Garrett Vortex VX5

The Garrett Vortex VX5 combines straightforward operation with single and multi-frequency performance, making it a practical choice for new and returning detectorists searching for coins, jewellery and relics.

Choose between 13 kHz and simultaneous Multi-Frequency operation, with four search modes to suit your approach. Its 0–99 digital Target ID and three-tone audio provide useful information about each signal, while adjustable discrimination helps you manage unwanted targets.

Fast, fixed recovery speed responds quickly to closely spaced targets in parks, yards and other busy sites. Iron Volume lets you control unwanted iron audio, while automatic ground balance helps you adapt to the ground.

Fully waterproof to 5 metres, with a collapsible stem and built-in Z-Lynk wireless capability, the VX5 is ready for everyday land detecting and freshwater hunting.
