Totally agree with you. I water hunt with a Deus 2 , Equinox 900 and an Original Fisher Impulse (with 8" coil). The Impulse will go a lot deeper in the water..I'll add that I do have the experience and own/use mainly the Deus 2, NOX 600 & 800. My detector wall is pretty full of hanging hardware, ATPro, F74LTD, V3i, CZ21, Excal 2, PI Pro Plus, Sea Hunter MK2 - (I love it for travel), TDI Beach Hunter to recall the most popular units hanging. IMHO I Cannot beat a PI for raw depth while saltwater wading up to my neck. In Mexico last year and the year before I met some locals who have taken to beating out the tourist-detectorists to the new jewelry drops. They don't care about the tides, they only care about being in first before I'm even outta bed. The SH MK2 was my best tool to get gold, digging faint hits, making holes halfway up my calf scored for me.
I've not posted in a long time due to other life distractions but that seems to be settling down, slowly for me. My adult stepson swings the 'Core, NOX, ATMax & V3i and we often compare undug signals on colonial sites. The Vortex announcement in my email was a nice surprise and this is my go to (first) forum to read opinions and real world experience. I'd gladly put the Vortex to the test if one landed at my door![]()
So,what is the priceI like it. I really like the fact that you can upgrade to the next level detector by "NOT" ordering another machine, but by simply downloading software to take you to the next metal detector level. No more "I have too many detectors in my closet." The pricing is also unbelievable.

$599 for the vx9 model.So,what is the price.
WHO KNOWS LOLIt's now August 25th when will we get our hands on one??? What's going on with the release to the public???
I personally do not think it will be much longer before the Vortex is out and for sale, just my opinion thoughmaybe ready for sale at xmas
Agree! The Fisher Impulse AQ LTD has those ancient design shaft locks and at least a few of us have taken them off and replaced them with cam-locks like the ones shown from Steve's Detector Rods. Problem of silting up solved!Looking more closely I see…
a potential issue for extended water use. The shaft locks if they are the old cam design, can silt up and freeze. This would possibly require a pressure wash to remove the grit. This has been a real issue on many detectors. My friend and fellow club member waterwalker set up a pressure washer in the back of his van to flush out the crud after his water hunts. I see the aftermarket shaft makers eyeing this i$$ue.
