Advanced Features

The Garrett Vortex VX9 is a powerful and lightweight professional metal detector designed for versatility across large areas with varied terrain. Its advanced features allow treasure hunters to focus on valuable metal objects. The VX9 stands out among top metal detector models for its precision and performance.

Feature Highlights:

• Frequency Choices: Detect in a powerful single frequency (5 kHz, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz, or 25 kHz) or simultaneous multi-frequency options (Multi or Multi-Salt).
• 5-Tone Audible Target ID: Provides five unique audio tones for enhanced identification of metal objects, or choose a 3-Tone option.
• Hi-Resolution Discrimination: Remove certain ranges of metallic targets from audible detection. Includes full range of iron (ferrous) target discrimination and the ability to “notch out” other ranges of non-ferrous targets.
• Rechargeable Battery: Built-in lithium-ion battery delivers up to 15 hours of continuous use for a full day of treasure hunting on a single charge.
• Iron Audio: Enables users to hear discriminated iron targets, helping avoid digging unwanted flat iron items like bottle caps.
• Iron Boundary: Exclude unwanted chunky iron objects while operating in Multi-Frequency mode for more efficient detection.
• Bottlecap Reject Control: Eliminate bottlecaps and similar unwanted flat iron objects during Multi-Frequency operation.
• Iron Volume Control: Reduce the audio volume of unwanted iron targets while keeping the volume for non-ferrous targets unchanged.

Technical Specifications

Search Coil:

• The Vortex VX9 is equipped with an 8.5" x 11" DD Raider™ waterproof search coil, engineered for superior depth and sensitivity. A searchcoil cover is included to protect your coil.

Detection Modes:

Includes seven detection modes, plus Pinpoint:

• Zero Discrimination
• Standard Mode: Ideal for most coin, jewelry, and relic hunters.
• USA Coins Mode: Features a discrimination pattern ideal for U.S. coins.
• Thin Coins: Perfect for hammered silver coins and small gold coins.
• Fast Mode: Designed for competition hunts and trashy search areas.
• Beach Mode
• Custom Mode

MD-MF Target ID Scale:

On the VX9, three Target ID scales help identify a target:

• A lower common ferrous target scale
• A central non-ferrous scale
• An upper ferrous scale that helps identify flat or tricky iron targets.

Reaction Speed Control:

User-controlled reaction speed provides better ability to separate adjacent metallic targets. This feature helps uncover treasure targets that might normally be hidden by adjacent trash.
