Description
The Vanquish 560 Pro-Pack is the flagship of Minelab's new fully submersible Vanquish line - two coils, wireless earbuds, Multi-IQ, and not a single keep-it-dry caveat. This factory bundle (part 3820-1006) adds the Minelab backpack that carries the collapsed detector and both coils as one kit.
At a glance
This factory Minelab bundle (part 3820-1006) is the organized Vanquish flagship kit: the 560 Pro-Pack with two waterproof coils (V12X 12x9 in / 30x23 cm and V8X 8x5 in / 20x13 cm) and ML60 wireless earbuds, plus the Minelab detecting backpack. Multi-IQ, fully IP68 submersible to 16 ft (5 m), 3 year warranty.
Why the 560 Pro-Pack is the flagship pick
Three things separate the 560 Pro-Pack from every budget detector page you will read. First, the coils: the V12X covers open ground with depth while the V8X threads trashy, iron-heavy corners - the Pro-Pack is the only way Minelab ships the pair. Second, the audio: where the base 560 comes with wired headphones, the Pro-Pack upgrades to ML60 wireless earbuds running Bluetooth LE Audio with the LC3 codec - fast, low-latency target feedback with no cable to snag. Third, the caveat that is not there: older Vanquish models were waterproof-coil-only, and much of the internet still says so. The 560 is the new 60-series - the ENTIRE detector, control box included, is IP68 submersible to 16 ft (5 m) per Minelab's published specs. Factory-packed under one part number with manufacturer-set pricing, backpack included.
Technical specs and what they do in the field
| Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency | Equinox-family technology: stable target IDs across dirt, grass, and salt sand. |
| Fully submersible, IP68 to 16 ft (5 m) - control box included | The 60-series upgrade most of the internet has not caught up with: older Vanquish models kept the control box dry; the 560 goes all the way under. |
| TWO coils: V12X 12x9 in (30x23 cm) + V8X 8x5 in (20x13 cm) | Coverage and depth from the V12X; separation in trash from the V8X (Pro-Pack exclusive). |
| ML60 wireless earbuds, Bluetooth LE Audio (Pro-Pack exclusive) | Fast, low-latency target audio with no cable to snag - the Pro-Pack's upgrade over the base 560's wired headphones. |
| 1.26 kg (2.6 lb), internal Li-ion, USB charged | All-day light, no battery runs to the store. |
| Minelab detecting backpack (bundle exclusive) | The collapsed detector and both coils, one carry. |
| 3-year Minelab warranty | Control box and coil, backed by an authorized dealer. |

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a real Minelab bundle or a dealer kit?
A factory Minelab bundle with its own Minelab part number, 3820-1006. Most bundles online are dealer-assembled kits with third-party accessories; this one is packed by Minelab with manufacturer-set pricing, so every component is genuine Minelab under one warranty conversation.
What headphones come with the 560 Pro-Pack?
ML60 wireless earbuds with Bluetooth LE Audio and the LC3 codec for fast, low-latency target feedback. This is a Pro-Pack upgrade: the base Vanquish 560 ships with wired headphones instead.
Is the Vanquish 560 fully waterproof?
Yes. The 60-series Vanquish is IP68 rated with the entire detector, control box included, submersible to 16 ft (5 m) per Minelab - the big upgrade over the older 540 generation, whose control boxes were not submersible.
What is the difference between the 560 Pro-Pack and the standard 560?
The Pro-Pack adds the smaller V8X 8x5 in coil for trashy, tight sites alongside the standard V12X 12x9 in coil, and it includes ML60 wireless earbuds where the base 560 comes with wired headphones.
Does this bundle qualify for a military discount?
Yes. Minelab offers a 15% military discount on Minelab detectors (accessories excluded). Contact us directly at 256-284-2247 for details. It cannot be combined with other promotions or discounts.
