    Hello from Australia

    Hi all, I've been lurking on the forum for the past month and thought it best if I created an account to interact with some of the great content on here. I've toyed with the idea of buying a detector for at least a decade, though I could never justify the cost. I finally pulled the pin a month...

    felt guilty about not using my Vanq 540

    I have a Vanq 540 and Nox 800. Use the nox 800 99% of the time and have the 540 for backup because it has the same tones and TID range as the 800 and that makes life easy for me. The 540 is a great beginner's machine and quite good. It is much more stable and quieter than the 800. Plus not...

    detector control head covers complaint

    My Vanquish 540 is so not water proof or rain proof they had to give it a raincoat in the form of a rain cover. It fits nice, but the plastic is so glossy and shiny that it relects the sun, trees almost anything in the daytime to keep you from seeing the LCD display. And when you change angles...

    Vanquish and Equinox TIDs are almost but not identical.

    I have owned my 800 since March 2018 and Vanquish 2 weeks. I had heard the TID’s were the same so I got out my extensive collection of junk and some CW bullets and silver coins to do some comparative air tests. I was in the relic mode on the Vanquish 540 and the Field 2 mode on the Nox 800...

    TID values for Equinox and Vanquish

    Was updating my TID values on my Equinox 800 and Vanquish 540 with air test. 800 was in field 2 and 540 was in relic mode. For the most part they are identical on my test of junk, pull tabs, square tabs, pennies, bottle caps, screw caps. On good targets civil war bullets, silver coins they...

    Vanquish and Iron

    My vanquish seems to love iron. I will say I am sure I have no idea how multi freq works, but I am having an issue with anything over 4 inches deep is iron. They squeal nicely. Does anyone have any tips on using the horseshoe properly??

    My thoughts on my Vanquish 540

    Just received yesterday my Vanquish 540. To give you a reference point I got my Equinox 800 in March 2018 and had an AT Pro for 3 years. AT Pro was/is a good machine. The Vanquish 540 should have been introduced by Garrett. Maybe the upcoming Apex will be the one to finally answer the Equinox...

    My wife does not understand me!

    I know, I am about to sound like Rodney Dangerfield. I have been waiting on my Vanquish 540 since April 9th. According to the post office tracking # it is on the deliver truck to be delivered some time today. We have been cooped up at home more or less two weeks. So today she wants us to go to...

    thinking selling the Simplex and buying the Vanquish 440.

    I have a Simplex+ and am thinking seriously of thinking selling the Simplex and buying the Vanquish 440. I have nothing really negative to say about the Simplex. I have the Nox 800 and think that the TID on the Vanquish will be similar to the Nox 800 for the same targets? Am I right? With the...

    Garrett sitting around doing what?

    Ok, first off this is NOT a thread about which make or model of a detector is better than another one. This starts to many verbal jousting matches. It is a business and marketing question: Why Garrett is not responding with new detectors to counter the Equinox, Vanquish and Simplex+ which are...
