Product Description
GARRETT VORTEX VX9
★★★★★ (Professional MD-MF™ Technology)
Price: $1,200.00 USD
MORE POWER THAN VX7 | 3-Tiered Target ID & Submersible to Much more depth
“The professional Vortex™ model. Includes power and features of detectors that are twice the price.”
A Professional Treasure Hunting Machine
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.
Advanced Vortex Technologies
Full Three-Tiered MD-MF Target ID Scale
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.
MD-MF Technology Explained
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!
Lightweight and Collapsible
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.
Search Modes & Frequency Versatility
- Thin Coins Mode (VX9 Only): Designed for precision treasure hunting, this specialized mode is optimized for locating small, thin coins like hammered silver and tiny ancient gold coins. It ensures enhanced sensitivity and faster recovery speeds.
- Fast Mode: Engineered for high-trash environments, this mode helps uncover valuable targets hidden among debris. Ideal for competition hunts, it features a fast recovery speed to quickly distinguish signals.
- 3 Levels of Recovery Speed Control: Select from three recovery/reactivity speeds to optimize target separation, making it far easier to distinguish valuable finds from nearby iron debris.
- Beach Mode & Multi-Frequency Salt: Harness the power of MD-MF and Multi-Salt operation for smooth performance in challenging saltwater environments. Excellent detection depth along wet beaches and in the surf.
- Seven (7) Frequency Options: Select from five single frequencies (5 kHz, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz, or 25 kHz) or use one of two simultaneous Multi-Frequency options (Metal mode or Multi-Salt). Lower frequencies offer depth on large targets; higher frequencies excel on tiny, low-conductive items.
- Wireless Ready: Built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology allows for a completely cord-free experience with low latency and superior sound quality. (Garrett MS-3 or CS-3 headphones sold separately).
- Search Mode Versatility: Choose from 7 preset modes: Indiscriminate (Zero), Standard, USA Coins, Thin Coins, Beach/Coast, Custom (Special), and Fast Mode + Pinpoint.
Easy-Access Powerful Menu Options
- Hi-Resolution Ground Balance: 175 points of resolution for precise adjustments from ferrous ground to saltwater.
- Volume Control: Adjust settings for both the built-in speaker and connected headphones.
- 8 Sensitivity Adjustments: Select a depth setting that is most stable for your specific environment.
- Frequency Shift: Use this effectively to reduce ambient noise or electrical interference (EMI).
- Iron Audio: Accurately identifies complex iron objects like bottle caps and washers.
- Iron Volume Control: 8 adjustable levels to decrease ferrous target volume while maintaining non-ferrous volume.
- LCD Backlight: Illuminate your screen to easily view critical target information during night work.
- Rechargeable Battery: Built-in Lithium-Ion provides ~15 hours of search time.
