Vanquish

Apparently there's more info coming this sunday on the Minelab YouTube channel.

because it will the detectival in uk biggest even in europe, i think some brand will release some machine this week end.

I don't expect much from the vanquish.
Hopefully it doesn't look like it did in the video.

C scope have a new release also.

It's not that inspiring, they can't even spell 'detector' correctly ...

It looks like an X-terra replacement.

It's pronounced"Deck Tec Tor".

As the IQ of the masses decrease.

Well, one issue is settled by the 2nd picture - the Multi IQ logo has the words “simultaneous multi frequency

Yep, and another question answered: it is NOT waterproof.

The coil is waterproof but not the control housing which is only "water resistant." Probably a good move for product differentiation from the EQ600, but not being waterproof crosses it off my list.

Well if it’s any consolation, there’s mounting evidence that equinox is not waterproof either – judging by the number of reports of flooded control housings on the Nox

I've used my Equinox 800 in the water for one summer with no problems but now I'm worried it could leak. I don't like that the waterproofing is glue. Glue can sometimes deteriorate after time. I hope Nokta uses a greased seal instead of glue in there multi freq. detector.

I was hoping it would be submersible. It looks like the Simplex will be the one to take on the AT series........

Go to your fav dealer's website (like bigboys) and they've got the price listed.

Can it tell a bottle cap in the dry sand? If it can ID one easier than the Nox 600 I am in. If not then I'll pass.

Apparently there are 4 machines....340,440,540 and 540 pro pack. Prices are from $199 to $499. That’s what Keith at ML repair put out

Minelab says it's waterproof.

coil is...

looks cheap! sooo much plastic!..looks like their "kid's" detectors!
"short money!" though! juice is in the electronics! just sayin'

(h.h.!)
j.t.

Yup, only coil waterproof. I agree, looks cheap build.

Hopefully you can get a mid size coil for it, unlike the Nox.

I saw a 8 inch listed on big boy hobbies site in the pro pack
