MD-MF TECHNOLOGY

Garrett’s Multi-Dimensional Multi-Frequency (MD-MF) Technology provides deeper and more accurate target analysis and identification. This advanced technology detects and analyzes targets using simultaneous multiple frequencies, as well as multiple dimensions of conductivity and ferrous (iron) content.

The MD-MF Technology is integrated into all three Vortex models, with the most advanced analysis on the VX9’s multi-axis Target ID display. Ideal for metal detecting in various environments, this technology offers precise identification and improved detection depth.

VX5

The entry Vortex model includes an array of features that provide fast, fixed recovery speed on adjacent targets. Fully waterproof to 16 feet (5m), it’s perfect for both beginner and more advanced detectorists.

Single and Multi-Frequency options, Single-tier MD-MF Target ID scale, and three audio tones allow users to differentiate between metal objects in dry sand and underwater.

Vortex VX7 with Two-tiered MD-MF Target ID display

VX7

MORE POWER THAN VX5

An advanced waterproof metal detector with more frequency and mode options than VX5, including the powerful Multi-Frequency Salt mode for wet sand and saltwater beach detection.

Two-tiered MD-MF Target ID display has separate ferrous and non-ferrous target scales for more precise identification. Additional audio tones and adjustable Recovery Speed make this high-performance detector effective in diverse environments.

Vortex VX9 with full three-tiered MD-MF Target ID display

VX9

MORE POWER THAN VX7

The Professional’s model includes full three-tiered MD-MF Target ID display with two ferrous scales to identify unwanted iron trash. Includes Multi-Salt mode, additional frequency choices, and additional Recovery Speed controls for optimal performance.

Features FAST Mode for competition hunts and THIN COINS Mode for fine, lower conductive coins (hammered silver and thin gold coins).
