This detector is designed for detecting in parks, beaches, fields, and shallow water – offering simplicity without sacrificing capability.

Key Benefits & Features

  • All-Metals, All Soils: Thanks to the Multi-IQ technology, there’s no need to switch frequencies when terrain changes; you’re ready for coins, jewellery, relics or caches across parks, fields, beaches. Minelab+1

  • Fully Waterproof (up to 5 m / 16 ft): With an IP68 rating and waterproof construction, the VANQUISH 360 can be used in wet terrain, creeks, shorelines, rain-soaked ground or other demanding outdoor environments. Minelab+1

  • Lightweight & Portable: Weighing just 1.16 kg (2.6 lbs) and collapsing to 79 cm (31") for transport, this detector is easy to carry and deploy. Minelab+1

  • Smart Search Modes: Includes Park, Beach and All Metal modes so you can adapt the detector with a quick button press depending on terrain and target type. Minelab+1

  • Depth & Target Clarity: With 119 distinct target IDs, six discrimination segments, five sensitivity levels and five volume levels, the VANQUISH 360 gives you the control necessary to detect deeper or isolate junk. Minelab+1

  • Pinpoint Mode Included: For accurate target location, the included Pinpoint mode allows you to zero in on buried items and dig smaller, precise holes. Minelab

  • Reliable Warranty: Backed by a 3-year warranty on the control box and coil — showing Minelab’s confidence in this detector’s durability. Minelab

Why Choose the VANQUISH 360?

If you’re seeking a metal detector that balances ease of use with serious detection capability, the VANQUISH 360 is a smart pick. Unlike some entry-detectors that limit you to single frequencies or shallow modes, this unit harnesses Multi-IQ technology — giving you advanced simultaneous multi-frequency performance in a beginner-friendly package.
The waterproof design means you are not limited to dry parks — you can go shoreline, creek, or rainy outback without compromising performance. The simplicity of operation (no complex menus or multiple swaps) makes it ideal for both new and intermediate detectorists. And the compact weight and form mean fewer aches on long sessions.

It’s also a good investment: you get full coverage across common detecting environments (parks, beaches, wet terrain), high-end core tech (Multi-IQ, pinpointer mode) and a long warranty – all under a reasonable price point compared to professional rigs.

Ideal Applications

  • Hunting coins, jewellery and relics in city parks, high-traffic fields or picnic grounds

  • Beach detecting, including wet sand and shallow water zones thanks to waterproof build

  • Exploring riverbanks, creek beds and shoreline areas where splash, sand and moisture are present

  • Hobbyists who want a durable, travel-friendly detector for camping and holiday use

  • Detecting in mixed terrain environments (grass, light brush, damp soil) where ease of use matters

  • Beginners to intermediate users looking to upgrade from a basic unit into a detector with professional-grade core tech

Technology & Practical Use Cases

Multi-IQ Technology

The heart of the VANQUISH 360 is Minelab’s Multi-IQ multi-frequency system. Instead of switching between discrete single frequencies when the ground or target type changes, Multi-IQ offers simultaneous multiple frequency operation — improving ground coverage, reducing interference and increasing the chances of detecting elusive targets in varying soils. Minelab+1
In practice, this means:

  • On a beach site with wet salt sand and dry sand transitions, the detector seamlessly handles both.

  • In a park with mix of grassy areas and old pathways, the unit adapts without you needing to change frequency.

  • In wet terrain or after a rainstorm, ground noise is better managed thanks to multi-frequency handling.

Waterproof & All-Terrain Build

Rated IP68 and waterproof to 5 m (16 ft), the VANQUISH 360 is built for real world conditions: rain, river banks, surf zones, muddy ground. Minelab+1
Practical examples:

  • Detecting along a lake shore after rainfall — you don’t need to stop when dirt gets wet or shallow shoreline pooling occurs.

  • Exploring a creek bed for lost jewelry or coins – you can submerge the coil and control box without fear of damage (within spec).

  • Beach work where splash and salt are present — the sealed design gives peace of mind.

Pinpointing and Target ID

With built-in Pinpoint mode, the VANQUISH 360 lets you zero-in on buried targets — meaning smaller holes, less guessing, more finds. Plus, with 119 Target IDs and six discrimination segments, you get more information at each target. Minelab+1
User scenario: you detect a signal, switch to Pinpoint, locate the exact spot, dig minimally — faster recovery and less digging of junk.

Lightweight & Field-Friendly Design

At just 1.16 kg (2.6 lbs) and collapsing to 79 cm (31"), the unit is easy to carry, fits in vehicles, bags or even flights. Minelab+1
This means longer detecting sessions with less fatigue, easier packing for travel or holiday hunts, and quick set up at site.

Tips for Maximum Performance

  1. Select the appropriate search mode: Use “Park” for open grassy areas with moderate trash, “Beach” for wet/dry sand transitions, and “All Metal” when you want maximum sensitivity to all targets.

  2. Adjust sensitivity carefully: Start with mid-level sensitivity; if you’re detecting in interference or trash-filled ground, reduce sensitivity until the detector remains stable.

  3. Use the discrimination segments and target ID display: The 119 target ID scale and six discrimination zones help you understand what you’re hearing/seeing — low tones often signal iron, high tones precious metals.

  4. Pinpoint smartly: When you get a target signal, engage Pinpoint mode to locate the exact spot before digging — less digging means fewer holes and faster finds.

  5. Maintain waterproof integrity: After detecting in water, rinse the unit with fresh water, ensure the headphone jack plug and charging port are clean and dry before charging. (Per Minelab’s guidelines) Minelab

  6. Pack like a pro: Collapse the shaft to 79 cm for easy transport; the lightweight 2.6 lb build means you can detect longer sessions with less fatigue.

  7. Check ground & target conditions: In highly mineralised soil, beach iron-rich zones or after storms, you may need to lower sensitivity or change modes to avoid false signals.

  8. Practice sweeps: Use a consistent sweeping motion with the coil close to the ground, overlapping each pass by ~50% to maximize coverage.

  9. Keep software updated: Whilst the VANQUISH 360 doesn’t support wireless audio, firmware updates may be available via Minelab’s “Downloads” section. Minelab

Why It’s an Investment

The VANQUISH 360 isn’t just a beginner unit; it’s a robust multi-terrain detector equipped with advanced technology that users can grow into. The Multi-IQ engine ensures you will not outgrow it quickly. Its waterproof, full-submersible design extends your detecting play into environments where lesser machines would fail. With lightweight portability and reliable construction (3-year warranty), it gives you strong value for many seasons of use.

If you ever choose to upgrade, you’ll already benefit from the Minelab detection ecosystem — making this detector a smart stepping stone rather than a dead-end purchase. Plus, because it covers parks, beaches, fields, and shorelines, you’ll find it a versatile tool to serve many hunting scenarios, which means less need for multiple machines and more time on the ground finding treasure.
