Garrett Vortex Series
VX5
The VX5, the entry model in the Vortex series, is designed with essential features that ensure efficient performance. It offers rapid, fixed Recovery Speed for nearby targets and is fully waterproof up to 16 feet (5 meters). Users can choose between single and Multi-Frequency options. The single-tier MD-MF Target ID scale provides three distinct audio tones, making it a versatile choice for various detecting conditions.
VX7
MORE POWER THAN VX5
The VX7 is a step up from the VX5, offering enhanced capabilities. It includes a broader range of frequency and mode options, such as the powerful Multi-Frequency Salt mode for wet sand and saltwater surf. The VX7 features a two-tiered MD-MF Target ID display with separate scales for ferrous and non-ferrous targets, additional audio tones, and adjustable Recovery Speed, making it a more advanced tool for serious detecting.
VX9
MORE POWER THAN VX7
The VX9 is the professional’s choice in the Vortex series. It boasts a comprehensive three-tiered MD-MF Target ID display, including two ferrous scales to help identify unwanted iron trash. The VX9 comes with a Multi-Salt mode and a wider selection of frequency options. Additional Recovery Speed controls, FAST Mode for competitive hunts and high-trash areas, and THIN COINS Mode for detecting fine, low-conductive coins like hammered silver and thin gold coins make the VX9 an exceptional tool for professional use.
