The Simplex and Vanquish are both great machines for the money. The Simplex will win on the waterproof category and the Vanquish will win on the stability category. As far as depth is concerned, I expect them both to be about the same as long as you are being realistic on your tests. There are a heck of a lot of Simplex "air test" videos out there showing guys waving their coin like a mad man across the coil with the detector chatting like a rabid squirrel. That is not a realistic test. In the real world the coin only passes under the coil ONCE. So waving a coin 20 times under the Simplex coil and announcing "yep, I'd dig that all day long!" is not realistic. They wouldn't dig it because they'd never hear it in the first place due to not being able to distinguish the faint coin whisper from the endless machine chatter. It is easy to "detect" something that you already know is there. It is much harder to detect something when you don't know anything is there or not. A true double blind test is the only way to be fair. But creating a double blind metal detector test is nearly impossible. Hopefully, you will do a test that is indicative of real world results. For the record, I'm a Simplex owner but I was torn on whether to get the Simplex or the Vanquish. I'm sure I would have been happy with either choice.
Hi there , well said my friend an air test means nothing the real test is in the field when you haven't got a clue what's down there or how deep it is ,nice one pal ATB Rob .
Well looks like that Vanquish just paid for itself there with that gold Arron mate what a belting find indeed 😀👍👌...cool upload mate and keep em coming ...simplex vs Vanquish could be an interesting battle out that mate
For sure on a comparison vid. I have a Nox 800 but can't decide on a secondary detector for backup or a guest detector. It will be the Simplex or the 540.
Great video, great personality. Happy owner of a Vanquish and a XP MI-4 pinpointer (im new at detecting) Dreamed about detecting since i was a kiddo haha. Best wishes from Denmark. Subbed and liked. HH everyone!
Arron, I had the same problem with the EP650 headphone, lag when you connect the headphone directly to the 540. So what I did was I bought a small Bluetooth 5.0 transmitter for about € 12,- and that worked great, no more lag.
Excellent vid Arron. Congrats on the gold ring. It was only going to be a matter of time. That is why I always dig 9,10,11's on the Nox and the Vanquish. Hey and thanks for the shout out for the Minelab Vanquish Users UK FB Group 👍
Headphones have to be APTX LL . Regular APTX will still have the sound lag. It has to state "aptx low latency" together and not aptx and then low latency somewhere else in the description. Headphone makers try to claim low latency because newer bluetooth versions are faster. Been fooled twice by this advertising ploy.
I like your videos Arron , but I really don't care about comparing detectors I care about watching performance videos and seeing how well they do In the field and being tested just bought a 440. Can't wait to find everything around a covered wagon I found two years ago . Cans were dated 1912, tons of stuff eating forks and spoons. glasses, hair clips 100s of nails all kinds, shell casings, stove from Kansas city under the first few inches. The 440 should really help real soon....
Awesome ring bud...well found, especially as it rang in the same as the dreaded 5p's lol. Imagine if you thought "sod that it's only 5p" and walked off...😱😱😱
Please please do a vs video! My request is you pick a small patch of beach and detect it with the Vanquish. Then go over that same patch with Simplex and see if it finds anything extra. Then find another similar patch of beach and do it in reverse. Simplex then Vanquish after. Very, very interested in how they do against each other that way. Thanks for doing all your videos!
Many thanks for yet another enjoyable video. As a new subscriber to your site, I am rapidly going through your back catalogue, thoroughly enjoyable, with some cracking personalities on them i.e Mike,Ellie,John to name a few. Pleased to see the new machine is coming good for you. Keep up the good work. Ian in Mallorca
To take a new detector out on its first real hunt and find gold is amazing , I would have chosen the simplex over the vanquish but todays video changed my mind seeing it hit the small targets that deep it must be the multi frequency
It's not just Aptx headphones you need..... You need Aptx "Low Latency" headphones. It is the "Low Latency" part that makes them fast. Just regular Aptx headphones will still have a decently large delay. I do not have a vanquish but I have some Aptx Low Latency earbuds that I use with a standard Bluetooth Aptx LL transmitter. They are made by Avantree. I can't speak to how long they will last but I like them so far. And the price is pretty good.
Hi Arron, you need to get back out and do some more Vanquish video's. The sea at low tide is calling its name. all the best, still like your videos even though the legend is hogging your time. good luck
Hi Arron, again great video. Yes I’d like to see how it compares against the simplex. I’ve heard mixed reviews on the simplex and I am new to detecting so would be nice to see how the simplex compares to multi iq
Yes I'd like to see a test between the two machines I have a granddaughter this 16 + 14 and I've got to get a machine they won't start going with me so I've got to find a machine for them keep on digging Bill Johnson North Carolina USA
First time out with the 540 8" coil amongst other good targets I found a very thin gold plated ring that came in on stable 16 on heavily searched area ,quite impressive .Thanks for the video.
Very nice showing of the 540 in fact I think the reason I bought one was from your prior video & to tell you the truth I was on the fence with it trying to talk myself out of getting one but I thought why not give it a shot, no beaches close here but I will see what it does in the field, what I was thinking of doing is just finding targets with the 540 marking the targets and writing down the numbers, doing that for a couple hours then take the simplex over each un-dug target and see if it can hit the same target if it does then switch the process using simplex first then 540 in my opinion with out having done any tests due to weather, I think they will both pick up each others targets, we won't know until we just try them and experiment, if the simplex can pick up all the 540 targets, then just from a price point comparison, the 540 cost in the states 370 usd the simplex 325 usd I have to say the simplex has more features than the 540. What I really like about the 540 is, well the audio and being able to change out the batteries at will. Love the videos sorry a bit late to the party
Nice find with the vanquish Aaron 👍🏻 I would love to see a head to head with the simplex, I honestly think it will show the vanquish up but only one way to find out FIGHT!! 👊🏻 p.s. not literally 😂👍🏻 great vid.
Thanks for another great beach video Arron, the Vanquish 540 seems to be performing very well. Congratulations on the lovely Gold ring, it looked like it was set with a few precious stones as well.
Absolutely! Bring on the comparison. I’m in the market for a new machine and I’ve seen a ton of info on the nox and the fibio but I need to see those two machines.
More Vanquish 540 action

That's a savage machine so its going to be the upgrade I'm looking for 👍👍👊
Nice find! Would you mind taking that ring along to your simplex/vanquish comparison video? I'm curious as to how it'd show up on the simplex.
Thats the power of minelab arron my friend 💪 take care buddy
Well done matey!
Well looks like that Vanquish just paid for itself there with that gold Arron mate what a belting find indeed 😀👍👌...cool upload mate and keep em coming ...simplex vs Vanquish could be an interesting battle out that mate
Vanquish is bank_quish 👍🤣🤣🤣
Great performance . Shame the design ,looks too much with a Garret. Still prefer the Simplex , just my opinion. Thumbs up Arron
For sure on a comparison vid. I have a Nox 800 but can't decide on a secondary detector for backup or a guest detector. It will be the Simplex or the 540.

Officially christened the machine now, good hunt. Interesting to see what comes up after the storms this weekend
Awesome ring bud...well found, especially as it rang in the same as the dreaded 5p's lol.
Imagine if you thought "sod that it's only 5p" and walked off...😱😱😱
Awesome! Congrats on thy gold. I found a 9ct gold ring with my vanquish 540, mines abit squashed though, came in around 13. Cracking machines 👍
Amazing ring buddy, always good to find a bit of gold 👍🏻. Would be interesting to see the Minelab v Simplex. GL & HH

Just wished they would make his fully waterproof I would have one.

Hi Arron, you need to get back out and do some more Vanquish video's. The sea at low tide is calling its name. all the best, still like your videos even though the legend is hogging your time. good luck
Hi Arron, again great video. Yes I’d like to see how it compares against the simplex. I’ve heard mixed reviews on the simplex and I am new to detecting so would be nice to see how the simplex compares to multi iq
i’m picking up gold at 9, which means i check everything.
Yes I'd like to see a test between the two machines I have a granddaughter this 16 + 14 and I've got to get a machine they won't start going with me so I've got to find a machine for them keep on digging Bill Johnson North Carolina USA
Very nice finds buddy all ways nice to catch up on your videos
First time out with the 540 8" coil amongst other good targets I found a very thin gold plated ring that came in on stable 16 on heavily searched area ,quite impressive .Thanks for the video.
A lot less noise then the Simplex, the Vanquish, Rocks in the wet salt sand!
great video and nice to learn , i am thinking about getting the 440 and i live on the south coast sort of way. thanks
Mine picks up a quater at 3 feet on an air test, these other guy's are using it wrong. Their full of shit!

You lost me @ 4:08 when you tossed your aluminum trash back onto the beach....
😂 I threw it into my pouch on my left hand side
Well,well done.....I would like to see the Vanquish/Simplex comparison test...thanks
What did the ring ring up as?
Very nice showing of the 540 in fact I think the reason I bought one was from your prior video & to tell you the truth I was on the fence with it trying to talk myself out of getting one but I thought why not give it a shot, no beaches close here but I will see what it does in the field, what I was thinking of doing is just finding targets with the 540 marking the targets and writing down the numbers, doing that for a couple hours then take the simplex over each un-dug target and see if it can hit the same target if it does then switch the process using simplex first then 540 in my opinion with out having done any tests due to weather, I think they will both pick up each others targets, we won't know until we just try them and experiment, if the simplex can pick up all the 540 targets, then just from a price point comparison, the 540 cost in the states 370 usd the simplex 325 usd I have to say the simplex has more features than the 540.

Genial

Well done on the gold Aaron👍
go for it Aarron do the test.
Congrats on the gold ring, great find! You must have thought it was going to be another 5p on the 11 signal. Good luck on your next hunt 👍🏻
That machine looks great and a bonus find. Well done. 👍👍
Thanks for another great beach video Arron, the Vanquish 540 seems to be performing very well. Congratulations on the lovely Gold ring, it looked like it was set with a few precious stones as well.
nice ring AA.
Hi Arron , nice one mate gold !! , another good test and another good video ATB Rob .
Absolutely! Bring on the comparison. I’m in the market for a new machine and I’ve seen a ton of info on the nox and the fibio but I need to see those two machines.
Nice find!
Nice find Arron I bet the person who lost that was cursing 🤬👍
Gold on its second outing. Can't be bad. Well done
