Why? Because this unit is not only light-weight and comfortable to use, but my 540 Pro Pack came with the ML-80 wireless headphones which are also light and handy, fit well, and sound great.

Even better, they do not fully enclose my ears when temperatures are going to range from 94° to 106° according to four weather forecast sites for maybe the next 1½ to 2 weeks. And it could stay hot until this time or later next month..
It hit 99° today out on my very shady deck, and I am hoping to get some boxing and mailing and shopping done today and maybe find a spot or two where it's shady and bearable. Already loaded on my back-seat are a few of my Regular-Use Detectors, and that naturally includes my Vanquish 540. It has the 5X8 DD mounted and ready to do some work.
I have a very good detector and a nice mid-size coil for my needs, but I've had to start looking for some shady parks to take my V-540 and, from where I live, it means heading over into Idaho to a few of the
sort-of closer small towns. I hope you have done a little checking for cooler, shadier places to hunt in your area, unless you happen to live where it is already a location with a lot of trees around you. That's one of the
few things I enjoyed when I lived in the greater Portland, Oregon metro area. A lot of trees and shady places to hunt ....
when it was drier.
So, between later this afternoon and whatever time I can work in this hot weekend, I hope to get in some Vanquish 540 hunt-time. I trust readers will have a successful weekend hunt as well.
