VX7

MORE POWER THAN VX5

More advanced. Includes more frequency and mode options than VX5, including the powerful Multi-Frequency Salt mode for wet sand and saltwater surf use. Two-tiered MD-MF Target ID display (with separate ferrous and non-ferrous target scales). Additional audio tones plus adjustable Recovery Speed.

Includes Beach Mode and Multi-Frequency Salt operation!

Utilize the power of MD-MF Technology and Multi-Salt operation. Smooth operation and deep Target ID accuracy along wet salt beaches and in the surf. Fully submersible to 16 feet.

Recovery Speed control

Select from Standard or Fast speed. Increased recovery/reactivity speed helps you more clearly distinguish adjacent targets. A great benefit for competition hunts and for hunt sites filled with metallic trash that might otherwise mask good targets.

Dual Target ID Scale

When operating in Multi-Frequency, the VX7’s Target ID system displays both a ferrous target scale and a non-ferrous scale. Complex targets may indicate on both scales simultaneously. More target information . . . so you can make better dig decisions!

Wireless ready!

Built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology means you can search without cords attached to your detector.

Compacts to 24.75" (62.86 cm) and extends to 56.75" (144.14 cm)
