Powered by Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency (MD-MF) Technology
Garrett’s Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency (MD-MF) Technology provides deeper and more accurate target analysis and identification. Targets are detected and analyzed using multiple frequencies simultaneously, as well as utilizing multiple dimensions of conductivity and ferrous (iron) content.
The world’s first fully transformable metal detector series!
As your skills increase, you can purchase software upgrades to convert your Vortex detector to the next most powerful model, which includes additional operating frequencies, more advanced features, more power, and a three-tiered Target ID graphical display.
Advanced Features
The Garrett Vortex VX9 is powerful, versatile, wireless-ready, and able to tackle all terrains. It has a wide array of features and technical specifications that help the user find less trash and more treasure.
- 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).
- Hi-Resolution Ground Balance: Features 175 points of ground balance resolution for terrains ranging from ferrous ground to saltwater beaches.
- 5-Tone Audible Target ID: Provides five distinct audio tones for greater target identification.
- 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 provides approximately 15 hours of use, enough to get you through a full day of searching on one charge.
- Iron Audio: Allows user to hear discriminated iron and avoid digging undesired flat iron targets such as bottle caps.
- Iron Boundary: Allows user to discriminate out undesired chunky iron objects while in Multi-Frequency operation.
- Bottlecap Reject control: Allows user to discriminate out bottlecaps and similar undesired, flat, tricky iron objects while in Multi-Frequency operation.
- Iron Volume control: Allows user to decrease the volume of undesired iron targets while maintaining the volume for non-ferrous targets. This enhances the focus on more desired targets.
Technical Specifications:
- Searchcoil: The Vortex VX-9 comes with an 8.5” x 11” DD Raider™ searchcoil, designed for maximum depth and sensitivity. A searchcoil cover is included to protect your coil.
- Detection Modes: Includes seven detection modes, plus Pinpoint: Zero Discrimination, Standard Mode (ideal for most coin, jewelry, and relic hunters), USA Coins Mode (includes discrimination pattern ideal for U.S. coins), Thin Coins (for hammered silver coins, small gold coins), Fast Mode (for competition hunts and trashy search areas), Beach Mode, and Custom Mode.
- MD-MF Target ID scale: On the VX9, three Target ID scales help identify a target: a lower common ferrous target scale, a central non-ferrous scale, and an upper ferrous scale that helps identify flat or tricky iron targets.
- Reaction Speed control: User can increase the detector’s reaction speed, allowing better ability to separate adjacent metallic targets. This can help you uncover treasure targets that might normally be hidden by adjacent trash.

Adventure Archaeology, U.S. field testers –
The Vortex has been a game changer for my wife and myself! The lightweight design keeps us in the field longer without fatigue and the waterproof feature keeps us ready for any hunting condition thrown our way. This machine will be our new go-to for years to come!
Mike D., European field tester –
The Garrett Vortex might be new, but it’s got the power of a legend. It’s already delivering impressive results on my World War II hunts. Using the Vortex, history doesn’t hide for long!
Tim S., Arizona –
I never thought I’d go anywhere without my AT MAX, but after finding silver and gold in one week using the Vortex, I’m convinced that this will be my new main machine.
Brandon S., Arkansas, Vortex field tester –
The Vortex is the perfect machine for searching in confined spaces due to its compactness. I have discovered some amazing things in both water and under old houses. The technology used to differentiate metals, detect deeper targets, and the battery life are all incredible!
Bill P, California –
As an avid park and beach hunter, having a multi-frequency detector that performs well in both environments is a top priority for me. The Vortex VX9 is that detector. It excels in both my high trash parks and at saltwater beaches. Add to that the marvelous Vortex interface that is both simple to use and adjust and I now have a go to machine for anywhere I choose to hunt.
Dawn C., UK field tester –
It’s so light and easy to use, yet it has enough settings to fine tune to get maximum hunt power for your environment. I’ve already found some amazing coins and relics with the VX9. Garrett, you have really knocked it out of the park with the Vortex range! Highly Recommended.
