Vortex VX9 Metal Detector (GAR1143060)

Vortex VX9 Metal Detector is the professional-grade model designed for serious treasure hunters. It features a full three-tier MD-MF Target ID display with two ferrous scales to help distinguish trash from desirable targets, plus Multi-Salt operation and multiple frequency options. Recovery speed controls and FAST Mode support fast, precise digs in trashy sites and competition hunts, while Thin Coins Mode targets small, thin coins such as hammered silver or tiny ancient gold coins.

Designed for field versatility, the VX9 is lightweight and collapsible, folding to 24.75 inches and extending to 56.75 inches, about 3 pounds with the coil cover installed. It offers seven frequency options (five single frequencies: 5 kHz, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz, and 25 kHz; plus two simultaneous Multi-Frequency modes for standard Multi and Multi-Frequency Salt for saltwater beaches), along with eight sensitivity/depth adjustments, a broad range of search modes including Thin Coins, Fast, Zero Discrimination, Beach, Standard, US Coins, and Custom. An eight-level Iron Volume control fine-tunes ferrous responses, while backlit LCD, a rechargeable lithium-ion battery delivering roughly 15 hours of use, and built-in Z-Lynk wireless enable cord-free operation. The detector is submersible to 16 feet, and MD-MF Technology supports upgrades within the Vortex family via software updates, letting newer frequencies and features be added as skills grow.
