Garrett Vortex 6 x 11 in DD Viper Search Coil
The Garrett Vortex 6 inch by 11 inch DD Viper is a narrow search coil built for maneuverability, target separation and depth. The slim profile reaches into tight spots between rocks and roots where a wider coil cannot go, and the long body keeps good depth for its size so you do not give up much coverage.
The Viper uses a DD configuration, which separates close targets and holds target ID steady. That makes it a strong pick for trashy parks, old home sites and iron heavy ground, where good signals need to ring through next to the junk. At just over one pound it swings easily through a long hunt.
The Viper carries the Vortex waterproof connector and the entire coil can be submerged, so you can hunt wet ground, streams and shallow water. It fits the Vortex VX5, VX7 and VX9 only, ships with a coil cover and is backed by Garrett's 3 year limited warranty.

Features
Narrow Profile for Tight Ground
At 6 inches wide the Viper slips between rocks, roots and trash where a wider coil cannot reach. The long DD shape still gives it good depth for its size, so you keep coverage while you work tight spots.

Strong Target Separation
The Double-D design separates close targets and holds target ID steady, which helps in trashy parks, old home sites and iron heavy ground. Good targets ring through next to the junk.

Light and Fully Submersible
The Viper weighs just over one pound, so it swings easily through a long hunt. The whole coil can be submerged and the Vortex waterproof connector keeps the link sealed at the rod.
