I hate it when the machine is smarter than I am. Interesting finds Bill. Thanks for the video.😎👌👌👍👍⛏⛏
I just bought one of these as well. I bought the pro pack with 2 coils. First trip out I found a silver dime and a 1906 V nickel. It keeps up with my equinox 800 no problem. I bought it for a take along back up machine and I love the thing!
Nice. I just ordered one. Looking around watching videos of it in use. I wasn't planning on getting a metal detector, but my wife's dog thought it would be cool to take my rings into the back yard. She spotted my silver ring, but we couldn't find my wedding ring. It will be interesting to see how this picks out my ring. It is gold, and meteorite. I'll find out in a couple of days. My wife felt really bad. I'm sitting here thinking, not bad, I get a reason to start a new hobby.
That's very encouraging for that machine to be that good for that price. I'm impressed!
Great work Bill, Looks like a good thing might have to give one a go. Thanks for sharing.
Love the heck out of my vank along with my pro-find30! Def looking to add some other machines in my collection tho
I got my young fulla a 540 the other day and great little machine, I was impressed
4:33 that little Scotty Dog is definelty from Monopoly yup! Gonna get myself a Minelabs 540 man!!! Woot woot!
That dog is a monopoly game piece!
Sweet little unit can’t wait to see it in the gold field for sure Steve is right about the dog nice finds and clean up of garbage awesome adventure thank u
That old button looks like an old livery/sportsman type.....those are always cool to find!
Neat I am very curious about that one...
Definitely the Monopoly terrier piece.lol
Cool you keep getting targets out if the “ dead zone”!!!!!! ✅✅✌️🍺
Thanks for the pinpoint help. Just got my 540 today
You are very welcome sir
Thanks for sharing your detecting hunt with the new Vanquish..
Cheers Famo59 👍🤓🍺⛏
I saw that Scotty dog and immediately thought of Scotty in Star Trek and Kirk saying "Scotty... Gimme that power" - lol. Great detector and I just ordered mine of Amazon today.
I like the Garrett Pro-Pointer AT. Along with my new Minelab Vanquish 540 is a good set up. Thinking of ordering the 8" coil from my local authorized dealer I bought the 540 from. I tried a cheap set of bluetooth headphones from Walmart, their ONN brand. There's like a half-second delay lag. I'll probably end up going with the Minelab Bluetooth headphones which my dealer said has better latency.
Was just commenting about the Scotty dog and Monopoly and then you said it.. Haha.. Cool vid 👍🏻
You have "seen the elephant!" Great video brother!
It's nice that companies are now making good machines for good affordable prices.
That is very true Mark and this series from Minelab will be changing some minds I think
My, my, looks like you found a new best friend eh. Has the gold monster or his buddies complained yet, LOL. This new one seems to be busting their arses eh. Great post this windy day my friend. WOOHOO.Take care fella !
Very nice test in your trashy test bed. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care.
Good stuff Man. I have a Vanquish in the mail. Really looking forward to hunting with it here on Prince Edward Island. HH from Digger Al :)
real cool little machine good finds great vid
The little Scottie dog I think it's an old Monopoly piece
Little Scotty Dog is a game peice for Monopoly Game
just got one and started playing around the yard . choice not to dig targets till i learn more so went to ocean shores . found that even foil off beer bottles set it off in relic . went to coin and found wire and few other trash . then went in to the dunes . Found a tent stake at 6 in. went over the hole again another target 6 inches deeper a pocket knife 2/12 in blade Kershaw. playing in jewelery mode with gold flake .02 gram and hits fine 2 ,3 on surface at 1 in. down hits 1,2 2 in didn't read but made sound . thinking of getting a gold monster , for my claim , and prospecting the old claims around
Thanks for this video , love your stuff .
Let me know when you need a monster, always take good care of my customers!
Just to clear things up, YES THE WIND was bad and not normal for me to allow in my productions but, we have hunted this old townsite area for many years and it always seems to treat us well, before videos were being made some amazing coin finds were made here and we still manage one here and there. Good test area for a new coin relic detector. I have a few in stock at nuggetshooter.com , but just the 440 until my next allotment now....
NUGGET SHOOTER JOURNALS well, using the same test bed is a great way to test different machines. To me. Seeing which ones will find what the others could miss is a good judge for the detectors. Than again.... could just be the luck of the draw....⛏⛏⛏👍🏻
True that Steve
The dog is a monopoly piece
Found plenty of targets, maybe some gold nuggets on the way ...... Nice little machine for relic hunting ......
Hi Bill, I believe the Scotty dog comes in pairs. A black and white one. They are magic Scotties. Magnetic, and when you try putting them together, they push apart from each other. If that's what it is. Awesome!!!
Turned out it was a Monopoly piece Todd
Scotty dog use to be a game piece for the older Monopoly games in the 30s
Thank you for another great video Sir!
What do you think of your little yellow minelab pinpointer? I have 2 of them. After using them a few times neither one works...
I have been using mine for 2 years now and works great, the one I am using is the pro find 35. If they went bad that fast why didn't you get Minelab to replace them, they are good about that.
My Garrett metal detector does the same thing. When placed in the coin mode, it finds junk. When Nugget Shooter did his roundup, there was more junk than coins.
I am hunting in abandoned home sites with trash everywhere. We got the coins hunting it for the last 10 years and there were oodles of them. That is why I took it there to hunt. Good test area. Good hunters dig all targets, even the iffy ones eh?
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Exactly!
So true,it is cool lil pup
Yeah great beginner or starting detector for the family, or just a within budget beeper for ones self.
Good vid Bill, I like your new toy.
Looks like a great great mid-range detector! Thanks for your thoughts and review,
How you doing my friend, well I hope
Have had a few rough months, but finally doing much better. I have been out a few times with the Equinox 800, It has done a great job with the small coil and the super saturated ground. A couple of rings (sterling and 14 kt white gold) and many clad coins. Did find a 1904 and 1919 wheat cent. Way to much snow to get to the old mines and mine dumps. Loving your videos & hope to get caught up with comments soon.
I fat fingered one of the 1 cent coins. It was a 1914 not 1904. Definitely would have been an Indian head if it was a 1904!
You guys should come to Scandinavia and find some Roman coins ;) Hope you are safe in these crazy times. Thor.
I keep the machine display cover in place even when the weather is dry keeps you from getting dust and dirt all over the control panel.
Gets too hot here and overheats the detector when fully enclosed by a cover. Heat damage can be more of an issue than a scratch or two and we have screen protectors on like you use on your phone.
the dog is a monopoly game piece
Great video Bill!!
Very interesting digger!
Nice showing of the vanquish 540 I am interested for sure to check it out, the 440 also seem good on your web store thanks for the footage.
Yes the 440 is almost as good as the 540 but no wireless...
@@NUGGETSHOOTER That can be fixed.
Just bought one to find property corners, damn surveyors are $1800, now I need to go find treasures
Nice, easy machine. And I was going to mention that the scotty dog is from Monopoly but you said it too.
Nice
Thanks for the great vid, I have been wondering how the vanquish was going to do. It looks like a pretty respectable pice of equipment. Keep up the awesome videos sir!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I ended up getting one 🤠
Love your vids
Thank you
Mau have found something we can afford! Let's see how it does with gold lol. Thanks for your efforts and review.
Not really made for nugget hunting, but you know I am gonna try it
saw a few other sourced comments about it being flimsy..it isn't to me..it is lightweight..balanced and buttons feel great in a tactile sense..great detector at a great price..thanks for the video..
Totally agree
Very interesting hunt, it does look like an interesting machine, subbed, and enjoyed
I bet if you swing that coil near that bar, you'd find 2 or 3 good drunks. Scotty dog was always my game piece when I played Monopoly. He never really brought me luck- I always managed to land on Boardwalk with two hotels on it... and they were never mine.
Very nice
that dog piece was from Monopoly
That’s the dog from monopoly
Dog charm is cool and so is the button.
I am curious as heck as to where that button is from
I’ll ground balance it and then put the discrimination in a little bit and try that out so that we can pick up the good stuff
Interesting pin pointer mode
nice looking jayco there.
Thanks on the Jayco, we got it at an amazing price....
whal!
That scotty dog looks like an old monopoly piece
scotty dog is from monopoly game :)
Yep, that's the Monopoly dog. He was my favorite, I used to call him MacTavish
I been looking for something for the beach , i got a GM1000 but no good in salty ground. Maybe the vanquish is the go
Nope the GM 1000 is best kept in the goldfields...
@@NUGGETSHOOTER yea thats where i belong , waiting out the wet season in indonesia to start prospect in Sulawesi , so beach detecting while im waiting ,,,
I can use my Vanquish 440 in wet sand and only have to turn it down a notch.
I couldnt see the spot on the coil for pinpoint. I really want to see that. I cant exactly tell when trying to use it.
Where the E and L in Minelab meet in decal on coil
@@NUGGETSHOOTER dude, thank you very much! Love your videos man.
Looks like a Monopoly board game piece
Nice detector for the price.
Hey did your ground balance it before you started it so it’s Alexa trash out of there so you can get the gold nuggets
Whats the best and easiest new metal detector out there today?
for Gold the Gold Monster 1000
Amazing - $369USD and I bought mine for $600AUD I'm Australia where they come from
Today I'm buy one 180$
nice audio
With vlf detectors your better have a plastic scoop the salt in sand will throw detector off
does vanquish 540 has the same depht like equinox 800 thanks
No, but close
I have yet to find a spot that has truly been "hunted out". Looks like a fun machine. I know the Vanquish is a multi-frequency machine. What frequencies does it use?
Minelab has not to my knowledge given out this info as yet
@@NUGGETSHOOTER I looked on their website and couldn't find it. Thanks Bill.
I like your pick tool. what was it in this video?
I sell them in my store at nuggetshooter.com it is called a Frankinpick
@@NUGGETSHOOTER I looked at those and they seemed different. The one in the video seemed smaller.
Thanks for the reply, I will have another look.
@@DannyB-cs9vx just had a look and you are correct, but those I can no longer get sadly.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Thanks again for your time researching the issue. Maybe ask Frankinpick for a smaller version?
What do you think about a Garrett Recon Pro detector? I have a friend who has one for sale? Thanks...
A very good detector for coin relic hunting and if the price is right jump on it.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER I was really wanting something for detecting gold, not so much for coin relic hunting.
Thanks for the video yes i have found tiny pieces of metal with the Van and also missed items on ground well searched with the Nox mainly using the 8” coil . Multi IQ may well be getting into AI (artificial intelligence) territory but it definitely works well!
Seems to be running near the same numbers as a Nox. Maybe a professional caliber user friendly machine.
My exact thoughts
Just one question, where is the gold? It would be nice if you did a video of searching for gold. Thanks for sharing. Good Luck 2020
This is a coin relic detector and new to the market and I do both types of detecting, I have hundreds of gold videos up and one coming in a few days. I do videos on a large variety of things though gold nugget hunting in my main focus. Thanks for watching..
Is that a monopoly piece that little Scotty dog?
Do you ground balance that machine or is the ground balance preset?
yes then it tracks
540 CAN YOU USE DEEEP SEEEKER COIL ONIT
Been thinking about pulling the trigger on the gold monster 1000. I want to shoot nuggets, but would that detector work for coins and relics also? It would be nice to have one good machine to start with. I already have a cheap machine(EFX 300) that works ok for coins and whatnot.
Also to be clear, this machine your are showing won’t work for nuggets that well right?
Look at the Minelab equinox 800.no the Vanquish is not designed to hunt nuggets
NUGGET SHOOTER JOURNALS you think that would be better than the gold monster? They are about the same price.
scotty dog goes to monoply game
Yep that is my thought as well thanks for watching Jason
Is it easy to get permission from owners to search in US? Can be difficult in England.
Yes it is fairly easy if you take the time to ask.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER what about parks?
@@andrewcowley2691 all public parks legal
@@NUGGETSHOOTER Wow. You’re so lucky. Absolutely no go here.
Which minelab pinpointer is that 15,20,35?
It was nice to finally see the vanquish in action after all this time. I was a little surprised though in the design of the control box seemed a little to forward and the angle of it seemed different. I wonder how you'll feel after a few hours of swinging it. Anyways, great job and curse that wind man. I cant stand it myself reminds of the high desert where we live in Victorville.
Thanks Bill for doing this video.
The pinpointer is the Minelab Pro Find 35
Scotty dog from Monopoly game.
I think the pup i from a monopoly game….
Good video
How can i discriminate against the sound of the wind?
I know, i even had a fuzzy external mic and it was bad. Unusual for my stuff to have much wind noise, but nature was not wind friendly this day.
@@NUGGETSHOOTER hey shooter i have been meaning to ask you ,
I found a minelab f3 an actual military mine detector shaped like the sdc2300
Its pretty sensitive but quirky are they good? What do you know about em? I think they have to ne pretty good die to what they are made for vut i dint know much.
Thank you
Watcher out
@@carpenterren Never have tried one for gold nuggets, give it a go and let us know!
@@NUGGETSHOOTER i sure will once i get the chanec, thx.
you destroy it b4 you get it out, get s shovel and do it right
digging with one of those relic shovels is near impossible here in Arizona unless in a city park.
Vanquish......really........
Lots of wind noise
Yeah was like 40 MPH
Yes from a monopoly game
Just wondering if will pick up small nugget like the 800?
No not even close and also not designed to do so...
The reason I asked was I thought the frequencies were similar. We all need a T shirts that says, That “Treasure hunting is great ,but I rather be hunting a gold nugget” The Scotty dog was a neat find ,though, and the idea of weeding out non ferrous targets.
🇹🇷🇹🇷👋👍
Yeah but you’re picking up a lot of trash and not the good stuff that’s why I said you should ground balance at first and then look for coins gold silver copper then you’ll have a chance to get the good stuff
