Minelab - VANQUISH 460 Metal Detector
About this product
The VANQUISH 460 is engineered for detectorists who want more than basic entry-level performance. Powered by Minelab’s proven Multi-IQ technology, it reads multiple frequencies at once for fast target recognition, better coverage, and improved accuracy across changing ground. The VANQUISH 460 is IP68-rated and fully waterproof up to 5 m / 16 ft, includes the versatile V10X 10" x 7" Double-D coil, supports low-latency Bluetooth LE Audio, and adds handgrip vibration so target signals are easier to notice in noisy environments.
Features
Multi-IQ Technology
Minelab’s Multi-IQ simultaneous multiple frequency technology gives the VANQUISH 460 the power of multiple detectors working at the same time. There is no switching frequencies or second-guessing. Just turn it on, choose your mode, and start finding coins, jewelry, relics, and other targets across parks, fields, beaches, and mixed ground.
Search Modes
With Park, Field, Beach, and a customizable User Profile, the VANQUISH 460 is ready for busy sites, wide fields, and challenging shorelines. The User Profile gives you quick access to your preferred settings, making it easier to hunt effectively in different environments.
Waterproof to 5 m / 16 ft
With an IP68 rating, the VANQUISH 460 is built to handle water, dirt, dust, and unpredictable weather. It is fully submersible up to 5 m / 16 ft for creek beds, shorelines, rain-soaked ground, wet terrain, and beach hunting.
Sensitivity and Discrimination
Ten sensitivity levels and 30 discrimination segments provide advanced control over how the detector responds to ground conditions and metal targets. Adjust sensitivity to detect faint signals or stabilize performance in difficult soils, while discrimination helps isolate desired metals.
Volume, Target Tones and Iron Bias
Ten volume levels and three distinct target tones — Low, Mid, and High — help you adapt to your environment and identify signals worth digging. Three Iron Bias levels adjust how strongly the detector reduces signals from ferrous trash, giving you more flexibility in challenging ground.
