Description
The Minelab Vanquish 560 Pro-Pack is the complete two-coil packout of the Vanquish 60 Series, adding the precision V8X coil and ML60 wireless earbuds to the flagship 560 platform. It ships with the V12X 12 in x 9 in (30 x 23 cm) and V8X 8 in x 5 in (20 x 13 cm) Double-D search coils plus ML60 wireless earbuds, and is built on the same machine as the Vanquish 560 (step down to the 460 for the entry price).
Why the Vanquish 560 Pro-Pack
The Pro-Pack runs the same Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency platform as the 560, with Park, Field, Beach, and a custom User Profile, 30 discrimination segments, Iron Bias to −1, and 5 target tones. What sets it apart is the second search coil and wireless audio: run the V12X for coverage and depth in open ground, then switch to the V8X for precision in trashy, target-rich sites. The included ML60 earbuds use Bluetooth LE Audio with the LC3 codec for fast, low-latency target feedback, with no cable to snag on the swing or underwater.

All three run Multi-IQ simultaneous multi-frequency, are IP68 waterproof to 16 ft (5 m) with the whole detector submersible, update their software over the USB-C cable, and carry a 3 year limited warranty. The Vanquish 460 weighs 2.6 lb (1.16 kg); the 560 and Pro-Pack weigh 2.8 lb (1.26 kg). Step up to the Vanquish 560 for the larger V12X search coil, five target tones, and Iron Bias that reaches −1 for iron-choked ground. Step up to the Pro-Pack for the second V8X precision search coil and ML60 wireless earbuds included.
Your Equinox coils cross over
Here is a detail most buyers miss: the Vanquish 60 Series accepts the Minelab Equinox EQX06, EQX11, and EQX15 coils as well as its own V-series coils. If you already own an Equinox, this makes a superb waterproof backup, and your existing coils come with you. It also means the V8X, V10X, and V12X coils interchange across the whole Vanquish family, so a household running more than one Minelab, whether it is a spouse, a kid learning the hobby, or your own second machine, shares one set of coils instead of buying doubles.
Two search coils, two jobs
The V12X 12 in x 9 in (30 x 23 cm) Double-D search coil gives you wide coverage and depth for parks, fields, and beaches. The V8X 8 in x 5 in (20 x 13 cm) Double-D search coil tightens the detection footprint for better separation around obstacles and in dense trash. Both coils share the same connector, so swapping in the field takes seconds.
