FULL THREE-TIERED MD-MF TARGET ID SCALE

MORE TARGET INFORMATION . . . SO YOU CAN MAKE BETTER DIG DECISIONS!

When using multi-IQ technology, the Vortex VX9’s accurate target ID system features a non-ferrous scale along with two ferrous scales to distinguish valuable finds from unwanted iron trash. This professional metal detector enhances accurate detection, ensuring complex targets register across multiple scales simultaneously. With adjustable sensitivity, detection modes, and superior audio control, the VX9 provides precise detection depth for treasure hunting in various environments.

THIN COINS MODE (VX9 only)

Designed for precision treasure hunting, this specialized detection mode is optimized for locating small, thin coins like hammered silver and tiny ancient gold coins. The gold detector ensures accurate detection with enhanced sensitivity settings, allowing users to
pinpoint low-conductivity targets with ease.

• Faster recovery speed.
  
• Enhanced Response on select Target ID range.
• Target Response reduced for common famous items and high-tone targets.

FAST MODE

Engineered for treasure hunting in high-trash environments, this detection mode helps uncover valuable targets hidden among debris. Ideal for competition hunts, it features a fast recovery speed to quickly distinguish between signals and a reduced iron volume setting to minimize interference from unwanted metal.

3 LEVELS OF RECOVERY SPEED CONTROL

Select from three recovery speeds to optimize your metal detecting experience. A higher recovery/reactivity speed allows for better target separation, making it easier to distinguish valuable finds from nearby debris. This feature is especially useful for competition hunts and detecting in areas with heavy metallic trash, where good targets might otherwise be masked. Combined with an advanced search coil, adjustable sensitivity level, and precision detection modes, it ensures superior accuracy and performance in challenging environments.

INCLUDES BEACH MODE AND MULTI-FREQUENCY SALT OPERATION!

Harness the power of MD-MF Technology and Multi-Salt operation for smooth performance and accurate target ID in challenging environments. This waterproof metal detector delivers exceptional detection depth along wet beaches and in the surf, ensuring precise identification of targets even in mineralized conditions. Equipped with a waterproof search coil and full waterproof capability, it is fully submersible up to 16 feet, making it ideal for underwater treasure hunting and metal detecting in any terrain.

WIRELESS READY!

With built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology, you can enjoy a completely cord-free metal detecting experience. It allows for easy connection to wireless headphones, offering low latency and superior sound quality while you search.

IRON VOLUME CONTROL WHAT YOU HEAR

The Iron Volume feature lets you decrease the volume of ferrous (iron) targets, while maintaining the normal volume for non-ferrous targets. This is particularly useful for experienced treasure hunters who prefer hearing all signals but want the option to minimize unwanted iron noise. With eight adjustable levels, you can fine-tune the settings for a more focused search, enhancing your metal detecting experience by reducing distractions without missing valuable finds.
