The new Garrett Vortex aka “Smurf machine” is a disaster! Doesn’t even compete with Minelabs entry level machines. Garrett cost cutting all over this machine with the same coil/headphones as the 15 year old at pro. If only Garrett spent as much money on product development as celebrity colaberations they may have been competitive. Garrett is going downhill fast.

Hi I want buy coil for garrett apex

I bought my grandson (12) the Jase Robertson Ace Apex and a Garrett pointer. We chose to take the word from a Christian man - Jase Robertson

Heck yeah! Congrats!!

10 years in making this vortex will suck the treasure out of the ground i tell you no need to dig.

Six years later and my AT Max with Z link is still performing as good as new! My sixth Garrett detector and I couldn't be happier with the quality and depth. Thanks to everyone at Garrett for building a great product line.

"Speed and Target Separation" could the tester swing the coil any slower, completely unrealistic test and poor demonstration.

Congratulations on your amazing find!

Awesome!

Garrett ❤ can’t wait to get my VX9! USA 🇺🇸

Get minelab

So lucky

🎉

Cuando estára ala venta para México?

I agree

فلزیاب آپادانا 🎉🎉❤❤

Great to hear, and a good move to clear up the confusion between updates and upgrades. The Vortex sounds like it's going to be a good performer, love the upgrade path option. Great looking machine too.

Awesome!!!! Find.

If you believe the vortex to be a good detector then give one to calabash digger to test ! He will give an honest unbiased review. ONLY a positive review from him could convince me to buy one.

Nokta says why pay more for less. Garrett responds with hey guy’s “pay more for less is our motto”

An Amazing gold coin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pozdrawiam 👍

Basically it a blue Equinox 800

@Stack_Silver has hit the nail on the head with every comment he has made in this video posting! Garrett is doing damage control already caused by Calabash Digger and other reviewers who have simply reviewed the Vortex based on what it HAS and what it LACKS in features people…what part of this don’t some folks out there get? You don’t really think Garrett released two short approx 2 min videos in the last 24 hrs because they had nothing better to do, or their tee times got pushed up a few days because of Beryl do ya? Think about it! 😂

That's real nice. Congratulations, can you get a video of the screen of the vortex actually detecting something like that??

Looking forward to it!

The “ more power” option is interesting. Have you got any Indio the different power levels?

I don’t have one to put to the test I use Garrett detectors for 17 years and hundreds or thousands miles many fantastic discoveries I use now at max from 2018 extremely used never had any issues thank you Garrett

Here’s my read on the situation it’s going to be a great midrange machine with solid performance. I feel like there doing the same with this as they did with the Axiom. The Axiom is an amazing machine it’s not as expensive or as powerful deep seeking as a GPX6000 but it’s better than an SDC2300. I feel the Vortex is going to be better than an Equinox 700/900 but not as good as the Manticore atleast those are my hopes.

No large cents in the 1870s or 1880s, they were only made up to 1857. Yours would be 1790s to 1857.

Will the handle have a vibration mode for those of us that are hard of hearing or want to use it underwater?

What hasn't been explained is why no American tester has gotten to evaluate the performance or why pre-orders are being taken yet any videos there are of people testing (all overseas only for whatever reason) are still using prototypes. Despite all the techno-lingo I myself have still not seen anything any different from what is already out there.

Just more marketing! Get the thing into the market and let the users decide whether it's good or not! Sick of the bull.hit!

For the price... Uh yeah Not.

So those are the least ask questions or concerns about this, detective. Man, I was really hoping to buy one of these. It looks like i'm gonna get the equinox nine hundred instead

Literally nobody asked those questions. However there seems to be a lot of people that disappointed in the lack of features with the vortex ..that are common in mid-range metal detectors.

I would like to see Garrett get this right. I was hoping this video would include some substantive news, but this video update was much of a nothing-burger. No talk of filters being added to the specs, tone options being offered (Unless that was the “We’ve added a setting or two since it was released” referred to. And what, if any, accesories might be included? Or if not included, their add-on costs. i.e.: Wireless headphones, coil options, etc… ? Oh well, I guess we will have to wait for actual indpendent reviews by those who weren’t given a free machine and told they can’t show the VDI and make tones audible over targets on their videos (according to replies from at least 2 reviewers given the free “prototype” Vortex machines). Yes, that was very disappointing another misstep in this launch. It seems that maybe Garrett should have paused that “Storm” media buildup long enough to get the Vortex finalized, as some of the protoype reviewers are claiming. It’s clear now that Garrett is responding to some of the noted criticism following the initial launch video. Disappointing thus far, but I truley hope Garrett eventually gets ahead of this all. I’d like to see them actually offer something that outclasses the competition they have cited with at least equal to -or- better pricing. We’ll see, they have a hill to climb with the competition out there now.

AWESOME! I need to get one

Hi Steve. I appreciate this info. By the way, I'm formally an industrial metal detector engineer. I had the privilege of working with George Payne. Later.

Steve, Polished and informative as always. Bill

💯

Seems Calabash is having the desired effect and reaction 🙂👍😀

No light and no Vibration...would be nice

Steve said and everything is clear... Greetings from Poland 😍

Excited to see how this performs. I'm hopeful this new series will put a grin on everybody's face and make them proud to own a Vortex. 🤞

I've been charged for my vortex, over a week ago. when are they shipping?

Nice find🎉

Can’t wait to get one

I sure am looking forward to getting mine! Looks so exciting and fun! Is there a tentative ship date as of yet? Thank you for all you guys do 😊😊
