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. A high-performance waterproof metal detector built for serious treasure hunting.

Includes Beach Mode and Multi-Frequency Salt operation!

Utilize the power of MD-MF Technology and Multi-Salt operation. Smooth operation and deep detection depth accuracy along wet salt beaches and in the surf. Fully submersible to 16 feet, making this an ideal underwater metal detector and scuba diving companion for discovering hidden treasures and precious metals.

Recovery Speed Control

Select from Standard or Fast speed. Increased recovery/reactivity speed helps you more clearly distinguish adjacent metal objects. A great benefit for competition hunts and for hunt sites filled with unwanted metals 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! This is especially helpful for experienced metal detectorists who want more precise control while metal detecting.

Wireless ready!

Built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology means you can search without cords attached to your detector. Garrett MS-3 Z-Lynk headphones and other Z-Lynk accessories sold separately

Iron Volume to Control What You Hear

Iron Volume allows you to decrease the volume of ferrous (iron) targets, while the volume of non-ferrous targets remains at normal level. Experienced treasure hunters often like hearing all targets, but will appreciate the option to decrease the volume of undesired items. Eight adjustment levels.

Lightweight and Collapsible!

Compacts to 24.75" (62.86 cm) and extends to 56.75" (144.14 cm)
Weight: 3 lbs. (1.38 kg) with waterproof search coil cover installed.

A versatile handheld device suitable for every skill level.
