Minelab Vanquish 460

Minelab VANQUISH® 460 Metal Detector – Advanced Performance for New Detectorists

The VANQUISH® 460 is engineered for those new to metal detecting who want more than basic entry-level performance. Built by Minelab, the VANQUISH 460 is powered by Multi-IQ® technology, enabling it to read multiple frequencies simultaneously for faster target recognition, wider ground coverage, and improved accuracy.

With its IP68 waterproof rating, the VANQUISH 460 is fully submersible up to 5 meters (16 ft), making it ideal for detecting in parks, fields, beaches, and shallow water. The included V10X 10" x 7" Double-D coil provides precise target response, while built-in handgrip vibration ensures you never miss a signal—even in noisy environments.

Multi-IQ® Technology & Search Modes

Minelab’s Multi-IQ® technology allows the VANQUISH 460 to detect a wide range of targets in a single sweep. Choose from three optimized search modes to match your environment:

• Beach Mode – Stable performance on wet sand and saltwater

A custom user search profile lets you save preferred settings for quick access.
