Why Choose the Garrett Vortex VX9?

The Vortex VX9 is designed for detectorists who want extensive control over frequency, target identification, and recovery settings. It offers more frequency choices, search modes, and adjustable controls than the lower Vortex models.

Its three-tier MD-MF Target ID display presents information across ferrous and non-ferrous scales. Adjustable Recovery Speed, Iron Boundary, and Bottlecap Reject settings let you tailor the detector’s response to different sites. With wireless headphones, a compatible wireless pinpointer, and a travel bag included, this package brings together tools for detecting, recovering targets, and transporting your gear.

Five Single Frequencies, Multi-Frequency, and Multi-Salt

The Garrett Vortex VX9 offers multiple frequency options to suit different targets and environments:

  • 5 kHz: A selectable single-frequency option.
  • 9 kHz: An additional single-frequency choice.
  • 13 kHz: A mid-range single-frequency option.
  • 18 kHz: Another selectable frequency for adjusting your setup.
  • 25 kHz: The highest of the VX9’s five selectable single frequencies.
  • Multi-Frequency: An all-around operating option using multiple frequencies.
  • Multi-Salt: A dedicated option for wet salt sand and saltwater surf conditions.

Choose a single frequency or operating mode based on the search area, targets, and conditions. Multi-Salt adds a dedicated setting for saltwater environments.

Three-Tier MD-MF Target ID Display

The VX9’s three-tier MD-MF Target ID display provides information across ferrous and non-ferrous scales. This can help you evaluate complex signals, including targets that may contain both ferrous and non-ferrous properties.

Target ID is a guide, not a guarantee of what is buried. Ground conditions, target depth, nearby objects, and the target’s shape and orientation can all affect readings.

Seven Search Modes

Select from seven search modes to match the detector to your location and detecting goals:

  • Zero: Detects a broad range of metal targets with minimal discrimination.
  • Standard: A general-purpose mode for everyday detecting.
  • USA Coins: A mode configured for coin hunting.
  • Thin Coins: Designed for fine, lower-conductive targets such as hammered silver and thin gold coins.
  • Beach: A dedicated option for beach detecting.
  • Custom: Allows you to configure settings to suit your preferences.
  • Fast: Designed for competition hunts and high-trash areas.

The detector also includes a Pinpoint function to help narrow down a target’s location before digging.

Adjustable Recovery Speed

The VX9 provides three Recovery Speed settings. Recovery Speed controls 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. Site conditions, sweep technique, and other detector settings also affect target separation.

Fast Mode for High-Trash Areas

Fast Mode is designed for competition hunts and locations with closely spaced targets or substantial trash. It gives you a dedicated option for searching areas where you want a faster detector response.

Thin Coins Mode

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.

Bottlecap Reject and Iron Boundary Adjustments

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. You can tailor the settings to your site and search preferences, keeping in mind that discrimination choices may affect which signals you hear.

Notch Discrimination and High-Resolution Iron Discrimination

The VX9 includes Notch Discrimination and High-Resolution Iron Discrimination to help manage target responses. These features provide additional control over which signals you accept or reject during a hunt.

Audio Tones and Volume Control

Choose from 2-tone, 3-tone, or 5-tone audio options on the VX9. Volume control lets you adjust the detector’s signal level. The included CS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones also have volume control so you can adjust listening levels while detecting.

Built-In Garrett Z-Lynk Wireless Technology

The Vortex VX9 has built-in Garrett Z-Lynk wireless technology. It pairs with compatible Garrett wireless accessories, including the CS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones and PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk Pinpointer. With compatible pairing, you can hear detector and pinpointer alerts through the headphones without a wired connection.

Waterproof Detector for Land and Water Detecting

The Garrett Vortex VX9 is fully waterproof and submersible to 16 feet (5 meters). Its 8.5" x 11" DD Raider searchcoil is submersible as well. Use the detector for land searches, shorelines, wet sand, or shallow-water detecting according to Garrett’s operating and care instructions.

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.

Garrett PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk Wireless Pinpointer

The PRO-Pointer AT Z-Lynk is a handheld pinpointer that helps narrow down a target’s position after the VX9 signals it. Its wireless connection can send pinpointer alerts to compatible Z-Lynk headphones, letting you hear both detector and pinpointer signals through the CS-3 headphones.

  • Wireless Z-Lynk connection: Syncs with compatible Garrett Z-Lynk wireless devices.
  • Waterproof: Submersible to 20 feet (6 meters).
  • 360-degree detection area: Detects around the probe as well as at the pinpointing tip.
  • Proportional audio and vibration: Signal intensity increases as the probe approaches a target.
  • Three sensitivity levels: Adjust sensitivity for small targets or changing conditions.
  • Fast Retune: Helps narrow the detection field or tune out mineralized ground and wet sand.
  • Stealth Mode: Provides vibration-only alerts.
  • LED flashlight: Helps illuminate the search area in low light.
  • Depth ruler: Inch and centimeter markings are molded into the side.
  • Additional features: Lost-probe alarm, automatic power-off, scraping blade, and lanyard attachment loop.

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.

Garrett CS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones

The CS-3 Z-Lynk Wireless Headphones pair with Garrett detectors and accessories equipped with Z-Lynk technology. They provide wireless audio so a headphone cable does not connect you to the detector as you move around your search area.

  • Volume control: Lets you adjust signal level to your listening preference.
  • Padded ear cushions: Help reduce external sound.

Garrett vortex vx9

"Very happy with the vx9 and detector warehouse the sales team are excellent shipping was faste"

— Michael W. (5/5)

Vortex 9

"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."

— Paul G. (5/5)

"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!!"
