    First Hunt With The New Firmware Update V-9.11

    I downloaded the new firmware and went to a place in the woods that has been very generous with old silver coins, jeweryy and relics. Now, that was 30-40 years ago. It's been pounded to death by myself and many others, that even hitting on an old rusty bottle cap was rare. So, I started on the...

    The VORTEX VX-9 Has Again Pulled Out A Fantastic Amount Of Coins For August!

    Here's the clad I got. Using the audio combined with the pixals shown on the horizontal bar graph makes picking up clad coins a simple task. I was hunting with zero discrimination with a single frequency of 25K. I got 4 rings in August, my best month. Those one and two dollar coins sure add...

    New Feature With The New VORTEX Firmware Updates V-9.11 "Adjustable Break Point 2 Tone Mode."

    Aside from many new improvements with this update, it has added a adjustable break point 2 tone mode. This is for those who like to cherry pick a target amongst trash. Thanks Garrett for even making a great metal detector even better.

    "BINGO" Got Ring #20 This Week!

    It's been another good week using the Vortex. I'm still using the zero-disc/25-Khz set up as it will read my cheap nickel plate over steel coins, no matter how much rust they have accumulated. Ring number 20 looked like a cheap chain held together with some wire or elastic string. Not so as I...

    My Vortex Got Ring #19 Today!

    I was going to go prospecting today, but the weather forecast was for rain this afternoon, so I opted to go metal detecting. I hit a sports-field and pulled out a nice copper and brass belt ring, about a size 8. Some of the coins were found earlier this week. Here's the gold I got the other...

    The Vortex Has Been A Ring Magnet Recently. I got Ring # 18 Today And A Silver "Tinker Bell" Charm

    Got out for a couple of hours today until the sun and heat pooped me out. I found ring #18 and .925 silver Tinker Bell charm. Tinker Bell is a fictional character from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan.

    Got Another ring Today (ring #17) As My Prospecting River Is Still On The High Side.

    This post is from the last couple of hunts. Those one and two dollar coins are HOT using the Vortex brand. Going to buy a gold coin or gold nugget at the end of this year with my $$$. Kind of a nice sterling silver lady's ring. And what looked like a real quartz crystal turned out to be a...

    Check This Out... Jan. to July 2025 Totals - So Far Pretty Well All Found With The Vortex - VX9

    Here are all my coins so far.....some in pretty bad shape due to rust. They will need a good cleaning in my rock tumbers at the end of the season. I did a quick break-down of my one and two dollar coins only. $179.00 I have have got to be pushing $300.00+ dollars so far this year. Twice in the...

    Got Ring #16 At A School Plus A Bunch Of Coins

    Hit some schools earlier recently. I got the ring where the studends eat their lunch. The Viper coil has pretty good separation characteristics to sort amongst the junk. Sometimes adding a different coil to a detector is like using a brabd new detector. Here's ring #16. All the stones are still...

    Pulled Out Ring #15 Today, Coins, Medallion, Token And Beautiful Brooch.

    Not a bad day at all with the Vortex VX9. I hit 2 schools. Most of my coins came from school #1 The ring I found today is an exact duplicate of a previous ring......what are the chances? Here's the brooch I dug. When it first came out of the ground, it was a rats-nest of grass and roots. I...

    VORTEX - A Coin Hunter's Dream. June Was My Best Month This Year!

    My best month so far! Why?......Schools done so they are all open for metal detecting plus Canada Day fireworks field where I got lots of one and two dollar coins. And the Vortex is a coin hunter's dream in my opinion. I just love all the information that is shown on the screen. And a great...

    Out To A After fireworks Location This Morning From Last Night. The VX9 Was A True Workhorse

    I got so many one and two dollar coins last night. For 2 hours of detecting, I managed $24.30. The US quarters are so easy to ID. In the high 80's is either a US quarter or a ring. Also scooped up a couple of bracelets and a camera, which I am in the process of trying to locate the owner based...

    Got Ring #14 A Couple Of Days Ago

    Got a couple of hunts in earlier this week. We are getting the hot temperatures up here too. I took the AT MAX out for a water hunt. I found several coins and a thimble. The ring was dug up in a school yard.

    Just Smok'n It With The Vortex 6" x 11" Coil - Silver Dime, Ring #13 Plus So Much Coinage.

    Here's my last 3 hunts. Those one and two dollar coins are so easy to ID with that smaller coil. This should be a good month over-all. A couple of pennies and an earring today. The rest were found in parks. And a bit of flour gold a few days back.

    Pssst...Wanna See What I Bought With Some Of My metal Detecting Coins?

    PSSSST.....Wanna see what I purchased with some of my metal detecting coins and trash pop cans from my NSR prospecting trips? I got a steal of a deal (less then original price from the Canada Mint) on a meteorite coin. I currently have several specimens of meteorites and a couple of meteorite...

    Sometimes Your Finds Can Be Downright "Creepy."

    Headed out yesterday with my buddy for a couple of hours hunting a nearby ravine. I found 19 coins with a total value of $2.65 I found a couple of tokens and an older TIMEX wind-up watch. It's dead! Kind of a creepy find in the tall grass. It's missing it's torso? If only it could...

    Here's Two More Hunts Worth.....Love That 6" x 11" Coil. It's Staying Put On The Shaft.

    This is pretty well one soccer field. I started at one end, and gridded the field. Most coins are closer to the goal area. Some of these coins have been in the ground for some time. Some are so very ugly with rust. I am going to soak them in vinegar at the end of the season and dissolve most of...

    I Received My 6" x 11" DD Viper Vortex Coil And Took It Out For A Couple Of Hunts To Test It Out

    I really like it. Aside from getting closer to playground equipment and tight spaces, the audio is very crisp/sharp and reminds me a lot of the old analog metal detectors. As is usually the case, smaller coils can give better ID as they don't have to deal with as much mass of material...
