Relic Hunt With My First MINELAB Metal Detector (Vanquish 440)

In this metal detecting episode I will show you a relic hunt with a Minelab Vanquish 440 metal detector. I bought this model, because I thought that it provides a good compromise between ergonomics, performance and price. I also wanted to try out a machine that uses multifrequency and is (supposedly) a little bit less EMI prone.

The hunt itself wasn't easy. It was hot that day, the place was trashy, partially with dense vegetation and lots of EMI due to a railroad close by. It's impossible to tell how a different detector would behave that day, but I will show you a direct comparison soon.

I think the Vanquish 440 performed well. I like its pleasant sound. I wish the audio would be a little bit more "intelligent" (with more information), but it is what it is.

As for this hunt... I was surprised with the result. I wasn't expecting to make any finds that day, let alone nice ones like the 1600s buckle, or the French Napoleonic navy button. All in all it was a great outing. Don't worry, the Deus will return very soon...

Thank you for watching!

P.s. I made a Vanquish 440 comparison with my Xp Deus:    • XP Deus & Vanquish 440 - A Side By Si...
