Metal Detector Minelab Vanquish 340
New multi-frequency metal detector designed for beginners and intermediate searchers.
Minelab bag Vanquish, probe cover and 4x AA batteries
The VANQUISH 340 metal detector is ideal for anyone starting out with metal detectors. Thus, it does not need any special features and is primarily looking for the best possible performance. That's why the VANQUISH 340 comes standard with Multi-IQ technology, a V10 waterproof coil and volume control. The compact and lightweight design of the VANQUISH 340 is thus very simple, but it delivers results no matter how experienced a searcher you are or the environment you are searching in.

Detector design
For the Vanquish detector, Minelab kind of goes back to its original roots as we all know them from the Explorer and E-Trac detector lines. I have to admit that I literally fell in love with the design the first time I saw it. The construction is very rigid, the locks are of high quality and the storage is also excellent. In the animation you can see how the detector is folded. From this you can see that, for example, the elbow distance adjustment will now be really millimetre-accurate.
For the smallest possible folding, however, the detector can be folded in another way. The rod from the elbow can be pulled out and pushed in from the other side, which of course we immediately did. Although Minelab lists the length of the folded detector as 76 cm, after turning the elbow, you get to 68 cm.
Multi IQ technology
Why Multi-IQ? Because with the revolutionary Multi-IQ technology you have the combined power of multiple detectors in one - all the working frequencies of the detector run simultaneously. You don't set anything up, you just turn the detector on and go.
You can move in any soil or search for any target, thanks to Multi IQ technology you have both the finest gold target detector and the depot finder in your hands at the same time.
ALL TYPES OF TARGETS, ALL TYPES OF LOCATIONS, ALL AT THE SAME TIME.
