Garrett Vortex 8.5 x 11 in DD Raider Search Coil
The Garrett Vortex 8.5 inch by 11 inch DD Raider is the stock search coil that ships on the Vortex VX5, VX7 and VX9. It is tuned as the all around coil for the platform, with a balance of detection depth, ground coverage and accurate target ID that handles coins, jewelry and relics across most sites.
The Raider uses a DD configuration, which lays down an even detection field that keeps target ID stable and separates good targets from iron. It runs smoothly in mineralized soil where a concentric coil of the same size can get noisy, so it stays a steady choice as ground conditions change.
The Raider carries the unique Vortex waterproof connector and is built to take wet ground and shallow water like the rest of the Vortex coil line. Because that connector is unique to the Vortex series, the coil does not fit other Garrett detectors. It is backed by Garrett's 3 year limited warranty.
