    VORTEX 7 VS. VORTEX 9

    Maybe I should just tell who it is here, my VX9 is already paid for so I am not worried, the rest of you can fight over what the dealer has left as long as I get my VX9 i don't personally care if any of the rest of you get one LOL No seriously I hope everyone that wants a Vortex can get one and...

    Anyone tried this with their detectors

    I believe you to be correct the Legend Mid shaft was aluminum come to think about it when the Legend first came out, but the Lower shaft has always been Carbon Fiber, not sure if it messes with depth or not but that Lower Carbon Fiber shaft can cause a lot of falsing on targets I believe is the...

    Vortex Bang for Buck

    Those vertical lines going up and down are depth indicators the higher the vertical line goes the deeper the target is, and yep I love the screen on my Golden Mask 7, the GM7 is the same excluding the 15KHz the GM7 runs 4,14,24 and 44 KHz in single frequency operation, the GM7 is a very capable...

    Vortex Bang for Buck

    Here is what I am hoping the ground I detect is highly mineralized with a heavy magnetite content and a heavy salt content, I have 7 detectors than run great on my ground and several detectors that will not run good at all on my ground, the 7 detectors I have that run great on my ground are all...

    Anyone tried this with their detectors

    Legend never came with a lower plastic shaft the mid shaft was plastic, I can tell you in Gold mode the legend will see very small nuggets at pretty good depth it will also pick up my hand at a decent distance when waved under the coil flat well since the guy in the video was using a nox 800 it...

    Has Nokta abandoned concentric coils ?

    Yep but that price is a hard pill to swallow I received a quote for the MP v3 with the two coils I want for it the price is over $2500 U.S, that is the other thing that keeps making me put the brakes on, every time I think about filling out the form and placing my order for one of the Two Nexus...

    Vortex Bang for Buck

    I agree with you that the Bashing of this Vortex is baseless, How can someone bash something that they have never even held in their hands yet, at this point it is just those that are doing the bashing's opinions and assumptions, and we all know what assuming something can do for the ones doing...

    Has Nokta abandoned concentric coils ?

    Yeah it is bull crap what Mine Lab is doing, Mine Lab is a huge bully that is why i will no longer purchase a Mine Lab product and I do not care how good they are or how cheap any of their detectors are, thats why I have decided to go with the Vortex VX9, I would rather back an American produced...

    VORTEX 7 VS. VORTEX 9

    @KSDfisher77 one of the dealer sponsors here on Finds is who I have placed my order with for a VX9 if you want to know whom that is I can PM you the info of who I went through, I do know that dealer has ordered at least 4 VX9s and I am first on his list to receive my VX9 as I have already paid...

    VORTEX 7 VS. VORTEX 9

    The VX9 is a no brainer for me because I do not want to have to install a upgrade rite out of the gate, There is only $150 difference in price between the VX5 and the VX9 and only a $65 price difference between the VX7 and VX9, it just was not worth going through the hassle of having to upgrade...

    VORTEX 7 VS. VORTEX 9

    I have a feeling you may be correct @KSDfisher77, I honestly have a feeling Garrett may come out with 2-4 more upgrades with in 3-6 months after the Vortex hits the market for sale just because there are to many people out there making a big deal out of the Lack of settings that the Vortex is...

    Test beds

    I put my test bed in using PVC pipes, I used an Auger bit on a cordless drill placing PVC pipes into each hole as long as I could slide a coin don through the pipe down as deep as I wanted them set then I called it good and filled them with dirt once I placed the coins down into the bottom, I...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    I always wanted to try one of those three frequency coils produced by NEL that was for the Xterra 705 but just never did because Mine Lab said they did not approve of them, the Xterra 705 is my all time favorite detector, even still today it is my only complaint with the Xterra 705 was and still...

    First time out with the Apex

    Try swinging over the two holes and while swing over them raise your coil as you are sweeping over the two holes and see if you keep getting a tone as you keep raising your coil if you are still getting a tone and you are swinging 2 feet or even a foot and a half above the ground then it is most...

    Was there any mention to when shipments of the vortex units will begin arriving into dealers hands ??

    All I can tell you is what @Richard@BackwoodsDetectors told me is he is hoping to have his order in the next few weeks, I have already placed my Order for a VX9 through Richard and paid him for my VX9 Richard also told me he placed an order for four VX9s don't know if he placed an order for any...

    Picked up another Beep and Dig

    I will say my favorite coils on these beep and digs are the concentric coils, unfortunately the Golden Mask detectors they only produce DD coils for them, I keep asking Golden Mask to produce a concentric coil for the 4WD and the GM7 but Golden Mask keeps telling me they have seen no advantages...
