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.
