VX9
MORE POWER THAN VX7
This professional Metal Detector model is designed for serious treasure hunting, featuring a full three-tiered accurate target ID display, including two ferrous scales to help filter out unwanted iron trash. It offers different types of detection modes, including FAST Mode for competition hunts and high-trash areas. The THIN COINS Mode enhances detection of fine, low-conductivity targets like hammered silver and gold coins. Additional adjustable sensitivity settings, superior audio control, and multiple frequency choices make this high-quality metal detector ideal for professionals seeking precise detection depth and accuracy.
Full Three-Tiered MD-MF Target ID Scale
When using multi-IQ technology, the VX9’s accurate target ID system features a non-ferrous scale along with two ferrous scales to distinguish valuable finds from unwanted iron trash. This professional metal detector enhances accurate detection, ensuring complex targets register across multiple scales simultaneously. With adjustable sensitivity, detection modes, and superior audio control, the VX9 provides precise detection depth for treasure hunting in various environments.

Fast Mode
Engineered for treasure hunting in high-trash environments, this detection mode helps uncover valuable targets hidden among debris. Ideal for competition hunts, it features a fast recovery speed to quickly distinguish between signals and a reduced iron volume setting to minimize interference from unwanted metal.
3 Levels of Recovery Speed Control
Select from three recovery speeds to optimize your metal detecting experience. A higher recovery/reactivity speed allows for better target separation, making it easier to distinguish valuable finds from nearby debris. This feature is especially useful for competition hunts and detecting in areas with heavy metallic trash, where good targets might otherwise be masked. Combined with an advanced search coil, adjustable sensitivity level, and precision detection modes, it ensures superior accuracy and performance in challenging environments.
Wireless Ready!
With built-in Z-Lynk wireless technology, you can enjoy a completely cord-free metal detecting experience. It allows for easy connection to wireless headphones, offering low latency and superior sound quality while you search.
