LONDON, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Minelab officially unveiled the new VANQUISH 60 Series on 11 September 2025 at a press event held at the remarkable National Gallery Museum in London. The exclusive launch welcomed media representatives, Minelab dealers, and invited guests to witness the first presentation of the new detectors.
The event featured a special speech by Helen Skelton, who shared her personal experiences in the field of adventure and discovery, highlighting the excitement and accessibility of metal detecting. Minelab President Ben Harvey addressed the audience with the company’s vision and innovation journey, while Minelab General Manager Engineering Mark Lawrie provided a live demonstration of the VANQUISH 60 Series, showcasing its advanced features and performance.
Following the premiere, Minelab brought the VANQUISH 60 Series to the wider detecting community at Detectival 2025 on 13 September. At the Minelab booth, visitors tested the full VANQUISH range, participated in Minelab University sessions with engineers and Detexperts, and connected directly with the brand.
Accessible Technology for All
Designed for those starting their journey in metal detecting while seeking professional performance, the VANQUISH 60 Series introduces versatile, lightweight models at a starting retail price of USD $249.00. This new generation delivers premium Minelab technology crafted to redefine expectations in entry-level detectors.
The first-generation VANQUISH Series has already been recognised for transforming what newcomers can expect from a detector. With technology traditionally reserved for higher-end models, VANQUISH opened a new category in the hobby, offering advanced features at an approachable level.
“When we launched the VANQUISH 40 Series six years ago, it was a game changer for entry-level detecting, becoming one of our most successful global product lines,” said Jeff Augustine, Minelab’s Global Vice President of Marketing. “With the new VANQUISH 60 Series, a new era begins. We’ve taken everything that made VANQUISH a success and elevated it further. Our expectations are not just to match that success, but to double it, bringing more people into the detecting community than ever before.”
