Minelab Vanquish 560 Metal Detector

The Minelab Vanquish 560 Metal Detector

Maximum Feedback – Advanced Performance Without Complexity

The Minelab Vanquish 560 is the most advanced detector in the Vanquish 60 Series and is designed for detectorists who want the most information possible from every signal.

Powered by Multi-IQ® simultaneous multi-frequency technology, the Vanquish 560 delivers excellent depth, stable target identification and confident performance across all ground types. It builds on the Vanquish 460 by introducing five target tones with adjustable iron volume, allowing experienced users to interpret targets more precisely before digging — especially in iron-heavy or challenging ground.

The larger V12X™ search coil provides increased ground coverage and improved depth, making the Vanquish 560 particularly effective on large fields, beaches and older sites. Additional features such as wireless audio, vibration feedback, red LED backlight and integrated flashlight make it a powerful all-conditions detector.

Fully waterproof to 5 metres (IP68), rechargeable and well balanced, the Vanquish 560 delivers near-professional performance while remaining approachable and enjoyable to use.

Multi-IQ Technology
Powered by Minelab’s industry-leading Multi-IQ® simultaneous multi-frequency technology, the Vanquish 560 analyses targets using multiple frequencies at the same time.

This results in excellent depth, stable target ID and reliable performance across all ground types — from iron-heavy farmland to mineralised soil and saltwater beaches.

Minelab Multi-IQ Technology
Multi-IQ allows the Vanquish 560 to detect a wider range of metals more accurately than single-frequency detectors, even in difficult conditions.

Easy to Use, Ready to Explore
Despite its advanced features, the Vanquish 560 remains approachable and intuitive. Pre-set detecting modes allow you to start hunting immediately, while advanced audio and control options are there when you’re ready to use them.

It’s a detector that rewards experience without punishing those still learning.
