Vanquish 540 is a professional detector which, thanks to its intuitive control interface, also works perfectly as a first entry-level model. Compared to its related models 340 and 440, it comes with a larger coil (30x25 cm 2D) and more advanced functions.
Like most models from Minelab, Vanquish 540 is equipped with Multi-IQ technology. This means that all operating frequencies run simultaneously during searching, giving you a major advantage in the field and ensuring that you don’t miss anything.

All search settings are adjusted using the buttons on the main panel with the LCD display. You can set the signal volume (10 levels), search sensitivity (10 levels), or choose one of the 5 operating modes (coins, jewellery, relics, custom, all metals). In addition, you can also use the discrimination function for up to 25 materials. There is also the option to activate the Pinpoint function for precise target location.
Indicators arranged on the display also play an important role in searching, allowing you to read the depth of the detected object (5‑segment indicator), identify the type of metal (ID scale), or check the current battery level.
The detector indicates search results with an audio signal via the built-in speaker, but you can also use the Bluetooth module or the 3.5 mm jack socket to connect headphones. Power for the electronics is supplied by 4 x 1.5 V AA batteries.

A strong point of the Vanquish 540 is also its sophisticated construction, which allows you to adjust both the length of the shaft (76–145 cm) and the length of the armrest.
