Description
Garrett Vortex VX5 Metal Detector
The Garrett Vortex VX5 is the entry level model of the Garrett Vortex multi-frequency series metal detectors, it boasts a range of features designed for both novice and experienced detectorists. The machine is fully submersible up to 5m, making it ideal for underwater explorations. It offers both single and multi-frequency options to adapt to different environments and target types.
The VX5 has a 0-99 single-tier MD-MF Target ID scale, along with three distinct audio tones, aids in the quick identification of various metal objects. Its collapsible design ensures it is both portable and lightweight, extending up to 56.75 inches for comfortable use by any enthusiast.
MD-MF Technology
Garrett's Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency (MD-MF) Technology provides deeper and more accurate target analysis and identification. This advanced technology detects and analyzes targets using simultaneous multiple frequencies, as well as multiple dimensions of conductivity and ferrous (iron) content.
The Garrett Vortex VX5 benefits from a fast, fixed Recovery Speed on adjacent targets, which is crucial for distinguishing between valuable finds and irrelevant metal objects in close proximity. With the ability to upgrade the software, users can transform their VX5 into more advanced models like the VX7 or VX9, as their skills progress without the need of buying a new detector!
