The Garrett Vortex VX9 offers three-stage recovery speed control (1, 2, 3) plus a dedicated FAST mode. Higher recovery speed allows for better target separation, making it easier to distinguish valuable finds from nearby debris in high-trash environments. At trash-heavy relic sites and old home foundations, FAST mode plus recovery speed 3 is the difference between a clean nonferrous tone and a smeared iron-grunt at sites where every square foot has a cut nail in it. This adjustable recovery speed is a key differentiator from the VX7, which offers two settings (Standard and Fast).
