as mentioned, i think they are going to "score" with something, as they are" well heeled"
(so to speak),and the engineering "crew",(if still intact) are surely capable.i agree in principal with
what you say though, in that's it's been quite a while since they "shined!"

it's why i researched before spending money on the vanquish! the 540 pro-pack is, without a doubt, the
best "bang for the buck" in the industry,IF you know to a "certainty" that you WILL be hunting in "low"
to medium mineralized ground.

don't count 'em out! they got plenty of financial wallop, and their crew of engineers are second to none!
bet their ''stuff' has been in "skunk works" for a while, and will be out sometime this spring.

to limit side to side movement.it looks attractive, and well built

there is an element of truth in this! people hang on to it so long and endure it's
volatility ,waiting to see it "scamper" back up again,that they "croak",and end up
bequeathing it .investing in gold is NOT for the faint hearted!

i agree in principal with what you are saying, but i have hunted for over 35 years,and i don't
do water,or the beaches the vanquish just the way it is is fine for me.never been interested hunting
in the rain.i shower every day, that's enough.as tom mentioned, making it waterproof would add considerable
expense, and have a tendency to defeat minelab's marketing purpose.as stated

the objective was to ''dumb down" the multi-iq,,allow just enough adjustment,
and set it loose on 'cooked" and "burnt" sites."short money, and a brilliant marketing strategy,
turned it into a ''sleeper" virtually upon introduction.

(MILD SOIL IS THE KEY!)
HUNT "MILD" SOIL,AND THE 800/600 IS NOT MISSED!
also, the 8" coil is "crackerjack" in tight and densely "junked" areas,
and other "general" lightly trashed areas. use the 12" coil for "wide open field
running!"
