    I’m in the process of getting a metal detector and this one definitely catch my attention, I have found randomly walking bunch of nails and bolts but for my understanding of this video you can set it up for kinda ignore those signals right?

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Correct! We all dig some iron and nails now and then but to find the good coins, relics and jewelry you see others finding on TH-cam, you need to find really good sites where no other metal detectorist has been. But the machine should discriminate out most of the iron. Thank you for your view and comment!

  • @vazman1913
    @vazman1913 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hello mate, do you think Vanquish 340 is worth buying, or to pay double for 540. I read somewhere that apart from Iron bias both machines are similar in depth for coins and jewelry. Is it worth to pay double. Cheers.

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hello, at this point I would have to recommend the new Minelab X-Terra Pro over the Vanquish 340 but if you really need multi-frequency the Vanquish 540 is worth the upgrade from the 340. I have a really good video on the Xterra-Pro that you should watch. Thanks for the view and comment/question!

      Had mine for a few weeks I struggle with it all so.. it was just hitting false targets quite a lot > started talking to other people they didn't like the machine either > even my friend who has a TH-cam channel Sid from England history he had one sent to do a review even got to keep it but sold it a few weeks later because he said it wasn't a very good machine but said very sad because it's lovely looking machine very comfortable to use lightweight.. Anyways so basically I sold it > now I've got equinox 600 that machine is so much better.. But fantastic review even though it's a little old it's still and machine quite new on the market that people are going to want to watch the review I'm a new subscriber also.. Stay lucky 🤜🤛

      @BrassMedic  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Unfortunately that is proprietary information that the company does not share. Nor will they discuss which frequencies. My guess it 4. If someone had an oscilloscope, they could figure it out quick. Wish I knew the answer but thank you for the view and comment!

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  ปีที่แล้ว

      It's not, it's a great machine it's not for everyone though, it's heavy and not always the best at finding targets hidden in under and next to nails. But 90% of all of my best finds came with the CTX-3030. I still have and use it even though I currently have nearly every metal detector made in the last 20 years by all manufacturers.

    What about Lead.
    Because that a real problem whilst looking for Gold Nuggets.

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, we typically find lots of lead when looking for gold and if your detecting small bullets and pieces of lead, you know your not missing much gold. They have very similar conductivity, in other words, if your hearing gold, your going to hear lead too and vice-versa. Thank you for the view and comment!

    • @daviddavey1727

    I just purchased one. And when I swing it on the grass it make a lot of different noises. I noticed when you swing yours its quite. What do I need to do. Please advise. Thanks

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Robert, there could be many reasons for that. The obvious issues could be your swinging it in your yard in a neighborhood or an area where there is lots of below ground wiring or construction trash under your lawn. Another common issue is your swinging it over an area that has many metallic targets buried like an old homesite that burned down many years ago where in the fire, all the nails dropped straight to the ground and the machine is hearing all of them at once. Or if neither of those reasons, perhaps your soil conditions or very highly mineralized (red dirt) and your sensitivity is set too high for the unstable soil condition. As far as any other reason related to a setting or defect, this is rare but possible. But a good test would be to drive to an area where there should be no reason that any metal should be there and not in a neighborhood and try it there, it should be very quiet and stable, if not call your dealer and ask them if they can check it out for you. I'll be honest, I do live in an area with highly mineralized soil and because of that, it is rare that I can run any machine on full sensitivity without it making lots of chatter. Thank you for the question and for viewing the video!

Would love to see pics of the area that failed and any info you may have on the batteries! Yes, it's too bad that some machines need us to have to buy aftermarket "upgrades", I mean these machines are out in the rugged outdoors and getting swung, banged into obstacles, picked up and set down over and over and even dropped ocassionaly. Manufacturers need to keep this in mind when doing R&D and choosing materials, fasteners, etc. What good is a great circuit if it's housed in a platform built like a toy? I personally have not had any of these issues when using the Vanquish but as I said, I would sincerely appreciate any info you could share with me! Cheers, Mark 🤠

      Very tough to choose between those two. The Simplex+ can be closely compared to the Equinox 800. The cost difference between the two is pretty substantial, maybe try the Simplex first (they are very easy to sell used) then cross grade to a better machine down the road.

    Minelab Vanquish 540 is the best detector for beginners I’m convinced. Super easy to operate and it flat out finds stuff with accurate discrimination. For the price you’d be a fool not to.

    Great review, Would this be a good all around detector for beach and relic hunting I live in Virginia and do alot of coin / relic a Jewelry Hunting, Im currently using a Whites Classic Id detector for the last ten years which I Really like ,Do you think that this detector you're doing a review on would be a better upgrade, Or do you think I should look further...Great review... just Subscribed

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for your comment/question and for the subscription. Your budget is the biggest factor in choosing another machine to upgrade your Whites Classic ID. On the low end of budget I can highly recommend the Makro Notka Simplex machine, it would be a significant upgrade from your current machine plus fully waterproof, wireless headphones and incredible performance. At the next budget tier look at this machine, the Garrett Ace Apex and the Makro Kruzer. At the next budget tier look at the Minelab Equinox 800 or 600 and the XP Orx. At the top budget tier look at the Minelab CTX3030 or the XP Deus. Honestly the best machine out of all of these for what your doing is either the XP Orx or the XP Deus with the white high frequency round coil. Another incredible jewelry machine (maybe none better) is the Whites MXT!!! Hope this helps, for any more questions, find my email in the description of this video and feel free to ask away! Happy Hunting!

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Frank! So the coils are completely waterproof and can be fully submerged. But the control box is only water resistant and should not be submerged underwater. However should be fine if used in the rain or if a little water splashes on it. If your looking to go underwater completely in creeks you should look at other machines like the Notka Makro Simplex +. Thanks for the question and view, best of luck.

    I have just bought the vanquish 540 Pro pack. What's the difference between the 2 coils apart from size?

    • @BrassMedic
      @BrassMedic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Thank you for your view and question. There are no differences other than size as they are the exact same in every way except size. They do have advantages over each other though. A smaller coil always has a benefit over a larger coil in that it doesn't expose itself to multiple targets all co-located in the ground due to its smaller footprint. This is advantageous because your circuitry is always trying to ignore iron such as nails so a silver coin surrounded by nails is difficult to hear with a large coil because the machine detects so many nails it can block the coin signal. You do lose depth but that is one advantage over a large coil where you get more coverage and deeper detection but at the cost of less target seperation. And lastly, let's not forget that there is an advatge in a smaller coil for its lighter weight, therefore easier to swing over time.

      Terry, thank you for the view and question/comment! I think it was more about masking rather than depth so your right, an open screen and the 6" Coil should absolutely hear that 22 bullet. If you email me at the email address at the credits at end of video or in the description of video above. I can share my CTX3030 program and you can check it out in the Minelab XChange software. I don't remember exactly what program the CTX3030 was running on that day but my guess is "Cherry Pick" so that is a program with heavy discrimination. Thanks again!

      Hello and thank you for the view, comment and question. There are 19 different channels available to noise cancel to. At least one of them will help tremendously to cut down chatter. Also useful if detecting near another detector to eliminate cross talk between machines. Lastly, you can lower the sensitivity, most metal detectors in most types of situations and ground can't operate quietly at full sensitivity. You should bring it down to where it makes the chatter and falsing of signals tolerable. Hope this helps, lmk if any other questions.
