Minelab Vanquish (340 440 540) tips and questions

[Gpx5000]

I saw a new minelab last week and it's a black Garrett ace250, same buttons, screen, same shape control panel, it's a Garrett rip off!

 

[Ded Driver]

could be they used that as a disguise!

That photo is a shot from the first promo video where the bloke digs a bottle top , 99% sure thats just something they used for the ad & not the Vanquish

Photo of Vanquish is in reply #4

what is with that crap promo? sorry minelab , sharpen up.

Oh, I get your nefarious intent now.

I sort of wish they would just get on with it anyway, a new machine taking over the lower end range of their products.

Maybe I should just paint the ACE 250 Black or even RED.... already !

Birdy says it will price well under the Equinox range. So happy days.

A budget detector. So I will probably get one just for the kids as the GoFind series just doesnt cut it.

Thought i would a few things that are floating around on the net.

:zzz: :zzz: :zzz: Christmas is coming.

Considering I'm looking for my first detector and this one appears that it will slot right in the middle of my price range (which is still under negotiation with the boss), I'm very keen to find out some actual details about it! I'm holding off on purchasing until this one is out I think.... Anyone heard any further legitimate news?

its interesting that there is no mention of the XTerra being discontinued. There is not a huge price gap between the XTerra & the Equinox600 so it would be strange for the Vanquish to fit in between the two. If you had to pay $500-700 for a Vanquish then why not just buy the EQ600! and what would be the point of Minelab continuing with the XTerra unless the price dropped a fair bit, then that raises the question of price point on the Go-Find.
You would expect the XT to be dropped &/0r the price of the EQ to rise.

Seen on an Australian Dealers Web Site

Just to give everyone the 'heads-up'. As from the 16th August 2019, Minelab will be increasing their prices on the Excalibur II; Gold Monster 1000; and the SDC2300.

Consequently, the recommended retail price as set by Minelab for these machines will be;

Excalibur II $1999.00

Gold monster 1000 $1199.00

SDC 2300 $4499.00

All GST inclusive

Also the following machines will be or have been discontinued from the Minelab range when stocks run out.

X-Terra

E-Trac

Safari

GPX - 4500

 

[Ded Driver]

ahhhh the curtain starts to rise.
THAT list leaves a big gap between the EQ800 & the CTX
so, is the Vanquish, with Multi IQ an all, going to replace the XTerra, or the E_Trac !?
...

 

[Nackz]

It will be interesting to see if the Vanquish will sit below the EQ600/800 as in the info available from the web. I wonder if any of the retailers will run a clearance on the discontinued or soon to be discontinued models....

They'll roll in like oranges and buy it. All the hype is designed to keep us buying every new machine that comes out. The reality is folks....... Most of the easy gold is picked. The days I remember when it was relatively easy to find 1 to 10 gram pieces of gold are gone. Unless this new machine can generate a picture for you actually showing the target or turn fly **** gold into grammers I'll bet its no better than what's already on the market. :argh:

 

[Ded Driver]

pretty sure the Vanquish isn't going to be a PI gold machine Ronniecruisin. Early vids from Minelab point towards a coin/relic VLF machine
