Garrett Vortex and Ghost Town Metal Detecting! NEW Garrett Storm Metal Detector in ACTION!

[@adventurearchaeology]

Please keep in mind this was *****Early Vortex prototype seen during testing. Target ID numbers seen on test unit and final audio subject to changes from Garrett.***** For more Info on the Vortex please check out Garrett's release live here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXekmKmKesmBhs0si=allnFIzrtMBJdFA6

[@chriss8206]

Definitely. Should have color options. I would prefer to have black.Sometimes i'm in places where I don't want people to see something bright

[@rogerclaiborne6815]

It would be nice if the control box and screen could fold down as well for easier storage when traveling. None of the detector manufactures have thought of this yet and it would be a winning feature for experienced metal detectorists to have a detector that fits easily in small back pack and still leave room for a little more gear. Or a carry on travel bag on an airplane.

[@stevenxindaris1477]

Any chance Garrett will add vibration to the handle for hard of hearing and diving?

[@jamesjr5500]

I do like the blue. With a brighter color it would be easier to spot it in the woods if you set your machine down. The camo one I would be afraid it would get lost.

[@adventurearchaeology]

Haha I’ve done that with the camo apex a couple times lol

[@DIGOLOGIST]

I plan on buying this new Vortex. Nokta has just come out with the triple score for less money as well. It will be interesting to see how it performs against my Legend & Nox800. Thanks for the great video.

I wonder why they didn't go wire-less with the Vortex, I use a wire-less machine relic hunting, you don't have to worry about getting tangled up in the brambles, and when the machine is collapsed you don't have a wad of wire around the shaft.

[@bobkurmis5347]

Hey Brandon. Greadings from Rochester, New York. Excellent video. I’m very excited about the new Vortex. I have been a Garrett user for about seven years now I was using whites before that. I really like the Apex machine that’s basically my go to machine. The AT Pro is for my water hunting. I always said if they could take the Apex and make it waterproof it would be the perfect machine. Looking forward to future videos.

[@jaspergrey108]

Its about time Garrett came out with something more advanced. I’m not against their machines at all. They are great, but they have some catching up to do. I hope they keep on till they are top tier. I am running Minelab and XP, but I would rather spend my money here in the U.S.A. I use their pinpointer already. Great Video brother!

We will have one done on here soon. I didn’t want to do what every other tester does and bore everyone to tears with random tests. The field is where a machine proves itself so that’s where I put it 😎

[@MD-NWWI]

Hi! Great video and I'm looking forward to getting my vortex. I was reading the getting started manual and it has an option called high resolution iron discrimination. I've never seen anything like that before. What does it do and how do we set it? Thank you and I'm looking forward too some in depth videos on the operation of this machine.

[@donaldlee6699]

I kept saying metal detectors have moved in to technology through software. I kept saying they could do it all with software. It is a continuation of White's Spectra V3i. This may be my next metal detector. I have noticed through recent years metal detectors dominating with the technology of software writers. I never doubted Garrett for a minute. American made! Good quality workmanship. This might be the first software writers that totally changed the metal detector? I will wait and make an informed decision. To have the best metal detector is to have the best software writers? For the past few years there has been one leader in the metal detecting field that is the leader with software writers, and customer relationsI Together with being attentive and responsive. To have the best software writers simply advertise for software writers and willing to pay top salary. I subscribed. Thanks for the video.

[@adventurearchaeology]

You are right. Software is the future of detecting and how machines “morph”

[@donaldlee6699]

@@adventurearchaeology This is what White's Spectra V3i owners kept wanting in the V3i. Waterproof! New technology. Lithium-ion battery! I never did count Garrett out! And the ability to update a metal detector from one version of the metal detector to a completely different model is awesome. Garrett has raised the bar and it will be a hard act to follow. Thanks for the video.

[@stevenxindaris1477]

Would like to see depth on coins on land and beach.

[@wadehendryx7378]

Looks like a good one. 😊

[@ifindmetal]

I get their price points are low on this $600 for the vx9 but I don’t see carbon fiber and are the wireless headphones extra ? Based on the launch it seems like everything is extra so it adds up , curious how you see the iron bars as anything different than etrac

[@adventurearchaeology]

The MS3 headphones from previous models will work with the Vortex so no added cost if you have a Garrett Machine using them Already. The carbon fiber shaft would be nice but it saves quite literally ozs of weight for quite a higher price. The iron bars would be better compared to the manticore in my opinion but flipped and of course for less than 1/2 the price. The downloadable upgrades will definitely be how the detector market moves forward I have no doubt. Software is the difference maker.

[@ifindmetal]

@@adventurearchaeology the thing is they are t targeting at max buyers here they are targeting Minelab and Nokta so the accessories are not there

[@stinkasscat]

I wouldn't mention the Manticore and this machine in the same sentence. They are nothing close to the same. The Manticore comes with headphones, the Manticore has cam locks, the Manticore has 10X the settings for adjustment. All that being said, I really wanted to buy and support an American company. The dealbreaker for me was no headphones and "thin mode." Which was specifically mentioned as being for gold coins and hammered coins in Europe. I live in the U.S.A. and I could pull up multiple videos of gold coins found with Minelab and XP machines. The last machine I bought without headphones cost me $269, not $450. My Bounty Hunter Tracker 4 that I started out with had this type of locks on it. I have a Manticore and what I've seen of those iron bars, no that is nothing like a Manticore.

[@mrMacGoover]

I still have my 150, they gotta get away from using steel round tube for their frames to get them to fold down more compact.

Yes @ 2:48 it's a Horse Bit. Going into the set you use/used would be great. thanks

[@adventurearchaeology]

Cool, thanks

[@THEBULK1023]

seems like to me that the Garrett at Max is just as good, or maybe even better because you can bring back up batteries, and separation doesn't matter when it's best to dig all signals, the color is nice though. and salt water capability is also nice

[@adventurearchaeology]

Honestly recovery speed is faster than an Atmax. Don’t get me wrong I love my Max but the Vortex will be my new goto!

[@jerrytalley802]

What other machines have you used, how does the Vortex compare in depth?

[@adventurearchaeology]

I’ve used pretty much everything on the Market. Today while in Virginia I was hitting signals a ctx30/30 was missing. Time will tell and I’m sure there will be a ton of comparison videos coming out once the machines launch.

[@jerrytalley802]

Was it bad ground, high iron or? If it goes as deep as the 3030, it will be a winner, and I may buy my first Garrett since the AT pro, lol. QUESTION; does it have a noise cancel? Thanks

I really wanted to like the Vortex, but the sound is way too jarring and stressful to me, so that ends my interest in the Vortex, I'm done. The Minelab detectors are so much better sounding and I'm really enjoying using the Manticore with the M9 coil, which is amazing. I just found an iPhone at 18 inches in the wet sand.

When I first seen the Vortex I did not care for the blue color, but now that I watched your video i like it, I like the Pod design it reminds me of my Axiom, I am kind of on the fence on this one, have the Legend which is a good detector or was a good detector until the 1.11 version was introduced and my Legend has not been the same since I installed the 1.11 so this new Vortex I may be picking one up when they become available

Anyway I'm definitely gonna give it a shot again. But I'm really interested in the thing floating above you when you are diving.? I'm assuming it's a breathing apparatus? If so it looks very cool! Runs off batteries? How long can you stay down? And I'm curious what it cost? Ballpark? Thanks for all of your videos! I have seen them all and always look forward to the new one's!

A money grab would be designing 3 machines that do the same thing and charging outrageous pricing. Some people do not have $600 to spend on a detector but they do have $400. Instead of buying an entire new machine they can pay the small upgrade fee when they have the money and save theirselves the hassle of learning a new machine and its capabilities.
