ATTENTION: Don’t buy your Minelab Vanquish 560 until you’ve talked to us first. I’ll help you make sure this is the right detector for where you hunt (and whether the Pro Pack upgrades are worth it for you). Call/Text: 405-206-9010 | bart@bigboyshobbies.net

🎁 BONUS INCLUDED: This Minelab Vanquish 560 includes a FREE Minelab Vanquish Carry Bag — perfect for transport, storage, and protecting your detector between hunts.

Quick note: This is the same Vanquish 560 detector as the Pro Pack — it just does not include the ML60 wireless earbuds or the extra V8X coil. A FREE Minelab Vanquish Carry Bag is included.

The Minelab Vanquish 560 is a powerful, easy-to-run detector that gives you the controls that matter without turning every hunt into menu diving. With Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency and a fully waterproof IP68 design, the 560 is built to hunt parks, fields, and beaches with consistent performance and confident target ID.

You still get the big upgrades that make the 560 special — 5 target tones, 4 Iron Bias levels, 30 discrimination segments, and a V12X 12" x 9" Double-D coil for strong coverage and depth. If you want the best core 560 experience without paying for the Pro Pack extras, this is the one.

Bart’s take: This is the smart pick for someone who wants the 560’s performance and control, and either already has headphones or prefers wired audio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Vanquish 560 waterproof?
Yes — it’s IP68 rated and submersible to 16 feet.

Is this the same detector as the 560 Pro Pack?
Yes — it’s the same Vanquish 560 detector. The Pro Pack just adds the ML60 wireless earbuds and the extra V8X coil.

Does this include wireless headphones?
No. This package does not include ML60 wireless earbuds. It supports wired headphones via 3.5mm and includes a built-in speaker.

Does this version include a FREE carry bag?
Yes — a FREE Minelab Vanquish Carry Bag is included.

Which coil should I use if I hunt a lot of trash?

The standard V12X coil covers ground well, but if you hunt heavy trash and want better separation, consider the 560 Pro Pack with the smaller V8X coil.

Can it find gold?

It can find gold jewelry like rings and chains. For gold nugget prospecting, a dedicated gold detector is usually better — call me and I’ll steer you right.
