The new Garrett Vortex™ series—VX5, VX7, and VX9—offers a fresh take on waterproof, multi-frequency metal detecting. Built in the USA and backed by Garrett’s 3-year warranty, these detectors combine reliability, versatility, and modern features that make them a strong choice for hobbyists and experienced detectorists alike.
Why the Vortex™ Stands Out
At the heart of every model is Multi-Frequency technology, designed to improve target detection in a wide range of environments—from inland fields to saltwater beaches. All Vortex detectors are also waterproof up to 16 feet, giving you the flexibility to explore beyond dry land.
-
VX5 Metal Detector – A solid entry point with four search modes, single-tier Target ID, and upgrade paths to VX7 or VX9.
-
VX7 Metal Detector – Adds saltwater modes, more frequency options, faster recovery speed, and bottle cap rejection.
-
VX9 Metal Detector – Offers advanced performance with 3-tier Target ID, dedicated Fast/Thin Coin modes, and increased sensitivity and depth.
Each Vortex comes with Garrett Z-Lynk™ Wireless Technology built in for fast, cable-free operation.
