I've had my Tesoro Silver Umax for close to 25 years and decided to upgrade.I've only been detecting with the Vanquish 340 for about 1/2 hour over previously detected ground and have found numerous wheats. The Vanquish 340 is amazing and I cannot wait to detect longer tomorrow at a few tot lots. Will update more if any issues.Update found silver in the yard of our old farmhouse. Very pleased with this machine.

It is a very basic metal detector it's pretty much turn on and go. The multi IQ function is fantastic as is all the minelab models.This is a basic functionality metal detector which is easily usable from adults. Write down to kids. If you have very little experience in metal detecting, this is your option That will probably suit your best as you begin your journey in metal detecting and the learning curve that comes with the hobby...The coil is great, it's not too big, not too small. There is no skid plate for it.The machine seems like it is made very cheap.But it does do a great job detecting metals.

This model and brand came recommended to me by a pro medal detectorist who has a popular YouTube channel. She uses high-end thousand dollar Minelabs, but said for my $200 budget this would be the one I should get. She was right! This thing is amazing. Setup and ready to use a seconds, and very accurate! No lag in beeps and even though there's no pin point feature it's accurate enough to actually hit the spot every time. If you learn the swipe method to pin pointing it's even easier to locate.I found a penny and dime 4" in the ground with my first try. It was spot on with the coin detection and location.I would suggest also buying a cheap pin point wand as this makes life much easier when trying to locate tiny objects in deeper soils and sand. You can pick one up on Amazon for around $20 and they work just fine. But don't skimp on your detector! Get a Minelab.I had a very limited budget and had first purchased a $100 dollar off-brand unit and was nothing but frustrated with it. It lagged, wouldn't detect accurate, and would get a lot of background noise and false detection. I wish I had saved my $100 and put it into this unit first.My advice, spend an extra $100 and get this unit! Your life will be much happier and make this hobby far more fun and worth it.I've now found .11 cents with it so far and only have $198.89 left to find to pay for itself. LOLIt's a great hobby to get you out walking and you never know what you will find!It's super fast and easy to setup, lightweight but sturdy, adjustable.Some reviews complained it was too flimsy. I would say it's not flimsy, but strong and lightweight.It's plastic so it won't rust when you are out in the water or rain but it's strong. You don't want to be swinging something heavy for hours. I've used this for at least 2 hours at a time and never got tired and never a sore muscle.This unit also comes with a Micro USB port in the battery compartment so you can install MineLab software updates to keep your unit working its best! I updated mine right after I got it.If you are looking to get into detecting and only have a $200 budget, you can't go wrong with this brand and model! It comes with a 3 year transferable warranty as well.I'm new to this hobby and loving it. Hope this review helps others like myself.

Brand new, works great everything advertised would do business with them again

Great metal detector for those starting out and for advanced users

This is a good detector been very light due to carbon fiber shafts which are also very easy to adjust. My only issue is that it does not have pinpoint feature and does not include the velcro strap for the cuff. The next model up does. I was aware of this before purchasing but did not feel like shelling out the extra dollars for it. I found a ring the first day of use with this. I almost want to return it for the lack of pinpoint but I still want to use it. Overall it is a good product.
