Yes we understand you don't like the Garrett Vortex. How long will you continue to bash on Garrett for? You just like to talk trash about metal detectors without even testing them out first in the field.

I didn’t hear him bashing the Vortex. I just heard him state what the popular brands have as far as features and what Garrett says the Vortex has. You can do the comparison yourself. I want to know why the folks at Garrett have omitted some features that we all use like auto noise cancellation? That in itself is one of the first things I do when I start a hunt as well as ground balancing. Not any bashing there. Just questions.

I couldn’t sit idle on the sidelines and let some of these great deals on some very capable multi-frequency detectors just pass me by. So today, I just ordered my latest detector: The Minelab Xterra Elite Expedition Pack that includes the V12X Coil with Skidplate, the V8X Coil with Skidplate and the ML-85 Wireless headphones. Hands down, it was the easiest detector purchase decision I have ever made.

Talk of features had me thinking of a good video showing how using tones /tone breaks/and tone pitch is very helpful. Features i assume are not in vortex. They do have simplified programs for instance coins, but everything is notched out but coins. When coin hunting with legend I came up with a good program to hear everything, but coins will scream. This by using options that vortex doesn’t have as mentioned above as tone breaks etc… Like you said, pitch is great option for tones especially at beach where it can be hard to hear other tones even with headphones. My thoughts leading up to the introduction were that it would be a machine to compete with equinox series similar to what Nokta did with the legend.

I'm thinking of buying my first ever metal detector, and stuck between waiting for the Garret Vortex reviews to come in or just choosing between Minelab X-Terra Elite or one of the Nokta Double/Triple Scores. The Multi-IQ on the X-Terra Elite goes up to 40 KHz which I would like to have be able to hunt different types of gold coins and jewlery both on the beach and field (I don't think I will be park hunting too much) but I still can't figure out from their presentation what the highest frequency of the Garret Vortex series will be. And obviously the vortex apparently lacks some features as you and some others have talked about. What do you think?

Another comment. I bought a Legend because of all the hype you presented. Yes, it has lots of features but that has to be the worse detector I have ever used in my 30 years of detecting. It was uncomfortable to swing and ID was not stable at all. The Deus 1 and 2 have the best ID in the industry. I do hunt tons also but as a coin hunter the Deus can't be beat. I wish you would put up your old videos. I used then for reference all the time.

Very few people where I am care about all the settings like you and me. I hunt with the Deus 2 and it's the best as far and features and performance. But we are not the majority. The majority of metal detector users are casual and don't want all the settings. It would only confuse them. That is who the Garrett detectors are marketed for. They are not meant for hunters like you and me. You need to stop trying to compare it to the types of detectors you like. I would prefer you make more videos on tips and tricks for the Deus 2 or other detectors you like. This comparison is a waste of time. You're beating a dead horse. You've made your point. Move on and post some useful videos. I've always support you and sent donations when you needed that. But what you are presenting now is not helpful. Show us some more way to tweak the Deus 2. You deleted all your old videos so I have no past reference mow to use for research.

So how long have you been using the Garrett Vortex??? Should you really be shooting your mouth off bashing it every which way before you actually have used it? No, you shouldn't. You are doing a disservice to the detecting community to bash Garrett Vortex without any actual usage with it. You come across as completely biased against Garrett. Are you mad because Garrett did not send you a Vortex to preview? Kind of sad actually. Come on, man....

@@calabashphotography1234on the first video you were calling for all the engineers that work at Garrett to be fired. I would say that qualifies as bashing wouldn’t you? I was thinking the exact same thing as was expressed here, “How does he know it is so terrible when the machine isn’t even out yet?” Just basing his opinions on a loose list of specs that may or may not be complete. As a guy that recently got into the hobby, and had not found your channel to any extent previously, that video alone left a bad taste for me. It reduced your credibility in my new content consumer mind. This video is a little more toned down, and attempts to just concentrate on features, but your distaste for Garrett comes through even while trying to convince us that you have nothing against ANY machine, which is the whole reason I wanted to watch you, to get a real unbiased breakdown of each machine’s features. Incidentally, I started with a Deus II and love the complexity of that machine, and also have a Manticore, and love the simplicity of that machine. I will probably end up getting the best Nokta and now the top line Garrett in order to understand and master each machine and the nuances they bring to the hobby. Each have their spot in the technical and obviously in people’s hearts. When people get emotional about “their” brand, calling for their team to get fired turns some off. Just some food for thought.
