Most top-end headphones allow you to still hear a conversation at a certain decibel which can be lifesaving. Unfortunately, the Minelab Vanquish 540 is not a Pro metal detector. Still, it is an excellent machine for any beginner or more advanced hunter.The instructions make assembly easy. The unit is divided into two sections, with the top arm housing the control panel. The grip is rubbery, making it slip-proof, especially in the rain. The control panel feels solid and well assembled onto the arm. It doesn’t feel shaky or loose.

I also really like the vibration target alert on the Simplex +. This is handy when you are metal detecting in an area that is populated and you either cannot hear your metal detector well, do not want to wear headphones (or it is dangerous to do so), or you simply do not want to draw too much attention to yourself or bother others with the constant beep of a metal detector.

Ten setting levels ensure decreasing iron volume to its minimum and leave non-ferrous targets sound clearer and louder. You can activate and adjust this function by holding the All metal, Volume, and +/- buttons. This feature is convenient if you own a good set of wireless headphones that cup the ears and have a noise-canceling feature. You want to hear all the essential sounds coming from the Vanquish 540 without other sound interference.
