I know NOBODYS gonna believe this! Just watched two of your videos yesterday. And I remembered what you were saying about bdi’s for gold and had an odd ping last night right as I was going inside and decided to dig it. I very decent sized diamond ring! I almost had a heart attack when my eyes adjusted in the dark! It was a solid 21
Oh and it’s like my 4th day with my detector. I was so jealous seeing people digging up rings! I feel a lot better now lol.
My vanquish 5:40 actually found many pieces of crystalline gold in a canyon platinum silver and gold together Awesome
Well…….after watching this video, I have to go back and redo everything I have done for the last two years at the old golf course. 😂😂 Thank You for your help 👍🏽
I skip the 20's cause I get tired of digging pennies. No more after watching this video. Thanks brother, big help!
Happy this helped. All the best and good luck. Joe.
Wow, wow, wow! I have been going past everything below 20! My old X-Terra is way different! Thank you for the eye opener!
Thanks just got the vanquish 540 this helps alot
Thank you so much!!!
Well dang! As someone that'll be starting to metal detect in coming weeks, this is excellent information to know. So basically just dig everytime, lol!.. Thanks for this for sure. I really appreciate it.
I have only had the vanquish a few days but i am not digging everything.
Its the tones im really paying attention to.
Something that is not consistent in a trashy field i cannot be annoyed.
But im definitely digging consistent high pitch, or if out in open untrashy fields i will dig everything.
Trashy fields can just be exhausting and put me off unless the place has history that makes it worth the effort.
Yes dig everything tanto it beeps on the screen. Is not that hard. Lol.
Thanks for the valuable information, 540 is in the mail and I'm excited to get hunting. My room mate is from Pittsburgh, she's a handful. Cheers
No problem! Best of luck with your new machine. All the best. HH. JOE.
I'm just beginning to use my 540. This was very helpful for interpreting the tones and numbers displayed and heard. Good job.
Extremely useful video, thanks man.
Best video on this yet. Using to degerming what cost effective to get, right out of the box style I like it. subbed and saved for reference.
Very cool and helpful video man I’ve only had my vanquish for 40 for like three days now and I’m going gold crazy lol no but it’s funny. My wife tells me not to get discouraged and I tell her I could go out and do this all day every day come home with nothing and I’ll still go back out the next day and do it all over again lol, but I’ve been wondering about the beady eyes so that helped me tremendously. Thank you.
Thanks for the video. I was not digging 20's signals because all where penny's. Now I know I got to dig them.
Yeah always definitely dig the twenties lots of nice gold rings hit on those numbers. Best of luck. Joe.
Thanks pal. A really helpful and informative video. Appreciated
Thank you man really great info 👊👍👊👍
Very educational video for hobbyists of all detecting experience levels - nicely done, Joe! 👍
Thanks Rob! All the best. HH. JOE.
Thanks Joe! I have the nox 800 always interesting to see where different things ring up.
Thanks for watching Amy! The vanquishing The Knox Vdi's are the same. So I hope you get out there and dig some gold. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
Great info thanks for sharing i can see it now.i will be digging a billzion zinc pennies
Verrry well done, extremely helpful, thanks!
Thanks. Happy it helped. All the best. Joe.
Great video. It surely help me out with just getting my vanquish 540. Thanks
Thanks Jim! Best of luck with your Vanquish. Get that gold and silver. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
Thanks for the help bud just bought 1 2 weeks ago i beach hunt so immediately i took off pull tabs no telling how much gold i missed. On a side note with my old detector i found a 1898 $5 gold coin with a bezel on it can't find the chain lol my now i will good luck hh
That is helpful. It seems to ring up exactly like the Equinox. Seeing all the targets different numbers was helpful. Thanks!
No problem juice. Glad I could help. All the best. HH. JOE.
I had a 35 yesterday and dug and ended up being an underground pipe at a park and had to just refill it and move on.
Very helpful. Just got the 540 any this was very informative.
Best of luck with your new machine! All the best. HH. JOE.
Thanks for this post. I have the machine but not the knowledge. this video will help.
I've detected here over the pond for more than a decade mostly using my trusty Teknetics T2 , I've just acquired a 440 with the V12 coil which I won in a Facebook Metal Detecting Lottery :) Your video echoes similar tests done here in England and I thank you sir for your excellent and concise test :)
Happy to have helped. Best of luck. Joe.
Many thanks, this was very useful for me [newby] now I have a much better idea of what those numbers actually mean. Thank you again for sharing.
Best of luck with your new machine Will. JOE.
Great and informative video!
Thanks Keith! All the best. HH. JOE.
Love it thank you!
Thx bubba! Just ordered one- CANT WAIT!
Best of luck.
Just got my 440 today. Thanks for the video very helpful.
Best of luck with your new machine! All the best. HH. JOE.
Thank you for that, it'll help a lot.
I live in England i have a 340 love it thanks for all the I'd numbers has IAM starting out again since 1983 when i was a young lad i found a gold crocodile the first week i went out it's from a charm bracelet hopefully a gold coin or two soon thanks again
Best of luck
Excellent VDI information!
Thanks! All the best. Joe.
Great info thank you!!!
Thanks. All the best. HH. JOE.
Awesome!! Thanks!
No problem. I hope it helps. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
thanks for the video
Just found your channel. I bought the v340 as a gift for myself after hearing a lot of great things about them. Deep silver coins and relics might be back on the menu again. My first detector was a heavy old Whites that needed 8 batteries and cost 500 in the 1970s so I appreciate these new detectors more than some do. Can`t afford expensive detectors so thank goodness for Minelab making these great machines affordable.
Hi Joe! Just checking in 👍👍
Thanks for watching Terry! Hope all is well my friend. All the best. HH. JOE.
Hermosas monedas gran crítica!
Awesome demonstration! I've been cutting out below 5, guess I will be changing that to zero lol. I got the TH-cam trifecta this week! Cooper poppers, iffy signals, and Pittsburgh Coin Hunting all posted! I have healed a bit from my surgery. Ready to go dig when you are, let me know
I'll be sure to let you know soon as I can get out again. Yeah the foil numbers you got a dig or you'll miss the small gold. See ya soon. All the best. HH. JOE.
Thanks man
Thanks!
Yeah! Thanks🖒
Thanks !!
thanks for this video i have the 440 and all i seem to find is bottle tops
VANQUISH IS A BEAST
Also this was very helpful, my wife and I both watched since we both ordered the vanquish 340s for a good couples activity to be outside. We're both excited to find our first rings and this helped because at first I was thinking only dig higher numbers now we will have to dig it all.
Best of luck.
Exactly don't bother with numbers
@@splatcave3145 since I posted this I've found a gold 14k bracelet, a few silver rings, a few junkers, around 10 silver coins and maybe $30-40 in clad. I spent a month and a half going out each day for 3-4 hrs. It's been awesome.
Awesome. Happy to hear ur finding the goodies. All the best. Joe.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 thank you, I have spent countless hours watching videos, setting up my own course in my yard to hear different metals and get target numbers down. I still dig plenty pull tabs but I'm finding the good stuff as well! I spent $100 on a beach scoop, and have really put in the hours. I'm planning on selling my 340 and getting a 540. Not having a pinpoint feature makes it a bit harder but with my handheld pointer it helps alot.
Coin and staples LOL I'm surprised it wasnt jumpier. It definetly affected your numbers. I have a 'nox and its pretty much the same story. Nice collection though.!
If you scan the Staples without any discrimination on the machine they don't even come up anyway. Staples are too small and thin for the vanquish to even pick them up, so I don't think it's affecting anyting. I have the Knox 800 also but I have never checked to see if it can pick up the tiny Staples or not. All the best. Joe.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 OK good to know i thought 4 staples might get detected at close range. 'nox picks up some crazy smalls sometimes. I'll have to try it myself with the two detectors. thanks.
Nice Joe. Those machines seem incredible for the price. Multi frequency seems like the new standard. I just ordered an 800. Can't wait to try it. I talked to Mark today about getting out soon but I think the weather is supposed to be crap all week.
Awesome Matt! The Equinox is definitely a beast. Give me a yell when you and Mark get out and I will try to join up with you guys. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 Ok sounds good
Good video i like the vanquish and it will punch deep , but i hate the ID scale being this short due to the fact that on other machines i have a much better clue to what im digging up with a id scale of like 1-99. I keep my user profile from 24-up if im in a real trashy area and just wanna not dig everything and look for silver coins/big silver rings.
Interesting video Joe. I've been thinking about a new machine for while but it's just learning a new machine. That makes hesitant about it.I have a AT pro and I like it but sometime I question the depth.
Thanks Gene! The 80 Pro is it good machine but you need a bigger coil to get the good depth out of it. If you're looking into a new machine you should definitely check out the Vanquish or the equinox the new multi IQ is definitely Cutting Edge technology. So far my deepest coin with the Vanquish is an 1870 ihp that was 12 to 13 in down. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
Nice buddy
Thanks man. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
Hi bro. Love your videos and your calm energy. I got the vanquish 440 last month and loving it. Still learning the machine. Of what I've seen l should dig every thing from 1 to 22. Isn't that right? It's harddd work. The vanquish doesn't skeep anything. Take care. Stay safe
Greetings from Israel
Thanks! Appreciate u watching. Yeah you pretty much go to dig three all the way up to the high 30s gold can come in anywhere across-the-board depending on size then silver comes in from the low 20s up into the high 30s. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 shoul i dig between 1 and 30 ID ?
Great video. Lead gives a 18-19
Thanks. Lead can also bring up even higher it just depends on the size of the piece of lead. All the best. Joe.
I just got the pro pack waiting for the snow to go!
Best of luck.
Aww man, all these numbers matches with aluminum vodka caps and foil from cigarette packs which is in every place on western Europe... I probably left quite some good stuff as I dug only solid 10-11 and 30-40
I live in England and have done the same left out all the pull tab numbers and bottle tops foil ect will be digging them from now on
Should do the same test but in a dirt box. Easy to make just pvc and a tote full of dirt.
Hello my friend, Well this certainly helps, thank you. It freaked me when the read on the White Gold Diamond was only #5 WOW. I must have missed it in another video but why did you use tones from the Relic setting and not coins? Are you always hunting in Relic and why? Joe I like the machine a lot. Easy to use, Quiet, and Light Weight. I've gone on a short run already and found just a penny but I'll master it, I'm sure? Maybe?
I'm glad this helped Keith! The real small rings come in like tin foil. I use the jewelry mode mostly but the recovery time changes on each setting. I believe the jewelry mode gets better separation and depth then the coin mode does. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 Coin mode fastest recovery speed least depth of the modes (good for trashy areas), Relic deepest mode slowest recovery speed of the modes (good for fields or other non trashy areas where you want max depth, Jewelry is in-between the two so a happy medium lets say.
Awesome video. Well done. As another popular TH-cam detecting group say, "Dig it all and take your trash with you."
Thanks Brian! Appreciate u watching. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
awesome video my friend. I love your channel. Is that a screen protector you have over the screen on there!/? thank you for the informative videos!! happy hunting and good luck out there
Thanks! Appreciate u watching. Yeah I get screen protectors for iPads and then cut them in pieces for my detector screens. Best of luck to you. HH. JOE
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 man, that is a great idea. Thank you for that! I'm definitely going to try that trick. I love your vanquish videos and will look forward to watching any new ones. I got a birthday coming up in 5 days and I think my wife is going to let me get a 540. So I will need all the help I can get. HH Friend and Good luck out there 👍👍
I have the vanquish 540 and other with me as units I can use when I go detecting, what I have noticed with the vanquish is solid non jumpy numbers and good sounds should always be investigated, It's a fun machine to use.
Thanks for watching. Vanquish is definitely no fun machine to use. I've only been using it a couple months but I've found lots of goodies with it so far. HH. JOE.
Thanks . It must be all metal mode that way we can find the deepest metals. Doesn't make sense. The timer the metal de higher number you get the thin metal then lower number you get . We just have to get a metal detector that detector everything and we dig everything whit out be waiting time watching the screen. .
Great video, very useful. Would the VDI and tones be the same in relic mode? I know the recovery speed would be different but I’m wondering about the IDs.
Thanks
Thanks! And ID and tones will be the same. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 thanks, I’m torn between relic and jewellery mode.
Jewelry mode is my personal favorite.
Thanks for this I’m still learning the 540 but so far I love it. On the coins in the sleeves I wonder if the staples made any difference to the vdi’s?
Thanks for watching. The Staples in the sleeves won't even really come up on the detector small iron. I've ran that etrac and CTX for years and this Vanquish has definitely impressed me. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
Hows Kyle doin?
Thanks, you find some older wheaties, in an area with lots of square nails and other junk, thinking got to be more, but just keep digging square nails deep, sure signal may be jumpy and not perfect, should I only dig the good signals then move on? 540 loves the nails
The vanquished has pick up a good bit of bent nails and chunks of iron but if you put it in all metal mode it'll discriminate a little better. Usually when it's a better Target the vdi number will be more consistent and less bouncing all over. Do a grid pattern in both directions on an area and on an angle. Then you probably got most of the desirable targets from the area. Iron infested areas make it very difficult separate targets. All the best. JOE.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 thanks Joe, I do turn on the horseshoe, maybe try going for the better sounding signals, just hate passing up good finds thou, but digging deep nails is work
thanks for the video when I first got my vanquish I found 5 coins right off now all it does is detect ghost targets good high numbers you dig and they vanish no sign of them in the plug or the hole I put the small coil on and it's worse it ghosts all the time it also is constantly shutting off with full charged batteries any suggestions
Wow that is definitely not normal you should contact Minelab because they have a good warranty service and send it out to be checked. It's most likely something malfunctioning inside. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
I wish my job wasn't "essential" and I had more time to metal detect!!
I think every detectorists would love to quit their job and metal detect full-time if they could. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
Careful what you wish for son
What about old rusty square nails? If they are iron why do they ring up in the high tones?
Thanks for the info, I've had my Vanquish about a week and having fun but am getting tired of digging old nails.
For some reason big Rusty Nails and bent Rusty Nails come up as high tones on even the high-end machines. I think the corrosion or something messes with the machine. A lot of times when you watch the vdi number will jump all over the place. On a really good Target the tone will sound good and solid and the numbers will be solid. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
I have a 440 and I'm usually in Jewelry mode. I noticed you were as well. Is that your preferred mode to use?
Yeah jewelry mode is my favorite. Done pretty well on the gold rings in silver coins and this modeand gets really great depth. Best of luck. Hh. Joe.
VANQUISH 540 #TMJSEMPRE.
after using the compressed vdi scale compared to the full scale what do you think? do you like it better then the full scale?
Thanks for watching Tom! I think the full scale helps discriminate some more iron but other than that they are both easy to use. You basically just need to learn your numbers and what things come in and what section. I definitely been enjoying the multi IQ it's helping with the more difficult ground in certain areas. All the best. HH. JOE.
It would be nice to compare readings from various denomination gold coins . I'd bet there's a lot of $1 gold coins still out there because they're so small and read like foil or something.
Thanks for watching Craig! Yeah the gold is definitely the hardest to find. A friend of mine dug a gold $1 coin and he said it his came in on The nox from 5 to 8 . So always take the foil tones you never know when it's going to be gold. HH. JOE.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 especially when you're in a park or someplace old enough where people would have carried gold coins back in the day
I completely understand I have found two us gold coins four years apart down in a city park. I feel there's definitely got to be more. HH. JOE.
With all those staples I would not really say this is a precise test...
The staples wont effect anything. The staples don't even give off a single when scanned with the detector. All the best. HH. JOE.
Just starting with the 540. I was initially very frustrated that I was digging nails when the numbers were high. Should I just ignore the corresponding item icons altogether? Your video shows silver in ranges where the icon is a pull tab or bottle cap. It seems like those icons are almost more distracting ...
Sometimes you get into some bad ground and big bent nails will give you a high tone. That happens with even the high-end machines. They cut out about 95% of The iron. Better targets like silver will give a stable number on the vdi instead of being all jumpy from high numbers to low numbers. Focus on really good sounding repeatable targets that give a solid vdi number. It may bounce between a few numbers and still be a good Target but if it's bouncing from 20 all the way up to 35 then it's most likely iron. I hope this helps. Best of luck. Joe.
Think i will stick with my minelab x terra 705...
Hey Boss - have you ever tested pewter for a vdi?? I dug the business end of a spoon the other day, can't find any information as to what pewter could display on a V540, thanks.
I have never found anything made of pewter yet with my Vanquish so unfortunately I can't help you with that one. But if the piece that you found is greenish or reddish then you know it's brass or copper if it is neither of those two colors it might be pewter.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 I appreciate the feedback.
Best of luck to ya. Hh. Joe.
You shouldn't have used metal staples, just regular glue to attach them together. Its detecting the staples
But the staples on some
The Staples don't even pick up on the detector at all. All the best. Joe
Could your readings be affected by the staples in your coin holders?
No the Staples don't even ring up on the detector at all . All the best. Joe.
forget the silly numbers...just listen & dig ALL solid repeatable signals and you will be surprised at what you find good luck
How do the staples around the coins affect the vdi?
Staples don't effect anything because the metal detector doesn't even pick them up at all.
All the best.
All I understood is that I have to dig everything. Not exactly what I expected.
Garrett 200i is quite different, most of the time trash is on the low scale, under 50-60, good stuff is above 80 to 100.
Believe it or not even with your Garrett if you're skipping all those low tones you're missing different small pieces of gold that comes in just like trash does. And this happens with every metal detector on the market. If you don't dig every tone that's not iron then you're missing gold and silver items. Best of luck to you. HH. JOE.
Would this be the same on the 340? I'm just getting into metal detecting and I ordered the minelab vanquish 340. It seemed to have the best reviews for the price. Anyways thanks.
From videos I've watched the ID numbers seem to be consistent across the 340/440/540 Vanquish range :)
@@PhilipKerry thanks for letting me know.
Yes the vdi numbers are the same on all the vanquishes and the Equinox 600 and 800. If you're new to the Hobby try to focus on digging the stable vdi numbers that only jump maybe one or two that'll produce more better targets. If the numbers are bouncing from 20 up into the 30s it's most likely junk but if the depth meter shows four or five arrows I usually dig the jumpy ones but only if it's deep. Best of luck. Joe.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 thanks for the tips, the minelabs came in yesterday. Both my wife and I got one. We went out for about an hour and found a modern penny and a nickel and also a stainless pen cap. The park we went to was full of junk so we gotta find a better place for next time.
Try to get permission from friends and family or neighbors that have old houses it might better your chances
Are your coins in a protected cover with METAL STAPLES around the coin?????? Any detremental effects there???...
I put most of my old coins that I find in the two by twos with staples haven't had any toning or problems yet. As far as I know they should be okay. All the best. JOE.
I think the V 540 is a great machine... mine is the pro pack. I do not get out much but I do like the Minelabs. Quit frankly these days... I'm afarid I'll be robbed and beaten for nothing else, for my machine & skin color. Here in Tx. I could carry... but that would be the last thing for me... to kill someone trying to rob me or just give me a beat down by several youth thugs, just because I'm there.
I guess I need to find a club, and go with 1 or 2 friends that enjoy hunting too. Too Bad America has gotten so bad and dangerous.
You can't stop living life because of other people you need to enjoy yourself whenever you can. If you need to carry to protect yourself and feel safe that maybe that's what needs to be done. And getting together with other metal detectorists is always great time and you're safer when you're in groups so that is definitely a good idea. All the best and good luck. Joe.
Vanquish 540 and equinox 600 have the same circuit board?
I'm not sure if the board is the same or not but the vdi numbers are the same along with the 800 as well
How do you get headphones to pair I can't get them to pair?
you have to hold in the power button on the headphones for about 5 seconds and it'll go into pairing mode . The lights on the side should be flashing back and forth to blue and red . then hit the Bluetooth button on the machine and they should link up. Best of luck. HH. JOE
What is better 440 or 540 what do u suggest me to buy
Pretty much close to the same machine but the 540 comes with a 12 inch coil not a 10 inch coil but if you get the 540 pro pack that comes with a 12-inch coil and a 8in coil. Honestly though if you're into the Hobby and willing to spend a few bucks I would recommend the Equinox 600 or Equinox 800 over the Vanquish. Best of luck. Joe.
@@pittsburghcoinhunting1452 yeah i got the pro pack ... where is good to use the 8 coil??
You use the 8-inch coil in places that have lots and lots of signals close together because it will separate better than the 12-inch coil but won't go as deep
Lol numbers differ due to depth, type of soil, position, etc. I don't even look just go off the sounds.
So basically good nice things are from 20-30???
If it's high toning on iron ya got a bad machine. Couple people got one. Best thing to do is run some iron test.
It Discriminates most iron out. But a lot of the larger corroded bent nails come in as a perfect 20 - 23 signal
I'll have to compare it to the 1 my friend has. All the best. HH. JOE.
What do those staples come up as
The Staples don't even pick up on the metal detector at all by themselves. A strip of Staples would hit iron but individually nothing. All the best. Joe
I get readings all over the board but what's reading 37 to 40
Thanks for watching James! Sometimes after being in the ground so long Peace dollars and Morgan dollars will hit a 37 or higher. Best of luck. HH. JOE.
the broaches ?
What about the staples
Then you could only go looking with 16-22
If you want to find all the small and different size pieces of gold that are lost you need to dig all the trash signals other than iron for instance last year I picked up a 14k white gold diamond ring and it hits an 8 on the Vanquish. Best of luck. Joe.
so just dig it all?
Everything except iron. U can avoid some pull tab signals but dig all other loud clear signals and deep choppy signals. That's the best way to get all of the lost treasures from a spot. All the best. Joe
