I have a Vanq 540 and Nox 800. Use the nox 800 99% of the time and have the 540 for backup because it has the same tones and TID range as the 800 and that makes life easy for me.
The 540 is a great beginner's machine and quite good. It is much more stable and quieter than the 800. Plus not much to fool with. I just select coin mode for greater separation and relic mode for greater depth. Both modes quiet and stable. A lot of this is due to the 800 is a hot, hot machine picking up every tiny little bits of metal in the ground. The 540 seems to ignore a lot of the little stuff.
Found some clad. a dime at about 10 inches, another dime and quarter at about 4 inches. Super quiet. You basically don't hear anything until you get some junk like poptops, pulltabs, foil and good targets. Both come in clear with the audio and stable in terms of bouncy ID's.
Not a bad machine for a beginner who wants to just basically turn on and hunt and not spend months and months learning the machine which is what will happen when a total newbie buys the Nox 800. Or he will give up the hobby.
