MINELAB Vanquish 560 Metal Detector — V12X 12" Double-D Coil, Multi-IQ, Lightweight Waterproof

The MINELAB Vanquish 560 is a compact, fully submersible metal detector with Multi-IQ multi-frequency sensing, a waterproof V12X 12" Double-D coil, and simple controls for fast-start detecting.

Designed to be approachable for beginners yet capable enough for experienced hobbyists, the Vanquish 560 balances portability with robust detection features. Its Multi-IQ technology combines multiple frequencies simultaneously so you don't need to swap coils or change frequency settings when terrain or target types vary. Lightweight and weatherproof, this model is built to perform on parks, fields, and beaches—and it includes wired headphones and a rechargeable battery so you can go out the door and start searching.

How does Multi-IQ make finding targets easier?

Multi-IQ runs several frequencies at once, widening the range of targets the detector can respond to in a single pass. That reduces the need to carry different machines or constantly change coils when switching between coins, jewelry and small gold, and helps maintain stable performance across mixed soils.

• Simultaneous multi-frequency reception for broader target detection
• Stable response across varying ground mineralization
• Fewer settings to manage—turn on and begin searching

Is the Vanquish 560 suitable for water and wet conditions?

Yes—the Vanquish 560 has an IP68 rating and can be submerged to depths up to 16 feet, so it handles shoreline, creek and shallow-water detecting without special modification. Seals and corrosion-resistant components protect electronics from water ingress while maintaining full detection capability when wet.

• IP68 fully submersible design for shallow-water searches
• Corrosion-resistant construction for beach and saltwater use
• Reliable performance in rain, mud and shoreline surf

What makes it easy to use for beginners?

The control layout and display are intentionally simple: select one of the preset search modes—Park, Field or Beach—or save your own custom User Profile for preferred settings. A red LED screen and a built-in flashlight help in low light, while the lightweight 2.8 lb build reduces arm fatigue for longer hunts.

• Beginner-friendly presets plus one customizable user profile
• Intuitive controls and readable LED display
• Lightweight 2.8 lb design for comfortable handheld use

How long will the battery and included accessories support a day out?

The detector uses an internal rechargeable lithium-ion battery that provides up to 10 hours of continuous operation on a single charge. Out of the box you receive a waterproof V12X 12" x 9" Double-D coil and wired headphones, giving you everything needed for many different terrains.

• Up to 10 hours runtime per charge for extended detecting
• V12X 12" Double-D coil included for broad, stable coverage
• Wired headphones supplied for clear audio feedback

Who is this for? The MINELAB Vanquish 560 is ideal for new detectorists who want a low-friction entry into multiple environments, as well as intermediate hobbyists seeking a lightweight, waterproof backup with capable multi-frequency performance. If you hunt parks, fields, or beaches and want a detector that’s ready straight from the box—with a rechargeable battery, headphones and a versatile Double-D coil—this model provides a strong balance of ease-of-use, portability and dependable detection performance.
