Description
The Minelab Vanquish 560 is the flagship of the Vanquish 60 Series, pairing Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency detecting with the larger V12X coil, five target tones, and four levels of Iron Bias control. It ships with the V12X 12 in x 9 in (30 x 23 cm) Double-D search coil, wired headphones, and Bluetooth LE Audio support.
Why the Vanquish 560
Multi-IQ technology transmits across multiple frequencies at once, so target IDs stay stable as ground mineralization changes. Compared to the 460, the 560 steps up to the deeper V12X coil, 5 target tones for sharper audio separation, 4 Iron Bias levels, and a red LED monochrome display for high visibility in low light. Handgrip vibration gives a tactile alert on every signal, which helps in noisy surf and busy parks.

The V12X search coil
The V12X 12 in x 9 in (30 x 23 cm) Double-D search coil increases ground coverage and depth while holding solid target separation. The Double-D design handles mineralized ground efficiently and keeps IDs steady in iron-heavy soil, making it a strong choice for open parks, fields, and beaches.
