Garrett Vortex VX5 Metal Detector

The Garrett Vortex VX5 is a versatile and technologically advanced metal detector, ideal for both beginners and experienced detectorists. Its reliability and ease of use make searching for coins, relics, and jewelry more efficient and rewarding.

Key Features and Benefits:

• Multi-Flex Technology: Choose between a single frequency (13 kHz) or a simultaneous Multi-Freq. mode to effectively find a wide range of targets in any condition, from high-conductivity items like large coins to low-conductivity items like gold.
  

• Fully Waterproof: The detector and its 8.5" x 11" DD Vortex Raider™ searchcoil are completely sealed and submersible to 16 feet (5 meters). This makes it a perfect choice for searching beaches, rivers, and lakes.
  

• Convenient and Compact: The unit features a straight telescopic stem for easy adjustment. With a total weight of just 3 lbs (1.38 kgs) and a collapsed length of 24.75" (63 cm), the Vortex VX5 is highly convenient for transport and long hours of use.
  

• Functions for Precise Searching:
  

  • Target ID Scale: The detector provides a single number for each found item, helping you identify what the target is (from iron to valuable metals).
    

  • Notch Discrimination: This feature allows you to "turn off" the detection of specific unwanted targets, such as bottle caps, so you can focus on valuable finds.
    

  • Iron Audio™: A unique Garrett feature that helps you better identify and hear iron targets.
    

• Built-in Battery: The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 15 hours of continuous operation.
  

• Software Upgrades: The Vortex VX5 can be upgraded to more advanced versions (VX7, VX9) without the need to buy a new detector, making it a valuable long-term investment.
