I had high hopes for the new Garrett Vortex VX9 metal detector, but unfortunately, it left me feeling disappointed. In this video, I break down the key issues I experienced with this device, from its outdated features to its lack of modern functionality that should be standard in today's metal detecting market. Despite being marketed as a cutting-edge tool, the VX9 feels like a step behind when compared to its competitors.
I'll cover the performance, design, and what crucial features it's missing that could make a big difference for detectorists. If you're considering buying the Garrett Vortex VX9, this honest review might save you time and money. Share your thoughts in the comments-did Garrett miss the mark, or is there something I overlooked? Let's discuss!
