What Numbers Should You Dig? | GOLD Testing | Minelab Vanquish 440 Metal Detector

- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- General testing of the Minelab Vanquish 440 metal detector on some gold jewelry. This detector has found coins, silver jewelry and one piece of gold on the beach since I have owned it. What kind of cool things have you found with your Vanquish if you own one? Gotta dig those low tones!
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS SUPPORTED ME ON MY JOURNEY THUS FAR!
I started this channel back in November 2020, my first ever Metal Detecting video I ever made with the Simplex is still available. I encourage anyone thinking of starting a channel to do so, you will learn so much and meet so many new faces along the way.
If you dug every single 1-5 that you came across do you think that you would end up with more gold than if you skipped those numbers?
It is hard to say for sure, those low numbers take time to dig and the majority of them are aluminum foil.
You may save enough time not digging those numbers that you end up with more gold in the mid tone range. At the end of the day, it just all comes down to what you feel like digging up!
I assume these numbers would be very similar if not exact with the Equinox 600 & 800.
Nice test. I have the Vanquish 540 and have dug targets that were 8 to 10 inches down, they really are good detectors.
Hello Mr Treasure.
Arne from Norway here. Thank you for a great simple clip. I have a Fisher F 5 and a Garrett 250. Is very cold here in Norway this day,so
nice to welcome the spring. But the winter is
very long. Thank you for sharing my friend.
God bless you and take care. By the way.. congrats whit the gold...Spring..come fast 😂
Hey man, just bought a 440 and trying to get my head round those numbers, so this was super helpful. Can you do a video on what some of the other numbers mean?
Cheers. And once again - brilliant video! 👍
I just received my vanquish 440. These videos are a great help when i am learning how to use this great detector. There was only an assembly pamphlet in the box- no in depth users manual. Thanks for the great tips i cant wait to get out and detect!! Cheers
Good luck out there and have fun!
I’m new to metal detecting and this helps a lot.
Hello there Bro... just get out there and do it...lol.. it all Practice and exsperiance... and get a sun tan if it a hot day.. 🙂
I have the 540 vanquish. I want to get the 8inch coil for it but I got the 6 inch for my equinox 600 and I'm having a blast with it at the moment. I will say I've dug some deep targets with my 540 with the 12 inch coil. It's a really awesome detector. The 440 is awesome as well!!! Great video bro!!😎👍
6 inch equinox coil is killer! Really like using it as well wanna get back out there with it soon. I can believe it about the 540, if the 440 can go pretty deep I bet the 540 with bigger coil is awesome depth.
Just bought a 340, my first detector ever I am almost 38 and have wanted one since I was a little kid. Watching these videos is pretty helpful.
With the tiny gold pendant, in Relic mode, by default, the 3 first discrimination notches are set to reject. I wonder since the thing read about 3 on the surface (in Jewelry mode, which has only 2 disc notch segments turned off and thus includes ID 3), maybe that's the reason the Vanquish didn't discriminate the target both on the surface and buried in Relic mode? I was thinking that in Relic mode, which has the longest recovery time, such a small target would be detected, using correspondingly slow coil swings, given the stronger signal at depth owing to slower recovery time in Relic mode if it wasn't notched out that high by default?
Super nice video. Very well done. Excellent information on the vanquish number readings. Thank you very much 😊
Vermont Derek had that same thing happen with a small gold piece when he was comparing his Vanquish to his Nox. It didn't even see the gold in relic mode but had a nice strong signal in jewelry mode.
I own the same vanquish 540 I have found at least $298 in quarters dimes and nickels and pennies a 10 karat gold ring at a very old abandoned baseball field lots of old jewelry and I'm still hunting to look for gold bars in gold coins it's the best metal detector so besides the golden mask detector
Great job on the Vanquish. Enjoed this alot!
I realy like my vanquish 440 and plan to spent time learning it
great video, watching from the uk and i am thinking about getting the vanquish 440 in the next few weeks
I think the Vanquish is a pretty good pickup 👍
Minelab is so secretive about the differences between the search modes. They only tease slight differences in recovery speed. Maybe they have threshold differences that won’t let that small of a target through in relic mode.
Just got my 440 in. Honestly I ordered it on amazon when I was drunk on a whim....got no idea what im doing with it so this is very helpful lol
I have to hide my laptop when I drink whiskey. One night I ordered two guitars, two microphones, a PA system, sound mixer, effects box to play Jimi Hendrix on acoustic guitar with backup drums built in, and a portable power supply so I could do concerts in the forest. I`m thinking of using the speakers and the power supply to play Bigfoot sounds in the woods to scare my neighbors.
hello my friend your video is very instructive for me. I am a beginner and I have done some output detection, I had some nice surprises, but I feel like I missed several targets. with your video, I will be able to improve my metal hunting trophies. THANK YOU for your good work.
Good vid. These are a lot of answered questions that everyone seems to ask for. Good job. I run the 540 and love it.
Great video it wasn't too long love all your content !!! that I watch um 3or 4 times rock on bro 👊
Thanks for the video! Very informative. I do know one ounce gold coins come up in the mid 30's.
Thank you for watching! Crazy! That gold can just ring all over the place, just gotta dig it if you don't wanna miss it!
Dang I've been hunting only high numbers lol well time to get back at it
Very good demonstration, weldone
I wish I could find Gold. I'd be happy with Silver lol. Thanks for the numbers test.
Keep optimistic, it is out there! You'll find it when you least expect it! 🤞👍
I've found gold without metal detector so yeah be optimistic. That's why I'm actually think now to buy the 440.
What would the little piece of gold ring up in all metal mode?
Hey Robert, just went outside and tested it quick for you. It seemed to ring about the same 3-4 with maybe a slight iron grunt in there. Sincerely appreciate you stopping by and dropping a comment, feel free to leave any other questions or tests you'd like to see in the future and I will try my best to get those answered for you! Cheers!
Thank you. I am learning my Vanquish 440.
You're welcome! Stay optimistic, the treasure is out there...! It's just hiding between a bit of trash!
Nice education. Really appreciate it. Great narration. Keep them coming . Thank you!
Thank you sincerely for the kind words!!
Just got a 440, i'm taking notes lol
Great Video. Vanquish Rocks Man I like the 540 and the 340. I might just get the 440 just to have all 3. Cause the Vanquish is a great Detector to use as a back up or a starter detector. I would dig any solid tone and even the tones that are jumpy cause you never know when it comes to gold.. You Did and Awesome Job..
Vanquish is awesome you just never know what is under there!! I even considered maybe getting a 540 in the future. For now the 440 works good for me and it's really good out on the beach too, just have to keep reminding myself to dig those low-mid tones! Thanks so much for the kind words my man, appreciate you!
Are the numbers the same on the 340? I'm new to detecting. My wife and I both ordered the 340s and I'm trying to learn as much as possible before they get here.
@@reds1325 The 340 440 and 540 are the same in vdi but in all fairness you are still better off hearing the tones too over vdi.. I have a video up on Vdi for the 340 if you would like to check it out..
@@ohdannyboyjustadiggin thank you, I'll give it a watch.
you answered what I was curious about ... how small a piece of gold it would pick up on ... ( saw the surface find of it ). yeah I know it is not a gpz but it is impressive enough I also went out and bought a Vanquish 440. 540 is nice but I do not think I need wireless or a backlight. I am guessing the 540 comes with an app maybe too, I dunno but I have saw some that do ... shows where you been what finds, a log ( be cool ) thanx for the vids bud ... peace
I agree with you, the vanquish is a strong machine for the price. I also went with the 440 thinking I didn't need the extra features of the 540, I think I actually prefer the slightly smaller coil on the 440 also it seems to go pretty deep and good for target separation. Appreciate you stopping by. ✌
@@TreasureOutdoors cheers!!! I appreciate people like you posting information. I am new, so new that I need to still hit the store to buy some accessories and my machine has not yet had the batteries put in... Helps a lot and so thank you very much
thank you for this video as I am getting the Minelab Vanquish 540 metal detector.
You are very welcome, I hope you enjoy your Vanquish once it arrives! Thanks for stopping by 🤠👍
An iron ring will give you 15 but so will a silver v thin hammered penny. Consider just two things: One is the volume of metal and two is the circularity in shape. The third is the duration of the tone in pinpoint it gives an idea about size. There are caveats but in general you'll get close to your prediction that way.
Apart from that for same size and shape conductivity scale will be pretty close. Gold is mid conductivity.
I like the way you break it down! I agree with you, we can learn a lot about a metal detector by just using it and comparing differences. Appreciate you tuning in, thanks for the tips!
@@TreasureOutdoors I get about 50% predictability/probability using these factors on coins. More volume of metal in the coin 'tends' to raise the number from its prescribed conductivity number and vice versa. Close to the surface finds are usually less interesting historically so maybe a fourth consideration. But then I'm hunting in inland areas where if the soil is not disturbed then the deeper finds become more interesting.
@@TreasureOutdoors A pleasure
Love my Vanqish 540.. it Paint by numbers... buy one.. you wont regret it....lol... :-) thanks Treasure Outdoors.. gr8 video clip...
Thanks Daryl!
Enjoyed your vid just bought a 440 yet to try. Wanted to know settings for gold. And u showed me that.
How about trying a bigger coil then see if you can get ur little nugget to register? Would be interesting to know. Keep up the content
I hope you enjoy the vanquish! I think it's a good machine. 👍 If I get another coil for it I may just revisit that little gold, I appreciate you stopping by!
Thank you for doing that test for me. I really appreciate it.
You are so very welcome, Robert! Any time
This is what we want to see in a video.....what a great machine..l will be getting one of these baby's.
I just all repeatable signals gold is all over the place
Diggin your channel, man! .........no pun intended.
Cracking video 😊😊 very informative so thanks taking time to share .... very helpful I’m getting the 440 for my birthday...... happy hunting 🙌🙌
Thank you so much! Congratulations on the new machine, I think you'll love it!
@@TreasureOutdoors thank you 😊 x I can’t wait to get it 😊🙌🤞🤞
I have yet to get gold with my 540 but a bunch of silver pinging the 30s. Thanks for this bro I gotta dig more mids
you are welcome bro 👍 I wish you the best of luck, it's out there you will find it!!
Love watching and learning keep it up
Thanks!!
Being over a year between the 440 or the simplex+ for your first detector would you choose 🤔 unless the 540 was a option
You have to pay attention to the default notches. Relic mode has small gold numbers automatically notched out.
You're right I didn't realize why relic mode wasn't picking up the gold until I was editing the video and noticed the low numbers notched out, I tried to edit it in there not sure if it came across. good catch 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors I only listened to half the video so far. You might have said something and I haven't heard it yet. 😁
So it's preferred to keep it on jewelry or all metal mode?
@@thedude232 Depends on what you're looking for. Jewelry mode has the widest range of targets notched in without running in all metal. Can't remember where the notches are on the 540. Might be able to notch in down to zero on coin or relic mode and save to custom???
@@REDGTA gold rings. But i see they range from 1-20 so i guess i just need to dig everything.
I guess i misunderstood the title, i thought you were going to explain the numbers
I recently purchased a Vanquish 540, great machine so far. If I’m hunting on the beach (I live on Cape Cod) is jewelry setting the best option? Also if I’m in the woods/field would jewelry setting be my best option for coin shooting also (thinking it covers all the bases if I hit a ring or coin)?
With lithium batteries you can recharge them any time without a memory effect. NiMH batteries need to be completely drained before being recharged fully or they`ll be damaged. It`s best to never fully drain your lithium batteries though, especially if you leave them that way without immediately recharging, because that can damage them, and so can storing them fully charged or exposure to heat. To store them drain them down some and never leave them in a hot car. And if you can avoid it don`t fully charge them over and over either, although this is hard to accomplish. If you cycle lithium ion batteries between 20% and 80% you can double or triple their life.
Very helpful video, thank you very much. I need some help before I go and do my first jewellery recovery commission.
You are so welcome, I wish you the best of luck out there hopefully you will be able to locate the lost jewelry!
In terms of the tiny gold pendant at the end, why does my V440 pick up smaller pieces of iron 2-3 times as deep?! 😂
Great video mate .cheers
nice vdeo bro.. i like vanquish
Good afternoon I'm very new I started yesterday. Anyhow my 440 I have it set at 20 and higher and I'm getting a reading of 35 it's very constant and it's shown it's very deep I live in an old farmhouse I'm just curious is 35 a bad reading I've never heard anybody speak about it.
I saw another guy say he had problems with the Vanquish if there waa iron near the target ..discrimination was an issue...but in fairness that is compared to machines that cost twice as much
Yeah the vanquish is strong performer for the price, some machines do better in iron but it does go deep if there aren't too many signals around 👍
Nice test
Thanks for the video I don’t have one of there’s but I have about 12 other detectors tho I like this because it’s like the Nox 800 but it’s lest complicated way more simple to use I like the sound of the gold monster 1000 in manual mode I just wish they make the same sound n noise as my Monster I don’t really like the sound of the 540 tho but will like it fir the beach tho mmm
I am right there with you, I am getting up there in number of detectors but I love them all! All unique and have their strengths and weaknesses, fun to take a different detector out now and again. I have nox 600 and still find myself using the vanquish sometime. Good machine for the price thats for sure
Why not try it in all metal ?
I purchased the V 440 in 2020.. My totals were 96 US and foreign Silver coins. 4 silver rings and tons of clad. But no gold. Thanks for the testing and I will try the different settings on my detector!
Killer job on the silver!! Wish you the best of luck in 2021 for the gold!!
Wow that's some dry soil you got there! Where you at?
That intro was bee 🐝 quackers 🦆
😁 try to add a little spice in there! appreciate ya dude thanks for dropping by
I think the vanquish is better then simplex but simplex is waterproof and this gave a +😹
Please actual death range of 540 vanquish
Always enjoy your videos. Is A LL METAL the deepest mode on vanquish?
Thank you! I heard that Relic mode goes deepest but I have not tested that myself. When I get around to do a little gold depth test I will definitely try it out! I'd like to see the deepest the 440 can pull those gold targets. 👍
Liking your videos 👍👍
Hay bro did ya tri it on that little peace of gold in coin mode at that 5 .5 inch to see if it would read ? But good video
Coin mode on the vanquish notches out the low numbers so you dont hear small aluminum foil but that gold sounds just like small foil. So coin mode wont even pick up that tiny gold right on top of the ground. thanks for watching 🙌
Not good that it reads gold with the same numbers as a pull tab...but overall it seems aa good detector...im sure many of these issues can be adjusted in the settings
Gold and pull tabs as well as some other non-ferrous items can be very difficult to distinguish between on ANY detector. If you aren't digging pull tabs, you may be missing gold.
If your hunting coins do you hunt in relic mode or jewelry mode?
I would say use relic mode for the best depth or jewelry mode if there is a lot of targets around and you need that extra target separation 👍
@@TreasureOutdoors awesome thanks
Will the 340 detect gold?
yes it sure will! as long as you are out there digging those potential gold numbers!
So if you dig up pull tabs then you are eventually going to get something good
Yep! So much jewelry sounds just like trash, keep optimistic out there!
Ignore the numbers dig the dings
Your 1" away from it LOL,any detector will do that,even a cheap $100 detector.
👍😎👍
If iron is set, it can be more successful. Iron is in steel, and pure gold rings don't exist in the jewelry business. They can use different metals because some have allergies to poor plating like 10k.
All numbers above 30
SILVAHH!! definitely gotta dig those.
Duża różnica między 440 a 340
niewiele różnic kilka dodatkowych funkcji w 440 :)
I keep getting clean 20-30 and it turns out to be old iron 🥲 even in coin mode
Keep trying, sometimes the iron will give you small hints it could be iron where as a coin might be a little more solid or a little different sounding.
Wish you luck out there!
