The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector uses Garrett MD-MF technology with a three-tier target-ID display and is rated submersible to 5 metres. This metal detector's signals require field confirmation; verify the package and audio accessories before ordering.
Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector
The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector offers a three-tier MD-MF target display and is submersible to 5 metres. This metal detector uses Garrett’s multi-frequency system; Multi-IQ is a different manufacturer’s technology.
The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector offers target-ID and recovery controls for varied sites. This metal detector still requires repeat sweeps and a dug-target check before identifying a find.
Metal Detector MD-MF Overview
The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector offers a three-tier MD-MF target display that separates ferrous and nonferrous indications. This metal detector includes a FAST Mode for competition hunts and high-trash areas.
Additionally, the specialized THIN COINS Mode is intended for selected small, low-conductivity targets. The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector still needs careful settings and field confirmation; this metal detector cannot guarantee the identity or depth of a target.
Metal Detector Vortex Technology
Metal Detector Three-Tier Target ID
The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector displays one nonferrous and two ferrous target-ID scales. This metal detector can help compare difficult signals, but its readings do not prove a target’s metal composition.
Metal Detector MD-MF Frequencies
The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector uses Garrett’s MD-MF system and is part of the upgradeable Vortex family. This metal detector should be configured according to its own manual rather than Minelab Multi-IQ instructions.
Metal Detector Collapsible Design
The Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector has a collapsible shaft for field transport. This metal detector’s weight and length depend on the fitted coil and adjustments; verify the supplied configuration.
Metal Detector Search Modes
- Thin Coins Mode (VX9 Metal Detector 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.
Metal Detector Menu Controls
- 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.
