How it differs from its neighbors
The Vanquish 440 has the same five modes, the same 2.8 lb and the same 25-segment target scale. Its spec page names the V10 coil in one place and the V12 in another. It also lists alkaline AA cells in one spot, rechargeable NiMH cells in another.
At the bottom of the line, the Vanquish 340 saves 0.2 lb, at 2.6 lb. Its screen splits targets into fewer steps, -19 to 40 (5 segments), and it drops Custom and Relic for All Metal, Jewellery and Coin. Power comes from 4 x AA alkaline (supplied), with headphones listed as None included.
All three Vanquish models list 3 years (control box and coil) of warranty, and all three keep only the coil waterproof.

Questions about the Vanquish 540
Answered from Minelab's tech specs page, read Oct. 16, 2026.
Partly. The search coil can go under, to 3.3 ft (1 m); the control box has no rating, so hold it above the water.
Yes. Minelab lists Bluetooth aptX Low Latency built in, plus wired headphones in the box. For the Vanquish 340, it lists headphones as None included and no Bluetooth.
A bundle around the detector. The Amazon listing we link names two waterproof coils and a carry bag. Minelab's standard box holds the V12 coil, wired headphones and rechargeable batteries with a USB charger.
