequencies transmits??????

what would you prefer this model or the ace 400 ?

Many prospects areas in my place from WW2 ,the problem is no gold detector.. Just 2 meters.

May he rest in peace

Хороший коп, лайк!

RIP 🙏

Hi , In your opinion how does it compare to the Explorer 2 ?

So the vanquish came out after the Equinox series? The multi IQ technology is a form of multifrequency, but what range of Khz does it utilize?

Try the equinox. Class machine

Maybe you could balance it with some weight on the armrest?

hi des i am new to metal detecting and i got the ace 400i . i looked at your video of the ace 400i on the beach it beeps alot at nothing i i see. would a more expensive model avoid beeping at nothing ?

Good

I am a newbie in your hobby's field, and I watch you (almost) racing across the field, in what my untrained eyes ask... aren't you missing many potential hits, walking too fast? Is your detector good for sensing metals. outside of your sweep pattern? I would miss too many items, walking/sweeping as fast as you do.

RIP Desi...

Hello better vista x or vanquish 540? which is deeper

R.I.P

RIP Des

Ditch the minelab batteries and replace with varta 2600 . Much better battery .

12" too big!!??🤣🤣

Who cares if it doesn't have automatic ground balance or manual ground balance it's junk

You must be new at medal detecting Your missing half the ground

Waste of money.. too much voice
