Garrett Vortex VX7

Announcement Vortex VX7™ | Upgrade option to VX9!

Every Vortex model is upgradeable, so you can upgrade your detector to a higher model through software updates. As your capabilities and requirements increase, you can upgrade your metal detector to the next higher model with a paid activation code. Each Vortex upgrade then includes additional operating frequencies, extended functions and more power. This has potential and will change the way metal detectors are bought and used. A path to greater sustainability and a new way forward in the industry.

The VX7 model has more power and offers additional frequency and mode options compared to the VX5. In addition, the powerful multi-frequency salt mode has been added for use in wet sand and salt water. The target ID display is two-stage (with separate scales for ferrous and non-ferrous objects). A total of 5 signal tones and adjustable response speed round off the detector.

What the expert says "Same capabilities as the VX5, but more features added. Super Garrett quality for robust, deep and probing with remarkable material detection."

Novelty upgrade capability

The revolutionary feature of the Garrett Vortex series is its upgradeability. For the first time, you can upgrade your metal detector to a higher model through software upgrades. This means you can turn your VX5 into a VX7 or even a VX9 without having to buy a completely new detector. This innovative feature ensures that your device always remains at the cutting edge of technology and that you can benefit from the latest functions.

VX7 waterproof to 5 meters

The Garrett Vortex VX7 is fully waterproof to 5 meters. Designed for dusty, humid or damp environments. We recommend underwater headphones for underwater / water use.

The VX7 offers five search modes! These are Zero, Standard, US Coin, Beach and Custom.

Target ID scales

The Target ID scales are one of the main features that make this series stand out. The VX5 has a simple 0-99 Target ID scale that allows users to quickly identify metal types. The VX7 improves on this system with a two-level Target ID scale.

MD-MF frequencies

Frequencies play a crucial role in the detection of metals in different soil types. The VX5 works with two multi-frequencies, making it versatile and effective in different environments. The VX7 expands the possibilities with seven frequencies, including multi-salt options, 9 kHz, 13 kHz, 18 kHz and 25 kHz.

Variable response speeds and wireless connectivity

Variable response speed is another highlight of the Vortex series. The VX7 has two response speed settings. The VX7 is wireless enabled, which allows for convenient and interference-free use. This is particularly useful for professional treasure hunters who spend long periods of time in the field.

Additional setting options

The VX7 also offers features such as sensitivity settings, a variable number of ID tones and iron volume for a comprehensive search experience.
