MINELAB Vanquish 360 lightweight waterproof metal detector — V10X 10" Double-D coil, Multi-IQ multi-frequency, 2.6 lb

The MINELAB Vanquish 360 is a fully waterproof, lightweight metal detector with Multi-IQ technology and a V10X 10" Double-D coil for versatile, beginner-friendly treasure hunting.

Designed for newcomers and weekend hunters who want a reliable, no-fuss detector, the Vanquish 360 combines a featherlight 2.6 lb build with Minelab’s Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency sensing. That means you get consistent target responses across parks, fields, beaches and shallow water without switching frequencies. The unit is IP68-rated and submersible to 16 ft, uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery for long outings, and ships with a waterproof V10X 10" x 7" Double-D coil to get you detecting out of the box.

How does Multi-IQ simplify detecting for beginners?

Multi-IQ runs several frequencies at once so you don’t have to choose the right frequency for different targets or ground conditions. This reduces the learning curve and improves the chance of finding a range of items—coins, jewellery and small gold—without constant adjustment. The result is steadier performance across mixed mineralization and varied soils.

• Simultaneous multi-frequency sensing for balanced target response
• No manual frequency switching between sessions or terrains
• Better detection of both small and medium targets in one pass
• Consistent performance on mineralized or wet ground

Is the Vanquish 360 suitable for water and beach detecting?

Yes—the Vanquish 360 is IP68-rated and fully submersible up to 16 ft, making it ideal for shorelines, shallow surf, creeks and rain-soaked terrain. Its waterproof coil and sealed electronics let you scan wet sand and shallow water confidently without compromising performance. The lightweight design also keeps fatigue low during long beach hunts.

• IP68-rated, submersible design for freshwater and shallow seawater
• Waterproof V10X Double-D coil for improved stability in wet ground
• Compact and corrosion-resistant construction for coastal use
• Lightweight for long shoreline or wading sessions

What are the battery life and controls like in real use?

The detector uses an integrated lithium-ion rechargeable battery that delivers up to about 10 hours of runtime, enough for a full day of searching. Controls are streamlined and intuitive—Park, Beach and All Metal modes plus simple navigation—so you can spend more time scanning and less time fiddling with settings. LEDs and audible tones provide clear feedback on targets.

• Built-in rechargeable battery with approximately 10 hours runtime
• Simple mode selection: Park, Beach, All Metal for quick setup
• Clear audio and visual target feedback for efficient hunting
• Compact interface reduces complexity for first-time users

What comes in the box and how does the V10X coil perform?

The Vanquish 360 ships with a 10" x 7" V10X Double-D coil that balances depth, target separation and maneuverability. Double-D coils are forgiving on mineralized ground and offer a stable response close to the surface—useful for coins and jewellery—while still providing respectable depth for larger finds. The included coil is waterproof, so it’s ready for beach and wading use straight away.

• Included V10X 10" x 7" Double-D coil for versatility
• Good near-surface sensitivity for small targets like coins
• Durable and waterproof for multi-terrain use
• Compatible with common hunting environments out of the box

Who is this for: The MINELAB Vanquish 360 is built for beginners and casual detectors who want a lightweight, easy-to-use machine that performs reliably across parks, fields, beaches and shallow water. It’s an excellent choice for hobbyists who value low setup time, long battery life and the confidence of Multi-IQ technology without the complexity of advanced controls. Serious hobbyists looking for a portable, all-terrain backup detector will also appreciate its waterproof build and included V10X coil.
