Not a Bad Detector

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems to be a highly accurate detector. It has a good range of advanced settings, but would still be easy for a beginner to use. I love the small coil.
I recently purchased the Vortex VX9 and had an opportunity to try it out on the Long Beach peninsula in WA. I found a keychain buried 2’ in the sand, a modern penny and quarter, all within an hour of experimenting with settings. Anxious to go again!
I just purchased this a week ago. I was detecting with an older Minelab 40 and I am extremely impressed with the quality and ease of use with this new VX9. Finding coins is so enjoyable with this detector.
I’ve had the Vortex VX-9 for about a month now - been out with it a few times on the beach and in the water. I love the rock solid Beach/Salt mode. It easily detected small ear rings 15” down in both sand and water. The only thing I would change is maybe add a inch to distance of the display from the handle. Even with fairly small hands the pin-point button is difficult to manipulate being so close to the grip.
Never have used a detector until I met my boyfriend & he has this exact one let me use it & I absolutely love it super awesome to use easy to carry & perfect for the beach

Truly outstanding depth/target identification performance in previously searched areas. In my mind, the XV9 is truly a game changer for price & operation! Once you understand the machine - it works for you! Recovered notable silver, bronze, lead, and copper artifacts/coins from historic sites in Pennsylvania, New York, & West Virginia.
