This is the machine from the videos, packed the way he and History Seekers actually take it to the field, and a portion of every purchase goes back to support the channel that keeps those hunts free to watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt by Two Detectorists, Not a Warehouse\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHistory Seekers built this package with Brandon Nicholas of Adventure Archaeology. It is not a detector in a box with an upsell list; it is the complete find-and-recover loadout: the Garrett Vortex VX9 with Z-Lynk wireless built in, MS-3 Z-Lynk headphones that pair without a single cable, a Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk that snaps into the same wireless audio, and the pouch, digger, and gloves the recovery actually requires. One order. Nothing missing. Hunting the day the box arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy the VX9\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VX9 is the top machine in Garrett's Vortex series. It runs simultaneous multi-frequency (Multi and a dedicated Multi-Salt for wet sand), plus five single frequencies from 5 to 25 kHz when conditions call for one. Seven search modes cover the ground this pack was built for: Standard and USA Coins for parks and yards, Thin Coins for hammered silver and small early coppers, Fast for trashy competition ground, Beach for the salt, and a Custom slot for your own settings. The 3-tier target ID puts iron on its own scales, above and below the non-ferrous band, so flat and tricky iron declares itself before you dig. And the whole detector submerges to 16 ft (5 m): creeks, surf line, and rain do not end the hunt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- VIDEO SLOT 2: Adventure Archaeology field-hunt video (added 2026-07-02) --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrom the Field with Adventure Archaeology\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch Brandon Nicholas of Adventure Archaeology work a lost plantation home site.

The Vortex VX9 is submersible to 16 ft (5 m) per Garrett, with a dedicated Multi-Salt frequency mode and a Beach search mode for wet sand and surf. The MS-3 headphones are wireless for land use; submerged hunting requires wired waterproof headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy are the MS-3 headphones and Z-Lynk pinpointer a big deal together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VX9 has Garrett's Z-Lynk wireless built in. The included MS-3 headphones and Pro-Pointer AT Z-Lynk both connect to it cable-free, so detector audio and pinpointer audio arrive in the same headphones with no wires to snag.
