Garrett Metal Detectors Vortex VX5 metal detector bundle — Waterproof to 16 ft, submersible with accessories

The Garrett Vortex VX5 Bundle is a waterproof, submersible metal detector system with a full accessory kit for hunting coins, jewelry, and relics in water or on land.

Designed for serious hobbyists who need an all-terrain detector, the Vortex VX5 balances sensitivity, target identification, and recovery speed while remaining fully submersible to 16 feet (5 meters). This bundle adds practical field gear — an Edge Digger, knee pads, gloves, Keeper Cleaner brush, and ClearSound headphones — so you can start searching immediately with tools that complement the detector’s performance and durability.

How does the Vortex VX5 perform in shallow water and wet sand?

The Vortex VX5 is engineered to operate reliably when submerged and in wet or salty conditions, maintaining consistent sensitivity and accurate target readings. Its waterproof construction and stable circuitry reduce false signals caused by water interference, so you can hunt at water’s edge or wade comfortably.

• Fully submersible housing rated to 16 feet (5 m) for river, lake, and beach use
• Stable target ID and discrimination in wet sand and shallow surf
• Quick recovery to separate closely spaced targets in waterlogged soils
• Sealed controls and connectors to prevent moisture ingress

What makes this bundle ready-to-use out of the box?

The package supplies more than the detector: you get digging and protective accessories that reduce setup time and increase comfort during long hunts. The included ClearSound headphones help you hear subtle audio cues, while the digging tools and knee pads let you extract finds cleanly and work longer without discomfort.

• Garrett Edge Digger for efficient soil removal and controlled digging
• Protective knee pads and gloves to reduce fatigue and protect hands
• Keeper Cleaner brush for safe cleaning of coins and jewelry
• ClearSound headphones for clearer tones and improved target separation

How well does the VX5 identify and separate targets?

The VX5 offers accurate target identification and fast recovery speed, helping you distinguish coins, jewelry, and relics in cluttered areas. Its tuning and discrimination options let you focus on desired signals while reducing nuisance targets like iron trash.

• Reliable target ID to prioritize valuable finds
• High recovery rate for tight or overlapping targets
• Adjustable discrimination settings to filter unwanted signals
• Clear audio tones for intuitive signal interpretation

What should I expect for durability and support?

Garrett builds the Vortex VX5 to withstand rugged use; the detector and accessories are constructed from robust materials suited for field conditions. The bundle includes a limited manufacturer’s warranty that covers defects and supports long-term ownership confidence.

• Rugged components designed for outdoor use and frequent handling
• Waterproof seals and corrosion-resistant finishes for wet environments
• Support and limited warranty from Garrett for parts and workmanship

Who is this for: The Garrett Vortex VX5 Bundle is ideal for intermediate to experienced detectorists who hunt beaches, rivers, lakeshores, and parks and want a ready-made kit to begin searching immediately. It also suits new users who prefer a complete, warranty-backed package that covers comfort, digging, and audio detection needs without buying extra accessories separately.
