This is my first UK outing with the VX9 Vortex. The machine is nothing like anything Garrett have brought out before.
There are improvements to it everywhere, the most obvious feature is its reactivity speed, it is very light and balanced and most importantly was locking onto signals and coins so clearly. The machine is completely stable, even running it in MDMF zero mode, with sensitivity up full, its quiet.. its early days but I cant ever seeing myself returning to the Apex or the AT Max.

I’m really rooting for Garrett on this new machine. It’s the last of the great American Detectorist companies. Fisher fell out of favor years ago with technology, the flop on the aqua pulse or whatever it was. They should have worked hard on SMF and made newer land and especially waterproof detectors. Then when they screwed all of their lifetime dealers that made the company, turned me off to them. White’s never did excel at multi frequency, now they’re gone, absorbed into Garrett, but they need a hit with this machine. I started with Garrett in 1973, so fond of the company.

I have been looking forward to this video and am so pleased you like the Vortex. I also love the Sports Car Blue, but I reckon if your only worry is the colour, you aren't paying attention to the machine itself. It looks simple to use and I bet you can run it, just by turning it on. Did you hear that one of the guys from Regton's found a gold coin in Italy on his first outing? They were on The Big Detecting Show. Your Farm Permission is stunning, I would also get in and around the stone house especially inside if it has a dirt floor.
