Fantastic Detector
by Chuck in Sparrows point, MD -
I upgraded from the Fisher F22 to the Minelab Vanquish 540 pro pack. This Vanquish goes deep with great tones and readings at all depths. You will not be disappointed. Basically a turn on and go detector that performs almost flawlessly in any type of ground.

What a deal!
by Paul Terwilleger in Washington -
This is my 8th detector, and, man, does this thing work its hands down dollar for dollar the best price point. I am not going to lie. I have dug up a few bottle caps and pull tabs. But also the 10kt ring and the 15gram chain. 10kt just about payed it off I have only had it for a month. Thanks Minelab!
