The Garrett Vortex VX9 Detector is the professional model in the Garrett Vortex lineup. It is built for detectorists who want advanced target control, more frequency choices, and strong performance in tough search areas. Because of its powerful feature set, the Garrett Vortex VX9 Detector is a great choice for serious treasure hunting, relic hunting, coin shooting, beach hunting, and competition hunts.
This detector includes a full three-tiered Multi-Dimensional and Multi-Frequency Technology Target ID display. As a result, users can better read targets before digging. The display also includes two ferrous scales, which help identify unwanted iron trash. This makes it easier to focus on better targets in high-trash areas.
In addition, the Garrett Vortex VX9 Detector includes Multi-Salt and extra frequency choices. You can choose from five single frequencies: 5 kHz, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz, or 25 kHz. Plus, you can search with one of two Vortex simultaneous Multi-Frequency options for added flexibility.
The VX9 also includes extra Recovery Speed controls. Therefore, users can fine-tune performance based on the ground, target density, and search style. FAST Mode is ideal for competition hunts and high-trash search areas. THIN COINS Mode is designed to help detect fine, lower-conductive coins, such as hammered silver and thin gold coins.
For added convenience, the Garrett Vortex VX9 Detector is fully submersible to 16 feet. It also includes a thin backlit LCD screen, an 8.5 x 11 inch search coil, and built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology. This allows users to search without cords when paired with compatible Garrett Z-Lynk headphones or accessories. Please note that Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk headphones and other Z-Lynk accessories are sold separately.
The detector compacts to 24.75 inches and extends to 56.75 inches. It weighs only 3 lbs. with the coil cover installed, so it is easy to carry during long hunts.
