They were great detectors me and my son used to go all the time bought them from a friend of mine found lots of little small treasures and stuff just really got to getting into it really good somebody decided to break into my truck and get everything can't win for losing he'll make a good product
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the detector 2 months ago and I am very satisfied. Very light, and I can find many things that I couldn't with the previous one. I am especially happy that I don't have to charge the batteries separately, that's great! This has made the hobby even more enjoyable and I am satisfied.
Bought the VX9 a month ago and it only took a few times out to get comfortable with it. The target separation is fantastic...been hitting all my high density sites and crushing it. Went to an older church I've been to numerous times and found a lot of white and copper coins...that wasn't all. Dug a strong 70 high tone about 5 inches down and found an old copper compact dated to the mid 20s...it still had solidified redish power in it and the hinged lid has a mirror in it...very cool. Just a little feedback that I know you guys appreciate. The pinpoint feature is very temperamental...all the time. The arm cuff is kind of distorted and pinches your arm...maybe a heat gun can fix that. I can live with it as everything else is great. This machine is a heavy density site assassin...something the Nox 800 tends to stumble around in. Thanks a bunch. -Ron
I have been using my VX9 on an area that I hunted with my AT Max with surprising rusults, it is magic how it finds small necklace type of chains, it is really good on small thin targets as I also get a lot of thin wire in my trash. I am very happy with my finds!
I received my new Vortex VX9 in the early part of Winter. There was 5-6” of snow on the ground, but I had to give it a try anyway! I expected just to find large targets, but got pleasantly surprised with a Barber quarter and an Indian Head penny! I also used it to help 2 people find their cellphones that had gotten plowed deep into snowbanks during The Ring Finders searches. Can’t wait to use it on open ground!
I bought the VX9 when it first was available. Prior to the purchase I was a devout AT Max user. I haven't used it since this purchase. The updates are easy to do, and have helped with it's easy turn on, gound balance, & GO!
I am new to the detecting family but with a little practice and a few you tube videos' i have found multiple coins. Very easy to learn and use. Love the light weight and awesome battery life.
