Thank you again for the no drama video. So much more thorough and professional than others on KZbin.

[@southernrelicadventures]

You are certainly welcome kind sir ! Just enjoyed the beach with the Vortex. Fun machine to use.👍😊

[@PacificAdventures-i7b]

Mr Southern Relics I'd like to thank you for your relaxed representation of the machines you use, I'm new to this and you inspire me to get metal detecting, thank you 👌

[@southernrelicadventures]

@@PacificAdventures-i7b thank you we try ! We love to hunt and try all machines out. This time of the year is nice in the beach without all the crowds. 👍😊

boom let's go let's go treasure and adventure ✌👵

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thanks Grandma !

[@ChrisE1129]

Great video! The Vortex was real stable on the beach! Congrats on your finds!

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thank you Chris ! Having fun with the machine on the beach 🏖️ Ran smooth and dug typical beach targets with no problem 👍

[@MrRBnGA]

A goat for the G.O.A.T.! Way to go. Thanks for keeping an open mind! 👍

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thanks for the kind words. Had fun using the Vortex on the beach 👍😊

[@keeganm6146]

Great beach machine

[@southernrelicadventures]

Yes it did great 👍😊

[@michaelworkman]

Good hunt

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thank you so much enjoyed using it for the first time on the beach 🏖️

[@ohiofredl]

Thanks for posting.

[@southernrelicadventures]

Appreciate you watching! 👍

[@NCRelicHunter223]

Great video! Looks like it runs great on the beach.

[@southernrelicadventures]

I was happy with it's performance!

[@michaelworkman]

Looks good on the beach

[@southernrelicadventures]

I was happy with how it ran! Was fun using it 👍

[@ProspectorsCache]

Nice Hunt.... Glad Garrett is fixing things, but I sent mine back and decided on the Triple Score as it has many more features for less money. Needed a backup to the Deus 2. Garrett still has a like of features, free accessories and bugs for me. Might be for some, but get a no from me at this time.

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thanks buddy ! It’s all what you feel sometimes. I do think it will get better over the next few months. Appreciate all your support !

[@KernowekTim]

Patience is key. Good things often come to those who can wait a wee bit.

[@ProspectorsCache]

@KernowekTim maybe

[@PatrickParker-fc6hy]

The goat gets a goat

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thanks such an unusual find !

[@terrygreennway9655]

Just wondering if Garrett sent you the Vortex, so you could test and promote it?

[@southernrelicadventures]

@@terrygreennway9655 no sir they did not 👍

[@digginggopher]

Have you tested the vdi on large silver, that was my biggest question avout the update, not that im planning on getting the machine i already have too many, but im just curious

[@southernrelicadventures]

There is a short showing that. VDI is more inline where it should be 👍

Garrett Vortex New Update Silver Dollar Test kzbin.infowOjcx0xOfmI?feature=share

[@DigginDude-vt8sx]

First of all great video and thank you so much for posting ! I’m glad to see the improvements on the Vortex. I have owned and own a lot of different high-end machines from analog to digital and I don’t say this easily….this must be one of the quietest machines I’ve seen on the beach. Of course I don’t have it in my own hands… but for me to purchase this machine and use it on the beach I would agree with the testers that it needs bottle cap rejection in the multi frequency on the beach mode. Also a version of full tones for this machine. Great job Brian, looks like Garrett’s moving in the right direction . Cheers

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thank you for the kind words and feedback, it is greatly appreciated! 👍 they are working hard and listening. I can hunt with this machine with no problem at all. I think the issues will get fixed soon 👍😊

[@DigginDude-vt8sx]

@ awesome! Well done 👍 👍

[@JB-yg7cl]

No Bottle cap rejection in Multi Salt Beach mode that’s a big problem they got fix

[@southernrelicadventures]

Wish I could say I know they will but not sure. I have tested it with bottle caps and for me it’s pretty obvious but I rarely use bottle cap reject on any of my other machine the audio tells me what I need to know. But that’s just me I understand where people are coming from. Maybe they add it ? I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

[@terrygreennway9655]

Just wondering if Garrett sent you that Vortex to test or promote?

[@markdoehrman5134]

I think Vortex will be great. Really cannot think of a bad Garrett ever made. At pro, At max, the 400 etc still bieng bought and used today with much success to the users. Really think this one will be worked out. Just a few , just a few adjustments.

[@southernrelicadventures]

It's definitely got potential! and can hunt ! Thank you so much for the feedback 👍😊

[@Hal_tx]

Did they fix the issues where the VDI's changed when you changed frequencies/channel?

[@southernrelicadventures]

Yes 👍

[@TonyLynch-r4y]

Great machine on the Beach

[@southernrelicadventures]

It did perform well for me and had fun using it. 👍😊

@southernrelicadventures Respect from the Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@GaryandtheGooseDetecting]

Hey Brian how is it to swing? Feels comparable to any othr machine? Thanks for the video

[@southernrelicadventures]

@@GaryandtheGooseDetecting very well balanced ! Thought it would feel heavy at first but after using it I can tell it is really balanced well

[@lancemcilwainoutcastmetald5398]

So what was actually fixed on the update ?

[@southernrelicadventures]

@@lancemcilwainoutcastmetald5398 so far what I have seen is the Silver coin VDI has been improved and I am sure more enhancements may be made, the On / Off issue has been addressed. I have shown those things on video Remember this was a beta update and feel sure that Garrett will try to hit some more. Haven’t seen any bricking and charge issues with this update. The release of what they are working on will happen very soon . Looks like VDIs are more stable. The real update may address more but I don’t know what those things will be. Stay tuned as update should happen coming this week from what Steve said on Friday. Are you thinking of getting one and testing it ? Maybe you should you seem to like testing. I think you would do good at it and you can share what you are seeing. You did really well on testing vids you put up.

[@lancemcilwainoutcastmetald5398]

@ i do like testing detectors. I Probably like testing more than i do actual hunting. And yes i am thinking about getting one to test but im about maxed out on the number of metal detectors my wife will allow lol.

[@MetalLiquidator]

U.S marine corps badge. good job:-)👍

[@southernrelicadventures]

Thank you ! Appreciate ya watching ! 👍😊

[@Chuck-js8dy]

Nice video but why would anyone in their right mind buy this over the Triple Score or Xterra Elite. SMH

[@southernrelicadventures]

Everyone is different and like different things.Some just like Garrett some may feel it suits them the best 🤷‍♂️I have hunted with it.

[@diggindarrell]

Maybe that is a sign that the Garrett Vortex is the goat for beach hunting. 🐐

[@southernrelicadventures]

😂 thanks buddy ! Had a great time using the Vortex on the beach !

[@gaspipe7548]

Why would anyone buy this until the glitches are worked out anyway?

[@southernrelicadventures]

Some just like new machines. I can tell you that Garrett is working hard and update is coming hopefully this week. I am using the update now.

[@PaulyVeee]

@@southernrelicadventuresDid it fix the issues?

[@misterbrent]

OR check out the Minelab Vanquish 340 at only $200!

[@southernrelicadventures]

I have the Vanquish 540 not a bad machine at all . They are all good just got to find the one that suits you best. All machines have strengths and weaknesses and all machines miss things too 👍😊 No perfect detector.

[@MrLukaszcu]

I guess the question is ...why are YOU getting the beta update?

[@southernrelicadventures]

Update will be here soon 👍😊

[@southernrelicadventures]

@@misterbrenthe sent it to me just before our livestream on Friday Night. Go watch it. I use many different manufacturers and I love trying out new machines

[@zerxkydc532]

If this Garrett works out and the updates go smooth I would gladly purchase this Vortex over another Nokta or Minelab machine !!

[@NHbeachmetaldetecting]

ya without minelab you would not even have a multi machine bud!

[@richardpelkey539]

Glad they are addressing the pribkems.

[@southernrelicadventures]

@@richardpelkey539 they are I am very optimistic person when it comes to detectors ! I think they will get a lot resolved soon. May not be everything but it will be a good many. 👍😊

[@Metal-Detecting-Texas]

The long lost million dollar goat pendant.

[@southernrelicadventures]

😂 Yep that’s the one ! 😆

[@DetectMeister]

Feed back is the only way Garrett will improve their machines.

[@southernrelicadventures]

Yes it may take a few updates to get some problems resolved. I think the machine will get better over time.

[@connorsrelicsandtreasures9862]

Which beach did you go to and Nikoline Bohr found a sterling dog pin on Nantucket Massachusetts beach 🏖️ the same one you found.

[@Yakena1]

There are too many brands that work out of the box with more features with a better price to mess with this fixer upper.

[@southernrelicadventures]

Time will tell 👍😊 thanks for watching

[@ProspectorsCache]

I agree with that.... I was really pulling for Garrett, but I think they missed the mark on this one at that price point. There are $250 detectors that have beach mode with bottle cap rejection and more than 3 and 5 tones. I sent mine back, I hated the audio.

[@southernrelicadventures]

@ 10-4 buddy .👍😊 Well go check out our triple score walk through and hunts. It is a great machine as well. 👍😊

[@midnightcoil]

The only thing id use a garret for on the beach is fighting off homeless people. They missed the mark by 20 years on technology. The pinpointers are still ok.

[@mentaldetectingireland]

They're handy for swatting flies
