I own a Minelab Equinox and bought the Vanquish 340 as a backup detector. I have owned it for a couple months now. The coil size makes it ideal for working school and park play areas. Performance is outstanding and the auto noise cancelling makes it a smooth quiet running detector. Target ID and Depth are right on.
