Garrett Vortex vs Nokta Triple Score

[@cvdm9663]

Triple Score doesn't have 40kHz as far as I can tell.

[@noway423]

04,15,20 Hz

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

It runs 40 kh in the multi M2..

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Thats correct...did not put 40 in single but it runs 40kh in multi m2

[@GENOBURRITO1]

There more I see of the vortex, the less I am impressed with it. One would surmise that a company whose detectors lag behind all the rest, would produce a machine to get them back in the mix. Unfortunately, I don’t see that with the vortex. I don’t know, but in my opinion, Garrett has failed when their newest machine cannot keep up with cheaper models from other companies.

[@diggingwithphasetech]

Triple Score is just a great machine

[@DavidJohnson-ff4li]

Good stuff Calabash 👍

[@earthscannz5563]

another fantastic unbiased comparison mate - clearly one stands out over the other

[@finders-keepers1518]

The real issue is the American companies are simply steps behind. Big (really small) advancements to them were already introduced to us by imported machines....and you can see that by looking at the features of their entry level units! They're ahead of the best offerings from the American brands. Sad to say I think they're no longer seen in the rear view mirror.

[@stillair1]

I made an informed decision for a friend via your videos👍👍.Triple score on special in the UK , £425 now delivered.

[@DiggingCanuck]

Very informative :) Like you said, Garrett people are very brand loyal and will likely not care about the items you pointed out :)

[@justinandsheba]

I was really hoping that with Garrett owning White's intellectual property that this unit would be closer to an updated V3i, but that's certainly not the case at all. One thing I've realized is that this Vortex isn't for me. My Etrac runs circles around this thing.

[@ohiofredl]

Thanks for all the information and demonstration and posting.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

My pleasure!

[@JB-yg7cl]

Is it still locking up

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Only 2 times..

[@JB-yg7cl]

You doing a beach test next with the Multi Salt on vortex

[@LeeWilson-x5g]

Minelab elite or Triple score which one should I go with?

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Elite has triple on smallest (tiny) gold on beach.....They are pretty close...

[@RelicsRings]

The tripple score IMO is probably the best value a person can get right now for a metal detector. The Vortex, unfortunately, is way behind the competition as far as featured go and looking like performance as well. I've got a Vortex on order. I'll have to see how it works in my high mineral soil.

[@DIG_5050]

I remember how poorly the Apex worked in your soil in one of your videos. A lot of us have no use for the waterproof feature, but what I see in these few test videos regarding performance, Garrett could have done with an update to the (updatable/upgradable)Apex, then sold the update a la carte to Apex users. Let the users wanting waterproofing and an updated menuing screens purchase the Vortex. Good luck with the Vortex, @RelicsRings. I'm subscribed and will be watching for your test videos.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

KEEP US IN THE LOOP..

[@lanenebraska3322]

Can we see the vortex in the normal test bed-non iron test bed?

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Yes

[@mentaldetectingireland]

Jesus christ it's basically a updated Apex , Thats why Digger Dawn wasn't allowed to show the screen or pollute us with those horrendous tones .

[@justinandsheba]

Yeah... just a waterproof Apex with a dumbed down version of the Manticore paint feature.

[@mentaldetectingireland]

@justinandsheba lots of tests ahead I reckon but for our style of detecting the jig is up unfortunately 😕 looking forward to the beach vids and especially thin silver / Gold either o beach or land ,

[@jerrytalley802]

CBD, thanks for the testing, and saving us a lot of time and hard earned money. Garrett has their head in the sand. The only hope for selling these is a low priced entry unit at best. Plus, the beast bulletproof build of Nokta = no thanks Garrett. So disappointing, I have been rooting for Garrett, I’m done.

[@tommywinthrop3429]

very horrendous tones!!!!!

[@mentaldetectingireland]

@tommywinthrop3429 sounds like someone cutting a bucket in half 🤣😂🤣

[@stefangommers8826]

I have the Triple score and i have won the Vortex (im the last person in the livesteam they had) now im very curious how the Vortex preform in Thin coin mode can you make a video of that program please 😊 greeting from The Netherlands

Yes

Did you turn the iron filter on like they posted in the videos about trashy areas just wondering ? Calabash

I think the Fisher F44 would also bitch slap the Vortex

[@ericgorzynski5843]

Too expensive 😮

[@larrypendergraft2696]

Which software level was the Vortex running at, 3, 5, or 7? (I *think* those are the levels...)

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Whatever it came with...

[@larrypendergraft2696]

@calabashdiggeradventures OK, the levels are VX5, 7, and 9. It appears that you have VX9 software, because of the three horizontal bar scales on the display.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

Oh yeah I have the VX9 ...I thought you were talking about an update version..

[@qj8933]

The 3 level mapping screen seems to work good in showing multiple targets simultaneously. I think Garrett could have done much better with the screen graphics interface to compete better though. The lack of features leaves the Vortex anemic just like you mentioned Calabash, every mid-high level Multi Frequency Detector comes with headphones standard and in some cases additional coils so Im kind of feeling like Garret is "A La Carting" this to generate the most revenue they can on a not quite ready for market machine... I currently own the Manticore and Deus II but my first machine was the Nokta Legend and for $650 I got the Pro pack that included the headphones, 6 inch and 12 inch Coils along with an extra auxiliary battery pack. Garret has their work cut out of for them, thanks for producing all these Test Videos it gives me something to report back to my Metal Detecting Club for those Garret Fans.

[@justinandsheba]

I think it's really lame that the VX5 doesn't even have wireless enabled, so you have to "upgrade" to at least the VX7 just to use the Z Lynk headphones.

[@MrLukaszcu]

Problems is Garrett does NOT listen to their costumers... everybody wanted a waterproof Apex but Garrett was like ... No F@kU. Im just hoping that 2d screen thing saves it.

[@АлександрАлександр-п8м7у]

Все хороши тесты от Вас.!!!Но не видел теста,где золотая монета между гвоздями.Это новый уровень производителей МД.Или расбросать несколько серебренных монет через гвозди.

[@JB-yg7cl]

I like to support American companies but you got me regretting buying it now hopefully it’s just a software update and not a defect on the battery and bricking and hopefully they got the leaking problem fixed

[@markdoehrman5134]

Really like to see the KING of single frequency detectors the MIGHTY T2 against Triple Score or even the Deus 2. Alot of comparison videos out there do not bring out the MIGHTY T2,,,hmmm, maybe theres a reason for that one? We need to know.

[@calabashdiggeradventures]

What you need to know is the T2 is short...I can show it if you want to send me yours...

[@markdoehrman5134]

​Ive always wanted a T2 just never followed through,,but from other testers ive seen,,like Delta Fresh and HunterGt,,it seems like its still a top contender, im sure Hunter or Gt would be happy to see you run it against the the Triple Score,,as I'm pretty sure it's still a detector they can't part with, and that says alot,,maybe thier wrong,,what do you think? ​@@calabashdiggeradventures

[@Hal_tx]

I remember when the Nokta's first came out. They were full of problems. You hated them. It took them forever to fix them. You just got the Vortex yesterday. I'd say it's a heck of a lot better than the Nokta's were when they first came out. Do you recall all this? You were in a feud with Nokta. I'd say the Vortex ain't doing too bad for day 2. It's software up-gradable. Give Garrett the same chance you did Nokta. I'm not saying they will do anything, but at least give them them a little time. Personally, I don't run Garrett but I know the company well and they support the hobby better than any other company. Try and put on a seeded hunt without their support. Just sayin.....

[@justinandsheba]

It's software upgradeable, but no update is going to give it a vibrating handle option. They really need to expand on the tone options and have an auto noise cancel feature.

[@earthscannz5563]

big stories

[@deltafreshrelics1660]

Nokta really really stepped up their game when they released the original simplex. Imagine them sitting around a round table and having that moment that Garrett desperately needs where they finally did what the community was asking for. They listened. It made them a success story. Prior to the simplex they did almost nothing to correct their machines. The multi kruzer, anfibio and impact had few if any updates. How many updates did the Apex get so far?

[@Hal_tx]

@@justinandsheba Do you really use the vibrating handle? I have that on my Manticore and think it's useless.

[@Hal_tx]

@@deltafreshrelics1660 Nokta didn't have much choice. The detector was terrible when it first came out. The Garrett, from watching this video, seems pretty good. It may need a little tweaking but it doesn't look too bad for day 2.

[@CavemanDigsRelics]

Seems to me Garrett has put the hobby market second. They make so much money on the security/industrial metal detecting market that they will always be around as a company.

[@justinandsheba]

I mean... they make a great pinpointer, but even that could be improved by releasing a rechargeable model.
