C'mon Minelab! Quit teasing us!

"accumulator" sounds so high tech and new compared to "rechargeable".

Nobody cares until there is something solid to latch on to. It's like predicting the weather in November.

My guess, based on how some of that is worded, is that its a translation from another language.

Basically - take a breath. It will be out soon enough. Right now its too hot to do much here right now anyway. Just some CRH. May get a fishing license this year. Now if it's competitively priced and is better than the Equinox, oops!

All I can say is "Vanquish" is a terrible name.....

Everyone needs to take a deep breath and relax. First of all, I found the promo video hilarious. Its yet another brilliant bit of Minelab advertising. Whoever runs their ad dept needs a healthy raise. Look at how much they have all the people talking. Same thing with the EQX, same with the CTX.

Heres the basics. It has already been slipped by multiple testers and inside people. This is NOT the next CTX or EQX or E-Trac. This is aimed at the entry to mid-level detecting market. It will be based on the M-IQ technology, but not exactly the same as the EQX. There will probably be several models of it aimed at different market tiers. Since its a multi-freq it will already beat the pants off every other entry level machine. If it turns out to be waterproof (resistant) it will basically be nail in the coffin of many companies.

Sounds like it will fill in the 705/ 505/305 range ? Bruce Candy is looking more like Dr Evil from Austin powers every day... his plans on detector world domination....

Hahaha.

I know other companies are working on discriminating PIs for beach hunting. I wonder if ML has something waiting in the eves. I can see a company waiting for another company to be poised for release and then drop theirs first.

Hi , Go spy on them testing the new model Technology Park 2 Second Avenue Mawson Lakes South Australia 5095 TP

 

[smokeythecat]

If it indeed "entry level" or "lower end", as some of us call machines under $500, the Equinox users will be safe. Just have to wait and see.

 

[Gare]

Someone please correct me if i am wriong but the machine that guy threw down or away looked like a White's

 

[Toecutter]

Anyone else seeing this when they try to watch the video??

 

[GeoW]

Seems as if the point of the add is dude finds trash, gets pissed and heaves brand x detector and walks away, leaving all the good treasure as ghost that the new minelab would have found.

Someone go get Calabash!

Yep I do now. They must only want it available for folks to view on their site and I now see it there on the company home page.

You can figure out a lot when you read between the lines and look at past practices...

From what people are saying (or at least my interpretation), it has inferior performance to the Equinox since it's more of a beginner model.

 

[Jason in Enid]

I havent heard anyone talk about performance. Many times, companies will release cheaper versions of their higher-level machines, but without many of the features and adjustments. If this were going to be a scaled down NOX, it might be with a fixed GB, IB, Recovery, and fewer modes. Just guessing there, but that is the MO of many detector lines.

 

[Minelab Matt]

OR...Minelab will really PI** people off by announcing something like....The new Vanquish, made to obselete all multi-IQ metal detectors....LOL
