{"product_id":"garrett-vortex-vx5-multi-frequency-waterproof-metal-detector","title":"Garrett Vortex VX5 Multi-Frequency Waterproof Metal Detector","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Garrett Vortex VX5 is the entry model in Garrett's waterproof Vortex series, a multi-frequency detector for coin, relic and jewelry hunters who want a simple, capable machine that can also go in the water. It runs Garrett's MD-MF multi-frequency technology with a 13 kHz single frequency and a simultaneous Multi-Frequency mode, and the whole detector is submersible to 16 feet (5 meters).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VX5 keeps the controls straightforward. A single-tier MD-MF target ID scale runs 0 to 99 with three audio tones, and four search modes cover Zero Discrimination, Standard, USA Coins and Custom. Recovery speed is fixed and fast for clean separation of adjacent targets, and iron volume across eight levels lets you turn down ferrous trash. It balances across 175 points of ground resolution from ferrous soil to saltwater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VX5 reads on a backlit LCD and runs about 15 hours on its built-in lithium-ion battery over a high-speed USB-C cable. It weighs 3 lbs (1.38 kg) with the coil cover installed and collapses from 56.75 in (144.14 cm) down to 24.75 in (62.86 cm) for transport. Built-in Z-Lynk wireless pairs with Garrett MS-3 or CS-3 headphones with no cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause every Vortex shares the same hardware, the VX5 is software upgradeable, so you can convert it to VX7 or VX9 features as your skills grow. GeoWork Supply ships the VX5 with the 8.5 in by 11 in DD Raider waterproof coil and charging cable, ready to assemble, with the user manual linked below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGarrett Vortex VX5 metal detector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8.5 in x 11 in DD Raider waterproof searchcoil with cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-speed USB-C charging and data cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArmrest strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuick start guide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAccess to Garrett online training videos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QLAzrWUifFM\" style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSingle and Multi-Frequency\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRun a powerful single 13 kHz frequency, or switch to Vortex simultaneous Multi-Frequency for detection across all targets in most soils.
