    Vortex VX9

    I'm 70 and struggle with cell phones and computers. Garrett's have always been quite simple to operate and have rewarded me plenty. Below are most of the rings I have found, less the gold which were sold for their weight and stones.

    First Ring In May On Sunday

    I headed to a nearby school yard for a quick hunt. A couple of two dollar and one one dollar coins really brought up the totals. I got a strong signals in the 70's, probed the target with my screwdriver and out popped a ring! So, that's 11 rings so far with the Vortex so far this year.

    Small Coils

    That 5 x 8 coil is very popular. That's the only one he uses on his AT Pro. It's pretty amazing the depth he gets. We hunt the woods a lot together and that coil can get into places a lot of other coils can't.

    April Totals Using The VX9 - I'm Impressed!

    A lot of rivers, streams and creeks do have at least small amounts of gold in them. There's not a lot of money to be made, but it is fun to try and capture it in a gold pan......a very cheap investment. I did a quick search with Google for gold in Texas. This is what I got. "Yes, there are...

    It will be interesting to see what the price of gold will be later on this year.

    April Totals Using The VX9 - I'm Impressed!

    The Vortex has always proved to be a great coin vacuum since day one. Here's my totals for April. My plan is to purchase a gold coin or nugget at the end of the year with my $$$ totals. It's an annual tradition going back many, many years. I found my first silver coin in April.....several...

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

    It sure does look like silver. I looked it up.......aluminum and bronze.:( It is from a 1996 release. However, there is a good story to go along with that. "Recently, this particular $1 coin has been the subject of some rather ‘egregious’ eBay listings, with asking prices soaring as high as...

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

    I always liked the hockey puck coil. I always ran it full sensitivity, getting into some of the tightest vegetation growth areas, and often found targets.

    Well, it looks like you can not go to the previous version at the moment. I am waiting like everyone else or a down-loadable fix.

    Garrett is working on fixing the recent VORTEX VX9 issue discovered by someone .

    Garrett should be able to repair the V3i model, as they inherited all the parts and components with the purchase of White's.

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

    Got out to a small park with a tennis court and tot lot. The tot-lot produced one nickel, however the grassy hills surrounding the tot-lot produced the rest of the coins. Even with the current glitches, it is still useable. You just have to give it a 3-4 second rest occasionally when it retains...

    Sorry Squirrel, I don't work for Garrett. I am not privy to a lot of inside issues. I turned 70 earlier this year. I was a friend of Charles. We used to correspond by mail, as computers weren't main stream yet. Anyhow, I volunteer my services, to keep my mind sharp after recent retirement. Look...
