The Garrett Vortex VX5 Detector is a strong entry-level metal detector for treasure hunters who want reliable performance, easy controls, and room to grow. This waterproof detector is fully submersible up to 16 feet. Because of that, it is a great choice for fields, beaches, shallow water, wet ground, and everyday detecting.
The VX5 also includes fast fixed Recovery Speed. As a result, it can help separate nearby targets more clearly. This is useful when valuable finds are close to trash, iron, or other unwanted items. In addition, the detector includes Single and Multi-Frequency options, a single-tier MD-MF Target ID scale, three audio tones, four search modes, and eight sensitivity settings.
For added ease, the Garrett Vortex VX5 Detector is wireless-ready. It can pair with optional Garrett Z-Lynk headphones or a compatible pinpointer. Plus, the backlit LCD screen makes settings easier to see in changing light. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery and included charging cable also make it simple to power up before your next hunt.
Another key benefit is upgradeability. As your skills improve, you can upgrade the VX5 to a VX7 or VX9 model through software updates. Each upgrade adds more operating frequencies, more features, and more detecting power.
