Garrett Vortex VX9 Professional Metal Detector with Waterproof Coil - Gold & Treasure Hunting for Beach, Park & Outdoor Adventures

Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector

The Garrett Vortex VX9 model is the "Professional's" choice in the series. It features full three-tiered MD-MF Target ID display, which includes two ferrous scales for identifying unwanted iron trash. The VX9 also offers Multi-Salt and additional frequency options. Enhanced Recovery Speed controls and a FAST Mode make it ideal for competition hunts and high-trash areas. Additionally, the THIN COINS Mode is perfect for detecting fine, low-conductivity coins such as hammered silver and thin gold coins.

FULL THREE-TIERED MD-MF TARGET ID SCALE

When operating in Multi-Frequency, the VX9's Target ID system displays a non-ferrous scale and two ferrous scales to help identify unwanted iron trash. Complex targets may indicate on both scales simultaneously.

THIN COINS MODE

Perfect setting made specifically for going after small thin coins - hammered silvers, tiny ancient gold coins, etc.

FAST MODE

Designed for use in trashy areas, where abundant trash can mask adjacent coins. Also ideal for use in competition hunts. Includes fast recovery speed and reduced iron volume.

3 LEVELS OF RECOVERY SPEED CONTROL

Choose from three recovery speeds. Increased recovery/reactivity speed helps you more clearly distinguish adjacent targets. A great benefit for competition hunts and for hunt sites filled with metallic trash that might otherwise mask good targets.

BEACH MODE AND MULTI-FREQUENCY SALT OPERATION

Utilize the power of MD-MF Technology and Multi-Salt operation. Smooth operation and deep Target ID accuracy along wet salt beaches and in the surf. Fully submersible to 16 feet.

SEVEN (7) FREQUENCY OPTIONS

Choose from five powerful single frequencies (5 kHz, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz, or 25 kHz) or search with one of two Vortex simultaneous Multi-Frequency options (the traditional Multi or Multi-Frequency Salt for saltwater beach use).

• Iron Volume allows you to decrease the volume of ferrous (iron) targets, while the volume of non-ferrous targets remains at normal level. Experienced treasure hunters often like hearing all targets, but will appreciate the option to decrease the volume of undesired items. Eight adjustment levels.
