The Garrett Vortex VX9 metal detector bundle brings together Garrett’s top Vortex detector, three specialized Vortex searchcoils, a wireless pinpointer, wireless headphones, and a 50" travel bag. Switch coils to suit the site: use the compact Ripper around iron and obstacles, the Viper for target separation with added reach, or the large Reaper to cover open ground. The VX9’s stock Raider coil is also included with the detector.
The waterproof Vortex VX9 offers five selectable single frequencies, Multi-Frequency and Multi-Salt operation, seven search modes, and a three-tier MD-MF Target ID display. The PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk helps narrow down a target’s location during recovery, while the CS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones let you hear detector and compatible pinpointer alerts without a wired connection. The 50" travel bag gives you a way to carry and store your detecting equipment.
The Vortex VX9 is Garrett’s full-control model in the Vortex series. It offers more frequency choices, search modes, and adjustable controls than the VX5 and VX7, giving detectorists more ways to configure the machine for different sites and targets.
The three-tier MD-MF Target ID display presents information across ferrous and non-ferrous scales. Adjustable Recovery Speed, Bottlecap Reject, and Iron Boundary settings let you tailor the detector’s response to different search conditions. The VX9 is waterproof to 16 feet (5 meters), so it can be used for land searches, shorelines, and shallow-water detecting when operated according to Garrett’s instructions.
This bundle adds three coils for different search situations. The stock Raider is the all-purpose coil. The Ripper is compact for tight or trashy areas, the Viper combines a narrow profile with added reach, and the Reaper is designed to cover more terrain with each sweep. Each accessory coil is engineered for Garrett Vortex detectors and includes a protective cover.
Each searchcoil changes the detector’s coverage and maneuverability. Choose the coil that best suits the ground you are searching:
The detector also includes the standard 8.5" x 11" DD Raider searchcoil, giving you four coil options in total. Garrett specifies that Vortex searchcoils use a Vortex-specific waterproof connector and are designed for Vortex series detectors.
The compact 5" x 8" DD Vortex Ripper is designed for maneuverability where a larger coil can be difficult to swing precisely. Its concentrated detection area makes it useful among roots, rocks, stubble, playground equipment, and other obstacles, as well as in heavily iron-infested or trashy areas.
Garrett describes the Ripper as highly sensitive to small targets, including fine jewelry and gold nuggets. Its compact shape can help you work close to larger metal objects and separate targets in crowded ground. The coil is submersible, has a protective cover, and is engineered to work with the MD-MF technology used by Garrett Vortex detectors.
The 6" x 11" DD Vortex Viper has a narrow, elongated profile designed to balance maneuverability with search depth. It can slide into tighter areas around roots, rocks, and crop stubble while helping separate targets in trashy ground.
Garrett describes the Viper as a sensitive option for coins, relics, and fine jewelry. It weighs just over one pound, is fully submersible, and includes a protective coil cover. The Viper is designed for Garrett Vortex detectors.
The large-format 14" x 11" DD Vortex Reaper is designed to cover more terrain with each sweep and provide increased detection depth, particularly on medium and larger targets. Garrett states that it offers approximately 25% more ground coverage than an 8.5" x 11" searchcoil.
The Reaper is suited to large fields, beaches, and other open areas where broader coverage is useful. Its DD configuration can help identify and separate adjacent targets, and the coil is housed in a waterproof design for submerged searching. A protective cover is included.
The Garrett Vortex VX9 offers several frequency options to help tailor your search:
Use a selectable single frequency or choose a multi-frequency option based on your search area, targets, and conditions. Multi-Salt is a dedicated option for wet salt sand and saltwater surf conditions.
The VX9’s three-tier MD-MF Target ID display provides information across ferrous and non-ferrous scales. This added information can help you evaluate complex signals, including targets that may have both ferrous and non-ferrous properties.
Target ID is a guide, not a guarantee of what lies underground. Soil conditions, target depth, nearby metal, and the target’s shape and orientation can affect the detector’s readings.
Choose from seven search modes to suit your location and detecting goals:
The VX9 also includes a Pinpoint function to help narrow down a target’s position before recovery.
The VX9 provides three Recovery Speed settings. Recovery Speed affects how quickly the detector responds as the searchcoil moves between targets. A faster setting can be useful when targets are close together, such as in a trashy park or busy search area. Results also depend on ground conditions, sweep technique, and other detector settings.
Fast Mode is designed for competition hunts and locations with closely spaced targets or substantial trash. It provides a dedicated option for searching areas where you want a faster detector response.
Thin Coins Mode is designed for fine, lower-conductive targets, including hammered silver and thin gold coins. It gives detectorists another search option when looking for small or thin targets.
In Multi-Frequency operation, the VX9 offers six Bottlecap Reject settings and six Iron Boundary settings. These controls let you adjust how the detector responds to bottlecaps and iron signals according to the site and your preferences. Discrimination choices may affect which signals are heard, so select settings based on the targets you want to recover.
The VX9 includes Notch Discrimination and High-Resolution Iron Discrimination to give you additional control over target responses. These features can help manage unwanted signals in sites containing iron or other metal trash.
The VX9 offers 2-tone, 3-tone, and 5-tone audio options, along with volume control. The included CS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones let you hear detector signals without a wired connection and provide headphone volume control.
The VX9 has built-in Garrett Z-Lynk wireless technology. It is compatible with Garrett Z-Lynk accessories, including the CS-3 Wireless Headphones and PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk. With compatible pairing, you can hear detector and pinpointer alerts through the headphones.
The Garrett Vortex VX9 is fully waterproof and submersible to 16 feet (5 meters). Garrett describes the Vortex Ripper, Viper, Reaper, and stock Raider searchcoils as submersible and designed for Vortex detectors. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for use and care.
The PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk is waterproof to 20 feet (6 meters). The CS-3 headphones are water resistant against light rain, but they are not waterproof and must not be submerged.
The PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk is a handheld pinpointer that helps narrow down a target’s location after the VX9 signals it. Its Z-Lynk connection can send pinpointer alerts to compatible Garrett wireless headphones.
The pinpointer includes a woven belt holster and 9-volt battery. Garrett lists a 3-year limited parts and labor warranty for the PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk.
The CS-3 headphones pair with Garrett detectors and accessories equipped with Z-Lynk wireless technology. They provide wireless audio while you move through your search area.
Garrett lists a 2-year limited parts and labor warranty for the CS-3 headphones.
The included 50" travel bag provides a way to carry and store your detector and detecting gear. The exact material, compartments, and fit depend on the specific bag included with the bundle. Refer to the seller’s bag listing for those details.

"Very happy with the vx9 and detector warehouse the sales team are excellent shipping was faste"
"Ordered a Garrett vortex 9 really like how well it operates and how easy to set functions. Detector warehouse made ordering easy and the shipping was very fast cause we all want our new toy today. Detector warehouse is my new go to for supplies and detectors."
"Great detector so far, it's not where it needs to be, but the updates are making it even better. The vortex vx9 is a silver magnet and locks on to targets really well. As of this review, there are still some issues with the VDI numbers. However, after talking with Garret, they are planning to release plenty of updates to make the machine even better. There is plenty to look forward to with the vortex series!!"
"Same here can't review something you haven't received. Garrett has already released them to the public. You can now order the vortex through them and use Chigg for the promo code and get a bigger discount! Really thinking about canceling my order if I don't hear anything from Detector warehouse soon."
"Asking for a review but I have not received it yet, I preordered and looking forwards to getting it hopefully soon!"
"539. 99 through Garrett with promo code Chigg 60 dollars off or 20% 0ff ending Dec 6th. This place said there isn't any discounts. The first time I used Detector warehouse the guy that helped me made up a discount code and took 40 dollars off. When I told the salesman this he said we don't do that we are under new management. I said ok I will wait to place my order. It wasn't 3 minutes and I received 10 dollars off. Wow!"
"Have not yet received the metal detector, so cannot rate it."
"I don't have the machine yet. . . been pre ordered"
"Detector warehouse is great!!! Garrett is the one that is dragging their feet 🐾"
"I can’t review it. I haven’t gotten it yet."
