Discover the Revolutionary Garrett Vortex – A Future-Proof Metal Detector That Grows with You
Garrett, the renowned American brand, proudly unveils its latest technological breakthrough: the Vortex series. This line consists of three innovative models – the VX5, VX7, and VX9 – all equipped with advanced MD-MF multi-frequency technology and a striking new design. What makes the Vortex unique? You can upgrade it via software to a more advanced version without purchasing a whole new detector.
A Robust All-Rounder – Ready for Any Terrain
Every Vortex comes standard with the 21.5 x 28 cm Raider DD searchcoil, a versatile coil suitable for a wide range of ground conditions. The rugged 3-piece shaft with twist-locks ensures excellent stability and can be collapsed to just 63 cm – perfect for transport. Fully extended, the detector reaches 144 cm. The bright, intuitive display features a backlight for easy viewing in low light. Fresh blue accents give the Vortex a sporty and modern look.
Vortex VX5 – Smart Beginnings with Upgrade Potential
Why choose between a beginner and an advanced model when you can have both? The VX5 is the ideal entry-level device with upgradeability in mind. You can upgrade to the VX7 or VX9 later through a simple software update – a first in the metal detecting world.
The VX5 offers both a 13 KHz single frequency and simultaneous multi-frequency mode. With features like ground balance, metal discrimination, and numeric target ID (1-99), it helps you search with precision. Three distinct audio tones provide clues about the metal type. Choose from 4 preset search modes and dive into the exciting world of treasure hunting.
Vortex VX7 – More Control and Greater Depth
The VX7 offers more settings and enhancements. In addition to 13 KHz, it features 5 KHz single frequency and two multi-frequency modes (Multi and Multi-Salt). Response speed can be adjusted in two levels for better target separation. Dual target ID bars visually distinguish between iron and valuable metals.
This model includes Z-Lynk wireless audio compatibility and a special “Beach” mode for wet sand and saltwater environments. With 5 audio tones, you'll get even more detailed feedback from your finds.
Vortex VX9 – Ultimate Performance for Demanding Detectorists
As the flagship model, the VX9 provides the most advanced capabilities. Along with two multi-frequency modes, it offers access to five individual frequencies: 5, 9, 13, 18, and 25 KHz. You also get three separate target ID bars, allowing more precise identification and filtering of targets.
Choose from 7 search modes, including “Thin Coins” for detecting extremely thin coins and the ultra-fast “Fast” mode for clustered signals. The response speed is also adjustable in three levels.
Power of Simultaneous Multi-Frequency & Adjustable Settings
For general small items like coins and jewelry, 13 KHz is ideal. For larger, deeper targets, switch to 5 KHz, while 25 KHz excels at detecting tiny, shallow objects like gold jewelry. Thanks to Multi-Flex simultaneous frequency technology, all Vortex models can operate on multiple frequencies (5 to 25 KHz) at once, combining depth and sensitivity for superior results.
