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.
