Why Choose the Garrett Vortex VX7?

The Garrett Vortex VX7 gives detectorists more control and target information than the entry-level VX5. Its additional frequency options, dedicated saltwater operation, adjustable Recovery Speed, dual Target ID display, additional audio tones, and Iron Volume make it suitable for users who want greater flexibility across changing search conditions.

Whether you are searching a trash-filled park, an old home site, dry sand, wet salt beach, freshwater shoreline, or shallow surf, the VX7 provides tools that help you adapt the detector to the environment and make more informed target-recovery decisions.

Four Frequency Options

The Garrett Vortex VX7 offers four frequency options for different detecting conditions:

• 5 kHz Single Frequency
• 13 kHz Single Frequency
• Simultaneous Multi-Frequency
• Multi-Frequency Salt

Choose a single frequency when you want a specific operating option, use standard simultaneous Multi-Frequency for versatile general-purpose detecting, or select Multi-Frequency Salt when hunting challenging saltwater environments.

Multi-Frequency Salt for Wet Sand and Surf

One of the most important advantages of the Garrett Vortex VX7 is its dedicated Multi-Frequency Salt operation. Designed for saltwater beach conditions, this mode provides smoother operation and reliable Target ID performance when searching wet salt sand and surf.

Combined with the VX7's waterproof construction, Multi-Frequency Salt makes this detector particularly useful for beach hunters who want to move between dry sand, wet sand, shoreline areas, and shallow saltwater.

Dedicated Beach Mode

The VX7 includes a dedicated Beach Mode for detecting coastal environments. Together with Multi-Frequency Salt operation, this gives beach detectorists a purpose-built setup for handling the difficult conditions commonly encountered around saltwater.

Five Versatile Search Modes

Choose from five search modes depending on your hunting environment and target preferences:

• Zero Discrimination: Hear the full range of detected targets.
• Beach Mode: Optimized for beach and saltwater-related detecting conditions.
• Standard Mode: Ideal for relics, jewelry, and most international coins.
• US Coins Mode: Designed for convenient coin hunting in the United States.
• Custom Mode: Configure the detector according to your preferred search settings.

A dedicated Pinpoint function is also available to help narrow down the location of a detected target before recovery.

Adjustable Recovery Speed

The Garrett Vortex VX7 offers two Recovery Speed settings: Standard and Fast. This allows you to adjust how quickly the detector responds to adjacent targets.

Fast Recovery can be especially helpful in target-dense locations where desirable objects may be close to metallic trash. It can also provide an advantage during competition hunts where quick target separation and response are important.

Dual Target ID Scale

When operating in Multi-Frequency, the VX7 uses a two-tier MD-MF Target ID display with separate ferrous and non-ferrous scales.

Complex targets can produce information on both scales at the same time, giving you additional insight into the target beneath the searchcoil. More target information can help you make better-informed decisions before digging.

5-Tone Audible Target ID

The VX7 provides 5-tone audible Target ID, giving you more audio information about detected targets. Different target responses can be identified by tone, allowing experienced hunters to use both visual Target ID and audio characteristics when evaluating a potential find.

Iron Volume With Eight Adjustment Levels

Iron Volume allows you to reduce the volume of ferrous targets while maintaining normal volume for non-ferrous targets.

This is useful for detectorists who prefer to hear iron rather than completely discriminate it out but do not want unwanted ferrous targets dominating the audio. The VX7 provides eight Iron Volume adjustment levels for greater control.

Garrett Iron Audio

Garrett Iron Audio helps provide additional information about difficult iron objects, including items such as bottle caps and steel washers. This can help you better identify unwanted targets and make more informed recovery decisions.

High-Resolution Ground Balance

The Garrett Vortex VX7 provides 175 points of Ground Balance resolution, ranging from ferrous ground to saltwater conditions.

This high-resolution adjustment helps the detector adapt to different levels of ground mineralization and provides additional flexibility as you move between different hunting environments.

Eight Sensitivity and Depth Adjustments

With eight Sensitivity/Depth settings, the VX7 allows you to adjust detector response based on site conditions. Increase sensitivity when conditions allow or reduce it when difficult ground or electrical interference affects detector stability.

Fully Waterproof to 16 Feet

The Garrett Vortex VX7 is fully waterproof and submersible to 16 feet (5 meters), allowing you to search far beyond dry-land environments.

Use the VX7 in streams, lakes, shorelines, beaches, wet sand, surf, and shallow-water locations. The included 8.5" x 11" DD Raider Submersible Searchcoil provides a versatile combination of coverage, maneuverability, and target separation.

Built-In Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless Technology

The Garrett Vortex VX7 is Z-Lynk wireless ready, with compatible wireless technology built directly into the detector.

This bundle includes Garrett CS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones, allowing you to take advantage of wireless detector audio without being tethered to the control box by a traditional headphone cable.

Wireless audio gives you greater freedom of movement while sweeping, digging, and recovering targets and can help make long detecting sessions more comfortable.

Frequency Shift for EMI Reduction

The VX7 includes Frequency Shift to help reduce noise caused by electromagnetic interference from nearby electronics, power sources, or other metal detectors.

This allows you to fine-tune detector operation when interference makes searching difficult.

Backlit LCD for Low-Light Detecting

A backlit LCD display keeps target information visible during early-morning searches, evening hunts, and other low-light detecting conditions.

Rechargeable Battery With Approximately 15 Hours of Runtime

The Garrett Vortex VX7 uses a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery that provides approximately 15 hours of search time per charge.

The rechargeable design eliminates the need to continually replace disposable batteries and provides enough runtime for extended detecting sessions.

Lightweight and Collapsible Design

Despite its advanced features, the Garrett Vortex VX7 weighs approximately 3 lbs. (1.38 kg) with the coil cover installed.

The detector collapses to approximately 24.75 inches (62.86 cm) for convenient transportation and storage and extends to approximately 56.75 inches (144.14 cm) when in use.
