How it differs from its neighbors
One step up, the Vanquish 540 keeps the mode list and the -19 to 40, 25 segments scale. Minelab is consistent there: one 12 x 9-inch V12 and NiMH cells with a USB charger. Wireless audio comes built in, as Bluetooth aptX Low Latency.
Below it, the Vanquish 340 saves weight, at 2.6 lb. It hunts on a 10 x 7-inch V10 coil with four alkaline AA cells, and its box has None included for headphones.
Surf hunters need more: the X-Terra Pro can be fully submerged, IP68 to 16 ft (5 m).

Questions about the Vanquish 440
Answered from Minelab's tech specs page, read Oct. 16, 2026.
Its coil can, to 3.3 ft (1 m). Nothing in Minelab's specs rates the housing above it, so treat that part as dry-only.
Minelab gives two answers: the 10 x 7-inch V10 under supplied accessories, and the 12 x 9-inch V12 as the standard coil. Check the box contents with the seller before you buy.
Both have the same five modes and weigh 2.8 lb. The 540 adds Bluetooth aptX Low Latency built in. Its page gives one coil, the V12, and rechargeable NiMH cells.
