    Out With The VX9 This Afternoon And Found A Surprising Amount Of Coins

    Shucks. Kind of like heart palpitations caused by finding something made from Nordic Gold. Sometimes the story behind a find is the most interesting part. Beautiful coin nonetheless.

    Out With The VX9 This Afternoon And Found A Surprising Amount Of Coins

    Is that an 1896 Australian dollar and not 1996? Sure looks like it is silver. If so what is the silver content and what VDI did the Vortex show? Must of near blew your headphones off🤯. As always….nice finds!!!

    Just a reminder to folks posting on the Garrett Forum about the VX9 issues.

    I think this is further evidence that a person should wait until any update is out for awhile before installing. I seem to remember many of the major manufacturers having similar issues with updates. So much so that I see a lot of people still running their detectors from several manufacturers...

    The future

    I keep thinking about a Carrington type event hitting the earth again. When I read about AI a part of me is okay with it happening. Until I realize it would cause short term and long term harm to the human population. It would render most modern convenances inoperable. I am not sure if we...

    Price of a bolt

    Similar situation but about 20 years ago. The adjustment motor for the rotor drive on my 1688 combine died. Went to Case IH dealer and they could order one for $250.00 and would get it next day with expedited shipping. I knew a tech real well and asked him about it. Real quite like he said...

    A Generous School-Yard Today + Ring #8

    Wow!!! You aren’t sitting around with your feet up in retirement. You are a vortex with the Vortex. I was just paging through one of my books by Charles Garrett. It appears if he was still with us he would include a chapter on the Vortex in his next book.

    Price of a bolt

    Three bolts. If I remember correctly IH dropped there head stamp and then fasteners were made at West Pullman plant in Chicago. They also manufactured a lot of other things like magnetos, alternators, etc. The other two are John Deere and the older IH stamped bolt. Top quality. Not like the...

    Price of a bolt

    I feel your pain. With agriculture as my profession and misers (grandfather + father) for mentors I have come to repurpose everything. There are A LOT of fasteners in the equipment I use. So anything and everything that becomes used up I strip it down when there is downtime. Every nut...

    Using The 3 Bars On The Vortex Screen On Bi-Metallic Coins To ID Them

    Thank you for this bit of valuable info. Would think that this would apply to iron in close proximity to US coinage?(i.e. an iron nail next to a wheat cent). In my application I primarily hunt early 1900’s farmsteads that have iron trash and very little aluminum, foil and other non ferrous...

    Here's A List (not complete) Of All Garrett Metal Detectors Produced Since 1964

    Thanks so much John for the walk down memory lane. Mr. Charles Garrett was a very busy, talented and influential individual in the fields of metal detecting, electronics, engineering, entrepreneurship, authorship and philanthropy. Irreplaceable. God rest his soul.

    New Vortex vx 9

    Thank you for the first run report. It is very encouraging to say the least. Some people were disparaging Garrett for the time of release and some initial problems. We have become so “I want it and I want it now” culture. IMHO Garrett knew there would have to be some issues addressed and...

    Silver Score with the Manticore, dime trifecta and more.

    I know you are giving a lot of credit to the manticore. Rightfully so as it seems to be a very good detector. But reading through your description of the day you are selling yourself short. It is apparent you are a very good detectorist who has become proficient with a good machine. I would...
