    It's fixable and the patch should be available ASAP!

    Garrett Vortex VX9 may have major flaw(s) with latest version software.

    I sent it to Garrett. I imagine they will have a fix for it soon. That would be crazy if we all had to send in our detectors back for a fix. It's nice that it can now be done on line.

    Great! I did too. I won't allow these issues to turn this forum into a frenzy like on some other forums. This forum is for supporting each other. Although issues may be reported regarding technical issues, they will be sent to Garrett where they belong. and dealt with.

    JUST MY THOUGHTS 😉

    How many metal detectors are you currently using? And yes, the GTI 2500 is still being serviced. It's the only unit that can attach to the 2 box unit where depth is measured in feet, not inches in fist sized targets. And it's the only unit that can size a target for you in the top 5 inches. I...

    I Dug My First Silver Coin With The Vortex Today

    I think it is too. Overall, it seems better then the AT Pro at depth and ID. The AT Pro has been my best metal detector for many years. It really excelled with finding silver coins and identifying my Canadian coins as such. It's going to be interesting to see where the Vortex Series will go...

    I Dug My First Silver Coin With The Vortex Today

    It was 7- 8 inches deep, and gave a nice clear high tone in all directions. I ran the unit zero discrimination, multifrequency for maximum depth. This unit is deep!

    The Vortex Had A Real Infinity To Nickels Today Plus I Dug A Special Olympic Pin

    Without using a pin-pointer and screwdriver, couldn't do it.

    The Vortex Had A Real Infinity To Nickels Today Plus I Dug A Special Olympic Pin

    The Vortex found 15 nickels today. Now if only the search-coil could have passed over a nice gold ring. I would have surely dug it. It just wasn't in the cards today. Here are some other finds from a school yard. That 2010 Olympic pin is rather unique as Garrett had the contract for security...

    Went Prospecting Today, Brought Along My Vortex And Found Ring #10.

    Here are todays finds, other then the flour gold. Finding bones & petrified wood are usually eye-balled as I am feeding my gold producing highbanker. After about 3 hours of digging, I packed up my equipment and detected the gravel for a short while. Finding a ring while digging for gold just...

    VORTEX Got Ring #9 Today

    I detected a small park a block from home. It's not well used......no play equipment or soccer fields. It only has a couple of picnic tables and park benches. You just never know what or where you can find good targets. It's probably gold plated. As with most rings, they create a lot of eddies...

    All 3 Models....VX5 VX7 VX9 Are Now In Stock

    Hey.....I struggle with computers and cell phones. I was still using a slide rule in grade 10. I got my first battery operated 4 function calculator in grade 11. It cost $49.00. And we were not allowed to use it for exams.

    How To Easily Get 2-3 Times More The Number Of Coins You Dig In A day.

    I made this video several years ago, gut it still stands just as good today. The only difference is that I was using a concentric coil, where I used to pinpoint off the inner coil. The VX series and most detectors manufactured today use the center of the coil to pinpoint. Someone on this forum...
