Overview
The Vortex VX9 is Garrett's most capable hobby detector. You can run a single frequency (5, 9, 13, 18 or 25 kHz) or one of two simultaneous multi-frequency modes, including Multi-Salt for wet sand and surf.
The 3-tier MD-MF target ID gives more information before you dig, and enhanced recovery speed helps separate targets that sit close together in parks and competition hunts. It is waterproof to 16 ft and pairs with Garrett Z-Lynk wireless headphones.
