Minelab Vanquish 560

Top of the 60-series lineup, the Vanquish 560 trades the 460's V10X coil for the larger V12X, adds a fourth Iron Bias level and two more target tones, and still runs up to 10 hours on Bluetooth LE audio and full 5-meter IP68 waterproofing.

The 560 sits above the 460 in Minelab's 60-series mainly because of what's on the end of the shaft: a 12×9 in V12X coil instead of the smaller V10X, built for wider coverage and better depth within the same automatic Multi-IQ package. Everything underneath still runs on simultaneous multi-frequency detection, adjusting to ground and target type without manual input.

Four Iron Bias levels — one more than the 460 — and 5 target tones give sharper control over how ferrous trash and genuine targets get separated, backed by 30 discrimination segments and 10 sensitivity levels. A vibrating handle adds a second signal channel for loud environments, and wired headphones are included alongside Bluetooth LE audio support.

It's fully waterproof to 5 meters (IP68), weighs 1.26 kg, and runs up to 10 hours on its internal battery between magnetic USB-C charges. A red LED display with a built-in flashlight keeps it usable after dark, and Minelab lists coins, jewelry, relics, and gold among what it's built to detect.

Key Features

• Multi-IQ technology

• V12X coil

  the 12×9 in Double-D design covers more ground per sweep than the smaller coils used on the 360 and 460.

• 30 discrimination segments and 4 iron-bias levels

  the finest sorting control in the Vanquish range for telling targets from trash.

• 5 target tones

  lets you judge target type by ear before you even glance at the screen.

• Fully waterproof IP68

  the entire unit tolerates submersion to 5 meters, not just splashes.

• Bluetooth LE (LC3) wireless audio

  keeps wireless headphone sound tightly in sync with what the coil detects.

• Battery lasting up to 10 hours

  covers a full day of detecting between magnetic USB-C charges.

• PARK Mode

  tuned for the trash-heavy ground typical of parks and other busy public spaces.

• FIELD Mode

  balances depth against discrimination for farmland and older archaeological sites.

• BEACH Mode

  works wet or dry sand, helped by the full 5-meter waterproof rating.
