MORE POWER THAN VX7 | 3-Tiered Target ID & Submersible to 16 FT
“The professional Vortex™ model. Includes power and features of detectors that are twice the price.”
This professional metal detector model is designed specifically for serious treasure hunting. It features a full three-tiered accurate target ID display, including two ferrous scales to help effectively filter out unwanted iron trash. The Vortex VX9 offers different types of detection modes, including a FAST Mode for competition hunts and high-trash areas.
Additionally, the specialized THIN COINS Mode completely enhances the detection of fine, low-conductivity targets like hammered silver and tiny ancient gold coins. With adjustable sensitivity settings, superior audio control, and multiple frequency choices, this high-quality metal detector proves ideal for professionals seeking precise detection depth and accuracy in all environments.
More target information so you can make better dig decisions! When using multi-IQ technology, the Vortex VX9’s accurate target ID system features a non-ferrous scale along with two ferrous scales to distinctly separate valuable finds from unwanted iron trash. This ensures complex targets register across multiple scales simultaneously.
The world’s first fully upgradeable underwater metal detector series! As your skills increase, you can transform your VX5 to a VX7 or VX9 with paid software upgrades. Each Vortex model upgrade includes additional operating frequencies, more advanced features, and more power to actively enhance your treasure-hunting experience!
The Vortex VX9 features a highly portable foldable design, compacting to just 24.75″ (62.86 cm) for easy storage and extending to 56.75″ (144.14 cm) for comfortable use. Weighing only 3 lbs. (1.38 kg) with the coil cover installed, it serves as the perfect choice for users who want a portable yet extremely powerful tool.
