Hi, my name is Merrill Kazanjian. New York City is an amazing place to go metal detecting. We have lots of parks, colonial history and great beaches for beach detecting. I have gone to all five boroughs of New York City To Metal Detect and beyond. I also currently own 16 metal detectors. I want to have the best and I want to help you choose the best as well. Below I will showcase some of the playlists on this channel:

Why do you keep turning all these detectors up to max sensitivity? 😠 That will throw every one of them off... to compare nuts and bolts, all of the detectors should be taking the same test!!! I guarantee that I'll score much higher on a 6th grade math test than a college final

I've been trying to find out... through research & a email to Minelab. What frequencies does the Vanquish 540 use? Research for Vanquish frequencies ... revealed nothing. My email to Minelab... did. Sorta. But not exactly I don't think. I'll give you my answer I got from ML.;;;; William, Thank you for your email. The frequency range for the Vanquish is the same as Equinox 5khz - 40khz. Vanquish will only run in multi, and as we do with the Equinox, we do not share what frequencies are being run when in multi. Equinox frequencies vary in multi, based on the mode. For Vanquish, the set of frequencies is the same in all modes, however the recovery speed changes. Coin mode recovery would equal 5 on Equinox, Jewelry would equal a 4, and relic and all metal equals a 2. Please let me know if I can supply further information. Deb

37:06 very impressive showing by the Equinox. I've tried this with every detector I have and they can't separate this well even with smaller coils (5 X 10). The fact that it can cleanly pick up the quarter in this situation with a BIG coil is an eye opener. For some people this might not be important but if you hunt super polluted areas like me where old coins can be found, awesome separation is a game changer. Thanks for making this video. I was tempted by the Vanquish initially but this small segment has me aiming for the Nox now.

@daddski1 3 жыл бұрын

A few things, 1. update the software. They have a fix and update that gives it superman powers lol. (the 540) 2.Start it up with the search coil sitting on the ground. This fixes a lot of your "chatter" Other than that I think it is a great machine. Fir the price you can't beat it. ( I have the 540 pro pack) I also use the 10 inch head I got with the 440. I silicone the battery door and wrap the head so it is more water proof than from the factory. Anyway, It is a great machine and for the money I do not know of anything better , especially since you can also find gold with it, even some less than a gram pieces show up quite often. Stuff my 800 completely misses. That is saying something I think. It also very often reaches down beyond 15 inches for silver and jewelry. My 800..about 9 to 11 seems to be its favorite spot. Not bad for a detector that costs half that price... Enjoy and have fun.

Im not sure when you powered on the vanquish but it does ground balancing and interference adjustments during power up. So if it is chatty you should power it down and power it back up with the coil on the ground where your searching. Also i have heard the 8 inch coil is way superior for trashy areas like parks. Also i am curious what software version were you using on the vanquish?

However, at 38:26 when you turned the 540 on, the coil was above the ground. Is this normally how you powered it on? Always have the coil touching the ground when turning it on as per the instruction manual. This can definitely affect the performance. And yes, I subscribed and keep the good vids coming! 😊

If you did I missed it. Bang for the buck , its not a bad little machine. Find a nice ring or two and buy a better machine if one feels the need. Swing it over something good and I'm sure it will let you know. Only down side I see is its not a waterproof machine . Consider all the targets you have dug with the Equinox . How many would have been within the range of the Vanquish? I would guess you would have a high percentage. The biggest challenge is swinging the coil over something good regardless of what machine is attached to that coil . Good review !

Hello Merill, How did the Vanquish ground balance? Do you check your holes after removing what you think may have caused the tone in that particular hole? Sometimes when you pop a plug when you have a good signal and then it sounds crappy when it's still in the hole, it probably shifted on edge. Less surface mass equals week non-repeatable tone. I know you already know all this, but sometimes we forget the simplest things, especially switching to different detectors. @ 31:09, you can rig that up to your belt and hang your shovel on it as you detect. Enjoying your videos. Get that box filled. Happy Huntin' _/

The Vanquish 330 is only 200 bucks. That`s a game changer for people who want to be able to hunt saltwater beaches but don`t have a ton of money. I got mine on a damaged box deal for 30 dollars cheaper. It`s amazing at finding coins in a trashy yard. Very fun to use and hits very small targets. Now my Bounty Hunter Pioneer 202 is a loaner kif someone wants to go detecting or hunt for something they lost. It also works very well on coins but can`t hit them even half as deep as the Vanquish and it misses more than half the coins around nails and pulltabs. My Vanquish doesn`t miss these. Maybe I got a really good one or something but in coin mode it finds coins accurately besides nails which surprised me. I got a quarter signal but dug a huge nail, but checked the hole with my pinpointer and the quarter was right where it said it was. I`ve tested this too by holding a nail and coins and it signals on the coins.

As far as park hunting goes I always use an 8” coil for separation. The vanquish seems to have some difficulty deciphering multiple targets simultaneously especially iron. The smaller coil drastically helps. Set the coil on the ground, in the area your working, and turn it on. Once u start swinging, increase ur sensitivity until it starts to chatter, then back it off one or two. I like to use coin mode with all notches selected except for the lowest two iron notches. If u get a lot of iron grunts, turn ur iron volume down to 3 or 4. This configuration seems to work for me. Good luck!

Hello and thank you! I have almost 600 videos now and it’s tough to keep track of every comment. What is your question?

I understand what you mean by chattery but possibly it may require more time.

Well you asked for opinions of "anybody know what this is" and I think I recognized it. It looks to me to be the corner of an old steamer type trunk

ok as a newbie to metal detecting, I see how you just dig in to a pile of dirt with your fingers. what about coming across a used needle or razor blade? will the machine alert to that as a possible hit? just wondering. thanks. ps. I enjoyed your video. most helpful as of yet.

Good question and that’s why you should wear gloves. I always do. There’s broken glass too.

It`s best to expose yourself to all germs. I go barefoot and step on needles every day.

So what one is a better buy? The vanquish or the simplix?

I’m gonna be metal detecting Old plantation homes in south Louisiana. So I’m looking for a good deep detector. My price is no higher than 300$. My dad has a 20+ old bounty hunter.
