Garrett Vortex VX9 Metal Detector | Multi-Frequency Precision, Waterproof, Wireless Performance Built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology User-controlled Reaction/Reactivity Speed. Highly sensitive, with lightning-fast target separation Waterproof design Makes it fully submersible to 16 feet (5 meters) with Button Lock feature Powered by Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency technology, with advanced Iron Boundary and Bottlecap Reject controls in MF operation. Choice of either single or multi-frequency operation. Powerful single frequencies include: 5 kHz, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz, and 25 kHz Seven Search Mode options Hi-Resolution Ground Balance to handle highly mineralized soils and even saltwater. 8.5" x 11" DD Raider™ searchcoil with coil cover included Includes Volume Control, LCD backlight, Iron Audio feature, and multiple channels (minor frequency shifts to help eliminate EMI). High-performance Pinpoint Mode to help recover targets faster. Enhanced with Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency (MD-MF) Technology Garrett’s Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency (MD-MF) Technology delivers more advanced detection depth and precise target analysis. By simultaneously using multiple frequencies and analyzing multiple dimensions of conductivity and ferrous (iron) content, it ensures superior detection accuracy for metal targets. The World’s First Fully-Transformable Metal Detector Series! As your metal detecting skills advance, you can upgrade your Vortex detector with software enhancements to access the newer, more powerful model, which includes additional operating frequencies, advanced features, increased power, and a three-tiered Target ID graphical display. 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. Frequency Choices: Choose to detect in a powerful single frequency (choice of 5 kHz, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz, or 25 kHz), or in one of Vortex’s simultaneous multi-frequency options (Multi or Multi-Salt). 5-Tone Audible Target ID: Delivers five unique audio tones for enhanced identification of metal objects, or choose 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” (remove from audible detection) other ranges of non-ferrous targets. Rechargeable Battery: The built-in lithium-ion battery delivers up to 15 hours of continuous use, providing enough power 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 VX-9 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 (includes discrimination pattern ideal for U.S. coins), Thin Coins (for hammered silver coins, small gold coins), Fast Mode (for competition hunts and trashy search areas), Beach Mode, and 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, and an upper ferrous scale that helps identify flat or tricky iron targets. Reaction Speed Control: User can increase the detector’s reaction speed, allowing better ability to separate adjacent metallic targets. This can help you uncover treasure targets that might normally be hidden by adjacent trash.
