Meet the Garrett Vortex – a truly innovative metal detector designed to evolve with your metal detecting journey. This versatile detector combines advanced Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency (MD-MF) Technology with impressive adaptability, making it a valuable tool for both seasoned professionals and beginners looking to grow their skills.

Revolutionary Technology at Your Fingertips

The Vortex's MD-MF Technology analyzes targets across multiple dimensions, providing accurate and reliable depth and target identification. Its three-tiered Target ID scale offers clear readings of both conductive and ferrous properties, helping you reduce time spent on trash and focus more on uncovering exciting finds.

Adaptable to Every Adventure

Whether you're searching for ancient hammered coins or competing in high-stakes hunts, the Vortex has you covered:

  • Thin Coins Mode: Specially calibrated to detect small hammered coins and elusive gold pieces
  • Fast Mode: Dominate competition hunts and navigate trash-heavy areas with lightning-fast target separation
  • Multi-Salt Setting: Conquer challenging saltwater environments with confidence
  • Custom Mode: Create your perfect hunting profile

Professional-Grade Features

The Vortex stands ready for any challenge with:

  • Fully submersible design to 16 feet (5 meters)
  • Built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology for instant response
  • User-controlled Reaction Speed for precise target separation
  • Hi-Resolution Ground Balance with 175 points of resolution
  • Advanced Iron Boundary and Bottlecap Reject controls
  • Choice of five powerful single frequencies or multi-frequency operation

A Detector That Grows With You

The Vortex series is designed with a unique "upgradeable" approach, making it the first fully transformable metal detector series. Here's how it works:

  1. Base Model Starting Point
    • You can start with a base model Vortex detector
    • This comes with a core set of features and capabilities
    • Perfect for getting started without overwhelming new users
  2. Software Upgrade Path
    • As you become more experienced, you can purchase software upgrades
    • These upgrades transform your detector into the next most powerful model
    • For example, you could upgrade from a VX7 to a VX9 through software
  3. What You Get With Upgrades:
    • Additional operating frequencies become available
    • More advanced features are unlocked
    • Increased power capabilities
    • Access to the three-tiered Target ID graphical display
    • Enhanced functionality without buying new hardware
  4. Financial Benefits:
    • No need to buy an entirely new detector as your skills improve
    • Protect your initial investment
    • Upgrade costs are typically lower than buying a new unit
    • Pay for advanced features only when you're ready to use them

Think of it like upgrading a smartphone with new software features instead of replacing the entire device – a practical and forward-thinking approach in metal detecting.
