1. How to Set Up Sensitivity & Discrimination
Don't let chatter ruin your hunt. Learning to balance your sensitivity and discrimination is the key to deep, clear signals.
Sensitivity: We show you how to run your machine "hot" without it becoming unstable. Learn when to max it out for depth and when to dial it back to stop false signals in mineralized soil.
Discrimination: Stop digging pull tabs and iron nails. We explain how to customize your discrimination segments to ignore the junk while keeping the gold and silver tones clear.
Terrain Tactics: Beach vs. Fields
The Multi-IQ engine handles different grounds automatically, but your mode selection matters.
In the Fields: Learn how to set up for Relic Hunting, allowing you to hear deep silver and brass targets that other modes might mask out.
VANQUISH 560
The Ultimate Beginner’s Field Guide
By Paul Cee Crawfords Metal Detectors UK
Welcome to the definitive guide for the Minelab Vanquish 560. Whether you are unboxing your machine for the first time or looking to sharpen your field skills, this guide—created by Minelab Detexpert Paul Cee—is designed to turn confusing numbers into treasure in your pouch.
💡 Paul Cee’s Golden Rule
"A quiet machine is always more efficient than a noisy one. Never chase high sensitivity if it causes chatter—you’ll only end up missing the very targets you're looking for."
📊 Sensitivity
Higher sensitivity increases "reach," but amplifies ground noise. If the machine chatters, it drowns out the tiny whispers of deep targets.
🧲 Discrimination
This filters out "junk" like nails. Be careful: blocking iron can "mask" a silver coin if it's sitting right next to a rusty nail.
Target ID
The main digital readout. Silver and coins show higher numbers.
Depth
Shows how deep you need to dig. Fewer arrows mean a shallower find.
