OK, I'm hearing entry level multi-frequency, VFLEX IQ, Frequency: 7 / 18,75 kHz. That was on another forum, not an official minelab post.

Please bring back one that the depth meter is actually on!!!!

What do you mean? My depth meter works fine

No where as accurate as my Explorer II

As with any machine, the depth can be off on very small items or when you use the big-ole-coil.
Vanquish sounds good for an entry level, if the spoilers are to be believed. It's not going to obsolete the CTX. By the way, I have officially had "Chloe" my CTX for 7 years! Happy CTX-iversary y'all.

You are probably right. I just got to thinking that maybe the investors were saying your pricing yourself out of the mark with $2500 machines. Time will tell but I'll have one none the less....

Here are some thoughts and ideas about what it will likely be.

Good write up by Jason, be sure and go read it.
My money is on the last bit he wrote - VFLEX IQ. The two frequencies posted are the two lower of the X-Terra’s three frequencies.
If it turns out that this is correct....Then what we will have looks a lot like X-Terra replacement with some “IQ” secret sauce mumbojumbo (or even some actual engineering) to explain why a selectable singlefreaker is big news after they pronounced all of them obsolete.
Here’s a quote from Minelab when the Nox was rolled out...
“While we could have taken the approach of putting the X-TERRA (VFLEX technology) in a waterproof housing and adding a selectable frequency range, this would have been following the path of many of our competitors in just rehashing an older single frequency technology that had already reached its performance limits. Another option would have been to create a lower cost waterproof FBS detector, but that also had its challenges with FBS being ‘power hungry’, needing heavier batteries, heavier coils, etc., and relatively high cost compared to the more recent advances that our R&D team have been making with the latest electronics hardware and signal processing techniques.
When Minelab develop a new detecting technology we aim to create a paradigm shift from existing products and provide a clear performance advantage for our customers.”

If this turns out to be a selectable freq singlefreaker, they “got some ‘splainin to do”.

Des This isn't a replacement for the 3030 is it?

Or will this replace the Minelag Equinox 6 and 800? This would be very sad because I only just got my Equinox 600 yesterday. Should I return it and wait for the Vanquish??
