    The Vortex VX9 Is Really Turning Into A Coin Vacuum

    If the bottle caps are metal, yes.

    Update on Vortex

    That's a great description on how you are learning the VX9. I am mostly a coin hunter, and proud of it too! I am also finding the VORTEX easy to identify various targets.

    Update on Vortex

    I too am 70. This hobby will keep my joints working, my mind sharp, my heart in decent condition and a good night sleep. I was a Registered Nurse in a orthopedics word and mostly dealt with hip and knee replacements and retired at 69 after 33 years. I saw some pretty de-conditioned bodies come...

    The Vortex VX9 Is Really Turning Into A Coin Vacuum

    The last couple of days I put in about 5 hours in parks. I just love those bars on the screen. I often get the same information on the bars at the same time, just like swinging the coil at different angles. Questionable iron can easily be identified just running the outside of the coil over the...

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

    No I haven't. I hope someone else who has might chime in on that one.

    Ace 300 coil question

    I too just retired less then a year ago. The goal was to keep healthy and active both metal detecting and prospecting for gold. Congratulations on your retirement. Enjoy! :love:

    How Ironic.....I Went Prospecting Yesterday. Lost My Glasses, A Detectorist (myself) Found Them This Morning

    Yesterday was St. Patrick's day. Well, the sun came out, so I headed down to the river. While walking in the woods towards the river, I ran into a leprechaun. He pointed me in the right direction to where the pot of gold was buried. After two different ropes to safely get myself down to the...

    Ace 300 coil question

    If it has a coil cover, remove it and clean out the debris. There could be water in the coil. Drying it out in a warm, but not hot environment might dry it up. The coil wire where it enters the coil could be frayed and shorting out. Sounds like you need a coil replacement, or consider a new...

    Out Coin Shooting In The The Snow Today With The VX9

    The snow was starting to melt with grass showing, then we got snow dumped on us during the last couple of days. Temps went down a bit too. However, metal detecting is a hobby, and great exercise. I was cleaning out my closet and found this old Garrett detector bag. I think I bought it...

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

    Definitely. In multifrequency, you should seethe curser bouncing around a low number (iron) and High number (80+) with the high number designating a high conductor target. Under those situations, you have to dig it to see what the higher conductor is.

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

    Yes I am. The learning curve is not only fairly easy, but not frustrating like some other units I have used. To me it's a "BINGO!"

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

    I found it's quite easy to ID Bi-metallic coins with the Garrett Vortex. The machine is running in zero discrimination, multi frequency. Although the numbers bounce back and forth, the same numbers do repeat themselves and show up as two cursers on the graph temporarily.

    Had To Carve My Coins Out Of The Frozen Soil.........It All Adds Up!

    Out for a couple hours with Ol’ Blue! I am saving up for my annual gold coin or nugget purchase. I have been doing this for years and have built up a nice stash of gold to leave to my kids.
